review clubs
The Council of Student Leaders
(CSL) this week is establishing a
Chartering Committee in response
to an increasing number of groups
requesting club status, according to
student government.
The CSL invoked a moratorium
- a temporary cease of chartering
new clubs - on Feb. 7 to form the
new committee and evaluate the
status of all student organizations.
According to Kevin Desmond, stu-
dent
body
president,
the
moratorium will last at least until
Feb. 28.
In addition, CSL will evaluate
the status of existing clubs a.nd
organizations, in an attempt to
weed out very low or non-
functioning clubs. Such clubs could
face sanctions or loss of their
charters, according to student
government.
Desmond
said
students have been relying too
heavily on funding from the Finan-
cial Board and not on their own
fundraising capabilities.
The number of chartered clubs
has almost doubled over the last 18
months, Desmond said.

This semester clubs are finding
tough competition for funding,
despite the allocation of an addi-
tional $9,000 two weeks ago by stu-
dent government. The competition
comes, in part, from the increase
in clubs during the last three
semesters.

Students, staff: African American,
not black,
is
a statement of heritage
By
HELEN ARROYO
Staff Writer
While a recent survey. shows more people nation-
wide prefer the term 'black,' Marist students and staff
say they prefer 'African American' because it better
symbolizes their heritage.
. The national survey of 860 African Americans
found 72 percent preferred the term 'black.' That
figure has caused much discussion throughout the
Marist community.
Conducted by the Joint Center for Political and
Economic Studies in Washington D.C., the survey also
found that only 15 percent favored the term
African-American.
Both staff and students were disappointed with the
results of that survey and they question its accuracy.
Desmond Murray, assistant director of field ex-
perience, said he tends to doubt surveys. "I don't
know what states they targeted, or what communities
they targeted," said Murray.
Despite the results of the survey, many people prefer
the term African-American as a statement of their
uncertain heritage.
Debra Waller, a junior from Brooklyn, said she
thinks
people
would
rather
be
called
African-American.
"From the people I've talked to, they would rather
be called African-American; it makes them feel a
sense
of pride, a sense of their heritage,'' said Waller.
Tara Parker, a senior from Dover Plains, N.Y., also
said the term African-American is better than black.
"There is no continent or country called 'Black',"
said Parker. "We need to understand that calling peo-
ple black Americans defines not where you come from,
but what you look like."
Others said the usage of the term black lends a
negative connotation.
.
Lateef Islam, transition supervisor of the prison pro•
gram, said he never had a problem with the term black
until he started learning about the culture and history
of the Africans.
"I noticed that the more I learned about my culture,
about the contributions that Africans have made to
all cultures of the world, the more important it became
for me in the end to be known or to identify with
Africa," he said.
Murray also said he sees a negativity in the term
black.
"Black is a color; it relates to nothing," he said.
But Murray said he sees a growing trend throughout
the college community towards the usage of
African-American.
"There is a small evolution corning, where people
are accepting the term," he said.
Cobham said she thinks many try very hard to use
African-American.
"When people ask me what I prefer I ask them,
'What do you think you should call me?','' added
Cobham.
Education is the key in peoples' acceptance of the
term African- American, according to Murray.
Murray said the adoption of an African studies
minor at Marist would help those who are uninform-
ed to educate themselves on ~he rich history of Africa.
"It's going to take African-American faculty and
staff to
be
more committed and assist in a cultural,
educational evolution here," he said.
But Murray also said students must also play a vital
role in the process.
"I think many of the African-American and Latino-
American students here are very apathetic and are not
aware of the world around them."
Debate and dialogue
The Gulf War
in the classroom
by
ERIC SYLER
Staff Writer
One month into the Persian Gulf war, the quantity of news coverage
from television, radio and newspapers may have subsided - but the topic
is still debated in classrooms across America.
When the war erupted, many instructors were developing their class
syllabi. But many are now being re-written on a daily basis as further
details are reported, an indication that many professors recognize the
changes current events are having on world history.
Such changes are evident in Marist's curriculum, especially in the
history and political science classes that deal with the Middle East.
Professors like Richard Atkins spend time with each class discussing
the war. Atkins, also chairperson of the Division of Humanities, said
his class looks at the war in a historical context, trying to focus on the
deeper causes of war in the Middle East.
In his classroom, Atkins lets the war raise the questions. He said he
keeps students abreast of new developments and relates those events to
the past.
Vincent Toscano, associate professor of history, talks about the war
but refuses to let it interrupt his curriculum. Instead he lets the discus-
sion come when it reaches the proper time in his courses.
He said when the war was brought up in class, the "students were
somewhat skittish talking about it."
Assistant professor Joanne Myers uses the New York Times to sup-
,. plement her class and said she is very concerned with the morality of war.
She discusses the concept of what she calls "dum-dum" wars, in which
fake bullets are used in place of real ones. Once a soldier was hit, he
would lay down and be considered dead with only a slight welt to show
for it.
"This was tried in the Phillipean wars," she said. "But when the Navy
shot at the enemy they just kept coming. Such a humane solution will
only work if all parties agree to its use - not just the Western cultures."
Myers continued to discuss another immoral act - Saddam's use of
chemical weapons. Such weapons were outlawed decades ago, but coun-
tries such as Iraq recently have used chemical weapons. As a result, these
weapons still.remain a threat to the soldiers fighting in the Persian Gulf.
Professor Vernon Vavrina echoed those sentiments but also added the
U.S. may also be at fault.
Vavrina said "while Saddam is acting illegally towards the rules-of-
war with his execution squads and the torture of Allied prisoners of war,
the U.S. is continuing it's bombing runs, making the landscape of Iraq
look like the face of the moon."
He also mentioned the Comparative Politics of Western Europe class
participating in an international program to simulate running a govern-
ment will have to look at the war in a different light - from the point
of view of the government of Belgium (the classes assigned country).
While he said he felt the war will end in our favor, he's hopeful his
students will learn from the experience and gain a better sense of inter-
national politics.
Computer flu: Getting rid
of the electronic virus
by
AMY ANSON
Staff Writer
While typing a ten-page paper on
a word processor in the Computer
Center one day, the words sudden-
ly crumble away and are replaced
by a ball, bouncing across the
screen.
This is no hallucination.
This is no game.
It's the ping-pong virus, a com-
puter ailment that infected the
Marist campus last semester.
According to Charley Murphy,
an information center analyst at the
Computer Center, a virus is a pro-
gram written by a person to cause
minor annoyances and/or serious
damage, such as wiping out all the
files saved on a disk.
"A vjrus,'' Murphy explained,
"attaches itself to the computer
and causes damage by deleting or
corrupting files."
A virus can be compared to a
weed -
it's something you don't
want, Murphy said. No computer
is immune from a virus, as a virus
can be targeted for any computer.
Murphy added that personal
computers, like the the word pro-
cessors in the Lowell Thomas Com-
munications Center computer lab
and the Donnelly Hall Computer
Center are vulnerable to viruses.
"The more exchange of data, the
more likely the computer is to catch
the virus,'' he said.
The stoned virus also infected
Marist computers last semester.
According to Murphy, a message
reading "Your computer is ston-
ed" would appear on the screen,
and wipe out eve()1hing on the
computer's drive.
Murphy says despite the threats
of Ping-Pong and Stoned Viruses,

4, 1965, the day the Pope came to
visit.
Director James Steinmeyer said
the characters "are involved in a
struggle to escape their routine lives
so they can achieve fame, and it
looks at their inablilty to do so."
The play will also show on Fri-
day and Saturday at 8 p.m. and
Sunday at
2
p.m. Ticket prices for
students are
$2;
for faculty/senior
citizens $3, and general admission

"Sara Taney has probably the
most demanding role in the play as
the female lead and she has shown
tremendous growth in the past
year," he said. "Also, Maria
Licari, who I have directed when
she was still in high school, has a
great amount of technical .skill
which she shows in the play."
Steinmeyer said those with minor
roles in the play also have a lot of
dedication.
"l really admire Rich Hack for
taking a smaller part and making
the most of it." he said.
"Chuck
Lavender and Steven Fosse are
really considered walk-ons, but
they have been here for every
rehearsal so far."
Steinmeyer said Gerard Gretz-
inger and Rachael Luba are two
promising freshmen, and he said he
expects a lot from them.
Sheila Mcloughlin, Vicki Pratt,
and Michelle Pound, who play
three nuns are "the future of the
MCCT A,"
according
to
Steinmeyer. "The three of them
have managed to reach irreverent
comedy," he said.

Anthony Hopkins plays Dr.
Lecter, and he does so expertly.
Lecter is a brilliantly evil man who
is always in control. He knows

very well done. The tension builds
until he walks from the shadows of

Starling. It is her first role since
winning an Oscar for "The Accus-

who is unsure of herself, but
doesn't want to show it. When she

plays Foster's mentor at the F.B.I.

Chilton,
the
egomaniac who is the director of
the facility that holds Lecter. Heald
is good but tends to overact his

Although violent and gruesome

From dropout to scholar
adult student -finds niche
by
RICHARD NASS
Staff writer
L>n
a June day in 1976, Jim Brady watched carefully
as his 191 classmates in the senior class of Poughkeep-
sie's Spackenkill High School walked up and receiv-
ed their diplomas.
For Brady it was a time to reflect on the good friends
and good times he had known during his high school
days, especially in his senior year.
But as the ceremony came to close, while others •
celebrated with their friends and family, Brady turn-
ed his car's ignition and drove away. One of four
students who failed to graduate that year, Brady had
watched what was to have been his graduation from
the parking lot.
Today, 15 years later, Brady is back on the inside
of the classroom, this time as a 32-year-old sophomore
at Marist. The man who describes himself as having
been "Spackenkill's Ferris Bueller" now is the picture
of a devoted student - one, in fact, with a personal
three-room library of tapes and books.
"I planned all of the school events and was involv-
ed, but I just hated going to class," said Brady of his
high school days and the comparisons to Ferris
Bueller, the movie character famous for his dislike for.
school.
Brady's educational trek from Spackenkill to Marist
was not without its turns and false starts. Despite not
having a high school diploma, he went to Dutchess
County Community College in Poughkeepsie for one
semester in the fall of 1976 but didn't like it.
He then became a salesman· for a photocopy
machine company. Success came quickly. By the end
of 1977 he was making $35,000 annually and had an
expense account and a company car.
But when the economy began to bottom out in late
1978 and early 1979, Brady was squeezed out of the
job by the owner's son.
For the next three years, he was a transient
salesman. It was then he was persuaded to enroll in
a public speaking class through the Dale Carnegie In-
stitute - a move, he said, that would change his life
entirely.
"I was a person who would usually coast through
class but that teacher pushed me hard. I gave 110 per-
cent in that course, received highest honors and was
elected class president," said Brady, who overcame
a speech impediment and Hsp during the 15-week
course.
After graduating, he was hired as a graduate assis-
tant and remained on staff at the institute until 1986,
when he went to work for a friend, Jim O'Leary, who
had recently opened Corporate Consult International,
a local firm that gives motivational speeches to groups.
During his first year at CCI; Brady gave more than
300 speeches to clients'--companies.-His -largest--au-
dience
was
the more"than 5,000 people who packed
a Norfolk, Va., coliseum to listen to his motivational
speech.
In 1986 Brady also ·became involved with one of the
more than 20 speaking clubs in Dutchess County and
entered the "World Championship of Public Speak-
ing." Brady finished second in the nation, losing by
only 1 point.
With these credits under his belt Brady thought it
time to give school another chance. In 1987, he took
the General Equivalency Diploma exam, giving him
the equivalent of the high school diploma he never
received.
.. "I just"walked into the testing room without even
preparing for the test," said Brady.
Brady returned to Dutchess in 1988 and graduated
in 1990 receiving A's in all but three of his 18 classes.
"My past experience has driven me harder than
anything ever has," said Brady, now
in his first full
semester at Marist.
Brady, an English writing major, expects to leave
college in four to six semesters but only after he
receives a master's degree.
"I
am not so hard pressed for the degree.
I
am hard .
pressed for the knowledge," said Brady, who plans
to offer a IO-week speaking course on his own next
fall.
Brady says he
wants
to expose
the public to infor-
mation he accumulates from
his tape and bound
library, the value of which he puts at
more than
$70,000. He is writing books about marketing and
about creating a public speaking career.
••I
believe that anything is available to anybody. As
long as the desire and effort
is present at the start, the
goal will be achieved in the end," said Brady.

their unique in-
sight and experience, Miringoff
said.

VIRUS
... continued from page 1
few outbreaks have occurred
because Marist installed anti-virus
programs in each PC.
Marist uses a program from
McAfee Associates, the "gurus" of
virus protection, according to
Murphy.
The McAfee. program is licens-
ed for use by Marist faculty and
students, who can make copies of
the program to use on their own
computers.
According to Murphy, the anti-
virus program checks different
parts of the computer, like the the
memory or files, to locate a virus.
The PC Support Center runs the
McAfee program to scan for the
virus on an infected disk. The virus
is then identified and cleaned from
the disk. The entire clean-up pro-
cess takes only five minutes.
Murphy said the anti-virus pro-
gram must be continuously up-
dated because a new strain of
viruses is detected every week.
Infected disks can be brought to
the PC Support Center for a
.
clean-up.
Randy Lehman, a student aide
for the Computer Center, said he
has not seen any recent outbreaks
of either of the viruses
The current lack of virus out-
breaks, said Murphy, is because the
PC's at the Computer Center and
in Lowell Thomas were checked
over intersession.
Ironically, Murphy said he
believed the origin of the computer
virus was credited to a computer
programmer who wanted to prove
the vulnerability of computers.
But instead of teaching a lesson,
the virus became a hazard, said
Murphy, who added that world-
wide circulation of viruses began in
China or Turkey.
"People write viruses as a joke,"
said Lehman.
Lehman said he believes people
who write virus programs get
satisfaction knowing they have af-
fected peoples' lives ..
Murphy compared it to a chess
game between computer hackers,
to see who can out-do whom.
Murphy said it was
also
like a cat
and mouse game- some one is in-
spired to create a great virus that
can neither be found nor deleted.
But someone can also start a
virus without even knowing it, add-
ed Lehman.
He said someone could acciden-
tally infect their disk by inserting
it into an infected computer, and
unknowingly spread the virus by re- -
using the disk in other computers.

Still, three of Tuohy's other friends drop-

The recession has dampened Spring Break

but to go home, get a job and earn some
money. And the few who are still planning
a get-away are trying to cut costs.

All this has left travel agencies suffering.
. Linda Clay, a travel agent at Let's Travel

played a big part in keeping students, who
normally make up about 30 percent of the
agency's business at this time of year, at

Alcohol education group
searches for more students
by
BARBARA JOYCE
Staff Writer
The alcohol education group at
Marist
is
seeking
student
participation.
The seven-member group, which
consists of faculty, staff and two
students, is interested in adding five
student members, according to
Deborah DiCaprio, assistant dean
of student affairs.
In addition, the group will be
sending out surveys to students and
faculty early next month to ex-
amine their attitudes about alcohol.
The survey is the first step of the
program; it will help reveal the
knowledge, habits and attitudes of
the Marist community toward
alcohol, she said.
The survey results should also
assist the group in planning alcohol
education programming that's
specifically targeted to Marist,
DiCaprio said.
"The survey is an opportunity
for students to shape the program.
Students can let the administration
know what they want," said Rob
Jubert, a graduate student and
group member.
The program will be more than
just counseling, it will aim for
abuse prevention, said Jubert.
Jubert, who is a recovering
alcoholic and former drug user,
said he hopes the program will help
students define their limits with
alcohol and drugs in another way,
not just through trial and error.
"I've seen some students lose a
lot because of alcohol and drugs,"
Jubert said.
"If
we can help at this
stage we can save years of pain and
maybe a few lives."
Marist is not alone in this effort.
Eleven area-colleges, including
Dut_chess Community College,
Culinary Institute of America and
Vassar College, have similar pro-
grams, said Jubert.
Jubert said he hopes to have ac-
tual programs for students starting
in the Fall of 1991.
Other group members are Bar-
bara Fries, a counselor at Marist
Jim Raimo, director of housing,
Professor Laurence Sullivan and
two students.

The harassing phone calls come
more frequently for Deppe since
the organization she works for took

call, that some do not share.

The purpose of the center,

such as the draft, disarmament and
American military involvement in
foreign wars, Deppe said.
With the onset of the Gulf War,

Piscopo will take center stage

Piscopo will be performing that
Saturday at 8 p.m. in the Theater.
"We're very excited about him
coming here," said Bob Lynch,
coordinator of College Activities.
"I feel that the students will ap-
preciate his humor."
Piscopo was chosen to appear at
Marist after the College Union
Board and the Office of College
Activites researched possible
acts
that would be available and fit in-
to a certain budget.
Piscopo, a member of the Satur.;

cast
from
1980-1984, has worked with big- .
name stars in movies such as the
fit~ "Johnny Dangerously," with
~1chael Keaton and "Wise Guys,"
with Danny DeVito.
The office and CUB also called
other schools for references - all
of which gave Piscopo rave
reviews, said Lynch.
He also made several television
appearances on the Johnny Carson
Show and is one of the spokesper-
sons for Miller-Lite, appearing in
11
television commercials.
In the past, major
events
such as
John Cafferty in 1988,
and
Joan
Jett in 1989, were held in the James
J. McCann Center. However
Lynch said the Theater was chosen
to save money on production costs.
Lynch said the whole
set
up, which
would have to be built if the event
was
held
in
McCann, could cost an
additional $8,000 to $10,000.
Tickets are on sale for
$10
and
can be purchased in the ticket
booth next to the Theater.
"The sales are doing well," said
Lynch, who said he is anticipating
a sold-out show.
In the results of a survey taken
last year which was conducted by
CUB and college activities, the
highest price a student would pay
for a big-name act is
$14.
The price
to see Piscopo is
$4
less than that.
Lynch said this was a reasonable
price because tickets at stadiums
usually run up to about $28.
Lynch also said the winner of the
Battle of the Bands on March 22,
will perform the opening act.
He said this is a great opportuni-
ty for the winning Marist band,
because it is a very prestigious
honor to have opened for a big-
name comedian such as Piscopo.

I cannot believe that an institution for
higher education is so full of ignoramuses as
is Marist College.
I am referring to the select "smokers" who
insist on puffing away in the Donnelly
building even though it is against the law.
First, I must emphasize that I am disap-
proving of the act of smoking and I dislike
the odor it leaves in one's hair and clothes.
I do, however, believe that it is a smoker's
right to do as he or she pleases. That's only
A~erican.
I am, however, against those who choose
to smoke when it is strictly forbidden. Such
is the case in the North Entrance to
Donnelly.
I am asking to put a stop to this dilemma.
It
is up to the college to provide somewhere
for these people to go. A "smoking room"
is necessary to keep everyone happy. Now
is the time to do it with the renovations tak-

It was a touching and sincere effort by Mr.
Schuchardt, a 60-year- old lawyer with a
record of civil and criminal disobedience.
It was also an act symbolic of the disillu-
sionment of the 1990s version of the "peace
movement."
Let's realize something here.
There can be no peace in the Persian Gulf
until Saddam Hussein is either dead or
removed from power. As far as the United
States is concerned, this objective will be
reached regardless of the consequences.
The "peace movement," as it's called is
kidding itself.
'
This isn't a "War for Oil." If it was a war
to deflate the inconvenience of higher prices
at the pump, then we should have sent the
Marines to Exxon Headquarters instead of
Saudi Arabia.
This is a "just war" to remove a threat
to global peace and stability.
Some people argue there's no such thing
as a just war. While I'd agree that, for ex-
ample, there's no such thing as a good war,
sometimes it's necessary. Besides, if anyone
reading this (all four of you) has an alter-
native way to get Hussein out of Kuwait and
out of power, I'd like to hear about it.
A "just war" has several components:
First, it must involve the right intentions. In
this case, they are restoration of a peaceful
government and the elimination of a danger

A "just war" also involves the avoidance

In other words, hands-off civilians and no

Perhaps we could flood the Iraqi televi-
sion airwaves with svndicated broadcasts

Over the past eighteen months,
the Council of Student Leaders has
come close to doubling the number
of clubs chartered and recognized
by Marist College. This growth has
been ideal for the development of
student interest.
club's longevity. Without a screen-
ing process and stricter criteria by
which
.clubs
are considered, the
limited existing support would be
further diminished.
Finally, we must seek a balance
in chartering. This balance will
stabilize the growth of clubs -
removing those who do not fulfill
the minimum criteria necessary to
maintain their charter, and restric-
ting the number of new organiza-
tions to assure modest levels of
growth.

Any time that the students have
sought a certain type of activity,
the Council has allowed it with few
exceptions, and few restrictions.
The only true stipulation that was
being considered in the chartering
process was simply that the club
was non-exclusionary.

We are drawing ever closer to ex-
ceeding our means to monitor,
evaluate and budget for this
onslaught of interest. Accompany-
ing this growth in clubs has been
a growth in misconception.
We must set up stringent
guidelins which fall within our
means of support. Also, we must
seek organizations which do not ex-
clude student membership. This
will
decrease their turnover, and
assure that after the "founders"
have graduated, the organization
.
will continue to exist.
We have gotten to a point where
practically all petitioning organiza-
tions received charters, and all
chartered organizations assumed
their needs would be able to be
budgeted for entirely. Students
have been relying too heavily on
Financial Board allocations and
they have not been providing the
appropriate amount of support
through fundraising.
Financial restrictions highlight
the need for reassessment of the
criteria considered in the budgetary
process. The rate of growth exceed-
ed our monetary means of support.
In other words, we simply cannot
spend that which we do not have.
Students will have to
_continue,
and in some cases begin, fundrais-
ing efforts. Many clubs have shown
it is possible to make money in fun-
draising -
Kappa Lambda Psi,
Tau Kappa Epsilon, arid Resident
Student Council (and they are just
a few) have proven that non-
traditional fundraising can work -
effectively.

Things have been taken for
granted lately. With infinite re-
quests, we have found ourselves in·
a position to mandate an im-
mediate
freeze.
These
developments have removed the
simplicity of yesteryear, and a sense
of complexity has gracefully taken
its place, much to the chagrin of
students as well as student leaders.
On Feb.
7,
the Council of Stu-
dent Leaders invoked a temporary
moratorium on the chartering of
clubs and organizations. This
moratorium will be in effect,
.at
a
minimum, until Feb. 28.
•
There are underlying situations
which warranted such an action. It
must be pointed out in advance
that
there are two issues in
•
ques-
tion. One issue is that of charter-
ing process and procedure, and the
second deals with financial matters.
While the two deal closely with
each other, they are separate issues.
The method by which clubs l4Ild
organizations are chartered is in
need of re-evaluation. Prior to
chartering, the organization must
~tablish the potential for that
During the 21-day moratorium,
the council is seeking to fulfill three
complex objectives: First, we will
.
establish a tru "Chartering Com-
mittee." The proposed committee
will serve two purposes: to screen
petitioning groups and recommend
·
quality organizations to the Coun-
cil of Students Leaders for charter-
ing; and to recommend the removal
of defunct organizations failing to
fulfill their minimum requirements.
The latter will be performed on a
semester basis.
Secondly, we will complete a
Chartering Handbook. This hand-
book will be available to interested
groups, and ·wm demonstrate the
exact procedure needed to. become
a chartered organization. By going
step by step through this Hand-
book, questions will be answered
and ambiguity eliminated.

Aren't
birthdays
a drag
sometimes?
It seems that once you hit
twenty-one, it's all down hill from
then on.
Why can't every birthday be as
exciting as when you were·a child?
Remember birthdays back then.
Gaudy party hats, loot bags, rocky
road ice cream and pin the tail on
the donkey. Those were the days
when you could still fit a candle for
each year of your age on the cake
without worrying about starting a
forest fire.
If you look at photographs from
your childhood birthdays, notice
that in ninety-nine percent of the
pictures you have this gigantic
goofy grin fixed on your face. (The
one percent in which you're scowl-
ing
is
probably because one of your
bratty friends threw a glob of onion
dip on your brand new birthday
outfit or you were caught cheating
in Candy Land and were forced to
return to the molasses pit.)
The smile of joy was most likely
attributed to innocence (in blunter
language - ignorance.) Little kids
don't ponder the implications of
their birthday. How many six,
seven or eight-year-olds, that you
know, view birthdays as just
another day that brings you closer
to your demise. (Well, maybe I'm
being a bit too dramatic.)
,;-;fhey. see; birthdays

exciting
celebrations. Birthdays·anow them
to stay up past their bedtime, stuff
themselves with their favorite cake
and basically be ruler for the day.
Anything they want goes.
Besides, there's no such thing as
a birth-day when you're little. In-
stead, you have what's called a
birth -WEEK. That one day of
glory is transformed into seven
days of sheer heaven. First you
celebrate with your immediate
family, then you have a day with
all the relatives (all the cheek pin-
ching you· endure just to get a
sweater three times too big), a party
with all your friends (co-ed as long
as there are chaperones to watch
out for aspiring doctors in the
crowd.) Then they have a party for
you at school, at the brownie
meeting and so on. (You get the
point!)
Boy, birthdays have undergone
some major metamorphosis. As I
mentioned earlier, this drastic
change seems to occur after one has
reached the prime age of twenty-
one. It's almost as if this age is the
peak
of.
our lives arid all the bir-
•
thdays that follow can't seem to
live up to the expectations we're us-
ed to.
What's a birthday now? A day
that's basically like any other day,
except you have another year toss-
ed onto the stack that's growing
rapidly.
You drag yourself out of bed,
brush your teeth with muppet
babies toothpaste (still clinging to
your youth in some ways) and stare
at yourself in the mirror, reflecting
on your past, questioning your
future and trying to survive in your
present.

Tales of parties in the house with the bubble
It happens at least twice a month at our
house. We have a party.
They're usually on Friday and lots of peo-
ple come to drink beer and spill it on our
hard-wood floor.
Even I do a fair amount of spilling but
it doesn't matter because I know 1'll
·h~ve
a
part in cleaning it up one of the next two
days.
Until then, I can go on spilling and interac-
ting with all our friends that have decided
to visit our humble abode.
There seems to be a common need among •
students to get out of their own houses or
donns and visit someone else's house.
This need is especially acute among the
freshmen and sophomores. They have to visit
other people's houses to get beer, of course,
and when they do, they tend to trash the
house.
That's why we don't want them at our
house.
Drink in your rooms. Just don't invite the
entire do~ to share a case of beer and play
Thumper m your 10' X 15' cubical.
That's why I love living off-campus - we
can have parties when we want. And we can
even hang neon signs in the windows and not
worry about being busted for a "fire viola-
tion."
I'm going to go out on a limb here and
say that generally, our parties are pretty
good. At least our friends say so.
And if they weren't, I wouldn't spend an
entire column - which by the way isn't very
funny so far -
on the subject.
. I_
suppose it's the design of our house that
mVJtes comedy and chaos.
First, there's the spiral staircase which
leads to the only bathroom in the house.
People unaccustomed to spiral staircases
tend to go up and down them fearing for
t~eir lives. And with good reason,
as
the
mght progresses the task of climbing or
descending the stairs becomes more challeng-
ing and life-threatening.
Spiral stairs are also one-way.
People going up and down the stairs usual-
ly meet halfway. Girls with lots of cleavage
going up the stairs tend to back down in em-
barrassment, whereas guys who just splash-
ed their mid-section while washing their
hands always back up the stairs in retreat.
Fortunately, no one has unwillingly decid-
ed to do flips and somersaults down the
stairs, although a leg or two has slipped
through the railings.
Here's another tip for the gals: Mini skirts
are awfully revealing when one goes up a
spiral staircase.
Be
warned that the moan-
ing you hear while climbing the stairs is not
due to someone's foot being stepped on.
Thoughts

Our house also has a balcony, which serves
as a form of observational entertainment
while waiting for the bathroom.
Of course,
it
also
provides a challenge for
those above who pour beer into open mouths
15 feet below.
It
usually ends up drenching
people's clothes, but hey, if the brew fits,
wear it.
Another unique feature in our house is the
bubble. Y cs, those of who have seen this uni-
que feature, now know of its legacy.
Personally, I think someone mistook a
coffee stain on the construction plans for a
bubble and the result is a large plastic bub-
ble, jutting out from our wall.
The bubble can easily
be
seen from the
dining area. So can the person's butt who
keeps mooning people from inside it during
our parties.
But aside from in-house full-moons and
spiral staircase traffic jams, people tell us
they like our house.
In fact, people like our house so much they
like to take parts of it home with them.
We've lost a number of glasses and cups
since September and whomever tore the mail
box off our outside door - thank you. We
didn't need it anyway.
People like to visit our house too.
Especially when we're not home. They also
like to take things home with them.
Somewhere in Poughkeepsie, there's a
man smelling like Polo wearing my
housemate's Sizzler uniform under my other
housemate's leather jacket. But at least he
isn't listening to our stereo while watching
a movie on our VCR. He had to drop those
when the police were running after him.
He must have really enjoyed his brief stay
at our home because he broke through our
kitchen \\indow to spend Christmas day
inside.
But if you're invited to our house this
weekend, by all means come.
And by the way, does anyone have a mop
we can borrow?

Aid cuts, low student pool
threaten future enrollment
by
PETER M. O'KEEFE
Staff Writer
The declining number of high
school seniors coupled with Gov.
Mario
Cuomo's proposed budget
cuts is causing Marist officials to
strengthen efforts to attract pro-
spective students.
The
average
number
of
graduating high school seniors has
been on a steady decline since 1988
and studies show the decline will
continue until 1995.
As a result, colleges are being
forced to change their recruiting
policies.

ed 15 percent in the New England

Murray said if the budget is ac-

schools may be forced to enroll in
public institutions, he said. The lost
aid may affect their ability to
finance private education, he said.
The cuts, however, will cost tax-
payers more money in the long run,
Murray said.

.brings creativity to internship
by
PETER O'KEEFE
Staff Writer
Elena Pulido stood in the mid-
dle of her Townhouse living room,
hands covered with paint, implor-
ing her housemates to tell her what
a giraffe's nose looks like.
When one finally gave her the
answer, she rushed to her table and
began m:.king the creation. About
two and one half hours later,
Pulido was checking it out in front
of the living room mirrors.
"I
would get myself into a fren-
zy," the communication arts ma-
jor from Yonkers, N.Y., said.
"Sometimes
the glue or the
materials would be all over. With
so much going on, I just got caught
up in it."
For Pulido, turning the living
room upside-down was all in the
name of homework. A fine arts
minor, Pulido toiled over the con-
struction of 13 masks for a full-
time internship at the Mill Street
Loft, a multi-educational arts
center in Poughkeepsie.
Pulido, who chose the internship
over one at NBC, was asked to
make the masks for the production
of "Just So Stories," a children's
play about animals that tries to ex-
plain "why camels have humps"
and "where elephants get their
trunks from."
The one-act Rudyard Kipling
play, presented by New Day Reper-
tory Company, was on stage at
Vassar Institute Theater Monday
and yesterday. A third show is
scheduled for early May.
Pulido attended Monday's per-
formance to see her creations -
among them a dog, alligator, camel
and elephant -
make their stage
debut.
:She was pleased with the results.
"While I was watching the play,
the actresses and actors wearing the
masks disappeared and the role
came out," Pulido said. "Then, I
just sat back and enjoyed the show
-
I was like'one°of the· kids."
But giving up the masks -
which she had 10 days and little
money to make -
was hard for
Pulido who became attached to
them.
"It
was a strange feeling to give
them to the performers," said
Pulido who was asked to make the
masks on the first day of her in-
ternship. "But it was gratifying to
see them come alive in the show.''
Pulido's apprehension to hand
the masks over stemmed from her
immersion in making them.
Boxes of fur, fabrics and
feathers occupied a corner of the
room as well as markers, a glue gun
and scissors.
For example, she used old furs
for the cat's mask and fabrics and
pillow feathers for the. birds'. She
worked at least 90 minutes and
sometimes as long as three hours to
create each one. And that's not in-
cluding the time she spent in the
Library paging through animal en-
cyclopedias to see exactly what the
animals looked like and reading the
play's script to match an animal's
appearance to its personality in the
story.
Now that the masks are out of
the way, Pulido's focus is turning
elsewhere. She is helping make a
brochure for the Dutchess Arts
Camp and is working on building
the loft's archive.
Pulido said her experiences at
this self-sought internship (she's the
first Marist intern to work there)
have prompted her to explore the
art
education
field
after
graduation.
"There's a lot of caring people
(in the field)," Pulido said. "And
I want to educate the community,
especially kids, about art."

Despite milestone, women drop two
HOCKEY

The third period was all Marist.
by
CHRIS SHEA
Staff Writer
Senior Danielle Galarneau hit a
milestone last Thursday when she
scored her
l
,OOOth
career point.
Yet, unfortunately, on this occa-
sion, the most important number
on her stat sheet was the number
five.

She had five fouls, enough to put
her and her team out of the game.
The Lady Red Foxes dropped a
disappointing 73-66 decision to
Mount St. Mary's College and re-
main in a tie for third place in the
Northeast Conference.
Mount St. Mary's went on a 14-2
run in the second half to get
themselves back in the game and,
eventually, forced an overtime.
Marist, however, could have
won the game before overtime.
Ruth Halley could connect on
only one of three free throws down
the stretch. In a bizarre twist of
events, a normal inbounds pass
turned into trouble as Charlene
Fields could not handle a pass at
midcourt and lost the ball out of
bounds.
Fields either thought a Mount St.
Mary's player was in pursuit
behind her and was attempting to
pass or she was worried about a
backcourt violation -
except in
this situation, there would have
been no backcourt violation.
Galarneau and Fields paced the
team offensively each scoring
14
points. Fields also added
10
rebounds.
Kris Collins, seeing only limited
time due to a hyper-extended knee
sustained in
the
first half, finished
with 11 points.
The game was marred by, what
coach Ken Babineau called "one-
sided officiating."
"I felt the officiating hurt us big-
time," said Babineau. "There were
some questionable calls that went
against us and really turned the
tide."

past two years.

STEVEN SCHMITT
Staff Writer
It must
.have
seemed like old
times.
The fans could feel the pressure
as the two teams that had battled
on the court all afternoon brought
the game to its final moments.
Only 10 seconds left and three
points seperating the two teams;
luckily, this was nothing new for
the two coaches.
George Strba and Thomas
Wade, two of the first coaches in
Marist history,
were brought
together recently for the annual
alumni basketball game.
Players ranging from the 1960s
to the 1980s were invited to the
game to dust off their skills.
It seems. fitting that two of the
earliest coaches in the program
were also invited.
Strba was the first coach of
Marist basketball, starting in the
1960-61 season and remembers
when the home court was much
different
from the James J.
Mccann Center.
"We played most of our games
in the Marist Gym, and that only
sat about 200 people," he said.
The Marist Gym was turned in-
to Marian Hall after the Mccann
Center was built, but Wade
remembers what it used to be like
to play there.
humble that it even played some of
its games at Our Lady of Lourdes
High School in Poughkeepsie.
In the early
stages
of the team,
Marist was not even Division III,
as compared with the present status
of Division I.
"We could pretty much schedule
anyone we wanted," said Wade.
"There wasn't as much structure to
the leagues back then."
Since the team could play
anyone, certain rivalries were
bound to arise.
"We
would have rivalries with
Siena
and
LeMoyne
mainly
because we would play them alot,''
said Wade.
However, the biggest rivalry was
with Danbury College, he said
.
"The kids would really get ex-
cited about those games, because
the competition was always so
close," Wade said.
Both coaches agree that basket-
ball at Marist could not have stayed
as small as it was in the beginning.
"1
think the program grew with
the school," said Strba.
The growth of the basketball
program seems to have helped the
school, according to Wade.

The Harlem Globetrotters 65th
Anniversary season stopped in
Poughkeepsie last Saturday and
put on an entertaining show for the
. thousands gathered at the James J.
McCann Center.
•
Although the outcome was ex-
pected -
the Globetrotters
defeated the Washington Generals
for the umpteenth time - some of
the moves and tricks they portrayed
will be in the crowd's memory for
the first time.
"This is the first time I have seen
them live," said Marist sophomore
Tom Arcuri.
"It
is a much better
show Jive then on television.
Everyone was laughing - adults,
teens and children -
it was just a
great time for everyone involved"
Half court shots, fancy passing
and a whole lot of jokes were many
of the highlights witnessed by the
audience.
"They are the best,"
said
12-year-old Mike Borrello. "I have
seen them on TV and it is great
when they . fake the other team
out."
Although others enjoyed the
showmanship, there were other
aspects of the game that were
enjoyed.

Cagers end sfid;
win two straight
by
MIKE O'FARRELL
Sports Editor
Tonight, the men's basketball will try for its longest winning streak
of the year -
three games. .
.
.
.
Marist, fresh off of two straight Northeast Conference v1ctones, will
be in Brooklyn,
N.Y. where it will attempt to avenge a loss earlier in
the season against St. Francis (N.Y.)
The Red Foxes will also be looking for their second straight road vic-
tory. Monday night, Marist defeated Long Island University 87-85, thanks
to a last second layup by Bobby Reasbeck.
The winning streak started last Thursday at the McCann Center when
the Red Foxes beat Mount St. Mary's, 98-82. It was the first conference
win for the Red Foxes at home. this year.
Against Long Island, Reasbeck, making his third start of the season,
quickly turned from the goat to the hero.
With 33 seconds left in the game and ahead by two points, 85-83,
Reasbeck threw an errant inbounds pass that eventually ended up in the
hands of Shannon Shell who evened the score at
85
with just under IO
seconds left to play.
Steve Paterno then inbounded the ball for the Red Foxes to Fred In-
gles, who then found Reasbeck running toward the basket. Ingles pass
was on target and Reasbeck was able to avoid the Long Island defender
before securing the victory.
•
•
Ingles led the Red Fox offense by tallying 32 points, 26 of which came
in the first half, and grabbing 13 rebounds. Ingles was double-teamed
effectively in the second half.
Reasbeck, Paterno and Andy Lake each notched 11 points for Marist.
Reggie Gaut, who did not play against Mt. St. Mary's, chipped in with
10 points.
Reasbeck may continue to find himself in the starting lineup for the
last two games of the regular season because Marist has won every game
in which he has started.
Defensively, the Red Foxes shut Long Island down late in the second
half, holding them to just two baskets in the last eight minutes of play.
Marist played Long Island without the services of Izett Buchanan and
Jason Turner. The freshmen were suspended indefinitely by Magarity
for missing a scheduled academic meeting, a violation of the team's
academic policy. Neither player made the trip to the game. The last time
Magarity suspended a player was in 1989 when freshmen Reggie
Chambers violated curfew when the team was on the road.
·'smart hockey' ends skaters' skid
Last week against Mt. St. Mary's, a different Marist team emerged
from the locker room. Perhaps it was the return of senior captain George
Siegrist, who had been sidelined with injuries since Jan. 4. Perhaps it
was the insertion of Tom Fitzsimons and Bobby Reasbeck into the star-
ting lineup. Whatever it was, it was effective.

The hockey team is back.
• In a slump two weeks ago, the
Red Foxes turned a two-game los-
ing streak into a two-game winn-
ing streak this past weekend.
Led by the return of goalie
Mike
Rodia, Marist downed Southern
Connecticut State University 10-4
on Saturday. Rodia had been out
of actionwith a broken arm since
December.

he was on during the game."
With the score tied 1-1 in the first
period,
Marist
scored
four
unanswered goals. Scott Brown put
the Red Foxes up 2-1 and just 60
seconds later, Jeff Frost made it
3-1.
Scott
Kendall
and
Doug
Wasowski also scored a goal each
during the Marist stretch.
After Southern closed the gap
t9
5-2 with 18:34 left in the first
period, John Walker tallied his se-
cond goal of the game just 12
seconds later.
Scott Doyle started the scoring
for Marist in the second period to
put the Red Foxes up 7-2. Brown
made it 8-2 on a short-handed goal
assisted by Kendall. It was Brown's
second goal of the game.
After a Southern goal started the
third period, John Lloyd and
Derek Porello secured the Marist
win, 10-4.
Both teams took 28 shots on
goal.
Last Wednesday, Marist beat
Hofstra for the second time in as
many tries, 7-5.
It looked as though Marist might
have been in danger of losing its
third straight game as Hofstra
scored two quick goals in the first
.period.
However, Coach Bob Mattice
said his team put the past behind
them'.
"After they scored two quick
ones, there was no panic," he said.
"For the first time this season it
was evident that we were in con-
trol."
Walsh got the Red Foxes on the
board on an assist from Paul
Lloyd. After a Hofstra goal at the
14:54 mark of the first period,
John Walker scored 50 seconds
• later to make the score 3-2 Hofstra
after one period.
Hofstra again came out strong
after the first intermission, scoring
two consectutive goals. Mike Man-
nenbach then pulled Marist to
within two goals, 5-3, at the end of
the second period.
Mattice said that in the locker
room after the second period he
knew that his team would come
away with the
win.

Both teams played even basketball in the first half, as the Mount went
into halftime with a 42-41 lead.
However, in the second half, the Red Foxes came out firing and never
looked back.
"We should be playing this well," Coach Magarity said.
"It
was a
combination of things, we got the breaks and got some big contribu-
tions from people."
Ingles broke out of his two game slump to lead the Red Foxes with
30 points and nine rebounds.
"With Ingles having a big game, we are in a position to win some ball
games," said Magarity.
A lot of the credit for Ingles success could be given to Tom Fitzsimons
~ho scored a career-high 15 points in 22 minutes. More importantly, Fitz:
s1mons helped clear the middle for Ingles.
"We started Tommy to draw out Cavanaugh (seven-foot center Greg
Cavanaugh) and it worked," said Magarity. "With him out guarding
Fitz, Ingles could maneuver.
Paterno also tallied 18 points for Marist and Andy Lake came off the
bench to contribute 16 points and five assists.
<::>nee
again, guard Dexter Dunbar played a strong game running the
pomt. The freshman scored nine points and handed out nine assists.
Dunb~r als<;>
committed only one turnover and made key free throws,
a~ area m wh1c? the Red Foxes have struggled all seaon long. Prior to
this game, Manst only shot 58 percent from the charity stripe. Against
the M<;>un_t,
it shot 70 percent (21-30).
Manst ts now 5-20 overall and 3-11 in the Northeast Conference.
Auto races, arbitration and Mary Lou Retton
Rambling
thoughts
while
wondering what ever happened to
Mary Lou Retton:
I don't really like to watch auto
racing. However, Sunday I when I
woke up, I punished myself by wat-
ching the Daytona 500. I don't
know why I watched it. Maybe I
am one of those people who wat-
ches an auto race for the crashes -
and there certainly were enough of
those. However, after a late Satur-
day night, it was not easy to watch
those cars go around and around
and around.
NBA players are going to com-
pete in the Olympics next year. Do
you really think some European
team is going to stop them? Picture
the frontcourt of Barkley, Malone
and Ewing. Need some help from
the bench? How about Robinson
or O'Neal?
Who is going to run the break?
How about Magic and Michael -
that, if assembled, would be the
best backcourt
combination
possible.
If Coach Chuck Daly comes
back from Barcelona without a
gold medal, I am personally going
to hunt him down and lynch him.
A team with that much talent
should not even break a sweat in
the Olympics.
Thursday
Morning
Quarterback
I wish that all this arbitration
stuff would end. It is understan-
dable to see Cy Young winner
Doug Drabek get $3.3 million.
However, Wally Joyner of the
Angels was awarded $2.1 million ___

and he did not even play half a
season. With the increase in
salaries, it is the fans that
v.ill
be
forced to pay, i.e. increased ticket
prices.
The one good thing about ar-
bitration is that spring training
can't be too far away.
The one good thing about spring
training is the fact that opening day
is only 45 days away.
Besides the Celtics, Lakers or
Pistons, can anybody beat UNL V?
Have you seen the new logo for
the 49ers? It
is
the ugliest team logo
I have ever seen.
How 'bout those Mets?
The basketball team is on a bit
of a roll. Better late than never I
guess.
Speaking of basketball, kudos to
Danielle Galarneau for scoring her
I ,OOOth
career point last Thursday.
She is the second Marist player to
pass that plateau this year. Steve
Paterno accomplished the same
thing in January.
What happened to Reggie Gaut?
Last year, Gaut was one of the
sparks on a 17-11 team. This year,
his production has diminished, as
• has his playing time. He has bee
a disappointment this year.
One bright spot has been Dexter
Dunbar. The freshman point guard
has come on nicely since suffering
the turnover blues earlier in the
season.
I don't understand why the
women's team has only won 12
games this year. This is a team
loaded with talent. They are better
than the 12 wins would indicate.
Coach Ken Babineau's team was
picked to win the Northeast Con-
ference this year. However, if the
team plays like it did against Mt.
St. Mary's last week -
blowing a
big second half lead -
the men's
team might even be able to beat
them.
Bobby Knight has found himself
a gem in Damon Bailey, a
freshman phenom. Knight first
brought attention to Bailey when
he was in seventh grade. Six years
later, he has proven his worth as a
legitimate college player.
Don Criqui is my favorite sports
broadcaster.
Edwin Moses and Herschel
Walker are members of the United
States four-man bobsledding team
that finished the world champion-
:;hips in seventh place. The team
recruited Moses and Walker for
their speed to try and improve
enough for a shot at a medal dur-
ing the Winter Olympics in 1992.
From the looks of things, the U.S.
team is going to need more than
speed.
Wrestlemania VII is coming in
March.
The Sports Illustrated swimsuit
issue is on the newsstands. It is as
spectacular as usual. However. for
some reason there is only one pic-
ture of the prettiest girl -
Kathy
Ireland.
Oh by the way, Mary Lou, the
d_oll
of the 1984 Olympics, got mar-
ned last month.
