Faculty passes
honors proposal
by
S.J. RICHARD
Assistant Editor
Marist faculty overwhelmingly approved
a
new honors program pro-
posal
92-15
last month in a plena~ session vote.
.
.
The Ad-Hoc Committee that designed the program, which provides
for honors in Liberal Studies and honors in the major, was "thrilled"
about the voting results, said Constance Elko, committee chairperson.
The proposal, brought before the Academic Affairs Committe~ and
debated on Tuesday, will be voted on by the Board today, accordmg to
Marc vanderHeyden, vice president of Academic Affairs.
The next step, if passed by the Board, is for the different aca~emic
disciplines to begin outlining the specific
requirements
for honors m the
major, said Elko.
Elko said the proposal was approved because of its innovation and
creativity, not because the faculty was tired of dealing with new and dif-
ferent proposals after turning down pervious ones.
One faculty member abstained from the vote for undisclosed reasons.
The last honors proposal was turned down in the spring of
1990
.
The first honors courses, most likely those in the Core, will probably
begin during the spring semester of
1993.

The plans
for a new dormitory,
townhouses and renovations for the current
campus center, which may include
an art
gallery. continue
in
hopes of bringing all stu-
dent residents back on campus, said Mark
Sullivan, executive vice president.
The new residence hall
will be five stories
.
high and located on the sloping land north
of the current student center. It will house
approximately
300 students with six students
to a suite, said Sullivan.
According to Sullivan, the suites, which
will
be
divided into eight "houses," will in-
clude three double-bed rooms, a living room
and a bathroom.
One major concern to students, said Tom
Birdsey, an architect from Einhorn. Yaffee
and Prescott located in Albany, was that
there
be
a quiet study space and other
"multi-purpose" rooms.
"Students expressed a desire to have
a
quiet and comfortable lounge." said Bird-
sey.
"We are
also trying
to
fit in more recrea-
tional
space
which would include
pool
tables
and
video games.''
Other
plans
for the residence hall include:
seminar
and classroom space, a laundry
room,
an exercise room, a vending area,
trash rooms and "a middle common level"
- - - - - - - "We are also thinking about putting a glass
case around the courtyard outside the din-
ing area, maybe a food court kind of thing."
Plans to build townhouses where Beniot
and Gregory are now are also being brought
up to date, said Sullivan.
The project consists of five townhouses,
two two-story and three three-story
buildings, and will house eight each and
256
in total, said Sullivan.
Each unit will consist of four double
bed
rooms, a kitchen and dining
area
and two
bathrooms, he said.
According to Birdsey, students said they
were concerned about kitchen space, good
ventilation in the bathrooms and locations
of the various rooms.

"White Men Can't Jump" was a disap-

not enough to sustain the film.

that only has two options as to who

film).

I cry foul!
While I'm on the subject of the
ending, which I won't give away ...
could
it

more ambiguous? I will
give
you this much. There are ac-
tually two endings to this movie,
one that contradicts the other, but
doesn't make alJ that much sense
when you stop and think about
it.
I
think Eszterhas expected us to
be too sweaty from all that sex to
actually think. Unfortunately,
I
took the time to wipe my brow,
think, and get annoyed.
In the film's defense, Verhoeven
manages to squeeze some suspense
from the script. But while some of
it is well-orchestrated, most of it
feels forced.
The performances are also de-
cent with Douglas doing what it
seems he does best, playing the
anti-hero times ten. Stone is also
enjoyable as the femme fatale,
mix-
ing elements of Hitchcock, the
good Dr. Lecter and a softcore
porn queen.
We're going to be seeing more of
Stone in the future. Although after
this movie, and the entertaining in-
terrogation sequence in it, I don't
think there's anything left that we
haven't seen.
George Dzundza (formerly of
NBC's "Law

an
enjoy- able performance as
Douglas' macho partner. He calls
Douglas "Hoss" and has some
choice lines like "He got

before
he got offed" - most of the others
can't be printed here ...
$3
million
well spent!
All
this aside, the movie tries to
be a kinky take on the cop-killer
parallel thing and the "Sea of

thing, but it misses the mark. I do
give the movie credit for 6eing

SGA prez
wants input
from students
by
CHRISSY CASSIDY
Assistant Editor
While a primary reason for
establishing the new Student
Government Association was to
open the lines of communication
between students and administra-
tion, students must feel free to
voice their opinions if the system
is to work, Nella Licari, the newly
elected SGA president, said last
week.
"Student government can not
function without the input of the
students," Licari said. "Students
can make a difference."
Licari,
a
19-year-old sophomore,
will
officially take over
as
SGA
president on April 12 at the annual
student government dinner.
Licari, a communication arts
major, said she would like to see
more students coming into the stu-

runs and what is on its agenda.
She said she hopes to use The
Circle to communicate with
students and said she is helping
with freshman orientation in hopes
of reaching new students.
For Licari, a commuter from
Wappingers Falls, being president
means spending many additional
hours on campus.
·
For some commuters that might
be a drawback, but Licari said she
is committed to spending as much
time on campus as possible.
In addition to being SGA presi-
dent, Licari serves as the public
relations director for the current
student government and for the
Marist College Council of Theater
Arts (MCCTA)
.
She is also a
member of Marist College Televi-
sion (MCTV) and works at her
parents' restaurant.
For Licari, the key to success is
prioritizing tasks and budgeting her
time.
After having worked with the
student government for two years,
Licari said, she feels she
understands the responsibility of
being president and said she is con-
fident she will be able to fulfill the
needs of Marist students.
Divisions restructured;
Arts
&
Letters split
by
JENNA RACELA
Staff Writer
The Division of Arts and Letters will be replaced by a new division
- Communication and the Arts - beginning this fall because of a March
6
decision in which the faculty voted 91-15 in favor of the change
.
In October 1991, the Academic Affairs Committee (AAC), chaired
by Donald Anderson, assistant professor of English, received
a
proposal
from the communications faculty asking to become its own new divi-
sion, in addition to the six that exisi, according to Anderson.
Academic Vice President Marc vanderHeyden told the AAC that mak-
ing communications its own division would cost about $150 000, accor-
ding to Anderson, who said that with the budget, it was an i~possibility.
Instead of becoming a seventh division, Communication and the Arts
is replacing Arts and Letters, and gaining all its disciplines (communica-
tions, art, music and fashion) except English and the foreign languages,
which will join the Division of Humanities, according to Anderson.
The cost of the readjustment of the divisions "came out to essentially
zero," Anderson said.
There is a search for a new chairperson for the Division of Communica-
tion and the Arts, according to Linda Cool, acting chairperson of Arts
and Letters, who said that a new person would have had to have been
hired to chair Arts and Letters anyway upon the conclusion of her one-
year assignment.
Cool, also assistant
vice
president for academic affairs, said that the
only problem she sees with the realignment of the divisions is that
Humanities is going to be almost as large as Arts and Letters which com-
prises 39 full-time faculty members and 90 adjuncts.
'.
The other problem Cool said she sees is that communications, which
had hoped to be by itself "so that it would be paid more attention to
"
didn't get what it wanted.
'
Students, faculty review candidates
. However,_ Cool said one ~f the benefits of the divisions' realignment
1s that English and the foreign languages will work very well with the
Division of Humanities.
"Disciplines like English, history and philosophy are traditionally
together," said Cool.

of
history.
"They'll be looking for someone to
build up communication between
the national and state levels. Cur-
rently, federal taxes just aren't
coming back in way of federal pro-
grams.''
Dr. William Olson, professor of
history, said he feels Brown, with
his
13
percent flat-tax plan, has a
"clear economic message."
"He has a tax system that is
perceived to be
fair,"
he said. "The
policy might appeal to voters,
especially to the upper-middle
class."
"I
think that Brown is honest,
and I like the idea of a flat tax,"
said Frank Imschweiler, a
soohomore from Tarrytown, N.Y.
"I
think his policy is easier and will
help more people in the long run."
Dr. Louis Zuccarello, professor
of political science, said while the
economy is obviously one of the
more crucial issues in the upcom-
ing Democratic primary, he would
like to see more discussion of pro-
blems facing urban areas.
"This campaign hasn't seemed
to be very sensitive to urban
issues," he said.
"I
haven't heard
much d~scussion about crime,
homelessness, or rights of the very
poor."
As in e:very campaign, character
has been a huge factor when voting
for a candidate and, according to
Toscano, this campaign
has
been
no different.
"Clinton isn't found to be
trustworthy. Brown started calling
him 'Slick Willy~' and it's beginn-
ing to stick," Toscano said. "With
Brown,
you may not agree with the
man, but there's a continuity bet-
ween the man and the policy."
April Amonica, a senior from
Emerson, N.J ., and vice president
of the political science club, said
she agrees with this view.
"Clinton is just too polished, too
perfect. That's probably why peo-
ple don't trust him," she said.
"Brown is a little too radical, but

Brown was "out of touch."
· "He's saying a lot of the same
things he said when he in the '70s
(referring to Brown's bid for the
presidency in '76)," he said. "The
flat tax is regressive and I don't see
how it could work."
Both Toscano and Amonica said
that the candidate they felt was
most promising was former
Massachusetts Senator Paul
Tsongas, who dropped out of the
race due to lack of financial
backing.
"I

A Marist student was assaulted
and robbed in · the City of
Poughkeepsie last weekend as he
walked back to campus, according
to J.F. Leary, director of Safety
and Security.
Sean Dugan, of Gartland Com-

and robbed early Sunday morning
by non-Marist student Pavlos Ka-
cianaris, of 2124 31st St., Queens,
N.Y., according to Town of
Poughkeepsie police records.
At 3:40 a.m. on Sunday, while
Dugan was walking on Delafield
Street, he was approached by Ka-
cianaris, who proceeded to assault
him and take his wallet, according
to Leary.
"I
think he would have been the
happy medium," said Amonica.
Dugan continued back to cam-

campus security officers who ques-

face.
As Dugan told security personal
about what had transpired earlier,
another security team observed a
man entering the south entrance
after walking aimlessly in the mid-
dle of Route 9, Leary said.
The man was stopped and de-
tained for questioning. Security of-
ficers determined the man to be Ka-
cianaris,

To attract more local students to
Marist College, the Hudson Valley

The Hudson Valley Scholarship
is aimed solely for local students
who commute to the college.
By increasing the number of

Two new Japanese courses· are being offered next fall to encourage
Marist students to become more globally aware, according to Maurice
Bibeau coordinator of foreign languages and Spanish professor.
Elem'entary Japanese I
is
the frrst part of the beginning foreign language
course and the other course, Civilization of Japan, will concentrate on
contemporary issues and some history and geography, said Bibeau.
The professor, Mari Hamada, is from Yokohama Japan, but receiv-
ed her bachelor degree of
art from Macalaster College in St. Paul, Minn
.
,
in international studies in Spanish and a master's degree in sociology from
SUNY New Paltz, according to Bibeau.
Hamada also
was
in an exchange program where she taught in the U.S.
a
nd Japan, including teaching as an adjunct professor the language and
culture of Japan at SUNY New Paltz last year.
"She came to us at the right time.
It
was time to offer this course
because we must be more globally aware and open ourselves up to the
world," said Bibeau.
.
.
·
The response to the Japanese language course has been high. There
were 21 students who signed up for the course, but only 13 were allowed
in due to the small classroom the class was assigned, Bibeau said.
Originally the languag

was
introduced to entice business and political
science majors, according to Bibeau
.
.
.
According to Jack Kelly, chairperson
_
of Management Studies, it is hard
to attract business students to a foreign language bec
;
rnse it takes up at
least two years to get beyorid the intermediate level in a language.
The business department is considering requiring the study of
a
foreign
language for the concentration of International Business, said Kelly.
The world will demand speaking
a
foreign language more than ever
before, according to Donald Calista, director of the Graduate Center
for Public Policy and Administration
.
Calista, a Fulbright Scholar in 1989-1990, taught two seminars on
public policy at Hiroshima University and lectured in Hong Kong and
South Korea.
"Five percent of us will be working for Japanese-owned firms in the
next century and eight out of ten of the largest cities will be in Asia. So-
,
meone with a foreign language ability will be better off especially for
promotions and upward mobility," said Calista.

The histories of Babi Yar will be performed on Monday, April 13,

Babi Yar, a recreational area near the capital city of the Ukraine, oc-

Jewish men, women and children to the edge of a ravine and killed them
when they stood at its edge.

Janet Lawler, AV /TV Operations Manager for the Media Center,
edited the taped reactions and said many students have experienced some
kind or discrimination and are aware of the growing knowledge of pre•

"The use of media on campus gives a certain perspective of what the
students and faculty know about prejudice," Lawler said, crediting Peter
Timpone, a senior communication arls major, and Shreedar Viswanathan,
a computer science graduate student, who helped with the reaction
interviews.

The sounds of screaming people,
machine-gun fire, barking dogs and
an orchestra playing waltzes on the
outskirts of Kiev were heard in the
neighboring villages more than 50
years ago.
The scene at Babi Yar, a recrea-
tional area near the capital city of
the Ukraine, occurred on Sept. 29
and 30 of 1941 where the Nazi- oc-
cupation force led Jewish men,
women and children to the edge of
a ravine and killed them while they
stood at its edge.
Babi Yar was reported as the
greatest
single
tragedy against the
Soviets, yet some tried to keep the
memories of the Holocaust -
and
especially this massacre -
silent.

victims at Babi Yar were ter-

Korey said Premier Nikita S.

Janine Ermilio said she went because she
believes in the bits-and- pieces theory.
"You give a little of yourself to everyone
and you get a little piece of everyone you
meet back," said Ermilio.
"I

tremendous bits and pieces from the people
we helped and visted and from the people I
came with."

Caritas Mission in Frenchville, Pa_, located
in the Appalachian Mountains.
The Campus Ministry-sponsored trip cost
each student $50, and was organized so
Marist students could help others and get to
know themselves better, said Sister Eileen
Halloran, director of Campus Ministry, who
ran the trip with Brother Michael Williams.
"I
believe our students are good moral and
valued people," said Halloran. "We just
have to reassess these values, and it's this
type of experience which gives us the oppor-
tunity to do so_"

Throughout the week, the student_s were

I want

Markham.

The Mission, originally called Young Peo-

1976 by Sister Therese Dush and nine high-
school seniors from Sharon, Pa., who started
it because
of
the area's high unemployment
rate. its lack of appropriate housing,
and
its
increased numbers of homebound elderly.
According to Karen Willenbring, a two-

Marist College and other IBM personal computer owners around the
world breathed a sigh of relief last month when they discovered that the
long-dreaded Michelangelo computer virus epidemic proved to be a false
alarm.
Of all the IBM PC and PS/2 personal computers located on campus
only one computer, located in the Donnelly Computer Center, cont~acted
the virus which the college had learned about over a month before 1t was
to strike March 6, said John T. Federico, student staff administrato~.
The Michelangelo virus, unique to certain IBM models and comp~t1-
ble machines, was to lie dormant in the partition table of the hard dnve
or the file allocation table of a floppy disk until March 6, 1992, the date
of the artist's 517th birthday. Then when the computer was "booted up,"
the virus was to awaken and destroy all information stored in the disk
drive.
.
There are two types of computer viruses: nuisance and destructive,
said Federico. "The Michelangelo is a destructive virus."
But only if the computer knows what day it is.
The only way for the virus to awaken }vas for the memory of the com-
puter to read the date as March 6, 1992, said Federico.
The IBM PC, identified by the larger 5 1/4 floppy disk, has no runn-
ing clock, but the user has the option of inputting the tim~ a~d date.
The newer IBM PS/2, identified by a smaller 3 1/2 plastic disk,_ has
an internal running clock, so it was supposed
to
be more susceptible,
but few cases were reported anywhere.
.
Experts have since said the original fear was overstated. It
1s
not known
who created the virus.
The one case of the Michelangelo virus at Marist was detected on a
PC by the McAfee VIRSCAN program, which is act!vated automatical-
ly each time one of the school's personal computers 1s turned on, accor-
ding to Federico.
When the IO-minute hard drive virus scan was completed, the message
"We
have found the Michelangelo Virus" appeared on the PC's screen,
said Federico.
The program chen asked for a student aide and promptly locked up
the computer's systems, said Federico.
The virus was destroyed by a Clean program and the computer
re-booted
.
"We had
the
Michelangelo virus. We detected it and removed it," said
Federico. "To my knowledge no damage resulted
.
"
Marist computer officials took precautions in an attempt to detect and
neutralize the virus.
The Information Center notified all offices and faculty of the coming
Michelangelo virus and explained in its newsletter how to detect the virus.
Copies of the VIRSCAN program can be obtained in the PC Support
Center in Donnelly, said Federico.

Students interested in the field of
communications were given insight
and advice by guest panels of local
communication professionals
Saturday
at
"Opportunity
Knocks," a day-long conference
which drew only a small number of
students.
The program, held in the cam-
pus center, was presented by The
Marist College Communications
Advisory Council.
The areas in communications
represented were advertising,
public relations, print journalism,
and radio/tv production and
programming.
The program began at 9:30 a.m.
with registration and a continental
breakfast in the Fireside Lounge at
_
Campus Center.
Students were encouraged by the
·
Marist faculty present to mingle
with the guest panelists and to in-
troduce themselves and express
their interest in the field of

tions, gave a brief introduction of
The Marist College Communica-
tions Advisory Council, encourag-
ing students to ask questions and
thanked Donna Sacco, a student
intern, for her help in coordinating
the program.
The panelists then broke into
five groups
of
expertise for theses-
sion, which ran from 10:15 a.m. to
11:45 a.m.
The morning and afternoon ses-
sions of panel discussions were
monitored by Marist faculty.
Student attendance at both ses-
sions was low, with two students
attending the print journalism
discussion in the morning and four
in the afternnon. Only five students
attended the morning public rela-
tions discussion.
The paneliscs at the discussion
sessions told students how they
became interested in their
areas
of
communications, what their first
jobs were, and how to prepare for
job interviews.
All
five discussions put emphasis
on internships, and how important
job experience is in the competitive
field of communications.
Another piece of advice was for
individuals breaking into the com-
munications field to keep personal
contacts open, to "network"
themselves, because one never
knows where there is a job
available, and the person one least
expects could hold valuable infor-
mation about a job opening.
Some of the organizations
represented at the conference were
The Poughkeepsie Journal, IBM,
Dutchess Community College,
General Hudson, WPDH-FM,
MTV Network, U.S. Cablevision,
Gannett Newspapers and Hudson
Valley Magazine.
At noon, there was a luncheon
open to The Advisory Council
Members, panelists and students,
with Robert Norman as master of
ceremonies.
Marist College President Dennis
J. Murray spoke at the luncheon,
and Alan Hochman, president of
Corina Associates Agency and
director of the Grand Old Opry,
Nashville, Tenn., was the guest
speaker.
Shaileen Kopec, vice president of
college advancement, presented the
1992 Marist Alumni Communica-
tions Award to Kathleen Norton-
McNulty, a graduate of 1979 who
is employed at The Poughkeepsie
Journal.
The afternoon session of panel
discussions went from 2: 15 until
3:30, with the same panel members
addressing students.
Dianne Papa, a junior majoring
in communications from Yorktown
Heights
N.Y.,
attended
the morn-
ing session on public relations and
said the insight from the local pro-
fessionals was very helpful to her.
"The panelists let me know how
important internships are from a
professional perspective, and em-
phasized that being a good wricer
is an essential part of public rela-
tions," said Papa.
The only criticism Papa had of
the program was that not enough
students attended.
"(The students) missed out on a
valuable
opportunity. It isn't every
day that successful professionals
tell how they got their positions and
give advice on how to succeed in
the very competitive field of com-
munications," said Papa.

had
been in effect since December
Student Government felt this
13, 1991 to put a temporary halt on
clubs that wished to be chartered.
Many factors were involved that
led to this moratorium on clubs.
One of these factors
is
space. The
Campus Center does not have
enough space for meeting rooms
and for having events. The propos-
ed changes to the Campus Center
are underway, but the construction
probably will not begin until
another two years. So what can we
do for now? Well, clubs have to
share the space that is available.
Many clubs forget they can use
rooms in Donnelly. Room reserva-
tions for Donnelly are made
through the Registrar's Office.
Another factor deals with
monetary problems. The ci.rrent
acti1.ity fee of S50 for full-time and
$15 for part-time students does not
brine in enoueh revenue to fully
support all the acti1.ities the 64

er-
was a major problem for clubs. In
order to alle~iate this problem,
a
proposal was drawn up in which
the activity fee would be $75 for
full-time and $25 for part-time
students. This proposal was given
to the Board of Trustees and was
approved.
The increase in the activity fee
would allow for programming with
top-notch singers, comedians, lec-
tures, and bands. Most important-
ly, it will give clubs more access
to
funds in order to support their club
activities and allow money for any
new clubs that wish to be chartered.
The most important factor for
having this moratorium is the issue
of management. The clubs have
been poorly managed by CSL. Part
of this problem is because the
responsibilities of the Vice-
President of the Student Body in•
elude monitoring 64 clubs and per-
forminiz Vice-Presidential duties
.

Excellent Adventure
by
MARK MARBLE
It is a cold, rainy evening before the New
York Primary. One man is sitting alone at
the bar in a deserted restaurant. The man's
name is Jerry Brown.
He turns his head as he hears the door
open and smiles softly as
Bill
Clinton and his
masculine wife, Hillary, approach.
JB: It's about time you two got here.

BC: Yes, dear.
but
ccWill
we Care?,,
A lot of people don't know Jerry Brown's real name is Edmund
G.
Brown Jr.
Come to think of
it,
a lot of people don't know a lot about
anything that has to do with the Democratic presidential candidate
-
that's how Brown likes it. The less information the media sup-
plies
on
Brown means the more he can supply his own information
-
the information and message he wants you to have.
Did you know that Brown worked with Mother Theresa in India
or that he studied Zen with Buddhists in Japan?
Did
you know that
Brown has been, before this year, a presidential candidate, gover-
nor
of
California
and
chairperson of the California Democratic Par-
ty.
Did
you know. that as chairperson of the
CDP
he campaigned
heavily against the idea of term limitations, an idea he now supports?
Yet, now Brown is running a Take Back America campaign
bas-
ed on the message that politics is corrupt and out of touch with the
people. While not too many people will argue withthis message, some
are skeptical of the messenger. Has Brown's anti-establishment
crusade really seen the light or is he just another wolf in sheep's
clothing?
So far, in typical New York tradition, the people believe the worst.
A
recent Marist Institute of Public Opinion has Clinton ahead of
Brown
37
percent to
24
percent.
However, polls taken two weeks ago in Connecticut also had Clin-
ton edging Brown, but as it turned out, the polls were off and Brown
pulled a big upset in an economically hurting state. Undoubtedly,
that could happen again in New York.
In comparison with Brown, there's Bill Clinton or '.'Slick Willie"
as he's called. Everybody knows about Clinton. He's smoked pot,
cheated on his wife, made some questionable financial decisions and
partially ducked the Vietnam War.
Yet, even his harshest critics admit that without his leadership for
12
years, Arkansas would undoubtedly be in far worse shape than
it is. His efforts on education are
a
model for other-states to- follow;
And
as
far
as
character is concerned, after saying two years ago he
would not seek the democratic nomination, Clinton traveled all over
-his home state to attend town meetings to seek the voters' permis-
sion to
run.
Most politicians simply would have said "Hey, I changed
my mind."
So, for now, it appears
as
if democrats have a difficult choice to
find a candidate to run against George Bush who only has to def eat
the recession to win re-election. Barring a brokered convention, for
the Democratic Party it's either Bill or Edmund and either way, many
voters are liable to say in the words of the original Bill and Ted,
"Bogus!"
Signs of a political pulse have been predictably few
and
far bet-
ween here at Marist: a short conversation on the election between
friends, some discussions in the political science classes, students
heading over
to MIPO at night to work on the latest poll.
Forty-eight percent of eligible voters
between the ages 18
-
24 voted
in the
1988
Presidential election. Unfortunately, millions in this age
group - especially students attending college outside
of
their home
state -
aren't even registered.
For many, it doesn't seem worth it to participate in the political
process, especially when
the
candidates
are as
much maligned
as
they
are this year. But doing nothing doesn't make the situation any
better.
Democracy is a government of the people, and for the people. The
first part of the sentence is the part most often forgotten. It's the
people's government and if the people don't like it, they have to
change it
by voting. Anything else, including non-participation, is
un-American and unintelligent.

BC:

Privacy Act of 1974
I
would like to inform all students about
the 1974 Privacy Act and how it may affect
them.
The Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act of 1974 specifically provides that
a school may safely provide what is termed
"directory information," such personal
facts
as
name, address, telephone number, etc.,
to third parties.
Marist will release at various times the
following information unless requested in
writing not to do so by the student: student
name, address, telephone number, date and
place of birth, major field of study, degrees
and awards, dates of attendance, participa-
tion in officially recognized activities and
sports, weight and height of members of
athletic teams, and most recent previous
educational institution attended.
Students must notify the Office of the
Registrar in writing should they not want in-
formation made available. A
form
can be
obtained from the office should you not wish
this information to be released.

Editor:

have been attending this school for four
years
now and there has
been
few
times when
I
have not seen Bro. Joseph Belanger write
something for the viewpoints page.
I
think
it's high time that someone had a comment
about his writings.
First of all,
such conservatism is
damag-
ing. It is attitudes like this that prevent
change in our school.
Secondly, I have not heard a single J)OSitivc
comment in any of his vie"rpoints. He is
always attacking
some
group
for
what he
feels
is wrong but never comments about the
good qualities our school has. Don't get me
wrong -
I
don't mean this to
be
a
personal
attack against the
man,
but rather an opi-
nion of my own.

'Blata~t disregard for women's health services'
Editor:
We are appalled at the ignorant
attitude of Brother Belanger and
his comments regarding Planned
Parenthood's presence here at
Marist.
Obviously, Brother Belanger
should have gotten his facts
straight before accusing Planned
Parenthood of being an "abortion
mill." He should have done his
research.
This organization is primarily
dedicated to giving affordable
health care
to women who could
not normally afford it. They also
give valuable counseling about
AIDS and other services necessary
for the maintenance of women's
health.
It is a sad reflection on the
Marist community and society as a
whole that there are people out
there who have such a blatant
disregard for women's health
services.
It is obvious that members of our
community need to be educated
and become aware of women's
health issues and
the options
available to them. We would
welcome a visit from Planned
Parenthood on this campus at any
time.

This ailment, commonly referred

Symptoms include inability to

Chance was· element that sparked radio career
by
FRANCIS CECATIELLO
Staff Writer
Bob Norman, coordinator for
the Marist College Communica-
tions Internship Program, will be
celebrating
50
years in radio this
ran.
Yet, Norman's long career in
radio, which started on Sept. 9,
1942, was purely an accident.
As a sophomore in high school
from Olean, N.Y., Norman went
to visit his mother at work for
lunch money.
Th
e
re was a radio station in the
building and Norman said he walk-
ed into the station by mistake, but
while there, he asked for a job
as
an announcer, something he always
wanted to try
.
He received the job after taking
speech lessons in order to get rid of
a lisp and then so began his career
in radio broadcasting
.
"It
,vas a great job -
and you
got paid for it, too," said Norman.
After graduating from high
school, he went into the Army and
·
worked for Armed Forces Radio in
Manila, Philippines where he
hosted a late night request show
that played music for the troops.
After the service, he worked
for
a news station in Bradford, Penn.
where he had a show called
"Breakfast in Bradford."
"lt was
a
great program because
you got to do everything," said
Norman.
Norman said his show had inter-
views, sports, music, news, mer-
chandising, selling and even a small
band that went out on location.
Norman said one of his more in-
teresting interviews was from a
man from prison who told him
how to pick locks and cheat at
cards.
·
Norman then went to Erie,
Penn. to do news and sports for
WIKK
where he announced three
seasons
of
minor league baseball.
He
returned to Bradford as the
program director and then decid-
ed to attend college at the urging
of
a
girl he was
·
dating.
After taking
ari
examination for
veterans in Buffalo he won a
scholarship and went
to
Bonaven-
ture College as a journalism major.
While in college, Norman said he
worked for WHCL and played in
a band three nights a week as a
drummer and a singer.
He then went to Syracuse
University for a master's degree in
television and worked for
a
radio
station during the morning and a
TV station during the afternoon.
While in Syracuse, Norman said
he he earned many nicknames such
as
Sandman, because he worked a
night shift, Bunkhouse Bob
,
for
a
western
show he did, and Rosebush
Bob, because he marketed
rosebushes on the
air.
Norman also worked as
a
disc
jockey and had a show called
"Jazz
on Tap'', so named because
it
was
sponsored by a beer company.
After
Bill Haley and the Comets
came out, he decided he hated rock
'n' roll and got out of the disk
jockey job and went back to news,
sports, and sound effects in
Syracuse, where he announced all

Creagh said during the latter part

there was a rash of vandalism to

The vandalism included format-

are employed under work/study or
college payroll, helping people and
at the same time watching for any
misuse of the machines.
The student aides, all with
backgrounds in computers, are
selected from applications submit-
ted at the beginning of the
semester.
Student aides said they are not
allowed to speak to the press, but
one source said he does see people
attempting to execute difficult
functions on the machines.
The source said when aides see
people doing unauthorized opera-

Creagh said there are more than

personal computers and 50
mainframe public access terminals
in D258, -
LT 126 and other loca-
tions around the campus.
The personal computers ex-
perience more vandalism because
there is access to the disk drives.
With the exception of viruses,
the Canterbury computer facilities
have been free from vandalism.
The most serious form of van-
dalism to strike Donnelly is the for-
matting of hard drives, Creagh
said.
He said viruses are not a serious
threat because Marist has the soft-
v.:are to detect and eliminate most
vuuses, but the theft of printer
cables is something that has to be
~atched for since they cost approx-
imately $30 each.
Creagh

enforced if anyone is caught

Although he liked Syracuse,
Norman said he realized that the
job was going nowhere, there were
no promotions, and there was not
enough money, so he
moved
to
Kingston, N.Y., and was hired as
the program director for WKNY.
After realizing that a program
director's job was too much of a
burden with a wife and family, he
moved to Poughkeepsie to become
the news director for WEOK
_
.
.
While in Poughkeepsie he also
did correspondent work for CBS
and United Press International.
Norman said his first introduc-
tion to Marist came after he was
given an assignment to interview
Bro
.
Linus Foy, who at the time
was the youngest college president
in the country at age 28.
He was offered
a
job at Marist
as an english and public relations
teacher and eventually became a
full-time english teacher after
receiving an
M.A.
in english from
Manhattan Colleize.
He worked at
CBS
nights and
week~nds and became the first per-
son to be signed as an anchor man
and a writer.
. Norman said he had to leave
CBS because of too much stress
due to ratings and commuting.
In
1973
Norman started doing
public service spots for
IBM
and
continues to do these spots today.
As coordinator for the Com-
munications Internship Program
he places about 200 interns a vear'.
Norman said he doesn't like
modern radio as much because
with the advent of
TV,
radi~
became less of an entertainment
medium and more of a service
medium.
He also said that modern radio
is too focussed with time spans that
are too short and that a great deal
i~ lost when there is not enough
time for a thorough discussion of
an issue.
DIVISIONS _ _ _ _

... continued from page 3
Cool said that from the students'
perspective, nothing will change as
a result of the realignment of the
divisions. During registration,
students can go to the "discipline
coordinator" for problems, which
"ought to work beautifully," said
Cool.
Richard Atkins, chairperson for ·
the Division of Humanities, said he
always thought that English and
the foreign languages should join
Humanities.
Atkins said the new Humanities
will "bring together people with a
lot in common who were separated
organizationally before.''
The humanities faculty is trying
to find someone within the current
f~culty for
a
new chair of the divi-
sion, according to Anderson.
Atkins said that if he's asked to
chair the division again, he will.
Cool said she will not go for
either chairperson positions, "I've
really enjoyed this year despite the
additional work. I've had a chance
to work · more closely with the
faculty," said Cool.

it's been live years since U2 one
of today's. most popular b;nds,
went on their Joshua Tree tour.
On
March 20, they brought their Zoo

tour to Madison Square
Garden in front of a sold out crowd
of
17,000.
Before the concert,
we
couldn't
help but ask why there was so much
difficulty in purchasing tickets.
AftJ;!r seeing the
show,
we under-·
stood why.
Bono came out of nowehere
walking out onto the stage alon~
before an absolutely ecstatic
crowd. Wearing black leather with
sunglasses, he was closely follow-
ed by Adam Clayton, bassist,
Larry Mullen,
Jr.,
drums, and the
Edge, guitarist. They kicked off the
concert with the first track off
"Al:h tung Baby," "Zoo Station."
Television monitors flashing
strange images and words accom-
panied the song, and included buf-
falo, flashes of Bono and
words/phrases that moved so fast
they were almost intended
to
be
subliminal messages.
The band then played "The Fly"
and
"Mysterious Ways" with the
Edge adding vocals
and
the gypsy
dancer from video teasing Bono as
he
sang.
Following these were more
singks from the new album, in-
cluding "One," "Until the End of
the World," "Wild Horses" and
"Trying
to
Throw Your Arms
Around the World."
Bono and crew ventured out on-
to a mini-stage and announced,

In his first trip to Japan from Jan. 6 to

Marist High School, an all boys school,
uses Japanese as its main language and is
more typical of a regular Japanese school,
with most of the students being Japanese.
Although he did not formally evaluate
Marist High School, he said he enjoyed the
visit and gained many new insights into the
Japanese education system.
Kearney's evaluations usually take three
weeks, with one week to prepare, one week
to evaluate, and one week to write up a
report. The school then uses the evaluation
as a blueprint for the future.
During evaluations, he usually works with
a team of two or three people, but for the
evaluation of the Marist Brothers Interna-
tional School, he worked alone.

Vandalism plagues parking area
by
MARK STACKOW
Staff Writer
Ed Gorch worries about his gray,
1983 Datsun 280ZX.
The car is dependable and has
made it through trips it probably
should not have; the car's perfor
-
mance is not what concerns him,
it's when the car is parked that he
said he's nervous.
Gorch, a freshman from
Freehold,N. Y., is one of the latest
victims of parking lot vandalism
here at Marist College. Gorch's
passenger side window was shat-
tered a
few
weeks back when his
car was parked in the Marist East
parking lot.
Gorch now parks his car in the
"safer" Riverview lot.
The incident involving Gorch is
the latest to refuel the debate on the
efforts to keep Marist parking lots
as safe a possible.
Gorch said of Marist security
that "they should spend less time
chasing kids with
six
packs, and
more time on serious issues."
Leary leans to the notion that it
is the kids with those six packs that
cause bigger issues, saying that,
''Many of the alternations on cam-
pus involve inebriated students."
Leary admits the task of catching
vandals or thieves is tough. He
characterizes most vandals as
cowards, because they strike at
night when patrol headlights can
tip them off.
"We literally have to catch them
in the act," said Leary. He en-
couraged
students
to be on the
lookout to help curb the problem.

Gorch's 280ZX was one of six
cars vandalized in the Marist East
lot that night, according to the
Director of Campus Safety and
Security, Joseph Leary.
"It
seems to be vandalism rather
than theft because items of value
were left behind," said Leary .

Leary said there are no definite
statistics on parking lot problems
because they are treated as
a
criminal mischief, and there are
many other types of criminal
mischief.
There has been at least one ar -
rest as a result of a parking lot in-
cident. During Winter Intersession,
a man was found to have stolen
items on his possession. He was not
a Marist student.
"The whole parking
situation
is
in a critical stage, but we feel we
have a good grip on it through en-
forcement," Leary said.
Leary docs, however, express
concern over rumors that there will
be a big change in parking.
New parking lots by the propos-
ed new dorms might replace the
Champagnat lot. Champagnat is
the largest of the parking lots at 288
spaces, and there is concern
whether or not those lost spaces can
be replaced adequately.

Five games into the season, the
lacrosse team is still searching for
its first win.
Marist dropped to 0-5 overall
last Saturday after dropping an
18-5
decision to Boston College.
Freshman Larry Adams scored
two goals to lead the Marist attack.
Adams leads the Red Foxes in scor-
ing with nine points.
Senior Chris Retcho notched a
_
goal and an assist while fellow
senior co-captain chipped in with
two assists to balance the attack.

Track sprints
:
into
inaugural season
by
MATT MARTIN
Staff Writer
The Marist track team knew starting a program from scratch would
be like running into the wind.
.
·
·
.
On Saturday, the Red Foxes faced the elements head-on while com-
peting at the Army Spring Meer at
-
West Point last Sat_urda}'..
.
Braving the 30-mile-per-hour wind and a·20 degree wmdch1Il factor,
the track program began its inaugural season under less than ideal
conditions.
"It
was like watching
-
people run in water out there," said Coach Phil
Kelly
.
"Runners just ran out of gas going into
30
to
40
mph winds."
Dwayne Edwards, a junior,
was
dismayed when he first measured the
triple-jump board.
"It was a forty foot board," said Edwards. "I had never jumped from
a 40-footer before.
I
had to psych myself up for it."
The new board didn't have a
-
negative effect'on Edwards. The junior
soared to a new school record of
42
feet, four-and-half inches, good
enough for fourth place.
·
Edwards' teammate, freshman Darren Ranft finished close behind in
.
sixth place, closing out Marist's best event of the
:
day.
.
.
Marty Feeney, a junior from Millros
_
e; MA., also turned
m
a sohd
preformance.
·
.
Feeney foUowed an eighth-place finish in the 5,000-meter run with a
<.:·,k•
third- place in the 800-meter run, posting
a
time of 2 minutes, 4 seconds.
"That is an exceptional time into thewind;'' said Kelly
.
"I
don't think
any other runner attempted both events,-because the·5;000 is so physically
demanding.''
Junior Jen VonSuskil managed
-
a third-place finish in
5~000
meter,
despite falling 43 seconds behind her previous personal best.
However, the wind was not a factor for Lori Keys.
The freshman set a new school record on her way to a seventh-place
finish in the shotput.
Keys, who is also a member of the women's basketball team, pushed
the IS-pound sphere to a record
35
feet, four-and-a-half inches through
the stiff gusts coming off the neighboring Hudson River.
