Donnelly work moves
The junior class tradition
ahead of sched.ule
by
DAN HULL
and ILSE
MARTIN
Donnelly Hall renovations took a new turn this week with the reloca-
tion of the Registrar's Office to the lower level and the demolition of
the Business Office, according to Tom Daly, clirector of the Physical Plant
office.
The construction is two to three weeks ahead of schedule and the in-
terior of the building is expected to be complete by the end of May, ac-
cording to Daly.
Bob Douglas, superintendent for Pizzagalli Construction Co., said:
"I'm getting a lot of cooperation from the college and all the freedom
we need from people. The offices are working with us real well."
Aside from continuing office construction, completed work includes
the installation of air conditioning and heating system, new ventilation
system; computer and telephone wires, fire alarms, smoke detectors and
a sprinkler system, according to Architect Al Cappelli.
The Registrar's Office was moved Monday adjacent to the Office of
Career Development, and construction workers have blocked off the
hallway for safety reasons during the knocking down of walls, Daly said.
Both of these offices are in temporary locations.
•
The Financial Aid Office moved back Monday to nearly-completed
offices in its original location on· the second floor, having been on the
lower level since winter Intersession.
"We tried to better utilize the space already (in Donnelly). The func-
tions didn't really change -
we just better utilized the space so the of-
fices can function better," said Cappelli.
The next stage will be the impro_vements of the new cafeteria, which
will be moved slightly west toward the Business Office, Daly said. The
current space of the cafeteria will become Academic Service Offices: the
Higher Education Opportunity Program, the Learning Center, and the
Office of Career Development.

Hynes said
the schedule Marist's campaign is
following will be effective.
A massive letter-writing cam-
paign, a phone bank, and possibly
a competition among clubs are the
strategies college officials will in-
itiate to help reject Gov. Mario
Cuomo's proposed state budget.
Plans to have each professor
take 15.minutes at the beginning of
class to have students write letters
during the week of March 18 - 22,
have been proposed, but not
finalized, Hynes said.
"The letters and phone calls will
be arriving in the thick of it," he
said, referring to the budget pass-
ing process.
Letters to students, parents,
faculty, administration and the
Board of Trustees members will be
sent next week to request each per-

Marist student claims abduction;
f~ces false reporting char·ges
by
ST ACEY MCDONNELL
Managing Editor
A female _Marist st~dent was arrested and charged
yesterday with two misdemeanors, after claiming to
have been abducted from campus Tuesday night.
The 19-year-old commuter student was charged with
falsely reporting an incident in the third degree and
aggravated harassment, said Joseph Leary, director
of the Office of Safety and Security.
•
She is considered a youthful offender according to
state Jaw. Therefore her name could not be released
Leary said.
'
Be~ween 4 a.m. and 7 a.m. Wednesday morning,
the girl contacted her parents and told them three
males approached her in Donnellv Hall at
J J
p.m.
Tuesday night. .
•
She said the males offered to give her a ride home,
but when she gave them directions, they did not follow
them.
The parents only spoke to the girl, who claimed
there was a ransom demand, said Leary. They then
called the Dutchess County Sheriff's Office who con-
tacted the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the State
Police and the Town of Poughkeepsie Police.
Leary said the false kidnapping was broadcast on
raclio stations throughout the area, as well as on Long
Island and in New Jersey. One student called and said
the incident was reported on WCBS-TV, in New York
City, accorcling to a student receptionist in the security
office.
"Parents were calling in and would not believe it
was a hoax," said Leary. "All they heard was that
there was a kidnapping at Marist -
not that the girl .
had been arrested and charged."
Leary
was contacted at about 12 noon yesterday by
Lt. J.J. Thompson of the sheriff's department, who
conducted the investigation.
After about two hours of questioning by department
detectives, the girl admitted she actually attended a
basketball game in Monmouth, N.J. Tuesday night,
Leary said.
He said the girl and two of her friends were involv-
ed in an accident on the Taconic Parkway, but manag-
ed to get toa diner in Yorktown,
N.Y.
The State Police
have records of the accident, he said.
The girl called her parents from the diner, and one
of her friends called another friend to come and bring
them home, Leary said. He also said the others were
not involved in the girl's false allegations.
The girl will appear in court next
week.
dresses of the 150 assemblymen
and 61 senators will be available at
the phone bank and during the
Jetter-writing campaigns.
Districts will be categorized ac-
cording to zip code, said Hynes.
That is, a student who wants to
write a letter or make a phone call
can look up their legislator by fin-
ding their zip codes on the list
provided.
Hynes said the legislators' phone
numbers and addresses in Albany
will be furnished, and, he said, the
college is trying to compile a list of
ing to Albany to lobby their
arguments, which include the fact
that 40 percent of all African-
American and Hispanic students
enrolled in New York state col-
leges, attend independent schools.
Kevin Desmond, president of the
student government, said Alpha,
Kappa Psi, Marist's new business
fraternity has pledged 50 members
to help with the campaign.
A
competition among the clubs
to come up with the most creative
slogans or campaign strategies may
also be initiated.
CSL issues frats warning
for incidents last semester
by
DAN HULL
News
Editor
The Council of Student leaders
issued written reprimands Monday
to two fraternities for illegal ac~
tivities involving their members, ac-
cording to Kevin Desmond, student
body president.
The letters were
written to the presidents of Tau Ep-
silon Phi and Tau Kappa Epsilon
as reprimands "for conduct which
is not condusive to an academic or
social
environment,"
said
Desmond.
In the case of Tau Epsilon Phi,
incidents included the presence of
alcohol in an underclass residence
hall and a TEP member being ar-
rested for driving while under the
influence of alcohol, Desmond
said.
TKE's reprimand concerned an
incident on Oct. 24, 1990 in which
a scavanger hunt resulted in van-
dalism or college property, accor-
ding to Desmond.
He said the frats might have lost
their charters if either were on
i;robation.
"Things may have been dif-
ferent,"
Desmond
said.
"Everything is subject to review
and that goes for any group, not
just fraternities."
TKE came off probation in
September for incidents occuring
during their temporary recognition
period last year, said Desmond.
TEP has never been on probation.
Both frats were warned that
future incidents will directlv affect
the fraternities existence • at the
college.
In addition, CSL strongly sug-
gested that TEP hold a campus
program on alcohol awareness.
Desmond said that copies of the
letters were sent to each frat's na-
tional chapter and college officials.

Woody Allen's film has its ups and downs
by
Bl~UAN
MCNELIS
"Scenes From a Mall"; the new
movie directed by Paul Mazursky,
.:s a mediocre hit or miss comedy.
The movie stars Woody Allen
and Bette Midler as Nick and
Deborah Fifer. They play an upper
n11ddle-class couple living in
southern California,
who are
celebrating their sixteenth wedding
anniversary. The movie follows
their escapades as they decide to go
for a quick trip to a mall and wind
up staying all day. While at the
mall they both tell each other they
are having affairs.
This is the first time in a long
time Woody Allen has starred in a
movie he has not directed. And
here he plays his usual, neurotic
self.
His character,
Nick,
is a lawyer
who represents sports stars, trying
to get them lucrative contracts. He
spends a lot of the movie wonder-
ing if one of his deals will go
through. As in many of Allen's
films, sometimes he is funny and
sometimes he is just annoying. His
best scenes occur when he reveals
his affair to Deborah.
Bette Midler is also off and on
as Deborah - at times funny, and
at times not. Deborah
is a
psychiatrist who specializes in
matrimonial problems. She is also

Mall,'

the author of a new, best-selling
book about marriage.
.
Deborah tries to convince her
husba~d that things aren't as bad
as he thinks they are. Her attitude
changes though, when she finds out
that he has been having an affair
-
this turns into some of her best
scenes.
Once the film gets going,
"Scenes From a Mall," begins to
go down hill. After Allen reveals
his affair, the movie follows Nick
and Deborah from store to store in
the mall as they try and sort out
their marital trouble. At first this
is amusing, but it quickly becomes
tiresome and boring. There aren't
enough funny scenes to sustain the
film.
CAN YOU AFFORD AN
INCREASE IN TUITION?
The supporting roles in "Scenes
From a Mall" are well chosen. Bill
Irwin is good as a mime
'who
hounds the Fifers throughout their
stay at the mall. He has some very
funny scenes with Mr. Allen. Mr.
Mazursky himself plays another
psychiatrist whom we only get to
see on television. The movie also
devotes time to a barber shop
quartet who roam the mall singing
_
holiday songs as the movie is set
during Christmas.
Brian McNelis is a junior major-
ing in communication arts.

To address the impact of the Persian G~lf War on local citizens, there
will be a forum tonight in the theatre.
.
•
"Home front: Hudson Valley," will be a public forum hosted by Greg
Floyd of WTZA-TV in conjunction with the college at 7 p.m.
The presentation will include series of video presentations followed
by panel discussions.
"We want to treat this like a town meeting," said WTZA's Ed
McCann, co-producer of the show. "We want voices to be heard."
The program will consist of brief videos, each highlighting a particular
aspect of the war. A panelist will then comment on each issue raised in
the videos and how it has hit home in the Hudson Valley.
The panelists were chosen by McCann and co-producer Hannah
Hawkins based on who they had seen over the past few months as
representing polarizing views on the issues.
Panelists will speak on a variety of topics including economic impact,
political and social ramifications and the effect on local families.
The panelists include: Richmond Egan, assistant professor of com-
munication arts at Marist; Dr. Alan Schneider, psychologist and social
-
worker; Paul J. Graci, president and chief operations officer of Central
.
Hudson Gas & Electric; Lucille Thitchener, whose 21-year-old son is ser- •

ving in the Persian Gulf and whose diary of events appear daily in The
••
Poughkeepsie Journal; Col. Paul Weaver, Jr., commander of the N.Y.
Air National Guard; and Barbara Scott, associate professor of sociology
at SUNY College at New Paltz.
.
After each panelist has had an opportunity to speak, all of the par-
ticipants will assemble to engage in a question and answer session with
the audience.
The forum will be videotaped by WTZA-TV for broadcast at 8:00 p.m.
on March 3, and at 7 p.m. on March 9.
All those attending the forum are asked to arrive at least 15 to 20
minutes early in order to leave time for last minute audio and visual

How close·':·i:s
Marist
to sexual equality?
by
L
YNAIRE BRUST
Staff Writer
Marist.
"The fact that we have departments that
are 90-95 percent female is something to be
proud of," Parker said.
"If
you're willing to go that extra nine
yards for the students, they (the administra-
tion) recognize that," lvankovic said.
Saunders, associate professor of English.
Female role models offer women students
possibilities that male professers could not
according to Marguerite Hefferon, assistant
professor of English.
In 1968, a 56-year-old Amenia resident
received an insurance settlement and decid-
ed to use the money to get an education.
She was one of the first women students
to attend Marist.
According to Ivankovic, the Registrar's
Office is staffed by eight women and one
man.
"Recruiting, retaining and promoting
women is frustratingly slow," said Linda
Cool, assistant vice president for Academic
Affairs, about the number of women in high
positions.
Administrators interviewed said Marist is
working to create a more equal administra-
tion, but it will take some tim_e
to see definite
results.
Other women agree.
"There aren't any 'grand old ladies' on
this campus to look up to," said Saunders.
Elizabeth Yerks, who still lives in Amenia,
remembers her classes at Marist well -
especially her religion class.
"There were 23 men and three women in
this class, and while we discussed abortion
rights, the three of us got called on for most
of the answers," Yerks said.
"I
don't think
they understood women, at least not when
I was there. It wasn't really co-ed yet."
"I do believe there is a genuine concern
for women at Marist," said Cool. "We're
really making good efforts, but we have a
long way to go."
Janet Desimone, a senior from Bayside
N. Y.,
said she feels the number of wome~
role models on campus will affect the
students.
Some 23 years later, Marist has changed,
and many women administrators, faculty
and students said while they feel problems
still exist, the college is working towards of-
fering equal education to both sexes.
And while they said they believe the col-
lege is working to solve some of these pro-
blems, sources interviewed said a major con-
cern of women at Marist is that the number
of women faculty and administrators does
not reflect the number of women students.
They also said women remain in the secon-
dary and lower positions.
Unequal Proportions?
There are currently about
1,800
women
students and 1, 700 men students enrolled at
Marist, according to Judy Ivankovic,
registrar. These numbers include the prison
program students, who are mostly male.
"On campus, it looks like the females are
taking over," lvankovic said.
"I
think that what was lacking in years
before were role models - a mentor figure.
I can't relate as much to a man as a mentor
as I can to a woman," said Desimone. "A
mentor is a person
you
can see yourself as
in 20 years."
"I
think that the students here notice
where the women are and they use the
women as role models," said Joanne Myers,
assistant professor of political
science.
While many women on campus feel the
numbers are disproportionate, there is a
general sense that Maris! is trying to even
them out.
"You don't expect a formerly all-male
school to become 50/50 overnight,'·
Saunders said.
"In time, the numbers will even out - but
not within the next five years,'' Myers said.
Marist
Is Not Alone
Women students at other formerly all-
male colleges nationwide are also voicing
concerns at this and other points, according
to a recent article in "The Chronicle of
Higher Education."
One concern of women nationwide is the
curriculum does not reflect the contributions
of women.
In the administration, however, there is
one woman vice president, and she is in an
acting position. Most of the other women ad-
ministrators
are "assistants
to"
and
"associates."
"When
you get to upper levels of ad-
ministration, women with experience who
qualify for those positions are fewer than
men," said Gerard Cox, vice president for
Student Affairs. "They are in greater de-
mand."
Many administrators said they think the
number of male and female administrators
should reflect the number of male and female
students.
"It
is top-heavy male," said Ivankovic of
the administration. "I think it would be more
encouraging to see more female representa-
tion, especially since it seems there are more
females on campus."
Mentors, Role Models and Women
There is, however, concern among the
women faculty that their numbers do not of-
fer enough role models for women.
At Marist, many professors feel women's
studies courses would not improve the
understanding of women's contributions.
"I
have a problem with ghetto-izing," said
Hefferon. "By maintaining that otherness,
you are causing other problems."
Hefferon organizes the "Women Talking
about Women" seminar series currently run-
ning at Marist.
"I don't think there has been opposition
to hiring women," said Cox. "Marist just
hasn't been successful in attracting women
to these positions."
"I
think any ·group should be represen-
tative of its constituents," she said,
•
"The students need a diversified staff so
that their education experience is enriched "
Out of 152 full time faculty, 47 are women
and according to Cool, none of these women
are full professors.
The women faculty make up 31 percent of
the faculty but, according to Cool, 36 per-
cent of the current faculty have been hired
since
1985,
and of those hired,
61
percent
were women.
She said integrating the material into ex-
isting classes would be a more effective way
to teach both sexes about the contributions
women have made to society.
said Parker.

Marist is an equal opportunity, affirmative
action employer, and this is made known for

Most women administrators feel oppor-
tunities exist for them at Marist, and do not
feel they are held back by their gender.

Some Marist College students
have been questioned, cajoled,
mimicked and even sent to the prin-
cipal's office - all because of their
names.
These aren't just any names.
The students all have one thing
especially because he has no mid-
dle name.
Stewart would like to take his
identification with the movie star
one step further. He said his grand-
father reaped benefits from the
name

business, and now the younger
Stewart says the name might help
him set himself apart as well.

The age factor also makes a dif-
ference in the questions Cagney
and Stewart receive.
Cagney experienced "a new
generation of teasing" when he
worked with first through seventh
graders at a summer
camp.
"Hey, Cagney, where's Lacy?"
the children asked, referring to the
early 1980s police television series.
Stewart often describes his
.
in common: They have the same
names as famous people, including
actors, television stars and wealthy
business people.
Interviewed students agreed that
having the same name as a famous
person is usually a positive ex-
perience, although the constant
questions and comments can get on
their nerves.
Marist student James Cagney remembers
his first encounter with a new music teacher
in the fourth grade. "What's your real name,
Mister?" the teacher demanded -
before
sending Cagney to the principal's office.

Having a famous name gives a
person an unusual and close con-
nection to the star.

sister, Barbaranne, contacted the
real Cagney, who, in turn, helped
her with two unique birthday gifts

Cagney admitted it got ugly

BARBARA JOYCE
Staff Writer
If you have ever felt you were
treated unfairly by an RA or RD,
what can you do about it? Appeal-
ing his or her decision may be the
answer.
But, the appeals process is not
guaranteed for everyone.
There

quests each semester, of those, four
or five go to a hearing.
said
John
Padovani, assistant director of
Housing and Residential Life.
Appeals must be based on faul-
ty procedure by the staff or if a stu-
dent feels he or she was the victim
of biased treatment, said Padovani.
"Some students appeal out of
anger but others feel there were no
grcmnds for the discipline action,"
said Denise O'Neill,
resident
director.
Students have che option of ap-
pealing to a seven-member student
judicial board or the director· of
housing.
In either case. a written state-
ment must be submitted by the stu-
dent within 48 hours of the inci-
dent. said O°Neill.
The statement is reviewed and
then decided whether or not the ap-
peal is heard.
"Some stud::nts think the pro-

Or perhaps it has been the small but consis-

Whatever it is, many Americans seem to
be changing their attitudes about the war.
They seem to have adopted some of the con-
fidence they sec in people like Powell. And
for many people, what once practically took
over their lives has become a comparatively
small concern. In short, the war is no longer
a primary concern for them.
That has its pros and cons.
Many people say they have confidence the
war is going to end soon. And over the past
few weeks, other have realized there was a
nit of futility in anti-war protests, knowing
the United States was not about to wimp out
on its threats. Instead they turned to debate
and discussion about the implications of the
war - the ethics and morality, politics and
humanity, people and sociology.
But when network television stations an-
nounced the first allied air attack on Iraqi
forces, it stunned Americans. The news com-
pelled them to sit in front of a television, and
for many, it nearly took over their every
waking moment. Some people have said they

it took a while before personalities and late-

The fight for state aid in higher education
is now. And the college is asking students to
help in the fight against Gov. Mario
Cuomo's proposed budget cuts. They
shouldn't have to do much prodding; after
all, it is the students who will suffer the most
when they can't afford the hikes in tuition
that will inevitably occur in the fall.
Many students have already staned Jetter-

better.
At the state Capitol building on Monday,
hundreds of students protested Cuomo's
proposal to raise tuition at State University
of New York schools, chanting "We want
Cuomo! We Want Cuomo!" Cuomo is pro-
posing an additional $500 tuition hike, hav-
ing already raised tuition
$300.
But students at private colleges like Marist
are going to feel the pinch even more so.
Since Cuomo has proposed slashing the Tui-
tion Aid Program, the Regents College
scholarships, and Bundy aid, Marist students
are facing decreases in the financial aid they
receive and increases in tuition.
They must get involved in the fight against
Cuomo's proposal.

LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR.
Thanks for support
Editor:
I would like to take this oppor-
tunity to thank the faculty and ad-
ministration of Marist in their sup-
port of the Political Science Club's
attendance at the Princeton Model
United Nations Conference at
Princeton University, Feb. 14-17,
1991.
To President Dennis Murray and
Academic Vice-President Mark
vanderHeyden, Dean of Activities
and Housing Steve Sansola and the
Financial Board, and to Dr.
Joanne Myers, our club advisor, I
would like to extend thanks for the
assistance
they gave to our
delegates.
The Model United Nations is a
wonderful opportunity for students
to learn about diplomacy and in-
ternational politics through the
simulation of the United Nations.
Princeton's conference was attend-
ed by almost
four-hundred
delegates representing sixty-three
nations in various U.N. Commit-
tees. Each committee examines
issues and topics relevant to today's
society such as the status of
women, development, the third
world debt crisis, disarmament,
drugs, and the environment. Marist
represented the positions of Nigeria
and Paraguay on these topics ..
The conference was a fantastic
experience for all the delegates. The
Political Science Club will be spon-
soring more of these in the coming
semesters. Any interested student
of any major is invited to attend
our meetings .and find out more
about these opportunities. Please
contact me through the club presi-
dent's office or P.O. Box 3-27.

The memories of four quick years gone
by
by
SCOTT DALY
The other day in Donnelly Hall, I
remembered a quote someone told
me earlier this year. For some
reason, I started to think about it
again. The quote deals with the
four years of college lif~ ;,md it goes
like this: "The first four weeks of
school seem like four years and the
next four years seem like four
weeks." Seems rather profound to
me, but it is true.
with the new surroundings. You
think to yourself if this person you
just introduced yourself to will be
your friend for more than just the
first day. You also wonder how
you will get along with your room-
mate. As the first day progressed,
I watched in jealousy as roommates
paired off and explored campus
together. See, my roommate didn't
arrive the first day like everyone
else, so I had to fend for myself.
It was a long day.
the first few weeks. My friends
longed for that home cooked meal
and the shower with no wait.
Homework started to pile up and
weekends began to start on
Wednesday night instead of Friday.
It seemed to me that the first week

flashes before my eyes, I can still
recall certain evenings from early
sophomore year at the river and
some all night study sessions like
they were yesterday. Friendships
have come and gone, but even the
lost friendships do not seem so
distant.

pocketbook or you would stay a
year or two longer. I can still
remember my first homework
assignment in the now non-existent
Intro. to Communications class. I
can also visualize the first day at
my internship, apprehensive about
working in a "real"usiness climate.
These events all seem like they hap-
pened yesterday.
By the end of the first month,
college was old hat. The urge to go
home every weekend had diminish-
Before I got to school, everyone
was telling me that college would
be the best four years of my life.
I kind of doubted this at the time.
i:
heard rumors that course work
was extremely difficult, with term
papers of extraordinary length and
textbooks that should be in the
hands of NASA scientists rather
than a college student's. Maybe
deep down I knew I would love col-
lege, but when it started, I was
scared to death.
" ... college is too quick. We are constantly
saying 'Can you believe we are graduating?'
You almost wish it wasn't such a burden on
your pocketbook or you would stay a year or
two longer.''
I can • remember talking with
some freshmen in the beginning of
this year. After the first weekend,
which I doubt was not what they
had expected, they were ready to go
home. I'm sure it was just a strong
case of homesickness, but I still
couldn't fathom why they would
want to leave. Though I don't mind
going home and I do take day trips
home quite frequently, school goes
by so quick, you do not want to
miss a thing.
Sitting around the townhouse
with friends reminiscing about the
good times and the bad just rein-
force in my mind that college is too
quick. We are constantly saying,
"Can
you
believe
we are
graduating?" You almost wish it
Soon I will be able to call myself
a graduate of Marist College and
I will be proud of this. The time
that I have spent here has been, as
the friend of my family so diligent-
ly put it, the best four years of my
life. I have memories I will carry
with me forever and the strong
friendships I have established over
the last four years will last always.
So, whoever thought up this
quote, you really hit the nail on the
head.
The first day was spent greeting
new people and getting acquainted
Getting used to classes, the
screeches of trains behind Leo Hall
late at night and the playful noise
of the dorm floors made sleeping
next to impossible for me during
ed and the ability to juggle
schoolwork with parties was down
pat. Finally, you could consider
yourself a part of Marist College.

Amid the tabloids, an unexpected encounter
Most people have heard what happened to
me last weekend, but still, there are a lot who
haven't. So let me tell ya.
It happened Saturday around four o'clock
while we were shopping at the grocery store.
No, no, this isn't another grocery store
fiasco ... well, yes it is.
There we were, my roomie and I, waiting
in line reading about how 2 Live Crew have
-secretly been born again Christians and that
if you play their album backwards you can
hear the Lord's Prayer, when the lady in
front of us turns and says, "I see you boys
have inquiring minds. You better be able to
read fast, you're almost to the register."
We got talking about how her son was
graduating from high school this June and
how they were going to have to sell both their
cars and take a second mortgage on their
house if they were going to send him to some
college in New York next fall.
I tried to cheer her up by telling her the
joke about the guy at the end of the bar
drinking Maninis and she got a big laugh out
of that one. Then she asked us if we wouldn't
mind unloading her cart for her because she
had arthritis and it hurt her too much to pick
up the groceries.
Being the innately-good humans that we
are, we unloaded her groceries and noticed
that she also had some tempting items - pop
tarts, chocolate milk, and orange Pez. After
unloading her cart, we went back to reading
about the Christian rappers.
Our newfound old-lady friend wheeled her
groceries out of the store and over her
shoulder said, "Hurry up!"

"We will," I said, and we unloaded our
own pop tarts, Fruity Pebbles, chocolate
doughnuts, and other goodies onto the mov-
ing counter. I looked out the window and
saw our friend frantically run to her car and
then toss her grocery bags into the trunk of
her car.
"That's strange," I thought. "She didn ':
seem like she was in a hurry."
After checking through our last can o•
strawberry flavored Hi-C, the cashier lifted
her homely looking face and said, «That's
S86.91, please. Do you have any coupons?"
"Do you have any brains," I said. "Three
bags of food does not cost $86.91."
"Plus your mother's food. The total is
$86.91," she said.
I looked out the window and saw "mom"
fiddling with her keys at her car door like
she was being hunted. She was now.
I bolted across the store and ran after her
as fast as I could. I slammed into the
automatic door (those darn things never
open fast enough, do they?) Mom saw me
crush my cranium and knew she had a few
extra seconds. She threw the car into reverse
and sped out of her parking spot.
I stumbled into the parking lot and ran to
ca~ch up to her car. She was taking no
pnsoners. I caught up to her and started
banging on the roof of her car. She revved
the engine and peeled out just barely miss-
ing my feet with the back tire. I dove for
cover and she took off with the groceries I
helped her unload.
I got up and ran for my car. She was stop-
ped
at the red light at the exit. I got in my
beige Buick Skylark and started it up. I
pumped the engine with gas and all six
cylinders were ready to chase my backstab-
bing "mother." I pulled out and raced after
her.
I knew she was determined to get away
when she deliberately ignored the No Turn
on Red sign and her tires screamed as she
turned onto the main road. I was right after
her though; she wasn't going anywhere
without me on her tail.
She flew down the road, running stop
signs and red lights, and I stuck right on her.
"This lady is crazy," I yelled to myself. She
confirmed my thoughts when she swerved to
the very edge of the road to run over the
road-kills. She was ruthless. Then a kitten
just happened to be crossing the road up
ahead. She accelerated to squash bundle of
fur but it dashed out of the way at the last
second. I hit the brakes and the kitten was
saved from my becoming part of my
Goodyear tires.
It was just the break "mom" needed. She
pulled into an apartment complex, got out
of the car and bolted inside. I wa<-a couple
seconds behind and ran after her as 1 saw her
running for the elevator. She got in a push-
ed the buttons while I was almost there. The
doors started to close and I stuck mv foot
in the door.
•
Then she grabbed my ankle and started
pulling my leg. Just like I'm pulling yours
right now.

the war against Jraq.while also con-
centrating on using force in any
conflict resolution. The debate was
sponsored by the Political Science
Club and the North End Resident
Student Council.
Moderated by Professor Richard
Atkins, chairperson of the Division
of Humanities, the forum raised
various questions and concerns
about American motives.
Vincent Toscano, associate pro-
fessor of history, said he would like
to see the United States "strip itself
of its self-serving nature."
,Raising
the issue of oil, Toscano
said:
"Our
nation
is ag-
gressive
...
you can sell us the.oil so
long as you sell it at prices that we
say are acceptable."
Dr. Anne Davis, assistant pro-
fessor of economics, said she feels
one reason why President Bush
decided to go ahead with the war
is leadership - a very short-term
motive. "Bush is taking a leader-
ship position here," she said. "This
is a very short-term reason because
the cost of war along with the
deficit is going to become very
steep."
Dr. Louis Zuccarello, pr<;>f~ss~r
Atkins said he feels Americans
lack the ability to see a situation
from another country's standpoint.
"As Americans, we do not do
very well in stepping outside our
own culture and our own frame of
reference to see the world through
somebody else's eyes," he said.
"We tend to assume that people
who live in different ways are
defective when we should see that
these cultures are just merely dif-
ferent."
All speakers said they felt the use
of force could be less of an option
if Americans could learn to
see
situations from different angles.
"We think we're so moral but
we're really not," said Toscano.
"Once we get the courage to con-
front that, then there's hope."
But how can people become less
prone to violent si~uations?
"Maybe a kind of consiousness
can be communicated through
education of the bitter experience
we're seeing now," said Zucarello.

Lisa Smith gave away two hun-
dred dollars this past Tuesday.
Smith, a sophomore, is president
of Circle K - a student communi-
ty service group located at Marist.
The money was raised through a
rose sale on campus with the inten-
tion being to donate the money to
a worthy cause. According to
Smith, a good cause was not to
hard to find.
"Our
group (Circle K) is
associated closely with the local
Kiwanis chapter. They have done
a lot for our group over the course
of the past few years. It was nice
to give something back," she said.
Smith, along with student
volunteers from Circle K, decided
on giving the money to the local
chapter of Kiwanis for the purpose
of supporting Camp Kiwanis -
a
summer camp for area children.

Despite the full~time job as mail •
services supervisor· at the Marist
Post Office, the part-time job at
the Dyson Cafeteria and the
lifetime
job of raising two
adolescents, Barbara Kernes still
finds time to devote to the war in
the Persian Gulf.
Kernes has been cutting articles
from The New York Times and
pasting them to the two bulletin
boards outside the post office sirice
last semester.
"It's very important that the kids
know what's going on," said
Kernes.
Kernes arrives at 7:30 a.m. each
weekday morning and spends up to
an hour reading and preparing the
stories on red, white and blue
oaktag paper for public viewing.
With the war in the Persian Gulf
and its effect on the entire com-
munity, Kernes said she feels she is
is doing her part by providing the
updated information.
"If
people are well-educated on
a subject, then they will be.better
equipped to deal with it," said
Kernes.
When it comes to a subject as
serious as war, Kernes said, educa-
tion is very important because there
tends to be
a
lot of hearsay
involved.
"People
don't read a lot,"
Kernes said. "I feel The New York
Times has the best news update on
the crisis."
Another motivating factor in
Kernes' faithful supply of informa-
tion to the community is her Jewish
background. Although she has no
family in Israel, she said she feels
a scrong
bond with che terrorized
nation.
"As
soon as Hussein started to
send
SCUD
missiles to Israel, we
felt personally attacked as a fami-
ly,'' she said.
• In spite of her efforts to provide
dnily updates, Kernes admits she
lias noticed a change in student in-
terest towaras
IC.
During the initial stages of the
war, many students would stop and
read all the information, Kernes
said.
"Now, as the time goes on and
we're being bombarded with so
much information every day, I find
that it's not being read as much,"
she said.
She said she refuses to give up,
however, because it is always there
for those who are interested.
Also, as a college student herself
during the Vietnam War, Kernes
said she understands the difficulties
involved with concentrating on
school and focusing on war.

Despite declining interest, Kemes
said she will continue to post infor-
mation about the war until it is
over. The College Activities Office

plies she needs.
Kernes, who wears a button that

ed by the peace symbol, said the

it is virtually impossible to say
whether she is for or against war.

The Marist fashion program has invaded news_stands
and mail boxes
worldwide this month courtesy of Elle magazine.
The March issue of Elle, an internati?nally known f~hion n_iagazine
'th about 425 000 subscribers, mentions the college
s
fashion pro-
w:am on the se~ond page of an article called "Studying Style."
g
.
The story, written by Staff Writer_Sarah J:erguson, focuses on in-
teresting approaches to teaching fash1?n and is ~illed with anecod?tes
from fashion majors. Other schools mcluded m the two-pag~ piece
are the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, Parsons School of Design m New
York City and Rhode Island School of Design in Providence.
•
In the article, Ferguson wrote that the _fashion programs off~r
academic training and exposure to top designers with _an ~mphas1s
on creativity and an understanding of the ever fluctuatmg industry.
With these criteria in mind, Carmine Porcelli, director of the fashion
program, said Marist was included because st~de~ts have the oppor-
tunity to have their work critiqued by top designers such as Michael
Kors, Bill Blass, Mary McFadden, Bob Mackie and Carolina Herrera.
Porcelli also told Ferguson that his students have also inspired the
collections of several designers.
"It's a two-way street," Ferguson wrote. "Students have the op-
portunity to work with their idols, and the designers look to the kids
for fresh points of view."
Porcelli, former sports designer and coordinator for Oscar de la
Renta, says in the article that he teaches his students ~ot ~mly' the
technical aspects of fashion, but also how to become mspired.
"You need to go to Europe, visit museums, watch people on the
street," Porcelli was quoted as saying in the article. "I'm teaching
them (the students) sophistication."
Porcelli attributes the program's recent publicity to the Silver Nee-
dle Fashion Show, which shows off student work that has been guid-
ed by some of the nation's top designers. The annual event has been
held since Porcelli's took over the program
in
1987.
Marion McEnvoy, editor in chief of Elle, will be the master of
ceremonies at this year's show which will take place at the Mid-Hudson
Civic Center on April 25.

The men's volleyball team rais-
ed its record to 6-12 by defeating
Bard College 3-0 on Monday.
Marist handled Bard 15-5, 15-8,
8-15, 15-0.
Player-coach Tom Hanna said
that
his team
played
with
something it had been lacking all
year -
consistency.
"We took care of our side of the
net," he said. "We played good
defense
and were consistent
throughout."
John O'Brien led the Marist at-
tack with JO kills and four aces.
O'Brien,
a
sophomore, was filling
in for senior Terry Hosmer who
missed the match with a sprained
ankle s.uffered against RPI.
Hanna added 10 kills and senior
Arithony
••
Azarra dished out 33
assists.
Mark
Balkovich,
a
sophomore, also chipped in with
nine kills and two blocks.
Hanna
said
that
the
underclassmen saw action in the
third and fourth games.
"After losing game three, they
stepped up and did a nice job in
game four," said Hanna. "Some
of the action in game three could
be attributed to the fact that they
have never played together.
However, they stayed calm and
came back doing it bit by bit. You
could see them becoming relaxed
out there."
Saturday, the Red Foxes drop-
ped a 3-1 decision at the hands of
the University of Hartford, 16-14,
15-7, 13-15, 15-7.
Leading the way for Marist was

Azarra. The senior spear-headed
the attack by handing out 34
assists. Hanna also added 24 kills,

"Another reason that we did
well was that everyone made a
great commitement since the first
•
of the year and every single person
has been performing well," he said.
"They all have worked very hard."
VanWagner said his team had
•
prepared hard for the Champion-
ships. "There are teams that stress
the regular season," he said. "But
we put our focus on the champion-
ships."
.
Hartman also nabbed a top five
finish in the 200-meter backstroke.
Prauda finished in the top five in
the 50-metei freestyle and the
200-meter feestyle. Chris Loeffler
was a top five finisher in the
100-meter butterfly and Tummins
joined Prauda in the top five of the
200-meter freestyle.
The Red Fox relay teams were
also successful, winning four out of
five events. "This is the only part
of swimming that is really team
oriented, so I am pleased with that
result," said VanWagner.
After winning the Champion-
ships last season, this year's perfor-
mance pleased Van Wagner because
of the heavy losses the team suf-
fered from graduation.
"The loss of some key swimmers
last year, most notably Joe Bubel,
hurt
us,"
he said. "We
lost
our
depth that we had. We went with
only
16
swimmers this year instead
of 18 because of a lack of depth.
We needed more bodies, but I'm
very happy with the result consider-
ing the circumstances."

Lady cagers rolling,
face Wagner tonight
by
CHRIS SHEA
Staff Writer
•
The Lady Red
Fox
basketball
team needed no luck in cruising to
back-to-back 13-point victories last
week.
And Head Coach Ken Babineau
hopes his team won't need any luck
tonight either when his team faces
conference-foe Wagner in a crucial
game which will put the Northeast
Conference playoff picture into
clearer focus.
Senior
forward
Danielle
Galarneau continued her superb
play by scoring
28
points and
21
points respectively in wins over
St.
Francis (N.
Y .)
and Long Island
University. She was awarded NEC
co-player of the week.
The Lady Red Foxes' overall
record now stands at
14-IO
with
three games to go. The team is 9-5
in the NEC, good enough for
a
third- place tie.
Babineau said the two victories
put the team in good position to
challenge for the conference crown
going into the last week of the
regular season.
"The Wagner game is very
critical. Depending on our last two
conference games, we could end up
as high as in a tie for first or as low
as fifth," Babineau said.
Wagner recently upset Mon-
mouth and, according to Babineau,
they
are
playing
excellent
basketball.
"But," said Babineau, "we beat
them convincingly
on their
homecourt earlier this year in what
I felt was one of our best perfor-
mances this year. I'm hoping for a
• repeat but every game is different."
The Lady Red Fox squad had a
non-conference road game against
Brooklyn College on Tuesday,
however
the
results
were
unavailable at press time.
The Brooklyn game represented
-
-
a chance for vengeance on the part
of Marist. Brooklyn shocked the
Lady Red Foxes last year
59-55
at
the James J. McCann Center. Go-
ing into the game, Brooklyn had
not won on the road all year.
Coach Babineau said he definite-
ly reminded his team of the loss last
year, but he refused comment on
his exact words. He did add that
the Brooklyn team this year has im-
proved greatly from last year's
team and Marist can not afford to
look ahead to the Wagner game.
In the game against Long Island
held last Saturday, Galarneau put
on a free-throw clinic by hitting 15
of 16 shots from the charity stripe.
Although she shot only 27 percent
from the field
(3-11),
Galarneau
more than made up the difference.
Marist as a team missed only six
shots from the free-throw line
capitalizing on
30
of
36
attempts.
Charlene Fields added
10
points
10
the effort,
while Nan.:y
Holbrook contributed eight and
Kris Collins
seven.
Babineau was pleased with the
win but did not think his team
played to its fullest potential.
"We did what we had to,"
Babineau said. "We executed well
and when we went on
a
run they
could
not
keep up."
One week ago tonight, Marist
snapped an abbreviated two-game
losing streak by trouncing
St.
Fran-
cis (N.Y.) 71-58.
The Lady Red Fox defense held
perennial all-star Karen Erving to
only 13 points on 5-13 shooting
from the field in the win. Earlier
this season, Erving scored 27 point~
against Marist.
Six
different
Lady Terrier
players scored in double figures but
it wasn't enough to offset a
tenacious Marist defense which
forced 27 turnovers.
Collins notched 14 points and
Fields added another eight along
with four steals and four assists.

FEBRUARY
28, 1991
Season ends;
hoop ••
loses again
And so it goes.
by
MIKE O'FARRELL
. Sports Editor
The 1990-91 men's basketball season came to a close Tuesday night
i_n typical Red Fox fashion.
-
•
Marist, playing - and losing to - Monmouth for the third time this
season,
did
not get any bi:eaks. But that is how the entire season has gone.
Although the two earlier. losses were by six and eight points, respec-
tively, the margain of defeat for Marist in the quarterfinal round in the
• Northeast Conference was the sum of the first two, 14. The Hawks moved
on to the Northeast Conference semi-finals with an 81-67 victory.
Despite coming out and taking an early three-point lead, the Red Foxes
were beaten from the free throw line. Monmouth, which normally shoots
76 percent from the line - a figure which ranks them seventh in the na-
tion -
went to the line. 40 times and made 37, good for 92 percent.
. Marist, on the other hand, only attempted 11 free throws, connecting
on eight.·
•
The Red Foxes committed 27 fouls compared to Monmouth_'s 11.
At the end of the first half, Monmouth had been to the line 14 times
and the Red Foxes did not ·take any attempts.
''It bothered me at halftime," said Head Coach Dave Magarity. "We
were in good shape so I didn't say anything."
In the second half, Marist made its first trip to the charity stripe with
12:58 remaining in the game.
Coming into the game Marist wanted to stop All-NEC performer Alex
Blackwell who victimized the Red Foxes in the last meeting for 28 points.
Guarded mostly by Jason Turner, Blackwell was limited to just 11 points.
"We did a good job on Blackwell," said Magarity. "That was one
of the things we needed to do."
While shutting down Blackwell, the Red Foxes could not stop William
Lewis. The forward led Monmouth with 24 points -
12 coming from
the foul line.
In the first half, it looked as though Steve Paterno might have carried
the load. The senior scored 14 points in the first 20 minutes. However,
a knee injury and stingy defense by Andy Partee limited him to just five
points in the second half.
The Red Foxes' leading scorer on the year, junior college transfer Fred
Ingles, finished with 15 points on five of 12 shooting. Turner, while do-
ing a solid job on defense, chipped in with 10 points. Point guard D.cx-
ter Dunbar also played solid. The freshman tallied nine points and gave
out 10 assists.
Marist ends the season with a two-game losing streak. The Red Foxes
were beaten by Long Island University .77-74 this past Saturday in the
final regular season game.
The backcourt duo of Anthony Hogarty and Brent McCollin paced
Long Island. The tandem accounted for 51 points on 16 of 25 shooting.
Hogarty, who tallied 26 points on perfect eight for eight shooting,
single-handedly stopped a second-half Marist comeback effort.
Trailing by 13, 56-43, the Red Foxes went on a 9-0 run to cut the Long
Island lead to four, 56-52 with 8:30 left in the game.
Over the next four minutes, Hogarty scored the next 12 points for Long
Island to increase its lead back to 11 points.
Marist, however, refused to quit. With just 25 seconds left to play,
Bobby Reasbeck, playing in his last home game, buried a trifector from
the right side to cut the Long Island lead to two, 76-74.
After McCollin made one of two free throws, the Red Foxes had one
last chance to send the game into overtime.
After calling timeout to design a play, Marist inbounded the ball and
worked around to Paterno, whose three-pointer bounced off the rim.
Leading the offensive attack for Marist was Paterno and Reasbeck,
each finishing with 19 points. For Reasbeck, his 19 was a career best.
Ingles also added 18 points.
***NOTES*** ,
The end of the season also marks the end of four player's careers. Reg-
gie Gaut, George Siegrist, Steve Paterno and Bobby Reasbeck played
their final game in a Marist uniform ... Dexter Dunbar was named to the
Northeast Conference All-Newcomer Team and Fred Ingles was named
to the si;,cond
team All-Conference. Paterno finished his career with l ,204
points which places him in sixth place on the all-time scoring Jist ... Patemo
also started in 84 straigt games and played in all 110 games of his Marist
career.

Metropolitan Swimming and

ing Championships
this past
weekend.
·The Red Foxes, competing with
13 other teams, were not expected
to
as
well
as
they did. "We were
heavy underdogs to finish in the
top three," said Head Coach Larry
Vanwagner.
En route to the second place
finish, Marist shattered five school
records during the Championships.
Leading the way was Brink Hart-
man. The junior established thm:
new records. The junior set new
marks in the 200-mcter individual
medley, the 200-meter backstroke
and he broke his own record in the
400-meter individual medley.
Scott Tummins, swimming in his
last meet, tied the school mark in
the 50-meter freestyle with a time
of 20. 76 seconds.
Rounding out the Marist record
breakers was Chris Prauda. The
sophomore broke his mark in the
100-meter backstroke.
Hartman drew most of the praise
from his coach.
"Brink was the most outstanding
. performer,'' said
Van
Wagner.
"He
broke all of his records by more
than five seconds which is outstan-
ding.
He has matured
la,c,
physiologically. He changed his
mechanics and most of all, his con-
fidence is up."

Foxes tame Lions, reach

The hockey club improvep its
winning streak to three games
Saturday when it defeated Colum-
bia University 17-3 after just two
periods.
The win evens Marist's record at
7-7-1.
For the second time in as many
years, the Red Foxes forced the of-
ficials to use the mercy rule against
Columbia when they established a
10 goal lead after the second
period.
"We knew that Columbia was
weak because they are in the divi-
sion below us," said Coach Bob
Mattice. "For the first eight or nine
minutes we were playing individual
hockey but then they started to play
a solid garhe of skilled '1,ockey."
Led by four players with three
goals apiece, the.Red Fox offense
tallied
45
shots on goal.
Scott Kendall, a senior, and
Scott Brown, a sophomore, con-
tinued their offensive assault by
scoring three goals apiece. Kendall
also added four assists for a team-
high total of seven points while
Brown added one assist.
Freshman John Lloyd and Scott
Doyle, a junior, scored three goals
apiece for Marist. Lloyd was able
to score a natural hat trick - three
goals on one line shift. John's
brother Paul, ajunior, tallied five
points - scoring one goal and han-
ding out four assists.
• 8enior John Walker fired in two
goals while adding four assists and
Freshman Noel Smith and senior
Steve Waryas each added one goal
for the Red Foxes.
"This was a total team effort,"
said Mattice. "No goal was a real
individual performance. The guys
started passing the puck real well.
Every goal ,vas set up nicely ...
Captain Kevin Walsh said the
team had wanted to work on its
passing.
"V..
1
e tried to work on a finesse
game and utilize more passing,"
he
said. "We just played hockey and
didn't want to rub it in. We were
working on passing and other
fun-
damentals.''

Some ways to solve Cuomo's budget cuts
Recession. The Random House
Dictionary defines the word as
" ... a mild
but widespread
slowdown in business activity."
How do you avoid this problem?
Cut spending ..
In the last few weeks, we've all
heard about the budget crisis in
New York State and the effect it
could have on the budgets of in-
dependent colleges, like Marist.
How could Marist have avoided
this problem? Cut spending.
Late one Saturday afternoon
(after one late late Friday night), a
thought came to me about cutting
the college's budget.
Where you might ask? How about
its basketball budget? Marist could
have saved itself
$200,000
this year
by not awarding men's basketball
team scholarships.
Of course, this may have been
the aftermath of a Bacardi-induced
stupor and it may never work, but
it was just a thought.
With only six \\-ins under its belt,
the team may have been better off
with an all walk-on cast (no pun in-
tended Dave).
I've seen some intramural games
and there are·some flashy players.
I think Coach Magarity could have
formed a team from this group.
Granted, this year's schedule was
a grueling one and it did set the Red
Foxes back at the beginning.
However, my Intramural All-Stars
might have put together a six-win
season, too. Besides, they probably
could have beaten Brown.
This year's team was never able
to get going, mainly because of the
fact that there were seven new
players and it takes time to play as
a unit. It took time to learn the of-
fensive system.
That wouldn't have been a pro-
blem for my team. Put them on the
court and let them play. They don't
need a system. Heck, they might
not even know each other.
My team would wreak havoc.
Opponents would not know how to
defend it because of its unique
pla)ing style, ghing my all-stars an
immediate advantage.
My team doesn't have to watch
videotape
to
prepare for games
either. They just show up. That's
Thursday
Morning
Quarterback
MIKE O'FARRELL
just one of the price breaks Marist
would receive from with the Thurs-
day
Morning
Quarterback
Quotient ..
Let's look at some pros and cons
to my idea:
Pro:
Looking back at the
1990-91 season, it seems as if the
college may have dribbled a
$200,000 ball off its proverbial
foot. The money saved on scholar-
ships could have been used
to
im-
prove many different areas of the
college: The
Library,
Donnelly
Hall, parking space, etc.
Con:
By fielding a team of walk-
ons, Marist may face the problem
. of finding teams that take them
seriously.
Pro:
The college is facing huge
cuts in its financial aid allotments
due to New York State Governor
Mario Cuomo's proposed budget.
Why not take the bull by the horns
and cut some of that aid package
before the state makes us? Marist
could drop that extra $200,000 in
athletic aid. Hey, maybe we could
even have people pay a high
premium to be on the team.
Con:
Would a bunch of rich
jerks even know the rules of the
game?
Pro:
The argument can be made
that the college reaps financial
benefits well beyond that intitial
$200,000
athletic scholarship in-
vestment. But, if the O'Farrell All-
Stars took the court, the same gate
would be received without the
200-grand.
Con: How much fun would it be
to cheer for a team of nobodies?
Pro: Marist could use the money
it saves on the scholarships to book
a real band for Spring Weekend to
play McCann. Yeah,
REM
at
Mccann.
That's
something
I
wouldn't mind using my Marist
ID
to see.
•
Con:
Does anyone else like
REM?
You see, it's not that I mind wat-
ching the men's basketball team in
their "Unfortunate Season," but
it's just hard to imagine that, after
winning 17 games last year, this
team could only muster 'six.
This year's Marist squad was a
disappointment. After last year.
many· -
including yours truly -
thought this team would be even
better. That, however, wasn't the
case.
Could my team have had a bet-
ter record than 6-22? Who knows?
But would it matter? The onlY
thing I know is that Marist could
have saved itself
$200,000.
Now that I think about it, that
money could be used to serve
Bacardi at River Day.
