"I believe condoms should be

Anything which contributes to safe

is a plus," Susan DeSanna,
associate director of fashion said.
"I think they should be available
in the bookstore just as any other
merchandise is in the store."
Others agree: "We're not runns
ing a grocery store or a drug store
on campus, but certain necessities
such as condoms should be
available," Margaret Calista, direc-
tor of the social work program
said.

Steve Sansola,

When asked if having condoms
on campus would be 1_>.romo!ing
or
encouraging sex, Cahsta said that
having condoms available would be
representing more of an awareness
than an encouragement.

.
.
"l
·
think it (having condoms
available) is being realistic and
demonstrating
a concern for
..
students and members
.of
the
Marist community,'' she said.
-"We need to dev~l~p a better
understanding about sexual rela-
tionships to students," Calista
added.
Altqough not aH members of the
faculty and adminis.tration agree,
and still many remain undecided.
"I have very mixed feeling about
selling condoms on campus," said
Richard Atkins, professor of
history. ''I am sympathetic with
those that argue that the availabili-
ty of condoms can be seen as an en-
couragement to engage in sexual
activity, while. with the whole
phenom.enon of AIDS being so
horrifying, I feel as an institution
it is our job to ensure that the
students are as safe as possible."·
From the perspective of the col-
lege, Atkins said he felt the ad-
ministration needs to be conscious
of what the students are doing in
·tenns
of sexual activity, although

The Academy of Motion Pictu~e Arts and
Sciences is getting ready for its 65th annual
ceremony. This big popularity contest will
take place on March 29, and Oscars will be
awarded to the best performances of the past •
year.

,In the best picture category, picking up
nine nominations, is "Howard's End.»This
film stars last year's winrier for best actor
Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson
("Dead Again"). Did anyone see this? OK,
maybe a few people did. I don'.t doubt the
quality of this film, but I don't think it will
walk away with the Oscar; even with a
powerful lead like Hopkins.

Nat'l Ski Patrol: not all pow er and bumps
Paul Rudolph, new member of the National Ski Patrol.
by
JUSTI~ SEREMET
Staff Writer
Training to be a member of the
National Ski Patrol may not be as
easy as some people think.
F'or Paul Rudolph, a 21-year-old
senior from Breezy Point, N.Y.,
.passing the test that made him part
of the national organization recent-
ly brought that fact close to home.
"People didn't realize how
demanding the training could be,"
Rudolph said. "We're out at 7
a.m. getting trails ready, no mat-
ter what the weather may be like."
Rudolph has been skiing since he
was six and began taking first aid
courses in November 1991 after a
family friend suggested it.
"I
like,the role of making the
mountain safe," he said. "I assist
patrollers with injured skiers and
put up fences on trails."
Rudolph has passed several ex-
ams including a basic patroller test
and a first aid test. "We also had
to train using a toboggan, which is
used for carrying an injured person
down the mountain," he said.
In Rudolph's final test, he was
put in an emergency simulation in
which he had to find an injured
skier on the
hill,
treat the person
for first aid, and maneuver him
down the mountain on the tobog-
gan to the first aid center.
All
this
on an expert trail, no less.
.
"I
had to do this
as
quick as
possible," Rudolph said. "You
can't waste precious time since a
person's life could be at risk."
For example, he recalls, people
have been treated for lacerations
done by the sharp metal ski edges,
oftentimes slicing parts of the body
ranging from the shins to the·
genitalia.
"The skis are just so sharp," ex-
plains Rudolph. ''The number one
priority in a laceration case is to
stop the bleeding. Wherever it can
be." Treatments that can prove
hazardous considering the high
sanity and infectious deisease risks
that are abound.
"It (contracting a disease) is
something that you have to deal
with," says Rudolph. "We're
health care workers and you want
to protect yourself and your pa-
tients in every way." Currently, the
National Ski Patrol offers vaccina-
tions for specifically the Hepatitis
B virus. The vaccination, although
not required, is offered and en-
couraged by the organization.
Not only must Rudolph keep an
eye on others, but he must watch
himself at the same time. "The
weather
can
make
things
dangerous," he said.
"I
have to see
to it that people are OK, yet I have
to be careful myself."
Rudolph's work is strictly
volunteer and he must devote 20
days a season to it. "I've trained
so much," he said. "I've basically
had to plan my entire winter
around this."
His family recently bought a
home on the mountain at Ski Win-
dham, which made it convenient
for his weekend training.
"I
go
home Thursday, train on Friday,
Saturday, and sometimes Sunday.
By the time I get back to school
Sunday, I'm wiped out."
However, skiing has not in-
terfered
with
Rudolph's
schoolwork. 'flt helps organize my
time," he said. "I'm real tired on
Sundays, but I'm doing better than
ever with grades."
Rudolph plans to continue
volunteering after graduation if his
career allows. "Hopefully I'll be
able to find a job in the Tri-state
area that allows me to patrol on
weekends," he said.
Being a communications major
in radio/tv/film, Rudolph has been
using his skiing abilities to put
together a ski video.
"I've been working with the
media center to produce a safety ski
video," he said. "We're shooting
the video this semester and hope to
have it complete by April. It would
look good for a career in video."
_ Despite the fact that patrolling
makes Rudolph incredibly busy, he
loves what he does. "You've got to
love what you're doing," he said.
"You have to have a positive at-
titude and deal with a demanding
program.
"It's a great feeling to make a
rescue," he said. '.'I've always been
100 oercent sure of wanting to do
this."

Apparently somebody, probably not Kent Rinehart but somebody
who wanted him to win, broke SGA campaign rules.
Now what should have been a straightforward
election is an unfor-

Regardless of how the mess is ultimately straightened
out, regardless
of who takes the seat as SGA president, one thing is clear -
the Con-

references to campaign procedures
have to be reworked to
reflect reality.
.
And the reality is that candidates and their supporters
want to win,
and they want to convince people to vote for them.

There's nothing wrong with a good election campaign. In fact, an ac-
tive campaign would probably be good for voter turnout.

..
Politically correct language is a short-term
solution to a long-term problem-
misunderstanding between political and
social factions.
Perhaps
a
better solution to disagreements
is intelligent and sensitive discussion of issues
honestly and openly in person and in various
media without using the crutch of political-
ly correct language.
A greater sensitivity
to individual problems
and disagreements among politically diverse
groups would be fos~ered through the
abolishment of "PC language."

If I did not value diversity of opinion and

servatives. My ego does not need to be strok-
ed by similar political views expressed by
like-minded individuals. I appreciate support
just as anyone else does, but it is not a
necessary "high" for me to achieve.
Within the next several weeks, think about
the misconceptions
and commonly-held
con-
notations of the words: "diversity, conser-
vative and political correctness." If you feel
adamantly about an issue, do yourself and
your fellow-students the service of writing
a letter to the editor.
Only when political and social discussions
occur in an intelligent manner in campus-
wide media, do we have the hope of ap-
preciating but not necessarily agreeing with
one another here at Marist.

put it.

Human beings have sex drive.
True is that human beings have bet-
ter brains than other animals do to
initiate alternatives. I usually sug-
gest masturbation, which is what
really should be called safe sex.
Others are just safer sex.
It is unrealistic to intend to push
the society back to B.C. Everyone
in this age has responsibility, no
-
matter if you are male cir female,
young or old, gay or straight or
what ever ethnic and religious
backgrounds.
As long as something is done
with mutual consent, it is not con-
sidered wrong. It is wrong,
however, to sleep around practic-
ing unprotected sex because doing
so is threatening to other people's
lives.
Bro. Joseph L.R. Belanger is
right-condoms
fail to prevent
AIDS sometimes. Therefore, I ad-
vise my fellow students to think
twice before having sex with
anyone. Still, masturbation is an
alternative.
Marist College has always been
regarded as a really conservative
campus. Being conservative is
beneficial to a
certain
point, the ex-
treme of it, nevertheless, is very
destructive.
When are students going to live
on this campus without the harass-
ment
of
racism,
sexism,
homophobia and ignorance? 1

(On Feb: 20), it was Senior Night
for the varsity basketball game.
This means one thing-we finally

a chance to see Wil Den Ouden
play. Wil has been at Marist for
four years, he attends every prac-
tice and workout, and what does he
get: two minutes in the game on
Senior Night.
I think that this is more insulting
than putting him in the game at all.
Really Dave, don't just put Wil in
to make the senior night complete.
Put him in

do you even know how good Wil
is in
a
game if he never plays?
I would like to say that when \Vil
was introduced, the crowd went
crazy.
I
am
one of eleven other
guys that live in Townhouse C-1
with Wil, and I am proud to say
that we all follow the activity of the
basketball team.
.We
see thefreshmen players get
their time to prove to the fans and
the coaching staff that, "they can
play." But, we don't see the senior

Wil Den Ouden get his chance. Ac-
tually, what human can prove
himself inside of two minutes,
knowing that this will probably be
the most playing time he will see all
year.
Dave, you might think this is
fair, or, "in the best interest of the
team," but you might have another
star from Holland, and you don't
even know it because you don't
give him a chance to shine.

Many• baseball strategists believe
pitching· wiris ball games.
• Head Coach Art Smith will be
looking for the team to lower last
year's 7.34. earned run average
where opponents hit .326 against
the Red Foxes' pitching·staff.
Here's a breakdown on the top
six probable starters who will be
relied on to give the Red Foxes in-
nings and wins.

STEVE GRAHAM
Graham is the top returning
starter for Marist.
The senior will be looking to im-
prove on his 0-8 record and 6.07
earned run average in nine ap-
pearances (seven starts).
Head Coach Art Smith said
Graham pitched well and lost a lot
of one-run games and has improv-
ed his pitches which includes a
fastball, breaking ball, a split-
firiger and a straight change.
"Steve's got an outstanding
breaking ball and slider," the
second-year coach _said. "When his
split finger is on, it's excellent."
DARYL COSTELLO
The. junior is arguably the
hardest thrower on the team, ac~
cording to Smith.
• Costello was ineligible to play
• last
year because not enough of his
credits transferred.
The flame.thrower relies primari-
ly on the hard stuff -
fastball,
curveball and split-finger. Every
now• and then he throws in the
straight change.
.
"I'm mostly a fastball pitcher,"
he said. "I'm working on the split-
finger to keep. therri off balance.
It's getting good."
JEFF ROSE
. Rose had a rocky freshman cam-
paign notching a 2-3 record with a
7.
79 ERA in seven appearances
(four starts).
The sophomore was out for
roughly a week during spring train-
ing because of a groin injury, but
he is pitching now.
Rose throws a fastball, curveball
and a change-up.
"My change-up is my strikeout
pitch," he said. "I set it up with my
fastball."
"He has a big-league straight
change," Smith said. "He's work-
ing on a variation of change-ups."
JAY
GAVIGAN
Gavigan started in three games
and made 12 appearances for
Marist recording a
1-3
mark with
a.7;14 ERA.
The junior
pitcher hurls a
fastball; change-up, curveballand
now a knuckleball.

"Over the suinmer I worked on
the knuckleball," he said. "My
best pitch is the curveball.
SCOTT RONAGHAN
Smith said he feels Ronaghan
will be a key contributor to the pit-
ching staff. .
The sophomore throws the
fastball, curveball and is adding the
change-up as his third pitch.
"The change-up is coming along
pretty well," he said. "Last year I
had trouble throwing it for strikes.
This year I can basically throw it
where I want. to."
Ronaghan appeared in seven
games (starting two) and haq 1-1
record while notching a 7 .14 ERA.
MARK BARRON
The freshman has a good chance
to crack into the rotation, Smith
said.
Barron throws a fastball,
curveball and change-up.
"I had a fastball and curveball
in high school," he said. "I'm us-
ing the change-up more here. I'm
getting more action, but I'm still
having a little trouble throwing it."
After pitching 58 innings last year, this senior let up the least amount
of runs, hits and walks on the team. She also had the lowest ERA at 5.06.
"This year, I look forward to pitching." said the second-year transfer
from Merrimack College in Connecticut. "I'm ready to pitch. Last year,
I didn't feel ready."
Unfortunately, she may see limited time on the mound.
"The three main ones are Jen, Beth and Tricia," said Chiavelli. "But
Terri will probably get some action.''
When she does make her appearance on the hill, Barn bakidou can toss
every pitch her roommate Southworth can, except the mysterious "slick
itch."

Her trip to Marist began in the
summer of 1988. She attended a
softball camp in Connecticut where
she met future Red Fox teammate
Southworth and pitching instructor
Cliff Ong.
Ong invited Bamba.kidou to try
. out for the. Dutchess Debs; a
, summer-league team ih Dutchess
County,
N.Y.
The following sum-

in Torrington and one here," she
• said.

Marist at the time did not have
a softball team so Bambakidou at-
tended Merrimack College in her

began having differences with her
