Four vehicles collided Thursday
at the intersection of the main en-
trance and Route 9 Thursday,
when one car rear ended another
and caused a chain reaction, accor-
ding to the Office of Safety and
Security.
There were no injuries reported
in the accident, according to J .F,
Leary, director of safety and
security.
The accident, which occurred at
5: 10 p.m., involved one of the
Canterbury vans and three other
cars, according to Leary. At the
time it was snowing, and a light
dusting had accumulated.
The van, operated by. Kevin
Cullen, was facing north on Route
9, waiting to tum left into the ~ain
entrance of Marist. There were
four students in the van,
Leary
said.
Three other cars, facing south,
were
.waiting
to take.a left onto
Fulton Street. But the third car in
line at the intersection ran into the
rear of the car in front of it, which
created a domino effect. And the
front car smashed head-on into the
front bumper of the Canterbury
van,
Leary
said.
The rear car, which was driven
by Poughkeepsie resident Dr.
Seymour Levin, reportedly had
significant damage to the front of
it, as did the rear of the middle car.

WMC_R to go FM
From atop Champagnat,
station hits the airwaves

CHRIS SHEA
Editorial Page Editor
Students tuning t!teir radios later this month will fin~

new stati~n
on their dials when WMCR abandons its cable transm1ss1on system m
favor of broadcasting over the FM airwaves.
The change, expected to take place March 18 at 7:30 a.m., results fro!Il
the efforts of students and faculty who said the current system of radio
transmission by cable hook-ups to individual radios is outdated.
After corresponding with the Federal Communications Commission,
WMCR obtained permission to broadcast on the FM band at 88.1 on
the dial.
.
The station will not be FCC licensed because it will be broadcastmg
with only one-tenth of a watt. This will be just enough power to allow
the station's signal to reach the outer perimeters of the college campus,
-
according to Tom
Morgan,
station program_ming director. .
Morgan, a junior communication arts maJor, h~ been tryi~g t_o g~t
WMCR on the FM dial since he became involved with the station m his
freshmen year.
"When I got here, the college had already p~rcha~ed the_ necess_ary
equipment but there was no money to pay for licensmg so 1t was JUSt
sitting around," Morgan said.
.
.
.
Morgan said William Ryan, a professor and director of mstruct1onal
technology, was instrumental in helping WMCR handle the process of
getting access to the FM airwaves.
•
"He contacted the FCC and was always there to answer my questions,"
he said.
•
.
•
Ryan, who has a first-class, radio broadcasting license and is also an
active ham radio operator set up the transmitter to see if it worked. He
said he was impressed with thcfquality of equipment the station bad.
"My eyes lit up," he said.
•
.
•
--
With the help of Steve Sansola, dean of student activities and hous-
ing Ryan installed the antennae on top of Champagnat Hall.
Ryan, who was also faculty advisor to WRPI (th~ college ra~io st~-
tion at Renssalear Polytechnic Institute) before corrung to Manst, said
the FCC tries to make accommodations for college stations.
"Even though there were no available licenses in the Hudson Valley
region the FCC will permit WMCR to broadcast under low power -
so long as it doesn't interfere with any commercial stations," he said.

proposal shot down;

Staff Writer
A former Marist student who
claimed that
a
professor failed to
provide adequate instruction time
last semester has dropped her legal
action for breach of contract.
The lawsuit, filed Jan. 28, was
withdrawn last•week in Town of
Poughkeepsie Small Claims Court
after the ex-student, Claire Havel,
met with college officials and a
mediator in closed session.
Havel,
a
32-year-old
business/finance major from Wap-
ingers, N. Y., had said earlier in
ebruary that she was bringing the
suit in hopes of "getting the college
to listen" to her.
Havel
had
alleged
that
Christopher Riley, an adjunct in-
structor for "Financial Manage-
ment," consistently dismissed her
class early, did not give her ade-
quate time to complete a midterm
exam
and did not offer a review
session before the
exam.
No proof of the allegations was
presented to the court.
. When the bailiff called the
case
Feb. 27, both parties approached
the bench and Justice Ira A. Perga-
ment advised them to solve the
• pute with the mediator present.
The court-appointed mediator
et with Havel; Robert Lackaye,
local attorney representing the
Uege;
and John Kelly,
chairper-
son of the Division of Management
Studies.
The mediation process, which at-
tempts to get both parties to agree
on a settlement, lasted_ almost an
hour and 15 minutes in a tiny con-
ference room adjacent to the
courtroom.
When both parties emerged,
Havel told Pergament that she was
withdrawing her suit.
"I did this for them to listen to
me and they obviously did. We
talked and they offered me some
options which I can't comment on,
but I at least got them to hear my
opinion," said Havel afterwards.
Kelly also refused to comment
about what went on in the media-
tion room but did offer his
thoughts before going into the
room.
"I was and still am concerned
with her pursuing her degree and
I didn't want to hinder her goals if
at all possible," said Kelly. Havel
has senior standing, but dropped
the only course she was taking this
semester.
Around the time Havel made lier
allegations, Kelly distributed a
memo to the Management Studies
faculty, mentioning the suit and
college policy concerning class
time.
"I give- reminders constantly.
The memo was sent out to rein-
force current college policy," said
Kelly. Copies of the memo weren't
available at ress time.

Following the rejection of the
_
proposed new academic calendar
and class schedule recently by
President Dennis J. Murray and his
cabinet, an ad-hoc committee is
making revisions to the proposal.
Murray set an end-of-semester
• deadline for the ad-hoc committee
to resubmit
a revised class
schedule, which would
-
be
im-
plemented in the spring of 1992, ac-
cording to Marc vanderHeyden,
vice president for academic affairs.
The first proposal was rejected
after the committee submitted it on
Dec. 20, 1990.
However, vanderHeyden said a
new academic calendar may take
longer because the committee is
considering eliminating Winter In-
tersession. He said the cabinet is
sensitive to the monetary implica-
tions of cutting out the intersession.
Although the cabinet accepted
parts of the proposal, it
was
return-
ed to the committee for revisal
because of a number of concerns,
according
to the Office of
Academic Affairs.
..The president decided there
were too many questions unresolv-
ed, at least for the fall semester,"
said Caroline Rider, assistant pro-
fessor of business and committee
member.
The original_proposal included
many changes to the academic
calendar and the class schedule.
Proposed changes to the school
calendar included:
- A two day holiday on Oct. 17
and 18, which would serve as a
mid-semester break
-
A one-week recess at
Thanksgiving
-
Elimination of mid-term ex-
ams, which would free up more
class time
-
Elimination of the Winter
Intersession
-
Observing Martin Luther
King Jr. Day in January, should
the intersession be eliminated
-
Starting and
.
ending the
semester one week earlier
- Holding classes on the Mon-
day after Easter
-
Earlier Commencement
ceremonies
The committee's recommended
improvements to the weekly class
schedule involved:
-
Reinstatement of two free
slots on Wednesday at 11:25 a.m.
and Thursday at I p.m.
-
Elimination of Thursday
classes frolh 8:15 a.m. to 11:10
a.m.
-
Friday afternoon classes
-
Holding Saturday classes
from 9 a.m. to
11:50
a.m. and I
p.m. to 3:50 p.m.
The committee advised Murray
about some problems with the
calendar and the schedule in a let-
ter dated Feb. 4, 1991.
The committee suggested pro-
posed tw_o
new time slots: Slot five
would meet on Tuesday at 8:15
a.m. and Thursday at 2:35 p.m.
and slot six would meet on Tues-
day at 9:50 a.m. and Thursday at
4:10 p.m. The Academic Affairs
Committee said these slots would
inconvenience professors, who
need either morning or afternoon
classes - not both - as well as stu-
dent athletes and workers.
In addition, the AAC admitted
students would avoid Friday after-
noon classes, and without back-to-
back free slots, faculty meetings
would suffer.
Problems were also raised about
the holiday schedules. _
A week-long Thanksgiving break
may push the first day of classes
before Labor Day, which could
upset upset faculty and students,
the AAC said. And holding classes
the Monday after Easter would re-
quire students to travel on Easter
Sunday, which t~e AAC said
would be unrealistic.
The ad-hoc committee comprises
Chair John Ritschdorff, Richard
Atkins,
Gerard Cox, Jackie
Moriarity, Judith Saunders and
Herbert Sherman, and Matthew
Kruger,
the student representative.

Stone captures part of an era
with evocative film
·'The
n·oors'
Editor's· Picks
by
BRIAN MCNELIS
When one.thinks of the sixties in terms of music,
usually The Beatles, The Stones, and even Elvis Presley
come to mind.
But Oliver Stone's newest movie chronicles the rise
and fall of another
influential
band from that era.
That band is The Doors.
"The Doors" is a well-researched movie. Some of
the scenes are fabricated and did not really happen,
but the majority of the movie gives a very accurate
history and portrayal of the band.
No more is this evident than in the performance of
Val Kilmer as lead singer Jim Morrison. Kilmer's per-
formance is excellent. He captures Morrisons' style
and mystique perfectly, as well as his magnetism and
reckfess nature. Kilmer is also very good musically.
He sounds a lot like the real Jim Morrison when he
has to sing the movie's few songs without the use of
lip-synch.

for
information.
The movie, aptly titled, is called
"The
Doors." The
movie follows The Doors history from their inception
to their early gigs on the Sunset Strip in California
- and even through their rise and eventual fall from
fame. The cause of their ultimate demise was caused
by the self-destructive behavior of lead singer Jim
Morrison.
The rest of the band members are also well played.
Kevin Dillon plays John Densmore; the
.drummer.
Densmore is constantly worrying about

And aside from the pressures of fame, the movie
doesn't offer too many clues as to why Morrison acted
the way he did. Instead the movie paints a portrait
of Morrison and lets the audience decide for
themselves.
The many concert scenes are handled very well by
Stone, who employed thousands of extras. These
scenes are well executed, and
include
everything from
people throwing marijuana joints and flowers on stage
to groupies rushing the stage and getting up and dan-
cing. It is not surprising that Stone seems to have a
very good feel for the era of the sixties since his last
two movies, "Platoon" and "Born on the Fourth of
July," were both set during that era.
ln smaller roles, Crispin Glover plays Andy Warhol
in a small scene in New York. Kathleen Quinlan ap-
pears as Patricia Kennealy, Morrison's other
girlfriend. Billy ldol also makes a cameo apperance.
And Stone shows up as a film teacher at UCLA. The
real John Densmore has a bit part as a studio engineer

towards the end of the film.
The cinematography in "The Doors" is very
evocative. And the sound track is very good, even
though most of the songs are only played in part; very
few are sung
in
entirety.
The movie also devotes time to following Morrison
on some of his many acid-induced "trips." These
scenes are oddly hypnotic and are characterized by a
lot of American-Indian imagery. The movie develops
an odd relationship between Morrison and the
American-Indians;
in one sequence they even
materialize and dance with Morrison on. stage.
Whether a Doors fan or not this film should be seen.
It is extremely well-directed and acted. One walks away
from the movie with a very clear picture of who The
Doors were and what they were all about.

Sophomore breaks back

A sophomore broke her back
Sunday after falling
13
feet over the
second-floor railing to the first-

cording to J.F. Leary, director of
safety and security.
Margaret Timmes suffered com-

expected
to be
released in a few days from St.

wear a back brace for about three
months, according to the girl's

The issue of condoms on campus
has resurfaced as the Gay Lesbian
Bisexual Student Association and
other concerned individuals have
been gathering signatures to peti-
tion for the availability of condoms
at Marist.
The GLBSA first laid the peti-
tions out on its AIDS infromation
table
·-during
the first week of
Febtuary/·when' Suzi -Landolphi
lectured on "Hot, Sexy and Safer"
in the theater.
During a 24-hour period, the
group
received
about
200
signatures,
said Rich Roder,
Marian Hall mentor and a contact
person for the GLBSA.
"One of the most important
steps in the prevention of AIDS is
the use of condoms," said Roder.
"They are a health service."
Members of the GLBSA said
they will continue to distribute the
petitions
for more student
signatures.
The issue has also been con-
fronted by the state recently
because New York City's high
schools will be the nation's first to
have full condom distribution
programs.
The program, which will make
condoms available on request to
students at all 120 city high schools,
without parental consent and
without mandatory counseling, was
proposed by Joseph A. Fernandez,
the city's schools chancellor, and
passed on Feb. 28.
Westina L. Matthews, who cast
the tie-breaking vote, said she
voted so a child would not lose his
or her life to AIDS.
While condoms are not 100 per-
cent reliable, they are "the only
protection that we have at the mo-
ment against the AIDS virus and
other
(sexually
transmitted
diseases) as well," said Jane

the
number of
reported cases of STDs on campus
has increased steadily in the past
five years.
"Through the GYN clinic we
identify at least one STD per
week," she said.
Marist offers gynocological ser-
vices to female students each Mon-
day in the Health Services Office.
"Back in '82 The Circle reported
that there were 3 - 5 cases of STDs
on campus," said Douglas Roth, a
sophomore from New Rochelle,
N.Y. "The risk of AIDS among
college students in general was

in

still don't have condoms on cam-
pus."
According to Roth, he became
interested in the debate as he listen-
ed to the administration's reason-
ing that condoms on campus pro-
mote promiscuity. He said he is
also in favor of an education
program.
"This is
ari
institute for learning_
and bettering ourselves and they
give us tools to do this with tex-
tbooks," Roth said. "We also live
here, so supply us with the tools for
safer sex."
Marist has recently established a
committee of staff members,
whose goal is to organize an educa-
tional workshop for all incoming
students during orientation.
•
"Education is
,the
most
•impor-
.
tantthing," said O'Brien.· "We are
looking to start educating students
better than we've been doing in
the
past, starting with the incoming
freshman."
Other colleges, such as Vassar,
have student-run organizations that
provide AIDS education programs
for all freshmen students along
with a student-run group called
CHOICE, which includes student
counseling, a hotline for questions,
and specific hours when condoms
may be purchased.
Roth and the GLBSA said they
both hope to continue their fight
for condom
distribution
on
campus.
Roth said he may propose to sell
condoms on campus and use the
profits for educational purposes.
"The people who are educated
and know the dangers that are out
there want them here," he added.
Station to air on FM frequency

at least 100 watts. Marist doesn't
have the resources to do that, he
said.
John Campbell, general manager
of WMCR, said he believes that
along with benefiting the students,
the station's change will do a lot for
the station workers' morale.
"The members of the radio sta-
tion often felt they weren't getting
any feedback from listeners," he
said.
Campbell estimated that around
200 rooms are hooked up via cable
to receive the station's signal.
"The popularity of WMCR is
already out there, but this change
will defmitefy increase it," he said.
Campbell said the switch from
the cable hook-up system to broad-
casting on the FM frequency will
not increase the coverage of the sta-
tion, but will make it more
accessible.
Morgan agreed. He said the
average student at Marist doesn't
understand how to hook up the
cable to their radio. As a result,
they don't put forth the time to in-
stall the cable and they can't tune
-
in the station.
The station is planning a public
relations campaign to coincide with
the initial
FM
broadcasts.
"On the eighteenth, we're going
to have MCR staff members
situated all over campus. They're
going to be playing MCR on radios
and givins away CDs and concert
tickets," 'Campbell said.
The station also has plans to do
a live remote broadcast from the
WMCR golf tournament, an e-.·ent
to be held April 26.
Campbell
said the station
already provides a lot of services
and
information
in
their
broadcasts.
"A lot of people don't know
this, but we have news updates off
an Associated Press wire every half
an hour from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and
we are constantly promoting on-
campus events," he said.
Doug Cole, faculty advisor to
WMCR, said the station will have
added responsibilities now that the
signal will be more accessible.
"The station will have to be very
careful with the news and with our
signal. We stop being a private lit-
tle club when our signal reaches the
general community," he said.
Cole said he would like to see
two facilities be developed at
Marist. The first would be the on-
the-air Marist College radio sta-
tion. And the second would be us-
ed for training and experimenting
with new members.

A middle-aged woman with

dent at Marist, could begin the

Sullivan pulled her four loose
teeth, and moved on.
.
"She was very grateful," said
Sullivan, who had eight other teeth
to
show for his day's work.
Getting away from his Donnelly
Hall office and the daily routine,
Marist's full-time administrator
moonlighted as a part-time dentist
at a health clinic in Jeremie, a city
with about 50,000 people on the
western tip of Haiti. His nine-day
trip to the impoverished Caribbean
island also included a stop at a
Mari~ Brothers' school, an or-
phanage run by the Missionaries of
Mother Teresa and a community
hospital.
And what Sullivan saw in these
and other places in this third-world
country left him with a conviction
to return every year, possibly with
some Marist students.
At the 3-year-old clinic, about
500
Haitians come in daily to get
free health care, often lining up as
early as 4 a.m., an hour before
opening. Late last January when
Sullivan worked and stayed there,
the clinic was as busy as usual.

Library official attributes noise
to soci~lly-actiye student body
by
MICHAEL FUREY
Staff Writer
Some Marist students sit at the tables laughing and
socializing, seemingly ignoring the books that sur-
round them and concentrate on the conversation.
The library, traditionally a place of study and
research, has been dubbed a place for social gather-
ing by students because of the excessive noise level
within the building.
Suzanne Dotson, a senior from Oakdale, N.Y., said
she usually ends up talking with her friends when she
goes to the library.
"The library is more of a place to socialize than do
work," she said. "Even if I am set to do work it's
almost impossible with everyone around me talking.''
John Zanni, a senior from Danbury, Conn., had
his own reason why students visit the library.
"It is a social gathering, probably because there is
no place to gather socially on campus," he said. "The
library is one place you know that you'll see people."
Zanni said he doesn't study in the library because
of the noise and the temptation to talk. He usually
studies in an empty classroom in Donnelly Hall.
building.
"I
do particularly feel that talking in a library is
a problem in one sense, but in another sense one
should be able to work, which at times requires talk-
ing," McGinty said. "The general situation is such that
people's work requires people to talk."
He said he believes people come to college to meet
other people as well as to earn a degree.
The main floor of the library is the busiest, par-
ticularly during 8 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., because it's the
area which students do group work, according to
McGinty.
"My general observation is that Marist students tend
to be very social and, as such, are going t,::,
be noisy,"
he said.
McGinty said the wood ceiling on the main level is
acoustically very poor and increases the noise level.
The basement of the library is quiet for just the op-
posite reason. The numerous shelves of books, ceil-
ing tiles and carpet absorb the sounds of voices, he
said.
The central location of the library on campus con-
tributes to the reason students gather to study and
socialize, McGinty said.
Students meeting recently on the first floor of the library, the
loudest part of the library, according to students and staff.
John McGinty, library director, attributed the noise
in the library to the socially-active student body at
Marist as well as the architectural design of the
While there isn't a specific policy by which the
library is based upon, McGinty said he receives about
two or three complaints from students a semester
about the noise level.
The othe.r campus couples: When spouses work together
by
TERRY
GAVALETZ
Staff Writer
On a typical morning at the
Toscano home, Marianne and
Vm-
cent get up and get dressed for
work.
When they walk out the door,
this career couple doesn't
kiss
each
other goodbye and take off in
separate cars. Instead, they drive to
work together and are usually on-
ly a building or two away every
minute of the day. _
One of a several married couples
who work at Marist, the Toscanos
say they face different problems
than most dual-aireer couples.
Working at the same place as your
spouse can have its drawbacks, but
most campus couples say it's bet-
ter than being apart. The same
vacation time and dinner table con-
versation are generally regarded as
pluses, while potential conflicts of
interest and identical crunch
periods don't make it look so
appealing.
Best of all, they don't see each
other as much as one would
suspect.
Diane Platt, adjunct professor of
communication, says she doesn't
spend much time with her husband,
Richard Platt, associate professor
of communication, during the day.
That's positive. "We're not join-
ed at the hip," she says.
Irma Blanco Casey, assistant
professor of Spanish, says she and
her husband, Thomas Casey, who
is on sabbatical this semester, never
plan to see each other during the
day, but it is nice when it happens.
Cicely Perrotte, program assis-
tant coordinator of the Marist
Abroad Program, and her hus-
band, William, associate professor
of biology, usually plan to do lunch
\\ith a a group of their friends.
All of the couples agreed that
one of the advantages of workiniz
together is that vacation times are
the same.
"It's nice to be off at the same
time and to have the same time
schedules," said Andrew Molloy,
professor of chemistry, whose wife,
Rosemary, is the director of stu-
dent academic advising.
Mrs. Platt agreed, but also saw
a dark side to having the same
schedules.
Mrs. Platt said the stress times
are also the same which can lead to
some problems. When the work's
over though, they can both relax.
"\Vhen it's crazed, it's crazed,
but when it's done, we both are
free," she said.
And all the time, they have a
common conversation piece -
Marist.
"We have a common ground for
dinner talk. He knows the people
I am talking about, and there is a
real exchange of information,"
said Mrs. Toscano, coordinator of
math learning s1<ms.
But Mr. Toscano, associate pro-
fessor of history, says too much
talk about Marist can be a
hindrance.
"There is the terrible temptation
to continuously talk about work.
We sometimes have to make a pact,
'No Marist!,' " he said. "It's an
easy trap to fall into, one that we
try to avoid. You have to draw the
line, and make a resolution to talk
about the weather, the kids, bills,
pets, plants ... "
Mr. Platt said he and his \\ife do
talk about their students and about
Marist because they are interested
in what the other is doin2.
Mrs. Platt agreed, sa}ing there
was a shared frame of reference
and a ~eater
understanding
because they work together.
Mrs. Molloy said she and her
husband do talk about Marist in
general terms, and added that
working together at a college adds
to a feeling of community.
"It's different from working in
a corporation. We care about
Marist, and it's more than just a
job,'' said Mrs. Molloy.
For Douglas and Judith Brush,
teaching "Corporate Video," at
Marist is only pan of their job,
because they have their own com-
pany as well.
Mrs.
Brush says working
together that much is not a pro-
blem because they know how to not
carry their work around. "If we
fozht, it's for that moment, then ifs
\lone," she said.
- Mrs. Toscano

somewhat of an identity crisis when
she first came to Marist 10 years
ago.
She said she felt she ,,ras not

The gang was broken up even-
tually and Featherstone
was
captured.
"He was a complex character",
English said of Featherstone. "He
went through a process of redemp-
tion and has put a certain degree
of violence behind him."
In spite of his past violence
however,
English
described
Featherstone as very likeable and
at times somewhat of a charmer.
However both English and Egan
discussed how this type of charm
could quickly change.
"Your friend could quickly turn
into your worst enemy", Egan
said.
Breen, perhaps lightening the
discussion a bit, asked if the rumor
that Jimmy Coonan, leader of the
Westies, was involved in the death
of former Teamsters-union leader
Jimmy Hoffa. Hoffa, supposedly,
was murdered and his body buried
in the end zone at Giants Stadium.
English described this as a tall
tale, but said it was possible despite
the fact that the Westies usually
had specific areas where they would
get rid of their bodies.

Waitress tips for survival
Bouncing people, not checks
by
SHEILA MCLOUGHLIN
Staff Writer
Stephanie Winter wasn't part of
the menu.
•
But one of the waitress's
customers refused to order until she
told him she· wasn't wearing_ any
underwear.
"I told him, 'Well, I guess
you're not gonna eat,' " said
Winter, a senior who works at
Tony Roma's restaurant in West
Hartford, Conn., during school
breaks.
Like Winter, many student
waitresses say the worst part of
their job is often·dealing with the
customers.
Patricia Smith, who worked at
PiZU!_
.. Hut in Hyde Park last
semester, said one
of-the
most dif-
ficult things to deal with is people's
impatience.
"They swear I prepare the food
myself. All I do is take their order
and serve it," Smith said.
Other students agree the waiting
is the hardest part.
• Senior Ellen Ryan,
a
waittress at
52nd Street Cafe in the Poughkeep-
sie Galleria Mall, said she resents
customers' assumptions that she's
standing around doing nothing in-
stead of getting their meal.
"Food takes a long time and I
have nothing to do with it," she
said.
Smith said another pet peeve is
people who are not ready to order
but insist they are, keeping her
tliere until they finally make a
decision.
"It's like getting water out of a
stone," she said, referring to her
attempts to get them to order.
Some waitresses said customers
receive poor service in return.
"When people are obnoxi~us to
you, you don't care
if
they get good
service or not," said Amy McCane,
a waittress at the Radisson Hotel
in Poughkeepsie.
However, the most frustrating
aspect of serving the public, accor-
ding to these students, is bad tipp-
ing -
or none at all.
Smith said it's upsetting when
people don't leave her a tip,
"especially when they're nice,
because theri I take it personally.''
Ryan said she doesn't take it per-
sonally, but rather she wasted her
time.
"You're trying to be so nice to
these people and you really don't
care if they drop dead at your
table," she said.
If no tip is bad, a small one is
worse.
"I'd rather have nothing than be
insulted," Mccane said.
Despite the hassles, these
waitresses said they keep their jobs
because the money is good.
According to McCane, nightly
tips
can
range from
$40
to $125,
depending on the particular
establishment.
"The work is much too hard for
anyone to do it if there wasn't good
money involved," she said.

It's another Wednesday night at
Sidetracked, and on the stool posi-
tioned just inside the entrance sits
. Steve Batta who watches 10 or 12
customers quietly mingle around
the bar and watch attentively as the
t. v. broadcasts the results of some
of the evenings sporting events.
It's
10
p.m. and Batta knows the
quiet will not last long because
within an hour the bar
will
be pack-
ed with Marist students and he will
begin to do what he does every
Wednesday night -
make sure
people have legal identification.
"Sometimes
it's
hard
to
distinguish the real i.d. 's from the
fake ones, but if we doubt your
proof we'll stamp you for under
21," said Batta, a senior from West
Calwell, N.J.
Batta, a marketing major, is just
one of the several Marist students
who work as bartenders
or
bouncers in well known "student"
bars. For Batta and the others,
working in the bars allows them to
earn some money while maintain-
ing a social life.
John Dearden, a business major
and bartender at Noah's Arc, said:
"The best thing about about being
a bartender is that you are able to
fulfill two of the basic requirements
that come with being a college stu-
dent. You are working and
establishing a social life."
However, the nature of the work
Foreign student enrollment up
by
LAWRENCE DENEAUL T
Staff Writer
The number of foreign students
is on the rise at Marist, reflecting
the growing number of foreign
students enrolled in colleges and
universities-throughout the United
States.
At Marist, there are more
students from Asia. India and
Africa than there are from
Poughkeepsie, according to enroll-
ment records kept in the Office of
the Registrar.
According to a survey of 2,891
colleges nationwide, conducted by
the Institute of International
Education,
386,851
foreign
students were enrolled during the
1989-90 accdemic year.
That is an inaease of 5.6 percent
from the year before.
Most foreign students came from
Asia (208,110), India (26,240) and
Africa (24,570), according to the
poll.
Marist's foreign student enroll-
ment falls in the same order.
Of t.'te 39 foreign students enroll-
ed at Marist, 10 are from Asia, nine
are from India and six are from
Africa.
Six European,
two North
American, two Caribbean, two
Central American and two South
American
students also attend
Marist.
Donald Hester, director of
Graduate and Foreign Admissions,
said foreign students• attraction to
Marist
can
be attributed to the col-
lege's overseas recruitment.
Marist has participated in two
foreign recruiting tours in the past,
and Hester said he hoped there
would be a third this Spring, but
the war in the Persian Gulf caused
it to be canceled.
"Interest in getting an education
in the United States is enormous
overseas," he said. "Convention
halls that were rented for the
recruiting meetings were packed
well beyond anything you
see
in the
United States."
And once students decide to at-
tend school in the United States,
Hester said the college's affiliation
with IBM and it's location draw
students to Marist.
"They (the foreign students)
identify with IBM," he said.
"Marist College
is
not a known
name in other countries, but IBM
is."
can
mean some odd and long hours
for the students.
"Sometimes I won't get home
from work until 5 a.m., and if I
have an 8:15 class, I have no choice
but to accept it and hope that I'll
eventually be able to catch up on
the lost. slee~/ '::said Dearden.
The' job can also have other
drawbacks when the bartender or
bouncer finds himself having to
keep order in a place that can be
a far cry from Sunday School.
"Sometimes
I
won't get home from
work until
5
a.m., and
if I have an 8:15
class,
I
have no
choice but to accept it
and hope that
I'll
eventually be able to
catch up on the lost
sleep."
"On your average Wednesday
we usually have to break up a fight,
but on Fridays and Saturdays, it is
rare when we don't have to break
up two fights a night," said Batta.
The cause of the fights range
anywhere from turmoil between
boyfriends and girlfriends to
misinterpreted beer spillage, Batta
said.
Still, brawls usually only involve
two people, and the others continue
to have a good time, he said.
"We offer students a place to get
together and enjoy themselves
when they want to break aw:?;J
from campus and meet new people
or hang out with their friends,"
Batta said.
While many freshmen would
question,
from personal
ex-
perience, whether the 21-year-old
drinking age is enforced at some
bars, Batta and Deardon insist the
bars obey the laws.
"In October we began opening
the bar up to kids 18 and over, but
if you don't have valid identifica-
tion proving you are 21 and we
catch you drinking then we'll be
forced to throw you out," Batta
said.
And while Sidetracked caters to
a younger crowd, Deardon said
many local bars have a typical
clientele.
"Sidetracked is considered a
rugby/football bar, Skinner's is an
upperclassmen bar, Rennaisance is
a melting pot of people and Noah's
is a late-night spot that attracts the
type of people who want to be
social without having to face unru-
ly crowds," Dearden said.

There's no excuse
for saying no
to condoms anymore
The Gay Lesbian Bisexual Student
Association has raised an issue which has
been largely ignored for at least a year.
They are petitioning the college communi-
ty for the availability of condoms on
campus.
Administrators have said no to condoms
being available in dorm restrooms - or even
to being sold at the bookstore. Some have
said their presence would promote
promiscuity.
People like Gerard Cox, vice president for
Student Affairs; Peter Amato, associate dean
of Student Affairs; and Deborah Bell-
DiCaprio, assistant dean of Student Affairs,
should be more sensitive to this issue. They
are in charge of social concerns of the
students, and this is a major concern.
But considering the New York City Board
of Education has just given its high schools
the nation's first full condom distribution
program, the college administration cannot
deny Marist students the availability of con-
doms on campus any longer.
Condoms are
the
primary means of
prevention against AIDS and sexually-
transmitted diseases.
Adminstrators fear promiscuity, but they
need to face the facts.
The facts are:
Many
Marist
students
are
sexually-active.
-
One sexually-transmitted disease case
is identified by Health Services each week,
according to Jane O'Brien, director of
Health Services. She
also
said the number of
STD cases have increased steadily over the
last five years.
-
Statistically, Marist has seven AIDS
cases, according to the national average,
which says one out of every 500 college
students has
AIDS.
-
A recent study, published this past
Tuesday in USA Today, reported that
860:0
of all males and 7511/o
of all females have had
sexual intercourse by the time their 19.
-
Condoms help prevent STDs and
AIDS.
So why hasn't the coilege started a con-
dom distribution plan? Or, at least, allowed
the bookstore to sell them? Student Govern-
ment, along with other student organiza-
tions, have tried to get condoms on campus.
By denying students condom availability,
they are
increasing
the risks of
AIDS
and the
spreading of STDs -
the latter of which
steadily increases annually. There are no ifs,
ands or buts about it.
If New York City can give its high school
students condoms, then Marist has little
argument fqr not giving its college students
condoms.
'.
The Board of Education has acknowledg-
ed the fact that high school students are sex-
ually active, and they would rather give out
condoms than have to deal with a death from
AIDS. They are being honest with
themselves. They are being smart.
Yes, some
students
can buy condoms at
a local drug store. But not everyone has the
means to get there. That's punishing
sexually-active students without cars. When
administrators tell students to get condoms
off campus, they are sweeping the issue
under the rug.
And what about future incoming freshmen
from the New York City area? Are they go-
ing to be told they can't get condoms on
campus, after they have just come from a
high school that distributes them? Will they
have to sacrifice safe-sex to come to Marist?
At
most, the students are asking for con-
dom distribution. At least, they are asking
for them to be sold in the bookstore. And
at best, they are asking for condom vending
machines
in
the dorms.
At any rate, they are asking for something
that can no longer be denied.
It's time
to
stop hiding behind the Catholic
veil and realize that condoms will do
something positive, not something horrible.

Forget WPDH, K104, and CZX. From the
top
of Champagnat, to the bottom of the diaJ
it's New Rock 90-who? No, 88.1.
That's Marist College Radio's new slogan
- and it's bound to be heard by more peo-
ple than ever before after March 18.
In perhaps the most significant step in
years,
the
radio station
wiU be
broadcasting
over the
FM
airwaves, thanks to students and
staff who got pennission from the Federal
Communication Commission to broadcast
on 88. l FM at one-tenth of a watt.
Their efforts are going to pay off in a big
way.
Not only will the new system boost the au-
dience, but it will
a]so
give the hard-working
disc jockeys and staff of the station recogni-
tion for their work.
So when those DJs start turning records
in two
weeks,
it will be with the satisfaction
that they have a larger audience.
The college community will have a better
appreciation for the radio station, and
students won't have to bother with the an-
noyance of cable hook-ups.
It's a welcome change, long overdue.
Bush is riding high,
but there's still many
problems below hi!11,
We're number one! We're number one!
Have the whispers of discontent silenced
and the foreshadowings of doom crept
•
away? Do my eyes deceive me? Or has the
United States of America once again resum-
ed its role as superpower in what President
George Bush calls "the new world order."
It feels good, being number one again,
doesn't it?
Some doubted the United States' ability
to crusade for democracy in other parts of
the world, namely the Middle East.
These skepticists (and to be fair, I must
include myselfin this group) feared America
might be on its last legs as far as being a
global superpower, and the unpredictable
and potentially explosive situation in the
·
·
Middle.East might be a little bit more than
we could handle.
But let me be the first
to
admit I was
wrong.
We're number one.
Yeah, no more will this country have to
overrun insignificant Latino
_dictators
just to
reassure itself of its power.
Cause we're number one again.
And we're number one all by ourselves.
The Soviet Union, after first appearing
like it was headed towards joining the rest
of
the
civilized world, has now regressed.
back toward its more familiar position as the
the old Soviet Union. Some things never
change.
"A chicken in every pot, a tank in every
garage." That's. Gorby's new motto.
Personally, I think he's going to have trou-
ble keeping the chicken part.
Nobody in Europe seems to want to step
up into the role of a political force capable
of handling world affairs. And it's doubt-
ful, even with the coming together of the
European common market, that individual
.
countries in Europe will be able to set aside
differences that have characterized relation-
ships in the area for centuries.
Meanwhile Japan, who is able to buy and
sell the rest of us, does not have the
willpower to commit themselves to becom-
ing a world superpower.·
And for good reason.
Being a world superpower has its price and
that's something President Bush and his
foreign policy advisors have to remember.
Unfortunately, it seems, the price is go-
ing to be paid by Americans at home: col-
lege students who can't get a loan, single
mothers who can't find affordable housing,
future generations who

have to handle a devastated environment and
so on.
Bush did a fantastic job in handling Sad-
dam Hussein and his army of 15-year-old
wimps, but
the
domestic problems like the
budget deficit and the "War on Drugs" (oh
please) are fights that cannot be won with
B-52s, Stealth bombers and Patriot missiles.
Solving domestic problems requires leader-
ship, whereas solving foreign problems re-
quires strength.
There's a difference.
It seems very likely that Bush will be in the
Oval Office for the next five and one-half
years or so. This will be plenty of time to see
if he has the leadership required.
As I just mentioned, Bush seems to be a
lock in the 1992 election.
Barring a major recession or an incredi-
ble turn of events in either the Middle East
or the Soviet Union, there's no obstacle to
prevent a re-election.
.
Perhaps the only drama in the upcoming
Presidential Campaign (hey, the New Hamp-
shire primaries take place around this time
next year) will be who the democrats put up
as nominee.
However, sacrificial lamb, rather than
nominee, may be a more appropriate term
to describe whomever the democrats are
will-
ing to offer.
Early odds revolve around Senators Al
Gor~ (D-Tenn) and Sam Nunn (D-Ga.) to be
nonunated. Both of these politicians are
moderate to conservative on issues of defense
and . they're young enough to
survive
a
beatmg at the hands of the republicans.
Just getting the experience of running a
grueling campaign would benefit both men.
Interestingly enough, do you know what
politician currently has the largest coffer of
cash on hand? (Remember - no money no
election).

The answer is Mario Cuomo with a stash
of over
$3

Break. Then I can make another withdrawal
from my bank.
.
I've done it. With only one day left till a
week of sun, fun and Tequila in Cancun,
Me-he-co, I've managed to stretch
$8. 75
in-
to a week's worth of food and beer.
Saturday is my trip to the home office of
my bank.
Unlike most banks these days, my bank
is willing to give out loans at any time with
practically no unreasonable limit.
I don't need a card, no plastic card
anyway, or a even an account number. And
my bank doesn't charge me any interest.
I belong to the Savings Bank of Mom.
The only card I need is made by Hallmark.
It's quite ironic though, because Mom's pay-
ing for her own card. I just write on them
with the pens she bought.
The Savings Bank of Mom has no regular
hours, it's open all the time. And one rarely
makes
a
deposit into the SBM, just
withdrawals.
However, the SBM is just a subsidiary of
its parent company -
the Savings Bank of
Dad. Together they finance ... me.
I guess it's kind of like an investment.
.
They're probably hoping that eventually I'll
be filthy rich and I won't send them t~ the
home when they're 65 years old. Yeah right,
Ilse.
Until then, I'll continue to make
withdrawals from the Savings Banks of
Dad/Mom over the phone. And the service
is so friendly -
it's like they want to give
me money.

But having no money is all part of the col-
lege experience. It builds character. Anything
that's no fun builds character.
I turned $8.75 into cheap food and
cheaper beer and I didn't have to go into a
social coma. We all do it.
I just had to set priorities on what I would
spend my limited funds on.
Do I still go bar hopping every night of
the week, or do I just go when the beer pit-
chers are $3? Do I spend money in the Dyson
cafe or do I go home and make my own grill-
ed cheese sandwich? Or do I just not eat?
When my cash flow was trickling, I started
·
to rationalize things in a new way.
"I
won't put gas in my car this week," I
said. "That way I can have money to go out,
and I won't be able to drive drunk!"
At one point I got really desperate.
I grabbed a soup can out of the garbage
and my harmonica and went to make some
money. I sat in the Champagnat breezeway
with my soup can by my side and played the
blues.
Of course, I don't really know how to play
the harmonica, but I blew into it anyway.
After about 10 minutes, a group of guys
came out, picked me up and dropped me on
my head. They told me to shut up.
Then one of them recognized me as, "that
guy in that paper with the thing about the
shower." I thought they would apologize
and tell me what a swell guy
I
was.
But they picked me up and dropped me
on my head again.
It was then I realized it was rather silly beg-
ging money from people who probably don't
have any money either. So I moved on to the
faculty dining room.
Using the same rationale, I moved again
to the entrance of Dyson to beg from tour
groups that were passing by. Then I thought
of the Governor's proposed cuts in student
aid.
I was beyond desperate, now. I think it
was at that point when: I hit lunacy.
I called home and told my parents that I
had been abducted by three girls in Donnel-
ly Hall and they were holding me for ransom.
My Mom called me an idiot and hung up.
Two minutes later my Dad called and said
he wanted to insult me, too. He called me
a weenie and then he hung up.
If
my dog
were around, I'm sure he would have peed
on my leg.
But as I said before, I did manage to sur-
vive. Somewhere along the line, we give it
that ol' college try and cut corners in our
meals and borrow money from who ever has
it in order to make ends meet.
Tune in next time when I turn $200 into
about 20,000 pesos and wreak havoc in yet
another foreign country.

Jenn Johannessen writes from
Maynooth, Ireland, where she is
studying at St. Patrick's College
for her junior year.
by
JENN JOHANNESSEN
The image most dear to tourists
in Ireland is that of happy peasants
living in thatched cottages from •
which they sally forth and again to
dig in patchwork fields or fish from
rocks.
Finding such images of the tradi-
tional green bucolic landscape of
Ireland might prove difficult to
••
some diehard tourists.
In a recent trip to Western
Ireland, I found what these tourists
long for and after reading this may
want to reconsider finding such
places.
Packed into a Volkswagen with
five Germans at
l l
p.m. on a
Saturday night, we were headed
toward a so-called "big and wild"
party thrown by some friends near
Moycullen, Connemara.
After following the paved road
that connects Galway City to
Clifden for ten minutes, the driver
took a left and the car began to
wind up a dark, bumpy, pothole in-
fested dirt road. At times the
potholes got so bad that half the
people in the car had to get out so
the driver could drive over the
worst parts so as not to ruin his
shocks.
About two miles further, we ar-
rived at our destination,
an
"authentic" Irish cottage.
Now let me further define
authentic. To explain this term you
should be able to answer one ques-
tion. Remember "Little House on
the Prairie"?
Got it?
Now the adventure begins.
When I walked into this cottage,
I immediately noticed a washing
line heavily laden with clothes
draped across a large fireplace with
a smaJI coal fire in its hearth. There
were over half a dozen people sur-
rounding it, listening to some guy
singing and playing a guitar.
l
was with about ten Germans
(we took two cars), who were as
shocked as I was, not only at the
state of the house, but that this was
the so-called "big and wild" party
we were told about.
I asked one of the girls who liv-
ed in the house where the bathroom
was located. She promptly pointed
to the front door of the cottage in-
dicating the men's room, and then
to the back door indicating the
women's room.
She then opened the back door
and a cold rush of air hit me square
in the face. Handing me a small·
shovel just outside the door, she
pointed out into the cold night
which was nearly two degrees
below
celsius
(28
degrees
Fahrenheit).
This was to be one of several
things that stood out during my
14-hour stay in that "authentic"
Irish cottage, miles away from any
real modern technological civiliza-
tion, and exactly JO kilometers
(6.21 miles) from the nearest store.
This three-room cottage had no
phone, no central heating, no hot
water, and the only way you could
get water was from a spigot outside
the cottage -
and even the
pureness
of that water was
questionable.
But i.t di.d have one modern con-
venience: electricity, for the one
light in the center of the room.
Needless
to
say, I never took
my
coat off; neither did anyone else.
The
house on "Little House on the
Prairie" looked like a palace next
to this place.
The top floor of the cottage was
closed off because of the infesta-
tion of rats in that particular area.
The doors did not shut properly,
there were holes and cracks in the

was that the two girls who lived
here were not Irish, but German.
The majority of the people there
this night were Germans, and they
spoke their native language
regardless of the two non-Germans
in the house, myself and an
Irishman.

expected to be singing
the German national anthem
before the end of my stay.

and I thankfully departed from the
cottage with frozen toes and an
enormous educational experience.
We also managed to take note of
a few property cows grazing the
lush green countryside along with
some sheep wandering the hills as
we were leaving.
All and all, it had to be one of
the most "unusual" weekends we
ever had, and

This year's River Festival,
formerly River Day, is scheduled
for April 19, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
at an undermined site, said Steve
Sansola, assistant dean for Student
Affairs.
However, River Festival will be
different from last year's event in
more ways than a simple name
change.
There will also be organized
events including volleyball, foot-
ball, a Tug-O-War and the game
Dizzy Izzy, according to Scott Da-
ly, senior class vice president.
River Festival, which is sanction-
ed by the college, allows students
at least 21 years old, faculty. and
staff to eat, drink and be merry in
the confines of the campus.
Student,; will be reQuired to show
a driver's license and a validated
Marist 1.0. to enter the event, Da-
ly said.
Ticket prices have not been
determined, but the cost of tickets
bought in advance will be less than
those purchased April 19.
Daly said senior class officers
and Sansola have been working
together to ensure a safer, easier
and cleaner day.
He said tables and temporary
fences may be set up to keep lines
more structured and organized.
The festival will feature live
music provided by Marist bands, as
well as a possible professional
band. And a disc jockey will play
music during the intermissions, Da-
ly said.
Due to the time of the festival,
Daly said teachers will decide
whether or not to dismiss classes
early.

Back again: Recent grads find jobs at Marist
by
MARJI FENROW
Staff
Writer
For Gary Smith, four years at
Marist just wasn't enough.
After graduating in May 1987,
Smith decided to stay longer - but
not as a student. Instead, he took
a job as director of Marist's annual
fund.
"I've had four years of practical
education. Now I'm in the hands-
on stage," said Smith, 25, who has
been living in Poughkeepsie since
graduation.
•
Many students, like Smith, have
decided to put their education to
good use, beginning their careers
on the same campus where they
received their diplomas. They say
the transition from student to ad-
ministrator hasn't been difficult; in
fact, they're right at home in front
of the desks that they once had
spent countless hours behind.
For Sean Kaylor, assistant direc-
tor of admissions, the change from
student to administrator is begin-
ning to wear off.
"I've gotten used to it now,"
said Kaylor, who received a
bachelor's degree in business/per-
sonnel last
May.
When Kaylor started his job two
months later, staff members still
thought he was a student.
Besides his duties at the Office
of Admissions, Kaylor also coaches
the women's crew, along with
Marist alumni Sara Brown and
Rob Casey.
.
This is nothing new for Kaylor,
who was a four-year member of
crew while he was a Marist student.
Although he is enjoying his new
roles as administrator and coach,
he is considering becoming a stu-
dent again -
at least part time.
Kaylor said he might try to get
a master's degree in public ad-
ministration, since he is eligible to
receive free graduate courses from
the college.
For Margo Clark, who received
her master's degree in public ad-
ministration from Marist last May,
the change in roles wasn't difficult.
Clark, assistant director of
financial aid, said as a graduate
student she had already worked
with and taken classes with her col-
leagues. But, she does admit it
wasn't easy at first to tell people
older than her what to do.
The switch from student to ad-
ministrator would have been dif-
ferent if she had been an
undergraduate, said Clark, 25, who
received her bachelor's degree in
psychology
from
Fordham
University.
She was definitely no stranger to
the Financial Aicl Office when she
started her job in July 1989.
While a student at Marist, she
became a graduate assistant in the
spring 1988, and became a finan-
cial aid counselor in July of that
year.

cial Aid

became a part-time student until
she accepted her current position in
July 1989.
"I just picked it up quickly. and
.
they asked me to stay," said Clark.
Clark said her job has helped her
get a head start on her career.
Gary Smith said he feels the
same way about his position with
the annual fund.
"I
feel like it's an extension of
my education," he sitjd .• "It's a

chance to grow in the safety and
confines of Marist College."

He said he felt qualified ~or tht"
job that he considers a marketing
position.
Smith felt he knew the campus
enough to "sell" it, since his ties
to the college were formed before
he was even born.
Smith's father graduated from
Marist in 1963, his mother works
for the Office of Safety and Securi-
ty, and his sister, Jennifer, is a
sophomore.
Even though he hasn't been a
student for almost four years,
Smith said it took a lot of time to

administrator.
But, he said he is enjoying his
role reversal.

While most professors will be
teaching what they know next year
on campus, some Marist faculty
will be exploring something new off
campus.
Starting next fall, eight
.
pro-
fessors are leaving on sabbatical for
at least half the 1991-92 academic
year.
Sabbatical is a temporary leave
from teaching duties, approved by
the Board of Trustees, in which
teachers further their research on
a topic of interest. Sabbaticals are
granted for semester and full-year
leaves, and professors are eligible
every seven years.
Professors must prepare their
research and apply for sabbatical
a year before they plan to leave.

Recalling the· experience of a semester at sea

Staff Writer
She suffered with tiny bunks, no
showers, no lights, no electricity
and clogged toilets which forced
her and her shipmates to go to the
bathroom in a bucket.
But it was paradise for Jen
Kaye, a junior communication arts
major from Wallingford, Conn.
And for nine weeks last spring
semester, it was school.
Despite living conditions that
would make some of the heartiest
sailors -
not to mention many
Marist students -
cringe, Kaye
said she loved the "seamester" she
spent abroad as part of a program
accredited through Southhampton
College of Long Island University.
In fact, she called this experience
on the high seas "the best thing I'd
•
ever done in my life."

In addition to outdoor lectures
like the one in her "History and
Literature of the Sea" course, all
classes required field trips.
Snorkeling and scuba diving
saw the spot where Christopher
Columbus landed, as well as his
home, church and tomb.
"It's hard not to like history
when you're reliving it," Kaye said.
"Its one time you can't ignore
history and not be affected by it."

Kaye said classes weren't easy,

In addition to class and field
trips, the students had respon-
sibilities living on the ship.
Ship watch, where a crew of
eight would either sail or guard the
vessel during four-hour blocks,
came up every eight hours, day and
night.
The Galley slave's job, a day-
long ship duty required twice dur-
ing the trip, involved cooking and
cleaning the kitchen.
Both jobs cut into sleep and
study time, Kaye said.
"There are so many things pull-
ing in so many directions," Kaye
said. "You really had to budget
your time."
And a trip wouldn't be complete

"Raffles," a popular nightclub
in Santo Domingo, was "a wanna-
be American club," Kaye said, as
it sported native artist's drawings
of American stars, including Ar-
nold Schwarzenegger, Jim Mor-
rison and Elvis.
Among some of the difficulties
she took in good stride included the
poor living conditions.
The ship contained two students
quarters, each with their own toilet,
with one, in particular, always get-
ting stopped up.
"You can only use it if you pay
us,"
Kaye and her fellow
bunkmates
told
the
other
bathroom occupants.
When the second broke, Kaye
said everyone was forced to use a
bucket and dump the remains over
the side.
Twenty-one students, two pro-
fessors, four crew members and a
captain lived and studied aboard

Advertising· concentratio•n seeks
academic committee approval
by
TRICIA RIZZUTO
Staff Writer
The communication arts department
will
offer a new
concentration in advertising next fall if the Academic
Affai~s Committee approves the faculty proposal, ac-
cording to Jeptha Lanning, chairperson of the Divi-
sion of Arts and Letters.
On Feb.
io,
1991, the Division of Arts and Letters
voted in favor of adopting Ille proposal generated by
advertisting professors Albert Stridsberg and Mary
Louise Bopp. The proposal passed by an 18-1 vote
with four abstentions, but now awaits final approval
•
by the AAC.
In the early 1980s, a proposal was made to have
advertising become a new major at Marist, but the pro-
posal was denied and advertising was accepted as a
minor instead.
This year some communications faculty decided a
concentration in advertising would be a benefit to
students, according to Lanning.
Richard Platt, communication arts coordinator, and
Stridsberg both said they agreed with Lanning, but
declined to comment any further.
•
Platt is now responsible for presenting the proposal
to the Academic Affairs Committee.
While Stridsberg and Bopp teach advertising courses
along with Anne Marie Brooks, more professors
would teach advertising courses if the concentration
gets a large response, Lanning said.
Students currently enrolled in the adverstising minor
will not be able to declare an advertising concentra-
tion if it is accepted this fall, according to Lanning.
Lanning said incoming first year students will be
able to choose advertising as a concentration, but other
students will have to be judged on a case-by-case basis
depending on courses they have already taken in
advertising.
•
Lanning said the new concentration could be a good
recruitment tool, just like the communications depart-
ment has become for Marist.
Richard Atkins, chairperson of the Division of
Humanities, s;µd advertising courses are not listed as
liberal arts courses, and that will not change if the con-
centration comes into effect.
Atkins said he doubts that wm change because it
is not something that the school can change on its own.
There are state regulations that must be followed con-
cerning· liberal arts.
When the advertising program was started at Marist,
it was funded by a Title III grant which is federal fun-
ding, said Lanning.
Since advertising will just become another concen-
tration, and not a new major, the entire faculty will
not have to review the proposal, said Atkins.
"In theory the faculty could ask to review it, but
that's what the Academic Affairs Committee is for,"
said
Atkins.
Kristen Dominger, a sophomore from Minneola,
N.Y.,
said she thinks it's wrong for the faculty not
to reco~nize advertsing as a major.
"I think that
it
should be a major because other
schools have it and that's who we'll be competing with
when we get out of here," said Dominger.
Dominger is one of the students who is trying to
start an Advertising Club on campus.

Kaye said the students were
touched by the gesture, and they
enlisted a fellow student to
translate their gratitude.
Unfortunately, his translation
wasn't quite accurate.
"We wanted to say, 'We want to
wash the dishes'," Kaye said. "In-
stead he said, 'We want to wash
your ducks'."
To make matters worse, Kaye
said the group later found out that
.offering to help with dishes meant
you didn't like the meal.
Other parts of this society made
the students feel right at home,
Kaye said.

Campus soap talk:
looking for fun, fantasy
by
SHEILA MCLOUGHLIN
Staff Writer
"Can you believe how Robert treated Anna on Friday?"
"Well, she deserved it after what she did to him on Thursday."
This conversation isn't the common Monday-morning gossip after a
weekend of social gatherings. Instead, it's soap talk - fans of the daytime
dramas, in this case "General Hospical," (GH) are discussing the latest
escapades of their favorite characters.
Whether the soap of choice is "GH," "As the World Turns" or even
the nighttime "Knots Landing," most Marist students questioned this
week said although soap operas can be a form of escape, most are just
.
plain fun.
Sarah Taney, a 21-year-old junior, said when she watches soap operas
she can put her own life in better perspective.
"You get to watch people with worse problems than your own,'' she
said.
When Taney was a child, her mother hooked her on the soap and she
continues to watch them today because of their variety.
"You get a little bit of everything -
comedy, tragedy, grandiose
events,'' Taney, a Greenwich, Conn., resident said.
Patricia Biondi, a 21-year-old senior from Meriden, Conn., said such
variety is what makes soaps different from anything else on television.
Biondi, referring to soap operas' knack for bizarre plot twists, said,
"Imagine the most unrealistic scenario, and it will probably become a
reality -
so to speak."
Although everyone knows that soap opera characters and plots are
not real, some students said they enjoy escaping to that world, just for
a little while.
Lauren Barnello, a 21-year-old senior from Syracuse,
N.Y.,
said:
"When you get hooked, it's like you become involved. You want to
give
them (characters) advice
...
The characters become a part of your life,
almost like friends."
Barnello is riot alone.
Darcy Woods, a 21-year-old senior from Tolland, Conn., said that
is part of the appeal of the shows.
"Some of the characters are characters I've got within myself.·•

said.
D:!wn Yannaco, a 21-year-old senior from Staten Island, N. Y

the

of the world portrayed on the screen is what

"Their lifestyles arc attractive. The characters arc very attra..:tive."
she said.

Orum;
show to air Saturday
by
PETER O'KEEFE
Staff Writer
"I
couldn't believe it when
I
heard the news; it was the greatest
news I have ever heard," Lucille
Thltchener told an audience of her
reaction upon hearing the president
had declared an end to the Persian
Gulf War.
Thitchener, whose son is in the
Marines and serving in the Middle
East, was one of six panelists in-
vited by Marist College, in
cooperation with WTZA-TV, to
participate in a discussion of the
Persian Gulf War.
Entitled "Homefront: Hudson
Valley," the forum, held last
Thursday, focused specifically on
the impact of the war on local
citizens.
Even though at the time of the
show the war was coming to an
•
end, many still felt obliged to
discuss it.
"Vietnam has been over for
twenty years and people are still
talking about it," said Ed McCann,
the show's producer.
"There are still many issues that
will
have to be addressed," he said.
The show was taped in the
cam-
pus theater in front of an audience
of about 70 people. WTZA-TV
will
broadcast the show this Saturday
evening, March 9, at 7 p.m.
The program began with a video
clip on how Hudson Valley
residents assisted the war effort.
During the Persian Gulf War, C-5
cargo planes were flying around-
the-clock-missions from Stuart Air-
port in Newburgh.
Comments from the panel
followed the video.

mander of N.Y. Air National

sponsored by Congressman Henry
Gonzolez.
The resolution holds President
Bush fully responsible for all war
crimes and makes a motion for his
impeachment.
Barbara Scott, professor of
sociology at SUNY New Paltz, said
she is against the way our govern-
ment has concealed so much from
the people during this crisis.
Although she said she opposes the
war, she still considers herself
patriotic and defines her patriotism
as the "love of the ideals this coun-
try was founded on."
All of the panelists agreed this
war was brought to the American
people through television, like no
other war in history.
Richmond Egan, assistant pro-
fessor of communication, said he
believed that with the allied
withdrawal, the media would just
create another television event to
captivate the public's attention.

Super Bowl chatnps
dribble for dollars
by
JOHN DEARDEN
Staff Writer
It will be a tip-off, not kick-
off, as member of the 1991
Super Bowl Champion New
York Giants hit the hard wood
at the James J. McCann Recrea-
tion Center on March 23.
The Giants will be playing a
benefit game against a group of
local hoopsters known as the
Rehab All-Stars.
The Giants will bring between
six and eight members to the
McCann Center for their ver-
sion of showtime, said Todd
Wasserman, a representative
from Pros to Go, the firm that
represents the Giants for events
similar to this.
The event will benefit
Rehabilitation Programs Inc. a
group that serves the disabled of
Dutchess County. According to
Peggen Wall, director
of
development, the goal of the
event is to raise $15,000.
Fans attending tfie game can
expect to see a fun, up-tempo
game that includes the infamous
"football play," a page out of
the Harlem Globetrotters play
book, said Wasserman. "Don't
expect to see a lot of defense."
The Rehab All-Stars are com-
prised of staff and famify from

Crew starts
new tradition
by
L YNAIRE BRUST
There is a new tradition at Marist
and members of the men's novice
crew had better keep one eye over
their shoulders and one eye on their
hair.
•
At some point before the varsi-
ty teams leave for spring training
in West Virginia, the men's team
will shave the heads of members of
.
the novice team.
"It
hasn't really been decided on
yet," said Michael Longo, a senior
.from
Middletown,
Conn.
"Besides, ifwe are, we don't want
you to print it."
The varisty men's team,
"who
with the women•s team are the on-
ly Marist teams going away for
spring training, have a history of
initiation
rites for the team
members.
The first time that heads were
shaved, two spring breaks ago, the
only people to fall under the elec-
tric razor were first-year varsity
men.
Scott McWilliams, a senior from
Ellington, Conn., rememt:lers his
sophomore spring break well.
"The year we went to Virginia,
the seniors decided that your first
year on varsity you should get your
head shaved," he said. "So they
came in and I ran, but they caught
me. They dragged me back into the
bunk house, told me to
·sit
down
and then cut my hair."
"They were pretty nice to me,"
said McWilliams. "I had some hair
left -
about an inch."
The new initiation process was
designed to get everyone involved.
"It was to initiate everyone who
hadn't already been initiated," said
Steve Somma, a junior from
Garden City, N.Y.

Volleyball_

Staff Writer • • • •
The men's volleyball clµb fell
into a slump last week by drop-
ping two matches to Baruch
College and to Siena College.
Marist now has an overall
record of 6-14 while posting a
3-2 mark in Iroquois Collegiate
Volleyball Association play.
Sunday, the Red Foxes lost a
hard
.
fought . battle to Siena,
4-15, 15-4, 15-8, 10-15, 15-5.
Player-coach Tom Hanna led
the Red Foxes with 11
kills
while
dishing out 12 assists. Terry
Hosmer, a senior, handed out
17 assists while setting a club
record with seven service aces.
Siena closed out the match
with five straight aces, said
Hanna. "The guys did a nice
job of passing the ball," he
said. "We held our own until
the l~t five points of the
match."
Last Wednesday,
·Marist
dropped a 3-1 decision to
• Baruch, 4-15, 15-10, 15-12,
15-10.
Hanna slammed down 17
kills
and added three blocks to
lead the Marist attack. Senior
Anthony Azzara chipped in
with 33 assists. Pat Brundage,.
a senior, pitched in with 11 kills
and three blocks to balance the
attack.
Hanna said that the team did
. not have the consistency they
needed down the stretch.
It was an even match between
two fairly balanced teams,"
Hanna said. "Game two was
the turning point of the match,
that shifted the momentum in
their favor."
The Red Foxes played at RPI
on Tuesday night. Results were
not available at press time.

Season's over

•
Sports· Editor
'
As the rest. of. the NCAA gets
.
, ready:for March Madness, the Red .
Foxes
will
only
be
able to watch the
tournament,. on television.
After starting off the season with
12 straight losses, Marist finished
the season with
an
overall mark of
6-22 before bowing out of the Nor-
theast Conference tournament with
a loss to Monmouth.
As Marist students take exams
and wait for their midterm grades,
it's time for the Red Foxes to
•
receive their final report card:
COACHING-B
Not all the blame for the 6-22
record
can
be put on Dave Magari-
ty' s shoulders. Although many
thought this team would be better
than last year's club, Magarity had
seven newcomers on the squad and
the chemistry was slow in develop-
ing. For Magarity, it was a year of
broken ladders, kidney stones and
missed free throws.. The ad-
ministration was obviously not too
worried with the team's perfor-
mance because Magarity was given
a new three-year contract in the
middle of the season.
FRED INGLES -
A
• A transfer from Allegheny Com-
munity College, Ingles stepped up
and was able to produce right
away. The leading scorer and re-
bounder for the Red Foxes, Ingles
tallied 18 points and seven re-
bounds per game. Named to the
Northeast Conference all-second
team, Ingles reached double figures
in all but one game. He also eclips-
ed the 30 point barrier four times.
He was the main inside force for
the Red Foxes and established
himself as one of the premier post
players in the Northeast Con-
STEVE PATERNO - A-
Although it didn't appear as
though he had a productive year,
Paterno quietly put up solid
numbers for the second straight
year. Averaging 13 points per
game, the senior reached double
digits 22 times and scored a season-
high 25 points. Paterno started all
28 games for the third straight year
and led the team in minutes with
997. He also led the team in blocks
with 21 and tied for steals with 38.
One of the team's top defenders,
he grabbed four rebounds per .
game. Paterno will be sorely miss-
ed next year.
ANDY LAKE -
B-
Although he started five games
early in the season, Lake was the
main point producer off the bench
for the Red Foxes. Averaging eight
points per game, the red-shin
sophomore suffered an ankle in-
jury that kept him out of three
games in mid-season. Scored a
career-high 23 points early in the
year. Started the season as point
guard but with the. emergence .of
Dexter Dunbar, Lake will be able
to settle back into his natural
shooting guard spot next season.
One of the best athletes on the
team, Lake was second on the team
with assists.
.
IZETI' BUCHANAN -
C
Only a freshman, Buchanan
showed signs of promise early in
the season by averaging 17 points
a game for the first five contests,
including a 26 point performance
against Brown. Yet, he finished the
season averaging seven points and
two rebounds per game. Freshman
mistakes were evident and shot
selection was a bit questionable as
he only connected on 37 percent
from the field. Should be a key
contributer in the future but needs
to have better shot selection.

season progressed. Established
himself as a solid point guard that
will continue to improve over the
next three years. Averaged five
points per game and tied for the
team lead with 38 steals. Should
combine with Lake to form the
backcourt of the future. Showed
ability to take the ball inside as well
as run the offense and distribute
assists.

three points and three rebounds per
game. A solid player and leader,
Siegrist will be missed.
BOBBY REASBECK - B
The crowd favorite at McCann
for the last two years, Reasbeck
found himself in a starting role
five times. Established a career-
high 19 points in his final game
against Long Island. Continued to
be one of the hardest workers on
the team. Scored three points per
game. His hustle and enthusiasm

Missed 10 games with an injured

New coaches announced
by
BRETT RIOLO
Staff Writer
Five new head coaches have been
named to.take over three.new and
two existing positions, t!J.eDepart-
ment of Athletics has announced.
Pete Colaizzo, Phil Kelly, Art
Smith, Tom Chiavelli and Tom
Diehl have been selected
as
head
coaches and will begin their reign
immediately.
,
Colaizzo, a 1986 graduate of
Marist, has been named
'Head
Coach of men's and women's in-
door and outdoor track and field.
"After, running for
four
years,
I'm looking forwardto building up
the program," said Colaizzo. "Our
goal is to concetrate on building a
solid cross country and middle
distance group."
,
Cross country is where Kelly
comes in. The assistant women's
coach last season, he has been nam-
ed head' coach for the upcoming
year.
"The main thing that Pete and
Phil will bring is consistency," said
Kim Morison, assistant to the
-
athletic director. "That
is
what the
track program needs."
"As
far as cross country is con-
cerned,
I
think we
will
be
very com-
petitive this fall," said Kelly. "We
have four or five guys and four or
five girls who are competitive and
hopefully we can pick up a few
freshmen who can contribute.
The track and field program will
begin in the fall semester and will
compete at the Division I level in
the Northeast Conference.

College hoop prepares for March Madness
It's here.
,
Sunday, college basketball fans
all over the country will be glued
to the television:
when the National
Collegiate Athletic Association an-
nounces the 63 teams that will try
to
stop UNL V from defending
its
national championship -
slim
chance.
The feeling is known as March
,Madness.
You
can
thank CBS for dream-
ing up that catchy phrase, which
really does say it all.
(YOU
can also thank CBS for
buying the rights of the opening-
round games away from ESPN,
but I won't get into that. Despite
taking away the 12 hour days of
hoop watching, you can still thank
CBS for taking Dick Vitale off
your set.)
March Madness almost makes it
seem like the last five months were
worthless.
On Oct. 15, when colleges
started practice - ironically, with
Midnight Madness -'"'.' Division I
teams
across the country have been
waiting for this moment. The
momentum has been building.
Conference play is
a
warmup for
the NCAA tournament. Nothing
compares to
the
"Road to the Fmal
Four." The Super Bowl comes
close, but when it comes to excite-
ment and upsets, the NCAA has
dibs on the most exciting way of
det~ining
a
champion.
For some, there is no doubt their
season will continue. The
UNL
Vs,
Arizcnas, Dukes and Syracuses
don't really have to worry about
making the tournament. They have
been the top teams all season long
and will continue to dazzle op-
ponents when the tournament
starts
one week from today.
For others, like Brigham Young,
Georgja Tech, Southern California
and Alabama, the feeling isn't as
positive.
These arc the teams "on

the bubble." The teams which have
had solid years but just might not
be good enough to make the final
cut.
There will also be those teams
who complain they were robbed
when the selection committee
makes its announcement on Sun-
day. The teams most likely to moan
are usually second-place teams in
weaker conferences.
TaJce Temple for example. The
Owls finished the season with a
20-8 m;ord, good enough fo~ se-
cond place in the Atlantic 10 Con-
ference. They
will
complain that
since they won 20 games, they are
deserving of a berth over a team
like Georgetown. who will make
_t~e
field with 16 wins. Ho~ever,
the Big East is
a
bit stronger than
the Atlantic 10.
Other teams accustomed to the
tournament -
like Louisville,
Loyola Marymount and Michigan
-:--have bad disappointing seasons
,
and will have to sit home and watch
with the rest of us.
fhen there are the teams who
will bow out a bit too early. North
Carolina, Nebraska and Connec-
ticut will all make an early exit
despite their records and post-
season reputations.
There are always surprises in the
tournament. It is all pan of the
Madness. Look for Texas, Pitt-
sburgh and Princeton to cause ma-
jor problems for the opposition
and possibly reach the round of
eight.
If the number one seeds hold
true to form, look for UNL V to
stay home in the
West,
Syracuse
will be the host in the East, Arkan-
sas will be the top seed in the
Midwest and Ohio State will hold
the number one spot in the
Southeast region.
Without knowing the placement
of teams in each region, I will go
out on a limb and list my Final
Four before the committee 01akes
its announcement on Sunday.
Three teams with a definite chance
to be around at the end are UNL V.
Ohio
State
and Duke.
My
darkhorse is Texas.
No matter who is in
what
region,
the eventual champion will be
lJNL V - some surprise. The Run-
nin' Rebels are too good for any of
the other 63 teams in the field.
Defense, outside shooting, strong
post play and good coaching all
~pped
into one - that spells na-
tional
championship.
