Neil Jordan, writer and director

a cab driver and a prostitute. Here,
it involves the two soldiers, and
later, Whitaker's girlfriend and
Rea.

system changes
by
DAWN MARTIN
Staff Writer
With next semester's housing forms on the way,
·there
may be a.change
in the priority point system which would focus more points towards grade
point average, according to Jim Raimo; director of housing and residential
life.
Raimo· said ·the· decision has not been finalized.
·
The Student Affairs staff said they decided the grade
:point
average
should be more important in deciding how many priority points a stu-
dent should get.·
.
·
.
There would no longer be priority points given out because of class
year, the staff added.
The new system would mean students could get eight priority points
for getting above a 3.5, according to the Student Affairs staff.
Presently, a 3.8 is the standard.

BSU Pleased with February sponsored events
by
PATRICIA FARRELL
Staff
Writer
While some members of the Black Student
Union said there is a general lack of support
from the adminstration during most of the
year, they did say overall they were pleased
with
·activities
during February, Black
History Month.
"I think they did a good job this month
in particular with guest speakers, comedians
and African American events, but there has.
been a lot of red tape as with any club here
during the year," Sophia Thomas, vice presi-
dent for the BSU said.
·Thomas,
a junior from Brooklyn, said
there have been problems working with the
administration, in particular with funding.
She said although the administration has not
always been fully supportive, the Activities
Office· has worked with them to schedule
guest speakers and they have even received
support from Student Government.
Sheila Meyers, secretary for the BSU,
agreed that there has noi been a lot of
cooperation from the administration which
she said is due to a lack of communication.
"I
hope we
can
get more cooperation from
•
the head office and a more open mind from
the administration," Meyers, a sophomore
from the Bronx said.
•
Meyers said she does not see as much sup-
port from the administration at Marist in
regard to Black History M~~th co_mpared
to
the involvement the adffilmstrat1on at her
high school from home has.
"I don't see as much involvement here as
compared to high schoo~," Meyers s~d.
"Maybe it's because of mixed commumca-
•
tion between us and the administration. In.
high school, it (Black History Month) was
like Christmas to us."
Throughout the month there has been
guest speakers, a dance sponsored by the
BSU, vendors in the Champagnat l?reeze~ay,
and round-table discussions on black topics.
Theresa Hardaway, public relations
chairperson for the BSU, said she wished
more people had attended the activities dur-
ing the month. She added that with the new
officers this year, she believes that the BSU
is improving.
"This year especially, everyone has done
a great job. Everyone has really been getting
their job done and I think the BSU is get-
ting even better now," Hardaway, a junior
from the Bronx said.
She said that personally she has not had
any problems with the administration this
year, but she remembers how there seemed
to be a "lack of trust" from the administra-
tion at one of the on-campus events they had.
She said if the administration just supported
them a little more, there wouldn't be any
problems.
Many said that the BSU has proved to be
a rewarding experience for them and has
given them a sense of leadership and a
closeness with many other black students on
campus.
"The BSU has definitely lived up to my
expectations," Meyers said who heard about
the club even before she came to Marist.
"I
was
invited
up for the Cultural Dinner Dance
when I· was in high school. It was a good
• chance for me to meet a lot of people and
not only get a feel for Marist but
a
chance
to get involved in the Black Student Union."
The annual Cultural Dinner Dance, which
is scheduled for April, is the biggest event
of the year for the BSU.
Thomas said not only has she seen an im-
provement with the BSU on campus but with
other organizations.
"We have a lot more people of color on
our campus this year," Thomas said. "I
think the BSU is not only getting better, but
the Hispanic club." Thomas added that
many people never knew there was a
Hispanic club and more people are now
becoming aware and involved.
"This year our main goal is to try to get
more
people
in
the
community,
neighborhoods and other colleges involved
and to talk about their issues and concerns,"
Thomas said.

Republican.
Clinton's plan, due to hit the streets in ear-

would have the federal government taking
in $246 billion in new taxes over the next four
years while spending $247 billion less than
outlined in past budget proposals.

economic plan, administrators at Marist say.
CONDOMS---------------------------------

terests of the children.
"I don't think that God or the
church or anybody is saying don't
do this because I'm nasty and I
don't want you to do it," Sister
Hamilton said. "It's because truly
it is not good and not good for us."
"Look around how many peo-
ple's lives have been ruined because
somebody decided it would be
more enjoyable to sleep with
somebody they're not married to,"
she added.
•
Sister Hamilton said people have
a tendency to run around and say
Cardinal O'Conner says that lean
or he says that I can't, and that's
'dumping'.
"I should not be dumping it off
on other people," she said. <'I've
got to eye}?all
with myself and with
my God and deal with the question
honestly myself."
David. Rule,. assistant professor
of educational psychology, said it
is not just a moral issue anymore.
"From the.Christian perspective,
·we would say that all we are doing
is validating what Christ and the
scriptures have told us," he said.
Rule said placing the morality
issue aside, one could make the
same argument about condoms on
a purely secular level.
"From a researcher's perspec-
tive, the documentation is fairly
clear that, in general, the proper
use of condoms is not high," Rule
said.
He said when pas~ions are run-
ning high, • there is very little

evidence to suggest that condoms
do very well in stopping venereal
diseases. •
For this reason, Rule said that
most sex education courses pro-
mote abstinence as the only effec-
tive means of protecting one's self
from sexually transmitted diseases.
He said people are realizing now
that there is no safe sex unless· the
two individuals have been virginal
in their
rel~tionships
until
marriage~.
. . . . ..
"The institution here, because. of
its heritage, needs to say thatif
you're having sex, then we can not
condone that or stop you, but do
not expectus to allow it by pro-
viding you with the means, sup~
posedly, to have safe sex," Rule
said.
•
John Canorro; secretary for the
campus ministry and a religious
studies minor, said Marist keeps its
Catholic tradition and would. like
to maintain that image.
According to Canorro, Marist is

"We try to keep this image, and
by allowing condoms on campus,
it really starts to destroy that im-
age;" Canorro said. . . . ..
Canorro, ajunior, said condoms
should
.
be ,treated no differently
than items such as cigarettes and
alcohol.
.
.
"None of those things are sold
on campus, but if you reaUywant
it; you can 'go out and get it," he
said. "_Condoms

pearls that ypu.have to go out and
hunt for."
Dina Pace is a· Catholic who is
involved in the campus ministry but
takes a different view that allow-
ing condoms on campus would be
the lesser of two evils.
"Being
a
Catholic: I can't sit
back and say 'screw you'.if you're
doing it, because by me having sex,
that wouid be a sin in the Catholic
church," she said. "_Butif I were
to allow a friend to have sex and
to let it go by without my saying
something, that is also a sin
because I didn't say something."
Pace said it is far better to hand
people condoms than to just sit id-
ly by and watch them possibly con-
tract a fatal disease or have an un-
wanted pregnancy arid have·toface •
abortion.

Rumors
Let's get one thing straight: it's not true ..
Try that once again, all together now: it is not true.
Once again this gossip-mongering campus was fiercely gripped by an alleged
fact.
One person spouts out some heresay and suddenly WHAM! Here we go again.
There's nothing the Marist community loves more than a good rumor.
This one does not circle, pardon the pun, around financial improprities of
a
faculty member or the imminent resignation of an adminstrator.
•
No, this last beauty involves students and a phony poll containing devastating
results.
A popular skin magazine, Plii.yboy, supposedly published an article or a poll
in which Marist was:
• •
•
•
A. The number four most sexually active school in the country.
B.
Twenty percent HIV positive.
C. One of the top 10 schools most infected with STDs.
•
D. Any combination of the above.
..·

neverpubhs.liC'!Q"~ny.~11~h.-

~~pcl~.;
In fact, the magazine has no record ofany such fmdings
m
its ,library ..
The MCTV show "Backtalk" recently aired a paneldiscussion on condoms.
During the debate, this rumor was· used as a fact ..
No one on the panel actually saw this mystery informa~ion firsthand.
•
.
.
The false statistics were told to one or more of the parielistby someone claim-
ing to have read the material..
' • • •
.
. .
.
. .
.
•
Apparently; the panelists nev.er heard the old adage: don't believe everything
you hear.

.
.
.
.
.
. .
So now· a mistake has been made. An untruth has been presented as
,fact.
These things are not easy to
·remedy.
Information like this can seriously
damage a college's reputation.
However, it also brings up another interesting point: Why was this seeming-
•
ly outrageous statistics so readily accepted?
.
·. .
.
.
Could itbe the students have a not-so-glorious yiew of this quiet, safe, little
campus?
.
•
. . .
.
•.
Perhaps some of the panelists believe Marist is an exceptionally sexually ac-
..
tive campus and thought that the
information
was true.
.
.
..
.
..
Perhaps this same. belief is held by many students who,• though. frightened
by the phony poll's findings; found it not so outrageous after all.
•
..
•
A great number of students believed the inaccurate information without
protest.
•
The administration is another story.
.
.
.
. .
According to Gina Be~consaU,' the director and producer of "Backtalk,"
President-Dennis
J.
Murray's secretary contacted the show and requested a copy·
of the program.
•
•
• •
•
.
_
.
••
Frank Irrizary, a "Backtalk" panelist, said that
_the
show prompted ad-
minstrative reaction to problems which exist here at Marist, namely STDs,
That could be true. However, the reaction was not to problems at Marist
•
but to false information being pass~d off as truth.
True, everybody makes mistakes. Tl_ie Circle has had to print corrections in
its past and probably will have to print some into its future ..
•
•
Still, that is no excuse for using unsubstantialed rumors as facts.
There are problems here at Marist, and there are many issues that still need
to be addressed.
The issue of condoms on campus has appeared yet again. Serious, factual
dialogue is vital to resolve this controversy.
•
However, incidents like this do not further this cause. They are
counter-productive.
Why should the powers-that-be seriously listen to students when we can't even
get our facts straight?
.
•
•
.
We are intelligent people. Those of us who work with c,rgariizaitons capabl~.
of reaching the greatest number of students on a regular basis are obligated
to take the responsibility of getting the facts straight.
Of course, we must remember that mistakes are a natural part of the news
business.
Those who made the mistake this time did so
with
good intensions.
Their mistake is
a
serious one, but they were just trying to further inform
the campus and to motivate students to voice their opinions on the condom issue.
People often request that. the media just tell them the pure and simple truth.
However, please keep in mind the words of the great Oscar Wilde: "The pure
and simple truth
is
rarely pure and never simple."

Ms. Le Sage's article in The
Circle (Feb. 4).
. An article so heavily one-sided in
its sources neither does justice to
the complexity of the issue nor ex-
presses the diversity of views on
this campus.
We strongly condemn the
homophobic attitudes expressed
throughout the article. Probably
the most important result of the
piece is that it makes overt the
covert homophobia on this cam-
pus, in turn, challenging the Marist
community to confront its own
attitudes.
To that end, we invite members
of the Marist community to start
a process of dialogue that will lead
to a more open, tolerant, and car-
ing community. We think that it is
time to begin to heal the wounds
that such prejudice creates on this
campus.

Thank you for a sensitive and

The annual
Silver Needle
·Fashion Show and Awards has
always been one of the highlights
of the year, and this year people iti-
volved in the show said it promises
to be different and much more •
creative than in the past.
Part of the reason for the change
may be the new Director of the
Fashion Department -
Moya
Donnellan.
"This year's show will be more
open to• the public," Donnellan
said. "We want everyone to go,
especially faculty and students out~
side the fashion department."
•
• There will be approximately 250
seats available at tables that will
surround the runway. Dinner will
Usually the audience is full of peo-
ple from the fashion industry who
do not have to pay, she added.
One of.the highlights and major
differences from last year's show
will
bethe video that senior fashion
majors have put together.
«The video has been our project
for most of the year," said senior
Stephanie Riley of Monroe, Conn.
"Last year, Mr. Porcelli diq most
of it, but this year we designed it
all ourselves."
Riley is referring to Carmine
Porcelli, the former director, who
left Marist abruptly before the fall
semester. . - ' •

"The videos of previous years
have been like summaries of a year
in the fashion department, almost
like a how-to guide," Donnellan
said. "But tllis on_e

be served as the show is in progress.
The tentative price for these seats • •
will be $75 each.
"There will also be around 250
to 300 seats available to the public, •
with no dinner," Donnellan said.
"Those seats will be $15 each."
"We want to make this year's
show more self-financing than last
year's," she said. "We're raising a
lot of funds on our own.''
One of the reasons faculty and
students outside the fashion depart-
ment are encouraged to attend is to .
raise money, Donnellan said .

creatively show the students as they
work on their projects. There will
be an upbeat twist about it."
The video _ will be shown
throughout_ the show on a large
screen above the runway.
"I really can't describe it," Riley
said of the video.
"It
looks
like it
should be on
MTV."
Donnellan is also excited about
the
•
number of talented students
that will take part in the show.
"The sophomores will open the
show, and then the juniors will
show their collections," she said.
"There is so much talent to be ex-
cited about."
•
Sophomores wiir show one gar-
ment each, while juniors show a
collection, which is four to six
pieces, The collecti9ns are related
.to a certain.theme,'Donellan said.
Phil Rizzuto Says:
As the students have been
creating their garments, each has
been assisted by such fashion critics
as Byron Lars, Zang Toi and Chris-
tian Francis Roth, Donellan said.**
With all of the time, effort and
money the student designers have
put into the show, many are
hopeful it will be a success.
''I just got back from a ten hour
8:15 class," said sophomore Kristin
Wallace. "I'm on my way back to
the fashion department now."
The fashion students have had to
work extra hard to make the show
great because they have not receiv-
ed much financial support.
"Mr. Porcelli used to get con-
tributions from Perry Ellis to
help fund the show," Riley said.
"Since he left, a lot of the fund
raising is up to us. So since we have

"Since he (Porcelli) has been
gone, we've been allowed to be
more creative with our work," said
sophomore Kimberli MacKay.
"Ms. Donnellan is very different
from him, so I think the show will
be different this year."
The 1993 Silver Needle Fashion
Show and Awards will be held on
Thursday, April 29, at the State
Armory in Poughkeepsie. It will
begin at 7:30 p.m.
"I have one garment that will be
seen in the show," MacKay said.
"I have put so much time and
money into it. But it will definitely
be worth it after the show."
"Even if you aren't interested in
fashion design," Riley said, "this
is the kind of thing everyone should
experience at least once."

The Marist College Foreign Film
Program for Spring 1993 is well
underway, bringing another aspect
• of foreign culture to the Marist
campus.
Sponsored by the office of the
vice-president for academic affairs
and the department of modern
languages, and organized .bY Bro.
Joe Belanger, the program saw a
less than perfect student turnout,
according to Belanger ..
Belanger attributes the low tur~
nout to the lack of a "world view"
on the part of Marist students.
"Marist .doesn't offer global
awareness courses," said Belanger,
"and students are going to suffer
when they go look for a job. I pity
them."
On filmmaking, Belanger en-
couraged more funding for the
arts. "The small person needs to
get a voice. The best film schools
are in England, France, Germany
and Japan. The United States is not
well known for film education; no
one gets to the values behincl the

release,'' Perreria said.
"We also had a public service
announcement on a local radio sta-
tion, but we have no idea who finds
out until the clinic begins."
"Although last year, channel six
came," she said. We need this kind
of local press, especially to show
thatthe basketball players care.".
At about 2:30 pm the kids mov-
ed to the bleachers where they wat-
ched a video of the NBA, and talk-
ed with the players.
This was a time for not only rest,
but a time for questions and
answers.
•
The players seemed to be enjoy-
ing themselves as well.
Andy Lake, a senior. for the
mens basketball·team was having
a great time.
•
"It has been a great turnout, and
it is good to seem them(kids) hav-
ing so much fun," he said.
"It
is really great to do
something for the kids and, actual-
ly, I think I'm having more fun
than the kids."

David Strong, a sophomore
team member, also enjoys this
clinic.
"It is_
for a good cause, for the
money we get goes to charity," he
said.

skid defeat
Albany St.
by
ANDREW HOLMLUND •
Staff Writer •
Since the Marist hockey team
lost its 10-game unbeaten streak
last Saturday against Hofstra
University, problems have arisen.
Sophomore goaltender Brad
Kamp said he and his teammates
have had trouble.working together
as one unit.
"I
don't know what it is," Kamp
said. "But.we are just not gelling
as a teain right n_ow." _
The Red Foxes, who are current-
ly 8-3-5, were able to snap a four-
game slide on Monday night by
defeating Albany State College
College, 8-2, at the Albany Coun-
ty Arena.
After a lackluster opening and
second period, the Red Foxes were
able to pick up momentum by not-
ching five goals in the third period.
On Sunday night, Marist was
playing its third of four consecutive
games at the South Mountain
Arena in New Jersey.
The Red Foxes and Rutgers
University skated to a 2-2 tie. The
game was called at the end of two
periods because of the inclement
weather.
"This game was difficult for us
because we showed up an hour and
fifteen minutes late," Kamp said.
"When we got there, we had to get
out on the ice, get a puck and warm
up the goalies."
On Saturday, the Foxes were
looking to atone last Saturday's
lost to Hofstra at the Mid-Hudson
Civic Center.
Things
did
not
tum
out
as l)lann-
ed for Mat:ist as it tied the Flying
Dutchmen, 6-6.
Senior right wing Kent Rinehart
said the team has just not been able
to respond, and this game was not
any exception.
"We should have won the
game," Rinehart said. "Our team,
right now, is
in
a big slump." On
Friday afternoon, Marist returned
to home ice for the first time in
over two months against Southern
Connecticut University.
SCU defeated Marist, 7-5.
Marist will be in Farmingdale on
Saturday night.
Rinehart said it is necessary for
the team to get back to the basics.
Marist was in action last night
against SCU. Results were not
available at press time.
