"Wayne's World," the absurd and highly
popular Saturday Night Live (SNL) skit, has
successfully made the transition to the big
screen.
Anyone who watches SNL probably
knows the story behind "Wayne's World."
For those of you who don't, though, the film
is about a television show called "Wayne's
World." It's hosted by two very strange guys
named Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar
and broadcast from Wayne's basement in
Aurora, Illinois.
The slim plot of the movie, if you can call
it
that, concerns a slimy cable executive's at-
tempt to take over and exploit the show.
Playing Wayne and Garth, as in their roles
from SNL, are Mike Meyers and Dana
Carvey. On televison, they are extremely fun-

Does he go to Upstate Films

homework that has mysteriously
begun to pile up? Does he just pop

tion is already filled: see also, Bed-

Teen with AIDS

JENNIFER CHANDLER
Senior Editor
For Henri Nicols, Acquired Im-
mune Deficiency Syndrome, AIDS,
has been part of growing up - it's
always been there and it will never
go away.
Eighteen-year-old Nicols is a
hemophiliac and was infected with
the AIDS-causing HIV-virus
in
1983 through a blood transfusion.
He wasn't told he was infected un-
til 1985 because a test hadn't been
developed until then.
"You feel like you've been dis-
qualified," said Nicols. "There's
so many things you wanted to do
and it severely limits your life."
Nicols was diagnosed with AIDS
in November 1991.
them.
"No one can pick me out,
because I look normal," he said.
Most recently, Nicols has begun
dating a girl he has known since he
was five or six years old.
The fact he has AIDS doesn't
worry his girlfriend now because he
isn't showing any overt signs of the
disease, he said.
"She doesn't waste her time wor-
rying about it," said Nicols.
"When I get sick, she'll deal with
it then."
Curtis said it is harder to deal
with the reality her brother is go-
ing to die because he still looks and
acts healthy and his mind is still
there.
Right now, Nicols' immune
system is non-existent and the next
serious infection he gets ·could very

According to Curtis, the best

AIDS, caused by the human im-
munodificiency virus, HIV, is
transmitted only by the exchange of
body fluids -
specifically, blood,
semen, vaginal secretions and, in·
some cases, breast milk.
AIDS breaks down the body's
immune system and thereby makes
a person with AIDS vulnerable to
a variety of life-threatening il-
lnesses called opportunistic
infections.
T:he average person who has
· AIDS lives between 16-24 months,
said Jennifer NicolsaCurtis, Nicols'
oldest sister who spoke Feb. 10 in
the Theatre.
According to Nicols, the most
important message he wants to get
across to people is you can't tell if
someone has AIDS by looking at
"You -have a responsibility of
understanding that AIDS is not a
danger to you or your friends, ig-
norance is," said Curtis.
When Nicols was diagnosed in
1985 as HIV-Positive, his fan'lily
chose to keep the illness a secret
from everyone but Nicols' two
sisters and his parents.
This was difficult, said Curtis.
"Everyone was making jokes
about AIDS," said Curtis. "I had
a friend come up and tell me they
shouldn't operate on people with
AIDS."
. Nicols HIV-status was kept a
secret until March
7,
1991, when
the family held a press conference
at the Regional Boy Scout Head-
quarters and told anyone who
wanted to know that he had AIDS.
Curtis said Nicols really wanted
to talk about AIDS so people could
understand the disease and not be
afraid of him.
According to Curtis, Nicols had
been in boy scouts all his life and
wanted to be an eagle scout. To be
an eagle scout, one has to do a
project.
Nicols decided to do his project
on
AIDS.
The family first told people it
thought wouldn't want to find out
about Nicols' illness at a press con-
ference, such
as
his teachers, school
officials and. family frie'nds. The
rest of the town was told later, said
Curtis.
Most of the town reacted welJ to
Nicols' news and Curtis said the
family has received over 10,000 let-
ters -
over 90 percent of them
supportive.
"We got a letter from two
hemophiliac-boys in Florida who
wanted to go to school," said Cur-
tis. "Their dog was killed and their
house was burned down. They
eventually moved."
Nicols is the first person, in a
public school, to come forward on
his own• and tell the public about
his disease.
In New York State, it is illegal
to keep Nicols out of school
because the state has decided AIDS
isn't a communicable disease, said
Curtis.
For the future, Nicols said he

Canterbury
for sophs?
It's optional
by
KERRY NOONAN
Staff Writer
Next year, all sophomores will
have the option to live in the
Canterbury Garden Apartments.
However, "option" is the key
word. Despite the rumors that have
been spreading, sophomores will
not be forced to live there.
According to John Padovani,
assistant director or housing,
sophomores must have a 2.5 grade
· point average and parental pennis-
sion in order to live in Canterbury.
Even now, there arc some
students who aren't aware of where
Canterbury is or what it even looks
like.
Canterbury is located about five
miles off campus and is Marist pro-
perty. The complex has one- and
two-bedroom apartments with kit-
chens and living rooms.
However, current freshmen from
Leo, Sheahan, Champagnat and
Marian Halls, said they would not
choose to live there.
One reason was that some
students didn't want to go off the
meal plan.
"I
would not w:..nt
to
actually
have to coc!:;· said Linda Baron,
a Leo Hall resident.
Other freshmen who said they
felt this way said it wasn't just the
meals, but the whole idea of the
dorm life that they liked better.
"Living in the dorms makes it
easier to visit your friends," said
Amy Sweeney of Kingston,
N.Y.
However, most complained
about the distance between Canter-
bury and the campus since many of
· these freshmen still will not have
cars by next year.
"l wouldn't want to have to de-
pend on the van service either,"
said Robyn Lefconski of Shelton,
Conn.
But one student said he felt
nothing could be better now than
· the option of Canterbury.
"I think Canterbury right now
would be a good idea because I've
lost so many priority points,'' said
Rich Menzies of Valley Stream,
N.Y.
Yet overall, many freshmen said
they were pretty sure Canterbury
wouldn't be their first, second or
even third choice for next year.
Consequently, those students
who already live in Canterbury
seemed to have mixed feelings.
Junior Sue Lewis of Danbury,
Conn. said that freshmen probably
aren't ready for the independent
life of Canterbury.

Bill problems

The Marist Foxnet Service, the
college telephone service, has pro-
vided a new contract for students
to cut down the number of

Students have been complaining
about mistakes in billing and cost-

Piedimonte said that her bill

but the Fox-

when she refused to pay it, said
Piedimonte
.
"
They threatened my credit, and
said that I wouldn't get my grades
if I didn't pay the bill," she said,
"so I finally gave in and paid the

Professor and CAS advisor Jim
Fahey said, "CAS is a great way
for students to see all the different
things happening in communica-
tion arts, and allow students in dif-
ferent tracks to network their ideas
from what they learn in class and
in other clubs."
The club will be touring the
Poughkeepsie Joumal, WPDH and
WMHT -
a radio station in
Albany - in March, and CNBC in
Fort Lee, N.J., and the New York
Times in April.
"We toured WPDH last
semester and many students were
amazed at the information they
were getting by just looking
around," Murphy said.
Murphy interned at CNBC last
year, and spoke to her employer
about allowing a tour of the
facilities.

"Liz is always trying to keep the
ba1l rolling," Fahey said. "We had
been thinking of reserving a studio
and practice using the camera,
operating the control room and

gain more knowledge to make bet-
ter decisions."

In light of the tremendous
changes in the former Soviet
Union, its people are faced with
desperate situations, said Casimir
Norkeliunas associate professor of
German and Russian, in an open
forum on Feb. 10 in the Fireside
Lounge.
"The people are just beginning
to realize that freedom also means
chaos, especially since the freedom
is new and never been experienced
before," said Norkeliunas to an au-
dience of 45 Marist faculty, staff,
and students.
The open forum, Kiev Reflec-
tions, provided the audience with
the opportunity to ask questions of
three visiting Ukranian students
who are participating in the first
Marist-Kiev State University
exchange.
The visiting students said their
country is seeing an increase in
crime, starvation, poverty and a
serious lack of goods in stores since
the August coup, which attempted
to overthrow Mikhail Gorbachev
and succeeded in ending years of
Communist rule.

media changes with those that oc-
curred in America
100
years ago.
"Freedom of the press depends
on the journalist. My sense is that
many journalists are trying to free
themselves through objective
writing," Hartsock said.
One of the dangers, according to
Hartsock, is that if newspapers
cover events from their ideological
viewpoints, much of what is
reported will be biased.
Hartsock left for the University
of Kiev on Feb.
11
to instruct
students there in international
media and American investigative
reporting.
His exchange counterpart, Dr.
Mikhail Skulenko, is currently
teaching a special topics com-
munication arts class, "The Media
in the USSR", at Marist on Thurs-
day nights.
Hartsock said he hopes to re-
main in the Soviet Union to con-
tinue his freelance work this
summer.

of the 453 who did vote were
freshmen. Resident Student Coun-
cil President Jay Linder said this
turnout ~•gave positive indications
that students will get involved in
the new government."
One-hundred and three juniors
voted in the referendum, as did 84
sophomores and 43 seniors.
Fifty-eight of the votes cast were
from commuters. Nella Licari,
director of CSL public relations
and a commuter, said she was
pleased at the commuter turnout,
but there is room for improvement.
"I am very happy with the
number of commuters who did
vote, but I wish more would get in-
volved," she said.
Bob Lynch said giving the stu-
dent body a louder and clearer
voice in their own governance was
·
a key goal of the new constitution.
"The current student govern-
ment administration really cares
that the student voice is
represented. I don't think most of
the students at this school know
how hard their student government
works for them," Lynch said.
Thomson said the new constitu-
tion was a necessity for student
government because it would in-
crease student representation and
cut down on the unnecessary
bureaucracv.

As Hobie Armstrong voted in
the public referendum for the Stu-
dent Government Association, he
praised the potential strength of the
new constitution, and he also ex-
pressed the importance of student
participation.
"I think its good that the con-
stitution is expanding and the col-
lege is realizing that we need a more
efficient government. If everyone
makes an initiative besides sitting
on their butt and being lazy then
it will work," said Armstrong, a
junior from Poughkeepsie, N. Y.
Armstrong was just one of the
many students who voted on the
referendum last Friday and cited
the enormous possibilities of the
new constitution.
The new constitution resembles
the United States Constitution and
contains legislative, executive, and
judicial branches.
"I think its a good idea for pro-
per representation. I give it a
thumb's up.
If
the students are
smart then they'll use the new
power. It's just like the U.S. Con-
stitution," said Jim O'Toole, a
junior from Poughkeepsie,
N
.
Y.
The new constitution, also
allows 10 people in the senate who
will
vote
on issues; the former
government had only four voters
.
Thus the Student GoYernment
Association (SGA) "'ill attract and
require more student participation
and each office will have a more
structured set of responsibilities.
"This new government will in-
spire students to be politically ac-
tive in the college and it will give
the incumbent more leeway to push
things
through
with
less
bureaucratic red tape," said Vin-
cent Monteleone, a junior from
Lil}coln Park, N.J., who also said
he was considering running for the
presidency.
Although many students voted
on the referendum last Friday,
there were also students who
shrugged off and ignored pleas
from workers who provided the
ballots.
"I noticed that the people in
Dyson didn't want to take the time
out in between classes. Some peo-

Julie Burns a junior and student

critical and important student par-

"Fools" wiil be shown in the.Cam-

and Saturday at
8
p.m. and on
Sunday at
2
p.m.
The teacher runs into all sorts of
mishaps with the other characters
wnich gives this play a different
kind of humor.
Tonight Neil Simon's comic
fable "Fools" comes to Marist
College.
Performed by the Marist College
Council
on
Theater Arts,
MCCTA, the setting of "Fools"
takes place in a small village in
Russia where the people have been
cursed with stupidity.
The storyline revolves around a
school teacher, played by freshman
Todd
Schmidt, whose
adventures
begin in trying
to
break a curse.
•'It
'
s an extremely funny p\ay in
a simple, slapstick way," said Vic-
toria Pratt, assistant director
of
"Fools."
Directed by Jim Steinmeyer and
produced b senior Anne Avotte,
As the plot continues, the school
teacher falls in love with a girl nam-
ed Sophia, played by junior
Maryellen DeAlleaume, who he
must teach to re-learn everything in
order for the village to regain their
knowledge.
An unusual aspect of "Fools" is
that the cast enters from the au-
dience as opposed to on stage.
The characters also interact with
the audience by talking to them
throughout the play and actually
using them as part of the set.
Looking for
student leaders
By
Nella Licari
Student Government elections will be held the
first week in March. CSL is looking for interested
students who would like to become a member of
the SGA, which will start its first administration
in April. An organizational meting for elections will
be held this Monday, Feb. 24, at 9:30 p.m. in the
Student Government Office in Campus Center, for
all students interested in appointed or elected posi-
tions. You do not have to be a political science ma-
jor to be in student government -
you just need
to have an interest in serving the student body.
SGA brings many changes to the election
qualifications of potential candidates. All positions,
appointed and elected, require no less than a 2.5
GPA and the student must be a full-time,
undergraduate.
All appointed positions also require three letters
of recommendation and a verifiable history of club
membership, while the position of Student Body
President only requires a verifiable club member-
ship history.
The highest Student Governance position
available to a student is the Student Body Presi-
dent. This position is elected campus-wide. The
Student Boey President is the campus ombudsman
and Executive-in-Chief of the SGA.
The Student Body President has the power to ap-
point an executive branch. The Administrative
Secretary and Director of SGA Relations are direct-
ly appointed by the Student Body President.
The position of Executive Vice-President, VP for
Academics, VP for Student life, VP for Clubs, VP
for Student Proeramminl?, Chief Finance Officer
and Chief Justice are appointed by the Student
Body President
,
upon approval of the Student
Senate.
The position of Chief Justice and VP for Stu•
dent Programming can be permanent positions.
They can remain in that position until resignation,
graduation, or impeachment.
The voting arm of SGA is the Student Senate,
which is comprised of ten seats. Each respective
class president will be granted a seat on the Senate.
The freshmen legislative seat shall remain vacant
until the Freshmen Elections, which will be held
in October. Four seats are open to resident students
who receive the highest totals of
the
popular vote.
The remaining two seats will be granted to a
Traditional and a Non-Traditional Commuter. A
Traditional Commuter is any student who resides
at their home address during enrollment. A Non-
Traditional Commuter is a student who temporarily
resides off-campus during enrollment.
The Judicial Branch has three appointed posi-
tions that are open. One of these positions must
be filled by a commuter. The Student Body Presi-
dent appoints these positions upon approval of the
Student Senate.

A Part of
Growing Up
The AIDS virus is serious about kill-
ing college students. But are we
serious about AIDS?
More than 120,000 people have died of Acquired Immune Defi-
ciency Syndrome, AIDS, in this country and
2
million more have
been infected with the HIV-virus. An increasing number of these
people are college students.
Jennifer Nicols-Curtis, whose 18-year old brother has AIDS, told
the Marist community last Monday that the fastest-growing AIDS
group in the country is 16-25 year-olds.
The facts speak for themselves, so why isn't Marist doing more
to promote AIDS awareness -
whether it be endorsing safe sex or
abstinence - or to provide more AIDS-programming for students'?
AIDS,
the end result of becoming infected with Human Immune
Deficiency Virus (HIV), breaks down the body's immune system and
thereby makes a person vulnerable to a variety of life-threatening
illnesses called opportunistic infections.
Although Marist may no longer be Roman Catholic-affiliated, the
college still embraces Catholic values and traditions.
As
a
result, it may be difficult to admit that some students at
Marist practice pre-marital sex. But if something more is not done
to educate students about AIDS, lives will be lost.
Perhaps we don't know how close to home AIDS really hits.
Seventy-five percent of AIDS-cases are transmitted through
heterosexual sex. This is not a disease affecting homosexuals any
longer. No one is immune to getting AIDS.
One in
200
college students is infected with the HIV-virus.
Therefore, statistically there are around
15 students at Marist who
either knowingly or unknowingly are infected with
HIV.
Curtis asked her audience at the lecture how they thought someone
at Marist would be treated if one came forward and told students
one had AIDS?
Almost everyone in the theatre said the person would not be
well-received.
If students were given the facts about
AIDS, they would know
the only way to contract AIDS is through the exchange of certain
body fluids -
blood, semen, vaginal secretions and, in some cases,
breast milk.
Students would know they don't have to be afraid of someone
who has AIDS because you can't get AIDS through casual contact.
It's ironic that Bard and Vassar Colleges, both prestigious learn-
ing institutions equal in size, if not smaller, to Marist, off er more
AIDS-programming for their students.
Bard has
an
active
AIDS Committee, teaches a course on sexually-
transmitted diseases and offers a STD workshop during freshmen
orientation.
Vassar has AIDS-information tables in the main hall giving out
free condoms. It has AIDS-education workshops and lectures and
also has two committees on campus devoted to raise AIDS-
awareness: "AIDS Education" and "Choice."
At Marist, there has been one lecture on AIDS. The college will
have an AIDS-information table on
Earth
Day and
has
Health Ser-
vices talk to students in the dorms or in one-to-one counseling.
These activities are good, but more needs to be done.
Why doesn't Marist have an AIDS-committee, STD workshops
during freshmen orientation, or more panel discussions and lectures
on campus?
AIDS
is here to stay and it is about time the Marist community,
not only changed the way it thinks about AIDS, but the way it
behaves.
Tyson and Dahmer
got what they deserve
by
MARK MARBLE
Within the past week, we have seen the
conclusions of two more major trial: the
Mike Tyson rape trial and the Jeffrey
Dahmer murder trial.
The ends of these cases may have answered
some questions, but many more questions re-
main unanswered, not just about defendants
but about the American legal system.
The Jeffrey Dahmer trial saw one of the
most used, and most abused, legal defenses
rear its ugly head once again - the insanity
plea.
It
seems every time any defendant is ac-
cused of a particularly vicious or grotesque
crime, out comes the "insanity plea." This
plea basically tries to paint the perpetrator
as
a victim.
.

Lines

trol his/her actions, or incapable of
understanding the difference between right
and wrong. So logically the accused can't be
held accountable for the crime.
was whether he was sane or insane.
The big question: "Does that really mat-
ter?"
If
one believes murder, or any major
crime, is abnormal behavior, then one could
argue. that any instance in ~hich someone
commits a crime he or she is suffering from
"temporary insanity."
Let's be brutally honest. Anybody who
eats human beings and prefers his sexual
partners to be deceased is not a truly sane
individual.
But he did commit the crimes, so he should
do the time.
Sure, he could get counseling first, then
go to prison, but there is no way a person
should be able to avoid punishment for such
horrendous crimes. Personally, crimes like
Dahmer's should be punished not by life
behind bars, but by the dea!h penalty.
.. With Jeffrey behind us, it is time to focus
on our old friend, Mike Tyson. As expected,
Mike was found guilty on all charges in In-
dianapolis last week.
Tyson could be locked up for
60
years, but
probably will serve only five to
10
years in
prison. The once-great career is, for the most
part, over and Mike will soon face life on
his own for the first time since he was in
refomi school.
If this defense is successful, then the ac-
cused will not spend any time in jail, but in- ·
stead be committed to a psychiatric clinic
where he or she will receive treatment for the
It is hard to believe that the best legal

.
The true beauty of this defense is that the
accused,
if
found to be "cured" by. the
medical experts (everyone laugh here), can
be
freed
in a few years without ever serving
. any prison time for the crime. This is the
wondrous American legal system at work.
This defense was particularly offensive in
the Dahmer case not just because of the
nature of the crimes, but because he confess-
ed his guilt before the trial ever began. The
only real issue to be decided during the trial
I'm surprised Mike didn't just stand up in
the courtroom and yell
"I did it, but she was
asking for it. They're always asking for it."
With great legal help like that, Mike is
lucky he didn't get the firing squad. Maybe,

New dorm project is a necessity for students
by
MICHELE LULEK
I
am
writing in reference to the
Editorial
in
the Feb.6,1992 issue of
The Circle entitled "Withering
Heights." The editorial seems to
question whether or not Marist
should dive into a multi-million
dollar project without any
guarantee of being able to cover
that kind of financial bet.
I can't see how Marist
can
afford
not to. The editorial states that a
new
residence
hall ultimately pays
for itself in self liquidating bonds.
The editorial also states that
Marist's enrollment numbers are
continually on the rise. I
recently
paid a visit to the Office of Institu-
tional Research and while data
about Marist's retention patterns
after 1986 is difficult to find, there
does not seem to be any indication
that Marist has had any serious
_
decline. In addition to that,
Marist's completion rate rose 17/
between the years 1980 to 1985.
These facts make the idea of a new
residence hall ideal.
·
There are approximately 360
students currently living in Canter-
bury apartments. I think it's safe
to assume a good percentage of
those students are disappointed in
their current housing and would
much rather be living on campus.
With the North Road houses be-
ing
torn down, that number is on-
ly bound to increase, thus making
even more students unhappy.
In a letter to the Editor, in the
Oct. 31, 1991 issue, Ser.da Arsla-
nyan expressed feelings of "aliena-
tion" and dissatisfaction with
Canterbury Apartments.
It
is true that the apartments are
bigger and yes, there is a lot more
freedom. However,
I
think Arsla-
nyan's statement about Canterbury
residents being !reated like "second

money.

A new on-campus housing pro-
Ject would eliminate the idea that
Canterbury residents are Marist's

One way to look at Marist, other
than an academic institution, is as
a business. If Marist pays approx-
imately $500 a month for rent on
a one bedroom Canterbury apart-
-
ment, assuming
that
Marist must
pay twelve months rent when there
are only students living in those
apartments seven out of those
twelve months, does that mean that
Marist loses about $2,500.00
a
year
on each one bedroom apartment?
To me, a student and a primary
stakeholder in this business, that is
wasted money that should have
gone to worthy causes such as im-
proving our library.
Good living conditions are an
essential to a student's well-being.
I firmly believe a new on-campus
residence hall is a sound and
necessary investment.

I disagree (although most would

college students more than sex,
more than drinking, more than
class work is money, and more im-
portantly, the lack thereof.

Tours: Welcollle to the real Marist
by
PETER TIMPONE
Staff Writer
Anne Ayotte couldn't figure out
why a mother in her admissions
tour group was turning red until
she turned around and saw a poster
of several different kinds of
vibrators hanging on the wall
behind her.
"I was very embarrassed," said
Ayotte, a junior from Sharon,
Mass. "I just turned around to the
group and started to talk about
how there is no real censorship at
Marist and you can hang anything
on your wall."
Ayotte is like 65 other students
at Marist who have had to deal
with embarassing situations while
giving guided tours of Marist's
campus to prospective students and
families about the alcohol policy
when the tour rounded a corner
and came across an empty case of
Michelob-Dry beer.
"I looked at the empty case and
thought to myself, think fast,"'said
Tilton. "So I turned around to the
group and said to them, see I told
you it was a dry campus."
Willie Tingle, a senior from
Matunuck, R.I., said he was giv-
ing a tour once when one of his
floormates came out and flashed
the group.
"He even had a cigar in his
mouth," said Tingle, who admit-
ted he was laughing and apologiz-
ing at the same time.
According to Mulqueen, one
reason the tour-guide program is so
successful is the friendly at-
mosphere created when students
show the campus.
Rachel Byrne, a senior from
Cheshire, Conn., was giving a tour
of the campus when someone ask-
ed to see the townhouses.
"Sure, you can come home with
me," said Byrne jokingly.
When she finished the tour,
around 35-40 people were follow-
ing her across the Lowell Thomas
parking lot towards her house, said
Byrne.
"My housemates were ready to
kill me because I could not get
them to leave," saidByrne.
Tom Cronin, a senior from the
Bronx,
N.Y., was giving a tour to
three families when one of the
fathers in the group took out a
video camera.
"At the end of the tour the guy
took out a 35mm camera and took
a picture of just me and then me
and his daughter," said Cronin.
their parents.
~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - . . _
The program, which incor-
porates students as tour guides, was
instituted five years ago by Harry
Wood, vice president for enroll-
ment and admissions, said Carol
Mulqueen, assistant to the director
of admissions.
If
students are with the program
Jong enough, they can receive
clothing with the Marist logo on it
and a priority point for each
semester they give tours, said
Mulqueen.
"There was no organized pro-
gram before," said Mulqueen.
"We just gave people a map of the
campus."
According to Mulqueen, tour
guides must be able to answer
students and parents questions
about the campus factually and
accurately.
Ayotte, however, is not the only
tour guide to find herself in an em-
barassing situation while giving a
tour.
Wendy Tilton, a senior from
Westfield, Mass., said she had been
talking to a group of six or seven

Spring sports teams to practice
during break for competitive edge
by
LISA CHMIELESKI
-Staff Writer
.
.
.
With less than
21
days before
spring break, college students are
finalizing their vacation plans, con-
firming hotel reservations and buy-
ing new swimsuits.
, Next month, thousands of col-
lege students will begin their wor-
ship of the sun, or ski the snowy
slopes around the country to
celebrate spring break.
For some Marist students,
however, there won't be a spring
break.
Spring semester athletes who
have devoted themselves to
lacrosse, baseball, softball and
crew will begin their competitive
season - meaning no spring break.
This year, spring break is March
14
to 22. During this time, the
various teams begin their morning
workouts, double-session practices
and hectic traveling schedules.

Last year, for example, the col-

contention between the administra-

the break to compete against
Mount St. Mary's and The Virginia
Military Institute.
The baseball and softball teams
will also be staying on campus to
train for their inaugural season.
Baseball Head Coach Art Smith
said, "We're cautiously optimistic
and we plan to be very com-
petitive."
Members of the team are very
excited to begin their season,
despite their tough workouts and
traveling schedule, he said.
Over the break, the baseball
team will be traveling to· North

Marist has had a balanced
budget every year since Murray
became president in
1979.
• The president said he is urging all
members of the Marist communi-
ty to write or call local and state
legislators in an effort to sway op-
position to Cuomo's proposals.
"It (the effort) does make a dif-
ference. Marist has been a model
for independent colleges and

For crew, spring break means

both on land and water.
Mary Bricker, a junior from
Bayshore,
N.Y.
and member of the
women's varsity crew said, "At
first our plans were to go to Florida
to train, but it is cheaper to stay in
Poughkeepsie and many could not
afford to fund the Florida trip."
Staying home will better prepare
the teams for the three races
scheduled home this season, she
said.
For the students, sacrificing their
spring break to train will in fact be
beneficial and rewarding, said John

Three-sport athlete adjusts to
hectic · schedule every season

is a saying which reads, "The
reasons for entering have nothing
to do with winning."
Twenty-one year-old junior Rob
Johnson often points to this saying
when explaining why he par-
ticipates in three varsity sports at
Marist
One constant in Johnson's
athletic career is distance.
A
member of the swim team,
Johnson swims the 500; 1,000 and
1,650 yard events.
When spring track starts, he will
run the 3,200 •and 5,000 yard
events, and during the f;:lll, he runs
cross country.
A communication arts major,
Johnson attended Pomperaug
High School in Southbury, Conn.,
where he was a member of the
swim team.
Johnson said he chose Marist
because of its communications
department and because the school
was smali enough so he could con-
tinue running and swimming at the
collegiate level.
"I was accepted to Syracuse
University, but I didn't go there
because
I
didn't want to be a water-
boy for their teams," said
Johnson.
In addition to participating in
three sports, Johnson has an on-
campus job and also finds enough
time to earn a 3.0 grade point
average.
"I
hate having nothing to do,
I
like being active," he said.
Swim practice and cross country
seasons conflict and that is when
Johnson doesn't get much time to
relax.
A typical practice schedule dur-
ing the fall consists of swimming
4,000 yards and then running seven
to eight miles for cross country, he
said.
Johnson said there are also times
when he will attend two swimming

"He is always up. He likes be-

Johnson does know when to take

also a member of the swim team.
Johnson's actions have drawn
praise from his swim coach.
"He is one of the most improv-

team," said Larry VanWagner,
head swim coach. "He gains a
great amount of respect because of
his work ethic."
Right now, Johnson and the rest

Ladies lose to Brooklyn;
host key NEC tilt tonight
by
J.W. STEWART
Staff Writer
After winning three straight
games and six of its last seven, the
women's basketball team dropped
two decisions in the past week, fall~
ing to fifth place in the Northeast
Conference.
Tonight, Marist will host St.
Francis (N.Y.) in an NEC battle.
The Red Foxes, 7-14 ovs~all and
5-5
in conference play, are•in fifth
place by themselves. However,
Marist is tied in the loss column
with third place teams Wagner and
Monmouth.
The women lost Monday night
to non-conference foe, Brooklyn
74-
71
and were defeated by Mt. St.
Mary's a week ago, 70-50.
_Prior to Monday's game,
Brooklyn had given Marist
headaches for the past two seasons.
The Red Foxes had not beaten
Brooklyn since 1988. As the first
half rolled along, it appeared as if
the Red Foxes were on the way to
rebounding after the loss to Mt. St.
Mary's.
Despite struggling early, the Red
Foxes hit stride in the latter part of
the first half, leading by 10 with
I :04 remaining before halftime
thanks to a Charlene Fields
three-pointer.
Marist led by eight at the break,
42-34, after Lisa Chmielewski beat
the buzzer with a putback off a re-
bound for her only points of the
night.
Whatever headache medicine
Marist took before the game wore
off in the second half as a McCann
Center crowd of 128 watched the
game turn ugly.
Leading again by ten, the Red
Foxes saw that lead begin to dwin-
dle. The officials'did not call many
fouls in the second half, much to
the ire of the Marist bench and the
crowd. To make matters worse, the
Red Foxes began to succumb to
Brooklyn's press.
The turning point came with 6:32
remaining in the contest. After
freshman Mary Lightner staked
Marist to a seven-point lead with
a baseline jumper and two foul
shots, sophomore defensive
specialist Cindy Carroll was whistl-
ed for a touch foul.
Marist Head Coach Ken
· Babineau vehemently objected to
the call and received a technical
foul.
.
Although Brooklyn made only
one foul shot, the Kingsmen retain-
ed possession of the basketball and
sharpshooter Donna Adams con-
nected for
a
three.
Soon after, Tiffany Ellzy drain-
ed one from the baseline to cut the
lead to one, 63-62 with 5:42 left.
Marist continued to hit its foul
shots down the stretch, but tur-
novers, a few no-calls, and a cou-
ple of big hoops from Brooklyn
center Marcy Kornegay sealed the
Foxes' fate.
After the game, Babineau was
quick to lay the blame on himself.
"l think the officials let them get
into a physical type of game, but
I
blame myself for getting a tech.
I
should've been able to compose
myself better," he said.
Marist placed five players in
double figures. Lightner and Car-
roll
each had 10, freshman phenom
Lori Keys accounted for 12, Fields
had 12 at the half but finished with
only 14 on 3-of-12 shooting and
senior Kris Collins ta\\ied 15 points
and eight rebounds.
Marist turned the ball over 23
times in the game, including
16
in
the second half, when the team had
trouble handling the press.
"They're a good team,"
Babineau said. "When they turn
up the heat down the stretch, they
become a much better team. We
knew if they could press us effec-
tively, we'd have a problem."
Marist had a problem holding
onto the ball last Thursday, as well,
as Mt. St. Mary's rolled to a 70-50
victory.
Marist again led at the half,
28-27,
behind Andrea Macey's
scoring surge late in the first half.
The freshman tallied six of her
eight points in the last
2: 14.
As the second half unfolded, the
Lady Mountaineers showed some
of the punch it used in knocking
out NEC front-runner
FDU
a few
nights before by outscoring Marist
43-22
in the half.

During the last four games, the men's hockey club has displayed
firepower -
and lots of it.
The Red Foxes, who have an overall record of 9-1-2, moved into first
place atop the Metropolitan Conference.
Marist, which has won seven consecutive games, has outscored its op-
ponents 52-6.
.
Last Sunday, Marist scored an impressive 11-3 victory over conference
foe Siena.
The Red Foxes jumped out to a 5-0 first-period lead and never looked
back.
Junior Scott Brown was the main offensive weapon for Marist, scor-
ing six goals and adding three assists.
Senior captain Scott Doyle added two goals and two assists and John
Walker also added two go;ils.
Freshman goalie Brad Kamp secured the victory for the Red Foxes
with 36 saves.
Brown said that increased work on fundamentals has been a key to
the team's success.
"We've been working on the power play," he said. "We came out
flying against Siena. We've been working real hard."
Marist scored four power play goals against Siena.
Assistant Coach Kevin Walsh said the whole team is beginning to play

"We~ejust starting to click," he said. "We are playing complete games
and really starting to put it together."
Despite the recent offensive outburst, Walsh said the team's defense
has been an instrumental part of the winning streak.
"Our defensive units have been playing solid enabling us to get some
good offensive chances. And, our goaltending has been fantastic."

It
has been three weeks since the
men's basketball team has played
a game in the James J. McCann
Recreation center.
Three long weeks.
The Red Foxes left the McCann
Center with a 7-11 mark. They
return after a grueling five-game
roadtrip with an record of 8-15,
while posting a 6-6 mark in the
Northeast Conference.
Tonight, Marist will open

Saturday, the Red Foxes will
host Long Island University.
Ceremonies for seniors Rod
Henderson and Tom Fitzsimons
will also be held Saturday.
Currently in fifth.place in the
NEC, the Red Foxes will conclude
their season on the road against
Wagner and Monmouth.
If
the Red Foxes finish the
regular season in the top four of the
conference, they will host a first-
round playoff game.
Head Coach Dave Magarity said
he knows his team controls its own
destiny.
. "This team is in the race,"'he
said. "We control our own destiny
and our main goal right now is to
finish in the top four and get a first-
round home· game.
"But, we have to.win these two
home games in order to put
ourselves in that position," he sai_d.
"I hope we understand the position
we are in and can focus on the next
two before we look ahead to
anything else."
Marist beat St. Francis and Long
Island on the road earlier this year.
Last Thursday, the Red Foxes
salvaged the grueling roadtrip with
a 96-,84 win over Mount St. Mary's
in Emmitsburg, Md.
Magarity said the win was
an
im-
portant ceie.
. "Having played well against
FDU (a one point loss) and Robert
Morris, it was important that we
came away with that win," he said.
The Red Foxes were led by
sophomore
forward
Izett
Buchanan who tied the school scor-
ing record with
45
points.
Buchanan, who has had the top
two individual outings.in the NEC
this seaioh with 45 ·and
36
points,
tied current Indiana...Pacers' star
and Marist grad Rik Smits;
"He ma.de outstanding plays, it
was a terrific individual perfor-
mance," said Magarity. "We kept
pushing the ball up the court and
he was really finishing strong."
. For Buchanan, it was another
sign of good things to come.
"He's shown flashes of
brilliance," said Magarity. "Now,
he. is showing them more often.
The big key with Izett is that he be
consistent.''
Originally, the sophomore from
nearby Goshen N
.Y.,
was credited
with 43 points, tying him for se-
cond place with Darryl Powell.
However, upon review of the
game film, Mount St. Mary's of-
ficials determined that Buchanan
had scored a basket which was
originally credited to Fitzsimons.
The two were fighting for the re-
bound and the ball was tipped in.
At first, it was unclear who should
be credited, but after the game, it
was discovered that Buchanan did
in fact tip the ball in the hoop.
Buchanan was not just a scorer
on this night, though. Besides hit-
ting 17 of 22 field ge>als, he also
pulled down a team-high
10
rebounds.
For his efforts, Buchanan was
named the Northeast Conference
Player of the Week .
Andy Lake, who seems to be on
a hot streak as of late, played a
solid game overall. The junior
tallied 22 points, four rebounds,
three assists and three steals.
Point-guard Dexter Dunbar.also
continued his fine play. Despite
turning the ball over six times, the
sophomore added 11 points, six re-
bounds, two steals and eight assists
-
most of which were to
Buchanan.

Like in any sport, defense is an
important element in hockey.
U.S. goaltender Ray LeBlanc has
been incredible in the net so far.
However, he can't keep doing it
himself.
In the American's 4-1 victory
over France Tuesday, LeBlanc
stopped more than 30 French shots
on goal - not the first time he has
done that in these games.
On
the flip side, the Americans
could muster only 13 shots on goal.
Granted, four of them were good,
but what happens if Ray LeBlanc
is playing for France? The United
