Five
years later, guard recalls husband's mur
er
by
DONNA SICLARI
Staff Writer
Betty Kayiira said she feels safer
being a security guard than being
protected by one.
"I had 10 bodyguards at one
time but I feel safer at the security
desk (in Lowell Thomas)," she
said. "I never enjoyed the political
life."
Kayiira, who now works as a
security guard in Lowell Thomas,
recounted her feelings about the
day in
1987
that changed her life
from a happily married wife, to
that of a widow.
Five years after the assassination
of her husband. Andrew, a political
leader of Uganda and a former
Marist professor, Kayiira said
Marist has helped her through her
difficult times and has become like
another family.
"Marist was therapeutic for me
then and it still is now," she said.
"There are people here with lots of
compassion."
Andrew
Kayiira,
who
taught
criminal justice at Marist in
1984
and
1985,
was killed during a
political upheaval in Uganda on
March 6,
1987
by
10
gunmen -
some dressed in military
uniforms.
Kayiira had returned to his
native Uganda to become minister
of energy in
1985
after the invita-
tion from the country's president,
Yoweri Museveni.
He was arrested in early October
1986
on a charge of treason and
held in awful conditions without a
trial for nearly four months before
his release in late February.
Kayiira was reportedly released
because of a lack of evidence but
was killed days later.
He was an advocate for a
democratic form of government in
Uganda and was probably
assassinated because political of-
ficials feared he would gain too
much power, his wife said.
Kayiira's death shook the Marist
community and left his widow on-
ly
one
place to return.
"It (Marist) was like a part of
what
Andrew left me," she said.
Kayiira,
who
is
now
38
and
whose six children range
·
from
12
to 22, said coping with the death
of her husband was traumatic but
the Marist community gave her
great support.
"The school took the trouble to
get me here,''. she said. "I've grown
with the
college
and I am very hap-
py."
With tears in her eyes,
Kayiira
describes
her
husband's brilliance
·and the important mark he made·
on his nation.
She said that he had a trusting
quality that drew people to follow
him.
Kayiira said that the Ugandan
people did not see what good he
could have done and their greed
and ignorance killed him.
"Andrew is a hero now
more
than he
was
alive,"
she said.
"Now, the people see what a great
man he was. It was a great loss to
the nation."
· She said that she too did not

work
he was doing and
only saw that his position was
dangerous.
"I guess I was selfish but
sometimes I just wanted a hus-
band,'' Kayiira said.

-
five years later, Kayiira
said she understands that her hus-
band's risky political lifestyle was
his calling and his death was not in
vain.
There are some people born to
do great things and Andrew
Kayiira was one of those people,
she said.
"When he first died, I only saw
it as a loss,''
Kayiira
said. "But,
now my eyes are open and I see the
great cause he died for."
The past five years have been
painful and she and her children

Chase serious and invisible in 'Memoirs'
By
BRIAN MCNELIS
Chase is very realistic.
Invisibility has always been
an
intriguing
idea and the subject of a number of films.
The darker side of this idea is once
again
the
subject of a new movie entitled "Memoirs
of an Invisible
Man,"

movies, the main character undergoes a
change by seeing himself through the eyes of
others. The role is not easy for someone in
Chase's predicament, but he pulls
it
off well.
His role represents a departure of sorts for
Mr. Chase.
Sam Neill is on hand as the evil govern-
ment agent relentlessly pursuing Chase
throughout the movie.
The film stars Chevy Cha_se and Daryl
Hannah with Chase playing the invisible man
of the title.
In the beginning of the film, Chase is
already invisible and he narrates the story in
flashback. He plays a corporate stockbroker
who lives a boring and mundane
life
with no
family to speak of.
This situation changes, though, when a
freak accident at a scientific laboratory
where he happens to be makes him invisible.
Soon he is
·
on the run from the government,
which wants to use him as a spy.
The rest of the film details his attempts to
dodge the government goons and find a cure
to his invisibility. Along the way he manages
to fall in love with Daryl Hannah.
The film's visual effects, which are its
Brian
McNelis
highlight, are excellent. Chase disappears,
literally and.very convincingly. Director John
Carpenter does not overdo the effects -
a
very wise move.
During most of the film Chase is visible.
He becomes invisible only when we are look-
ing at him through the eyes of another
character. One neat trick occurs when Chase
eats and the audience actually sees the inside
of his stomach - one of the film's funniest
moments.
Chase does an admirable job in the lead
role. He makes his character very sym-
pathetic and believable. Like so many recent
For anyone who is familiar with Chevy,
his usual work mainly consists of slapstick
and one-liners. He has become the master of
this style, as was proven by his box office
success with the "Vacation" pictures and the
first "Fletch."
In this film, though, he gets away from
this style and concentrates on his acting. Sur-
prisingly, this works well for him and he
seems comfortable with it. You will see his
usual clowning around, but not nearly as
often as you would expect.
As Chevy's. love interest, Daryl Hannah
has never been more beautiful than she is in
this film. She, too, does a good job with her
character -
especially when you consider
that she is acting with thin

her scenes. Her shock and bewilderment

The only problem with "Memoirs of an
Invisible Man" is that the plot is too slow.
It
takes too long to develop and just when
you think things are going to pick up,
something happens and things slow dqwn
again.
This happens throughout the movie as the
audience waits for some- thing to happen;
nine times out of ten the film doesn't deliver.
The excitement when things do start to
pick up is simply not there. It seems as if
everyone is just going through the paces, and
the element of spontaneity is definitely
lacking.
Overall, I give "Memoirs" high marks.
It
contains good performances and the effects
which are needed in a movie like this. The
plot could be more exciting and developed
better, but this does not detract too much
from the film as a whole.
Eight-year-old area movie star enjoys
the
life
by
MARC LIEPIS
It's not every afternoon that a
Marist student can claim to be
meeting a movie star ... much less in
our own back yard, Hyde Park,
N.Y.
.
Yet, Hyde Park native Joseph
Mazzello
indeed
is a star despite be-
ing only eight years old.
Mazzello has a new movie out
called "Radio Flyer." ln it, he
plays the gentle Bobby, a small boy
who is abused by his stepfather and
plans an escape with his older
brother,
Mikey, on the wings of
their homemade airplane, the
Radio Flyer (yes, it's made from a
wagon).
According to Mazzello, he
started his acting career because
"my sister was doing it,
so
I
wanted
to do it."
He said he plans to stay with ac-
t
ing
until it isn'
l
fun anymore.
But
does Mazzello do movies strictly
for fun?
"Well, no," he ans we red
sheepishly.
His father clarified saying, "He
(Joseph) likes show-BUSINESS."
And for Mazzello, movies are
becoming a kind of business. He
has appeared in the movie
"Presumed Innocent," as Wendell,
the boy whose mother put his head
in a vise and he also had a part in
the TY movie "Unspeakable
Acts."
"Radio Flyer," however, was his
favorite because "Lots of things
were really fun about it," he said.
"I got to do things I don't really
get to do in real life."
With such an atypical lifestyle,
however, Mazzello said he sees no
difference
in
the way he is treated
by his peers despite being a movie
star before reaching double digits.
Mazzello has met several famous
people, but his father - also nam-
ed Joseph Mazzello -
said the
eight-year-old star has trouble
remembering some of the names.
"I've met Tom Hanks and
what's his name ... " said the young
Mazzello. "Mel Gibson," added
his father.
After picking my jaw up, we
found out that Oscar nominee
Jodie Foster met Mazzello the'
other day because, according to
Mazzello's father, "she wanted to
see him because she liked him so
'Flyer' is fantasy ... or is it?
by
MARC LIEPIS
Imagination and fantasy are
some of the things that make our
childhoods
memorable and
magical. l question, however,
whether or not it belongs in a
movie about child abuse.
"Radio Flyer", the new film
from director Richard Donner
("Superman", "Lethal Weapons
1-3", "The Goonies" and more)
starts out promising enough with
an uncredited cameo by the ever-
charming ('•Bonfire of the Vanities
notwithstanding) Tom Hanks
reminiscing about his childhood,
and his brother, Bobby (played in
the flashbacks by Joseph Mazzello
strongly recurrent image in the
film) and beating up the sweet
young Bobby. He is called "The
King" and is rarely seen in full
view. He is always shot from a
"kids-eye-view" in shadows. This
effectively sets the King (Adam
Baldwin) up as a truly frightening
presence in the film, a real-life
monster, unlike the ones that
Mikey and Bobby dream up or
watch on TV.
The film follows the two actors
(who

The movie begins with the two
brothers' mother (played by Lor-
raine Bracco of the excellent
"GoodFellas" and the forgettable
"Medicine Man") going to Califor-
nia after their father has left them.
Hanks' youthful alter ego,
Mikey (Elijah Wood, whom some
may remember from Barry Levin-
son's "Avalon") and his younger
brother Bobby share funny
dialogue and portray a real loving
bond as brothers. They, with their
dog,
Shane,
are
totally
entertaining.
The emotional drama kicks into
high gear when Mom (Bracco)
meets a "wonderful" guy who
makes her feel great but spends
more time popping open beers (a
doesn't accomplish all its goals.
It
succeeds on the level of telling a
tale of nostalgia and the magic of
childhood, brotherly love, and the
true importance of a promise.
Evans and Donner also score
high marks on their portrayal of
the horrific true-to-life plotline of
child abuse.
This, however, takes us four-
fifths into the movie. Where Evans'
and Donner's "Flyer" crashes is in
the ending. For those of you inten-
ding to see this movie, I will do my
best to keep the ending a secret.
Donner, a most able-bodied
director, has been in the fantasy
business a bit too long and seems
to take the fantasy route when the
real one is far more appropriate.
The high-fantasy ending is
tempered by Tom Hanks' admoni-
tion, "History is in the mind of the
teller. The truth is in the telling."
The whole movie features voice-
over narration by Hanks. Figure
out the meaning of the statement
yourself. Suffice to say, however,
that half of the people I saw
"Flyer" with were unsure of
whether the ending was real or fan-
tasy. (I'm dying to be specific, but
for your sake, I won't. Somebody
get the violins!)
It just seems ·totally inap-
propriate to end on a pseudo-high
note and then start the credits with
a child abuse hotline number.
Which movie is it? I'm not
sure and
I
question
whether the general
public and children, who will un-
doubtedly be
attracted
to this
movie, will be
able
to tell the dif-
ference between the harsh and
emotionally-wrenching reality that
is child abuse and
the
fantasy
escape in "Radio Flyer".
All I ask for is balance. Is
'' Radio Flyer'' a look at a
dysfunc-
tional
family
and
the
way that the
brothers cope'! Is it about escaping
through fantasy? Is it just
nostalgia
with these big issues thrown in to
make it an ••important" film? I
don't have the answers, and unfor-
tunately, neither does "Radio
Flyer".
All of the performances,
specifically the two young brothers
(Wood and Mazzello), are outstan-
ding and affecting. The looks on
these boys faces in the wake of
the
violence of their stepfather will
touch you, as will the tearful gapd-
bye before the maiden voyage of
the Radio Flyer.
Performances and the charm of
the two boys aside, the ending
places "Radio Flyer" in the

According to Dominick Mazza, branch
administrator of the Mid-Hudson Savings
Bank, "The activity of the machine in Don-
nelly Hall has increased considerably and we
are aware of that, but unfortunately we
sometimes do not have the parts that need
to be replaced when it breaks down."
service on campus
by
JENN JOHANNESSEN
Senior Editor
It was Friday night, and Matt Bourne had
a hot date -
until
the
campus automated-
teller-machine spit his card out, defeating his
hopes for an exciting weekend.
Taking his card back in disgust, Bourne
stomped
back to his dorm, hoping his room-
mate w
'
ould have a few bucks he could bor-
row until the bank re-opened Monday.
"It's
kind of
like
a race to the A TMs on
Fridays to see who can get their money out
before all the money is gone," said Bourn~,
a freshman from Glendale, N.Y.
"You
feel
stranded without any money, and I don't
have a car so I can't get to another machine
easily when the ones on campus
breakdown.''
The ATMs that were at All Sport and St.
Francis Hospital were removed in August
and December of last year, which, according
to bank officials, was the result of "lack
of
use."
Since then, the on-campus A TMs, located
in Donnelly Hall and at the Bank of New
York, have seen a surge in use.
"When we had a machine at the St. Fran-
cis Hospital. we used to send students there
when our machine broke down at the bank,"
said Sue Maio, branch manager of the Bank
of New York. "The machine we have now
is obsolete.
It is difficult to get parts for it."
The managers of both baaks say that they
are doing
,
tht best
they
can.
"We load
up our machine (with money)
daily -
almost hourly," said Maio.
For security reasons, neither bank could
disclose how much cash is put into their
machines.
Disgruntled students said that the banks
are not doing enough, and that they can
almost predict when the machines aren't
working.
"Since I commute to campus, at
lunchtime
I eat at either the Dyson Cafe or Donnelly,
and when the
ATMs
are not working I
almost starve to death because I can't buy
anything," said Rillary Simon, a senior from
Fishkill, N.Y.
Some students suggested other possibilities
to improve campus banking- services, such
as putting new machines in Dyson and Cam-
pus Center.
''On Saturday nights I never have any cash
when I need
it,"
said Peter Timpone, a
senior from Woodstock, Vt. "I think they
should put another one in Campus Center,
and service them over the weekend."
Even with attempts to service the A TMs
regularly, both banks claim that there
is
a
lot more to an
A TM
than just putting money
into it.
Bad weather, telephone lines out of com-
mission, and cards that aren't from the bank
that owns the machine, are just a few.
"For example, during the Globetrotters
exhibition game a few weeks ago, the security
guards would not let our service team in to
fix the machine," said Mazza.
Vandalism
has also caused a number of
problems for both banks.
Mid-Hudson Savings Bank has a camera
monitoring transactions, and
is
looking to
"prosecute individuals who vandalize the
machine."
"In one instance the screen was punched
out of our machine and it took that much
longer to get it repaired," said Mazza.
-Keeping
the machines in working order
can only benefit both the banks and the
students.
"There's no sense in having the machine
if it's not reliable," said Mazza. "It's not do-
ing us any good if its not being serviced."
Although there are problems, there may
'
be relief in sight for students and their re-
jected ATM cardi.
This week, the Bank of New York expects
to receive a new state-of-the-art machin, antl
Maio said he hopes there will be no more
problems with the new machine.
"Mid-Hudson Savings Bank is committed
to keeping the machines serviced and
open
at all times," said Mazza.

New Marist program
studies area econoiny
by
FRANCIS CECATIELLO
Staff Writer
The collegt community, the
public, and businesses in the Hud-
son Valley will soon have access to
economic and demographic infor-
mation and analysis in the Hudson
Valley region from the Marist Col-
lege Bureau of Regional Economic
Research.
This bureau is part of a federal
program and is designed as a state
data center through a contract with
the New York State Department of
Economic Development.
Dr. Ann Davis, the program's
director, said she and the people in-
volved in the programare trying to
get a better picture of the economic
situation in this area.
"There's really no group of
economists who are trying to figure
out the structure of the economy of
this region," said Davis.
some threats on the horizon and we
want to understand how to build
on our strengths and maintain the
economy in the future
.
"
Another purpose of the project
is to figure out how Marist College
impacts
the
community
economically, said Dr. Gregory
Hamilton, an economist and facul-
ty member who is also working on
the program.
The program wants to find out
where students spend their money,
how much is spent, and on what
types of things, Hamilton said.
The program also wants to
analyze the impact of the entire
Marist College community, in-
cluding faculty and employees, on
the Mid-Hudson area, said
Hamilton
.
According to Hamilton, the pro-
ject is also trying to analyze trends
.
and patterns

the
local economy.
With the use of statistica\
analysis tec!migues, those in the
program want to see if the Hudson
Valley is going for or against state
and federal trends and how New
York City relates to the Hudson
Valley, said Hamiliton.
In addition to building and ex-
panding the economic knowledge
of this area, the program is also
concerned with the development
and preservation of the region's
unique economic resources, Davis

he added.
Marist employee hopes to
write, direct movie scripts
by
CARLA ANGELINI
Staff Writer
Along with the usual paper clips
and scissors one might find in a
typical desk drawer, you can expect
to see a copy of the script for
"Lethal Weapon" or the latest hit
movie or TV show in Janet
Lawler's desk.
With those scripts you may also
find some samples of her comedy
writing.
Lawler, a 1985 graduate of
Marist who is Marist's AV /TV
Operations Manager, said she has
always loved TV and movies.
Since she was 12 years old,
Lawler, a Hyde Park resident, said
she wanted to be a screen writer.
It was not screen plays that gave
Lawler her professional writing
credit, however, it was her comedy
writing.
After watching Joan Rivers as
the guest host on "The Tonight
Show", Lawler said she decided to
send Rivers some jokes
.
For each joke Rivers chose to
use, Lawler said she would then be
paid.
Lawler said she also sent jokes
to Rodney Dangerfield
.
Lawler recalls Dangerfield paid
for her and her mother to go to
Atlantic City to see him perform
and that he used two of her jokes
in the show.
"If
it gets a good laugh, it's a
great feeling. But if it
'
s a flop, you
want to crawl into the ground
,
"
Lawler.
Most comedians write their owri
jokes, but if they do buy a joke
i
t
is strictly theirs and the free-lancer
can't sell it to anyone else, Lawler
said.
,
Lawler is no longer writing for
comedy
.
"Writing a joke for Joan Rivers
isn't like writing the great
American novel, but it was a
start," said Lawler.
Now, despite her better luck with
comedy, Lawler said she likes
drama and spends an hour or two
a day writing scripts.
She said she watches shows like
the "Golden Girls" to get ideas and
then goes to work on a script for
a 30 minute show, which is 35
pages.
Looking to the future, Lawler
said she thinks about moving to
California because she said it helps
if you are working in the same
environment.
"A script that says L.A. is a lot
different than one that says
Poughkeepsie," said Lawler.
Lawler said she also gets ideas
from scripts of movies and TV
shows.
Her dream, she said, is to sell a
screen play and maybe direct a
movie.
Aside from script writing,
Lawler said she likes being at
Marist.
·
She is presently co-advisor to the
Marist TV Club and said she enjoys
working with students.
Since scripts are not guaranteed
to sell or pay a great deal, "You
need something else to pay the
bills," said Lawler.

on the economy of the region, said
Davis.
Stewart Airport, which has just
opened as a commercial and inter-
national airport, also will probably
continue to draw firms to set up
operations in the Mid-Hudson
area, said Davis.
Another factor the Marist Col-

cording to Davis.

program from the State Depart-
ment for Economic Development
and from the Federal Department

by
CAREY ALLABAND

An ad-hoc committee is working
at proposing a method that would
make the transferring process into
Marist less complicated and more
beneficial for incoming students.

The mandatory grade point average of a 3.0 needed for business ma-
jors to intern gives the student something to strive for and also acts as
a screening device so the Division of Management Studies can send out
their best students to intern, according to John Kelly, chairperson of
management studies.
"We believe that the internship should be an honor's situation," said
Kelly.
Kristen
Anderson,
a senior business major from Oxford, Conn., whose
gpa is 3.14, said she did not think this is fair.
This ad-hoc committee is com-
posed of Donna Berger ,executive
assistant to the vice president of
academic affairs, Carol Vari, direc-
tor of transfer admissions, Susan
Hamburger, associate registrar,
Eleanor Charwat, executive direc-
tor of the school of adult
education.
Fall 1991 Transfers
According
to
statistics
from the admissions office.
"There are many students who have learned a lot but don't have a
3.0 gpa," said Anderson. "This does not mean that they are not qualified
to function in an office."
According to the Center of Career Development and Field Experience,
there are currently 172 students interning from Marist; twenty-nine of
these students are business majors and
103
communication majors.
The committee is looking to
revise five areas in the transfer pro-
cess and they are credit evaluation,
registration, orientation, housing
and financial aid.
·
·
This revision, done as a result of
increased national interest in
transfer students at colleges and
universities, is part of a report call-
ed "Setting the National Agenda:
Academic Achievement and
Transfer," which is sponsored by
the
American Council on
Education.
The report has called for increas-
ing opportunities for transfer
students who are leaving two-year
i
nstitutions to attend four
-y
ear
schools.
In the 1991 fall semester,
138
students transferred into Marist
and in the
1992
spring semester,
there were 30 transfer students.
Fifty-six percent of fall transfer-
students left two-year inst
i
tutions
and
44
percent transferred from
four-year institutions, according to
Vari, who is also assistant director
of admissions.
One of the main areas the com-
mittee is working to improve is in
credit evaluation of transfers.
The committee hopes to put
together a program which would
look at a students entire academic
record at a previous institution in-
stead of a course-by -course evalua-
tion, said Berger.
A course-by-course evaluation
compares a course taken at another
institution to a similar course at
Marist and evaluates it to deter-
mine if the course credits are
transferable
.
This proposed program, would
allow those students who already
have an Associates Degree in
Science or Arts, to enter Marist as
juniors. ln the past
,
students have
lost credits in the transferring pro-
cess and have been forced to lose
a semester.
The committee is looking at a
policy that would resemble the New
York State University's system
which allows junior transfers from
two-year institution's to maintain
their junior-standing. These
transfers would also be eligible to
rece,ive a bachelor's degree in four
semesters while taking a full course
-load.
The committee is also looking to

it more flexible to students.
Under these improvements,
students would be able to register
for two to three
weeks
in June and
August, instead of the one day
allotted to them in these two
months.
On this day, students are
scheduled for half-hour scheduling
appointments.
The committee hopes to offer
more on-campus housing to
transfers. This past year,
99
percent
of transfers were housed in Canter-
bury Garden Apartments, accor-
ding to Vari
.
Transfers successfully lived in
Champagnat two years ago, but
because freshmen admissions in-
creased, transfers were moved to
Canterbury, said Vari.
In the area of financial aid, the
committee is considering setting up
a buffer for transfer students.
This buffer would allot funds to
transfer students only because, ac-
cording to Vari, college funds tend
•
to be depleated by freshmen before
students transfer into Marist.
Transfer students, for the first
time last semester, also received an
orientation program. In the past,
transfers came in the day before
classes and registered.
"The communication internship is not looked on as an honors pro•
gram," said Bob Norman, associate professor of communications.
The 2.5 gpa requirement for the Division of
Arts
and Letter is just
above the minimum of a 2.0 gpa set by other schools for their internship
programs, said Norman.
"We feel that with the academic credit the student is receiving from
the internship the gpa should be a 2.5," said Norman.
According to Brother Cornelius Russell, assistant professor of accoun•
ting and faculty advisor for interning business majors, the reasoning
behind the 3.0 gpa requirement is because the students are going out and
representing Marist College.
·
"Students should uphold the reputation of Marist," said Russell.
According to Russell, the policy is successful because the students are
well received at their internships and speak highly of the institutions they
worked for afterward.
Ryan McEntee, a senior business major from Breezy Point, N. Y
.
, said
that he went through the Division of Arts and Letters to get his intern-
ship because his
2. 7 gpa was too low for the Division of Management
Studies
.
"Marist doesn't take into consideration that students do other things,"
said McEntee
.
"I have a couple of different jobs as well as school work
.
"
According to Desmond Murray, assistant director of field expe
r

as far as he knows their has been no discussion in changing the requ

ment, but if a student wants the interns~p and does not have the grades
he can speak with Kelly about obtaining one.

0
gpa and has a legitimate reason for their poor grades then he can receive
a waiver allowing him to intern, said Kelly.
Communication students as well as other majors with gpa's below 2.5
·
are also allowed to apply for internships.
"I seek out the reason why the students gpa is below average from
their teachers and other sources," said Norman. "After this, I make a
judgment on gfving
'
tbem the waiver or not."
"Some students just don't qualify," said Murray. "I tell them to study
more and improve their grades."

After minutes of quiet thought,
she admits the hardest part since his
death has been the loneliness.
But, she believes that God has
prepared her for this.
She said there were many times
when Kayiira was alive and he was
away from the home because he
was so involved in the fight for
1
democracy in his country.
'
In fact, she said her faith in God
has also helped her through her
challenges in life.
She said she attributes her
positive outlook on life and her
cheerful personality as a gift God
gave her in her time of need.
"When I cried a lot, I started
seeking God but now I see that He
was seeking me," Kayiira said.
Although she has never lost the
love for her native Uganda, she is
still fearful to return there because
of the unsolved murder of her
husband.
She said there have been no con-
victions in Kayiira's death and so
she must continue to talk
·
about
Uganda's
government
with
sensitivity.
Kayiira said: "I remember and
long for the beautiful environment
in Uganda. But, I don't feel safe
there. I do not know who are my
enemies."
In 1990, Kayiira met with the
Ugandan president, Yoweri
Museveni,in the United States and
questioned him about his involve-
ment in her husband's murder.
While he did not deny being in-
volved with her husband's im-
prisonment, Museveni did not tell
her "the end of the story."
"l still hold him responsible,"
Kayiira said. "I've always had the
feeling that he
knew
what was go-
ing on."
Kayiira said she doesn't miss her
high profile lifestyle and finds her
job with security enriching because
it involves working in an academic
environment and interacting with
faculty and students.
Some students, especially inter-
national ones, often come to her
for advice or simply just to talk,
she said.
"When students leave my desk
happy, it is more than money for
me," Kayiira said.
Although she has no plans to
leave Marist, Kayiira cannot be cer-
tain of what lies ahead in her
future.
"From my past experiences, I
know my life can easily change,"
she said. "So, now I live day to
day."

what you say
Is the Meet Market the latest casualty
in the war of political correctness?
Tau Kappa Epsilon's Meet Market may or may not be dead.
The annual fund-raiser, involving the auctioning off of dates to the highest bidder, was cancell-
ed by the Council of Student Leaders because TKE allegedly failed to comply with its stipulations
·
that would have made the event more socially conscious.
The stipulations involved, among other things, including a personal biography of each student
auctioned, circulating literature on date rape awareness and requiring all dates to be held at an
on-campus function.
Supposedly, the fraternity, which last year raised $1,700 ,it the event, did not comply with all
the rules and as a result, the Meet Market was cancelled.
Some cheered, calling the event insensitive and offensive in the least, and racist and/or sexist
at worst.
Some jeered, defending the Meet Market as clean, college fun with no malicious intentions and
nobody getting hurt.
Yet, some people said they would be hurt. Some women said it was degrading. CSL said some
students were coerced into being auctioned off. And the Black Student Union said the event had
connotations of slavery, inappropriate during Black history month.
In America, a situation like this is not all that uncommon, especially on a college campus. The
First Amendment right to free speech is always being balanced against the fundamental rights not
to be bothered or infringed upon by another.
Lately, however, a weight called political correctness has tipped the scales in a manner against
the First Amendment.
Recently, in Berkeley, Calif., the name of the Columbus Day holiday was changed to All-
Indigenous day. After all, native americans were on this continent before any European. Of course,
some people protested, calling this change anti-Italian.
Some short people have taken to referring to themselves as vertically-challenged and a certain
liberal-arts women's college now spells "freshmen" as "freshmyn," to avoid having the m-e-n in
the word.
It's ironic. The First Amendment basically protects minority opinions. Think about it. The peo-
ple in the majority don't need protection because, well, they are in the majority. It's the voice who
stands alone and whispers something against the status quo that needs protection from the masses.
Today, many of the groups who are at the head of this move towards political correctness are,
in fact, minority groups -
the same people the First Amendment was designed to protect.
Part of this can be explained simply by understanding minority groups are involved more in the
political-correctness debate because they have more reason to be. For example, how many times
have you heard of a professional sports team named the "Atlanta Caucasians?"
Obviously, there is every reason to promote sensitivity and thoughtfulness, which often is lack-
ing especially when dealing with minority groups.
But heightening sensitivity at the expense of free speech and free expression isn't a wise trade.
No one will argue the Meet Market isn't insensitive.
Anybody could see how it is. While the Meet Market may qualify more as an action -
which
is different from speech -
cancelling, and, in effect, suffocating the Meet Market, not only is
dangerous, but it goes against the principles of higher education.
Benno Schmidt Jr, president of Yale University, said "A university ought to be the last place
where people are inhibited from expressing ignorance or even hate, so long as others are left free
to answer."
Is cancelling the Meet Market "inhibiting expression?" Perhaps.
• Is the changing of the name from the Meet Market to the Meet Marist Market - one of CSL's
stipulations -
an example of political correctness? Most likely.
Changing the name does not change the event and cancelling it because it connotes racism or
sexism won't stop racism and sexism.
However, one positive thing may be resulting from this situation.
The Meet Market can be used as a means to raise racial and sexual awareness. Meaningful discus-
sions have already arose and higher levels of thought have been provoked. This enlightenment is
what higher education is all about.
·
Yet, the idea of stifling expression or speech, whether or not it's offensive, is repulsive. And
there's a danger in getting so caught up in our politically correct world that we work ourselves
into a frenzy.
The danger of political correctness at Marist is simple. The student body, which is quite
homogenous already, may, upon entering the very heterogeneous world, fear what they say, will
somewhere, somehow offend somebody.
As a result, our students will exercise a form of self- censorship. The result: the liberties and
free-thinking ideals that come with free speech, not to mention a liberal arts education, suffocate
under self-restraint.
There's no crime in making people stop and think that what they say could affect or hurt so-
meone else, as is the case with the Meet Market. That should be common sense and common courtesy.
No, the danger isn't that people will stop and think; it's that they will stop thinking.
Races heat up
by
MARK
MARBLE
With one primary and one-and-a-half
caucuses already behind us, the Presidential
race is finally starting to get a little
interesting.
It
was getting a bit nauseating hearing
about Bill Clinton's sex life, not to mention
his old love letters to the draft board, every
single night on the news.
Now, with some real results in, the race
is once again worth taking a look at.
In New Hampshire, the Republican voters
sent George Bush a powerful message via the
old-fashioned "protest" vote. Bush chose to
do some campaigning up there, but never
bothered to address his rival, Pat Buchanan,
by name.
He decided to ignore Buchanan, as if he
were nothing more than a pesky mosquito,
and go on his merry way. The voters,
however, didn't ignore Buchanan and didn't
take too kindly to Bush's pompous attitude.
The voting turnout was, in effect, 47 per-
cent anti-Bush (37 percent Buchanan, 10
per-
cent others).
Pat Buchanan
will
not get the nomination,
nor does he really believe he will. He doesn't
have to. Buchanan's goal is to force George
Bush back to the more conservative right, or
else risk the defection of this conservative
block of voters to the Democrats in the Fall
election.
Buchanan, who is unfairly called anti-
semitic because he often takes anti-Israeli
positions, is setting himself up as a power-
broker at the Republican convention.
He is also getting great publicity and ex-
perience in case he wants to really seek the
nomination in 1996.
The most interesting thing about the
Republican race is the emergence of Dan
Quayle as something other than a joke for
the first time in four years. The Bush team
has finally figured out a significant role for
Quayle to play in the administration.
While George Bush avoids direct confron-
tation with Buchanan, Quayle, a legitimate
conservative, attacks Buchanan's policies.
Dan Quayle can get away with criticizing
Buchanan because he is, at heart, a conser-
vative with conservative interests in mind.
Quayle is also less likely to alienate this
valuable block of voters as a whole. Com-
pare this to Bush, who is currently on shaky
ground with the conservative- vote already.
Bush would have risked further alienation by
unleashing the same criticisms Quayle has
done. Keep up the good work, Dan.
The Democratic picture is as muddled as
everyone expected it to be.
C~nton's closet full of skeletons caused the
Arkansas governor to fall from first to se-
Thinking
Between
The
Lines
cond in the New Hampshire race. But he did
make a bit of a comeback by managing to
pull within 10 points of Paul Tsongas by the
times the polls closed.
Tsongas is a very lackluster·candidate, but
he is apparently also a sincere politician.
Great. Just what the Democrats need. I
thought they wanted to win the election this
time.
Tsongas' lack of personality, coupled with
the question of "Is he electable?" will pro-
bably spell ultimate defeat for the former
senator from Massachusetts.
This will leave the nomination for Big Bill
Clinton, assuming his closet of skeletons is
now cleaned out.
The lack of a clear front-runner also has
everyone wondering whether any other can-
didates will enter the race. Besides Mario
Cuomo (alld God, I don't want to say
anything else about him for a while), the
other candidate mentioned most is Lloyd
Bentsen from Texas.
Bentsen could be a good candidate because
he isn't a liberal.
If
he had been the nominee
in
1988 instead of his running mate, Michael
Dukakis, he might have won.
No matter though. The race will continue
to heat up in the next few weeks and
somewhere, somehow the Democrats will
find a nominee. (Maybe Walter Mondale's
available?)

Admissions 'on the
road'
Editor:
As the countdown to graduation begins,
I look back at my four years at Marist and
see a lot of good times, and a lot of great
experiences. One of the most memorable
learning experiences I had was my internship
with our own Admissions Office.
Along with the fifteen credits I received,
I had the opportunity to educate others, as
well as niyself, about the place I've called
home for the past four years.
Traveling extensively throughout the Nor-
theast, I talked about Marist with guidance
counselors, prospective students and their
families, and even to some alumni who just
wanted to catch up on what has been going
on here.
Not only did I meet with Admissions
counselors from all over the country, but I
made some strong friendships that
will last
me far beyond my career at Marist.
If
this type of experience sounds like
something that interests you, I definitely
recommend that you think seriously about
it. The three months you spend "on the
road" will teach you more than you ever im-
agined. It's a tremendous experience for
anyone in any major.
To get more information about the Ad-
missions Internship program, contact Carol
Mulqueen in Greystone, ext. 3226, or just
stop by the office. Also, on March 4 there
will be an Admissions Intern Information
Night, 7-8 p.m., in Dyson 110. We encourage
sophomores and juniors to attend. Hope to
see you there!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A tour by any name
Student input critical to evaluation of phone services
is not the same
Editor:
The Telecommunications staff
was disturbed by the article in
'
the
Feb.20, issue of The Circle. Mr.
Trupiano stated previously
unreported student concerns about
Student Telephone Services on
Marist campus.
Student Telephone Services
(STS) has been in existence since
August 1991, when students first
received teleph<Jlle service on
campus.
The initial STS policies and pro-
cedures were determined based on
information obtained from other
colleges with similar systems. The
staff in STS has since been observ-
ing, learning, and evaluating Stu-
dent Telephone Services, to fine
tune the telephone and billing
systems to best serve our
customers.
'Everlasting
memory of
Marist'
Editor:
I would like to take this oppor-
tunity to speak for all graduating
seniors: Thank you Kelly Lagan
and Bob Lynch for producing a
yearbook that I will actually be able
to take home with me when I leave
Poughkeepsie after graduation.
Throughout the Feb

article
written by
J.W.
Stewart, it was ob-
vious to see the hard work and
dedication Kelly Lagan, editor-in-
chief, had to produce a tangible
memory of our four years here.
Although I have not seen the
Reynard yet, there is no doubt in
my mind that through her efforts,
along with those of Bob Lynch,
this will be one of the best year-
books in Marist College history.
Hopefully, it will be an inspira
-
tion to the upcoming classes so that
they too will dedicate their time in
making an everlasting visible
memory of Marist.

For example, this semester we
raised the credit limit from $50 to
$100 to reduce the frequency of
necessary payments. We are also
planning to extend the payment
period from 8 days to 2 weeks.
Students' feedback and input are
critical in the continuing evaluation
of STS policies and procedures.
Norma, the Student Telephone Ser-
vices representative, is available as
the first level contact for students
to raise questions about the services
provided.
She is excellent at researching
those questions and concerns rais-
ed by the students. Norma really
cares about the students and pro-
viding- the best possible service to
the students. She
can
also
direct
the
students to the next levels of sup-
port to further research questions
and concerns. It is therefore, most
important for our customers to
come to or call Norma about any
questions or concerns.
Lastly, a remark on the accom-
panying photograph. We certainly
hope that the students at Marist
don't treat their Rolmphones as the
picture suggests.
It is provided to
enhance the quality of residence life
on Marist campus.
Always remember, anyone can
call x4357 for HELP or x4400 to
talk to Norma for assistance with
your telephone and/or long

'Giving in to environmentalists
a small price to pay'
Editor:
I would like to respond to the ar-
ticle about Settembre's by Amy
Crosby in the Jan. 30 1992, issue
of The Circle.
Since the four years that I have
been a student at Marist, I have
had numerous unpleasant ex-
periences with Sam Settembre and
his staff at Settembre's. There is
nothing worse than being greeted
by a frowning person in the food
business, it ruins your meal.
On almost every occasion that I
have been in Settembre's, I had
rarely seen a smile on the faces of
Sam and his wife.
If
you
can't
smile out of genuine goodness, at
least smile for the fact that you are
an owner of a gold mine, rich from
Marist students.
In the article Sam says that we
as consumers of his product,
should have respect for the fact
that "this (the pizza business) is
how he makes his livin . "
Well if Sam was so concerned
about his business, he may have
considered the requests of his main
customers (students) as more im-
portant. I do not think it is too
much to ask for Mr. Sam Settem-
bre to replace styrofoam products
with recyclable products
.
His excuse that it was "expen-
sive" to replace these products
needs to be reevaluated.
If
it
weren't for the location of Marist
College and its hungry students,
Settembre's would have filed
Chapter 11 a long time ago and
Sam and his family wouldn't be
able to afford closing the store over
the summer months.
Giving in to the requests of
Marist students, and any en-
virorunentalist for that matter, is a
small price to pay.

director of "Backtalk," has come to CSL with the
idea of having a State of the Campus Address
.
The Student Body President will have the oppor-
tunity to talk directly to students on important
issues. This is a great step in making you more
aware of what's going on in Student Government.
These shows air on Channel 12.
With the establishment of the SGA in April, it
will
reinforce this goal. This direct line of com-
munication is vital for our existence to serve you
better.
Every organization has different feedback
channels. Sometimes these channels are not us-
ed properly and the concerned voice falls on deaf
ears. As your student leaders, we are here to help
you.
We have seen that it's hard for students to
voice concerns. This year we have tried to
change the communication system so the feed-
back loop can function properly
.
"The Circle" is a vital concern of CSL. Not only
does it provide you with informative stories
relating to student issues, but it contains inter-
views with various CSL Representatives.
"The Circle" is important to student govern-
ment because it covers a wide variety of student
issues so students can become better informed.
Tha
student newspaper is our best communica-

"Tours: Welcome to the Real
Marist," printed in last week's Cir-
cle, detailed some of the more
outlandish experiences of Marist
tour guides. These included
witnessing embarrassing posters,
empty cans of beer and a flashing
episode. What if Marist really did
have a tour exposing the "real"
Marist? I imagine the beginning of
it would go a little some- thing like
this ...
"Welcome, high school seniors
and your parents. We at Marist are
happy that you show interest in our
school. The tour today starts at the
southern end of campus with the
McCann Center.''
"The McCann Center is home to
almost every sport imaginable. Yes,
we have basketball. No, Rik Smits
graduated.
If
you boys and girls are
lucky, you may receive an athletic
scholarship. This grants you upteen
pairs of free Reeboks and exempts
you from four years of classes."
"Come now, up the hill. These
buildings, Leo and Sheahan Halls,
are freshman dorms. Let's take a

Editor:
'Marist. .. the heights of apathy'
As I read the article by Michael
Dauerer, which responded to an
editorial by Wilson Briggs; a prison
irunate, I was again reminded on
how relieved I am to be graduating
in May. I am embarrassed for this
student and his willingness to sub-
ject the entire Marist community
to his blatant ignorance and
insensitivity.
I am surprised that through
reading the inmates one editorial,
without any prior knowledge of his
background, Dauerer was able to
make sweeping generalizations on
the inmates history and reason for
being incarcerated. Obviously,
Daverer has little to no idea for the
reasons behind the prison system
and rehabilitation .
•
However, through four years of
dealing with this type of ignorance,
I have no patience, interest or will-
ingness to educate an ineducable
detriment to our society. College is
a place for a mentally challengeable
person not mentally incapable. It
is good to know that Marist has
reached the heights of something,
too bad it is apathy.

THE CIRCLE, FEBRUARY 27

1992
Desmond
Murray
honored for volunteerism
by
APRIL M. AMONICA
Staff Writer
On Sunday, for the first time in
the eight years Desmond Murray
has Jived in Poughkeepsie, he said
he felt like he belonged.
"I really felt like
·
I was part of
the Poughkeepsie coininunity. I
always used to feel like an out-
sider," said Murray, assistant
director of field experience and af-
firmative action officer at Marist
College.
The Social Action Committee of
Poughkeepsie's Beulah Baptist
Church lauded Murray and nine
other community
leaders
at the
Fifth Annual Black Achievers
Awards this weekend.
"It
was the icing on the cake,"
said Murray of his award.
Murray, honored for his youth
incentive efforts, said it means a
great deal for his volunteerism to
be praised by the black community.
"It's important to recognize our
own and tell them we appreciate
their efforts," said Beulah Baptist
Church pastor, the Rev. Jesse
Bottoms.
Other black Dutchess County
achievers include: Paula Lynette
Bradley, Law Enforcement; Lillie
M.
Cooper, Personal Achieve-
ment; Joseph E. Davis, Politics;
Bishop Addie
B.
McClinton-
Watterson (deceased), Religion;
·
Joseph Nathan McRae, Education;
Rev.
Wallace Porter, Civil Rights;
Lorraine
M.
Roberts,
Education;
Thelma Usher, Youth Worker; and
Jim
Watts, Business.
Bottoms suggested the awards
idea to the IO-members of SAC,
one
of Beulah's volunteer auxiliary
groups.
"They ran with the idea," Bot-
toms said.
Recommendations from church
members and past achievers deter-
mine the winners who are then
awarded a plaque for their outstan-
ding community involvement, said
Sarluta Anderson-Davis, SAC
chairperson.
From the beginning, Murray was
considered a "shoe-in", said

Students react to
the
Tyson
trial
verdict
by
MARK STACKOW
Staff Writer
When former heavyweight
champion
of the world
Mike
Tyson
decided to join forces with
manager-promoter
Don King some
time ago, Larry Holmes, another
former champ, dubiously predicted
Tyson
would be dead or in jail
within five years.
It's four-and-a-half years and
one convicted rape charge later,
and
Mike
Tyson is on his way to
jail,
but no one knows for how
long until Judge Patricia Gifford
hands ~own
her
sentence
next
month.
Tyson was convicted
on
one
count rape and two counts of
deviate sexual conduct and could
face three to six years of
a
max-
imum
60
year sentence.
Most Marist
students are
treating
the case separately rather than
drawing large conclusions.
"Tyson was found guilty based
on evidence of the case, not
because they had to make up for
the Kennedy
decision,"
said
•
Kathleen Rhodes, a sophomore
from Providence, R.I.
"An article in Sports lllustrated
lµnted Tyson
was
going to be
found guilty because there was no
dancing or
moonlight,
and the at-
tack occured about 30 minutes
after they met," said Mark
Fragola, a freshman from Kill-
ingworth,
Conn. "Does this mean
that a dance would have changed
things?"
A group of ministers petitioned
to have Tyson's sentence
suspend-
ed because they said he means too
much to the black community, and
others are angered, as in the Hill-
Thomas trial, that a black woman
would go against a hard-working
black man.·
Marist students says it is less a
racial or economic issue than a
legal
one.
George Camacho, a junior
criminal justice major from
Hopewell Junction, N.Y., has no
interest in the trial's sideshows.
"It's ludicrous that anyone who
has a lot of money thinks he
can
get out of jail," said George
Camacho. "No one is above the
Jaw ...
Ironically, the Tyson trial deci-
sion came two
years
to the day that
Tyson suffered his worst boxing
defeat when.a 42-1 underdog nam-
ed James
Douglas
knocked him
out.
The
odd
fact is that Desiree
Washington feels pity for Tyson,
and said she would not have press-
ed charges if Tyson sought

college advancement and associate
pastor at Beulah.
Clarke, a former communica-
tions teacher at the State Universi-
ty of New Paltz, taught Murray in
one of his journalism classes ap-
proximately 15 years ago.
Even then Murray brought a
strong sense of conviction to any
position he held, Clarke said.
"He was never satisfied sitting in
the bleachers. He was most com-
fortable in leadership positions
which is a trait that carried over to
his adult and professional career,"
said Clarke.
Murray is also involved in Sim-
ba, an organization founded by
community professionals and
grassroots activists in Poughkeep-
sie. Simba orients black youths to
their culture and provides male
leaders for
kids
who come from
predominately female-headed
households, Murray said.
Every Saturday for the past year,
seven area men serve as role models
for Simba's 27 members, Murray
said.
"We do it because we care,"
Murray said. "We want to help
save
the
black culture and teach
these youths how to become men,"
he said.
Murray dedicated his award to
the late Alex Haley, author of
"Roots," at. Sunday's awards
ceremony.
"I want to thank him for bring-
ing the plight of our people to
television," Murray said at the
awards ceremony.
Murray said "Roots" had a
tremendous impact on society
because it attracted one of the
largest viewing audiences in televi-
sion history.
It showed the world that we all
have ethnic roots we need to
discover in orde'r to better unders-
tand ourselves and our fellow
members in society, Murray said.
Haley's television mini-series in-
spired Murray to take a greater in-
terest in his own family tree and
pass cultural information on to his
19-month and 5-year-old sons.
"Raising a family is my greatest
personal achievement," Murray
said.
Murray, born in the Bronx, first
came to the Mid-Hudson region as
a communications student at the
State University of New Paltz, he
said.
After working at "The Black
American" newspaper in New
York City, his first reporting job,
he moved on to a position at "The
Poughkeepsie Journal".
Murray is currently a member of
the Journal's advisory board on
multi-cultural affairs which sug-
gests ways local reporters can bet-
ter address minority issues.
"Our suggestions are taken
strongly," Murray said.
Murray also resides on the board
of directors for the Dutchess Men-
tal Health Association and
volunteers reading time at Samuel
Morse Elementary School in the
City of Poughkeepsie.
According to Murray, he has
always been involved in volunteer
work.
"We continue to do those things
in life that we enjoy. This is my
calling," Murray said.

WHY YOU SHOULD START PLANNING FOR
RETIREMENT WITH YOUR EYES CWSED.
F
or
retirement to be the time
of
your life, you
have to dream a little -about the things
you've always wanted
to
do: travel, explore,
start a business. Just imagine ...
With a dream and a plan, you can make it
happen. Your pension and Social Security
should provide a good
basic retirement income,
hut what about all those
extras that make your
dreams possible? You'll
probably need some
additional savings.
THE DREAM IS YOUR OWN.
WE CAN HELP YOU WITH THE
PLAN.
TIAA-CREF Supplemental Retirement
Annuities (SRAs), tax-deferred annuities for
people like you in education and research, are
a good way to save for retirement and save
on taxes now. SRAs are easy-you make con•
tributions through your institution before your
taxes are calculated, so you pay less tax now.
You pay no tax on
your SRA contributions
and earnings until you
receive them as income.
And
saving regularly
means your contribu-
tions and their earnings
Ii
can add up quickly.
What else makes SRAs
so special? A broad range
of allocation choices, from
the safety ofTIAA to the
investment accounts of
CREF's variable annuity;
no sales charges; a variety of ways to receive
income, including annuities, payments over a
fixed period, or cash. You may also he able to
borrow against your SRA accumulation
before you retire.*
All this, plus the top investment manage-
ment that has helped make TIAA-CREF the
largest retirement system in the country.
So start dreaming and planning for
the
time
of your life. Because the sooner you start your
SRA, the greater your savings and your retire-
ment will be.

~Ace'
bartender witnesses the many antics
of Marist and Culinary students at Skinner's
by
CHRISTINE URGOLA
Staff Writer
Every weekend upperclassmen
from Marist migrate to Skinner's
Bar and Restaurant on Route 9 to
meet friends
and
indulge in their
favorite drinks.
Behind the bar making these
drinks you will find
a man
every
customer
knows by name and face
-
Ken "Ace"
Peabody.
Well-known
by many Marist
students, Peabody has
been a
bartender at Skinner's
Bar for
about
five years.
Before
Skinner's,
Peabody
bartended for
five
years
at
other
bars
and drove a limo
twice
a
month
to make ends meet.
"I
enjoy
bartending because
I
meet
a
lot
of nice and different
types of people," said Peabody.
Amongst the crowded and
smoke-filled room Peabody can be
found talking with customers from
behind the bar as he hands them
pitchers of draft beer, and rapidly
mixes drinks such as Long Island
Iced Teas,
Sea
Breezes and Tequila
Sunrises.
Peabody, a resident of the City
of Poughkeepsie, said he has seen
some pretty funny things
on
the
weekends -
both
good
and
bad.
"A couple of years ago
on a
Sunday night two girls
started
to
strip right
on
top of the bar. I'll
never forget it," said
Peabody.
Besides seeing a lot of
crazy
things
Peabody said he has heard
an earful of
stories,
including a lot
of
gossip.
The most
common
stories
Peabody said he hears are those
V
concerning broken up relation-
ships, and what the distraught cou-
ple should do.
"I try not to give advice
on
pro-
blems, just guidance," said
Peabody. "I
do not
like getting in-
volved."
The best part
about
being behind
the bar according to
Peabody
is
that the owner
of Skinner's
gives
him
much freedom in
making
his
own decisions
when he's
behind
the
bar.
Peabody said he
meets new peo-
ple from
Marist and The
Culinary
Institute of
America every night
so
he never gets bored.
The worst part about barten-
ding, said Peabody,
is
when 15
drunk people are sitting at the bar
discussing their problems, listening
to
them and still having to
serve
them.
Peabody, who is also tne
manager of Skinner's, said that he
really likes the Marist students.
"The students at Marist are a lot
of fun to be with, and they are
always keeping me
laughing,"
said
Peabody.
Skinner's is a place where a per-
son in a three-piece suit and a per-
son in jeans can come and hang-out
together, said
Peabody.
"I make the bar an
extension
of
my living room and make ihe
customers feel relaxed," said
Peabody.
So, the next time you walk into
Skinner's, listen
for
Ace's voice
over
the
rumble of the crowd
and
the blaring
music, "what'll it be?"
No
comment was made on how
he got his
nickname "Ac::e."
"Not
even
my
mother
knows,"
said
Peabody.

Red Foxes win,
up NEC record
by
J.W. STEWART
Staff Writer
Kris Collins met up with some
old friends this past
weekend,·but
did not have much of a chance to
talk about old times.
Collins, the senior center for the
women's basketball team, battled
it out with Long Island Universi-
ty's
Belinda Strong and Cammie
Williams in a retmion of former
Mitchell College teammates on
Saturday.
Strong and Williams combined
for 30 points and 29 rebounds (22
alone from Strong) but Collins and
the Red Foxes had the last laugh
as
Marist fought its way to a 57,51
victory. Marist also won hist Thurs-
day· against St. Francis
(NY),
78-62.
After the game, Collins had ice
on her knees, a smile on her face
and said she had a few good
memories of playing against two
people who helped Mitchell win
back-to-back New England Junior
College Championships.
"At
first, it starts off as fun but
when it gets down to crunch time,
everyone just goes off," said Col-
lins, who finished with 14 points
and 11 boards. "Belinda and I
hammered each other down the
stretch.
It
just boils down to who
wants to win."
And Marist (7-5 in the Northeast
Conference, 8-15 overall) knew it
had to beat Long Island after los-
ing to the Blackbirds in Brooklyn
earlier this season.
The story for Marist in the first
half was not Collins, however. It
was fellow senior co-captain
Claudia Butler.
With Marist trailing 10-4 early,
Butler led a 16-3 blitz by
scoring
eight points on two layups, two
foul shots and a running one-
hander. When she was finished,
Marist had its biggest lead of the
half, 20-13 with 6:44 remaining.
"It
was a catfight," said a tired
Sutler. "That's usually not our
style. We wanted it and we were
ag-
gressive and that was the key. We
weren't going to come out and
lose."
The Red Foxes oniy led by one
at hl).lftime, 24-23, and that disap
0
peared
immediately
as LIU
(4-9
in
the NEC, 10-14 overall) scored the
first nine points of the second half
to lead again by eight.
Junior Charlene Fields, who on-
ly had two points through the first
20 minutes of play on l-of-3
shooting, caught fire
in
the last 20
minutes to give Marist the lead for
good down the stretch.
Fields knocked out a three-
pointer, a jumper and two foul
shots in the span of a minute to
finish with 16 and help seal the
comeback.
Marist Head Coach Ken
Babineau said he was pleased with
his team's inspired play.
_
.
"It
was a game we knew we
needed," he said. "All the baskets
we made down the stretch were big
buckets. The kids showed a lot of
heart and
a
lot of composure."
Marist made up for being
destroyed in the
rebounding
category, 51-35, by sinking
six
of
its last eight foul shots to provide
the final margin of victory.
Last Thursday, Marist was fac-
ed with the proposition of trying to
shut down St. Francis (NY) scor-
ing machine Clare Guerriero or just
Athletes of the Week
Hartman Jed Marist to a
second-place
finish at the
Metropolitan Conference Cham-
pionships with two record-
breaking performances. He won
the 200-yard backstroke in a time
of 1:52.77 which eclipsed his
school record and broke a con-
ference record. The senior also
finished second in the 400-yard
individual medley with a new
school best of 4:08.83.

out-gun her. The Red Foxes chose
the latter and dismantled the Ter-
riers, 78-62.
Guerriero scorched Marist for
29, but received no scoring support
from her teammates as the Terriers
remained at the bottom of the NEC
with a 0-13 record. St. Francis is
just 1-22 overall.
Marist gained the lead Jess than
three minutes into the ballgame and
never looked back. The Foxes us-
ed a 16-4 run in the last 10:22 of
the opening half to take a 38-20
halftime lead.
Freshman Mary Lightner-carried
the offensive load in the first half,
hitting three treys to accounting for
nine of her
10
first half points.
Marist's lead never dropped
below 12 in the second half, but
Babineau felt it necessary to call
three time outs and reorganize his
offense, which had been shooting
poorly.
Babineau switched from a
perimeter offense to a low-post of-
fense and the results were
instantaneous.
Freshman Lori Keys got on track
after Marist's second timeout and
scored six
straight
points in the
course of
55 seconds to keep the
Foxes flying.
·
Keys was quick to thank the per-
son who helped her to 17 points
and nine rebounds.
"The reason I scored so much
was Kris Cpllins' passing," she
said.
Fields and Lightner both finish-
ed with 13 and 'the final score look-
ed like a rout, but
Babineau
said
the scoreboard was not indicative
of the ballgame.
"We didn't play one of our bet-
ter games," he admitted. "We
made some mental mistakes and
were sloppy in the second half."
.
He added: "We might have
taken them too lightly. They play
a helter-skelter game
and
we got
dragged down to that level."
Keys said she agreed.
"I still think we made mistakes
we shouldn't have. We had too
many turnovers (25) to a team like
this," she said.
The women are on the road for
two games before returning home
next Thursday. Marist visits
Wagner tonight and Monmouth on
Saturday.
Minors may come to Beacon
by
ROBERT
LANIER
Staff Writer
Minor league baseball
in.
Dut-
chess County used to be a dream.
However, five businessmen have
taken steps to make that dream a
reality.
The sight is Beacon and the
possibility is strong.
The businessmen, including Dut-
chess County resident Pete Wyso,
are backing the idea which could
field a team as early as the 1994
season.
The plans were developed by the
five-man group last spring, but the
idea was
introduced
to Beacon
politicians in September.
Since September, Beacon has
organized several steering commit-
tees to investigate the financing of
the stadium, the area's zoning laws
and other facets of the operation
which will effect the city.
Beacon was the primary choice
of the group for several reasons.
The designated sight, Memorial
Park, is easily accessible to Route
9, Route 9D and Interstate 84.
Secondly,
Beacon and the sur-
rounding area creates a suitable en-
vironment for a minor league
baseball player, according to the
group.
Also, the team calling Beacon
home may be either a Mets or
Yankees farm club which would
provide railroad or motor access to
each teams professional stadiums.
Two other teams which have
been mentioned to call Beacon
home are the new expansion teams,
the Florida Marlins and the Col-
orado Rockies. The teams, which
have not begun competition, still
lack a farm club sight.
How realistic
is
this
idea?
'·'Very realistic," said
Bill
Leith,
a member of the coordinating com-
mittee. "These guys have done
their research and they are ready to
go."
If
the dream becomes a reality,
Dutchess County is expected
to
benefit greatly.
The stadium even creates the
possibility of the NCAA Baseball
Eastern Regionals
to
be played
in
there.
"The Regionals are
currently
played in Maine, which doesn't
always please the coaches from the
South,'; said Leith. "In talking
with an NCAA
representative,
the
sight would most definitely be con-
sidered for future Regional tour-
naments."
The new field is planned to
replace the present field in Beacon,
creating a
problem
for the Beacon
Baseball Leagues.
"The (Beacon) League would be
taken care of first, before the con-
struction of the stadium," Leith
said.

Mermen second
at championships
by
ANDREW HOLMLUND
Staff Writer
The men's swimming team finished
in second place this past weekend
at the
Metropolitan
Conference Championships in
Kings
Point,
N. Y.
Glassboro State, Marist's toughest opponent all season, won the event
by
compiling 1,062
points. Marist finished with 958.
Despite
finisb_ing
second, Marist broke six school records including
Brink Hartman'"s
1 :52.
77 seconds in the 200
-
yard backstroke.
The
senior
not only
shattered
his old mark by 4.6 seconds, but he also
became
tops
in
conference,
beating Rob McNalty's time of 1:55.58
seconds established
in 1989.
On the
first
day of the tournament, Chris Prauda led the Red Fox
charge by winning
the 50-yard freestyle while Hartman and Tom Bubel
finished
second and fourth, respectively, in the 200-yard individual
medley.
Day two
saw
Hartman and Bubel score high again, this time in the
400 individual medley. Hartman finished second while Bubel finished
fifth.
In the 100-yard breaststroke, freshman Ron Gagne nabbed a fifth-place
finish. Prauda and Brett Arnold placed second and fifth, respectively,
in the 100-yard backstroke.
Prauda garnered top honors in the 100-yard freestyle and Gagne com-
pleted the 200-yard breaststroke in fourth place.
Hartman followed with his record-breaking feat in the 200-yard
backstroke, and tea~mate Brett Arnold came in fifth.
Despite not repeating as champions, Head Coach Larry Van Wagner
said he was pleased with his team's performance - especially the first-
year swimmers.
·
"lt was very gratifying to see the freshmen respond so well this season,"
he said. "They have made incredible improvement since the beginning
of the season.
"Out of all 16 schools in the conference, our graduating class showed
the most improvement and had the greatest effect in the conference cham-
pionships the past four years," he said.

fall to LIU, drop to sixth

MIKE O'FARRELL
Sports Editor
With
just
two games
remaining
in the
regular
season, the men's
basketball
team is stiH fighting to
get
out of its mid-season slump.
The Red Foxes have lost seven of
their last eight games and have
dropped to a sixth-place tie with
Long Island University in the Nor-
theast Conference.
Marist has an overall mark of
8-17 while posting a 6-8 record in
conference
play.
Tonight, the Red Foxes travel to
Staten Island to due battle with
conference rival Wagner College.
Marist won the first meeting bet-
ween the two teams.
Last Saturday, the Marist skid
continued.
Long Island came north to
Poughkeepsie and spoiled the Red
Foxes' farewell party for team
manager Chris Bautista and players
Rod Henderson and Tom Fitz-
simons. The Blackbirds won 72-65.
The first time these two teams
met, Marist came away with a
103-85 victory.
However, Long Island Coach
Paul Lizzo said he did not want to
play another up-tempo game with
Marist.
"We didn't want to play their
style," he said. "I think Dave
(Marist Head. Coach Dave Magari-
ty) was a little surprised with that."
Magarity agreed.
"Yeah, I was surprised," the
sixth-year coach said. "We were
geared for a fast-paced game and
then we became to conservative of-
fensively."
Conservative or fast-paced, the
Red Foxes d1dn't shoot well
enough to win.
Marist connected on just 24 of
64 field goals and made only 12 of
22 free throws.
Rod Henderson and Andy Lake
combined to hit just three of 23
shots from the floor.
The Red Foxes, who have lost
eight games by four points or less,
once again showed their inability to
win a close game.
Trailing by seven points at the
half, Marist tied the game 51-51
with 5:39 remaining.
However, Long Island went on
a 10-3 run over the next four
minutes and for all intents and pur-
poses, the game was over.
A three-pointer by Tom Fitz-
simons brought the Red Foxes to
within two, 64-62 with 55 seconds
remaining but the Blackbirds made
eight of 10 free throws to seal the
victory.
"It was a lack of making plays,"
said Magarity. "Nobody stepped
up and that is a problem. We
haven't done what's necessary to
win the close ones - someone has
to step up.
"Right now, we are playing well
enough to lose close."
.
lzett Buchanan echoed the
coach's words.
"It
seems like we are playing
hard to be in it for the last five
minutes and then nobody is stepp-
ing up and making the big plays,"
the sophomore said.
"It
can be cor-
rected, it's just a matter of making
it happen."
Last Thursday, the Red Foxes
dropped yet another close game,
losing to St. Francis
(N.Y.)
69-66.
Although the Red Foxes did
come up empty in the final
minutes, the turning point. of this
game was in the first half.
After falling behind early, Marist
went on a 15-0 run to get right back
in the game.
However, when the run ended,
so did Marist's intensity in the first
half.
''They changed the game in the
last five minutes of the first half,"
Magarity said.
"We had intensity but then we
lost it after our run," said
Buchanan. "I'm not really sure
what the problem was."
"It
was a very methodical
game," said Magarity. "This team
has got to learn that they can't
make the same mental mistakes
and that there are going to be teams
that aren't going to run with you."
The Red Foxes end the regular
season Saturday at Monmouth.
Red
Foxes
lose 8-4;
streak halted
by
TED HOLMLUND
Staff Writer
The streak
is
halted at eight.
On S
_u
nday, the men's
hockey
club
was
defeated by Southern
Connecticut
State, 8-4.
Marist now has an overall
record
of
10-2-2.
Junior Scott Brown led the Red
Foxes attack with two goals.
Juniors
Mike
Flynn and Ed
Sherako chipped in with a goal
apiece to balance Marist's charge.
Head Coach Bob Mattice said
that one of the reasons the team did
not play well was due to the fact
that the team played a soft schedule
over the last five or six games and
was not prepared to play a tougher
Southern Connecticut squad.
"I don't like making any ex-
cuses, but the schedule we got is
ridiculous," he said. "We've suc-
cumbed to the level of the teams
we've played."
·
This year the Metropolitan Con-
ference changed the divisional
structure of the league.
Last year, teams were placed in
divisions based on their record
from the previous year.
This year, the teams division
p
_
lacement is determined by region
-
not by record.
Prior to the Southern Connec-
ticut game, Marist outscored their
opponents 64-8 winning four out of
those
five games by way of the mer-
cy rule.
The mercy rule comes into effect
when a team has a ten or more goal
lead after two periods or before the
end of the game.
Last Saturday, the Red Foxes
defeated Western Connecticut
State 12-2 by the mercy rule.
Junior Tom Schleif led the
Marist attack with three goals, not-
ching the hat trick, arid adding two
assists.
Juniors Sherako and Brown
chipped in with two goals apiece to
balance the Red Foxes charge.
Although Marist won, it lost the
services of .sophomore forward
John LLoyd.
LLoyd has a dislocated elbow
and is most likely out for the
season.
Mattice said that losing LLoyd
is really tough for the team.
"We've really got three guys in
the league that are superstars
(Brown, Walker, and LLoyd)," he
said. "The loss of any of these
three guys is devastating."
Cagers need to step up and win big games
Five weeks ago, the men's
basketball team was playing for
first place in the Northeast
Conference.
Five days ago, the men's basket-
ball team was playing for position
prior to the NEC post-season
tournament.
Tonight, the men's basketball
team will be playing for pride.
Throw out first place, throw out
fourth place. Heck, you can even
forget about seeing the Red Foxes
in
the Mccann Center again this
season.
_
Hold that thought, you may be
able to see Marist at home one
more time. (That is, if you really
wanted to.)
If
it loses its last two
games, the team may host the
pitiful play-in game against the
worst team in the conference.
Remember the day when Marist
had won seven of its last 10 games,
upping
its record to 7-10 overall?
Red Fox Fever was running wild
and thoughts of last year's 6-22
record were forgotten.
However, over its last eight
games, Marist has gone a dismal

Things just haven't been the
same since.
When this season is finally over,
the loss to FDU will be
remembered as the turning point of
the season -
the mental turning
point.
"We were in a position to have
a nice year and everything was
looking good and then all of a sud-
den FDU hits," said Head Coach
Dave Magarity. "That game has
had a lasting effect
on
us. There is
no question this has become
a men-
tal thing."
What would
happen after that
game
would
determine
the
character of
this
team.
MIKE O'FARRELL
Good teams are able to turn a
devastating loss into something
positive.
Bad teams never forget them.
Close games are nothing new for
the Red Foxes. Afterall, Marist has
played eight games that were decid-
ed by four points or less.
The difference between a good
team and a bad team?
Marist is 0-8 in those games.
Maybe "bad" is the wrong
word. Maybe not.
Magarity put
it best.
"We are playing
well
enough to
lose close,"
he
said.
.
The excuse of being an inex-
perienced team or losing Fred In-
gles at the beginning of the year
just doesn't cut it anymore.
Sure, Ingles went down with a
season-ending injury,
but it was
after he was sidelined that the team
went on its winning streak.
Sure, Izett Buchanan and Dex-
ter Dunbar are only sophomores,
but each has played in over 50 Divi-
sion I games.
This team doesn't need one per-
son to step up, it needs everyone to
step up.
It is not
as
if Marist has no
chance in
the NEC
tournament.
That just isn't true.
The
Red
Foxes have shown they
can play with anyone in the Nor-
theast
Conference -
especially if
they play
on
the road.
Marist has
a
3-3 NEC road
record while posting a 3-5 con-
ference mark in the Mccann
Center.
However, without proving to
the
rest of the league - and more im-
portantly to themselves -
that it
can win the big game, this team is
going nowhere.
Until this team realizes it must
play a complete game to win the
championship, the only way it will

after 35 minutes.
One way for Marist to solve its
problem is by scheduling Prairie
View.
Then again, forget it, too much
pressure to win.
