Eighty-nine percent of Marist's
Class of 1990 have succeeded in
finding a job, according to the 1990
Outcomes Report released by the
Career Development and Field Ex-
perience Office.
The annual report, compiled
through the use of questionnaires
and telephone interviews from Oc-
tober 1990 to September 1991,
shows 41 percent of the 89 percent
with jobs are working in a field
related to their major. Twenty-
three percent of those employed
said they are in a field somewhat
related to their major.
Thirty-six percent of the
graduates with jobs are working in
a
field unrelated to their
undergraduate major, the report
said.
The report also states 12 percent
of the Class of 1990 went on to
graduate school and six percent re-
main unemployed.

Brokaw declines
Search continues for
graduation speaker
by
MEGAN MCDONNELL
Senior Editor
While Marist seniors search for the ultimate vacation
spot
for spring
break, the college will continue its search for what many students
see
as a key -component of the graduation ceremony -
a commencement
speaker.
The college has already made at least one contact, according to Shaileen
Kopec, vice president for College Advanceme_nt.

.
"I have received an answer, and we're movmg ahead, said Kopec.
That answer came from Tom Brokaw, NBC anchorman and news cor-
respondent, whose daughter's college graduation falls ~m May_ 16, the
same day as Marist's, according to Maureen Tosner, vice president of
the senior class
.
"The commencement committee said we'd have a good chance with
Brokaw because Marist had a connection," she said.
Brokaw attended the Lowell Thomas award ceremony sponsored by
Marist last June in New York City.
Alex Haley author of "Roots," also under consideration for this year's
commencem;nt speaker and honorary-degree recipient, died of a heart
attack Monday at age 70.

Connery tries, but fails, in
By
BRIAN MCNELIS
Sean Connery is a great actor, it's a shame
the same can't be said of his ability to choose
what movies to appear in. His latest,
"Medicine Man," is just such an example
of that.
Connery has a long and fabled history in
Hollywood. He has never been afraid to try
different roles, some of these have been suc-
cessful while others have not. This latest role
will have to rank as one of his more unsuc-
cessful attempts.
In "Medicine Man" Connery plays a
scientist who has turned his back on socie-
ty, he lives and works deep in the South
American jungle with a primitive tribe of
natives. The film starts with a female scien-
tist, played by Lorraine Bracco, going to join
Connery in the jungle because he has asked
for a research assistant.

Connery is mediocre in the lead at best.
The real downfall of the film though is the

The film also makes some telling comments

probably the only two positive things I can
say about the film.
I'll give high marks to Connery for at least

Heart, hormones, homicide:
'Final Analysis' hds it all
by
MARC LIEPIS
As most of us know, tomorrow
is Valentine's Day ... or Black Fri-
day as some have called it (myself,
of course, not included).
It
is a day
for the heart. In honor of that, we
have a movie about heart, head,
hormonal, and homicidal conflict.
The film is "Final Analysis,"
directed by Phil Joanou (who made
U2's "Rattle and Hum," "State Of
Grace," and the must-rent teen
film, "Three O'Clock High") and
written by Wesley Strick (who
penned Scorsese's unforgettable
"Cape Fear," "True Believer" -
another must-rent, and is current-
ly working on the eagerly awaited
"Batman Returns").
Thrillers are the hardest kinds of
films to review. The more I tell
you, the less effective the movie is.
Surprise is everything to the'
thriller's success. So, you're going
to have to trust me on this
one
despite the minimal info.
"Final Analysis" is about a
psychiatrist, Dr. Isaac Barr
(Richard Gere), whose attractive
patient, Diana (played by Uma, or
is it Umaaah, Thurman), urges him
to meet with her sister, Heather
(Kim Basinger doing some of her·
best work to date).
Gere's Dr. Barr must've seen
"The Prince of Tides" and figured,
"Hey, Streisand and Nolte's
doctor-patient (or sibling of pa-
tient) relationship was pretty cool,
so why not?" Either that or he just
got a good look at Basinger. My
money's on number two.
Needless to say, with Basinger
and Gere alone together. .. you get
the picture. But in case you don't
-
Hot! Steamy! Sweaty! (I really
need to get out more). Bottom line:
this is not a movie to see with Ma
and Pa.
The problem is that Heather is
married to an obsessive, possessive
Greek gangster-type, Jimmy Evans
(played ~ith scary edginess by Eric
Roberts, Julia's brother. She clear-
ly got the looks, but he got most
of the talent).
The movie's pace is ·relatively
slow and easy for the first half, but
when Jimmy wirids up face down
in a jacuzzi, the film kicks into high
gear, becoming a
feverish
Hitchcock-style thriller.
The key to enjoying this movie
is sticking with it through the first
half because it does tend to drag a
bit with only Roberts' character for
suspense (a job he is certainly up
to). The head games that fill up the
second half are well worth waiting
for.
Surprising plot twists and
Joanou's stylish look to the finale
make "Final Analysis" come alive.
Again, great performances by

(Paul Guilfoye), who shines during
the murder trial. Relax, I'm not

On the lower side of the totem

Meanwhile, on the bottom of the
barrel ("Freejack" - sorry, I had

job hunt is
over
budget process
by
DONNA SICLARI
Staff Writer
Megan Flanagan knows the
recession will not affect her and she
is not looking for a job after
graduation -
anymore.
Flanagan, an accounting major
from Queens,
N.Y.,
sent out her
resumes, went on job interviews
and accepted an offer with one of
the big six accounting firms, Ernst
and Young in White. Plains, last
semester .
"Of course it is a great feeling,"
she said. "I don't have that added
pressure to find a job. While
everyone else is preparing for inter-
views, I can focus on my classes
and my future plal!s."
While many Marist seniors are
beginning their journey of job hun-
ting -
printing resumes, ~c~nning
classifieds, preparing for interviews
and worrying how the recession\vill
affect them -
some, like
Flanagan, are without these
pressures, having secured jobs for
themselves after graduation.
Accurate numbers of seniors
with "jobs lined up are difficult to
find since many do not report them
to the Office of Career Develop-
ment and Field Experience, accor-
ding to the director, Deidre Sepp.
However,
15
percent of seniors
have some type of job or graduate
school planned months before their
graduation, Sepp said.
She said on the average it takes
a person six to _nine months to find
a job and students who have jobs
already probably have them
because of a combination of intui-
- tion, hard work and some luck.
"It
is never easy," Sepp said.
"Finding a job is a time consum-
ing process.
It
takes a lot of time
and energy.
It
can
be
weary on
your emotions."
Most seniors who currently have
secured jobs are in the accounting,
computer science or banking fields
and used _
the Office of Career
Development's
on-campus
recruiting program, since many of
these firms have early hiring
practices.
Cathy Mahland, an accounting
major from Queens, N. Y., receiv-
ed offers from three of the big six
accounting firms -
two of these
were because of on-campus
recruiting.
"Career Development definitely
helped me to get a foot in the
door," she said. "But, the rest was
left up to me."
Mahland decided to work for
Coopers and Lybrand in New York
City- her first choice.
"I'm very happy because I got
what I wanted," she said. "I'll be
in the city and closer to home. I
guess maybe I am lucky."
Some other employed seniors got
their jobs because of contacts they
made through internships or
previous summer work.
Nancy Petrucci,
a
business per-
sonnel major from Verona, N.J.,
got a job with the company where
she's been working summers and
winter breaks, ever since her first
year of college.
Petrucci, who will be working
for North East Equipment in Cedar ·
Groove, N .J., as an office
manager,.said: "I always wanted a
position in management, so in
essence I got what I wanted. I know
• the type of work I

it is close to my home. I'll probably

The Financial Board will experi-
ment with a program on Monday
that will allow clubs to submit their
budgets on diskettes instead of
paper.
This program will have a trial-
run at Grievance Night to see if it
will be used in the future. Clubs re-
submit their budget-requests on
Grievance Night to receive more
money for planned activities.
The diskettes are part of a lotus
program designed to make the
budget process more efficient.
Steve Sansola, assistant dean for
student affairs, said the program
uses
current
and
existing
technology which will reduce the
amount of paperwork.
John A. Federico, financial
board chair, came up with the idea
for the program and Antonella

Staff Writer
Tau Kappa Epsilon's annual
Meet Market has changed its name
to the Meet Marist Market because
of regualations mandated by the
Council of Student Leaders on Jan.
23.
The
Meet Marist Market, a TKE
fund-raising
auction
where
students bid for dates with par-
ticipants, ran into problems this fall
when TKE proposed the event to
the College Activities Office, said
TKE President Ed Ryan.
According to Matt Thomson,
student body president, a number
of people had gone to Bob Lynch,
director of college activities, with
complaints about the Market, say-
ing it degraded women and pro-
moted date rape.
Individuals who were concerned
about the Market were Sister

also give their written consent to

Thomson said he spoke with
TKE and the individuals who com-
plained about the Market, and held
around four meetings before both
sides could come to an agreement
on stipulations.
Under CSL's stipulations, TKE
is required to have sign-up sheets

In
the
past, dates have been un-

would provide date-chaperones if
asked.

Students have mixed reactions
towards Democratic candidate,
Gov. Bill Clinton's plan to combine
the pay back of student loans with
national or public service.
Clinton's plan would allow
students to borrow money for col-

proportion of their income at a
time, or by working for two ·or-·

New Paltz· students en-
joyed a longer winter break this

sacrificing their spring break.
"I'm actually losing money that

Classes resumed two weeks later
than usual this semester because of
the dangerous release of PCBs on
campus after the explosion of a
transformer in one dormitory led
to
a chain reaction in five other
buildings.
Some students had planned to
take a vacation during spring
break, while others would have us-
ed the time to make some extra
money.
To make up for lost time,
students are required to attend
classes during the week that was
designated to be their spring break.

"I'm not only mad about that,"
Strathmann said, "Classes are
overcrowded, teachers are speeding
up work and we can't get to the

have to go to different buildings."
Other students who did not have
anything planned for thatWeek will
not be effected by the lost time.

Ballston Lake,

at Marist
College Radio said last Thursday
that station professionalism and
popularity on campus are the goals
for this semester.
Colleen Murphy,
WMCR
secretary and public-service an-
nouncer, was one of eight
management-staff members who
spoke about the changes at a
meeting of
50
people who are in-
terested in working at the station.
A random poll of on-campus
students revealed that very few
listen to the radio regularly.
"I
only listen sometimes," said
Matt Martin, a sophomore from
Somers, Conn., "but
I
try to avoid
it. I'm not into that Ne,v Age
stuff."
One of the most frequent com-
plaints the station receives is about
its alternative music format, said
Kraig De Matteis, program
director.
"WMCR is a station for people
who are tired of listening to the
same 12 songs on the radio," said
De Matteis, a junior from Belle
Harbor, N.Y.
According to Aaron Ward, news
director, most people think that the
station is composed of social
outcasts.
"People think that we
are
freaks
due to the format," said Ward, a
junior from Saratoga Springs,
N.Y.
However, the station is not
strictly alternative music. WMCR
airs several specialty shows from
jazz blues
to
heavy metal to classic
rock.
Jim O'Toole, sales director, said
that before last spring break, the
station could only be reached
through a cable hook-up.
He also said that there were on-
ly about 50 listeners.

Unfortunately, Cupid has not
worked hard enough to make this
Valentine's day a cherished day for
lovers ... at least not at Marist.
While Feb. 14 is supposed to be
a day full of red roses, pink hearts,
and romantic dinners, some
students said they believe it's just
no day of magic if
not
shared with
anyone.
"lfyou do have a boyfriend, you
like it," said sophomore Denise
Mauro of Farmingdale,
N.Y.,
"but
if you don't, you keep a low pro-
file."
Some refuse to go near colors
such as red and white on Valen-
tine's Day.
Leeann Levi, a senior from
Milford, Conn., said she is going
to wear black.
"It's a morbid holiday if you
don't have anybody," she said.
There are also students who have
•
the "sort of" -
but not quite -
committed hearts.
"It's
definitely overrated and a
waste of money, but
I
still break
down and buy a gift for my
girlfriend,"
said
George
Delegianis, a freshman from
Rockville Centre, N.Y. "I'm giv-
ing in to peer pressure
I
guess."
Cindy Donaldson, a senior from
Danbury, Conn., also said that the
holiday is overrated; but she likes
it.
"People make a big fuss over it,
but it's also romantic," she said.
However, Cupid's efforts didn't
totally go without reward, getting
one student right through the heart.
"I think Valentine's day is a fun
and special day," said Tommy
Cronin, a senior from Woodlawn,
N.Y. "It's almost a day to reflect
on the relationship you're in which
can spark some good memories."

During the recent economic

part time jobs in the Poughkeep-

"Seven percent unemployment

The voting members of CSL pass-
ed a proposal on December 13, 1991
to put a moratorium on clubs that are
awaiting to be chartered. Many
students are questioning as to why we
did· this. The main reason for this
moratorium was to "clean house" on
the existing clubs on campus. Already,
Forensic Union and Amnesty Interna-
tional were dechartered due to a lack
of interest and in leadership.
Many interested students have ap-
proached the Activities Office m
regards to start a new club/organiza-
tion on campus. This list includes:
American Chemical Society, Slavic
Club Asian American Club, Marist
Band, Students Promoting Racial
Awareness, Zeta Beta Tau, Delta Delta
Delta, Sigma Phi Ro, and Sigma Tau
Gamma. On the intramural level: golf
and women's lacrosse and field
hockey. That is a total of twelve clubs.
Keep that number in mind as you look
at our current problems.
There is a limited space for meetings
and for events. As Dean Cox points
out, "it is hard for Student Gov~rnment
and the Activities Office to facilitate all
these organizations due to limited
manpower." All of these proble~s
have placed a damper on managing
the current club/organization on cam-
pus. It is no easy task. We can not con-
tinue to charter clubs until we deter-
mine if the constitution referendum
passes. We cannot grow indefinitely.
It must be a rational process sup-
ported by a management oriented
system. The establishment of the SGA
will
be
a big help.
Hypothetically, if we were to charter
all twelve clubs/organization right now
-
under the current CSL structure -
we would
be
increasing our problem.

port them? Where would these clubs
meet when our current student center
is limited in its space availability? Have
we reached a saturation point for
clubs?
To alleviate this situation, CSL voted
to extend the moratorium from
February 7th to February 14th, the day
of the referendum. Hopefully, with your
support, the passing of a new student
governance, to better protect and
serve your rights as students, will be
implemented. If two-thirds of the
students voting approve of such gover-
nance, than those patiently-awaiting
clubs may start the process to obtain
a charter.
Student Government would like to
inform you that all of its board
meetings gave been and will continue
to be open to all students. We meet
8:30 a.m. on Thursdays, in the Student
Government Office in Campus Center.
CSL would like to thank those clubs
who were in attendance at the Club
Conference.
Remember, if you have any ques-
tions, comments, or concerns- please
come and speak to us or call x2206.
We are your student leaders. Voice
your concerns -
we are always
listening.

The new constitution, if ratified, will more than double the number
of governmental positions students can hold. These positions
will
have more well-defined roles so students understand exactly what
their responsibilities are.
Now it's just a question of finding students who want those
responsibilities.
President urges students to vote
There's a lot of good, practical reasons why a Marist student
should want to get involved in student government or other activities.
It's great experience. It improves time-management and interpersonal
skills. And it looks great on a resume.
But, going beyond pragmatics, there's another reason why students
should become involved in their community. Students should par-
t~cipate because it is important to them. Students should vote respon-
sibly or seek office because ingrained in their consciousness should
be a fund~me!1tal horror at the thought of putting one's own per-
sonal destmy m the hands of others and then apathetically turning
away.
QUESTION 1
QUESTION 2
Editor:
As
Marist College prepares for the student
referendum tomorrow, I would like to ex-
press a few personal thoughts which you may
take at face value.
First, every Marist student should vote;
one way or the other. There is really no ex-
cuse for students who do not exercise this
right. The changes are not exclusionary; they
affect everyone.
Apathy has absolutely no place here.
Although its affects are seen in the masses,
apathy starts with the individual. As I see it,
one of the reasons we are pursuing higher
education is to broaden our horizons in
preparation for our eventual place in socie-
ty. Am I being over-dramatic? Not really.
In my four years here, I have seen
apathetic students try co put a damper on
campus events. I would strongly recommend
that those students re-examine their own
priorities. These are vital years of develop-
ment and bad habits are hard to kick. The
real world is much less patient.
A few months back, at the beginning of
my administration, I mentioned in a student
•

would not

comfortable expecting something in return
from the student body until my board learn-
ed responsibility. Since then, they have been
a quiet service and, probably unknown to the
majority of students, have sacrificed a great
deal of their own time to protect and look
after your own interests. They are not look-
ing for pats on the back -
only a little
respect for the work they feel is for the bet-
terment of the school.

responsible, and so I

Vote tomorrow! Not because I am asking
you but because you see where I am com-
ing 'from and have been waiting for the
chance to make a difference. The potential
of the individual should never be
underestimated. Is there such a thing as hope
if it is wasted?
If
you don't yet understand the referen-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A TMs on campus are worthless
Editor:
One of the most frustrating
things here at Marist College is the
A TM machines located in Donnelly
and at The Bank of New York.
Personally,
I
am sick and tired of
not being able to gain access to my
own money.
The fact
is,
neither the Bank of
New York nor the Mid Hudson
Savings Bank have done anything
to make bank transactions easy for
the students living on the cam-
pus. Each weekend, rain or
shine,these machines are out of
order leaving students stranded
without monev.
-
''
l
have made verbal complaints to
both banks and have received un-
satisfactory answers from them. I
seriously do not believe that the
reason why I can't get money from
the machine every weekend is
because my bank closes the com-
puter down to balance out its ac-
counts and therefore, the
A TM
machine cannot get access to my
money (MHSB).
I also find it hard to swallow that
the the bank is working on it but
there is nothing they can do right
now (B of NY).
I want action. I worked hard for
that money and I want to be able
to get it when ever I want it-
weekend or not. I deserve better
service than that and so do the
otl,ler students here at the college.
If it is a known fact that these
machines break down on the
weekend, then both banks should
do something about it. Either hire
someone to check on the machines
several times on the weekend or im-
prove the quality of the A TMs so
this kind of thing doesn't happen.
I
am urging that other
students
on campus voice or write their
complaints to both of the banks.
By doing nothing, we are just as
guilty as the banks. We deserve bet-
ter service from these banks and
their machines but it looks like the
only way we are going to get it is
to fight for it.

Editor:
I
would like to respond to a let-
ter to the editor that appeared in
the Jan.30, 1992 issue of The Cir-
cle. The letter title "Prisoner
speaks out," was written by Mr.
Wilson Briggs, who is currently ser-
ving time in the Shawangunk cor-
rectional facility.
It seems that Mr. Briggs is very
interested in what life is like on a
college campus and would like to
have an opportunity to "experience
the rewards of university life."
As a reader, I got the impression
that Mr. Briggs was very sincere in
his statements and although it
seems to me that Mr. Briggs may
·
be ready to be partially reintroduc-
ed into society, it would be an
unacceptable risk to offer an
"educational release" program to
prisoners.
More times than not,
ill-
intentioned individuals would take
advantage of such a program and
put too many people in danger. As
a result, Mr. Briggs must also pay
'the price to avoid this risk, since he
did do something against society's
standards.
I feel very luck that
I
am able to
pursue a college education and
I
have worked hard to be able to get
-
here. Although Mr. Briggs and I
may have had different oppor-
tunities in our lives,
l
firmly believe
everyone has a sense of what is
right and what is wrong.
If Mr. Briggs is so concerned
about what college life is about, he
should have considered that before
he committed his crime.
I
am also willing to bet that
many students at Marist have made
numerous sacrifices to come to
Marist to get their college educa-
tion. What has Mr. Briggs done to
get his education? He broke the law
and was sent to prison.
We not only pay for our educa-
tion, but for his as welt. Further-
more, when he is not in class, he
has the option of a wide variety of
recreational activities like lifting
weights or watching cable tv.
He wonders why people have a
negative image of prisoners? We
pay for our food, he gets his free.
We pay for our books, he gets his
free. In fact, I bet the only thing
Mr. Briggs doesn't have in prison
is the freedom to leave.
Yes, giving up freedom is a big
price to pay, however, when so-
meone breaks the law in a serious
manner, one should be punished
accordingly.
Prisoners should stare at three
grey walls and iron bars, not at
HBO. These men and women
betrayed society when they were
part of it, yet, they expect the nor-
mal benefits that are not rights but
privileges.
I am not saying that prisoners
should be treated in any inhumane
manner, but I see nothing wrong
with hard labor and making them
pay for their crimes. Should we
rehabilitate prisoners? Yes!
Should we give them college
educations and all the conveniences
of life? No way!
If
people are not willing to put
anything into society, then they
should not reap even the simple
benefits that the rest of us earn by
the sweat of our brow.

by
AMY ELLEN BEDFORD
There appears to be a little con-
fusion as to how I write this
column.
The inspiration can range from
ridiculous antics on the part of my
housemates (a definite plethora of
material, I don't even have
to
make
stuff up) to a last-ditch effort to
find something funny about Mon-
day morning (the time
at
which the
story is due each week).

side · to
breakfast, you guys have been
spared.
Friday night at Skinner's (as op-
posed to the Library), I believe the
silliness of the weekend got the bet-
ter of us all, as I realized people
were auditioning for column space.
"Listen to this joke," someone
said to me.
"If
it's really funny, do
you think l'I\ make it in next week's
issue?"
Of course it would.
I
try to write about anything fun-
ny on the minds of Marist students
(there's a joke in that statement
somewhere). The only problem is
that for the life of me
I
can't
remember the joke.
Now, if the audition had been
coupled with a little soft-shoe
choreography and a kick line,
perhaps it would have been more
memorable.
The comments l receive about
this column range from "Hey,
Aim, when are you
going
into
rehab?" (to that I
say,
you were at
a bar when you asked, so speak for
yourself).
Why are
we the only
ones laughing
Another one goes, "Nice try, but
that really
wasn't funny." Alright,
that
last one was a tamer version
of
"constructive
criticism" but you
get the idea.
To make a long story even
longer,
I
am sure that my
sometimes
senseless diatribes have
failed to address certain important
topics.
Tell me what I miss.
I cringe for the day when I fall
flat on my face in the middle of the
bar because I know somehow,
someway, it
will
be printed in the
paper.
Open auditions will continue to
be held. The line for the women's
bathroom in Skinner's is long
enough for me to hear a verbatim
recitation of "War
and
Peace."
I'll
be waiting.

events for this semester, according
to Bob Lynch, director of college
activities.
Last Monday night, Jennifer
Nicols, whose brother, Henri, has
AIDS, spoke in the Marist Theatre.
·
College activities will also sponsor
an AIDS table on Earth Day, April
25, with a representative from the
medical field sitting at the table to
answer students' questions.
Lynch said he believes these pro-
grams areimportant because they
inform students that AIDS affects
everyone, said Lynch.
"It's not just one type of person
that gets AIDS,'
.
' said Lynch. "It's
your family, your friends, your co-
workers; it's society."
Bard is also doing its part to
educate its students by offering a
class on STD's, providing a!) active
AIDS committee and teaching an
STD workshop during freshmen
orientation, said Skiba.
Bard's AIDS committee was
established in
1989 and sponsors
BUDGETS

The budget process begin with
the clubs submitting their budget-
request the semester prior to when
they want the money. Clubs attend
Grievance Night when they don't
gree with the monies they are
Jlocated in their budgets by the
Board.
The requests are first reviewed
nd allotted money by the Board
nd then go to the Council of Stu-
ent Leaders (CSL) for final
pproval.
The amount of money given to
lubs is determined by the amount
f money the club is asking for and
ow financially-feasible the request

The money comes from the
stu-
ent activity-fee which recently-

said
Skiba.

The committee is made up of
students, teachers, members from
the health service and a member of
the counseling department, said
Skiba.
In the future, Bard's Counseling
Service would like to set up group
counseling for anyone who is
either
HIV-positive, or has a family
member or friend
'
who is
HIV-positive.
· Vassar College offers a variety of
AIDS-programming on campus
such as panel discussions, lectures,
AIDS-education
workshops,
AIDS-information tables in the
main hall giving out free condoms
and this semester, plans to have a
Bla~k and White Ball which will
serve as an AIDS-benefit, said
Irena Balawajder, director ol
Vassar's Health Services.
·
The college also has two commit-
tees on campus, the AIDS Educa-
tion Committee and Choice.
The AEC, active for four years
at Vassar and composed of
students, faculty and administra-
tion, schedules AIDS-related lec-
tures, panel- discussions, art shows
and has had alumni speak about
the HIV-virus in the college's main
building, said Balwajder.
Choice, composed of students, is
a
peer education group, which
meets once a week and is available
by phone to talk to students about
AIDS. The group organized free
condoms for freshmen and is plan-
ning right now for Valentine's Day
with Condom-grams being sent to
students.
Health Services will also be run-
ning an AIDS-education workshop

She also said that the college has
not had a speaker lined up this ear-
ly since she came here in
1987.
"It's natural for the students to
be anxious for an answer," said
Berger. "Whenever you're not
directly involved in the doing,
you're antsy about what the out-
come will be." ·
She said that although this year's
process is not slow-moving, it is
moving more slowly than the com-
mittee would like it to be.
"Our job is to see that
everything is in line," said Berger.
"If
the wheels aren't turning, we
try to turn them
a
little faster."
Although sending out two letters
at once might speed up the process,
it would not be fair to the speaker,
she said.
According tQ Berger, the com-
mittee met right after last year's
commencement to see what went
right and what went wrong, and it
has been meeting bi-weekly ever
since.
·
"The process is moving ahead,"
said Kopec. "We're all eager to
come to closure on this, but it's not
something that gets accomplished
immediately."
After the committee gives a
name to the advancement office, it
is sent to President Dennis J. Mur-
ray and his cabinet for approval.
"We've never nor had a
speaker /honorary-degree reci-
pient," said Kopec, "and that's
what's important."

According to Kopec, the college
will notify the students as soon as
a speaker is found, which could be
as late as April.
"We have to find a speaker who
will communicate well and mean-
ingfully to the students," she said.
Last year's commencement
speaker was Peter
G. W. Keen, ex-
ecutive director of the International
Center
for
Information
Technologies, while Fred Friendly,
educator and journalist, addressed
the class of
1990.
Chandler said when the first con-
tact declined, the committee chose
another name from the original list.
"This person
will
be just as
good," she said.
A court case involving a Marist
student
charged with criminal
trespass in the second degree has
been adjourned until next month,
according to Town of Poughkeep-
sie

Wives survive season's ups and downs
Support important for Mrs. Magarity
by
MIKE O'FARRELL
Sports Editor
Growing up with four sisters and
·a
single
mother, Rita Magarity was never really in-
terested in
spores.
"I was more interested in being a ma-
jorette or a kick dancer," the Pittsburgh, Pa.
native said. "We weren't
a
sports oriented
family."
.
Times have changed.
Now, sports are an integral pan of her life.
As the wife of men's basketball Head
Coach Dave Magarity, she can't be any
closer to the action.
"l enjoy going to the games. In fact, I us-
ed to have nails before the FDU game," she
said referring to cite Red Foxes recent last-
second loss. "That was such an exciting
game to watch."
The Magaritys met while in college. Both
attended St. Francis (Pa.) and their paths
crossed
when he was an assistant coach and
she worked in the athletic office.
When Magarity was named head coach,
she was his
secretary_
and the rest as they say,
is history.
_
Describing what it takes to be a coach's
wife, Mrs.-Magarity displayed a poem ..
The first two stanzas read: I'm a coach's
wife I'm proud to say. I'm by his side come
what may. h's a life of sharing many things;
Scouring, recruiting, losses, wins."
"That describes it perfectly," she said.
·
"There
is more to his job than just games.
He is away on recruiting trips and scouting
trips -
he has a hectic schedule."
Mrs. Magarity, who usually attends every
home game, said there is only one instance
when she is bothered by hecklers.
"I try and control myself at the games,"
she said. "But, there is always someone with
something bad to say;
"It
doesn't usually bother me, but it does
when the kids are with me," s)le said.
·
The Magarity's have three children:
Maureen 10, Katie
8
and David Jr.,
6.
·
Mrs. Magarity said she gets upset when the
fans don't give the players enough support.
"Some people have created high expecta-
tions based on a couple of successful years
and they don't give these kids enough credit
for their hard work," she said. "I get upset
over that."
The coach said his wife is a negative per-
son -
drawing a laugh from his wife.
"I'm negative because
I
see how hard he
works and people don't understand a lot of
things," she said. "They only see the games
and they sometimes base judgment solely on
the result."
Mrs.
Magarity, who keeps busy by
teaching Spanish part-time at the junior high
level as well as working toward her master's
degree at Marist and serving on the PTA at
her childrens'
school,
said finding time for
a
family vacation or a sit-down dinner is not
always
easy.
"Sundays are normally our family dinner
day, the kids look forward to it," she said.
"Traditional holidays are also difficult for
us, but the kids understand. They are used
to the hectic schedule."
As a coach's wife, Mrs. Magarity said she
has learned to be independent.
"A
coach's wife can do anything,"
she
said. "Besides,
I
either do it myself or
I
pay
double."
That is especially true now. Before the
start of last season, Magarity was cleaning
gutters when he fell off a ladder and required
a sling for his arm and stitches for his chin.
A few weeks ago, Magarity pulled a mus-
cle in his back moving a piece of furniture
for his wife.
"It
sounds like I'm a whip-cracker," she
said with a smile. "But,
I
just try and have
him help me when he is around the house."
Living in Dutches
_
s County has been a
positive experience because it is a real
com-
munity environment, said the coach's wife.
,
•~1 Jove Poughkeepsie, I feel close to peo-
ple here," she said. "I know who is there no
matter what. happens -
those are the- peo-
ple I will always remember. They are the peo-
·
pie that understand
_
.everything
and aren't
just your friend when the team is winning."
Mrs. Babineau adjusts to hoop life
by
J.
W. STEWART
Staff Writer
While her husband paces up and down the
sidelines of the McCann Center, Melanie
Babineau sits quietly in the stands behind the
women's basketball bench.
While he frantically waves his arms in an
attempt to gain the attention of his players,
she glances from one end of the
court
to the
other, surveying the action.
And as he pumps his fist and exchanges
high-fives with his team, she claps and leans
over to talk to one of the player's parents.
When lhe game is over, she says goodbye
to those sitting around her, gathers up her
things, speaks briefly with her husband and
looks to see where her 11-year-old daughter
is. She then proceeds upstairs to her hus-
band's office to wait for him.
Her husband, of course, is Ken Babineau,
head coach of the Red Foxes. And for
Melanie Babineau, game night at Mccann
or anywhere else is something she has
become used to in her 17-year marriage.
"He's always been a coach," she said.
"He's away
more
here than he was in high
school. Our lives have always revolved
around sports.''
Sports has been the focus of their life, it
seems, ever since they first met back in the
early 1970s.

bad for someone who grew up disliking
basketball.

·
"I'm five-feet tall," she said with a laugh.
.
"It was not something
I
was good at.
I
was
a cheerleader, instead."
· She also fulfills the role of mother and
wife, which can be a full-time job in itself._
After the women's last home game, she swit-
ched from cheering in the stands to calmly
answering her husband's anxious questions.
"Where's Brooke?" he asked, referring to
their only child.
-
"Downstairs playing basketball."
"Where's J.J.'s (Assistant Coach Jeanine
Radice's) radio?"
"I brought
it
up with me. It's in your of-
fice."
The day after the women won their first
game after suffering through an 0-12 st~rt,
Melanie Babineau wanted to do somethmg
special for him. So, she sent a bouquet of
flowers to her husband and the rest of the
team with a card that read:
Congratulations! We knew you could do
it -
Melanie and Brooke
She, too, knows of the rigors of coaching.
The former stand-out gymnast, field hockey
player and swimll!er has coach~ g~mnast!cs,
track and swimmmg at some pomt m her hfe.
"I
understand the pressures of coaching.
I
have a little bit of insight as to what it is
like,"
·the
38-year-old said.
Her understanding is what her husband
appreciates the most.
·
"She·gives me a lot of leeway," he said.
"She accepts the fact that
l
won't be in the
best of moods. Most people would be upset
that
I
spend a lot of time on the road."
While she has become accustomed to her
lifestyle, it does not stop her of dreaming of
a change.
·
"We came here with the thought of being
here two or three years," she said. "We've
been here
17. I
like it here, but if we want
to move, we should do it before Brooke hits
high school."
For now though,. Melanie Babineau is hap-
py where she is -
teaching middle school
and being surrounded by a sport she never
thought she'd be around.

When the men's basketball team takes the floor for tonight's game
against Mount SL Mary's, it will be trying to halt a five-game losing streak .
-
including three straight road losses.
Tuesday night's 88~87 overtime loss to Fairleigh Dickinson was also
the Red Foxes' fourth straight Northeast Conference Joss, dropping
Marist to
7-15
overall
and
5-6 in
conference play.
The Red Foxes are currently in sixth place in the Northeast Conference
- a half-game ahead of Long Island University who is in seventh place.
Fairleigh Dickinson is second in the NEC.
All five of Marist's remainirig games are against conference opponents.
And only two of those games are at the Mccann Center.
After tonight's game, Marist will get a well-deserved week off before
returning to the Mccann Center next Thursday to host St. Francis
(NY).
Two nights ago, the Red Foxes dropped their second one
0
point loss
of the season to Fairleigh Dickinson.
January 30, Marist could not hold a nine point lead in the waning
minutes and
fell
to the Knights, 70-69.
Trailing by four points at the half, 36-32, the Red Foxes rallied to take
a seven-point lead, 58-51 midway through the second half.
With four minutes remaining, a three-pointer by FDU's Brad McClain
tied the game at 65-65.
Marist tied the game at the buzzer on a layup by Izett Buchanan, who
finished the game with 16 points and
IO
rebounds.
In the overtime period, it was McClain -
who is known for having
big games against the Red Foxes - who Jed the Knights with five points.
Jhe Red Foxes almost sent the game into double overtime as Dexter
Dunbar buried a jump shot at the buzzer. Dunbar's jumper, however,
was taken just inside the three-point arc and was only a two-point basket.
Andy Lake again led the Red Fox offensive attack. The junior tallied
22 points. Dunbar added 15 points for Dave Magarity's club and Tom
Fit~imons chipped in with 14.
·
McClain led the Knights with 23 points. Wendell Brereton, who scored
the winning.hoop in the first meeting of the two teams, added 19 points
-
13
in the second half.
The Joss w~ the third straight for the Foxes on their grueling road trip.
Last Saturday, Marist capped off the Western Pennsylvania leg of the
trip with a four~point loss to league leader Robert Morris, 73-69.
Despite playing the top two conference teams (FDU and Robert Mor-.
, .. ris) tough, Marist could not take advantage of the league's last place team.
Marist started off the road-s~ing wi~h a i02-941i~s to St. Francis (Pa.)
last Thursday.
·

·
Trailing the entire game, Marist cut the Red Flash lead to four, 98-94 ·
in the final minute, but could not get any closer.

Rowdy Marist hockey fans celebrate an exciting moment recently at the Mid-Hudson Civic
Center.
Fans provide rowdy atmosphere
by
JEANETTE MARVIN
Staff Writer
Cliff Delaney gazes intently
across the ice at the opposing team.
As the crowd around him bobs
up and down screaming insults and
encouragement, Delaney's eyes are
caught momentarily by one of the
other team's player -
number
seven.
"There's still an opening on the
chess club," he bellows - winning
approval from his peers in the
bleachers.
Delaney, a sophomore, is one of
the many hockey fans who crowd
the stands of the Mid-Hudson
Civic whenever Marist has
a
home
game.
But'.Delaney, lik1(mady others,
comes not only to watch the game,
but to be a part of the action.
"Its the only sport where you
can scream and act like a jerk and
not get your butt kicked," said the
Bridgewater,
N .J. resident.

tradition to make banners for the
team.
Kathy O'Hearn,
Heather
Sheedy, Kelly Haug and Chasity
Nadge made banners for the first
game of the year but haven't been
able to stop.
.
"We just started making banners
for Brad Kamp (a freshman goalie)
and the team for the first game and
then we got really into it," said
Nadge, of Cortland,
N.Y.
Nadge remembers a banner from
a game early in the season. It said
"Only God makes more saves than
Kamp and Rodia."
Nadge. said the .. l:!anners. help
psyche the players up for the game.
Is the Marist crowd too rowdy?
"The game
is a little bit rowdy,
so the crowd has
to
be a little bit
rowdy," said junior Louis Burko.
"Its a hockey game -
the
ruder
the better," Delaney ·said.
Peter Dayger, of Wappongers
Falls, said the Marist crowd is not
really that bad.
"There are a few too many four
le1ter words," he said, "but they
are all right."
Nadge said the games can get
spirited but it is for the benefit of
the club.
"It
gets a lot of attention for a
club sport because of
the
crowd,''
she said.
Shannon Roper said the games
also have therapeutic value.
''Its a way to get out all of your
frustration," said the sophomore
from Southington, Conn.
But as loud or as rowdy as the
crowd thinks it is, concessionaire
Lou Gallo said that the students are
"fairly well behaved."
They act like normal college
students," the Hyde Park resident
said. "No problem."
Mermen win;
gear
for MCSC championships

One down, one to go.
The men's swimming team
finished off the regular season in
high gear by defeating the United
States Merchant Marine Academy
131-100 last Thursday at the
McCann Center.
With the victory, Marist clinch-
ed the Metropolitan Conference
dual meet title. Next weekend, the
Red Foxes will take part in the con-
ference individual championships.
Once again, it was the Red
Foxes' early jump that helped pave
the way as three of the first four
swimmers took first place.
The team of Chris Prauda, Ron
Gagne, Brink Hartman and Tom
Bubel took top honors in the 400
medley relay while Rob Allison
won the l,000-yard freestyle.
Hartman and Prauda each took
first place in two events.
Hartman was tops in the 200 in-
dividual medley and the 200-yard
backstroke while Prauda finished
first in the 50 and 100-yard
freestyle events.
Head Coach Larry VanWagner
had high praise for Prauda after
the meet.
"Chris had an excellent outing,"
he said. "It was a good way for
him and the other three seniors on
the team to end their home career.''
The coach also commented
on
what the seniors have contributed
to the program.
"Prior to the meet,
·
we com-
mended our four seniors on the
fine accomplishments they have
done while at Marist," Van Wagner
said.
"It
felt very weird to know that
this was going to be my last meet,"
said Hartman. "Everything has
gone well during my four years
here. We have had a lot of suc-
cess."
Co-captain Tom Cleary, who
finished third in the
1
,000-yard
freestyle, said the four years have
been rewarding.

Lady Foxes win
on
Pa. road trip
by
J.W. -STEWART
Staff Writer
The women's basketball team is above the .500 mark in the Northeast
Conference for the first time this season thanks to a sweep on a grueling
Pennsylvania road trip.
.
.
.
The Red Foxes pushed their NEC record to 5-4 with victories_ over St.
Francis (Pa.) last Thursday and Robert Morris last S~turday. Their overall
mark stands at 6-13.
·
Saturday afternoon at the Sewall Center in Coraopolis, Pa., Marist
edged Robert Morris 57-54. Marist received balanced scoring from three
of its starters and controlled the inside game while gaining sole posses-
sion of fourth place in the NEC.
.
Kris Collins led all Marist players with 14 points, while freshman Lon
Keys contributed 12 and Charlene Fields tacked on 11. Collins also rip-
ped
·
down nine rebounds and Keys hauled in seven.
•
The Red Foxes led 21-18 at the break after a poor shooting half by
both teams.
·
Marist shot only 36 percent (8 for 22) and the Colonials did not fare
much better -
33
percent on 10 of 30 field goal attempts.
Marist survived a late-game surge by Robert Morris and needed some
free throws by Cindy Carroll and Keys in the waning minutes to ice the
victory.
.
.
Despite the Colonials 3-6 NEC record, Head <::oach !(en Babmeau sai~
he was not surprised the game was
so
close, especially smce Robert Morns
had just upset NEC front-runner Fairleigh Dickinson in its last game.
"We expected it to be a tough game," he said. "I picke_d them to come
in second this year. Even with two starters out, they still have enough
talent to put a scare into you."
.
Two nights before, in Loretto, Marist dumped St. Francis (Pa.) by
the count of 70-63.
After opening the game on a 9-0 run, the Foxes found themselves in
.
a battle with the Red Flash for the rest of the half.
The only reason the Red Foxes were tied 37-37 with St. Francis at the
half was Claudia Butler's half-court heave as the buzzer sounded.

Women's sports teams tops in GPA study
by
CARLA ANGELINI
Staff Writer
Women's sports teams scored in
the top half of a preliminary study
of team grade point averages com-
piled by the athletic department for
the Fall 1991 semester.
Sixteen sports teams were rank-
ed. Club sports were not included.
Of the 16 teams compiled, _the
top seven teams were women's and
the next nine were men's teams.
Women's volleyball topped the
scale -with a
2.9 while men's
lacrosse is at the bottom end with
a
2.2. Women's softball was these-
cond highest.
some student-athletes are no longer
on their teams.
The athletic departme_nt
-
is
calculating the official results.
·
Although the results are unof-
ficial, the average individual GP A
of all 16 teams is 2.56, and the
range -
which is
2.2 to 2.9 - wijl
probably remain as is, said Doris.
The goal is for the athletes to be
indistinguishable from the general
student body "so that sports are
truly an
·
extracurricular activity,"
said
-
Faculty Athletic Academic
Adyisor John Ritschdorff.
The college-wide average for Fall
1990 -
1991 was not available -
which includes athletes, was 2.65
according to Katie Aguirre of the
Institutional Research-Office.
Women's basketball was sixth on

was 2.73 and the men's was 2.55.
The GPAs were tallied from a

Howard Goldman said he was not

unhappy with his team's GPA
which was in the same range as the
men's basketball team.
"It's not terrible for all the time
and energy they put in," said
Goldman.i"But, there is always
room to improve -
in anything."
Besides those names that no
longer belong on the team roster,
the athletic department staff said
some of the lower GP As can be ac-
countable to the large number of
freshmen on the teams.
"The adjustment from high
school to can be very difficult and
has effects on
.
the GPA," said
Doris.
.
Supporting
Doris'
point,
statistics show the overall freshmen
GPA to be a 2.54 according to the
Institutional Research Office.
Statistics back both the freshmen
factor and higher GPAs on the
average for women.
Freshmen females had a GP A of
2.63 while males had a 2.44. Senior
females were at a 2.83 and senior
males had a 2.65.
Junior females had an average of
2.81
while junior males averaged
2.64. Sophomore females averag-
ed 2.66 compared with 2.45 for
sophomore males.
Head Football Coach Rick Par-
dy declined to comment on his
team's GPA because he said he
feels people
will
be biased about the
entire team.
Pardy also added that there are
two academic All-Americans on
.
the squad and he doesn't want to
"tarnish them."
Doris said he has tried to make
the
GPAs
competitive between
teams.
The athletic department gives
out academic awards at the sports
banquet each year, he said.
"The purpose is to show athletes
that it's something we pay attention
to," said Ritschdorff. "We want
them to succeed academically and
let them know we acknowledge
academic achievements.''
Doris agreed.
"They are student athletes, there
should be some type of recognition
for those who are performing
academically as well as athletical-
ly," he said.
Red Foxes
win again,
streak hits 5
by
TED HOLMLUND
Staff Writer
The men's hockey club had Pace
University begging for mercy.
Literally.
On Saturday, the Red Foxes
defeated Pace 12-0, after only two
periods, by the mercy rule. The
mercy rule comes into effect when
a team is leading by two or more
goals after the end of either the first
or second periods.
The team had many key con-
tributors that were instrumental in
the victory.
Junior Scott Brown led the
Marist attack with four goals, not-
ching the hat trick.
.
.
Junior Doug Wasowski scored
three goals, also tallying the hat
trick, and sophomore John Lloyd
chipped in with a goal and three
assists to balance the Red Foxes
charge.
Head Coach Bob Mattice said he
was pleased with the team's
performance.
"The guys played well on Satur-
day," he said. "We basically went
out and controlled Pace."
Assistant Coach Kevin Walsh
said the team played hard
throughout the game.
"We played a complete game
and kept our intensity level up,'' he
said. "That's the kind of play we
need to take us the rest of the
way."
On Friday, Marist scored an im-
pressive 12-2 victory over Western
Connecticut State.
Despite the large margin of vic-
tory, Mattice said he was not hap-
py with the team's play.
"We looked terrible," he said.
"lt
does matter how you win the
game. It's not just the end that
matters, but the means that you use
to get to that end."
Lloyd led the Red Fox charge
with three goals, collecting the hat
trick.
Junior Tom Schleif, freshmen
Scott Jacques and Brown added a
goal apiece to secure the victory for
Marist.
·
Mattice also said he was pleased
with the crowd's overall attendance
to the games.
"lt's great to see the support
we're getting," he said.
"It's
nice
to see the student turnout."
With their fifth consecutive vic-
tory, the Red Foxes move to 7-1-2.
On Saturday, Marist will host
neighboring New Paltz before
travelling Sunday to tangle with
rival Siena.
Tyson, Magic and Blair, the week that was
Wow·- what a week.
For a sports fan, there won't be
another week like this past one in
some time.
The week was
filled
with triumph
and tragedy. There were tears of
sadness and tears of joy.
The last seven days found the
fop
sports stories of
1992
and
1991
competing for headlines.
In the end, the winner, er, loser,
~as Mike Tyson.
Convicted of one count of rape
and two counts of criminal deviate
conduct, the former heavyweight
champion faces a possible 60 years
in jail for an attack on a beauty
pageant contestant last July.
Tyson, 25, is of course going to
appeal the decision. Sentencing is
scheduled for March 6.
This really should not come as a
surprise, especially those that
follow boxin2.
Tyson has always ied a troubled
life. However, he was being led in
the right direction by his late
trainer, the legendary Cus
D'Amato, who was Tyson's legal
guardian.
The fighter then became involv-
ed with Don King. With that
merger, what was already bad
became worse.
What lies ahead for Tyson is
anyone's guess. One thing is certain
though, he should not be allowed
to fight again.
If
Tyson is allowed to fight
again, boxing will reach a new low
-
although it is hard to imagine
the sport going any lower.
Why would anyone let a con-
victed felon fight again? Money, of
course. Somehow, somewhere,
sometime, someone will raise
enough money to get the former
champ back in the ring.
If
and
when that does happen, boxing
\,..;n
lose any credibility it still has.
It's almost Oscar time and here
is a sleeper nomination for you.

After the game, Magic was still

When asked about lone-time

due to injury, Johnson said the two
would settle the score "on the
blacktop behind Bird's house."
