related to the missing funds.
Both he and Chief Finance Officer Anthony Campilii confirmed tha
as of la,st fall approximately $6,000 in revenue was missing from the na
tional debate camp's budget.
Springston has agreed to reimburse the college for the missing funds
Springston insisted
"it
was my decision to resign; there was no pressun
whatsoever." However, one student on the debate team said Springstor
indicated privately to team members that the college's concerns abou
the camp's finances played a key role in his decision to leave.
Campilii said that once the audit was concluded, administrators notifiec
the Board of Trustees, and it was decided to seek a resolution that woulc
not harm the students or the debate program.
Springston, who has coached Marist for seven years and won four na-
tional championships, said an agreement was reached where a portior
of his salary would be garnished to replace

the missing funds.
Campilii said he is satisfied with the terms of the agreement.
"There will be no loss to Marist College, the students or the program,'
.
he said.
"If
there were, I'd have sought prosecution."
President Dennis J. Murray declined comment on the resignation.
"It
would be inappropriate for me to comment on personnel matters,"

said.

Salary cut
for Murray;

by
S.J. RICHARD
Assistant Editor
Faculty and administrators'
salaries remained higher than na-
tional averages while President
Dennis J. Murray received a
7
per-
cent pay-cut, according to Marist's
most recent Internal Revenue Ser-
vice forms and statistics provided
by the American Association of
University Professors.
Despite the cut, Murray earned
$170,500
for the 1990-91 fiscal year
-
196
percent above the national
average -
according to the IRS
Form 990 and data provided by the
College and University Personnel
Association.
Murray's salary is set by a com-
mittee and a consultant from a na-
tional firm which reviews his per-
.. formance every year and is schedul-
ed to vary from year to year.
"I
don't set my own salary,"
said Murray.
His salary was scheduled to
decrease this year and will remain
the same next year,. said Murray.

Questions of fairness shadow tenure system
by
J.W. STEWART
and JENN JOHANNESSEN
Marguerite Hefferon has a new baby and
two other young children to take care of but
will lose her job on May
8.
She is not part of the massive layoffs in
the auto industry or the downsizing at IBM.
Instead, she
is
an
English professor at Marist
-
at least for now.
Hefferon, who has been at Marist for six
years,
is
but one of thousands of college pro-
fessors across the country who has been
denied tenure.
Tenure is a topic that can divide a college
community.
On
one side are those who
see
it
as
fundamental to the protection of
academic freedom. On the other side are
those who claim the system is inherently
flawed -
penalizing junior faculty and
allowing prejudice to dictate who gets tenure
and who doesn't.
"The tenure system does not tenure peo-
ple by their
worth.
They (those who control
the tenure system) know
ahead
of lime
whether they want you or not. Frankly,
I
feel
that is what happened to me. They didn't
want to marry me,"
said
Hefferon, who was
given a
year
to find
a
new job after being
denied tenure last May.
Of the 147 professors at Marist, half have
tenure, according to Marc vanderHeyden,
vice president for academic affairs.
For Hefferon, the denial of tenure means
no lifetime job security and no academic
freedom -
the driving force behind the
American tenure system.
Unfortunately for professors like Hef-
feron, her opinion
is
still the minority, ac-
cording to recent articles in The Chronicle
of Higher Education and other scholarly
journals. Most college professors and ad-
ministrators do like the tenure system, even
though it may rob a university of talented
teachers. Marist is no e:itception.
"Tenure e:itists to allow the teacher
freedom in the classroom," said Howard
Goldman, chairperson of the
Rank
and
Tenure Committee. "'It protects the teacher
and allows
the
free exchange
of
ideas
without
censorship. It's
worked
for
Marist
College."
"It's absolutely good for Marist," said
Vincent Toscano, associate professor of
history and a
former
member of the Rank
and Tenure Committee. "Tenure is an enor-
mous benefit to the academic community
because it provides protection for a pro-
fessor's unpopular viewpoint."
The tenure system used by Marist and the
majority of the schools across the United
States confonns to guidelines set by the
American Association of University
Pro-
fessors in 1940, said Toscano.
According to the guidelines, a fuil-time
college professor is eligible for tenure follow-
ing six years of
service.
At Marist, tenure is
granted or denied on the basis of
service
to
the college, teaching, service to the communi-
ty and professional development, which in-
cludes publishing research, according to
vanderHeyden.
If,
in the eyes of the
Rank
and Tenure
Committee, these criteria are not adequate-
ly fulfilled, tenure
can
be denied. Once
tenure
is
granted, a professor
can
only
be
dismissed for
a
dereliction of duties, said
Toscano.
Last year, nine junior faculty members
were eligible for tenure, said Goldman. Three
were granted tenure, three dropped out of
the tenure process before it was completed
and three were denied tenure.
Among the three denied were Hefferon
and colleague Eleanor Montero, the direc-
tor the Writing Program.
Both considered popular teachers by their
students, their dismissals have caused an
uproar in the English department and rais-
ed questions over the fairness of the tenure
system.
"The reason Eleanor and I were denied
tenure was because of our department," said
Hefferon. "There were two people in our
department who didn't want us tenured but
the Rank and Tenure Committee seemed
bound to abide by the old guard in the
department. It
was
a very personal deci~io~;
I
didn't think that would go on at Manst.
Montero also said she
was
denied tenure
because
of internal problems in the small
English department.

Murray also said that the reason
Marist salaries are higher is because
the quality of the faculty is above
average.
After Murray the highest-paid
Marist administrators were as
follows, according to the IRS
forms:
-
Mark Sullivan, executive vice
president, earned $101,820 last
year, 6.3 percent more than the
previous year. The average salary
for executive vice presidents at bac-
calaureate institutions similar to
Marist last year was $63,097, accor-
ding to CUPA surveys.
- Marc A. vanderHeyden, vice
president of academic affairs, earn-
ed $86,798 last year, a
5.6
percent
increase over the preceding year.
Chief academic officers at bac-
calaureate institutions earned an
average of $65,280, according to
the CUP A surveys.
-
Harry Wood, vice president
of admissions and enrollment plan-
ning, earned $77,886, 4 percent
more than the previous year. Na-
tionally at colleges similar to
Marist, Chief admissions officers
earn about $40,868.
Also listed in the IRS document
are Mari st 's top five paid
employees who are not officers of
the college:
- Donald Calista, associate pro-
fessor of public administration/
director
M.P .A. program, was the
highest paid faculty member earn-

Marist also spent $157,701 on

"Clients are sometimes apprehensive
about my abilities because they think I'm too
young, but when they look at my resume and
see that I was valedictorian, some of their

Maureen O'Rourke, first in her class in
1985, says that she's not sure if she would
have gotten into Yale Law School if she
hadn't been valedictorian.
After graduating, O'Rourke worked at
IBM in the accounting department for two
years, and then decided to go to Jaw school.
She graduated from Yale in May 1990.
O'Rourke now works in the legal depart-
ment at IBM Poughkeepsie, and teaches
Business Law 11 at Marist.
When she was first asked to be valedic-
torian, O'Rourke says she was very

.
"I wasn't sure if I wanted to do it,"
O'Rourke said. "I was a commuter and
nobody knew who I was. I look back now
and I'm glad I did

Lisa King Sonpar, 1984 valedictorian, says
that she has never been asked about bein~

it doesn't matter whether you're first or fifth.
Sonpar, after graduating. went on to
Rensselaer Polytechnical Institute, in Troy,
N.Y.,
to get her master's in computers. In
May 1986, she took a job at Anderson Con-
suiting, a management information con-
sulting group.
She is currently the second vice president
of technology audit services at Chase
Manhattan Bank in New York City.
Heidi Klein, valedictorian of 1988, says
that although being valedictorian did not
directly help her in finding a job after
graduation because she already had one lin-
ed up, it did give her confidence and self•
esteem that has helped in her work.
Klein works as a programmer on main-
frame computers at IBM.
Being valedictorian made Kimberly Knox,
class of 1990, feel like a celebrity for the day.
"It was an exciting, nerve-racking, cold
and windy day, but everyone knew me and
everyone seemed to want to gh·e me advice,"
Knox
says.

While tenured faculty members
have immunity from any type of

their mouths shut.
"Someone in Rank and Tenure

outspoken, self-assured young
woman and some people don't like

,
" recalled Hefferon, who was
very vocal over the closing of the
Marist Preschool in December and
the low junior faculty salaries.
.
"l felt secure enough in my posi~
lion to open my mouth but it was
probably not a wise idea," she
added.
Tenured faculty members said
they often tell their non-tenured
peers the same thing
.
"The last thing in the world you
want to do is criticize your
chairperson if you are untenured,"
revealed John Scileppi, professor
of psychology and a member of the
Rank and Tenure Committee
.
Hefferon said if she could do it
all over again, she would be careful
to play the game by the rules.
"Just keep your mouth shut and

kiss up," she said
.

Toscano.
_
"The chairpersons have
not helped as much as they should
have in guiding non
-
tenured pro-
fessors along. They (the non-
tenured professors) don't have a
clear direction
.
"
"Those who
·
went up for tenure
did not know the rules of the
game," pointed out Daniel Okada,
professor of criminal justice and a
member of the Faculty Grievance
Committee. "In the past year, the
rules have changed and no one has
delineated explicitly the new rules.
And until the process is clearly
defined, the tenure process will be
perceived as categoricallv unfair.''
Montero said she is hopeful
future r~visions will make the pro-
~e~s e~s1er and prevent "the graw:
mJus11ce that has been done tom!
and to others."
At 54, she said she has no plans
to seek another job.
"There appears to be nothing
left on the horizon now but
unemployment checks," she
lamented.
As for her colleague, Hefferon
said she is content to stay at home

account) which we asked him to ex-
plain," Campilii said.
Springston told The Circle the
money was used for "expenditures
that dealt with
.
the camp."
However, when asked what these
expenditures were, he said, "l just
don't know."
"My
feeling is if they (college of-
ficials) want to assume I'm a lousy
accountant, from their standpoint
I
understand. But that's not ac-
curate from my standpoint,"
Springston said.
"I
don't know of
any debate coach who sees eye-to-
eye with a chief finance officer.''
Campilii said after the camp end-
ed, the college originally had con-
sidered replacing some of the miss-
ing money with funds from the
<lehate
team's budget.
But, he said, it was determined
that "students were the only ones
who were going to get hurt" by
that solution.
.
Springston's term as coach was
highly successful.
"The re~ord speaks for itself,"
Murray said.

Having achieved the last of those
goals this year, Springston said, he

attended junior
high sch?ol. He said he eventually
would hke to become a debate
coach at a large university.
Despite the visible successes in-
terviews with past and present t~m
members portray a program mar-
red at times by interpersonal pro-
blems between Springston and
team members.
Students, who asked not to be
identified, characterized being a
debate team member as bittersweet
-
rewarding but often frustrating .
Springston's managerial style also
was described as "manipulative
and unpredictable."
"Debate isn't like other sports
where you can just hang up your
equipment at the end of the day,"
said Marc Liepis, former debate
team member. "In debate, your
equipment is inside your head and
it gives the coach a exorbitant
amount of manipulative potential.
-
"The way he (Springston) plays
team members against each other
erodes the emotional support
system within the team," said
Liepis, who was a nationally rank-
ed debater before quitting last fall.
"No doubt he was manipulative
-
everything was. From holding
scholarships over the heads of
freshmen to just trying to be on his
'good' list," said
Mike
Buckley, a
1990
graduate and former team
captain.
Springston said he could unders-
tand why
some
students see him
as
manipulative, but that part of be-
ing a debate coach meant
motivating
each
student
independently.
"I've coached more years than
they (the students) have been
alive," Springston said. At times
he said,
"l
get a lot of cri1icis~
from those who think they know it
all.''
Co~plaints
concerning
favonusm, unpredictability and
sexism
all
arose
during
Springslon·s
term,
pa~I and present
team members said.
. Buckley, who currently
is
s1udy-
m~ speech communications at
California State Universitv at Nor-
thridge, said: "There was
a
fa\"Orite
system.
The
measurement deter-
mining whether you were in good
or
.
bad graces would change in a
heartbeat."
A current member of the team
agreed.
"One week being a good debater
meant how well you performed.
The next week it depended on how
much he liked you," a team
member said.
The perks of being a "favorite,"
according to past and present team
members, ranged from getting to
travel to certain debates and
sightseeing, to just being heavily
praised at team meetings
.
After last summer's camp con-
cluded, Springston and a debate
team member traveled to Florida
for a vacation.
Springston said both he and the
student separately paid for their
own trip.
·
However, the student -
who
spoke under terms of anonymity -
said it was Springston who financ-
ed
_
both persons' travel expenses.
"He paid for me," the student
said
.
The trip reportedly was to Key
West, Orlando and other parts of
Florida.
Dumont, from Wakefield,
Mass., said she often felt the
females on the team were treated
like second-class citizens.
For instance, she said, when a
male/female team lost, Springston
·
would blame the loss more on the
female than the male.
Others said females rarely were
treated as "favorites."
Springston, who currently is
working on his doctoral disserta-
tion on sexism in academic debate,
said debate is a predominantly
white
,
male activity and since he
has been involved in it for most of
his life, he may sometimes reflect
that point of view.
But Springston, who has coach-
ed four female national champions
at Marist, called sexism in debate
unjustifiable. "My reputation as a
coach depends on whether we win
.
or lose. I want to win. That's why
I tell them
'
(the
'
'
female
team
-
members), if you catch me, please
tell me," he said.
Springston vehemently denied
that he made personnel decisions
based on favoritism.
"It
would be stupid, incredibly
stupid, for me to do that," he said.
Springston said all coaches have
to make decisions based on perfor-
mance and potential for the good
of the team - even if they may be
unpopular with some individuals.
Buckley categorized Springston
as a "Bobby Knight-type coach -
he expected results and he got
results."
Springston agreed: '
-
'Oh yes,
I
very, very much identify with Bob-
by Knight
.
I
have the same motiva•
tional techniques which I use to get
,
the most out of debating
.
"
Knight, head basketball coach of
Indiana University, often
is
characterized by past and present
players as demanding -
a style
that has made his program one of
the nation's most successful.
Despite some students' com-
plaints, others acknowledge
Springston's methods have paid
off.
"Jim Springston and debate
have done a lot for me," said
junior Captain Greg Maxim. "I've
had a phenomenal deal of success
.
I
owe him a lot.''
"I
don't regret debate at all.
Without it,
I
never could have
developed to my full potential.
Debate has opened many doors for
me," said Kavan, who has receiv-
ed scholarship offers
to
do
graduate work in organizational
communications next year from
several universities.
For other students, however, the
success has come with a price.
"The things I've learned are
priceless and I've made some of the
closest friends, but the emotional
turmoil makes it not worth it," said
Dumont.
"O\"erall, debate was a good ex·
perience," said Buckley, "but it
could have been better. I think all
the interpersonal stuff in the long
run ended up detcrioratin2 from
the value of the experience for
me."

Can You Go Home Again?
No ... time to get married
Yes ... but it's not easy
by
JENNIFER HEEKIN
Staff Writer
While many graduating seniors
are thinking about graduate school,
jobs and Marist memories, others
are wondering about china pat-
terns, living room furniture and
wedding invitations.
"Most of my friends are looking
into jobs and graduate schools, and
I'm going off to get married," said
Andrew Moraitis, a 21-year-old
senior from Hyde Park, N.Y ..
Highland,
N.Y.,
proposed to her.
The engagement surprise occur-
red when Flanagan was celebrating
her 22nd birthday on Thursday,
April 16.
Instead of having the words
"Happy Birthday" on her cake,
Miller had "Marry Me" printed on
it, and the engagement ring was
presented along with the cake.
Michael J. Prout said he made
the decision to propose to his fiance
before graduation for his own
special reasons.
. "I

«Most
of
my
friends are looking into jobs and
graduate schools and I'm going off to get married. "
"It's strange because not many
people are thinking about that -
they usually think about it later."
Moraitas and a few of his
classmates
are
presently engaged to
be married, and although it seems
strange to be engaged before
graduation to some people, these
Marist seniors have their special
reasons.
Peggy Parker, 23, a communica-
tion arts major from Fishkill,
N.Y
.
, said she had no choice in the
matter.
Shawn Thom, Parker's 25-year-
old fiance, surprised her on Easter
Sunday when he hid an engagement
ring in a plastic egg inside her
Easter basket.
"I
had hoped our engagement
would be before graduation, but it
was a surprise on Easter Sunday,"
Parker said.
Megan Flanagan, 22, from
Queens, N.Y., was also surprised
when Steve Miller, 24, of
or she would have expected it,"
said Prout, 21, from Maplewood,
N.J ..
"I
didn't want to loose the
element of surprise
.
''
However, Moraitis' story has a
bit of a twist to other engagements
.
He met his bride-to-be, Emma
Bishop, 21, from Bristol, England,
while studying at York University
last year. -
Unlike Moriatis' wedding which

away, his

For Peter Jeram, going home
after graduation means having no
kegs in the living room and no bar
in the family room.
"I am not very happy about it
at all," said Jeram, a senior from
Delmar, N. Y. "I live with five guys
right now, and
I
am going home to
live with two sisters, a brother and
my parents."
Because of the sagging economy
and an increase in the cost of liv-
ing, many" Marist seniors will be
saying good-bye to all-nighters and
Jazy days, and will join the increas-
ing number of college graduates
returning home.
"I
won't have to pay rent
though
,
" said Jeram. "That's the
only plus."
Ina Mendez, a senior from
Glastonbury, Conn., also said it
felt good to know she would be liv-
ing rent-free.
"l
don't want to say that
I
am
not thrilled (about going home),
because
I
don't want to hurt my
mother's feelings," said Mendez.
Mendez added that it will be the
first time she will be home for an
extended period of time.
While Mendez and Jeram both
explained that their parents were
really not that strict, Mendez said
she wouldn't be able to stay out all
night, and Jeram said his parents
would definitely make him get a
job
.
According to Barbara Fries,
psychological counselor at Marist,
a graduate's life at home depends
upon his or her particular family
situation
.
"Situations are varied due to
family life," said Fries. "Some
familie
s
are easier than others."
Fries said it is important for
graduates to make sure their
parents realize that they are young
adults.
"It
is easy to slip back into a
younger role," said Fries. "But if
the graduate slips, they are just as
guilty as the parents
.
"
Kenneth Glatt, Dutchess Coun-
ty commissioner on mental
hygiene, said graduates moving
home digress into the role they were
in the last time they were home for
an extended period of time - most
often -
high school.
"The parents may try to
establish the old rules," said Glatt,
"and the returning student
will just
assume that the parents will take
care of them
.
"
Maureen McGurk, a senior from
New Hyde Park, N.Y., said it will
be difficult for her to go home
because her parents always ask her
where she is going and when she
will be back.
"l
can't pull the old go-to-the-
canoe-bar-and-stroll-in-at-sunrise
routine," said McGurk.
Similarly, Jeram said he is often
just arriving home when his father
is getting up for work.
Glatt said the best thing the
graduates can do upon their return
from college is to sit down with
their parents, and revamp the fami-
ly rules
.
"The student and parent must sit
down and make explicit each of
their expectations, including such
things as money
,
sexual activitie
s
and people sleeping over," said
Glatt.
Maureen Launey, a Marist
alumna from Bedford, N.H., said
she hasn't had to make any real
deals with her parents, but has had
to start paying for her own phone
calls, and has had a restriction put
on how late her boyfriend can stay
at night.
"I
have a feeling though that
if

stay past the fall, a deal
-
will be
-
made on paying rent,"
·
said
Louney, who explained that her
older sister, who started living at
home after graduating four years
ago, started to pay rent about two
years ago.
Tarra McLaughlin, a Maris!
alumna from North Babylon,
N
.
Y., said she had to pay rent im-
mediately upon her return home
from college
.
"I
pay about a $100 a month,
but my parents are holding it for
me so that
I
have some money
when
I
.
move out," said
McLaughlin.
McLaughlin explained that the
contributing factors of high rent,
student loans
,
and an expensive
commute forced her to live at
home.
"It
is really weird," said
McLaughlin. "You're on your own
for four years, and then you are
squashed."
"It
is also very hard for me to
get serious with someone," she
said. "At school, you can have a
serious relationship, but at home
you just can't."
McLaughlin also said that
although she still sees her college
boyfriend, college romances rare-
ly last.
"The phone is thr biggest link,"
said McLaueh
.
!:;,.
Both Louney and McLaughlin
started working a month or so after
they returned home, which
is
an
important factor, according to
Fries
.
"Finding employment can help
the graduate move into an adult
status," said Fries
.
Employment brings meaning
to
the graduate's life, as well as direc-
ting them toward better values and
morals, she said.
According to Fries, another part
of being an adult is being able to
actively communicate.
Shortage of materials in Library
regarded as the biggest concern
by
JEANNETTE MARVIN
Staff Writer
Despite The Library's recent im-
provements in its collections,
technology and physical environ-
ment, Marist faculty and students
continue to harbor negative at-
titudes towards The Library, accor-
ding to a study by the Library Task
Force in a draft of the May 1992
Marist College Institutional
Self-Study.
The Library Task Force evalua-
tion is an intensive study based on
the 1981 and 1986 Middle States
reports, the 1991 Library Commit-
tee report, results of annual student
satisfaction survey, a library survey
on student use and ability to locate
needed library materials and
various library records on the
facility's collection and service
usage by the Marist community.
The Task Force also conducted
interviews with faculty and
students and examined course
syllabi for evidence of assignments
that require library usage.
The study found that The
Library has many positive
attributes.
Funding for The Library has
"substantially increased in the last
three years, resulting in a growth
rate consistent with the needs of a
college of our size and mission,"
according to the study.
"This was not alwavs the case in
previous years, the net result being
a below-average collection of
books (and to a much lesser degree,
periodicals) and a very negative
perception of the Library among
students and faculty alike," the
survey notes.
The study also concluded that
"negative perceptions on campus
are extremely difficult and slow to
change."
The study describes im-
provements in almost every aspect
of The Library:
-
Direct library materials ex-
penditures have risen from $77,958
in 1980-81 fiscal year to $340,783
in fiscal year 1990-91
an
increase of
over 400 percent.
- The current periodicals collec-
tion has increased from 850 titles
in 1987 to over 1,475 titles in 1991,
a 70 percent increase in
5 years.
-
A
1991
comparative
analysis of ten similar institutions,
(Dowling, Iona, Ithaca, Manhat-
tan, Marist, Mercy, Molloy, Pace,
St.Bonaventure and Wagner,) by
The Library directors based on
Higher Education General Infor-
mation Survey reported that Marist
ranked ninth in the total number of
volumes with 130,131, fourth in
current periodicals with 1,470, first
in video materials with 2,603 and
fourth in professional library staff
members with eight.
The studv also said the introduc-
tion of the mainframe DOBIS On
-
line Public Access Catalog (OPAC)
and six personal computer
reference database workstations,
several of which will be accessible
through the mainframe in a few
months, has combined computer
technology and library resource
s
with promising results.
The Library building has also
been restructured for maximum
efficiency.
In 1987, the Media Center mov-
ed
10
the Lowell Thomas Building
leaving room for a stack area of
15,000
volumes and a bibliographic
instruction classroom.
Other building changes include
the redesigning of library offices
and the reduction of non-library
utilization of the space from 30 per-
cent ten years ago, to
S
percent to-
day,
according to the study.
Space re-allocation has produc-
ed 20 group-study tables seating 80
students, along with
150
individual
seats for quiet study and 375 seats
for library research.
New library programs such as
the Library Liaisons program,
which links one faculty member
from each discipline to the Collec-
tion Development Librarian, and
the book approval plan in six
disciplines have been instituted to
provide faculty input on purchas-
ing books, the report said
.
But, however, the study says
there is still room for improvement.
Greater student involvement in
the book allocation process is need-
ed for one, the study noted:
"All
information and analysis so
far shows little involvement by
students in the collection develop-
ment process. The students on the
Task Force believe that their
classmates are too deadline driven
with assignments to worry about
helping build the collections. even
though they are concerned about
perceived lack of resources for their
needs.·
•
The Library Task Force also
reports that The Library Collection
is
lacking in several core
/
liberal
studies disciplines and advised an
increase in the level of budget sup-
port for the acquisition of librarv
materials.
·
Greater facultv and student in-
volvement in material acquisition
and usage support is needed too the
study said.
The 26,000-plus square foot
building is ill-equipped to house the
growing collections
.
A new
building capable of seating 875
students and storing
250,000
volumes is needed, the report said.

.
The health plan between Marist
and St. Francis, developed in 1985,
was set up for resident students, ac-
cording to Jane O'Brien, director
of Health Services.
The cost of the plan is included
in room and board fees for resident
students, said O'Brien.
O'Brien said that off-campus
students aren't covered because the

"They should notify you as soon

or when you withc;lraw from hous-
ing. They should at least notify our
parents who think we're still
covered," said Backhaus.
Jim Raimo, director of Housing
and Residential Life, said students
are not notified through the hous-
ing office.
Raimo also said students should
be aware of the health plan on their
own.
Deborah DiCaprio, assistant
dean of Student Affairs, said the
information about the health plan
and what happens when students
move off-campus has always been
in the student handbook.
Kristen McDade, a junior who
found out that she wasn't covered
because her parents received a bill
at home, also said students should
be
notified when they withdraw
from housing, and parents should
be notified in some way.

Many students interviewed for The Circle's story on the debate team's head
coach portrayed an environment in which there is an inordinate amount of
pressure to succeed and the only support structures in p]ace are your team-
mates and your coach. This is probably true on most nationally ranked debate
teruns.
Many administrators acknowledge this environment exists -

Hot
dogs and band-aids help in job search
by
MARK MILLER
Ah, senior year, hang out, have a few
beers, and try not to think about May when
·
you will enter the much dreaded, so-called
Real World.
I am already a member of this place, on
the other side of the mountain, where
diplomas are just pieces of paper. People like
you, not for how much beer you can drink,
but for your ability to make them smile.
It us a wondrous place, the Real World,
and you too can become a member. It's not
easy but it's possible.
The first thing I did after graduating was
stock up on the hot dogs. I knew it was go-
ing to be a long haul and I needed to have
some sustenance.
Secondly, The New York Times Help
Wanted becomes your
best friend. Don't be
scared to get newsprint on your hands.
It'll
wear off.
Mondays became resume day.
I
would
read every possible Help Wanted in the
Times and the Philadelphia Inquirer and
send away .
.
This process was amazing.
It
felt as if
I
was running
my
own junk mail business.
I
didn't really
expect
anybody to send anything
back. They didn't.
The rest of the week I hung out, ate hot
dogs and watched baseball games. Ninten-
do became an evil addiction, admitted
drunkenly to others who were unemployed
in bars and restaurants around Philadelphia.
People call
·
me during these recessionary
times.
Mark got a job - how can
I
get one?
·
I don't have the answer
.
If some schmo happens to answer a piece
of your junk mail, hop on it
like
it is tuna
(caught without the use of a net, no less) and
you are the cat on his eighth life .
.
· When you go to the interview, do the usual
thing but do not, do not get really worked
up about it. Otherwise you forget or get all
those juicy one liners
and
wonderful ques-
tions Aunt Irene and Uncle Max told you to
say, mixed up.
Don't listen to Aunt Irene and Uncle Max
at all, unless they have connections.
If
they
don't, politely nod your head and continue
chewing. "Thanks Aunt Irene, I'll be sure
to say that."
In one
·
ear and out the other. You'll
be
much safer that way. Remember these peo-
ple haven't looked for a job in forty yea~s.
(Now if they hire people, work as much m-
fo as you can out of them.)
Try to have as little planned as possible
unless you're a professional actor, because
you'll forget it all and look like a bumbling
fool anyway.
Just go in, hang out and lie, lie, lie. Okay
expand on the truth a little maybe.
Don't say, "Well I've used the Macintosh
once in my life." Say: "I've had a little ex-
perience with Mac." You're not lying so
much as shoving the truth around.
The
part you should lie about
is
when they
ask you what you have doing for the past
seven months since graduation
.
Do not say: We'll I've been eating hot
dogs, playing Nintendo and watching
baseball games
.
They do not appreciate this.
Say
:
"I have been traveling." They love
this
.
Employers think this is the neatest thing
in the world.
·
If asked where you have been, do not say
Bangladesh or Bangkok. Simply tell them
places you have been- Boston for
a
weekend,
Maine for a week;
I just want to get to know
this country a little bit better. Blah
,
blah,
blah.
The only way to get a job you'll enjoy is
:
o talk to people. Send out resumes like
crazy, talk to anybody, anybody who mig~t
give you a peek at what the Real World 1s
all about and keep on chomping dogs.
Personally,
I
love my job and my people
don't believe a job will end your life or that
you must hate your job.
I wake up every morning in New York Ci-
(Y
and think that every day is Halloween and
I will dress up as a grown up.
It's not the
age, it's the attitude.
The first few weeks are amazing, a floating
experience-go ahead, laugh, it is funny, get-
ting your own card and desk and wearing a
tie and having donuts in the morning and
faxing like crazy. It's hilarious, all of
it.
Just don't think about it, don't put too
much pressure on yourself. If you didn't get
the job, well, then you would have probably
hated it anyway, just chill out until the next
big interview comes along and then party it
up. They only come once and a while.
Good Luck and if you're planning on
pounding the pavement, buy a lot of
Band-Aids.
Mark Miller is a graduate of Marist's class
of 1991.

Like most Marist students,
Laura Connell feels the stress and
anxiety of finals approaching. But
unlike many other students, the
junior also addresses the pressure
of another upcoming due date -
the day her child is born.
Connell, who is seven months
pregnant, is often described by
students and faculty as a sweet girl
with
a
heart of gold. She is anx-
iously
awaiting the birth of her
baby, which is supposed to be born
the first week of July
.
Today, Connell said she feels
young people have the strength and
coping ability to deal with
situa-
tions that may seem overwhelming.
"I
believe there is a strength
within each of us that we can find
within ourselves to get through dif-
ficult times." said Connell.
Connell finds as the time draws
closer to her child's birth, there are
less emotional and physical dif-
ficulties
and
more

experiences.

A New York federal judge ruled
in February 1989 that the exclusive
use of the Scholastic Aptitude Test
(SAT) for awarding scholarships
discriminates against women.
While the judge ruled that sole
reliance on the scores for giving
scholarships is discriminating, he
did not say the test itself was bias-
ed, according to News & Comment
Magazine.
Yet, many people and test critics
have interpreted that ruling as sup-
port for their belief that the test is
biased against women
.
The SAT, a test taken by over
one million college bound
students
each year, has caused many ques-
tions to arise because it under
predicts the grades of women.
While males have higher SAT
scores, females receive higher
grades at the college level.
The 1991 national SAT mean
to Michelle Erickson or Admis-
sions. Yet, men scored 533 on the
math portion, topping the women
who
scored
503.
Despite what the SAT should
predict, once in college, women ob-
tain higher grade point averages
ac-
cording to college studies.
Maris! college-wide gpa's have
generally reflected this point, ac-
cording to Marist's Institutional
Research Office.
Among the reasons
are; biased questions, fin-
dings that women suffer
from test anxiety more

men in completing 1he test
and are less

bal section and 497 on the math
section, according to the Educa-
tional Testing Service (ETS). That
same year, women scored 418 on
the verbal and 453 on the math.
New York state mean scores also
show the men scoring higher than
the women.
For 1991, men scored 417 for
verbal and 489 for math, while the
women scored 409 on verbal and

The results on hand-as far back

ETS spokesperson.

The Center For Women Policy
Studies said they see a definite sex
bias in the SAT test.
The center based conclusions on
a report by test analyst Phyliss
Rosser which analyzed score dif-
ferences of men and women on the
test.
Among the reasons are; biased
questions, findings that women
suffer from test anxiety, women arc
slower than men in completing the
test and are less likely to guess at
the answers, said Rosser.
The ETS
says
the test is not
biased.
Each year the College Board
sends out
a
report of
scores
and
other
SAT related information
in-
cluding reasons why men

said
Ray
Holden, an ETS spokesman.
The report
says
there are more
female test takers than males so the
larger the testing pools, the lower
the average is, said Holden.
The background of individual
students
is also reflected in the
scores,
said
Holden. There is
a
greater average of males that cake

courses
which help them score higher, ac-
cording to the report.
Marilyn Poris, director of
Marist's Institutional Research Of-
fice, said she feels that women are
more serious about what they want
to do which enables them to
establish their GPA's earlier than
meri.
"I
think it's
attitude,
not abili-
ty," Poris said.
Barbara Carpenter, director of
the Learning Center, said freshmen
women are possibly a little more
academically oriented than men.
Whether the test is biased or not,
Larry Litten of the College En-
trance Exam Board says, a
"substantial majority" of admis-
sions officers say the test makes the
selection process more efficient.
Despite all the controversy, there
is no sign of a trend away from col-
lege admissions tests, according to
Litten.

Personal ads:A column for the lonely souls
Not oniy does the advertiser risk negative
feedback by revealing something about
themselves, but they also risk harassment
from people he or she is uninterested in.
by
ANASTASIA B. CUSTER
Staff Writer
Somewhere squished in between the adop-
tion and dog advertisements a different type
of ad appears, an ad generated out of
loneliness and inviting companionship.
Although not the most effective way to
meet new people or form solid relationships,
personal ads are becoming a more popular
trend.
People from all racial, ethnic and social
groups take out personal ads blindly seek-
ing friendship or love.
"It's like buying a car but without seeing
it. It takes a lot of guts to reply to a personal
ad. It takes spunk and confidence," said
Charlie Belton, a Poughkeepsie resident who
advertised in the Poughkeepsie Journal.
Belton said he has not found love yet, but
he said he has had a good time going out
with
different people and has not had any bad
experiences.
The personal ads not only call for com-
panionship, they also cost money. A seven-
line ad placed for seven days in the
Poughkeepsie Journal costs $14 and an ex-
tra dollar for each additional line, according
to a spokeswoman for the newspaper's
Classified Advertising Department.
Personal ads usually read the same way.
Advertisers almost always describe
themselves
as:
slender, attractive, out-going,
energetic, happy. And are seeking the same
'perfect' product.
"The person who puts an ad in the per-
sonals chooses to reveal how they see
themselves. They give more of a picture of
how they see themselves then they would at
a party," said Diane LeLito Platt, adjunct
professor of communication arts and owner
of SpeakEasy, a communications business.
However, the picture of how people see
themselves may
·
be different from what
others perceive them as and this may lead to
a major downfall, said Monika Boeckmann,
·
adjunct professor of psychology.
"Most people are not very honest and the
expectations that are set up very rarely pan
out," Boeckmann said. "Everyone knows
what a
10
is. So people build themselves up.
Shapely is very popular now, voluptuous was
popular in the 1950s. The people who res-
pond are set up."
"We live in a culture where the emphasis
is on being tan and attractive. There
is
acer-
tain amount of skepticism," said Platt.
Along with the skepticism that breeds in
today's society, a stigma also exists.
Some people perceive personal ads as a
negative thing reducing a person to an adver-
tisement
.
in
the classifieds.
"The stigma-what does it say about
somebody who advertises in the personals,
stands out in peoples minds," said Platt.
"Right or wrong, when we first meet peo-
ple we make up our minds right away."
The personals allow two people to get to
know one another by words rather than by
looks.
"Our culture does not view singles
as
ok.
There is a pressure for the Ione person. After
a certain age, a question hangs over a per-
son, asking what is wrong with them," said
Platt.
Although not everyone who places an ad
in the personals does so out of desperation
-
some
·
place ads and reply because they
have
attempted
other
means
of
companionship.
"After you have asked your friends and
co-workers for help, what are your choices?
A bar? People just want to look for new peo-
ple, not always for companions. After you
exhausted all other traditional steps, the per-
sonal ads seem like the next logical step,"
said Platt.
·
However, the personals, like other forms
of meeting new people, carry a certain
amount of risk.
"When we meet people we want to create
a favorable perception. We end up masking
ourselves. It's more focused in the personals.
If you said what you say in the personals,
verbally
in
a social situation, than others
would think you have an enormous ego,"
said Platt.
The process of advertising for a personal
ad or answering one may appear deceptive
and difficult; however, the number of peo-
ple who are advertising is increasing.
The Poughkeepsie Journal began selling
personal ads two years ago, and they are
gaining in popularity and
·
in diversity
.
The increase in popularity with personal
ads has also soared outside the United States.
In 1989 in Ottawa, Canada,
an
article in
Madean's magazine claimed that Ottawa
was the lovelorn capital of the world, based
upon the number of personal ads.
All three daily newspapers in Ottawa con-
:
tained personal ads and a magazine with 14
pages dedicated solely to personals.

Tom Chiaveili said his team is
one swing away from picking up

Chiavelli, the head coach of the
first-year women's softball team,
has seen his team struggle
to
a 3-26
· record because the Red Foxes' bats
become silent at the worst possible
moments.
"We've been in so many games
where one hit could have been the
difference," he said. "This late in
the season, there's not much you
can do to change that. Even bat-
ting practice doesn't help now."
His team's silent swings were as
evident as ever last weekend in the
Northeast Conference tournament.
Marist, seeded eighth in the eight-
team, double-elimination field, lost
its first two games on Saturday and

As the No. 8 seed, the Foxes

Robert Morris. The upstart Red
Foxes threw a scare into the Col-

Trailing 1-0 in the top of the
third, the women tied the game on
Patty Ackermann's RBI triple that

Marist dropped into the loser's
bracket to tangle with St. Francis
(N.Y.),
but again came up just
short, losing 4-2.
Marist picked up its only two
runs of the game in the bottom of
the sixth on two straight fielder's
choices by Ackermann and Marge
Sylvia and a
St.
Francis error.
However, the Red Foxes had
runners on first and second with
one out in the seventh. Poised for
the comeback win, Hasselmann
grounded into a game-ending dou-
ble play.

Marist did not
score
until its last

took second on a wild pitch and
rode home on Nicole Paquette's
double.
Game two was more frustration
for the Red Foxes. Starter Kristin
Wallace threw a one-hitter-and

All the runs in the game were
scored in the first. Leadoff batter
Ackermann singled, reached se-
cond on an error, and trotted home
on two straight wild pitches by
eventual winner JoAnn McCusker.
Queens retaliated in the bottom
of the inning. Wallace walked the
first two batters and both subse-
quently scored-Karen Bargier on

on the tail end of an
RBI
single.
Marist picked up win number
three last Thursday with an upset
of Big East power Sewn Hall. Even
more impressive, Marist pulled off
the feat with only nine players.
After losing game one 5-0,
Marist found itself down 4-0 after
three innings in game two. Then,
much to Chiavelli's delight, the of-
fense showed a spark of life.
Marist pounded out eight hits
and rallied for eight runs the rest
of the way en route to an
8-4
vic-
tory. The big blow was Acker-
mann's two-run double in the sixth.
Bambakidou earned her first win
of the season despite finding out
just before game time she was to

The answer: Carolyn Powell.
The question: Who scored the
first-ever goal for the women's
lacrosse club?
Powell, a junior, scored the lone
goal in the Red Foxes'
15-1
Joss to
Vassar College. She was assisted by
freshman Kerrie Mione.
Besides intrasquad scrimmages,
it was the first time the inaugural
club had faced competition.
Powell, who played lacrosse in
high school, said she wanted
to
continue
playing
in college

looked
into

held the
first meeting in the fall and we
started practicing in February."
Of
the
38
girls that attended the
first meeting,
26
showed up for the
first day of practice.
Every day is a learning ex-
perience as Powell said about half
of the team has never played
before.
"I was glad to have this game,"
said Powell, who also serves as
coach.
"It
was important for us to
play a real game and put to use
what we've been practicing. The
girls said the opportunity to play
was the best thing."
Junior Cristin Gilleran, who had
never played before this year,
agreed.
"It
was a great feeling," the
goalie said. "Once you're out there
and the adrenalin is going, it's
great.
I
saved the first shot against
me and that really boosted my con-
fidence. All the hard work had paid
off."
Powell said the club will pro-
bably not play another game this
spring but
will
start up again in the
fall.
"I
want to start again in the fall
and hopefully play some more
games because we will be more ex-
perienced," she said

While the Marist athletic teams may not have accumulated the best
won/loss records, there have been some definite shining moments to
remember from the 1991.92 season
.
The football team put together another winning season, marking the
first time in school history the gridders have had back-to-back winning
season
.
In the process, Don D' Aiuto became the school's all-time leading
rusher.
Following the season, Head Coach Rick Pardy shocked the

munity when he announced his resignation to take on the head coaching

position at Bates College in Maine.
Also in the fall season, the women's cross country was enjoying success.
Led by Jen VonSuskil, the Red Foxes finished no worse than fifth in
eight races.

As the winter season approached, the focus shifted to basketball.
However, after Dave Magarity's club dropped its first seven games
of the season, some fans began to notice the success of the hockey club.
Having finished second in the division last year, the hockey club had
a mission this year. It was a mission it completed when the team cap-
tured the championship.
As hockey season progressed, the basketball team began to make a
name for itself, winning seven of 10 gafues and starting the revival of

Despite a late-season slide, the Red Foxes came within just one game
of reaching the
NCAA tourna111ent.
Marist managed to make it to the Northeast Conference finals -
televised live by ESPN -
against Robert Morris, the eventual winner.
The winter season provided other shining moments.
Charlene Fields set a new James J. McCann Recreation Center scor-
ing record when she tallied
37
points in a win against Lehigh.
Fields and her teammates struggled at the beginning of the season but -
later finished the season as one of the lop learns in the conference.
Lori Keys, a new addition to the women's basketball team, showed
her versatility by setting
a
school record in the shot put for the new track
team.
Speaking of records, what about Brink Hartman'?
The senior swimmer finished a brilliant career and has his name in
the record book 10 times.

The men's tennis team was dealt
a tough
5-4
-
loss at the hands of
Northeast Conference foe Wagner
College on Monday, dropping its
overall record to ·5-8.
Despite
·
the setback, Marist
dominated the singles portion of
the match.
Senior co-captain John Cleary
won easily in three sets,
6-1, 6-0,
while freshman Kevin McGovern
coasted,
6-2, 6-2.
Senior John Joyce, who took the
first set, 6-3, had trouble in these-
cond, but later prevailed 7-6 (7-2).
Joyce and junior Tom Acuri
teamed up in doubles to take a 4-6,
7-5, 9-7 triumph.
"We were tied going into
doubles," explained Head Coach
Jim Parady. "However, we were
not able to come over the top in the
latter part of match and pull it
off."
Last weekend, Marist battled
against its Northeast Conference
rivals in the conference tournament
held at Monmouth College.
The Red Foxes were involved in
four matches, three of which were
in singles competition.
Sophomore co-captain, Jeff
Barker, was a
6-4,
6-3 victim in the
singles "A" segment, while Cleary
lost a tough 7-5, 6-7 (7-3), and 7-6
(7-4)
battle against Desmond
DiSalvo of St. Francis (N.Y.) in
singles "B". The match was a
marathon, lasting 3 hours and 15
minutes ..
McGovern, who filled in for Jay
Crowley because of an injµry, lost
6-1, 6-0 and Joyce was stopped in
straight sets,
6-2, 6-3.
Steve Popper and Nick Valente
combined forces in doubles, but
were defeated 6-3, 7-5.
Despite the tournament results,
Parady was pleased about his
player's performances, especially
Cleary.
"John's match was outstan-
ding," he said. "He played the best
tennis I have ever seen out of him.
He was in the match both mental-
ly and physically."
Last Wednesday, the Red Foxes
powered past Pace, 7-2.
Once again, Marist was able to
take control
early, winning four of
the first six singles matches.
Barker and Cleary claimed top
honors in their matches, 6-3, 6-1
and 6-2; 6-1, respectively, while
Popper and McGovern outhit their
opponents, 6-4, 7-5 and 6-1,6-3.
