and their families.''
Many seniors appeared confus-
ed by the changes in graduation as
well as Senior Week.
..
"I've heard that Senior Week
was being canceled and that there
was no place for graduation," Greg
Reisert, 21, a senior form Hewlett,
N.Y., said. Senior Week will go on
as
planned and so far there have
been no problems with the plann-
ing of any senior activities, accor-
ding to President Murray.
"I cannot comment on rumors,"
The construction project, which
is the largest in the history of
Marist, must begin right away if it
is to be completed by August 1994.
The area surrounding the Cham-
pagnat lot will be used for a new
mid-rise dormitory that will house
324 students. Many students realize
the need for expansion but admit
construction on campus can be in-
convenient. "As long as the new.

"I'm not -as concerned for

Riley said.
'
And one person, sought through
the confusion and rumors and
noticed irony.
"I'm a little mad about it,"
Peter Gaudiello, 21, a senior from
Westhampton, N.Y. said of the
latest ~onstruction. "I guess it's ap-
propnate, though. When I first got

An off,campus robbery was
reported at 2 a.m.; Saturday, Jan.
23, when three males approached
a Marist student and his guest on
Washington Avenue, threatening
to cut them with a broken bottle,
according to Joseph Leary, direc-
tor of safety and security.
Brian Mansfield, a freshman
from Queens, N. Y., and Brian
Cullenburn, from Bayside,
N.Y.,
were walking back from a friend's
hC>use,
when Cullenburn walked up
to a group of males and asked for
the time, according to Mansfield.
"When I started to walk over to
my friend, two guys broke off the
ends of their beer bottles and put
the jagged edges to our necks
demanding money," Mansfield
said.
Cullenburn, a freshman at New
Providence College, had his wallet
with $30 or $40 in it, a lighter and
cigarettes stolen from him, accor-
ding to Mansfield. Mansfield said
the male who threatened him, took
$15 and backed off quietly before
he ran with the other assailants past
the railroad trestles.

There is one student who does not mind the loud noises.
"I am used to it by now," said Kate Castle, a sophomore who lives in Gregory. "The workers start earlier,
but my classes are at 8:15 (a.m.) and I'm not really inconvenienced."
Others have not been so grateful.
"The workers are supposed to warn us in advance with a horn when they are going to do something,"
said Tara Dixon, a sophomore resident of Benoit. "I scheduled my classes later in the day purposely so I
can sleep, but now I am awakened by the loud noises as early at 8 a.m .. "
According to the SGA Update, the townhouses will be completed by the fall, and house students who would
have lived in some Canterbury apartments and the North Road residences.

A failed attempt to become a

This improv group of eight, slightly
maladjusted, students can be ex-

stage, and off.
'"Anywhere we go, we always
make

said
Jeff
Baumgardner, a sophomore from
Trumbull, Conn. and one of the
group's founders.
"It
doesn't mat-
ter if we're in an elevator or just
hanging around, we're always
making up new material."
Baumgardner brought up the
idea to his friends after seeing im-
prov groups such as Whistling
Shrimp, Purple Crayons, and
Erasable INC., perform at the
Skidmore Comedy Festival a year
ago.
The HuMarists hatched almost
overnight.
With
the help . of fellow

The HuMarists attempted to
become chartered as a new club
during the cap period when there
was a moratorium on the creation
of new clubs, according to Bob
Lynch, coordinator of student
activities.
"They seem to have gotten
frustrated because we couldn't give
them everything they wanted right
then and there," said Lynch. "I
then suggested that they become
part of MCCTA (Marist College
Council of Theater Arts."
"Clubs have to go through a lot
of red tape," said Ed Budd, presi-
dent of MCCT A, and a new
member of the HuMarists. "It's
just that these guys had to go
• through rainbows of tape."
Finally, Budd and. MCCTA
decided
to gamble
on the
HuMarists by adding them to their
Experimental Theater Group. The
Coffee '92 tour followed.
"We played anything with 'cof-
fee' in the title," said Baumgard-
• ner. "We wanted to start fast. We
only had $50, so we needed to get
paid."
Coffee houses and other assorted
gigs at CJub
248
and Fireside earn-
ed the group a chance to open for
TGIF comedians and their own
show.
"We (the Student Programming
Committee) gave the HuMarists
their break by letting them perform
as an opening act to Paul Venir,"
said Tim Owens, president of SPC.
The result was the biggest coffee
house in Marist history, a show
that sold more tickets than Mario
Joyner.
Enticing students to, "Come
Naked," the HuMarists managed
to sell

Soph visits Egypt's.pyramids
as part of art independent study
by
ELIZABETH VAZQUEZ
Staff Writer
Imagine yourself
travelling
around a country where no one
looks like you, no one acts like you,
and not many people speak your
language.
T~is is what Debbie Vazguez ex-
perienced when she travelled to the
Middle East over Christmas break.
Vazquez, 19, is a Fine Arts major
from Queens, N.Y, who was able
to travel to Egypt, Greece and
Turkey to do independent research
for art history credits.
Nineteen other students from
various colleges also made the trip.
Throughout the trip, Vazquez was
amazed at the different lifestyles
the people from various countries
had. She had never before been to
Egypt and it was quite a culture
shock for her.
":fhe first thing I thought when
I stepped off the plane was, 'God,
we all look so American!' '' Vaz-
guez said. "Everyone was staring
at us."
She said most of the students
were wearing shorts and T-shirts
and were very different from the
Egyptians clothes. "All of the men
were wearing turbans and the
women were draped in black from
head to toe," she said. "I wore
long pants most of the time because
if you didn't the people would just
stare at you like you were commit-
ting a crime."
The week-long trip began in nor-
thern· Egypt. After a Jong cruise
down the Nile River, the trip end-
ed in southern Egypt. The students
took in many historic sights.
"I got to ride a camel through
the Sahara Desert and I saw the
Great Pyramids," Vazquez said.
"They were absolutely incredible.
The fact that people made them
with practically no equipment .is
unbelievable."
Vazquez said the pyramids add-
ed some adventure to the trip
because she was allowed to explore
inside one of the smaller ones.
"It was like a huge maze," she
said. "There were tunneJs and
caverns everywhere. It was scary,
though, because we had no idea
where we were going. One of the
guys I was with saw a spider that
was as big as his hand!"
The weather was around 95
degrees through most of the day,
but at night the temperature would
plummet;
Temperature had no effect on
Vazguez who climbed to the top of
.one of the bigger pyramids to get
breath-taking photographs. Accor-
ding to Vazguez, one of the high
points
of the trip was the
friendliness and the hospitality of
the Egyptian people.
"The people there were very
eager and they seemed to want to
show off their country," she said.

to
commend you
and your staff for your excellent ar-
ticles on and by adult students in
the fall issues of The Circle.
The articles on Noemi Fer-
nandez, Lisa Paydon, and Mat-
thew Michael illustrate the variety
of experiences the adult student
brings to Marist.
Since the adult undergraduate

THE CIRCLE, FEBRUARY..4,
1993
For women's hoops,it's a questioil of money
. guys get to go a day before the game and stay
by
KRISTINA WELLS
Staff Writer •
Money makes the world go round.
It is no different for the women's Division
I basketball team.
The Marist College women's basketball
team is no exception because they are females
playing in a male-dominated sport.
The Red Foxes have the potentia to recruit
high caliber players, but the amount of
money they receive is not purely decided
upon by the school. It is based on reimburse-
ment from the NCAA.
According to Gene Doris, the director of
. athletics, the amount of money to maintaim
an athletic program is expensive. ''No mat-
ter what, in any Division I school, athletics
are expensive," he said; "However, when
you look at the total amount per capita, you
are not spending that much. It is a large pool
of money divided among approximately 400
athletes." The athletic department and
Marist administration did not disclose budget
information saying it is not school policy.
Doris said it costs the school more to send
the women's basketball team to a game then
the men's team. The NCAA_ guar;intees a
certain amount of money to the scffool for
both teams every time they travel. The
women's program is the most costly to main-
tain
because they do not receive a large
guarantee from the NCAA, he said.
"For example, it is $400 for airfare and
$65
per day for a three day minimum stay
at a quality hotel, like the Marriott, then you
have to figure an average of $15 per day for school.

get too many students attending the games,
but walking to class they recognize you and
ask how the game was," the senior guard
said.
.
Dengler said the strong support of the
men's basketball teamis always going to be

and the crowds. Women are becoming more
involved in all aspects of the sport, she add-
ed. "The men are getting the support of the
alumni and the public," she said.
''I
used to
get mad about the lack off ans, but I think
the women's basket~ ball has taken a turn for
. the better."
•
Fields said the team is getting much more-
support now because the Poughkeepsie Jour-
nal is printing scores and write-ups in the dai-
ly paper about the team.
"I
think.the Jour-
nal has done a good job of covering us this
year," she said. "A lot of people who have
never seen our team don't know what it is
all about, so they flock to the men's games.
But, I think that is changing."
Jeff Bower, the assistant head coach of the
men's basketball team, said the.women's
team is on par with the mens' in respect to
scholar- ship.
According to Bower, it is hard to say what
the difference between the two programs is
in respect to travel expenses.

Ivanoff said the students ~~re
given an option to take anything
out .of the apartment by. Feb. 1
because maintenance had to begin
remodelling• the apartment.
According to Ivanoff,
the
students have been relocated to
64B, and Marist picked up the tab
to hook-up their phone to make
their transition easier.
Although, items of sentimental
value like books, posters and audio
tapes were difficult to price,
Ivanoff said.
"The dollar amount on some of
the_
valuables is hard to gauge," he
said. "The question is what was
and what wasn't destroyed when
the pipe broke."
Hammeke said the housing of-
fice is putting a $1000 cap on his
personal items, and a similar cap
for McCauly's valuables. The
students said it was a "reasonable
amount" for the damage.
The residence director also said
he compares the flooded apartment
to a burglary because there was no
way of knowing the pipe would
break
and
damage
certain
valuables.
"This points out the importance
why we (Marist) encourage people
to take their valuables home,"
Ivanoff said. "Normally,
we
wouldn't compensate, but this was
so
incredibly out of the ordinary
tQat we wanted the students to get
a fair deal from the college." .

On January 4, most Marist
students were at home, possibly
still recovering from their New
Year's celebrations_
..
Whatever they
were doing, their minds were cer-
-
tainly· not on
•
returning
to
Poughkeepsie, N. Y.
,-with
over half
the "vacation'.' remaining.
_
The swimming/diving team,
however,_
did return that day; near-
ly three weeks before their
classmates. The "intercession train-
ing process;'' as Coach Larry Van
Wagner likes to call it, began with
a rigorous first week-six days of
four-and-a-half hour workouts.
Apparently, the hard work paid
off for the men's team.
In the first meets of 1993, the
team promptly defeated St. Peter's
and Fairfield and then went on to
achieve 20 season bests at Southern
Connecticut. They tallied 18 more
when nationally-ranked University
of Connecticut visited the McCann
Center.
•
Although the latter two competi-
tions resulted in losses for the Red
Foxes,-Van Wagner pointed to the
continued individual progress be-
ing made by_ his swimmers.
"The· eritire 20-week season is
gearecJ.
toward realizing our max-
im1.1m'
potential" the coach stated.
Van Wagner continues to em-
phasize this philosophy, rather
than one which focuses solely on
wins and losses.
For this reason, he made sure the
fiercest competition would come in
the final stages of the team's
schedule; thus adequately prepar-
ing them for the climax of the
season - the Metropolitan Swim-
ming and East Coast Athletic Con-
ference Championships.
Van Wagner said the expected
final dual meet record of five wins
and five loses would be "fine."
The
UConn
meet
was
highlighted for the Foxes by a pair
of sophomores.
Ron Gagne and Matt Bluestein
finished first· and second in both
the 200-yard individual medley
(l.M.)
and breaststroke races.
Gagne topped all in the 1.M. with
his time
·or
2:05.85, 3.07 seconds
better than Bluestein.
The Lincoln, R.I., native also
took the breaststroke competition
by four-and-a-half seconds over his
teammate, timing 2:17.29.
Gagne was also part of the vic-
torious 400-yard medley team
which
_
also
consisted
of
sophomores Brett Arnold, Angel
Tomala
and freshman
Kyle
O'Neill.
The squad's time of 3:44.69
touched out their opponent's
leading relay team by just nine-
tenths of a second. Against
Southern Connecticut, Gagne and
Bluestein
were
joined
by
sophomore Ethan Sencer to take
the top three spots, respectively.
The 400 freestyle relay team of
senior captain Paul Czajak and
freshmen Mike Flynn, James Mac-
calous and Kevin Richards was also
a winner.
•
On Wednesday, the squad took
on Fordham (results were not
available at press time).
