Ona cold; snowy night in February 1989,
Ge<>rge Conboy made a decision that would
change his life

forever.

While standing on the edge of a bridge

around him.
lt
was at this point he decided
to check himself into an alcohol rehabilita-
tion center and take control of his life.
That was almost four years ago. And he
hasn't had a drink since.
Today Conboy, a senior psychology ma-
jor at Marist, has taken his mask off and is
sharing his troubled life story with the hope
that he can help other students. It may sound
easy, but Conboy's life has been anything
but.

But that

and he had already begun the walk down the·

Within t,vo yea'rs, Conboy was broke. He
had donated
$5,000
to his former high school

to be used
·
for
·
students who came from
homes like the one he came from. The rest
of the money he spent on limos, a boat, a
truck and lots of drugs and alcohol.
To the outsider he had everything. To
himself, he had nothing.
Cold Springs,
N. Y.
was his next stop. He
had no money and no place to go. He ended
up living in what he refers to as a closet, and
drinking the days away.
He had hit rock bottom and the only solu
-
tion he could think of was killing himself.
Conboy spent days al Marist's Admissions
and Financial Aid offices, in an attempt to
sell himself as someone who would fit in at
Marist.
.
His perservearance paid off. Through
some miracle Conboy was accepted into
Marist.
With all of his possessions in a single bag,
Conboy arrived at Canterbury Gardens, the
place he has called home for the past four
years.
Entering his apartment on that frighten-
ing first day, Conboy found himself among
two drunk roommates, with a bong on the
table.
He dropped his bag, walked out the back
door, looked up and laughed.

Students abandon Skinner's for
more student-packed local bars
by
JOSEPH CALABRESE
Staff Writer
The switch in loyalties and
preferences that is occuring in our
nation's capital with the election of
a Democrat is also occurring in
Poughkeepsie, with the move of
Marist students to different bars.
For years, Skinner's had been
the favorite among Marist seniors.
It
offered everything a 21-year-
old could want: cold beer, a great
location,
,
good music and a place
to socialize. This year, students
·
would rather stay
inside
than
go
to
Skinner's.
Jeremy Sencer, a senior from
Rhode Island said, "Who wants to
drink at a place that only has five
people there
.
" Sencer said that
Skinner's turned students away
that were legal.
"Students
got
shot down the
-
first weekend <1.nd they did not at-
tempt to come back," Sencer said.
The crowds of Marist
students
end-
ed up at Renaissance pub.
For Sencer, like many students,
going to the Renaissance has
become an enjoyable habit. "Many
an evening, their cold beer and
spicy chicken wings have pulled us
through," he said.
Renaissance was always a
popular upper-class bar but this
year is
.
cashing in on Skinner's
problems.
Ken Peabody, the night manager
at Skinner's, said that he imagin-
ed this year, the last year for the
bar,
.
to
be busier.
Skinner's in it's
last
year before
it will be knocked down
and
replac-
ed by asphalt.
"Students that live off-campus
drive out of there to come to a dead
bar with none of their friends
around," Peabody
said
.
"It's
com-
mon
.
sense for them to leave."
Peabody
said
the bouncer has to be
hard at the door because of all the
problems the bar has had with the
police.

Peabody was arrested at the
beginning of the semester for

ing an under-age

"After that we did not let peo-
ple in. It is just not worth it," he
said.
Peabody
said
they make an

students in the bar of legal drink-

Cooking 101: Towering inferno of lasagna
by
EVELYN HERNANDEZ
Staff Writer
Bob Melillo will never forget the
evening he was almost consumed
by a "towering inferno" of
lasagna. He started off to cook din-
ner in his off-campus apartment,
but he ended up coming close to
burning the place down. Melillo, a
·
senior from Lindenhurst, N.Y.,
found, like many Marist students
have, that learning to cook can be
an adventure.
Burned toast, burned bagels and
·
burned
brownies
are
commonplace.
There are some Marist students,
however, who have had burned
stoves, burned dish towels and
burned fingers.
Melillo's towering inferno of
lasagna, though, set new standards
in incendiary cooking.
"I was following (my mother's)
directions perfectly until it was time
to remove the tin foil for the last 30
minutes," he said. "I grabbed a
dish towel, took out the pan and
removed the foil.
"I then put the pan backin the
oven, forgetting to take out the
dish towel." Melillo and his room-
mates were watching television
when the smoke detector went off.
"I went into the kitchen to find
a towering inferno. There was
smoke everywhere," he said.
"Flames were shooting out of the
top of the stove by the vents. I
opened the oven to find the dish
towel burning."
Forgetting a simple rule of
biology, that flesh is not fire-
.resistant, Melillo grabbed the
towel, flames and all, to throw it
in the sink.
"I wasn't thinking about all of
those things they used to telJ you
in school about fires. I just threw
it in the sink and ran water over it,
much to the chagrin of my fingers.
"I didn't tell my roomates what
happened; I.just served the lasagna.
It had the unmistakable flavor of
charred dish towel and flesh, but
we ate it anyway," Melillo said
.
Other Marist student
-
cooks weren't
so lucky, or cannibalistic.
Laura Chlupsa, a sophomore
from Manchester, Conn., saved the
day when she put out a fire in her
Gartland Commons Apartment.
"I was in my room when the
alarm went off. After it went on
for a few seconds, I went out to fan
it,"
said
Chlupsa."As 1 was fann-
ing it, out of the corner of my eye
I saw flames. The stove, the
cabinets and the fan were on fire."
One of her housemates was
cooking french fries on the stove
with grease in it when the fire broke
out.
Chlupsa picked up the fire ex-
tinguisher and
sprayed
the fire.
"It
took several tries to put it out
because it kept igniting," he said.
Senior Debbie Jack arrived home
to her Canterbury Garden Apart•
mcnt one day, to the smell of burn-
ed toast.
"I came home to a smoky apart-
ment and I asked my housemates
what had happened. They told me
there was a fire in the toaster-oven
and that my pot holder was gone,"
Jack said. "The pita pockets had
caught on fire."
Nancy Greco, from Manhattan,
was cooking a pita in the toaster-
oven. The ringer which tells a per-
son when the toasting is done was
not working.
Greco left the kitchen for a mo-
ment leaving her housemate Amy
Foschi watching her pita while
Foschi prepared something to eat
.
"When I came back, not even a
minute later, I saw smoke coming
out of the sides of the toaster-
oven," Greco said. "I opened the
toaster-oven door
and
the flames
started to shoot out.
"I
screamed.
I went over
next
door to get the RA. She wasn't
home, but her roommate was, and
she came over to help us. When we
came back, Amy had already put
out the fire," Greco said.
Foschi had blown out the lire -

Sometimes families follow each other to college
by
PATRICE SELLECK
Staff Writer
Most people look forward to going to col-
lege because it is a time to break away from
family and old_ friends, but for many
students at Manst, the family ties remain
bound when it is time to leave home.
These people are siblings who attend
Marist.
"I really don't mind having my broth~r

home with you every day," said Jodie Schaf-

Marist landmarks feature fairy-tale style

WILBERT DEN OUDEN
· Staff Writer
Brother Ambrose stood in the
midst of route 9, stopped traffic
and allowed other brothers to cross
the congested roadway. The
Brothers carried wooden beams -
in order to construct the chapel.
"I stood in my cassock in route
9'
and stopped
all
the traffic both
ways and let the brothers pass.
They carried over every beam. We
didn't need a truck and we didn't
need a hoist," said Brother
Ambrose.·
The l\tlarist brothers did not con-
. struct every building on campus,
however, they erected some of the
buildings by hand and this is their
history.
The Marist College campus
brings three fairy tale houses,
Greystone, St. Peter's and Kieran-
Gatehouse, a life between the,
buildings of modern time.
'The three buildings, each aged
over 100 years old, stand as land-
marks scattered across the campus.
For instance, Greystone was
built in I 858 and used as a carriage
house to hold the carriages and
horses, a hayloft on the top floor
and a blacksmith on the bottom
floor, ·and on the side was a green
house.
"If
you look over the door, you
see a great block of granite for the
slide doors," said Brother Paul
Ambrose, who was the founder
and first president of Marist Col-
lege in· 1943.
Before Greystone became the
· president's office, the school used
it

was no water in the house and it
had two fireplaces with a well out-

Ambrose said.
When the Marist Brothers fixed
up the Kieran-Gatehouse in the

office for special academic
programs.

S0's, they remodelled the inside
with heat and air conditioning and
closed off the fire places. "We
bought water in only down stairs,
where was a toilet room and a kit-
chen," said Brother Ambrose.
The Kieran-Gatehouse is the on-
ly place on campus which still
belongs to the Marist Brothers.

Ms. Fisher, who was an art teacher
at Marist, Champagnat Hall was
built correctly.
"Brother Donnelly and Ms.
Fisher checked every single day on
the construction. They (the con-
tractors) were cheating left and
right," Brother Belanger said.
"When Brother Donnelly found
out that the breezeway floor was
poured with one feet difference bet-
ween the middle and the walls, the
St. Peter's, built in 1877,
foreman tried to bribe Brother
Donnelly."
Although the campus is con-
structing more modern looking
buildings, the fairy tale style of
Greystone, St. Peter's and Kieran-
Gate house continue to reflect the
past history of Marist.

For the money spent on tagging
these trees, I bet Marist could have
built a new library.
While standing under the Ginko
Biloba;
I
began to wonder about
many things on this campus and
· thought I'd share them with
everyone so lets's take a close look
at the campus, shall we?
Let's start at, oh I don't know,
• Donnelly. What in heavens name
mistake? Did a random person
place it there to see if anyone would
notice? Does anyone have the
answer?
While on the subject of Donnel-
ly, I have another point to make.
Who numbered the rooms there?
'And when they renovated it, why
couldn't they fix the numberirig so
there was a certain logic to it.
I have been here. for four years
and walk around the building in a
constant state of confusion hoping
to stumble upon the right
office/ classroom.
For a false attempt for trying to
fix something, and doing a poor
job of it, BUZZ (imagine a buzzer
sound going oft) You lose!
Next round, thanks for playing.
We have some lovely parting gifts
backstage.
In the vicinity of the ginko tree,
is the library. Inside the library, ser-
ving as decorations, are flags from
countries across the world. This
might be a nice touch, if the
American flag happened to be
hanging too.
Another point to ponder, how
does one gain access to that
walkway around the outside of the
library?
Has anyone else ever noticed the
huge boulders that appear to be
strategically placed? What purpose
do they serve? They do not add to
the aesthetic beauty of the campus

it's boring with or without
windows.
Alas, that this is where my in-
quisitive excursion of Marist ends.

paper had some questions that they
were wondering about, so does
anyone have the answers? Inquir-
ing minds want to know!

This is a general letter to the

is
in-
correct. The DIVERS compete on

been a valid statement if the rest of

In this same incident, a woman
was involved, and she was referred

The article goes on to talk about
other instances, totally unrelated,
but it identifies the participants as
"the male perpetrator", "a
female" and "an off-campus
Marist student." A statement like
that orily puts in jeopardy every
African-American student who

Despite the many objections, Raimo said he agreed to make some
concessions.
For example, Marist will pay for movers and storage space over
Christmas break so not all of their belongings will have to be moved twice
.
.
Also, if the students are moved into an apartment where there is no
phone already in place, Marist will pay for the installation fee .
Raimo said he is committed they will stay together, and will try to
negotiate with Canterbury management to let them stay in their existing
apartments if Marist can't find empty two bedroom apartments.
Stacy Bradley, a senior from Dix Hills,
N.Y.,
said, "We asked Raimo
why our apartments were the ones placed here, but he wouldn't fake
responsibility for it, and never answered the question."
Raimo said seniors shouldn't have been placed there.
"It
would have
been betterif we looked ahead and either put juniors or people with lower
priority points there," Raimo said. "It was a combination of one -
human error and two we didn't know for sure how many buildings were

offices. "Without them, the in-
structional part really can:t exist,"
Campilii said.
Academic computing and
academic affairs arc also a part of
academic support.
The fifth category is student ser-
vices. Admissions, student affairs,
student government, counseling,
the registrar and career develop-
ment all make up this area.
The athletic department is also
included in student services, though
to some universities athletics are an
auxilary enterprise because of na-
tionally recognized teams which
bring in money for the school.
"We don't have any
sport
that
makes a lot of money," Campilii
said. "Athletics is an expense that
has minimal revenue." The sixth
category, institutional support, arc
those functions necessary to assist
the corporate and business enter-
prise to run the college.
The seventh category. is called
plant. "This is where the operation
and maintenance of the college is
covered," Campilii said.
Money in this category goes to
the president, the business office,
the senior executive of each area,
human resources, securitv and fees
for which the coll.egc has
memberships.
Plam includes lights, electricity,
grounds, custodial services and the
physical
appearance
and
maintenanceof the campus. Finan-
cial aid composes the eighth
category. According to Campilii,
every student is booked at full tui-
tion upon entering, and what is
given out in financial aid is counted
as an expense. The costs of scholar-
ships are factored into the financial
aid category. The final area of
spending · is· the mandatory
transfers, which is the debt Marist
College owes. The recent ·Middle
Scares review said 1\farist
was
"fiscally sound," mostly because
the school is required
to
produce a
balanced budget.
"The bottom line is that we must
produce a balanced budget every
year," Campilii said. "Over the
last 13 years, Marist has gone in
with a balanced budget and came
out with a modest surplus." When
planning the budget, Marist must
evaluate its needs by looking at past
expenditures and calculating what
will be required in each of the nine
categories, Campilii said. "The
surplus goes into a general pool,"
he said. "The larger it becomes, the
less tuition we need
to
charge."

ferent backgrounds," Lillie said.
"They have ro have a respect for
people regardless of race, nationali-
ty or political point of view."
Lillie said volunteers must also
have a willingness to conform to
the customs of a host country and,
most of all, need a sense of humor.
Helmreich also had some advice to
people who may consider the Peace
Corps as future plans.
"I would never recommend do-
ing
it
from a humanitarian stand-
point. You have to do it for
· yourself. You have to be self-
contained," Helmreich said.
"l
only had myself for entertain-
ment for long periods of time. I
read '\Var and Peace' in three days.
There is a lot of time to write and
reflect. You have to ask yourself,
Can I get by with out my friends?
Does getting away appeal to me?
If you're not sure what you want
to do, it gives you direction.
It
can
be a lot of fun."

Magic announc~d
by
TRICIA TASKEY
Staff Writer
Superstar Magic Johnson hasretired from professional basketball for
the second time, and fans are confused and angry.
Dave Magarity, head coach of the mens' Marist basketball team, was
one of many who were
upset
by the news.
"I'm
very disappointed in him, or whoever pushed him to this,"
Magarity said. "I don't think there was any physical danger, he had to
have clearance for his physical condition.
According to a New York Times report, doctors gave Johnson the OK
to play. They said the chances of contracting the H.I. V. virus while play-
ing basketball are "almost nil."
Jane O'Brien, director of health services at Marist, agrees.
"It
would
be difficult to catch the virus on the game floor, chances are pretty
remote," O'Brien said. "The only people at risk would be the· trainers
dealing with the wounds, but ihey wquld be protected. Although medical
officials say it's safe, soI_lle remain skeptical.
Lisa Chmielewski, a senior basketball player from the Bronx, admit-
ted she would be scared to play with someone with the H.l.V. Virus.
"I
think it's good he is retiring," Chmielewski said. "He's a threat
to the other players. There's a lot of contact with open wounds cuts and
scrapes,
I know from my own experience playing."
John Marks, a,senior from Glenn Falls, N.Y., is an avid fan of the
sport and Johnson. He said he'll miss him but that it's for the best.
"I
think it's good because if he got elbowed in the nose or something
and there was blood people would be hysterical," Marks said. "He's
a great player, probably one of the best in the game, but you've got to
know when to say when."
Johnson has said when. He also made an eye opening comment at a
recent press conference.
"If
I
can get H.l.V., anyone can," he said.
Statistics show that one in
500
college students are H.I. V. positive,
and there are probably more who are not yet aware of
it.
Five months after
graduating from
college, 21-year-old
Wendy Marx fell into
a coma and nearly died
from a disease she'd barely

"People don't want to look at themselves and think that they can be
infected," O'Brien said. "There is a lot that can be done to help people
who are infected, if the virus is detected in early stages."
Marist does not offer testing on campus because the health services
office is so small, they would not guarantee that the results could be kept
confidential. However free, confidential testing is offered at The Dut-

to
the
test as well as after.

Marist, 0-1-1, knotted the game
when senior Ed Sherako

in the net in the first period.

Marist scored its first goal of the
game on a fluke play.
While down a man, senior Mike
Flynn cleared the puck out of the
Marist end. The puck headed
toward the Siena goaltender, who
in his attempt to try and pass the
puck ahead, fanned at it, and the
puck found the net. Doug
Wasowski, the
.
other co-captain,
scored an unassisted goal in the se-
cond period while both teams were
at full strength

Marist then cut the Saint lead to
one when Lloyd captured his se-

an
assist
from fellow assistant captain Kent
Rinehart.

First-year Head Coach Kevin
Walsh seemed disappointed about
his team's play and explained the
areas where they need to improve.
"It was not a good one;'' he said.

Rinehart, a senior right wing,

"Onceagain,
we should have won," he said

"We played

instead of60minutes. Wewere not

Walsh feels part of the reason
for the setback was Marist's inabili-
ty to break out on qffense proper-
ly. "Breaking out is the key for
us," he said. "Unfortunately, we
\vere not doing that, which caused
Siena to get 57 shots on goal."
Walsh, who has just taken over
the reigns of the hockey team this
season, spoke in high praises of his

The women's volleyball team
finished its 1992 campaign by split- .
ting its final two matches. Marist ..
(14-14) ended the. season in- fine
fashion Saturday · by defeating
Fairleigh Dickinson University
15-5, 15-9 and 15-9 in New Jersey.
Junior Nicole Silenzi collected 10
kills, while lone senior Robin Gest!
compiled seven: First-year Head
Coach Sally Johnston seemed con-
tent with the win. "We had a lot
. of enthusiasm because we wanted
to reach .500," she said; "We came
through and played well." Last Fri-
day, the Red Foxes finished its·Jast
home game on a dismal note by
falling to Army 15-12, 15-5 and
15-11.
Marist was overmatch-
ed as the Cadets dominated every
facet of the match.
Silenzi slammed down nine kills ,
while freshman Jen Cteighton spik-
ed six.
Johnston summarized.· this
season and spoke optimistically
about next year. "It has been- a
learning experience for my
.
players.
and me," she said. "Next seas.on,
we don't have to start from scratch,
which will be nice."

Although the men's soccer team
has been on a tear in recent weeks,
not many people thought they
would beat the third~ranked team
in the nation -
the St. John's
Redmen.
' Surprise! The Red Foxes (10-6-4,
3-3-2 in the NEC) defeated St.
John's 3-2 in two overtimes. This
successfully capped the team's first
winning season in seven years.
Marist finished the year on
a
high
note with an 8-2-1 record in its last
11
games.
.
Senior Andy Clinton scored the .
winning goal with :06 seconds left
in the second overtime period on an
assist by fellow senior Shawn Scott.
It
was Clinton's seventh goal of
the season.
Clinton gave a lot of credit to
Scott for the game.winning goal
which he said happened in a blur.
"It was crazy the way it all happen-
ed," he said.
''It
was a great ball
by Shawn - I couldn't have it (the
pass) any better."
Clinton said it was a "dream en-
ding" for he and his fellow seniors.
Senior· Bob . Angrilla tallied the
other two goals, his }0th and 11th
ofthe season, for. the Red Foxes.
· Junior goalie Ryan S_mith made
14 saves and finished the season
with a 1.54 goals-against average.
Many of. the players said the
team, especially the seniors, wanted
to win
.
the game more than the
Redmen did. Angrilla said he could
not ask for a better way to end his
career in a Marist uniform.
"It
was definitely my best ex-
perience," the team's leading
· scorer said. "Everybody did a great
job. I. couldn't ask for anything
more -
it ended perfectly."
Senior captain Lou Schmidt,
who dumped water on Head Coach
Howard Goldman after the game,
· said everyone on the team was
elated after Clinton scored to clinch
the victory;
"We were on. such a high -
it
was a great wiri," he said.
"It
was
the most incredible feeling."
The victory over the Redmen
was especially sweet for Marist con-
sidering St. John's just defeated
Seton Hall this past week to win the
Big East Tournament andreach the
NCAA. Tournament.
Goldman said the seniors'
maturity and leadership was a key
factor for the team posting a win-
ning season and a victory over the
nationally-ranked Redmen.
Goldman played all eight seniors
from the end of regulation to the
end of the game.

The future's now
for six freshmen
by

Sports Editor
For the second year in a row, half of Ken Babineau 'steam is compris-
ed of newcomers -
five recruits and one walk-on.
And, for the second year in a row, they will be pressed into service early.
Everr though he is faced with the same situation as last year, he hopes
he does not wind up with the same early results. "l don't want a start
like we had last year," he said, referring to his team's dismal 0-12 begin-
ning. "They (the freshmen) have to understand ~hat we need them right
avJay.
.
,
;"We recruit these freshmen to be a viable part of our team now, not
next year," he stressed. "We need them to step up and be counted."
And here they are ... the Recruiting Class of 1992-up and ready to be
counted:
STACEY DENGLER
The graduate of Central Dauphin High School was regarded as one
of the top centers in the state because of her physical play in the low
post and her shooting touch from 15 feet.
"She is potentially an all-conference player," he said. "She reminds
me of Danielle Galarneau (Marist 's second all-time leading scorer) with
her enthusiasm but she's got more of an offensive presence as a freshman
than Danielle had."
MELISSA HAUSER
Hauser comes to Marist from national powerhouse Altoona Area High
School in Altoona, Pa. A good ballhandler, Hauser led Altoona to a
101-30 record in her final three years.
"Melissa has the ability to give us quality minutes as a 2 or 3 guard,"
Babineau said. "She's a slashing type of player -
not a pure shooter
but a scorer. She can also beat people off the dribble."
JILL HELLER
Heller finds herself in a battle for the starting point guard spot with
Amy Presnall. Even
if
she does not start, Allentown (Pa.) Central
Catholic's all-time assist leader is assured of seeing quality playing time.

rookies bolster veteran team

Head Coach Dave Magarity
believes this year's newcomers will
make solid contributions to the
program.
The only question now is when?
Magarity's three new recruits will
have to fight hard for some play-
ing time with this year's veteran
squad. The three freshmen come
from winning high school pro-
grams and Magarity hopes they can
draw on past experience and con-
tribute to the program this year and
in the future.
Here's• the recruiting Class of

ESTHER VALENTIN
A late addition to the team, Valentin hails from the home of Rik Smits
and Willy Den Ouden -

"She's a strong girl as a 2-guard," Babineau pointed out. "She could
cause some problems for other teams with her phy~ical strength. I see
a lot of potential but this is also going to be an adjustment year for her."
.
BECKY PAULO
Babineau wanted a walk-on and the shooting guard from Wolcott High
School in Wolcott, Conn., answered. Paulo was Second Team All-League
but, as a walk-on, things are going to be a bit different.
.
"Becky's going to have to put in a lot of hours to bring herself up
to the level of the scholarship players," said Babineau. "She's not ex-

she's a well-rounded player. She picks up
things well in practice and takes care of the ball, too."

Fields· · is still 'a· dream'
by
J.W. STEWART
Sports Editor
Sitting among· her teddy bears,
Charlene Fields is very much at
home
Like her smiling-bears, Fields is
quiet, almost bordering on the shy.
"I
think I generally am (a shy
person)," said the . soft-spoken
senior guard from Schenectady,
N.Y.
"If
I get to know someone,
I
can be real talkative. Butoutgo-
ing crazy-wise, I'm not that type of
person."
While she may. be quiet off the
court, she is the complete opposite
on the court -
except it is her ac-
tions that speak volumes, not her
words.
"I 'II
never have that quickness,"
marvelled junior Cindy Carroll.
"I
remember watching her play when
I
was recruited and saying, 'Wow!
That girl can shoot!' "
"On the court, even though she
doesn't ·talk a whole lot, she's a
leader," explained sophomore Lori
Keys. "When you need someone to
score, you look to her. And when
the game's on the.line, you definite-
ly give it to her."
Fields has even made an impres-
sion on the fresh
'
men.
"She has an awe about her,'\
saidStacey Dengler. "l,t'sthe type
:of, player you'd always want to
be."
.
.
Using her quickness and dead-
eye shooting, Fields poured in 497
points last year, the second-highest
season point total iri the history of
the pr,egram.
After averaging 17 .8 points a
game, she is only 80 points away
from • breaking the I ,000-point
mark for her career. Chances are
she will get her 1
;000
points at the
University of San Francisco Classic
just before Christmas.

Fields may have the chance to do
better than she already has -
she
is within reach of becoming the
women's all-time leading scorer.
Currently, she is fifth.on the list
but would have to average 20

Scrappy veteran has seen

Andy Lake has been through it
all.
The fifth yea'r senior, who red-
shirted his freshmen year, has ex-
perienced both winning and losing
during his career at Marist.
After two consecutive losing
seasons, Lake believes the team will
have learned from its past. ex-
periences and will have a successful
season. "We won't lose any of the
close games," he said. "W,e've all
become more mentally tough. We
know how to win now."
If the Red Foxes are going to
·post a winning season, a lot of it
will
depend on Lake's performance
both on and off the court. Head
Coach
Dave Magarity said Lake's
experience will help him and the
team this upcoming season.

gram,'.' !l!! sai4., "H1:1.

<
·
·
- Magarity feels Lake established
himself as the team's leader after
the Wagner game last year when
Lake scored a career-high
27
points
despite having an intestinal
virus.
"He had to leave the game a few
times to throw up," the seventh-
year coach said. ''He just wouldn't
quit.·
'' Andy wouldn't let the guys quit
or relax," he added. "He helped
them through the tough times."
Magarity also said'Lake was an
integral part of the team's late-
season championship run. ·
The numbers seem to support
Magarity's assessment as Lake
reached the 20-point plateau in
seven of his last 11 games. Lake
downplayed his· performance
against Wagner and said it goes
with the territory of being a basket-
ball player. <'You just learn how to
play with stuff like that," he said.
"We couldn't afford · to have
anyone sit out. Being sick niade me
concentrate a little harder."
·
This summer, Lake traveled to
Cuba with the People~To-People
All-Star Team where he faced
Olympic teams from Argentina,
Mexico and Cuba. He teamed with
. Corey Alexander, from Virginia, at
the guard spot and _averaged 12
points a game.
Lake said playing in the summer
All-Star classic helped him become
a better player.~!-!Hhink it picked

a
··Iitile,"
he said.
"When
I
play against better
players, my play improves."
Lalce said this year he has been
working on using the head fake and
penetrating to the basket more
often. However, Lake is at his best
when he is behind the three-point
line.
Lake, who averaged 15.8 points
a game last year, scored the majori-
ty of his points from three-point
range.
His 81 three-point baskets and
his
A43 shooting percentage behind
the three-point stripe are both
school records. ·
When Lake discusses shooting,
he talks about terms like "shooting
groove" a_nd "getting into·a zone."
"If
you get it going, the adrenalin
starts flowing," he said. "The ball
feels great everytime you catch it."
After coaching Lake for four
years, Magarity knows his strength
-
the three-point shot.
However, Lake is more than just
a three-point shooter -
he's the
team leader.
Freshman Kareem
Hill
said Lake
has helped him get adjusted to the
team's style of play. "He gives me
a
couple of tips that will help me
improve
my
game," _ the
6-foot-6-inch forward said. "He
helps me out and directs me."
Lake said playing some point
guard during his tenure has helped
him expand his offensive game.
"It's improved my ballhandling
and shooting off the dribble," he
said. "Anytime you get
to
play two
positions it's good for your game."
Lake said the reasons he was red-
shined in 1988 was because he pull-
ed his hamstring and four other
guards were ahead of him.
Magarity is glad Lake is still in
a
Marist uniform. "I've made
mistakes here and there," he said.
"But I'm glad I've redshirted
Lake_.''
