He added: "We are reluctant to say, 'O.K., you owe us

Marist spent
$900,000
on wiring and cable alone when it ran fiber op-
tic cables in the South End of campus last summer, Gerberich said. This
year's cost could run more than
$1
million because the server, its soft-
ware and the token ring card adapters
will have to be bought and installed.
"IBM helps by buying some of the equipment, but it's a sizable in-
vestment by both groups," said Gerberich, a former IBM employee.
The rewiring will also link the North End residence buildings with the
Marist Foxnet telephone service which has been in place on the South
End since last fall, said Gerberich.

KERRY NOONAN
Staff Writer
The Marist Singers' next pe~for-
mance will be at the Spring Con-
cert in the theatre on Saturday,
March 28 at 8 p.m . .'
"It's the singers' celebration of
spring," said Dorothyann Davis,
head of the music department.
Classical music and opera will be
sung during the concert, and the
highlight of the opera selections
will be the "Carmina Burana."
The selections of some songs will
be in old Latin and German.
The source of this choral work
by Carl Orff comes from
manuscripts derived from a
Bavarian monastery dated back to
the 12th century, Davis said.
It also comes from old French
satirical, moral and love poems.
A brass ensemble, wind, and
percussion section will accompany
the voices of the Marist Singers.
There are 75 singers, 30 of which
are males, and they put in three
hours of practice every week.
The practice enables them to be

"The purpose of the Marist

Davis, who has been teaching
music at Marist for the past 12
years, also says she likes to bring
· out the hidden talent of individual
singers.

mance was Saturday night at the ·

Writing for a high-profile week-
ly like this, or being a "big bad Cir-
cle columnist" (gee thanks, Amy
Ellen, maybe someday you will be
too) causes some timeliness pro-
blems, especially with Spring Break
looming over our heads (Barflies -
you know who you are -
rejoice,
I know I will!).
Nevertheless, Oscar season is
upon us. This is film critics'
Christmas and should be treated
with that kind of reverence, unless
of course, you have a
life.
As
already established,
I
do not.
The Academy Awards will be
given out on Monday, March 30,
1992.
By tradition, anyone who has
ever seen a movie has to throw their
two cents in about who'll win. I
have a long and colorful tradition
to follow, but here goes ...
As
for Best Actor, we have War-
ren "Been there, done her" Beat-
inside out.
On
the Best Actress front, we
have Geena "Gawky is peautiful"
Davis for "Thelma & Louise,"
Laura "Cut the blonde jokes"
Dem for "Rambling Rose," Jodie
"Sorry, Mr. President" Foster for
"The Silence of the Lambs," Bette
"Don't bring up Geraldo" Midler
for "For the Boys," and Susan
"Sigh" (oh, sorry, that was me)
Sarandon for "Thelma & Louise."
This one isn't so clear. The pro-
blem is whether or not Academy
voters will be able to tell the dif-
ference between Thelma and
Louise.
Front runners appear to· be
Sarandon, who was ignored for her
white hot performance in "Bull
Durham," and the multi-talented
Foster, whose performance in the
basement finale of "Lambs" is
laudable. Let's not forget the other
half of the "T&L" equation -
Davis has a good shot, too.
However,

Support. We all need it, but who
will win for it? On the Best Suppor-
ting Actor list, there is Tommy
Lee
Jones for "JFK," Harvey Keitel
and Ben Kingsley for "Bugsy,"
Michael Lerner in "Barton Fink,"
and Jack Palance of "City
Slickers."
This category is "The Bugsy
Show." It seems that the award is
destined to go to Keitel or Kingsley.
My pick for the category is Harvey
Keitel for his performance in
"Bugsy" and also for his work in
"Thelma & Louise"
as
one of the
few likable men.
Tne
biggest surprise is Jack
Palance, who is nominated for
"City Slickers." Sure,
he
was
good, but where was perennial sup-
porting "irtuoso, Joe Pesci, for his
excellent performance in "JFK"?
Maybe he knew too much.
As
for supporting females, there
are Diane Ladd for "Rambling
Rose," Juliette Lewis for "Cape
Fear,"''Kate Nelligan for "The
Prince of Tides," Mercedes Ruehl
for "The Fisher King" and Jessica
Tandy
for
"Fried
Green
Tomatoes."
First things first, Jessica Tandy
won too short a time ago for her
to win again, despite the charm of
her performance in "Tomatoes."
So, that leaves in my mind a three-
way tie among Nelligan, who was
chillingly effective in ''Tides,"
Ruehl, who already won a Golden
Globe for "Fisher King," and
Lewis, who made thumb-sucking a
national obsession in "Cape
Fear."
I'm really torn as to who should
or will win this one. Each has a
distinct strength, but I think
Nelligan's multi-layered perfor-
mance will get the gold ... even
though the image of Lewis sucking
DeNiro's psychotic thumb will
keep me up nights.
And now the big question, what
will
win
Best Picture? We have
"Beauty and the Beast," "Bugsy,"
"JFK," "The Prince of Tides,"
and "The Silence of the Lambs."
The favorite seems to be
"Bugsy," which was a good movie,
but is not Best Picture material.
I
enjoyed all five films up for the
award. If pure enjoyment was the
criterion, "Lambs" would be my
pick.
However, there are larger things
to consider, and in that light, there
are two real contenders - "Beau-
ty and the Beast" for the amazing
anistry that brought it to life, and
Oliver Stone's much-maligned
masterpiece, "JFK."
I
am
not interested in the truth
of the film. As a movie, it is the
best picture of the year. I've yet to
see
a mo"ie that has provoked
more thought and still entertained
completely for three hours.
Art
aside, it should win the
award
so
that Hollywood
can
thumb its nose at those in
Washington who are
so
afraid of
being questioned about such
"sacred"
issues.
At any rate, it's
a full-on Bushel- Sized Bucket
O'Corn mo"ie.
Until
next
time, and have a great

School of Fish is the latest to

some good songs.
The second song, "3 Strange
Days," from their debut album
"School of Fish," is enjoyable.
It
begins with Michael Ward's guitar
riff -
reminiscent of guitar work
by Tom Scholtz of Boston. Lead
singer Josh Clayton-Felt's lyrics
enter the tune and the song really
kicks in.
Other songs off of "School of

Med tech students to enter a growing field
by
AMY CROSBY
Staff Writer
Does hard work really pay off in
the end?
It
will for seven Marist seniors
when they cash in their four years
of hard work as medical
technology majors, and enter a
field where starting salaries can
range from $33,000 to $40,000 a
year.
In May, the graduates will hold
degrees in the fastest growing ser-
vice industry in the United States,
according to Katherine Greiner,
associate professor of medical
technology at Marist.
The Department of Labor's pro-
jections showed a 40 percent na-
tional growth for medical-
laboratory positions from 1982 to
1995.
However, there are not as
many laboratory technicians na-
tionwide to fill these positions.
Kingston Laboratory, Kingston, is
20
miles north.
Students arc able to remain ac-
tive in social events and college ac-
tivities by working close to campus,
said Greiner.
According to Greiner, many of
the Marist
students
interning at
these facilities are asked to
stay
on
after graduation, due to the shor-
tage of medical technicians.
Marist's JO-year-old medical-
technology program was awarded
a five- year accreditation by th/!
Committee on Allied Health
Education and Accreditation
(CAHEA) of the American·
Medical Association, and it meets
the essentials of the National Ac-
crediting Agency for Clinical
Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS),
said
Greiner.
Medical technologists do the lab
work on blood, urine and tissue
samples, which leads to the
diagnosis of diseases, such as
diabetes and high cholesterol.
A medical technologist is "a doc-
tor's right hand," said Greiner,
b~cause without lab testing, doc-
tors could not monitor a patient's
condition.

Rob Gollhoffer and Nancy Seaboldt, both senior medical technology majors, work in a Don-
_
nelly lab.
The accreditation qualifies
Marist graduates to work in
numerous
fields,
including
hospitals and pharmaceutical pro-
ducts industries, and it also makes
them eligible to take the National
Certification Examinations spon-
sored
by the American Society for
Medical Technology, said Greiner.

ting theories to these tests, said
Greiner.
Marist's medical-technology
program was started by a Title-111
grant from the federal government
to develop a health-services pro-
gram at the college, saiu Greiner.
The large number of available
jobs is due to a nationwide trend
of "shying away from the
sciences," he said.
"AIDS is not what scares peo-
ple away form the medical
technology field, it is the calculus
and organic chemistry that does,"
said Greiner.
There are approximately 40
Marist students currently enrolled
in the medical-technology pro-
gram, and seven will be leaving in
the spring, said Greiner.
Students then spend six months
during senior year working on ac-
tual patient cases in affiliated
laboratories with professional
medical technologists, said Greiner.

Students ready to sacrifice
as vows for Lent declared
by
JEANETTE MARVIN
Staff Writer
"I
remember giving up my sister
once for Lent," said Luke
Labenski.
His parents did
not a\\ow him to
follow through with his Lenten
vow, although it has now become
somewhat of a family joke.
"They (still) remind me of it
every year," said Labenski, a
senior from Norwich, Conn.
Labenski is one of the many
Christians who celebrate the 40-day
season of Lent through fasting,
penance and prayer
rn
an attempt
to be more like Jesus Christ.
The best known aspect of Lent,
however, is the sacrificing of a
cherished object or pastime, such
as candy and television. Taking

nts more involved with en-
vironmental concerns by encourag-
ing more recycling.
"Student government is the eyes
and ears of the student body, but
students must be informed of the
issues that come into legislation,"
Licari said.
Licari proposed publishing the
agenda from every student govern-
ment meeting weekly in The Circle
to allow students to voice concerns
on issues.
Licari, who said she would like
to set aside certain hours each day
solely to listen to student concerns,
also also proposed establishing a
communications director of SGA
to get feedback from students
through the use of opinion polls,
surveys, interviews and forums.
Licari listed her qualifications as
including: working on the Persian
Gulf forum and Yellow Ribbon
campaign, assisting \\;th the Giv-
ing Tree Project, Commuter Union
treasurer, public relations director
for the Council of Student Leaders
(CSL) and the Marist College
Council on Theater Arts and work-
ing on the new student gO'l,ernment
constitution.
Shrider's speech emphasized that
students must work together to
disprO'l,-e the idea that today's
students are part of a "me genera-
tion."
If elected, Shrider said she would
work to eliminate the run-around
time out for charity work, medita-
tion or neglected responsibilities are
also other activities that can be
done for Lent.
John McAuliffe, a junior from
Brooklyn, N.Y., remembers put-
ting together a red and white
sacrifice
box when he was 12.
Eacp day he was supposed to
deposit two quarters; by Holy
Thursday McAuliffe's pockets
were empty and the box was full.
Unfortunately, McAuliffe's
sweet tooth betrayed
him
into spen-
ding some of the money.
"I (had) saved up $1S," said the
campus ministry president.
"I
spent three or four dollars on can-
dy."
McAuliffe said that he put the
box back together with tape so that
no one would find out.
-
McAuliffe was not the only
students often receive in regards to
registration and tuition problems.
Shrider said Marist must look at
the current issues facing students,
and deal with them objectively, not
using outdated standards.
Both the positive reactions and
student complaints must be heard
to better students' experiences at
Marist, Shrider said.
Shrider said being a· resident
assistant in Canterbury brought her
closer to the needs of students. She
also said her role as Circle K presi-
dent taught her how to delegate
power.
Besides these qualifications, she
cited her membership in Marist
College Television her work ex-
perience in the college activities of-
fice, volunteer work and participa-
tion in intramural volleyball as pro-
of of her campus involvement.
Smith, in her speech, encourag-
ed students to
be
aggressive in
reclaiming Marist for the students.
She said that in order to address
a problem, the college must first
acknowledge that one exists, and as
president, her role would be to
point out problems to the
administration.
Smith said listening to any and
all concerns of the students and
follo"ing through when requests
are made arc the jobs of the
president.
Smith said everything she has
done in the past two years was done
for the sole intention of sening the
student body and making sure all

keeping his Lenten vows.
John Conorro's church once
decided to promote good works
during Lent by distributing little
wooden blocks throughout the con-
gregation with the stipulation that

a
parishioner did
a
good deed
they
'were
to return the wooden
block to the church.
Conorro, a sophomore from
Syracuse, N. Y., and his brother
had their blqcks for almost the en-
tire Lenten season.
"(It) took us forever to turn in
those pieces of wood," Conorro
said. "We'd do something good
and then we'd do something bad
and our father wouldn't let us hand
them in."
Lent began at sunrise yesterday
and ends at sundown April 16, Ho-
ly Thursday.

portantly, answered.

Bert Riley, a junior from
Locharbour,
N.J.,
was initially
another candidate for student body
president, but was forced to drop
out of the campaign because he
failed to meet the 2.S gpa
requirement.
Riley said he was very disap-
pointed that, after obtaining the re-
quired amount of student
signatures and putting up flyers, he
was ineligible.
Tim Owens, current president of
the College Union Board and also
initially a candidate for president,
also dropped out of the campaign.
He declined to comment as to why.

Hallmark may not always be the
best way to tell someone how ye>u
feel.
Judith Saunders, assistant pro-
fessor of English, said she does not
depend on card companies to ex-
press her feelings for those she
loves. Instead, Saunders relies on
inspiration.
Saunders, who makes her own
cards, is like many on campus who
consider themselves poets because
it is a "specific form of com-
munication" by which Saunders
can relate a message in her own
way, humorously or seriously.
Her inspiration usually comes
from animals, like the poem about
her dead cat which she wrote from
a picture of the furry friend and
titled it "White Cat on Red
Blanket."
"It's a tribute to my dead cat,
the animal I had loved for alt those
years, a way of immortalizing
him," said Saunders, who first
started taking her poetry seriously
when she was lS years old.
Others who may not take poetry
as seriously include Peter
Donaldson, a junior Engli_sh major
from Watermill, N.Y., whose
haiku reads more like a math
problem.
Donaldson is taking the poetry
workshop offered by Saunders and
said it is one of his "lighter" classes
where he can enjoy writing.
Donaldson said he rejects the
myth that poems are only written
by people who are trying to solve
world problems or invent a new
rhyme or rhythm; poetry can be
fun, too.
According to Saunders, even
people who don't look like the
poetry type write poems. Non-
English faculty members read and
write poems and present them to a
room full of people.

'F' means frustration for some students
by
JENNA RACELA
Staff Writer
Beads of sweat blurred Joe Smith's vision
as his trembling hands grasped an envelope
with the Marist College Office of the
Registrar return address - he knew what lay
inside and the news wasn't good.
. Smith said telling his parents about the
situation was depressing because his whole
family is smart and so his parents were
furious about the F.
Sharma said he doesn't get involved unless
a student files a grievance. Jn cases like
Doe's, when students don't file a grievance,
Sharma follows Marist's policy which allows
the faculty member to make the final deci-
sion about the grade.
got a B. Her mail goes to her off- campus
house at Marist, so her parents never saw her
grades.
Jones said he plans on taking the class over
again this summer and plans on doing well.
"I saw the disappointment in my grade
because of all the success before me, so I
decided to take a semester off from Marist,"
said Smith. "It was actually pretty harsh."
"It
didn't appear to me that the teacher
wasn't trying to accommodate the student,"
said Sharma.
John Davis has to repeat two courses that
he failed.
"It was inevitable from the start
l was go-
ing to fail," said Smith, who is a junior com-
.
munications major. "The teacher took a
dislike towards me from the beginning.
I
know that sounds like a typical student blam-
ing it on the teacher, but every time
I
asked
a question, she looked at me like I was an
idiot."
Bob Doe, a junior communications ma-
jor, said he was the victim of his professor's
rigidness.
Doe said he told his professor that he was
on academic probation and that the F might
keep him out of Marist the following
semester, but she was rigid.
Davis said he failed an Introduction to
Computer Systems class and a Political Par
-
ties and Pressure Groups class.
Smith, like some Marist students, have
failed a class because of conflicts with a pro-
fessor, poor class attendance, missing the
course -withdrawal period or lack of interest
and dedication. All students said they dread-
ed telling their parents about the failed grade.
"I
went to an exam the day of my Excur-
sions in Mathematics exam and I really
didn't feel well and up to taking my Excur-
sions exam, so
I
asked my professor if I
could re-schedule," said Doe. "After I re-
scheduled the exam, I realized that it con-
flicted with another exam, so I got in touch
with my professor and she told me to 'do
what
I could.• I I went
to
another exam first
and came to the Excursions exam an hour
late, but she wouldn't let me take it," said
Doe.
Doe said his mother was disappointed
about his grade, but understood after hear-
ing his whole story.
Mary Jones, a junior communications ma-
jor, and John Davis,a junior English major,
said it was their fault they failed a class.
"I knew I was going to fail. I didn't go
to class for the last three months of the
semester because I couldn't afford the
materials for the class," said Jones who fail-
ed a Fine Arts class.
He failed the computers class because he
never did the homework and found the class
boring, but he had been hoping to get a D,
said Davis who repeated the class and got a
B.
If a student repeats a class, the lower grade
is taken off of the student's record and
replaced with the higher grade, but no addi-
.
tional credits are given for the repeated
course, according to the course catalog.
Failures in required classes must be made
up at Marist or another school, said the
catalog. Students who make up courses at
another school must get permission from the
registrar and the chairperson of the division.
Smith, whose name like all others in this
article, has been changed to protect his iden-
tity, received an F in Calculus with Manage-
ment Applications.
Doe said he was upset about the F,
especially because he had a B in the class go-
ing into the the final exam.
Jones said she missed the withdraw period
from the course.
Smith said he felt cheated, frustrated and
angry about his
F.
"My teacher told me I'd get a D in the
course. So when I got the F I felt really
cheated. I didn't deserve that F. When I
graduate I plan on slashing the tires on that
teacher's
car," said Smith who, turning red,
slammed his fist on the table
.
According to Doe, he complained to
Onkar Sharma, chairperson for the division
of computer science and mathematics, who
said the final decision about the grade was
up to the professor.
If a student doesn't withdraw from a
course by the eighth
week of
the semester,
she or he receives a WF, which counts as an
F,
according to the course catalog
.
"I didn't do the paper or go to the final,"
said Davis.
"I cannot make a faculty member give a
make-up test," said Sharma who
remembered the incident with Doe, but not

about her grade and, instead told them she

'Coming to America'
is coming to Marist
by
CARLA ANGELINI
Staff Writer
Marist College Television will
show the film on March
8
which
gave Marist its first taste of silver-
screen stardom.
The movie is "Coming to
America," and briefly features the
Marist men's basketball team in a
scene when the movie's stars attend
a Marist vs. St. John's basketball
game.
"Coming to America" is a 1988
movie about a wealthy and
pampered African prince who
leaves his country to come to
America, Queens, NY specifically,
in search of a bride.
The pampered prince, Akeem,
comes from Zamunda, a mythical
kingdom in America and is played
by Eddie Murphy.
Murphy comes to Queens -
what better place to find his royal
bride -
with a royal aide named
Semmi who is played by Arsenio
Hall.
Soon after arriving in Jackson
Heights, Queens, Akeem finds
·
a
job at McDowell's ham~urg~r
place and falls in love with his
bosses daughter, Lisa McDowell.
Murphy gets to experience the
American game of basketball when
he is invited to a St. John's Univer-
sity game at Madison Square
Garden by Lisa and her sister.
As the scene cuts to the game's
action, the crowd is rowdy as St.
John's takes the ball downcourt
and scores.
"In your face," the excited
crowd yells to the other team.
Marist's basketball team then
makes its television debut in the

Bu get cuts threaten HEOP prog.
by
CAREY ALLABAND
Staff Writer
Robert Watson, class of 1989,
can be considered a collegiate suc-
cess story.
Watson graduated with a
bachelor's degree from Marist in
1989. He plans to receive his
master's this fall and then to go on
and get a doctorate in public
administration.
Watson, a native of Poughkeep-
sie, was also a student in the Marist
Higher Education Opportunity
Program and under Gov. Cuomo's
current proposed budget, some
students may not be given the op-
portunity to succeed like Watson
has, if the cuts in the state educa-
tion budget pass, according to Cyn-
thia McCollie-Lewis, director of
HEOP at Marist
.
HEOP is a state-funded program
that aids in-state students who do
not have the financial means to at-
tend college.
The state's budget proposal will
be
voted on, on April I.
The state's budget cuts would
hurt HEOP recipients by not only
cutting the amount of aid received
through the HEOP fund, but also
by cutting other programs design-
ed to help economically disadvan-
taged
students,
said
McCollie-Lewis.
This includes cuts to the Pell
grant and the Tuition Assistance
Program
(TAP),
among others.
McCollie-Le"'is said it is unclear
how much the proposed state
budget would cut the program, but
any more cuts certainly would put
an extra financial burden on the
students.
In New York, more than 92 per-
cent of freshmen HEOP recipients
for 1990-91 had gross family in-
comes under $19,700 and 59 per-
cent had incomes below $8,630.
In many cases, students in the
HEOP program often are from
minority households where English
is not the primary language spoken.
Sixty-percent of the New York
State freshmen HEOP class scored
below 380 on the verbal part of the
SAT.
The typical cut-off on SAT
scores for many selective institu-
tions is
500
on each section.
Seventy-percent of these students
had
below an
80
average in
high
school,
yet that
same
percentage
of
recipients for
the 1990-91
year
had
a cumulative grade point average
above 2.0 in college.
Currently at Marist,
more than
10 percent
of the students in the
HEOP program have above 3.0.
Even by coming to
college at a
sometimes
under-developed
academic level, these
students go
on
to
show their potential
and
graduate with
a
college degree, said
McCollie
-
Lewis, and many are the
first in their family to even go to
college.
HEOP,
a
five-year program that
can
allot a maximum
of
$3,300 a
year towards tuition,
has been in
existence at Marist
since the pro-
gram
was
first instituted
in the state
23 years ago.
The students also recei\-·e a
number of
support sen.ices
that
guide
students who were not rais-
ed
in
a college em.ironment.
accor-
din2 to McCollie
-
Le\\is.
These include ad.,iscment in
academics, personal life, career
choices and financial questions;
tu,oring, and developmental
instruction.
Some of these services, along
with the amount of money allotted
per student and the number of
students who participate in the pro-
gram, will decrease if the budget
cuts
go
through,
said
McCollie-Lewis.
Some of the services have
already felt the cuts through infla-
tion and have had to combine or
limit the services.
The tutoring program offered an
individual tutoring service to
students in the 1990-91 year, but
now they have been forced to of-
fer only a group-tutoring service,
according to McCollie-Lewis.
If
the budget cuts pass, HEOP
recipients also will
be
forced to take
on a larger portion of loans to
finance their education.
The current loan debt for HEOP
recipients graduating from college
is
$8,000
which, according to
McCollie-Lewis, is a huge amount
considering that these students are
not from the middle-class bracket.
McCollie-Lewis said the state's
HEOP
program is the most suc-
cessful educational opportunity
program in the country and cuts in
funding will hurt the students and
the communities from where they
have come.
When HEOP recipients graduate
or even if they don't, they give
something thing back to their com-
munity by taking their experiences
with them and passing them on to
others
,
said ~kCollie-Lewis. They
inspire others to take that step and
make their future.

Why
the honors program
is
a good idea
By the spring of 1993, odds are there will be an honors program in place
at Marist.
Ir's been debated, argued, denounced by some and supported by some,
but it appears the faculty will finally approve an honors program instituting
honors classes in both the Core/Liberal studies program and, eventually,
in individual majors.
According to the article in last week's Circle, many faculty members were
"cautiously optimistic" the proposal would pass.
And
even
though there is a minor split in the faculty as to whether the
honors program should be in Core/Liberal studies, a student's major or both,
most faculty members The Circle talked with said the proposal should receive
the necessary support.
Yet, not so fast. In this edition, an article on what students think of the
honors program quotes many students as opposing the program for a varie-
ty of reasons.
Teachers
will
look down on students not in the honorsprogram.
The argument that an honors program could create a faculty bias against
some students sounds logical, but it loses its steam when one considers that
a faculty bias against some students already exists.
The bias is only human nature. Professors, simply put, treat students dif-
ferently because students behave differently.
Ask
any teacher whether it's more enjoyable and rewarding to teach
students who are enthusiastic and intellectually stimulating or students who
are
inarticulate
and uninterested.
Any teacher who says it doesn't make a difference is either not being
truthful or not being a competent educator.
Students, for the most part, are treated how they deserve to treated. In
an honors program, it wouldn't be any different.
Honors programs belong in high school, not college.
This college insists its educational mission, above all else, is to supply
students with a broad-based liberal arts education that will provide a
foun-
dation for any further learning.
A liberal arts education not only means broadening one's horizons, it means
challenging oneself.
Let's face it, not all students enter Marist on the same intellectual level.
And, in some cases, the ones who enter a little bit behind do not catch up.
Yet, should this be any reason
to
keep all
these students at the same level?
After all, while some courses may be broadening and challenging for some
students, they may not be broadening and challenging for all. Doesn't the
college owe every student the same opportunity for challenge and expansion'?
"Marist would turn into a dictatorship of geeks.
Many students expressed fear that an honors program would create a two-
tiered
system
which could encourage elitism.
Having
a
segregation of students where the honors students are in one class
and other students are in another class would supposedly
rob all
students
of having
access
to
a
diversity of opinion.
As
one student said, "everyone (students) gets more out of classes where
students are on different levels."
Is this really accurate?
Think about it. Which classes do students actually get the most out of,
the ones where everyone
is
participating constructively or the ones where only
a few students interact with professors and the rest sit idly by.
Under the current system, some students are sometimes punished for their
own motivation and achievement by being forced to carry other members
of the class. Is it the assertive students' responsibility to see that other students
"get more" out of class?
Let's hope not. Higher education has inherent elements of competition
and self-interest. For the most part, you get out of it what you put in it -
no matter if it's Yale or Marist.
Sure, a diversity of opinions and students in a classroom environment
can
enhance the educational process. But in the end, the individual student has
to pass the exam and the individual student has to handle the job interview.
Therefore, aJI students should realize that in a sense, it's "me first." Whether
it means working harder to get into an honors program or working harder
to
earn
an
'A'
in
a class,
it's
up
to the individual. Since that's the case,
an
honors program makes a lot of sense.
Competition, striving to improve and being rewarded are all characteristics
of how life operates outside the confines of the Marist campus. Why shouldn't
they be characteristics inside the college
as
well?
Perhaps an honors program
will
spur more students to

motivated about
their
education -
even if it means becoming a dictatorship of geeks. Is this
so bad? After all, in the job market of today, the geeks are the ones getting

Will we ever know
who shot JFK?
by
MARK MARBLE
During the past few months, the media
(both print and television) have been
swamped with stories about the assassination
of John F. Kennedy.
It
seems you just can't-
escape hearing, reading or watching reports
on "Who shot JFK?"
This furor was brought to the forefront
by Oliver Stone's movie "JFK" (what else
Thinking

·
would he
call
it "Lee Harvey?"). In this film,
Stone implies that almost anyone living back
in 1963 was somehow involved in the plot to
kill
the president. You name it, they were
there: the Mafia, the Soviets, the
CIA,
the

·
·
While ahnost everyone seems to agree that
there was a conspiracy, no on seems to agree
exactly who was involved.
The communist conspiracy
This involves a combination of Soviets and
Cubans, as well as their bosses, Castro
and/or Khruschev.
This
was
a "good" theory for the 1960's
because it blamed the murder of this coun-
try's commander-in-chief on the ever-
oopular "red menace."
However, it is hard to believe Khruschev
·
would be actually involved in a plot like this
only because if it were ever made public,
there'd be a good chance of World War III
occurring.
Castro
could have been involved, but this
theory doesn't seem very likely.
The Mafia Theory
This is a more popular theory. Supporters
of it believe the criminal underworld killed
President Kennedy because of his brother
Robert's work as United States attorney
general, the Mafia's loss of casinos and •
gambling revenue in Havana or simply
because JFK was sleeping with all of the
Godfathers' girlfriends.
This theory is one of the oldest in existence
for conspiracy buffs, but it's still a good one.
The enemy within theory
Perhaps the theory that is "in" the most
right now deals with
a
secret plot involving
members
of
our own government.
,
· ..
This conspiracy, by far the darkest'and
most diabolical, revolves around the
CIA
and other government personnel, possibly
even Lyndon
B.
Johnson.

LBJ
seems to be the latest scapegoat, with
many saying he wanted ~enn_edy r~~oved

was
afraid of being removed from the
Democratic ticket in the president's run for
re-election in 1964 (don't get any ideas Dan
Quayle)
·
or because he just hated the
Kennedys.
Was there a conspiracy? Sure.
It is likely that the Mafia played some role,
even if it was just
as
hired hit men. One thing
is certain: nobody ever really believed the
Warren Commission's report on the
assassination.
·
·so the time is right for all records to be
opened. Of course, even after all the

opened, we still may not know the answer
to perhaps the most mysterious question of
the twentieth century -
"Who murdered the

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Students sound off about
recent vandalism in the Hoop lot
Editor:
We are juniors at Marist and we are great-
ly disappointed in the safety precautions us-
ed here.
This
past
weekend
a car
that belonged to
a friend of ours was vandalized and
burglarized. We believe this poses a problem
for the male individuals that have no choice
but to use the hoop lot.
Regardless of their macho image, men
cannot
be
prepared for every unexpected oc-
currence. True, the hoop lot is unsafe for
women, but it cannot
be
assumed that it is
safer for men.
The hoop lot is illuminated by one light.
There are no others shining upon the cars.
There are more lights surrounding the
basketball hoops then there are for
the
cars.
Are
car
owners less important than recrea-
tionalists? We should
be
equal.
Men have been assigned this lot because
there are space limitations. We have all
trusted Marist security in assuming they
would protect
us
from any ensuing crime.
However, we believe they have not lived up
to their
part
of the bargain.
This has
been
the second incident this year,
that we know of. We have tried to get the
administration to do something, anything to
increase the safety barrier down there, but
it all falls upon deaf ears.
It
seems that the
heads of our school are more concerned with
building new dormitories before ensuring
safety in the facilities we already have.

Staff Writer
Marist College students have ac-

skill
of
gossiping,
a
skill
Cindy
Dulotto enjoys, and something
which is often heard on today's
soap operas.
"I
think that it is bad, but also
fun," said Dulotto, a sophomore
from Monmouth,
N.J ..
"It can
also get out of hand, but
I
love get-
ting the dirt on people."
Dulotto's behavior would appear
to be malicious and underhanded
to many people, but recent studies
show gossiping can relieve tension
and bond friendships.
John Sabini, a psychologist at
the University of Pennsylvania,
said gossiping can establish an ele-
ment of trust between those shar-
ing privileged information, and it
can serve as a form of free enter-
tainment when personal problems
are discussed.
Karl Scriva, a sophomore from
Westbury, N.Y ., said people are

don't
know if it is the truth or not.
Most gossiping we know of does
not have any serious repercussions,
said Adele Scheele, a career
strategist and
management
consultant.
Scheele also said when we speak
of people kindly wjth good inten-
tions, we can help them.
"Gossiping helps keep the world
going round," said Vanessa Eps-
tein, a sophomore from Wapp-
ingers Falls,
N. Y ..
Epstein said she gossips if there
is some truth in the words.
Mally Ronca!, a sophomore
from Middletown,
N.Y.,
said if the
gossip is going to hurt someone
then she doesn't say anything.
One more reason people gossip
is for status because you only reveal
something to prove you are in and
can be rewarded with secrets you
don't know yet, Scheele said.
Revealing information
can
be ex-
tremely harmful, and people often
gossip because they are envious,
angry or as a tool of revenge
towards a person, Scheele said.
500 people attended the reception
last year.
The reception features entertain-
ment by Jack Glennon, an alumni
who plays Gaelic guitar, and reser-
vations are not required, said
~orman.
The Marist College unit of mar-
chers will be the first one on the
street after the Amerscot Highland
Pipe Band and ahead of St.
Joseph's College, said the Marist
College Alumni Association.
Several members from the Gaelic
society will march in the parade
even though they have not
~raduated yet, said Norman.

According to Thomson, his
evidence for the appeal included
the testimony of four CSL board-

of his decision, as well as other
members who have been directly

issue, and Bob Lynch, coordinator
of college activities.
However, Reilly said he feels
confident the fraternity will win the

that his right to due process as
outlined on page 25 of the 1991-92

to confidentiality as defined in sec-
tions C and E in the All Student

Reilly also said that he should

been an investigation of the
incident.
However, Thomson said that
when he received a memo Feb. 14
from Steve Sansola, assistant dean

Nights from the far side
overnight guests

PETER TIMPONE
Staff
Writer
John Colangelo had an overnight guest
who thought the refrigerator was the
bathroom.
"He was so drunk that he started to piss
in the refrigerator," said Colangelo, a senior
from Summit,
N.J.
"The only way to stop
him was to put a pan in front of him."
Colangelo said that his housemates got
kind of freaked the next day when they us-
ed the pan and he hadn't washed it out yet.
Colangelo and his housemate's messy ex-

Lady Foxes win,
move up to third
by
J.W. STEWART
Staff Writer
With two games left in the
regular season, the women's
basketball team has secured a home
playoff game and at least a .500
record in the Northeast Conference
despite a Jekyll-and-Hyde perfor-
mance last week.
•
Marist rallied to edge Mon-
mouth, 74-71, on Saturday after
being shot down by Wagner, 62-41,
last Thursday.
By virtue of its spiit last week,
coupled with a subsequent Wagner
loss to second~place Fairleigh
Dickinson, Marist (8-6 in the NEC,
9-16 overall) claimed the home
opener in the playoffs next Tu·es-
day and can finish no lower than
fourth place in the NEC.
Last Saturday, Marist and Mon-
mouth (7-8 in the NEC, 9-17
overaJI) engaged in another heart-
stopper -
not unlike the game
Marist won in overtime at home
Jan.
25.
The Foxes and the Hawks battl-
ed to a stalemate at halftime, 32-32.
Marist trailed by as much as
seven in the first half, 20-13, before
junior guard Charlene Fields went
to
work.
Fields used an array of set shots
and running jumpers in the final
5:34 of the half to score 13 of her
17 first-half points and pull Marist
even at the break.
·
The Schenectady native, who
finished with a team-high 24
points, said she did not feel uncom-
fortable scoring more than half of
her team's points by intermission.
"I was just happy that the team
was hitting and
I
was hitting
because
I
haven't been for the past
few games," she said. "So,
I
wasn't rcaJly worried that the scor_.
ing wasn't balanced."
The second half paralleled the
first half for the Foxes, but the
team received help this time from
senior center Kris Collins.
Trailing 49-45 with 9:04 remain-
ing in the contest, Collins went on
a scoring binge, connecting on
layups and short jumpers as she
scored 14 of her 16 second-half
points in just over eight minutes to
give Marist its biggest advantage of
the game, 68-62, with 41 seconds
left.
Collins, who finished with 21
points and
13
rebounds, said she
had no problem duplicating Fields'
performance down the stretch.
"Charlene kept us in it in the
first half. I guess they decided to
come out and play her, figuring
they could stop us. But they
couldn't," she said, with a note of
pride in her voice.
Marist withstood three late treys
by Monmouth long-range bomber
Fran Raph (game-high 25 points)
before freshman Mary Lightner hit
both ends of a one-and-one and a
layup to seal the win.
Head Coach Ken Babineau said
the Monmouth game was a
microcosm
for
the whole season.
"It
was one of those kind of
games. Our kids showed a lot of
heart because we kept coming
Circle

Claudia Butler and the rest of her teammates are making a late-season run to the top of
the Northeast Conference.
back. They had the biggest oppor~
tunity to open it up and put us
·away," he said.
Even though close games can be
tough on the nerves, both Babineau
and Fields said they would rather
play in a nail-biter.
"I'd rather play in a close game.
I
like to step up under pressure than
just sit back," said Fields. "That's
when
I
play my best."
"It
was a tense game to coach in
the last few minutes," admitted
Babineau. "But it was a fun game
to coach -
it was a chess match."
If
last Thursday night's 62-41
debacle against Wagner was a chess
match, then Marist was put in
check mate right from the start.
The Foxes did not score for the
first 3:30 and could only muster 14
points at halftime after the worst
shooting half in the history of the
program.
The women shot an abysmal
seven percent in the opening 20
minutes on 2-for-26 shooting (or
missing, rather) and shot an all-
time low 18 percent for the game.
Not one Marist player found her
way to double figures -
a season
first.
As Marist heads toward the post-
season, two of its players have nag-
ging injuries. Collins, of course,
has both her knee caps out of place
but said she will make it through
the rest of the season.
"I'll
be able to finish, but they're
getting a little tired," she revealed.
Freshman Darrah Metz tore a
ligament in her pinky finger on her
right hand during last Tuesday's
practice. She was examined at the
Hospital for Special Surgery in
New York City before the Wagner
game and was outfitted with
a
soft
cast.
Metz, who is right-handed, said
she cannot move the finger
forward.
"It's pretty painful. The doctor
recommended
I
shouldn't play, but
I
want to play," she conceded.
"It
would hurt me more not to play."
She and the rest of the team will
be at home tonight to tangle with
Robert Morris and will then host
St. Franics (Pa.) on Saturday night
in the season finale.

Pardy resigns;
to bead Bates
by
MIKE O'FARRELL
Sports Editor
Head Football Coach
·
Rick Pardy resigned Monday to take the head
coaching position at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine.
Pardy made the announcement at a team meeting Monda~ afternoon.
Pardy said he looks forward to the challenge ahead of him at Bates,
a Division Ill school which is a member of the New England Small Col-
leges Athletic Conference.
"It's
exciting and challenging to be going to another school," he said.
"I'm satisfied to see
·
the results of our hard work (at Marist), but it is
with sadness that we leave behind a program that means so much."
Director of Athletics Gene Doris said the announcement came as a
surprise.
Doris also said the program has benefitted from Pardy's tenure.
"Rick did a tremendous job in setting a direction for the program which
will carry us into our new conference commitments," he said.
Next season, Marist will compete in the Liberty Conference.
In his three-year stint at Marist, Pardy compiled a 17-11-2 record and
Jed the Red Foxes to back-to-back winning seasons for the first time in
school history.
Pardy, who came to Marist from Hamilton Colle~e,. wasted no
_ti~e
in turning around a program which had only one wmmng season
m
its
11-year history.
·
.
The Red Foxes posted a 4-5-1 mark during his rookie campaign.
uuring the 1990 season, Pardy led Marist to the Atlantic Collegiate
Football Conference Championship, posting a 7-2-1 overall record and
a 5-0 conference mark. For his efforts, Pardy was named ACFCCoach
of the Year.
The seven wins were a school record and it was also the Red Foxes'
first-ever championship.
Last season, the Red Foxes posted a 6-4 record
During Pardy's tenure, 38 players earned all-conference selections and
three received Player of the Year honors.
Doris said a search for Pardy's successor would begin immediately.

Ski team suspended after weekend incident
by
MIKE O'FARRELL
and JAY KRESGE
Staff Writers
The Marist College club ski team
was suspended recently after
violating school policy on a trip to
Haystack Ski Area in Wilmington,
Vt.,
said David Meyer, team
captain.
The team held a party at The
Viking Motel the weekend of Jan.
24 and received complaints from
motel management about the noise
level and the consumption of
alcohol, said the motel owner
reached by telephone Monday.
"There was no rmnirdaniage,"
the owner said. "There was just too
much noise
and
too much drinking.
People were threatening to leave
the motel.
"They had two full kegs," the
owner said. "There was a Jot of
beer."
·
The party took place in one of
four rooms rented to the team and
it involved Marist students as well
as people that were guests at
another motel in the area, the
owner said.
After the party continued
.
"for
about four. hours and the team
wasn't responding to requests to
quiet down," the owner said the
police were called to the motel at
about l a.m.
"The police sent two cars and
once they
.
arrived they quieted
down," the owner said.
The owner also said she con-
tacted Mike Malet, assistant to the
athletic director, on Jan. 27 to in-
form him of the incident.
Malet would not comment on
the incident.
The athletic department also
received a fax from the Wilmington
police department concerning the
alcohol and motel complaints, said
Gene Doris, director of athletics.
The decision to suspend the team
for the remainder of the year was
made by Doris.
"It
was my decision,"
·
Doris
said. "Based on all the information
we collected, there was not one in-
dividual you could point a finger
at fairly. It was an unfortunate
team incident."
Gerard Cox, dean for student af-
fairs, said Doris "took appropriate
action
.
"
"'
The owner of the motel,
however, said there was a • 'chosen
few that got it out of control."
"I think it was a just a few," the
owner said. "The ones in the
responsible positions weren't
.
responsible. I wouldn't have them
back."
u
They
have paid the
penalty for the year,"
Doris said. uThey would
be better served to start
next year with a clean
slate."
Sean Kaylor and Jamie O'Hara,
·staff members in the office of ad
-
m1ss1ons,
were the team's
moderators for the weekend.
"We
just
went
up
as
chaperones," said Kaylor. "People
volunteer on a weekly basis."
Kaylor declined to make any fur-
ther comment on the incident.
Kaylor did, however, comment
on th~ punishment.
"I
don't know if the team should
have been suspended," he said.
Meyer did not comment on the
actual incident but did comment on
the punishment.
"I
can
understand their concern,
but I don't agree with the season-
long suspension," he said.
"I
ad-
mit that we violated their policy,
but
I
don't think that.one mistake
warrants suspension for the rest of
the season. One mistake warrants
a one race suspension, especially
since we were doing so well."
··
"We tried to do the best thing
for the entire group," said Doris.
Next year, the club
will
return to
normal status, said Doris.
"They have paid the penalty for
the year," he said. "They would be
better served to start next year with
a clean slate."

e in OT;
play tonight
by
MIKE O'FARRELL
Sports Editor
The saga continues.
The men's basketball team will
take on Monmouth tonight in the
opening round of the Northeast
Conference
post-season
tournament.
When the seventh seeded Red
Foxes and the second seeded
Hawks take the floor, it
will
be the
teams third meeting of the year.
Monmouth swept the regular
season series between the two teams
by defeating the Red Foxes 65-53
in overtime last Saturday.
Marist also met the Hawks in the
first round of the NEC tournament
last year. Monmouth won that
game 81-67.
Head Coach Dave Magarity said
his team was once again unable to
win a close game.
"We just continue to struggle
with a close game," he said
.
"That
is not a good sign going into the
tournament."
For Marist, the loss was typical.
The Red Foxes, who have lost 10
games by four points or less -
in-
cluding two in overtime -
have
been unable to win a close game.
An Andy Lake layup sent the
game into overtime tied at 45, but
the Red Foxes could only muster
eight
·
points in the extra session.
Marist shot a mere seven percent
from the field in overtime.
Monmouth, however, exploded
for 20 points in the five-minute
period.
The Red Foxes did not score
their first points in overtime until
there was 2:07 remaining.
The problem in this game was
shooting -
poor shooting.
Marist shot just 27 percent for
the game -
hitting 16-of-59 field
goals
.
Dexter Dunbar, Sean James and
Tom Fitzsimons combined to make
just four shots of 30 attempts. Fitz-
simons has missed his last 13 shots.
Lake Jed the Red Foxes with 23
points, five rebounds and four
steals. James was the only other
Marist player in double figures.
The junior scored 11 points and
pulled down 10 rebounds
.
· NBA prospect Alex Blackwell
led all scorers with 29 points and
17 rebounds.
Buchanan was named to the
Northeast Conference first team.

Marist is losing more than a football coach
Stunned. Shocked. Saddened.
That was the reaction Monday
when Rick Pardy announced his
retirement as head football coach,
ending his three-year stay at
Marist.
Pardy is moving on. The Ithaca
College graduate is taking his talent
to Lewiston, Maine and the head
coaching position at Bates College.
When Pardy came to Marist
three years ago, he knew things
weren't going to be easy.
Afterall, he was inheriting
a
pro-
gram that had not produced a win-
ning season in 11 years and had
never had back-to-back winning
seasons.
With that in mind, he went to
work.
The impact was immediate.
Winning is in Pardy's blood. He
was
3!1
All-American guard on one
of Ithaca's Division III national
championship
teams.
He knows
what it's like to be on top.
The first aspect of winning Par-
dy established was respect. He
showed
respect to
his
players and
they showed him respect in return.
Once that connection had been
made, things started to click.
As the youngest coach in the na-
tion, Pardy led the Red Foxes to a
4-5-1 record in his rookie season.
It wasn't a winning record, but
it
was a start. Pardy was building
his foundation of success.
It wasn't so much the play on the
field that was changing -
it was
the attitude.
Marist was quickly molded into
a team that believed in itself.
Each player knew his role on the
field -
and off the field.
When Marist took the field, it
was
a team effort.
The equation is relatively simple:
Eleven players performing 11 roles
equals winning.
During Pardy's second year, the
Red Foxes put the equation into
practice.
Marist earned
its first
ever
Atlan-
tic
Collegiate Football
Conference
Championship
by
posting
an
unblemished league
record of 5-0.
Overall, Marist
went
7-2-1.
Thursday
Morning
Quarterback
Marist football is solid. A few
years ago, the football program
was in trouble. That has changed.
Now it is time to find a successor
.vho will continue Pardy's winning
ways. He has built a winner in just
three years.
He has left his mark. The ACFC
title, the seven wins and the back-
to-back winning seasons will be a
long-standing tribute to Rick
..:.M::.:l:.:.:K:::E:...:O:.'.:.F ...
A_R_Raa:Eaa:L_L'---___
Pardy.
The seven wins were a school
record and Pardy was honored as
the ACFC Coach of the Year.
In just two seasons, Pardy had
brought the Marist football
pro-
gram to a new level. He made the
Red Foxes winners.
Back-to-back winning seasons
became a reality last season
as
Par-
dy
led
the
Red
Foxes
to a 64
mark.
After just three years, Pardy
made a
difference -
he turned the
program
around
and
set it
in the
right direction.
Now,
it
is time to move on. Not
just
for Pardy, but for Marist.
He has a talent. A talent that is
best used when shared with as
many people
as
possible.
Rick Pardy doesn't make excuses
-
he makes winners.
Pardy is the type of coach
athletes Jove to play for.
There is a bond between Pardy
and his players. A bond of respect
and a bond of friendship. It is a
bond that goes beyond the playing
field.
Pardy cares for his players and
that means
a
great deal.
It
shows
the team
he
is
more than
just
a
coach. It shows he
is
interested
in
more than just touchdowns and
tackles.
That bond is one reason for the
·
recent Marist success. Pardy has
shown he is more than his coach
and players respond to that.
Some would say he is a "Player's
Coach."
Pardy has another challenge
ahead of him -
perhaps a bigger
one than he had when he first came
to Poughkeepsie.
Bates, which plays in the New
England Small Colleges Athletic
Conference, is coming off an 0-7-1
season.
It is program desperately in
need
of guidance and there isn't a bet-
ter man than Rick Pardy.
The Bates football program is
going to get more than guidance.
It is going
to
get character, leader-
ship, discipline, respect and pride.
Marist College is losing more
than a
football coach.
It's losing
a
friend.
