Elections for freshmen class hotly contested
by
CARI . OLESKEWICZ
· Assistant Editor
The Class of 1996 had 20
students ·running for office, and
none of them were surprised at the
number of students in the race.
. This is unu·sual at Marist College,
since positions in the past have
gone uncontested, and in some
cases no one at all ran for certain
offices.
"I expected that a lot of us
would be· running," Claudine
DeSola, a candidate for treasurer
from Staten Island, N.Y., said. "I
think it's great, it's better to have
more of a challenge."
Jason Pratt, who is running for
vice president from Danbury,
Conn., said he agreed it is better to
have a large number of people
seeking office.
.
"When more people get involv-
ea, more gets done," Pratt, a
political science major said. "There
are more ideas to consider out
there."
-Scott Sullens, a presidential can-
didate from Nashua,
N.H.,
said he
had no interest in learning how
many people were running.
"I've seen the signs," Sullens
said, "so I know it is an intense
race. But I'm not concerned with
how many people are running."
Most of the candidates agree the
number of people running is good
for the class as a whole. "I think
that this gives our class an upper
hand," Erin Green, from Man-
chester, Conn., said. Green, a can-
didate for secretary, added the en-
thusiasm demonstrated by the peo-
ple running shows the Marist com-
munity that the newest class really
wants to be involved. "I am very
pleased that a lot of freshmen are
running," Marc Spitzner, a senior
election commissioner from
Chesire, Conn., said.
. "There's an especially tight race
for president and vice president. It
shows that this class has a lot of in-
terest."
David Laffin, co-election· com-
missioner, said- he agreed. "This
year is more tense and competitive
than what I've seen in past years,"
Laffin, a senior from Poughkeep- .
sie said. The election. for class presi-
dent, vice president, secretary and
treasurer took place yesterday, and
the candidates have spent the past
week campaigning. The election
process includes . petitioning for a
place on the ballot, hanging up
. signs and giving speeches, which
took place Monday.night. The can-
didates for all offices echo a desire
to be involved as the most impor-
. tant reason for why they decided to
run.
"l
don't want to sit back and
let others make the decisions for
me," Sullens said. "I really believe,
in the class, that's why I'm runn-
ing."
Larry . Bruno, a business ad-
ministration major from Albany,
N.Y.,
said he's running for presi-
dent because he enjoys helping his
fellow classmates.
"I
have good
l~dership qualities, and
I
would be
there to hear the voices of the
class," Bruno said. Green, a
marketing major, was involved in
student government all through
high school and said he would like
to continue that involvement dur-
ing her college years. "I thrive on
getting to know a lot of people,"
Green said. "A class officer's job
is to listen to the class and follow
through on their ideas by working
as a representative."
"It's a matter of school spirit,"
DeSola, a double major in public
relations
and
international
business, said. "It's good to be able
to get to know the administration
and help the class to . unify."
DeSola said her interest in running
for office began when she started
working as a student government
assistant.
Some candidates have expressed
concerns that with the amount of
people running, this election is
nothing more thaq a popularity
contest. "There is a fear among
some people that the most qualified
candidates won't get the job," Laf-
fin said.
Laffin added that whether or not
the election is a popularity contest
is up to the students, since·they are
the ones who are voting. "Student
government in high school tended
to lean more towards a popularity
contest," Daniel Glover, a
presidential candidate from
Washington Heights, N.Y., said.
"It is different here, because most
' of the people running really have
their hearts and minds in it."
''AH of the students have to be
involved · It's not going to be only
the officers responsible for this
class." Sullens _said.

Leo Hall security incident occurs

One of two students who were
denied entry into-Leo Hall harass-
ed a security guard and resident
director with racial slurs. On Sept.
f6, two students attempted to enter
Leo Hall with a female resident
from Leo at approximately
4
a.m.
but were denied access because they
were allegedly drunk, and one did ..
not have an ID, said Jeffery Ar-
cher, the security guard.
.
Upon refusal, one of the
students verbally harassed Archer
with racial slurs and attempted to
bribe Archer with three dollar bills;
additional ·security and resident
director Afena Cobham were call-
ed and Cobham also was address-
ed with racial slurs, said J.F.
Leary, ~irector of safety and
security.
"I refused to allow them in,
only one of them had an ID.
The kid with the ID got ig-
norant and made racial slurs
wouldn't want to repeat,". said Ar-
cher. "The way he said it was as if
he wanted to say it for so long. It
was as if his hands were tied and
someone let his hands loose. I am
being paid .to protect those kids,
that is my job."
One
of the students, believed to have
made the racial slurs, said he was
doing a lot of community· service
and refused to make any other
comments. The resident director in
Canterbury, Donald Ivanoff, said
he can confirm both students live
in Canterbury and were met with
discipline sanctions but woul4 not
release any details pertaining to the
discipline sanctions. "I can com-
firm there was an incident that took
place on campus. I can confirm
that all cases handled on campus,
if the stud~nt is found guilty they
will receive appropriate sanctions,"
said Peter Amato, assistant dean of
student affairs.

British and French soldiers, and
very detailed periodic scenes.

positive aspects of the movie, and
after
it droned on for an hour, it
was not special anymore. The script
was too lengthy for the English-
Indian-French speaking actors to
clearly recite, often losing me in
their subtitles and translations;
After a while it was as if one per-
son did the audio for all the actors,
everyone sounded the same and
said the same lines. It got so con-
fusing after the first ten minutes,
I had no idea who was who, what

book, not a rip

off or mockery of
it. I have not read it, but if what
I heard of it is true, if it is an
American Classic, then it should
have nothing to do with this movie.
And of course, what would a movie

Sn~pple. prices are changed in response to
p_gmplaints froin pockets ofthirsty customers
by
EVELYN HERNANDEZ
Staff Writer
Rushing in to the Donnelly Cof-
fee Shop, a student grabs a Snap-
ple to quench his thirst and takes
it to the counter. He gives the
cashier his last dollar. She says,
"It's a $1.25."
Faculty, staff, and students were
sur_prised to find a 25-cent increase
on the price of the Snapple drink
at the Donnelly Coffee Shop,
Dyson Cafe and Slices Plus.
According to Dan Lewis, the
food service director for Seiler's at
Marist, the price went up due to a
price increase from the manufac-
turer; however, concerned patrons
decided to protest.
A petition was circulated and ap-
proximately 90 people signed it.
The petition was then presented to
Lewis by Nina Budd, secretary for
the Higher Education Opportuni-
ty Program, and Rose Smith,
secretary for Security, af a meeting
on September 15. "That's when it
was first brought to my attention "
Lewis said. "So I called them ba~k
(the Snapple manufacturer)
to
see
if we could come to an arrange-
ment and they reduced the price."
Budd said Lewis was very
cooperative. "He was willing to
help as long as he knew what was
going on," Budd said. "Rose
Smith and I thought it was a very
positive meeting."
Lewis said the price went up on
a range of $1.86 to $2.06 per case.
Snapple is sold to Seiler's for 75
cents a bottle, including the bottle
deposit charge.
"We increase prices when prices
are increased to us," Lewis said.
During the me~ting, several other
concerns were raised: Dinner prices
were discussed and an early-bird
special resulted. For example, if
one buys a dinner from 5: 15 to 5:45
the dinner costs $3 .50 instead of the
regular price at $4.50. A food com-
, mittee has also been organized to
help Seiler's know what the con-
sumers want. The committee will
also be discussing food prices and
quality. The lock which is placed
on all clubs ensuring that Seiler will
cater all on-campus functions, may
be a possible topic. Steve Sansola,
a.:5sistant dean of student activities
and housing, and Budd are
members of the food committee
which will meet once a month at a
lunch meeting. Debbie Jack, a
senior from St. Maartan, was one
of the students who signed the peti-
tion because she said she was sur-
prised at the 25-cent increase.
"Usually when a price goes up, it
goes up by 5 cents," said Jack. "A
25-cent jump seemed ridiculous."
Soula Niarhos, a freshman from
Marlboro,.N.Y., also signed the
petition. As a commuter, she was
concerned about the price increase
in Snapple and other products.
"That's a lot of money for a Snap-
ple," said Niarhos.
"It
was really
inconsiderate to the students. We
pay enough money as it is for tui-
tion." A case of Snapple at Thrif-
ty Beverage, Inc., in Poughkeepsie,
costs $17.58, plus tax and deposit
-
individually, the cost breaks
down to 83-cents. The Snapple bot-
tles come out to 81-cents at Park
Discount Beverage Center in Hyde
Park.
In response to the decrease to
$1.10, Niarhos . thought it was
reasonable.
"I can get it (Snapple) for 90
cents at a drugstore, so I guess
$1.10 isn't that bad," Niarhos said.
Marist College's radio station
is able to hit airwaves ·again
by
KIRELL A. LAKHMAN
Staff Writer
The Marist College radio station,
WMCR, made on the air Sept. 21,
after existing in limbo from the
first few weeks of this semester.
Originally planning to begin
broadcasting from their location in
Champagnat Hall on Sept. 13, the
station was faced with problems
that would delay the target date by
over a week.
· Several cables and wires, in-
cluding WMCR's broadcast anten-
na and The Associated Press wires,
were accidentally severed by
repairmen working on the roof of
Champagnat, causing the setback.
"It's too bad that we lost that
week of air-time," said Kraig
DeMatteis, program director for
WMCR. "Although we did
manage to get a lot done in terms
of getting everyone on the station
ready and • psyched up about this
semester; the delay was really no
big deal."
The damage done by the
repairmen was ultimately taken
care of and paid for by their con-
tractors. Although the station's
debut this semester was something
Jess than perfect and somewhat
marred, according to the program-
ming directors, this season of
broadcasting will paint a different
picture. Marking this as its 16th
year on the air, WMCR, located at
90.1 FM, is looking forward to a
semester full of «first-evers."
Heading the list of start-up pro-
grams this year
will
be the creation
of an advertising sales staff, whose
objective will be to sell air-time for
ads and commercials, "further
developing WMCR's recognition."
"I really feel good about the new
(people)· we have with us this
semester; everyone here is just so
determined and on the ball
already," said
DeMatteis.
"Especially our new sales depart-
ment .I'm really excited about it."
The seven-person advertising
sales department, chiefly made up
of business majors, will be respon-
sible for locating, organizing and
signing companies and businesses
to advertise through WMCR, help-
ing to further fund the station.
Also in the works for this
semester, WM<;::R is planning on
recruiting experienced professors
with
radio
and
television
backgrounds to offer seminars for
newer members of the radio staff,
as well as those more experienced.
Under way as well at the station is
the creation of a political talk
show, and planned coverage of
more Marist sports, all with the
goal to "boost.. the station.'' -A
priority not-too far off ofWMCR's
is to become licensed by the Federal
Communications Commission.
"We're going to apply for the
FCC license in 1996," DeMatteis •
said, referring to the next available
time to get the license. "Getting
licensed will give the station the
ability to broadcast farther than
our current one-mile diameter.'"
With over 100 people on the staff
of WMCR - 52 of whom are DJs
-
listeners have a wide range of
music to enjoy. Among the dif-
ferent shows the station offers are
classic rock, techno, heavy metal
and jazz, all incorporating call-in
requests.
DeMatteis said it's a terrific way
to get further involved with the
Marist community since the station
is always looking for new members
to helpout.
WMCR also accepts a wide
variety of Marist students, from
any year and any major, to hold
on-air spots. "We do have mostly
communications majors on our
staff, but you'll be surprised at the
sociology, business and political
science students we have working
here," said DeMatteis.
Security· does
not
s~e need
to
carry guns

by
WILBERT DEN OUDEN
Staff Writer
Despite rumors, security does
not carry guns-and does not plan
to carry them.
"It
is a rumor and
if we're· going to wear guns we
· would be the first ones to know
about it," said Bill Person, swing
swift supervisor of safety and
security.
_
Not one person asked at securi-
ty said they heard about the rumors
and were surprised to hear about
it.
"If
we had a lot of problems,
I could see, b,ut I think we do a fan-
tastic job," said Person. Tom
McLain, assistant director of safe-
ty and security, said it is a rumor
and would like to know how it got
into the Marist community.
McLain said as long as Dennis
Murray, president of Marist Col-
lege, and Joe Leary, director of
safety and security, are here,
guards will not wear guns. McLain
keeps a gun at home, but would
never bring it to work, because he
agrees with Murray and Leary that
there is no place for firearms on
this campus. -Marist is an open
campus, it is not closed from the
Poughkeepsie com mu.1ity; ·'
'There
used to be a

",.,.,
..L
he only reason
for wearing guns is for
people from the street
coming inside."
Bill Person,
Swingshift Director
of Security
tak_e. it. away,. because ,we. did not
want to be alienated from the co1ri-
mi.mity, ,,. said '.Joh-n 'Done·rty, ·assis::
tant professor of criminal justice.
"The only reason for wearing guns
is for people from of the street,
coming in from outside and com-
mitting crime," Person said. In ad-
dition, Doherty mentioned the last
crime report figures is declining in
· Poughkeepsie neighborhoods.
"H,owever, for a student, there
might be a persception that there
is more crime, because they come ·
from less crime related places,"
Doherty said. With all the pro-
blems from the students who Jive
off campus; Security'said ti-iey·have .
the campus itself under co·ntrol.'
Person said it all comes down to
working together, students with
security and vice versa. The chance
that Security ever will wear guns is
small. The security g1rnrds need to
get the proper training, need to get
licensed guns and should be trusted
with them. In addition, McLain ·
said 90 percent of his workers do
not want to wear guns. The
qualifications to become a guard
require job related work but the ex-
perience does not have to be law
enforcement, said McLain. To
work as a dorm guard one needs
one year of experience in security
work and three years of experience
to be an outside guard.
The Reynard staff anticipates a better year
by
JOSEPH CALABRESE
Staff Writer
~i~HP
past years th.e B,eyn~rd, the
:Marist College yearbook, has been
:
plagued with problems; causing the
yearbook to be published months
after the school year ended.
The
1991 edition of the yearly publica-
tion was issued eight months past
the deadline in December. This
year, Barbara Sanchez, the editor
of the Reynard, said she plans to
make changes which will help
future publications. With a staff of
35 students, Sanchez said she hopes
hard work and some good piano-
ing will make this year's book a
huge success. Since the yearbook
has had little popularity among
students, Sanchez said the year-
book staff has a difficult task in
front of them. For instance, by
Oct. 28, 48 pages of the book must
be submitted. "That is our first
deadline consisting of the color sec-
tion, club photos, faculty section,
and the Reynard cover," said San-
chez, a I 9-year-old communica-
tions major from Staten Island,
N.Y.
The rest of the 176-page publica-
tion must be submitted by Feb. I,
1993, so it can be published for
students for May.
The Reynard staff has looked at
other college yearbooks for
guidelines concerning the layout of
this years book.
In past years, the yearbook has
been a scrapbook of photographs
and poems, said Sanchez. "We will
make no radical changes in the
Reynard.
It
will be the same tradi-
tional layout but with more cap-
tions and better graphics," she
said. Sanchez said she hopes these
modifications will change the
popularity and the perception of
the Reynard.
"Because it is not popular here
at Marist, students perceive it as a
senior book, not a school book,"
she said. The Reynard, published
by Jostens,
will
cost students bet-
ween $45 to $55, she said. This
year, the Reynard will look towards
outside sources for advertisements
which will raise money for the cost
of publishing.
Community
businesses as well as parents will
have the opportunity to donate
money in exchange for adver-
tisements. The Reynard staff in-
cludes Jean Gallo, assistant editor,
and Jody Ramey, head of the
business department.
The 35 staff members, mostly
freshman, are appointed to depart-
ments through experience and in-
terests, said Sanchez.
Departments include senior pic-
tures, sports section, faculty and
administration section, club section
and student life section.
The Reynard advisor, Mary
McComb, assistant professor of
communications, assists in the
decision-making of the publication.
Sanchez said the Reynard staff is
currently working on the theme
and the ladder, or layout, of the
book. "The staff is in the
preliminary stages of getting
everything together. We are just
looking for a theme for this year's
book," Sanchez said.

Although the two students sup•
posedly received disciplinary sane:
. tiohs, Archer said he thought th~
students were banned from cam-
pus, however, when he saw the
same male enter the building, two
days later, he said he was shocked.
·
"Two days later he tried to enter
the building with a letter saying
he'd be allowed in because the let·
ter was signed by a resident direc·
tor at Canterbury.
'It
\\'.as as if
the incident never took place,"
Archer said.
Although Leary said he strongly
urged the most serious of
discipline, he said he was unaware
of the letter signed by the resident
director.
"Generally it does happen that
.
students are banned until they have
met with their resident director,"
said Ivanoff.
Apparently, nobody informed
Archer that the student who verbal-
ly harassed him would be allowed
back inside Leo. "I couldn't
believe the administration or hous•
ing staff wduld allow this guy back
on campus in my buildingwithout
telling me.· It violated my civil
rights
.
Nobody discussed it with me
or anything,'' said Archer
.
"
As a student this has happen-
ed before, the same type of
harassment-but not as an ad-
ministrator. This is nothing new to

the glitz with comic Mario Joyner
by

Editor
He strolled into the Marist Col-
lege campus center a little after 7
p.m. Friday, Sept. 25, practically
unnoticed
.
He wore faded black
jeans, a black leather jacket and a
new-looking Chicago White Sox
hat. He is the picture of the
average, unremarkable American.
With less than an hour before his
performance, Mario Joyner look-

Late night munchies draw
Marist students to diner
by
MATT MARTIN
Staff Writer
lf you really want to find out
about the social life at Marist, the
first place to stop is the Diner at 2
a.m., according to Marist alumnus
Tom Cleary. "Marist just wouldn't
be the same without it," Cleary
said.
i
At that hour ,the Palace has seen
both the best, and worst, that
Marist has to offer.
_
Most of the time, it's the worst.
"They're loud, they're obnox-
io
_
us, they pass out on the tables,"
said Tanya Daggett, a night
waitress at the Diner. The same
groups of people come every
weekend, after the bars close, Dag-
gett said.
"We're using this (trip to the
diner) as a pit stop between par-
ties," said Jason Podalak, a
sophomore from Fairfield, Conn.
"It's sort of a sobering up period."
"It's the closest" stop between the
party and home,'' said John Gam-
baro, a sophomore from Brooklyn,
N.Y. "And, it's the greatest food
in all of Poughkeepsie." Students
agree that the food is good and
they are treated well at the diner.
"We don't usually have a pro-
blem with the students," said
Rafael Garcia, the night manager
at the Palace. "They're loud
sometimes, going up to their
friends and telling the jokes from
the night. There always is a lot of
· laughing here in the morning/'
Most of the time students get
their food and leave, but occa-
sionally Garcia, who has seen his
share of student antics, has been
forced to throw people out.
Students have tried to steal pies and
wine from the refrigerator that
lines the entrance to the Palace,
said Garcia.
To a drunk student, the char-
donneys California cheesecake,
and stra~berry shortcake make in-
viting targets.
"They've even tried to steal
lobsters out of the tank," said Dag-
gett. "Some students were j~st
standing around the tank, reaching
in and fishing them out."
But that isn't the only thing
Marist students make a mess out
of according to Daggett.
:'Once we told a girl where the
bathroo~ was, but she mistakenly
went out a door that leads out-
side," said Daggett. "She ~ndcd up
going to the bathroom behind some
bushes in front of a bunch of peo-
ple." Some of the students have
come up with ways to make work-
ing at the diner a little more in-
teresting. "I've had a group of kids
place my tip in a water ~lass, up
-
side down, with the water still in
it," said Brenda Bascone, a
waitress who works the night shift
at the Palace four times a week.
"They make a bigger mess than my
two kids
.
"
But not all Marist students are
here to give us a_hard time, said
Peggy Borgos, a night waitress at
the Palace for close to 12 years who
says she often feels more like a
counselor than a waitress.
"A lot of people come in every
night because they can't sleep and
something is troubling them," she
said. "Before I know it, I'm.giv-
ing them advice. I'm amazed at
what I've heard." The Marist
students themselves are also amaz-
ed at what they've seen that late at
night at the Diner.
"Two townees were havirig an
argument in the corner one night.
It got so heated, one pulled a gun,"
said
Lupus
Stevenson,
a
sophomore from Torrington,
Conn. "I've never moved so fast
in my life. I was under the table real
quick." Students aren't the only
members of the Marist communi-
ty that frequent the diner.
"Even Charlie is here," said
Chris McAuley, a freshman from
Richmond Hill, N. Y ., referring to
the cafeteria worker at Marist who
also works at the Diner in the
evenings.
"I saw him here late one night,
just picking change off the
tables,"said McAuley.
Eventually, the students leave,
and the diner continues its run
through the wee hours of the mor-
ning. "From three to six, the
regulars come in," said Garcia.
"They are the late bar crowds, the
early IBM workers and just or-
dinary people who are here for the
food or the company."
Occasionally, those guests have
included Mario Joyner, or Sinbad,
stars that have just finished shows
in the area. "I got to wait on Mario
Joyner tonight," said Daggett.
"Finally,someone who wasn't go-
ing to give me a hard time." All in
all, Bascone said she enjoys her
job. "Most of the time anyway."
in the entertainment business can
-
be sensed. "Sure I recognize that
I sort of have a name," Joyner said
with a smile, "but I'm not at the
height
.
of my career. I'm just a
comic who can make people laugh.
So, I'm doing alright. "Don't be
fooled, though. Joyner may not be
flashy or arrogant, but he is
confident.
Joyner has set his sight higher
than MTV. "You can't slay with
MTV forever," Joyner said.
"After a few years, you can't real-
ly be more than a VJ." Joyner said
he hopes to do work on some pilots
as his work at MTV begins to wind
down. Another comedian, David
Spade, has been slowly worked in
to replace Joyner as the host of
"The Half Hour Comedy
_
Hour."
Right now, Joyner is only doing
60 percent of the shows, about
15
of them, and Spade hosts the other
10.
Joyner said he plans tc do stand-
Circle

up until the next thing comes along.
"l
'm trying to write a show,"
Joyner said, "but there's nothing
concrete yet." Phil Collins songs
boomed from the theater while
Joyner ate straw-berries and a pear
in the dressing room - complete
with light-ringed mirrors, called the
green room because of its sea green
cement walls. As 8 p.m. crept
closer, the drawn, haggard expres-
sion that was on Joyner's face
when he arrived had disappeared.
Sometimes
it
is better to play
at
small colleges," J.9yner said. "Big
schools have so much other stuff
going on. Small ones are much
more concentrated."
In his act, Joyner joked about
playing at Marist. Joyner said: "I
said to my agent
,
'I don't care
about being on Arsenfo or Carson!
·
When am l gonna play Marist Col-
lege?" Joyner is no stranger to col-
lege. He graduated from the
University of Pittsburgh in 1983
with a degree in information
systems - "computer science from
a human point of view" in Joyner's
words. Six months before gradua-
tion, Joyner started playing around
with comedy.
His first job was in a club called
The Funny Bone in Pittsburgh for
a couple hundred dollar
s
a week.
"I'm not a comedian for the
rrioney," Joyner said with a laugh
that sneaks its way into his act
when he cracks himself up
.
He recalls taking a bus from Pitt
-
sburgh to St. Louis, a 16 to 17 hour

According to Hedrick no doctor

Pervelco had an opening in
housekeeping and she started

came to Marist in 1974 and

so long has a lot to do with the
students she has encountered.

'The art of subtlety'
by
AARON WARD
After reading last ,veek's letter to the
editor, I was encouraged by the fact that so-
meone took the time to read the column.
Now,
that I have your full attention, here is
some more food for thought. There is
nothing like the fine art of subtlety.
As I researched this week's column, I came
across some more interesting tidbits about
Campaign
'92.
-I
find it unfortunate and disturbing that
the campaign coverage appears to Jack
fairness to both candidates.
·
Most of the mainstream press appear to
endorse Bill Clinton under the guise of cam-
paign coverage.
I
agree, George Bush's record on the
.
economy is
·
miserable and he needs to revise
his plans. But remember, it is easy to criticize
those who already hold office.
Clinton, without a doubt is a new kind of
Democrat.lmust give credit where credit is
due. He has befriended big business and has
received large campaign contributions from
staunch Republicans. Everyone from Wall
Street businessmen and corporate America
to middle class American seem to be jump-
ing on the Clinton bandwagon.
Clinton has found a coalition composed
of conservative Democrats, alienated
Republicans, an increasing number of
wealthy Republicans and all those generally
disappointed in George Bush. I still main-
tain my skepticism about several of Bill Clin
-
ton's proposals, including health care
coverage. My skepticism about his
.
health
·
care policy
is
a healthy skepticism. Clinton
does plan to have government regulate the
insurance markets which might bring about
managed competition in the health care in-
dustry .He says despite government regula-
tion, hewants less
.
people on the government
payroll making decisions. I question his abili-
ty to reconcile these two desires
.
.
.
·
;
Regulating insurance markets is a smart
idea because it would lower the costs of
health care by targeting the major cause of
health care expenses. How do you regulate
the insurance markets without a government
agency? In order to regulate health care, you
11eed a
·
government agency. Yet, Clinton
wants less people on the government payroll.
Logically, these two ideas are at odds. Clin-
ton wants corporations to willingly support
a national health care plan. How dp you en-
courage corporations to
invest
in something
that will rio
.
t directly benefit them? Do not
forget, BiH Clinton is receiving donations
from those very same corporations. Bush has
decided to challenge Clinton on the effec-
tiveness of such a plan by questioning the
ability of small and medium sized businesses
to afford to pay for health care. If small and
medium sized businesses are financially
strained enough trying to meet federal
regulations on health care, will that be a
positive
.
effect on
·
the economy? Probably
not.
·
Bill Clinton has the right idea to incor-
porate private businesses and federal govern-
ment on health care, but tax incentives to
businesses might work better. It is a safe
assumption that if Bill Clinton gets elected,
he will raise taxes to help pay for programs.
After all, the plan is for the government to
use its tax money to invest in programs such
as national health care. Although Clinton
says he plans to raise taxes on those who are
making $200,000 or more a year, my fear is
the middle class will
be
stuck with more truces
as well.
Bill Clinton may not be able to pass that
new tax bill so quickly through Congress·. I
still believe, we need
to
re-examine how we
spend our money, now.
Bush's balanced budget amendment
makes sense to me. This country is built
around debt, the debt created by Republican
and Democratic presidents alike. Thankful-
ly, the Federal Reserve has been able
·
to lower
interest rates,
·
due to high amounts of
pressure from the Bush administration: This
should have stimulated investment, it has not
because consumers have lost their faith in the
economy, along with businessmen. Many
consumers have lost their job as well as their
faith.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
If you
-
can't
.
beat us, join us
Editor:
This letter was written in response to the
September
14;
1992 article which appeared
in the Poughkeepsie Journal regarding
Marist students and their behavior. We may
be a plague, but at least we're not stupid. We
may have a mob mentality when we.are
drunk but that's better than having no men-
tality at all. It is hard to believe there was
nothing better to have a town meeting about,
.
than us. Where do a group of people who
have a bee hive for a town seal get off judg-
ing students? For the few who may have not
noticed there are a few items which are slight-
ly out of kilter in this town. Apparently, at
this meeting of the minds there were many
suggestions and comments about Marist
students. I find it pretty damn funny that a
city councilman not only had a Marist Stu-
dent handbook but was also able to recite
from it as well. What.about reciting from the
Constitution where it says the United States
is a free country. Councilman Letterrii
knows where his handbook is, do you?
Another suggestion came from a landlord on
Taylor Avenue who thought Maristcould
better utilize their computers to track down
disruptive offcampus students. I beg to dif-
fer. Marist could better utilize their com-
puters for better reasons like using it to get
tuition bills right the first time or an even bet-
ing suspicion that local union 812 is not go-
ing to win. As we all know, unemployment
is a petty problem compared to students hav-
ing fun. While on the subject of signs, I
always get a kick out of seeing the "No
Whistling" sign posted in one of the apart-
as the "Parking except for the 23 hour
period". In other words drivers have been
allotted an entire hour to park. Figuring out
which hour is another story altogether. Small
wonder students living on Taylor Avenue
had to resort to parking on the sidewalks
.
It
is a pretty sad state of affairs when a bunch
ter use would be be to make new ID cards
that actually resemble the students. Have you
e~er noticed any of the signs around here?
How about the "Don't Buy Pepsi" billboard
which has been displayed for the four years
·
that I have attended Marist? I have a sneak-
ment buildings on I Mt. Carmel Place.
·1
bet
those kids on Taylor Avenue whistled at the
wrong hour and that is where the situation
went out of control. Rowdy action to take
here in Potown, whistling after 7 p.m. Even
the kids from the town in "Footloose" were
allowed to whistle.
If
you think the "No
Whistling" sign seems a bit silly then why
not take a look at the 23 hour "No Park-
ing" signs posted throughout Potown as well
of smashed students can make more sense
than street signs. To the residents who ob-
ject to Marist parties: Hey, we never said you
could not attend our parties. Besides some
of us have taken a strong liking to pick-up
trucks with gun racks. So, if you can't beat
us, join us.

SGA speaks out on story
Do you believe ...
Editor:
I am writing in regards to
'
the ar~
tide and editorial dealing with the
Senate decision concerning the
Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity. First
of all, the headline on the cover
already incriminates Student
Government. The Circle is to cover
the stories and their facts and pre-
sent them clearly.
It is apparent
that . the
first
paragraph
demonstrates bias towards SGA
and conveys an improper portrayal
of SGA.
How can you criticize SOA when
your articles were
.
incorrect? Where
is the professionalism in the staff
writers at the Circle? Did they
forget that "they are not
.
ni'erely
students anymore?" The articles
they write are supposed to deal with
.
facts. However, if the context
.
is
altered, they (the writers) are
misleading the reader. To support
how it
.
was taken out of context,
here are a few examples. The first
problem is in the first sentence. The
Senate did not reverse the 7-1 deci-
sion. The Senate voted on amen-
ding a clause in the 7-1 decision.
The 4-0 decision was on reinstating
the rush and adding seven more
sanctions. The editorial stated that
Brian Vetter casted one of the
abstention votes. This is not true.
He voted in favor of the motion.
One issue that I would like to
clarify is that I was misquoted in
the context of "they got away with
murder!' I did not make up this
quote. 1

the
Circle what other

students. felt
about the senate decision. Another
point of clarification is that Tom
Arnold asked
if
he could com-
promise _with our decision. He did
not appeal the decision.
If
they
were to appeal, it would have gone
thrnugh the Judicial Board.
Rude students hurt Marist
Editor:
I'm involved with a number of

in Dut-
chess CountY., Recently, knowing
that

at Marist one of my
.
community acquaintances said to

me,
"I'm
surprised at how rude
·
:
·
your students are!" Taken aback
by his statement I asked him to ex-
_,
plain. I should say at the outset that
l:kno,v this man to be honest and
sincere. As
-
it curns out, he is af-
.
filiated with one of the contractors
supervising the upcoming construc-
tion of new residence facilities on
our campus. On a good number of
occasions, when on campus,
.
he has
overheard remarks about the
'workmen made by students walk-
ing to class (i.e. "Get a real job,"
etc.). Maybe these remarks aren't
meant to be heard, he admits, but
if he heard them certainly
--
then
other men dtd. It was only after I
shared my positive experiences with
Marist students that he added,
"Well, yeah, some of the students
do say hello in a friendly way."
·
Interesting how the negative im-
age stuck! Who knows how many
people he has repeated this story to,
not to mention the men on his
crew. I know this is not indicative
of the attitude of most of our
students, but I 'II never
·
convince
this guy. His mind-set has been fix-
ed by the behavior of certain in-
dividuals.
If
you were one of those
individuals, please check your at-
titude. The work these men do is
valuable, and they are making your
-
campus a better place. -And please
do check your manners

These peo-
ple are visitors to our campus. Just
as importantly, you are hurting
Marist's good name.

Editor:
Once again, I have criticism of
the world of politics according to
Aaron Ward. In a conservative,
·
These senators were elected to
office to represent the voice of the
students at Marist College.
Students involved in all aspects of
SGA have dedicated their time
to
serving the students. What right do
you have in telling us that we are
flip-flopping our decisions because
we have no faith in ourselves! The
main purpose of Student Govern-
ment is to protect the rights of the
students and
to represent the stu
-
dent voice. In this case, the student
voice was heard, and the senate
responded to it faithfully. In con-
.
dusion; if you intend to publish
further articles on SGA or any
aspect of
SGA,
the Circle's ac-
curacy is paramount. Unfortunate-
ly, you and your staff have failed
to portray what journalism is sup-
posed to encompass; honesty and
truthfulness.
righ
_
t-wing publication, Ward's col-
umn would be well~received. But,
in a small school publication, with
only one political column, some
balance must be made. Ward is
misrepresenting Bill Clinton while
plugging President Bush, such as
on the issue of health care. Ward
says, "Sorry, Clinton, oldboy, I
just do not want to end up paying
more taxes for health care that is
outrag~ously expensive." He fur-
ther states that Bush's plan of tax-
breaks, vouchers and decreased
regulations are the solution. Well,
)f this is~the solution, then why
haven't we seen this put into ac-
tion? Why is it that Bush ducked
questions about a national plan un-
til Clinton offered one? Why is it
that Bush, the "family values"
man, hasn't implemented a na-
tional health care plan? And where
do
you
attribute
these
"outrageously expensive" health
care bills? Well, we can attribute
some of these high costs to
deregulation. Without regulations
malpractice and insurance costs
surge.Better luck next week.

one at Donnelly doesn't work, then
you have to walk to the other side
of campus to the bank or drive off
campus to get money." Another
problem frequently complained
about by students is the machines
"eat" or keep their cash cards.
"Sophomore year I needed
money so I went to the Bank of
New.York cash machine. It told me
I had an invalid PIN number (per-
sonal identification number),
which it wasn't an~ asked for the
number again," said Katherine
Grady, a senior from Mansfield,
Mass. In addition, her second at-
tempt was not successful.

ly 30 to 40 members.
Miriam Arensberg, a spokesper-

Et Al), said that BAGLE is one of
the most active organizations on
their campus.

MCI's long distance service to
Marist College was disconnected
for approximately seven or more
hours on Friday according
to
Tim
Lawton, a telecommunications
anaylast at Marist.
.. "I put the same number in and
the machine ate my card.
I
was
mad, but, I had another card from
home. l tried the second card and
the machine said the same thing; an
invalid PIN number, which it
wasn't again, and after repeating
the procedure ate that card too,"
said Grady. "I was really pissed
and to top it off, I now had no
money." According to Maryann
More, a branch administrator from
the Mid-Hudson Savings Bank, the
problem might be solved.
For the machine in Donnelly,
parts were updated and replaced.
One new feature was not necessari-
ly a welcome update, students can
no longer take out money in $10 in-
crements, it has to be in 20s. "That
was the reason the machine was go-
ing through so much money, it was
hard to keep it stocked up," More
said.
According to More, there are
two canisters in the machine which
cannot be filled with bills over the
weekend, so keeping the amount at
$20 only will keep it stocked up.
Mid-Hudson Bank's vault is on a
time lock, so if the machine runs
out of money on the weekend,
tough luck. No one can get into the
vault until Monday.
"This is more convenient for our
customers to· get money," More
said. "Even if it's more than they
needed, at least they get money."
Marist, whose GLBSA has four
members, has a virtually invisible
gay and lesbian population, Fries
said. Fries added that people are at
different places and have different
needs and that Marist's GLBSA
acts as a support group, not a
politically active group, making
them less visible on campus. "The
fact is that (gay) students are not
l?eing drawn to our school for the
"At the Bank of New York, a
new machine replaced the one they
had because it was down more than
it was up, it just never worked,"
said Stacie Morrison, a personal
banking representative. The. new
machine is not supposed to run out
of money at all.
A
higher limit of
money in the machine itself and a
reserve vault in the machine will
keep it stocked throughout the
weekend for users. However, some
· students do not believe the machine
will stay stocked.
"I haven't been able to get
money out of there at all this year,
and I live in Gartland.I just have
bad timing I think," said Danis. A
suggestion given by many students,
to help keep more money accessi-
ble, is to add an additional cash
machine in the.campus center.
"It
would be easier because the River
Room and bookstore are down
there, so if they need money, they
can get to it," said Dara Hecht, a
senior from New Windsor, N.Y.
Although the Bank of New York
doesn't see adding machines on
campus in the future, Mid-Hudson
Savings Bank might. "To be
perfectly honest, we didn't look to
see if there was enough volume,"
More said. "We're open to sugges-
tions if someone from Marist call-
ed, we might do it."
.. lack of political activism. Vassar
for a long time has had a reputa-
tion for an active gay population
and a long tradition of political ac-
tivism," Fries said.

The disconnection resulted during a
move of the long distance service's
switching point, that supplies
Marist, from White Plains to
Hillbourne, NY.
Long distance service on campus

til about

Lawton.

"Rider was just a real good team," she said. "Each g8:me c<;mld have

The men's soccer team will look
to end its scoring drought today
against the Iona Gaels.
On Saturday, Marist dropped a
2-1
decision to Rider College.
Freshmen Steve Horsfall scored
the lone goal for the Red Foxes.
Junior goalie Ryan Smith stop-

shots in net for Marist.
· Head Coach Howard Goldman
said the team is playing well, but
the goals are not coming.
"I don't have any magical solu-
tion or big cpmplaints,'' he said.
"We're playing good attacking soc-
cer, but we're not converting on
our scoring opportunities."
Although the team is playing
well, Goldman
is still
looking for
more offensive firepower. "We
need a little more team speed and
another foreign player who could
score goals," he said. Last week,
the Red Foxes lost 5-1 to
nationally-ranked Adelphi.
Senior Bob Angrilla scored the
only goal for Marist on an assist
from fellow classmate Shawn
Scott. The last two Adelphi goals
came when the Red Foxes were a
man down. Goldman said the team
played too inconsistently to beat a
strong club like Adelphi. "Adelphi
plays the ball quickly and accurate-
ly," he said.
. ·.
Senior Lou Schmidt said the'
team has not won many close
games because of temporary let-
downs. "We played really well
against Rider," he said. "We had
little lapses and let them get on
top." Schmidt said he believes the
team has to play the full game with
·the same level of intensity. "We
can't afford to have breakdowns,"
he added. "We have to jumpout
front. first."

After settling for third-pl;:tce finishes in each of.its previo.us two meets ·
this season, the women's cross country team finally made it over the
hump. The Foxes came away .with the victory in.a field ofJJ schools,
includingtwo Nort.heastConference _teams.1Jie men did not exactly ~m-
barrass themselves, either, as they took second outof 39 teams'. Tropical
Storm Danielle affected the raceat-historic Van Cortlandt Eark in the
Bronx by providing driving rain, wind, mud, puddles and slippe!Y footing.
Coach Phil Kelly felt the conditions gave his squad an advantage. "We
actually benefitted because our team.does not rely on speed, but we are
hard headed. The girls run hard and don't let things bother them. The
tougher the race, the .more we'll shine," he said ..
The weather conditions just made the.victory that much sweeter for
Kelly and his troops,
"This was atremendous
win
for them. They now have their own iden-
tity (without Jen VonSuskil, the women's top runner, out for the year
with an illness). We've never really .won a meet like this. It's great for
the girls and great for the program. It's nice to see them have _succ~ss
because they work so hard." Freshman Melissa z.obel led Manst with
a sixth-place finish and a time of 20:48. Within ten seconds of her _were
senior co-captain Sarah Sheehan and fellow freshman Theresa Hickey
who finished in ninth and 11th place, respectively. Colleen Carson (19th,
21:25) and Kristy Ryan (29th, 21:45) rounded out Marist's topJive in
the· 5,000 meter event. On the.men's side, junior D.avid Swift once again
led the Foxes with a sixth-place finish and a time of 27:35. Junior co-
captain Marty Feeney took ninth with his time of 27:46. Rod Rose
alsomade the top twenty, running what his coach called a ''smart race''.
The accomplishments of the freshman from Stormville,
N,Y.,
prompted
Coach Pete Colaizzo to commend his "poise and composure of an up-
perclassman." Saturday the men and women go west.
Syracuse is the home of the LeMoyne Invitational where the team had
its worst meet last .year.

One freshman provided the on-
ly. ray. of hope in a week of
rain outs.
Marist freshman Sue Hoffman
won the only match in the Red
Foxes 8-1 loss to Iona College.
Marist played only one of its
four scheduled matches· because of
inclement wea·ther.
offman's win was her first of the
season.
The freshmen defeated Lisa
D'lorio 0-6, 6-4, 7-6 (7-4).
"I lost the first match so quick-
ly and got really nervous," she
said. I became unconfident of my
game, butit turned around for the
better," Hoffman said.
It had become apparant to
Coach Harrison that Hoffman was
quickly becoming unsure of her
game, so he gave her a few words
of confidence and sent her out to
finish off her opponent. "She felt
nervous in the first set and wanted
to stop," he said. "She hung in
there and in the middle of the se-
cond set the other· girl seemed
tired."
"lt
will be very competitive," Colaizzo declared. "We'll have to fight
for a victory."
Deidre Sullivan scored both goals for Marist, but it wasn't
enough as Mt St. Vincent won 3-2 on Sunday.
In the remaining singles matches,
juniors Heather Lapier and Katy
Seward both lost to two tough Iona
opponents. · Kim Zilai and Kim
Haight were also defeated in two
sets. Christine Baker lost a gruel-
ing match to Sara Lockamyer in
two tie breakers. The scores .were
