Marist - Vassar
teacher program
phasing out
by
KAREN CICERO
Senior Editor·
Marist and Vassar College ad-
ministrators are phasing out their
cooperative teacher education pro-
gram, prompting Marist - with an
all-time high
-
number of students
studying education -
to expand
the teaching curriculum
on-
campus, said Marc vanderheyden,
vice president for academic affairs.
About 23 juniors, already taking
Vassar courses, will complete the
program next year, but the more
than 100 freshmen and sophomores
in the program will have all their
education classes at Marist.
Marist is in the process of screen-
ing applicants to teach the classes
that were offered at Vassar, said
Brother James Kearney, director of
the t.:acher education program.
The full-time professor position,
which was advertised in the New
York Times and the Chronicle of
Higher Education, will begin this
fall, Kearney said. ln addition, he
said Marist may have to hire
another professor next year.
.
When Marist began its program
•
with Vassar in January 1985, there
was an equal number of Marist and
Vassar students, Kearney said, but
now Marist enrollment has tripled,
and is still growing.
"Roots,"
his second book,
became the. biggest best-seller in
U.S. publishing history, selling
about six million copies. It is now
published in about 30 different
languages.
.
.
..
The novel was written· after·
researching his maternal ancestors
for· 12 years. Haley was able to
trace back about 200 years and six
generations to Kunta Kinte, who
was kidnapped in 1767 and brought
to the United States as a slave.
The move came in response to
Vassar's demands that Marist limit
the number of its students in the

Most students in the program
take four or five education classes
at Vassar during their junior year
and an additional class senior year

Students and administrators
agreed phasing out the program
with Vassar will be a loss, but said
they are confident that Marist can
sufficiently
expand
its own
program.
In 1977, the novel was filmed in-
to a 12-hour television mini-series,
which in its seven-night run drew
about 130. million viewers.
His
first
book,
"The
Autobiography of Malcolm X,"
written with the controversial
leader, was published in 1965 and
•
selected among "The Ten Best
American Books of the 1960s
Decade."
Born on Aug. 11, 1921, in Ithaca
N;Y.,
Haley graduated from high
school at the age of 15 and attend-
ed college for two years. He then
enlisted in the United States Coast
Guard as a messboy. His writing
career began when he wrote love
. letters for his fellow shipmates,
Hanley said.
Haley was named Chief Jour-
nalist for the Coast Guard in 1952.
He retired in 1959, after 20 years
of service and became a full-time
freelance magazine writer.
Haley now lives between his
120-acre farm in Knoxville, Tenn.,
and his townhouse in Los Angeles.
But because of the heavy demand
for his lecturing appearances,
Haley
travels
extensively
throughout the country.
"Alex is open and enthusiastic
about lecturing at Marist," Hanley
said. «Most of all he likes to go to
the universities and colleges and
spend ti~e with the students."
"He's really the great American
story," Hanley said.

Student guinea pigs get answering service
by
AMY ANSON
Staff Writer
When Eileen Kearney, a 21-year-
~ld business/m~rketing
major,
signed up for Lmda Dickerson's
organizational
communications
class, she got more than the usual
reading list and textbooks -
she
got an answering service.
Dickerson's
class has been
chosen to test PhoneMail, a com-
puterized
voice message and
storage system that allows the user
to create and distribute messages to
other users, said Tim Lawton, a
telecommunications analyst at the
computer center.
The system is part of the
SIO
million Marist-lBM Joint Study.
Each
week.
Dickerson's
students, who have their phones
programmed into the PhoneMail
system and passwords to gain ac-
cess into the S}-stem, fill
out
a
PhoneMail weekly usage sheet to
record the amount of messages
they receive. The students also
make comments and ask questions
about the system.
The purpose of this survey, said
Lawton, is to see how students will
react to the new system when it is
installed on campus next year.
While the survey was not a ma-
jor focus of the class, said Dicker-
son, an adjunct instructor of com-
munications, it prO'l,ided a case
study in organizational behavior.
Dickerson said she thought the
survey showed "a mix of students
embracing
and
adopting"
PhoneMail.
The survey, she said, would
show the strengths and weaknesses
of PhoneMail.
PhoneMail's 24-hour access. the
capacity for teachers to create and
distribute messages to students by
phone and messages that can never
be erased are some of its benel1ts,
said Dickerson.
However, Dickerson, said her
students' interest in PhoneMail has
decreased since the survey began.
The decrease was reflected in the
surveys. Students were recording
11-13 messages during the first
week. Now, six weeks later, many
students have no messages.
In the beginning,
students
regarded it as a novelty and were
interested in it, she said.
But now. she said, they have
reverted back to their traditional
answering machines.
Paul Nanos, 22. of Stamford,
Conn.,
said that he believed
PhoncMail was unnecessary.
"Most people have personal
ans,,,cring machines. so PhoncMail
is a waste of money.'' said the com-
munications major.
"Answering machines are a lot
easier," he said. "You
,;re
the light
blinking on the machine and you
know you have messages."
"With PhoneMail,"
he said.
"You have to press lots of buttons
to get your messages."
Lawton said this was a common
complaint he found on the survey:
"Because PhoneMail does not re-
quire a physical instrument, and
has no visual indicator, people
forget to check for messages." he
said.
He said future
PhoneMail
phones would feature a visual in-
dicator,
like
a blinking light, to tell
students they have messages.
But Dickerson said that once
more students arc in the system,
familiarity
and
interest
in

"But I have no personal use for it

Roy Freer, 22, a business major
from Cairo, N.Y., and a resident
assistant at Canterbury Gardens,
said he found it useful.
"When
a residence director
wants to call a meeting, he or she
just calls one number and the
message goes to everyone." she
said.

African studies program.
Although
the college has
begun to organize an African
studies minor program, students
may not actually be able to register
for courses in the field until at least
the fall 1992 semester, according to
Linda Cool, assistant academic vice
president.
Such a program would be inter-
departmental
and incorporate
about eight or nine courses,
some
of which would come from the
sociology and social work depart-
ments, he said.
Ellen Brickwedde,
a
freshman
mentor, agreed there is a greater in-
terest than before not only at
Marist, but nationwide in learning
more about cultural diversity.
"It
is a slow process that involves
committee meetings and discus-
sions among the administration,"
Cool said.
Khatib said he is drafting letters
to faculty members who teach
courses he hopes to include in the
program.
"Anytime anything pertaining to
global studies can be introduced to
the college it is beneficial," said
Brickwedde.
•
Syed Khatib, associate professor
of communication and the pro-
gram's promoter, said even if the
minor is approved, it would not be
included in the next edition of the
course catalogue. The fall 1991
through spring 1993 editioI? is now
being printed.
Once the proposal is complete,
it must be reviewed by the Faculty
Affairs Committee, said Khatib,
who is the former chair of the black
studies department at SUNY New
Paltz.
During the spring of 1990,
Brickwedde taught a 300 level "In-

course, and she said students still

On Saturdays, most Marist College students don't
see the light of day until afternoon.
However, some members of the Tau Epsilon Psi
fraternity are up and out by 9 a.m. helping those in
the Poughkeepsie area rebuild their lives by rebuilding
homes.
Members of TEP are volunteering their services on
Saturday mornings to the national Habitat for
Humanities program's local Poughkeepsie chapter.
Habitat for Humanities is a not-for-profit, nation-
wide organization, started under former President
Jimmy Carter's administration, which buys foreclos-
ed homes, fixes them, and sells them to the homeless
at the foreclosed price.
In the Poughkeepsie area, an extensive waiting list
has formed for these houses al)d each is filled by a
needy family before reconstruction is complete, ac-
cording to William Ritterbush, TEP community ser-
vice chairman.
All of the construction costs, including materials
and labor, are donated, which can slow up the pro-
cess, said Ritterbush, a sophomore political science
major from Thomwood, N.Y.
Ritterbush said TEP members plan to help each
Saturday in April and hopefully the warmer weather
should attract more volunteers and further progress.
Currently, the students are working on a house
located at 4 Grant St. in Poughkeepsie, under the
direction of Rev. Johnson, of the Ebenezer Baptist
Church and the local chairperson of the organization.
An alternating group of six
to
eight TEP members,
of the 41 members of the Marist organization, work
five to six hours a Satu;day as carpenter's assistants.
They preform manual labor, including unloading
supplies, knocking out walls, and rebuilding under the
direction of volunteer contractors.
TEP was told about the program by Phil Koshkin,
director of the Marist Community Service Program.
Koskin said he and two students attended a Board
meeting at the Poughkeepsie chapter of Habitat for
Humanities.
"I said I would be happy to come back to the cam-
pus and spread the word of the Habitat's need,"
Koshkin said.
Koshkin met with the Greek Council in mid-
February to "enlist Marist students to swing a ham-
mer and get out there and help."
However, the program does not provide tools for
the volunteers. So, Koshkin, along with Jim Raimo,
director of housing, and Theresa Best, assistant direc-
tor of campus ministry, purchased some tools which
are available in the Activities Office to any student
who wants to volunteer for the program.
TEP, like all fraternities and sororities on campus,
are required to do community service work by their
national organization based in Atlanta, Ga., but Rit-
terbush said the rewards are much greater.
"We are really helping the homeless and the com-
munity as a whole," said Ritterbush.
"It
makes Marist
look good, and it makes us look good."
"It gives you a sense of accomplishment that you
had a part in helping (the homeless)," said John Har-
ris, a junior from Plainfield, N
.J.
Another way student's are becoming involved is
through disciplinary community service, said Peter
Amato, associate dean of student affairs.
"Off-campus students, who are involved when
something goes bump in the night, have the option
to work with the Habitat program," Amato said.
"It
seems more appropriate for off-campus students
because they live in the community and they can give
back to the community."

Speaker: Advertising
hurts women's image
by
SHEILA McLOUGHLIN
Staff Writer
Although the roles of women
have changed a great deal in the last
30 years, the changes have yet to
be addressed in advertising, accor-
ding to Jean Kilbourne in "Still
Killing Us Softly," a film presented
last Wednesday at Marist.
The film, the second of a three-
part
seminar
series
entitled
"Women
Talking
About
Women," discussed the advertising
industry's marketing of the image
of women.
Kilbourne, who has a doctorate
in education, said every detail of
advertising is planned and the
message to women is clear.
"Stay passive, powerless and
defenseless,"
she said.
A group of 25
students,
staff and
faculty listened
as
Kilbourne
discussed the dangerous impact of
this message.
In the film, Kilbourne said
because of the ideal female beauty
portrayed in ads for such products
as cosmetics
and
clothing, women
feel ashamed and guilty when they
fail to meet this
standard.
"Advertising teaches everyone
contempt, loathing for women's
bodies," she
said.
This
unconscious
effect,
Kilbourne
said,
can be blamer! in
part for the fact that
80
percrnt oi
women think they are overweight,
and one out of five women have
eating disorders such as anorexia
and bulemia.
B~sides a negative-body image,
she said ads also equate sexuality
with
violence,
a dangerous
conception.
One example of this was an ad
for men's clothing, wherein a male
model was standing over a female
model. The female was at his feet,
on her back with her legs wrapped
around his.
The caption for the ad was,
"Created to be Beaten."
•
Kilbourne said although ads like
this do not necessarily cause
violence, they do make people
more callous towards violence.
These ads,
she
said, "socialize all
of us to equate masculinity with
domination and brutalization."
She also said this socialiation
may contribute to the fact that 25
percent of women in college have
been victims of rape and
90
percent
of them knew the offender.
In
addition
to the social arena,
businesswomen in advertising are
also
negatively
portrayed,
Kilbourne
said
during the seminar,
which was sponsored by the Facul-
ty
/Staff
Women's Collective and
the Office of the Vice President of
Academic
Affairs.
As
evidence,
Kilbourne
showed
a
number of
ads
where professional
women were dressed provocative-
ly, with blouses open and male col-
leagues
admiring
their bodies.
Kilbourne said the idea of a
woman being a professional is rare
in advertisements, despite the fact
that one-third of women are the
sole
supporters
of their families.
When women arc depicted as pro-
fessionals,
she said,
the focus is
still
on the body, and that hurts women
and their
credibility.
Kilbourne said the message
\'!'.Omen
get from advertisers is that
products can fulfill them, and
otherwise·, they-are wonh\ess:••'"••
••
"You're ugly. You're disgusting.
Buy something,"
she said.
"Women learn it
...
and internalize
il."
Kilbourne added that people are
exposed to 1500 ads every day and
it is impossible not to be affected
in some way.
Getting it down on paper:
seniors fret over resumes
•
by
L YNAIRE BRUST
Staff Writer
The average cashier has become a monetary and goods exchange pro-
fessional. Someone who pumped gas at Vinnie's Gas and Go is now a
fuel distribution executive. And the newspaper delivery boy has graduated
to regional circulation coordinator.
Marist seniors are putting their creative writing classes to work, now
that graduation is 50 days away.
The lines for the laser printer and the Roget's Thesaurus in the com-
puter center have grown, as many seniors scurry
to
prepare their resumes.
"The hardest part was when I was going through my jobs," said Scott
Marshall, a senior from Seaford, N. Y. "I worked at places like 7-Eleven
and Bradlees.
"I didn't know what to put in or leave out or what to say about those
jobs," Marshall said about his now completed resume.
Most students said resumes are a necessary step into the professional
world, but just as many agree they are tough to write and require acer-
tain mental adjustment.
"It makes you realize that you aren't coming back to Marist next year,"
said Mary Van Ginhoven, a senior from Olean, N.Y. "You don't know
where you will be next year."
"Starting a resume is the hardest part because you procrastinate," said

After the return from Spring Break comes
the creative yet often tedious task of resume
writing, that one-page medium of words
whicl} holds all hope of screaming "Hire me!
Hire me!" on the desk of some potential
employer.
Resume writing is much like completing
a college application: You try to present your
best qualities to the institution, explain your
goals, and account for your past activities.
But, not unlike the resume, it is hard to hide
some glaring deficiency on your transcript.
At least on the resume, a fine manipulation
of words can make even the grim look
average.
And while students are pounding out theii:
"related experience" categories and topping
them off with their pledges to make
references available upon request, Marist
College is starting to confront the large, glar-
ing deficiency on its resume: the library.
Not surprisinlgly, it will take more than
a fine manipulation of words to make the
Spellman appear adequate for its job.
On Friday, the Library Development
Committee presented its report "The State
of the Library" to the faculty and ad-
ministration.
It·
described the facility as
"alarmingly deficient in traditional formats"
(i.e. periodicals, references materials and
books). And following the report, faculty
and administration voiced their views and
concerns about the library.
The concern over the library has resurfac-
ed, in part, because of the shifting focus of
the college away from classroom- and office-
space needs now· that a new classroom
building has been completed and the re-
construction of Donnelly Hall is relatively
close to completion.
But a large part of the concern is due to
the the inevitable accreditation review in the
fall of 1992 by the Commission of Higher
Education of the Middle States Association
of Colleges.
Such
a
review occurs at all accredited col-
leges every
10
years. At Marist's last review,
the library was one aspect of the college slot-
ted for improvement. And with the next
review around the corner, Marist is looking
to make changes. The administration
can
af-
ford the time and effort needed to concen-
trate on this issue since Dyson is fully func-
tioning, and Donnelly construction is
scheduled for a summer finish.
The library's resources have shown some
signs of strength recently. Most notable is the
implementation of the mainframe-accessible,
on-line card catalog, the DOBIS system. And
when the Learning Center moves its offices
to Donnelly Hall this summer, it will provide
some extra space for book stacks.
The library has long been in a sad state.
While small changes in shelf-configuration
and student privileges (e.g. open periodical
stacks) have que\led some complaints over
the past two years, the sheer lack of volumes
and grossly inadequate study space are pro-
blems which have not yet been tackled.
Perhaps the inadequate study space is the
source of the intolerable noise created by
students in the library. The shapers of the
future library -
whether it be expanded or
a new building altogether -
may consider
changing the current study space configura-
tion, which is now quite socially oriented.
If the faculty want students to take their
studies and the library seriously, students
should have study space conducive to study-
ing, not socializing. Socializing is what the
dorm lounges are for, as are the cafeteria,
the sporting events, the river, the 21 Socie-
ty, Skinners, etc. Not the library.
,
But most importantly, the library should
be a prime resource of knowledge for
students. Sadly, it is not. Marist students rely
too heavily on one textbook and class notes
when writing essays and papers. Part of that
results from bad past experiences with do-
ing research in the library -
often a
frustrating search for information that isn't
there.
The attitudes expressed by many students
about the college in the last year seems great-
ly improved; students seem happy to be a
part of the college and its expension, as well
as part of an aesthetically-pleasing environ-
ment. When the status of the library has been
upgraded to accomodate the needs of
students and faculty, Marist can take pride
in itself
as
truly an academically strong
institution.

A scary little tale of cops
and justice in Los Angeles
•
Thinking
Between
The
Lines
CHRIS SHEA
Life in the City of Angels: If the smog
doesn't kill you, maybe the cops will.
By now it's a safe bet to say we've all seen
the videotape of the Los Angeles Police
Department officers severely brutalizing
Rodney King, a motorist pulled over for
speeding.
Sadly, a handful of police officers lost
their cool. The cops beat K;ing with
nightsticks, kicked him in the stomach and
electrically shocked him with a stun gun.
When it was over, King was pummeled and
lifeless - an eye socket, some ribs and a leg,
all shattered.
•
Even sadder, dozens of other uniformed
cops sat by and watched, motionless. A
brutality had become an atrocity.
Maybe these men couldn't afford the
Tyson fight on pay-per-view and had to
release their violence on the job.
Cops
_are
overworked and underpaid,
nobody will deny that. They're spit on when
they interfere and they're chastised for not
being around when needed.
The police risk their lives every day, yet
no one appreciates it. They fight a war on
crime despite being unsupported and under-
financed by an administration that refuses
to admit its "War on drugs" is an illusion.
But what. are they fighting for?
Is it the right to administer beatings· in
place of justice as punishment for breaking
the law?
Let's hope not.
Anybody who thinks so, please board the
next flight for South Africa. You 'II fit right
in, trust me.

Los Angeles fields an average of 350 com-
plaints against police per month. The city
forks over millions of dollars a year in out-
of-court settlements to appease citizens who
feel they were mistreated by the people who
were supposed to protect them.
There's only one man who can be held ac-
countable: Police Chief Daryl Gates.
Gates is insensitive and incompetent. He
has been cited repeatedly for offering view-
points (hey readers, there's an idea) that
border on racism.

the police beat the hell out of a guy cause
he's been in trouble with the law.
And he went on record saying perhaps this
incidence would help King get his life back
on the right track.
How considerate.
Gates should go. He's a public threat to
every citizen in Los Angeles. Fortunately for
him, he's probably got a great future in the
fight business. Maybe he and boxing pro-
moter Don King should get together and
have lunch. It'd be funny to watch which one
tries to stick the other with the bill first.

LETTERS'
TO THE EDITOR
No to condoms
Editor:
I am writing in response to the
Circle Editorial "There's no excuse
for
saying
no to condoms
anymore," which appeared March
7.
First, I would like to say that
premarital sex is wrong. You know
it's very easy to stand up and
follow the crowd, but just because
New York City will now distribute
condoms to their high school
students does not mean we have to.
Haven't you heard the saying "two
wrongs don't make a right?"
My second point is this: I'm tired
of hearing that the Catholic Church
is old and out of date. What the
Catholic Church says about sex
makes a lot . of sense. Sexual
abstinence before marriage is the
right way to go. Let me ask you this
-
where would AIDS and other
STD's be today if people waited to
have sex until they got married and
then stayed
faithful
to one
another? Those diseases would be
nowhere.•
- When students come to Marist as
freshmen, we should teach them
abstinence before marriage because
.in the next five to 10 years these
students will become the parents of
tomorrow. Do we want them
teaching their kids to say yes or no
to premarital sex? I think if we put
condoms on campus, we send the
students here the wrong message.
If we keep condoms off campus,
and teach abstinence, then the
students here can look to strong
role models and not weak ones who
just follow the crowd.

Soviet role . in the Persian Gulf
signifies a changing world order
by
MARK MARBLE
For the past several years, the United States and the
Soviet Union have both made bold and determined
efforts to cultivate a new, friendlier relationship and
to finally end the Cold War.
With both sides willing to listen and compromise,·
the two superpowers have grown closer than ever
before -
that is, until now. The actions of the Soviet
Union during the Gulf Crisis, especially since the
beginning of actual combat, arc confusing, and poten-
tially very dangerous.
Are the Soviets really trying to help, or are they
reverting back to a Cold War policy?
Until the outbreak of war on Jan. 16, the Soviet
Union supported the United States' coalition against
Iraq, and supported their stance that Saddam Hus-
sein had to get out of Kuwait. The support of the
Soviets was very important to the U.S., enabling the
U.S. to gain worldwide support. It was also impor-
tant because Iraq had been a key Soviet ally. The new
relationship between the superpowers seemed to be
working fine. Once the air war started, however, things
began to change rapidly.
Almost immediately after the coalition's air strikes
began, the Soviet army was sent to crackdown on the
rebellious Baltic states, such as Latvia and Lithuania.
These states, like many of the republics in the
U.S.S.R., want their independence.
The Soviets used their military against civilians while
the United States was preoccupied in the gulf. This
is very similar to the previous Cold War policy of the
Soviet Union, for the U .S.S.R. to take advantage of
the U.S. when their attention is diverted somewhere
else. An example of this is the Soviet invasion of
Afghanistan in 1979 while the U.S. was involved in
the Iranian hostage crisis.
The crackdown in the Baltics could indicate that
military right-wing forces are gaining more power in
the 'new' Soviet Union.
The Soviets also made some very questionable
public statements during the air war. After the first
few days of the war, they announced the U.S. were
missing about 90 percent of our targets. They also said
the allies were going too far in their assaults on Iraq.
.
.
These statements make more sense when they are
coupled with the Soviet Peace Initiatives. The Soviets
decided to steal the spotlight away from the U.S.-lcd
coalition just before the beginning of the ground war.
I do not think this was a coincidence.
The Soviets realized the U.S. was going to come out
of the conflict with a great deal of political and military
clout. America was going to be the superpower in the
world. The Soviets did not find great comfort in this
thought. So, at the last possible moment, Gorbachev
became peacemaker, at the expense of George Bush .
Not only could Gorbachev have been hailed as a peace-
maker, he could have gained great respect amongst
radicals in the Middle East, and he might have been
able to increase his pathetically low popularity at
home.
.
I do not think Gorbached is evil or wants to start
a new Cold War. This can be seen by his 'ho-hum'
attitude after the U.S. rejected his peace plan. His is
simply in a difficult political situation. He wants to
reform the Soviet Union, but he meets constant
resistance from the military.
The people of the U.S.S.R. do not like him at all.
They much prefer Boris Yeltsin, who is even more
liberal and favors more reform quickly. To stay in
power, Gorbachev has
Ii'
mend fences with the con-
servatives. This explains the crackdown in the Baltics,
the attempted rescue of Iraq, and the rumors that the
Soviets are not complying with the conventional arms
agreements signed between the superpowers.
Gorbachev is trying to walk a political tightrope.
He needs to broaden his base of power at home while
keeping the political and economic support of the
United States.
Has the Cold War been resurrected by the current
Persian Gulf crisis? Probably not. There will most like-
ly be some hard feelings after the situation is resolv-
ed, but the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. need each other.
The relationship between them has come a long way,
and neither one wants to see it go back to the way it
was.
Can we trust them? Sure. We can trust them to look
out for themselves, just like we do. Who can ask for
anything more?

Thinking of studying abroad? Just do it
by
THEODORE MOY
At.tending
any college,
in
general, can be both rewarding in
education as well as adding fun to
one's life.
But my semester in London,
England was one opportunity of a
lifetime that was surely worthwhile.
I'm sure most of the other
students who have also studied
abroad will agree it was probably
one of the best times in their lives.
I decided out of all the countries
in this world to choose England as
my home for four months. I heard
about it on television and read
abou.t it in magazines. I knew if I
did not go now, I would never have
the chance to go during my college
years again.
I also thought: Why not become
exposed to a iand where the real
English language ought to be
spoken -
with an accent!
Like most people, I was at first
hesitant
to
go overseas because of
the time length involved and leav-
ing family and friends. But after I
arrived in London, I soon realized
how quickly and easily it was to ad-
just to the surroundings.
I was pleased most of the British
were polite and treated me with
respect, unlike many Americans.
Some were even willing to stop
and assist me when needed (totally
opposite from my home in New
York City). This also helped me ad-
just to the country. Since the peo-
ple were friendly, it was simple to
communicate and meet them.
As a result of attending an inter-
national college in London, not on-
ly did I enjoy the fabulous British
surroundings, but I also had the
opportunity to meet other foreign
students from such countries as
France, Holland, Taiwan, Jordan,
Egypt and even Kuwait.
Although the students at Rich-
mond College had mixed reactions
to each other, we all had one thing
in common. Over time, we all
learned to live and respect one
another despite our differences or
negative impacts toward each
nationality.
Many students are afraid to take
the opportunity to go abroad. One
major factor of concern is cost.
Depending on where you go, atten-
ding a foreign college may not
necessarily have a significant im-
pact on your wallet. For example,
Richmond College cost under
$7,000.
Studying abroad would be one
unforgettable opportunity.

mind and expose herself to new
challenges.

See Jim.
Jim expands his mind by smok-
ing pot and exposes himself to new
challenges by flashing freshman
girls and running away.
For Jim, Marist is the place his
parents sent him with the hopes
that he would finally learn some
responsibility and respect for other
people.
See Spot.
Spot sleeps all day and only eats
table scraps. Spot wishes he could
go
to Marist to pursue the same in-
terests, but the new courses don't
include "Canine
Begging and
Resting Techniques" yet.
See Butch.
Butch takes pride in being a
member of every Marist sports
team except men's basketball.
For Butch, Marist is a place
where he can crash after spending
the entire night drinking and try-
ing to get girls to like him.
See Judy.
Judy has lots of hair and causes
a hush in the cafeteria when she
enters. Judy's smile could light a
JOO-watt light bulb. Unfortunate-
ly, Judy's 1.Q. matches her waist
size.
For Judy, Marist is the place
where she'Jl find a husband. Judy
has had the same boyfriend at
home since freshman year, but she
will continue to flirt with everyone
until she finds someone else she
likes.
See Paul.
Paul sits in the front row of all
his classes and constantly par-
ticipates in class discussion by
challenging the opinions of his
professors.
Paul is an adult-education stu-
dent. Younger students think Paul
talks too much, while they sit in
silence and wonder what they'll be
doing that night.
For Paul, Marist is a chance to
make-up for not attending college
earlier. Like Jane, he enjoys college
because he realizes the value of a
college education.
See ChucK.
Chuck killed a man with a letter
opener. Chuck takes Marist classes
in prison.
For Chuck, Marist offers him
the opportunity
to receive an
.
education behind steel bars so that
when and if Chuck gets out of
prison, he can use the letter opener
in the business world.
All of these stereotypical
characters represent Marist. I'm
sure we can find a little bit of some
of them - even Spot - in each of
us.
Whether Marist is our purgatory
before financial success or a step-
ping stone to graduate school, we
all make the best of it one way or
another.

THE CIRCLE, MARCH
28, 1991
Drum solos, celebrity mockery,
muscle-flexing and patriotism
by
MICHAEL FUREY
Staff Writer
Joe Piscopo entertained a sold-
out audience of 350 saturday night
with a variety of impressions and
skits last in the theatre.
Piscopo, a comedian who had
previously worked on the popular
comedy show Saturday Night Live,
gave a performance at 8 p.m.
followed by a second at
IO
p.m.
The skits included musical enters
tainment by Piscopo who played
the saxophone and drums along
with a digital audio tape. Accor-
ding to Chip Maynard, a senior
who worked the stage and lights for
the show, the DAT is a t~pe of pre-
recorded music.
A large portion of Piscopo's act
involved
a
skit called "The
Clicker," in which Piscopo sat in
a chair simulating a person con-
stantly changing the channels on a
television.
On a large television screen, a
video tape of Piscopo's impressions
were played for the sold-out au-
dience. The video included an im-
personation of CNN talk-show
host Larry King interviewing ABC
anchorman -Sam Donaldson.
Piscopo also impersonated Ivana
Trump, recently divorced from the
multi-millionaire Donald Trump.
The skit was based on an Ivana 900
phone number service.
Piscopo did his version
o(
Late
Night with David Letterman in
which he did the popular Late
Night skit of 'stupid pet tricks'.
During this ·segment Piscopo
brought out Teenage Mutant Nin-
ja Turtles dolls and kicked them in-
to the audience.
Aside from his light-hearted
mockery of other celebrities,
Piscopo found time to poke fun at
himself as well.
The video screen displayed a pic-
ture of Piscopo posing on the cover
of the weig!J.t-Jifting
magazine Mus-.
de and Fitness to which he com-
pared himself to a television
evangelist trying to recruit people
into
weight-lifting
and
body-building.
The picture of him was superim-
posed with moving lips over his
mouth which repeatedly said,
"praise the lord and Jove my
body."
•
Piscopo followed his drum solo-
i:!g with a patriotic speech about
America in which he explained how
all the equipment he used was
American-made. A large American
flag hung behind Piscopo during
his speech to make his patriotic
message clear.
•
According to Maynard, Piscopo
seemed to use the first show of the
night as a test because he changed
the skits and the order in which
they were used during the second
show.
"After the show he was very
friendly
and stayed
to sign
autographs and take pictures,"
Maynard added.
-The -opening act for the show
was the· band Riff Raff who per-
formed a near perfect rendition of
the ·Living Color song "Love Rears
Its Ugly Head."
Riff Raff, a Marisc ban<l, had
the privilege of opening for
Piscopo by winning the Battle of
the Bands competition the previous
evening in the Theatre.

Joe knows comedy, Piscopo plays theater
by
MIKE O'FARRELL
Staff Writer
Saturday night, ·Joe Piscopo was where he
likes to be the most -
on the road.
The 39-year-old comedian, who lives in
Rockland County, brought his act to the
Campus Center Theater to prepare for his
upcoming nationwide tour.
It was a different type of show for
Piscopo, who usually does not play small
venues like Marist.
"It
allowed me to rearrange the show and
try out some new things," he said. "The peo-
ple were great and real receptive to what I
was trying to do. It was intimate and real per-
sonable, everything went great. I really had
a good time."
While many performers do not necessari-
ly enjoy life away from home, Piscopo
thrives on it.
"I like to stay on the road and work," he
said.
"It
is the ultimate freedom and you are
your own boss. It's just you, and the people
and that is what makes it fun."
Piscopo said he sometimes gets "spoiled"
while on tour.
"It's great going to different towns and
seeing all these new people that really ap-
preciate the act," he said. "Sometimes it
feels as though I'm spoiled."
After finishing a tour, the former Satur-
day Night Live star said it isn't long before
he is anxious to be back on the road.
"I'll
come home and relax for a few days
and then I get excited to go back out and
start rockin' again," he said.
The one thing that Piscopo does miss while
on the road is his son.
After his divorce, Piscopo lost custody of
his 12-year-old son Joey.
"There is a lot of pain for me not being
able to me son," he said.
"I
miss him so
much when I am on the road because I don't
see him enough. He really means so much
to me."
Now, Piscopo is engaged to 22-year old
Kimberly Driscoll. "I've never met anyone
like her," he said. "She's a good down-home
Jersey girl."
Driscoll, who with Piscopo graced the
cover of a recent Muscle and Fitness
magazine, has become part of his show.
"It's great," Piscopo said. "The crowd
will wait for her to come out on stage dur-
ing the show."
Having started his career as a standup
comedian, Piscopo gained fame while work-
ing on Saturday Night Live from 1980 to
-1984.
"I
will always be grateful to that show,"
he said.
"It
was something that was en-
joyable to do."
The hardest part of the Saturday Night
Live routine was replacing the original cast,
said Piscopo.
"It
was so hard for us to replace (John)
Belushi, (Dan) Akroyd_and (Bill) Murray,
but once we got going the show started to
move really well it was great," he said.
After leaving Saturday Night Live,
Piscopo started doing comedy specials for
Home Box Office (HBO). He has completed
three specials for the cable network and his
first one in 1985 won an Ace Award.
"The HBO specials are tremendous
because of the creativeness that they give the
comedians. We can basically do what we
want," Piscopo said.
Piscopo has also ventured into the movie
business. He starred in Wise Guys with Dan-
ny DeVito, Dead Heat with Treat Williams
and Johnny Dangerously opposite Michael
Keaton.
Despite those films to his credit, Piscopo
doesn't see himself on the big screen in the
near -future.
"I
really like comedy on the stage or televi-
sion. After the Saturday Night Live thing
I
consider myself a television baby," he said.
"I
still get scripts but
I
like staying on the
road."
Piscopo perhaps gained the most recogni-
tion in the Miller Lite commercials. Whether
it was Rappin' Fats or "Bruce" Piscopo, the
commercials gave his career a big boost.
"They were a lot of fun to do," he said.
"I had
a
great time making them and peo-
ple still see me in an airport or somewhere
and ask me
to
do 'Bruce' for them."
When Piscopo started getting serious
about weightlifting while he was doing the
commercials.
"Lifting to me is immediate gratifica-
tion," he said. "It's an outlet. I've got to
keep myself in shape and I really stick to the
routine and to my diet."
Piscopo said he likes to make his show the
culmination of his workouts.
"The performance is the finishing point
of the workout for me," he said. "I will
work hard prior to the show but once I get
on stage, I let it all out."
Whether it's an HBO special, a Miller Lite
commercial or another act away from home,
Joe Piscopo will enjoy it.
"Life is too good," he said. "I love what
l 'm doing."

Vavrina stressed that other
recommendations the committee
made could be implemented as ear-
ly as this fall.
More study space for students is
something Vavrina sees as vital to
the Marist academic atmosphere.
"I worry that with our present
situation we don't have enough
space for the serious student to
study without distractions,"
he
said.

THE CIRCLE, MARCH 28, 1991
Candy for all baskets.
at local sweet shop
by
L
YNAIRE BRUST
Staff Writer
Easter eggs, bunnies, hand-filled baskets
-
and X-rated chocolates?
At the Caffe Aurora, you can buy these
and other kinds of unique Easter candy made
from the 2,500 pounds of white, dark and
milk chocolate so your special someone -
no matter how picky - will have a basket
this Easter.
The candy made in the on-site kitchen
ranges from the classic Easter Egg to the
trendy Bart Simpson.
"We
do a little bit of everything," said
Lou Strippoli, owner of the family-run
business at 145 Mill St.
And prices range from 50-cent lollipops to
a $300, 4-foot Easter bunny.
''We made two of those this year and both
are sold already," said Lou Strippoli, owner
of the family-run business at 145 Mill St.
One popular Easter item is the chocolate
"If
you want it, you have to open the box
, to see it,'' Strippoli said.
The candy lover's dream also sells Easter
baskets filled with its homemade chocolate,
imported chocolate and some of the 1,500
pounds of jelly beans they go through
annually.
The baskets come from a Brooklyn wicker
importer and after they are filled, they are
wrapped in colored cellophane and tied with
a homemade ribbon.
"Some people buy a basket and pick their
own candy to fill it with," Strippoli noted.
While most people have stopped making
homemade chocolate goodies, the store has
been producing them since it first opened 49
years _ago, Strippoli said.
"It's very expensive labor-wise, that's why
most people don't do it," Strippoli com-
mented. "We like the distinction."
Strippoli said there is a difference between
homemade and store chocolate. Homemade

fish.
"It
seems that girls are buying them to give
to guys," Strippoli said of the hollow,
I -pound, chocolate fish.
One of the business's best-sellers doesn't
have an Easter theme, according to Strippoli.
"Chocolate
handguns are the most
popular item, especially among children,"
Strippoli said of the I-pound, solid chocolate
confection. "We've caught some slack from
1eligious people, but it's just a gag."
Another gag item that the Caffe Aurora
creates in it's kitchen is X-rated chocolate.
"We discretely dabble in X-rated
chocolates," Strippoli pointed out "We've
been raked over the coals for this, too."
Strippoli claims that the X-rated candy is
in a box which is clearly marked and is out
of reach of ch.flclren.

Earth Day plans, recycling
beginning to
_take
.root
by
RICHARD
NASS
Staff Writer
ln wake of Dutchess County's
newly-passed mandatory recycling
law, the Marist environmental
committee discussed the campus
recycling program and set tentative
plans
for
the
Earth
Day
celebration.
"This year's event will be quite
similar to last years; but will be on
a slightly smaller scale," said
Richard Roder, one of the commit-
tee leaders.
Last year's event attracted both
students and community members
who received literature or par-
ticipated in theme booths centered
around the environment.
Events the committee, which is
comprised of 10 students and head-
ed by two Housing and Residential
Life staff members, planned for the
April 20-21 celebration include
guest speakers, poetry readings, a
variety of bands, tie-dye booths
and recycling and theme booths.
A rain plan will also be instituted
this year which will move the event
into the McCann Center rather
than the Campus Center, as was
the case last year, according to Bob
Lynch, co-coordinator of student
activities.
Patty Houmiel, a resident direc-
tor of Leo Hall, is also involved
with the committee.
"We are. co-coordinating a
booth with the Gartland Commons
Apartment Resident Student Coun-
cil (RSC). The booth will be based
on their successful recycling pro-
gram," said Houmiel.
The RSC program, which at-
tempts to get students to drop-off
recyclable newspapers weekly
behind the apartment's D-section,
has been in effect since January.
The recycling law is a topic of
discussion among college officials
who are forced to deal with recycl-
ing newspapers, glass, metals and
plastics, amidst a student body that
hasn't been very receptive to the
changes implemented in order to
accommodate law requirements,
said Houmiel.
"I am trying to-get
a
represen-
tative from Physical Plant to speak
about the changes and what needs
to be instituted in the future," said
Houmiel, who gets annoyed when
she see's Marist's recycling pails
filled with any type of waste.
"Recycling, with everybody's
help, can make a difference. It's
something that one can't effectively
do alone," said Roder, who urges
all students to panicipate in Eanh
Day.

matches
dfuo.
the\ ne,v~
season, the men•s~t~.nnis~·
team is
starting to reach iriid!season :form.
After opening the'seasori with.an
impressive 8-1 win over the Univer-
sity of Bridgeport, the Red Foxes
dropped a tough
54
decision to St.
Francis, NY.
"We really came out smoking
against Bridgeport," said Head
Coach Terry Jackrel.
Leading the way for the Red
• Foxes was number one singles Stan
Phelps who didn't lose a game,
winning 6-0, 6-0.
Number
two Jim Cagney,
•
number three Chris Trieste, and
number six Jim Hallorin all won in
straight sets.
Number five John Cleary lost his
first set 4-6 but walked away vic-
torious in the second and third sets,
6-4, 6-4, to win his singles match.
The number
ones do~bles
tandem of Phelps and Trieste and
the number two team of Cagney·
and John Favazzo both won easily
8-.1.
•
The • number
three doubles
taijdem of Hallorin and Jeff
Barker cruised to victory, 8-4.
Despite po.or playing conditions,
Triesre said the team did well.
"To win on the road in an in-
door court with a different surface
and poor lighting makes us very
happy," said the co-captain.
In the match versus St. Francis,
the Red Foxes won three singles
matches and lost three singles
matches.
Again leading the way for Marist
was Phelps 4-6, 6-3, 6-3. Cagney
downed his opponent
6-2,
7-5 while
Barker, filling in at the number six
singles spot, won his match 6-3,
6-1.
Trieste lost in three sets after
winning the
first
set while Favazzo
and Cleary lost in straight sets.
The number two doubles
·1eani
of
Cagney and Favazzo won 6-1, 7-5.
The match was lost, however,
when the number one team of
Phelps and Trieste lost in a tough
three set batele that lasted over two
and one half hours, 3-6, 6-2, 6-4.
"We played excellent in the first
set and then lost momentum in the
second set and they moved their
game up a notch in the third set to
win. It was a really great match,
but we were tired," said Trieste.
"Stan
(Phelps) played really
well. He spent over five hours on
the court against St. Francis.
Cagney did very well, and Jeff
Barker shined while stepping in at
the last minute," said Jackrel.
"The guys have played very well,
these were two great matches. St.
Francis was tough because we had
to wait a long time to get the courts
which I think hurt us a little but I
am extremely
pleased,"

tana was one of the tougher teams
Marist has faced this season.

'They
are one of the best block-

_long
time," Hanna said. "They have
very good scorers and are a great
offensive team."
On the second day of the Classic,
the Red Foxes split their other two
matches.
The Red Foxes scored a hard
fought 3-2 win over the University
of Bridgeport. Marist downed the
visitors 16-14, 15-8, 12-15, 7-15,

Hampton.
Hanna fueled the Marist attack
by slamming down 20 kills and ser-
ving four aces. Azarra chipped in

Red Foxes
down Queens
for first win
by
MIKE O'FARRELJ-
Sports Editor
The lacrosse team earned its first
win of the season Monaay when it
downed Queens College 11-10 in
overtime.
The
.Red
Foxes now have an
overall mark of 1-4 while posting
an
0-2
mark in the Knickerbocker
Conference.
Senior co-captain Brian Hanifin
scored the game winner from the
right side of the net while the Red
Foxes had a man advantage.
Hanifin, who led the offensive
attack with four goals, said the
final play did not go as planned.
"It was designed to start from
behind the net but they left me wide
open and I was able to sneak in,"
he said.
•
Marist Head Coach Tom Djehl,
making his debut on Leonidoff
Field, said although the final play
did not go as designed, he welcom-
ed the outcome.
"We teach the kids to follow
concepts, not just specific plays,"
he
said. "The original idea didn't
work and they recognized that the
concept was there and took advan-
tage of
it."
In the first period, sophomore
Jim Kresge put the Red Foxes on
the board early. Hanifin also add-

A crew shell split in two on the
Hudson River March
10
due to
waves caused by a passing tug boat.
Three Marist freshmen teams
were practicing on the river when
the accident occurred at about 7:25
a.m. The varsity crews were train-
ing in West Virginia.
The men.'s freshmen eight crew
was damaged when the tug boat
.
passed through the practice area at
its normal speed without slowing
down.
.
The boat made it through the
first set of waves, but could not
survive the second set, according to
the office of sports medja relations.
The boat could not withstand the
wake and the pressure of the water
split the
_boat
in two pieces. Rather
than being parall~l to the wake in
order to· ride it out, the shell was
pe'rpendicular and the force of the
water was too strong.
"We were unable to stay
parallel," said coxswain Holly
Boynton, a freshman. "Everything
went so fast!'
•
After the accident, the crew was
picked up and brought to the west
side of the river, according to
Boynton.
"Things just happened to fast,"
she said.
"It
was· handled well,
there wasn't any panic. We were
basically just scared. T.he coaches
did a good job."
Once on the west side, some
rowers were brought back
_to
the
Poughkeepsie side and some went
to nearby houses to
call
authorities
and "to keep warm," according to
Boynton. The water temperature
was 33 degrees.
After being taken to St. Francis
Hospital for evaluation, the crew
was released when their
'body
temperatures returned to its"
normal
level. There were no injuries.
There is supposed to be an
understanding
among passing
boats that when travelling through
the area, they should be aware of
the crews on the river, according to
Dan Sullivan, director of sports
media relations.
"The boats are supposed to slow
their engines and just cruise
through the area if there are crews
on the water," said Sullivan. "This
boat just kept going at a normal
speed."
"The coaches did a great job
considering the circumstances,"
Sullivan said.
The shell is not salvageable, ac-
cording to Boynton.
•
"Only the stern half has been
found and that wasn't even found
the day of the accident," she said.

"From a mental standpoint, most.of our effort was agamst

we knew that we could play hard against -Southern."
"We were really up for CCM,'' said captain Steve Waryas. "Playing
thetn hard may have had° something to do with th~ outcome against
Sc;zuthern
but ldon't think it made that much ofa difference. We were
up for both games."
It was the third meeting of the season between the two clubs. In the
opening game of this year's campaign, Southern was able to score in the
final minutes to tie Marist 4-4. Later in the year, Marist handed the Owb
a l0-4 defeat.
"They were a different team than when we played them earlier in the
year," said Waryas. "We didn't take them lightly, things on our end
just didn't click."
•
''We knew they were a good team," Waryas said. "We thought that
we would take them but we weren't overconfident because we knew
the,·
could play strong after they tied us late in the first game of the season.:.
Southern Connecticut got going quickly. The Owls scored two goals
in the first three minutes of the game.
•
"They came out flying," said captain Kevin Walsh. "There goalie had
a great game."
"There may have been some nervousness on our part," Mattice said.
"We were just off to a slow start. However, we were able to bounce back
after each goal that they scored."
Southern held a 3-1 lead after the first period and Marist scored the
only second period goal making the score 3-2 after two periods.
In the third period, Marist tied the score at three apiece before Southern
went ahead 4-3. The Red Foxes tied the game at 4-4 before the game
winner was scored with just 2 minutes, 35 seconds left to play.
S_coring for the Red Foxes were Derek Porello, Scott Brown, Noel
Smith and John Lloyd.
•
After the early Southern goals, the Red Foxes found themselves in a
similar situation.
"We were caught in a situation like that the entire year " Mattice said.
"We had some defensive let-downs and found ourselves :.Vorking
harder
to get into the game."
Mattice credited the line of Lloyd, Porello and Smith for solid play
throughont the playoffs.
•
~'Th~y _are my second _line, or my freshmen lil).e, and they provided
quite a ~1t of the offensive punch down the stretch," he said.
Looking back on the year, Mattice was pleased with the effort of his
tean:i_
to
_overcome
some problems along the way.
"We just didn't overcome a problem here or there," he said. "This
team over~me a lot of ~dversity during the year and the credit for that
has to be given to t~e seniors. I can:t say enough about the leadership
that they possess. It 1s the type of thmg that spills over onto the ice and
effects the younger guys and the rest of the team in a positive manner."
Overall, Mattice was pleased.
"It's easy to say that if we had a full squad the entire the year we would
have been better off," he said. "But the way I look at it is considering
what we faced, we did a great job. I think we had one helluva season
and they should be proud of that."
