Mario Cuomo was all ears as. he chaired a r()und-table discu~sion on
economic reform in the Hudson·Valley at.Marist College, Monday
..
Approximately 100 area business and political leaders participated in
the session triggered by the recent cutbacks at IBM..
.
"You've (the Hudson Valley) never had to be super energetic about
finding new opportunities. This is the first time you've been cha!lenged
this way," said Cuqmo, who stressed that the area has been rehant on
IBM for, "solid, predictable strength.'',
In .the closed-door meeting, topics ranged from enterprise zones to
stimulating small businesses aimed at diversifying the area's economy.
"Number one we have
.to
stay true to IBM, and be supportive of it.
Second, we· have to proliferate every other small opportunity you have,''
saii:i Cuomo in
a
press conference following the meeti.ng. "That offers
tremendous hope to the Hudson Valley."
Local representatives were encouraged by the visit, and hope that state
• money will follow.
.
.
.
''He is committed to providing state resources to help expedite ideas
in the Hudson Valley to bring development," said Shaileen Kopec, Vice-
President for Advancement at Marist, who attended the meeting as an
observer.-"The people of the Mid-Hudson have the talent to solve these
problems, and the state government is willing to work vigorously for solu-
: tions."
"You have some of the best educated people, some of the best institu-
tions, some of the finest living conditions in the state and in the coun-
• try," said Cuomo.
"If
you can't do it here, you can't do it"anywhere."
"You can turn the current strain and tension and concern into a whole
new positive era of development in the Valley," he.said.
Cuomo plans to see development through, as
.he
intends to return next
month for_a similar meeting.
"There is nothing more important than the chance to earn your own
. breaq. Therefore; my commih~el)t to the Hudson Valley trying to restore
a positive·locatenvironment is a priinary commitlllerit,'' said Cuomo.

A
three-year hiring freeze of new full-time
.
faculty continues to strain some divisions at
Marist College.·
.

"We have a
.hiring
freeze at the college and
we're nothiring anyone new,'' saidViricent
Toscano; chairman of· the• Division
.of
Humanities. "We don't have enough full-
time faculty for a college of this size."
The only new faculty being Jured this year
are to fill vacant positions in the upcoming
school year, said Marc vanderHeyden, vice
president of Academic Affairs.
"We are not·hiring any additional facul-
ty,"
vanderHeyden
said.
"Only
replacements of faculty."
In the past, hiring new full-time faculty
•
has occurred with significant increases in
enrollment, vanderHeyden said.
"We don't have the funds to add new
faculty lines,'' vanderHeyden said. "The in-
creases
in enrollment are not so dramatic."
But increases have occurred within the
Science Division, acco.rding to Andrew
Molloy, chairman of the division.
"In the science department there is a grow-
ing need to add another full-time faculty
member to support the growing number of
majors,"
Molloy said. "I think it's the fastest grow-
ing major at the time."

"Over the last three years fewer and fewer
faculty were involved i~ teaching core
courses," Molloy said. "As the number of
students in the major go up, you may have
to have the full-time faculty teach more and
more full-time courses.
I(
severely limits the

in the Division of Humanities.·In.the depart-

full-time professors and 145 majors, he said.
"We have a pretty heavy teaching load,''
Toscano said. "It's a juggling act."
Toscano said one effect of the few full-
time faculty is the dependence on adjunct
and parMime faculty.
"More and more (core courses) are being
taught by adjuncts and they don't have
enough time,'' Toscano said. "We'd really
strengthen the division with more faculty."
Toscano said this issue raises a "red flag"
over the long-term quality at Marist.
"Compared to institutions of the same size
our faculty is low," Toscano said. "We need

And the rockets' red glare, the
bombs bursting in air, gave proof
through the night...that after the
dust had settled in the theater last
Friday evening, ·something loud
and musical had happened.
The five bands that participated
in the Battle of the Bands contest
proved to be as diverse as the talent
they demonstrated, with musical
styles ranging from jazz improvisa-
tion to classic rock.
The event, which drew a
•
fairly
large number of enthusiastic peo-
ple, was hosted by comedian Kevin
James, who provided between-
band laughter.
The bands, in order of per.for-
mance, included: Woodpecker,
Sally Mudball, Dry Wall, The
Brownstone Trio, and Riff Raff.
The Brownstone.Trio took first
place in the competition, followed
by Dry Wall and Sally Mudball in
second
and
third

Sally' MucJ.ball's fie,ry perfor-

originals, titled "Caution" and
"Advil," as well as covers of
"State of Love and Trust," by
Pearl Jam and "Mustang Sally,"
most recently done by The .Com-
mitments. In addition to the usual
fiv~-piece band, Sally brought out
two female back-up singers and a
sax player for "M.ustang." They
were ·also able to overcome some
sound problems during "State" to
come off.with a big finish.
m?nce was extremely fluid and the
interaction between sax, bass, and
drums was tight. Towards the_
end
of their set, their jazz exploration -
seg~ed into a crowd- pleising v~r-

Led Zeppelin.

night, seemed ready to case the en-

'Boiling Point' generates little .heat
by
KRAIG DeMATTEIS
Wesley, Wesley, Wesley! What
is wrong? Are you this desperate to
get into action films _that you will
settle for any movie with a gun in
it? "Boiling· Point" is a
.mistake,
not a career move. We love you in
''Jungle ·Fever." We love you in
"White Men Can't Jump."" But
these string of low-rate action flicks
have. got -to go. They are killing
you!
In case you are wondering, that
-is my letter· to Wesley Snipes,
whose new movie, "Boilin!!
.
~
Point," I paid for two of my
friends to see with me. Please, do
not get me wrong, I did not go in-
to the movie with high expecta-
tions, so it is riot like I ani disap-
pointed
because
I wanted
something big. I just wanted an
entertaining· action movie with
some good stunts, big explosions,
a funny one-liner or two, and lots
of cool- looking guns with lar!!e
caliber
bullets.
You know,
something to keep me occupied and
• not have to think about all the
work I have to do.
But Fate would riot let me rest.
Nope, I sat through this one hour
and a half enema, dumbfounded
powerful_ group. in • Hollywood.
This movie did not know whether
to
be an action flick, a tragic story,
a dark comedv. or what~ver.
The ~tory
"is
from the book
"Money Men," and this is how the
story unfolds, like a book. But
-movies are not books; as everyone
is so quick to point out, so there is
a lot of thought~ and action left
out.
I
first thought that alt!i,ough
the movie was slow and choppy,
that it was leading up to some
clever ending or surpris·e twist. Un-
fortunately, nothing did. I soon
recalled my Ebert and the Oscar
Brotman'~ Law-
"If

down the killer of his partner. Of

movie, that one-liner like "I'll

already dull action. Perhaps you
have seen it· on TV already when
Snipes· says, "When I find that

IBM repercussions may affect sports program
bj, KRISTINA WELLS
Staff·
Writer
'
The Marist College athletic pro-
gram may be affected bythe recent
IBM lay-offs. •.
.
·,
.
Eugene Doris,
director
of
athletics, said the department's
.
greatest concern is how to attract
people to the entertainment offered
by Marist sports so that ticket sales
•
remain steady.
.
.
"The· ability of people to pur-
chase tickets· on
..
a regular basis
•
might be hampered," Doris said.
"I think every family that ends up
in a situation such as IBM will have
to
assess
their money more. The
competition
.
for that amount of
money will be· greater
than
before."
Gerard Cox, dean of student af-
fairs, said the athletic department
will have to create an atmosphere
that will make people in the area
aware
of tfte entertainment
available to them at Marist.
"An evening at a basketball
game is one of the best buys in
town. People will find out the
entertainment potential in their
own back yards and hopefully take
advantage. of
it,'~
Cox said:
Cox added that the school ex-
pects. the season
..
tkket
.
sales to
.
decrease~. but' these losses will be
balanced
'
by an increase in
_in-·
dividual ticket sales.
.
"In more difficult economic
times people are less inclined to put
.
out all of the money required.for
season tickets at one time," Cox
said. "They may:be more willing
to put up
.
the money for an in-
dividual ticket to a game."
The cost for two season tickets
to basketball home games through
the Red Fox Club is $200; and this
includes membership in the club,
choice seating, invitation to special
.
events, and tickets to the tourna-
ment at Madison Square Garden.
The price
for
two regular season
tickets varies, depending upon how
many home games the team has
during the season, but last year's
cost was $73~ which included
tickets to all home games and to the
tournament at· the
.Garden.
•
Doris said the college will have
to package its goods in such a way
that attracts people to buy in-
dividual tickets to the games to
keep the money flow stable.
"We are going to have to be
much more aggressive in terms of
marketing ourselves as a_product,"
he said. "The competition for
revenue will be much more severe
than it has been in past years."
The Red. Fox Club has given
Marist $450,000 in sponsorship
money spread out over a period of
twelve yei}rs.
•
Doris said financial support
given to the school by the Red Fox
Club will not change provided the
six members on the board affected
by the cutbacks remain in the area.
"Out
-of
20 members, six have
been affected. If they stay their in- •
volvement won't change, but if not
•
we have to find a way to replace
them," Doris said.
Cox said Mari st
is
not' concern-
ed with whether it will be able to
attract the same caliber of student-
athletes in terms of scholarship
money.
"We are giving out scholarships
in numbers which equal what is re-
quired by the NCAA and the NEC
to maintain membership," he said.
"The number will only decrease if
the NCAA decreases the required
amount of scholarships."
Doris said the cuts in budget will
not affect the area of scholarships
because Marist is at the minimum
end or'· the scholarship amount
.
available.
The normal operational budget
of the athletic department includes
funding already allocated to
scholarships and to the fees re-
quired to be a member in the
NCAA.
Doris said there are enough
revenues that come into the school
to offset the spending for various
things such as recruiting_ and
scholarship.
"Most of the revenues that do
come ·back to the school are
primarily from the NCAA," Doris
said.
The
NCAA 's
Academic
Enhancement Program brought
Marist $20,000 last year and
_may
increase to $30,000 next year.
Marist also receives a share in the
additional money brought in on the
Division I championship. Also, a
percentage of the scholarship
money is given back to Marist.
Doris said ne is unsure how· the
IBM cutbacks will affect Marist's
ability to recruit in future years.
"The amount of money to
recruit a prospect varies form sport
to sport," he said. "It is not that
expensive
when you look at the
amount of people we are (ultimate-
ly) giving our attention to."
On the average, the total amount
of money spent on recruiting in one
year for 20 sports is approximate-
ly $80,000, according to Doris .
"In terms of the total $80,000
represented, you are looking at_
about $1,000 per student-athlete
after we have narrowed down the
recruiting list," he said.
The total number of students in
the outreach for football is 200 pro-
spects to get an average of a 40 to
50 size class. Basketball outreach is
approximately 25 prospects to get
a class of four to five potential
athletes.
The main concern of the athletic
department, as well as the whole
school, is how it can attract publici-
ty and still help the area out of the
economic crisis.
Cox said in terms of the Tracey
Patterson boxing match, held at the
McCann Center on March 13, the
most
important
thing
was
publicity.
"We were on a national broacl-
cast from coast-to-coast. The fight

Shannon Roper has worn a silver
bracelet on her right wrist for
almost half her lifetime. •
No, it's not from her boyfriend
or her parents, it's a POW
/MIA
bracelet.
The plain silver band has graced
Roper's arm for seven years. •
A small inscription reads: SSgt.
Edward J. Bishop, Jr. 4/29/70.
"My mother has a friend who
works at a Veterans's Hospital,''
said Roper,
a junior
from
Southington, Conn. "She]ust ask-
ed me if I wanted one one day."
• "I said yes because my father
was a vet and I didn't want them
to be forgotten,'' Roper said.
Roper's father, an Air Force
mechanic, stopped eating Chinese
food until two years ago because of
the things he witnessed in Vietnam.
"He just doesn't talk about it,''
said Roper. "I always think it
could have been him on my wrist."
Bishop, an Army Staff Sargent
from Hartford, Conn., was listed
as Missing In Action two years
before Roper was even born.
The bracelet, to be worn until the
subject is found or if information
is discovered about their death is
obtained, only leaves Roper's wrist
for a shower.
"It isn't much, but it means
something to me and to his fami-
ly,'' said Roper.
• On a high school band trip her
junior year, Roper made a trip to
the wall.
"The black monument .over-
whelms you," said Roper. "You
see family members and friends
sometimes talking to the wall as if
the person was behind the name,
caressing the name as if it was the
person."
"It's so quiet and personal. It's
amazing that so many people can
have so much respect," Roper
said."lt made wearing this bracelet
so much more significant."
Roper used the computers at the
site to pin-point Bishop's name.
She took an etching of his name
from the wall.
"People ask rrie if he is a
boyfriend, relative, friend, or from
my town, or ask me if I can get
them a bracelet,'' Roper said.
"It's good that they ask, because
it creates awareness. It makes them
curious and it makes them think
about the war," said Roper.
At
Let's Dance her freshman
year, Roper was pulled aside by the
bouncer to talk about his bracelet.
"He was surprised to see so-
meone my age wearing one,'' said
Roper. "It's only the memory that
counts."

' Life changes you
Perhaps all college students go through
changes in their political development.-They
become less idealistic about politics and more
realistic as they grow intellectually and emo-
tionally with age.
. Suddenly the reality of finding a job has
. occupied the minds of today's youth. This
has left political issues to simmer on-the back
burners of the "knowledge stoves" in our
minds.
•
.
This may not necessarily be a bad thing.
Those issues, those potent political agendas
we on_ce
thought we should and could fulfill
and affect become less important. Raising
families, paying taxes, buying homes· and
making car payments become daily realities
that require our immediate and more pas-
sionate attention.
As we age, we become more confident in
the beliefs we hold to be true. We rely less
on others to validate and approve of those
beliefs and tell us they are correct. Age has
a way of tempering idealistic young minds.
Those late night rap sessions about politics
may continue and your passion for beliefs
never totally leaves you but it seems for now
the idealism of today's youth can take a

Tax, tax, tax - I have heard enough about
taxes.
What the hell is the government doing with
the money they raise now? How about a new
word from the democrats, how about ''cut."
Keep
cutting the reform package or cut ex-
cesses internal government spending until
health care is more affordable to the poor
and middle class without broad expansive
new taxes that punish those classes in socie-
ty who already bare the majority of the tax
burden.

what has compelled me to write this

The other day', I picked up a
copy of The Circle (April 8, 1993),
there was that article on page 6, titl-
ed "Some faculty: diversity can
reduce intolerance". After reading
the article, I thought, "Where has

It is like hearing someone
saying to me that my past four
years here was a deja vu. I had
always thought of Fr~ Luke as an

Another thing I°read

has developed. • •
I have been attacked for my tales

as• nq surprise.
The.thing that shocked me was
that• right· above her long-winded·

of the political columnist, whose
phone lines have been under siege.
Also there was an open challenge
to the music columnist by someone
who was "shocked, surprised, and
angered" over an article that he
had written.
A
week ·later, a letter from the

ample of a mock-athlete (and there

the name "Sloof Lirpa" (April

what funny is.
I have to admit, those guys down
at the Journal know how to

River Festival set for tomorrow
Editor:
As a result of hours of planning
between senior·class representatives
. and college administrators, we pro-
udly announce the 6th Annual
River Festival on Fri. April 23,
1993,
•
from 1-5 p.m. at the
Gartland Commons basketball
courts.
• The festival will include basket-
ball, Awesome Audio DJ for dan~
cing and a barb~cue at which both
non-alcoholic
and alcoholic
beverages will be served.
The students and staff who have
made the arrangements for this day
want it to be a safe and responsi-
ble senior event. Given the spirit of
the occasion, we • ask all par-
ticipants to ·observe the "Good
Neighbor" policy and not be noisy
or disruptive to those living near
them.
The event is open only to current
Marist students 21 ·and older, as
well as faculty and staff (no others
will be admitted.) All faculty and
staff are welcome and are urged to
attend since this is one of the last
opportunities to meet seniors at a
social event.
For more details and ticket infor-
mation, please feel free to contact

ext. 3279 or the Office of Student
Affairs at-ext. 3515.

Don't miss your last chance!
April 29 is The Circle's final issue of the year.
The deadline for letters to the editor is Monday,
April 26 at 10 a.m. Don't miss your last chance
to get in the last word.
for next year
April
18-25, is
Nat(onal
Volunteer Week, a week set aside
to honor the millions of Americans
who volunteer their time where and
when it is needed ..
Americans have a long and pro~
ud tradition of volunteering. From
colonial times, Americans have
worked shoulder-to-shoulder,
building roads, schools and each
other's homes.
.
Today, .volunteerism is still alive
and well across the land. Some re-
cent surveys indicate that at times,
half our 'American adult popula-
tion
does
some
kind
of
volunteering.
Marist College shares in this pro-
ud tradition. -
In past years, we have generously
responded to many appeals. Some
times it is money, other times it is
blood, and still other times, it ·is
gifts. Everyone can recall the
• generous contributions for the
Marist Christmas Giving Tree.
Once again, a call comes for
help. It is a special request, not for
money, but for time -
time to be
spent helping non-profit organiza-
tions in our area.
The economic problems of the
present time are impacting the
agencies. They have experienced
enormous budgetary cuts that_ re-
quire more volunteer hours if they
are to succeed in their various
missions.
More than 200 agencies in the
Hudson Valley need help.
Please look over the list of things
that need to be done and the places
that need such help, and see
if
you
can lend a hand, give some time,
and make a difference.
Your contributions of time will
help the agency, bring credit to the
c:_ollege
and enrich your life.
You know your schedule for
next Fall. Make some time to
volunteer. Sign up now and visit
the agency so you can get familiar
with how you will be able to help.
Your time will really make a
difference.
Agencies such as the Astor
Home for Children, the Bardavon
Opera House, the Dutchess Coun-
ty ~rts Council, Dutchess County
Tourism, and the Voluntary Action
Center, which needs clerical and
administrative help, are among
many in the area looking for help.
On Sunday, April 25, a special
television program will be aired at
6 p.m. on WTZA; dedicated to
volunteerism in the Hudson Valley.
You could get an idea of what you
might be able to do from this
program.
Here are a few of the needs in the
community:
-
Arts and Culture: fund-
raising, public relations, visitor in-
formation, tours.
- Education: literacy programs,
teachers' aides, translators, com-
puter assistance, libraries.
-
Friendship and Guidance: Big
Brothers/Big Sisters, Scouting,
mentor programs.
-
Office support: mass mail-
ings, telephone work, data entry,
filing, typing, planning.
-
Social Services: community
centers, day-care centers, Meals on
Wheels, emergency help.
There are two places where you
can explore the possibility of
volunteering:

Chess Club news
Editor:
. The Marist College Chess Club
swept a triangular intercollegiate
chess match on Sat. April 17, 1993.
The Vassar College Chess Club
finished in second place, followed
by Kings College at Briarcliff
Manor.
Each team consists of five
players. Marist defeated Vassar in
the opening round by a score of
. 3-2. John Pacut, Paul Fedor, arid
Mike Tjoa scored wins for Marist.
Vassar then defeated Kings Col-
lege in the second round by a score
of 5-0. Marist also defeated Kings
College. Marist winners over Kings
College were Pacut, Fedor, and
Tjoa. Mike Murray and Ron
Gagne both earned draws.
This intercollegiate event ended
the Marist Chess Club's 1992-93
season on a positive note. Last Fall,
Marist defeated West Point but lost
to Vassar.
We look forward to a strong
season in 1993-94.

New Townhouses
Editor:
The largest construction project
in the history of MaristCollege has
begun this Spring with the building
of the new townhouses.
Eighteen two-story townhouses
will occupy seven buildings, which
will be located on the land behind
Benoit House and to the right of
Gregory House.
The final result will be more on-
campus housing for 144 students.
Each townhouse will contain
four bedrooms, two full baths, and
a large dining and living room area.
In addition, the kitchen will con-
tain ample counter and cabinet
space, along with a conventional
and microwave oven.
• A central heating system will
feature individual heating control
units for each room. There will also
be a one-zone
central
air-
conditioning system.
Instead of washers and dryers in
the kitchen area, laundry facilities
will be constructed in a central
location.
The exterior facade will echo the
colors of the Dyson and Lowell
Thomas Centers. The materials will
feature red, brick bases with wood
siding on top and gray metal roofs.
The project is scheduled to be
completed by September, 1993, in
time for returning students to move
in for the Fall semester.
This 36,000 square-foot project
will cost around $2. 7 million
dollars.

Sprfager, however, exP,ressed

"There's always-some anxiety about what we should change," he said.
"The curricu_lum
should reflect not only student interest, but what the
students should have."
Up to this point, st'udents had no formal role in the planning process,
•
Springer maintains.

•
"Students are a prime concern," he said, although questioning the
importance of the_ir
role at this point. ''I'm not stire if we are far enough
along in the process to have st1,1dent
input," jr1dicating that a an ap-
propriate time may arise'wheri
a
firial draft has been offered.
•
Although King did not disclose any specific plans for student involve-
ment at this time, she did indicate that student input may be considered
in the future.
And as specifics for the new curriculum are yet undecided, some ad
0 '._
ministrators are· stressing that the changes would be more generalized'.
"I
personally would like to see the opportunity for more generalized
study," said Springer.
I
think an introduction to communications course·
would be beneficial for all students,-whether they are specialized or not."
King, however, focused more on the importance of the changes
themselves, rather than delve into specifics.
"You must remember that the field of study is not going to stay the
•
same. We need a curriculum that is up-to-date, in tune and on the cut-
ting edge," King said .

The Marist tradition is consideration for and commitment

Heavy rain did not stop Martin Feeney-from making the record books.
Thejunior ran the second fastest 10,000-meter run time in Marist track
and field history despite adverse weather condition.s.
:
l:fis mark
(9
minutes 48.2 seconds) was also his personal best time.
'"He
has.been a middle distance runner all season and for him to run
this well ih the 10,000 is great," Head Coach Pete Colaizzo said .
Feeney led the team to a ninth place· finish at the two-day University
of Albany' Invitational.

Junior Brian Ordway continues to excel in the 3,000-meter steeplechase.
The steeplechase is a 3,000-meter race full of stationary barriers. One
of these barriers has a water pit immediately behind it which the runners
contend with.

·The
runners must run the course seven times.
Although Ordway did beat his personal best time, he did finish se-
cond in a field of 16 runners.

"He would have been pressed to run his best time," Colaizzo said.

I better siai1 weight-lifting again,
if
I want to be· a· member of the
New York City press.
..
Bonilla's verbal attack stemmed
from Klapisch's and John Harper,
a reporterfor the New York Post,
''The Worst Team Money Could·
Buy.''
•
Although I have not read the
book
.
yet, Klapisch has said the
book isjust
an
account on how the
Mets went from New York's darl-
ings in 1986 to New York's bums
after last year's dismal season.
Sure there are some personal ac-
counts' from players during the time
period, but neither reporter men-
tioned any. intimate details about
the players lives.
According to Klapisch, he could
have
•
written the players extra
marital affairs, but he didn't
because
that was not what the book
was
about.
Bobby "Bo" had not read the
book when he started threatening
Klapisch.
So wh/thci· tirade?
•
It may have been because Bonilla
thought he
.was
•
defending
•
the
team's unity, or he could just be
tired of the press and just blew up.
Bonilla,

you.
Spring blues •

Spring is well under way and so
is another depressing spring sports
season.

At least one team is over .500.
-
I take that· back: Sorry.
I think my predictions are under
.500; too. Something is in the air.
The volleyball club has been the
lone bright spot, finishing its year
at 10-10.
The only two other teams that
are having any bit of success are the
tennis (4-5) and softball (14-16)
teams. They have been hitting the
skids lately.

Talkin' it
Clutch plays anyone?
The baseball team's 7-6 loss to
first place Fairleigh Dickinson on
Monday·clearly showed why both
teams are headed in different
directions.
The Red Foxes did not manage
to come up with the clutch play
during the entire game - FDU did.
Marist showed some guts in
rallying· from a 7-3 deficit in the
ninth, to cut it to 7-6, but once
again, the squad could not produce
the clutch hit to complete what
could have been a season turning
comeback. FDU, on the other
hand, kept its
composure
and held
on for
the win.
