Peter G. W. Keen, the executive
director of the International Center
for Information Technologies, will
be the guest speaker at the 45th
commencement May 18, according
to Shaileen Kopec, acting vice
president
for
College
Advancement.
Keen, author of the best-selling
book "Competeing in Time," was
the keynote speaker of the Middle
Atlantic Association of Colleges of
Business Administration meeting,
which was hosted by Marist Col-
lege last October.
Along with a degree in English
literature from Oxford University
and masters and doctoral degrees
from Harvard Business School,
Keen will be awarded with an
Honarary Doctorate Degree of
Science at the commencement
ceremony.
The
degree will
recognize his achievement as an
educator, author and his ground-
breaking work in applying infor-
mation technology in the busi.11~ss
environment, according to Kopec.
Kopec said what Keen says will
have a great relevance to the entire
Marist community.
"He has an educational focus on
educating students for the future
which will be inextricably linked
with merging technologies," she
said.

In the next phase of the IBM-Marist joint study, officials will be hook-
ing up South end residents this summer with IBM ROLM telephones and
computer ports in each room for mainframe accessibility, according to
Mark Sullivan, executive vice president.
By the fall semester, approximately 1,064 students living in Leo,
Sheahan, Champagnat and Marian Halls will have a ROLM phone in
their rooms - with the added feature of phonemail, the built-in answering
machine -
as well as the capability to plug a personal computer into
their walls and sign on to the mainframe system, Sullivan said.
North End North End residences will not be hooked up until the sum-
mer of 1992.
Additionally, the college plans to offer approximately three or four
cable television stations to campus residents, according to Carl Gerberich,
vice president for information systems.
A satellite dish will be installed on top of Champagnat Hall to pump
cable television channels through the regular TV network on the cam-
pus, Gerberich said. The stations would include MTV,
CNN
and
ESPN,
he said.

digit number which each student punches into the phone when making
any long-distance call, Sullivan said. While one phone will be installed
in each room, the individual student will receive their own phone bill,
tabulated by the calls made using his or her forced access code, he said.
The basic charge for the phone will be incorporated into the students'
housing fee, Sullivan said, so throughout the semester they will pay only
for long distance calls made.
Access codes will be a confidential piece of information for each stu-
dent because it will work somewhat like a calling card, said Sullivan.
So with the code, a student will be able to make a long distance call from
any hall phone on campus, Gerberich ~aid.
Gerberich said the long distance service will be optional, and students
will be able to use calling cards instead of the forced access code if they
choose.

In January, seven months after
the Board of Trustees imposed a
system for salary increases based
solely on merit, the faculty sought
to redefine the term "merit" as it
is written in the Faculty Handbook.
Sullivan said the two sides did
progress in the language dispute,
but he said Nonon misinterpreted
it for a commitment.
The merit issue evolved last

working with the chairs to imple-
ment a system.
Murray said vanderHeyden will
evaluate the chairs.
But William Olsen, chair of the

about next year's contract either.

Support rallies for library improvement
by
CHRIS SHEA
Staff Writer
With the completion of the
Dyson Center and the nearly-
completed renovations of Donnel-
ly Hall, problems in the library
have become a top priority for the
college, according to faculty and
administrators.
•
A budget for the library that may
hit $1 million and increased facul-
ty input regarding library purchases
are two major ways the college is
attemp_ting to improve the library,
accordmg to Marc vanderHyden,
academic vice president.
Many faculty members and ad-
ministrators alike said they believe
problems such as a lack of books
' and study space must be addressed.
Although the school's accredita-
tion is not in danger, upgrading the
library is important before the
review by the Commission of
Higher Education of the Middle
States Association of Colleges.
"The library needs and can stand
improvement, but it has made great
strides in the past few years. We do
not feel pressured (by the accredita-
tion) in any accelerated way,"
vanderHyden said.
The college, however, is plann-
ing to complete the computeriza-
tion of the library before the ac-
creditation, said vanderHyden.
John McGinty, director of the
library, also said the library plans
to build up its traditional collection
of books by purchasing 6,600 titles.
The purchases will focus mainly on
the areas of British and American
literature,
a discipline which
McGinty said "is the library's
weakest point."
An increase in the library budget
makes the improvements possible,
said McGinty. (see accompanying
graph)
"It
(the money) comes at a
crucial time," he said.
The 1990-91 budget allocated
$940,794 for the library, up from
$834,974 in 1989-90. The 1990-91
library budget represented 2.74 per-
cent of the total Marist budget.
This was up from 2.48 percent the
previous year.
According to a report prepared
by the Library Development Com-
mittee, the average amount spent
by a college on its library was 3.8
percent of its budget.
McGinty said the accreditation
review is only one of the reasons

why so much attention has been
focused on the library.
The completion of Dyson, the
renovation of Donnelly and the
evacuation of Marist East were all
priorities that had to be ac-
complished before dealing with the
library, McGinty said.
The faculty has also become
more vocal on the upgrading of the
library, he said.
In a Middle States review held in
1981, an evaluation team pointed
out extreme problems in the col-
lege's library. The report stated:
" ... Serious deficiencies and
'holes' appear throughout the col-
lection and the annual book budget
for an institution with graduate and
undergraduate programs is totally
inadaquate ... urgent action is need-
ed to bring the library to the point
where it can adaquately support to
College's educational objectives."
The report stated: '' ... without an
adaquate collection of traditional
information resources, Marist will
have difficulty meeting the needs of
the
current
genertation
of
students."
McGinty, who formerly worked
in a similar position at Fairfield
University, said he was hired
specifically to upgrade the library.
"That was made very clear to
me," he said.
Although the Middle State's
reviews of the early 1980s were
highly critical - especially in tradi-
tional formats - the Marist library
has made strong gains in recent
years.
"The library used to be very
poor; there's no doubt about that.
But I'd like to think that now we're
in the top one-third of the group-
ings of schools we're usually com-
pared to," he said.
Two years later, another review
team from Middle States Associa-
tion examined the library. This:..

Anticipation, hard work peak for Icons class
by
MARJI FENROW
Staff Writer
Marist political science students huddled
together in a classroom recently, beginning
high-level government negotiations.
About six of them gathered around a com-
puter in the Margaret M. and Charles H.
Dyson Center, eager for word about their
latest proposals to countries like Finland,
Japan and Argentina.
These and more than 15 other nations are
linked together by a high-tee~ computer
Two weeks ago, Marist, which represents
French-speaking Belgium, began negotiating
issues like international trade, human rights
and the Persian Gulf War with other
participants.
For the first half of "Comparative Politics
of Western Europe," the class that deals ex-
clusively with the ICONS project, students
gathered information about Belgium and its
policies so they could accurately respond to
issues as actual Belgium officials would.
"The students are getting out of the
United States' view of the world. They are
now playing the role of a small country that

Throughout the negotiations, in which all
the countries involved are on-line at the same
time, University of Maryland controllers
keep the students on the right track and
determine when the discussions will end.
Christie Bailey, a senior from Liverpool,
N.Y.,
said the first conference, involving her
European
Commission
group,
was
successful.
"Marist looked good. Everyone agreed on
our proposal," she said. "Even though we
were the newcomers, we played a vital role
in (the conference)."

"I have been able to use what I've learn-
ed in a practical setting," she said. "In this
class, you have to find your own way of do-
ing things."
The ICONS project is also providing
Brother Joseph Beianger;s "Advanced

That ol' summer job search
Dear Resident Student:
Marist College will provide housing for students
who are enrolled in summer classes or involv-
ed in campus employment in the
F section of
the Gartland Commons Apartments.
Occupan-
cy for the summer will begin on May 27 and
remain available until August 15 the close of
the summer class session.
Registrations forms
for summer housing can be picked up in the
Housing and Residential Life Office, Campus
Center, room 270.
by
APRIL M. AMONICA
Staff Writer
Despite New York State's falter-
_ing
economy, summer employment
opportunities still exist for vaca-
tioning students, according to
regional employment experts. But
some Marist students say they ex-
pect to spend their summer scann-
ing the help wanted ads.
"Many students who are looking
are finding summer jobs," said
Nancy Moody, coordinator for job
placement and development at
Marist. "The applicants should be
more diligent and must put in more
leg-work this year," she added.
Last summer, the 35 Marist
students placed in summer jobs
• through her efforts earned a com-
bined total of more than $60,000,
she said.
But Marist students interviewed
recently tend to be less optimistic.
"Everyone feels the pinch,
especially agencies subsidized by
government funds," said Amy
Bedford, junior political science
major.
The American Red Cross Head-
quarters in New York City promis-
ed Bedford her old summer job
again this year, placing the
homeless in temporary housing
facilities. But she said, "They don't
know if they can afford to keep me
on the payroll yet."
Chris Destefano,
a senior
criminal justice major, echoed Bed-
ford's
concern.
"I'm
very
pessimistic. The state budget hiring
freezes are making it difficult for
me to find a job -
period," he
said.
Local temporary employment
agencies provide jobs for an abun-
dance of students and residents
throughout the year. EDC Temps,
one of the largest hiring firms in the
Hudson Valley, offers positions in
several facets of skilled and unskill-
ed labor.
"Hopefully, the economy will
bounce back." She blamed the
state's monetary problems on the
normal pattern of the business
cycle.
"We've hit a national low, but
the economy will pick up again,"
she said.
"All you have to do is look at the
unemployment rate. It's very ap-
parent that the northeast was hit
harder than the southwestern
states," said Sheryl Scanlon, vice
president of EDC Temps.
But there are summer jobs
available for students who start
their research early and "do their
homework,"
she said. Most
students want to start off at
management-level positions, accor-
ding to Scanlon. "You need to
work yourself up the ranks. Start
at a lower level but don't short-
change yourself," she advised.
The new dominant need is word
processing
skills,
said Lisa
Orszewski,
senior
account
representative for Kelly Temp
Agency, another predominant hir-
ing firm in the region.
The cost for housing is $70~00
a

WMCR: one month later
by
BARBARA JOYCE
Staff Writer
Tom Morgan was the first disc
jockey to go on the air after
WMCR went to the bottom of the
dial.
Morgan, the station's program
director, said he felt like he had an
audience for the first time.
''There is a new sense of profes-
sionalism since going on the air,"
said the junior from Madison, N.J.
Morgan said he started resear-
ching last spring to broadcast a
signal from Champagnat Hall with
the help of William Ryan, pro-
fessor and director of instructional
technology.
"We had the equipment; we did
not know the rules. Dr. Ryan got
a copy of the FCC (Federal Com-
munications Commission) regula-
tions and we discovered we could
operate at one-tenth of a watt,"
Morgan said.
The response to being on the air
has been very positive, according to
Ron Marli, a senior from Staten
Island,
N.Y.
"People really seem to like the
music," Marli said. "It's not what
they hear on commercial radio sta-
tions."
Senior Alicia Walker, from
Wolcott, Conn., said she the sta-
tion now receives about 10 requests
an hour compared to about one a
day before going FM.
Housing will be on a first come,
first serve basis.
The Marist community can now
listen to WMCR on 88.l FM and
without a cable hook-up.
WMCR hit the FM airwaves on
March 18 at 7:30 a.m., broad-
casting at one-tenth of a watt, ac-
The station needed to move to
88.1 so as not to interfere with
commercial stations, which would
have happened if they remained at
their previous frequency, 92.
In the future, the staff of
WMCR say they hope to gain more
space in Champagnat and to
broadcast live from such sporting
events as home basketball and
football games.

Town forces
annual Jam
to campus
With 300 hotdogs, 300 ham-
burgers, and a line-up of student
bands including Without A Clue
and Bad News on Saturday after-
noon, the residence staff of the
Canterbury Garden Apartments
thought they had the third annual
Canterbury Jam in the bag.
But after six weeks of planning
and preparation, Resident Director
Kelly D' Arey and her Residence
Assistants discovered Saturday
morning that they wouldn't be able
to hold the gathering - at least at
Canterbury.
The Town of Poughkeepsie
didn't tell D' Arey until Saturday
morning they were not going to
grant the required permit to hold
the gathering, spurring the Canter-
bury resident staff to switch the
jam to the Gartland Commons
Field.
"I was as angry as the students
were," said D'Arcy. "It was a pro-
gram that I had been working on
for a long time with my staff, and
it was dissapointing to us not to
have it at Canterbury."
Seniors John Coghill and Carl Allweir, members of 'Bad
News,' play at the Canterbury-tumed-Gartland Jam Saturday.
The Canterbury Jam is a spring
event with music, food anct ac-
tivities for the residents of Canter-
bury, both Marist and non-Marist,
D' Arey said. During the past two
years, the event has l:ieen held
without town approval.
D' Arey said Saturday's event at-
tracted more students than usual,
but only half were Canterbury
residents. Last year there were 350
people at the Jam. While the Jam
is open to all students, D' Arey said
it is primarily an event for the
Canterbury residents.
The Gartland Commons was
chosen as the alternate location for
the Jam over sites near the Hudson
River or behind Champagnat Hall
because bathroom facilities were
more accessible, and organizers
said they wanted it to be primarily
an upperclass event.

Career Development pushes
for an early job hunt
by
STEVEN SCHMITT
Staff Writer
It's time for freshman and
sophomores to start thinking about
getting a job after graduation.
This thought may send shivers
down the spines of those students,
but the Office of Career Develpo-
ment and Field Experience staff
believes it is true.
With that in mind, the staff of
that office are starting to encourage
underclass students to start hunting
for work much earlier than in re-
cent years.
"It's typical of students to wait
too long to start their job search,"
said Deidre Sepp, director of the
center. "We are giving students a
big push."
The center is offering a career
decision-making course open to
freshman and sophomores this fall,
and will hold the Marist Employer
Expo in October rather than March
to help students get a head start.
"A lot of employers have finish-
ed recruiting by February," Sepp
said. "The students don't have a
chance in March."
The one-credit, seven-week class
is designed to allow students time
to explore career options, Sepp
said. It is also intended to help
students who have not declared a
major to choose one by the end of
their sophomore year.
Sepp said the Employer Expo is
not just for seniors.
"The campus needs to be ac-
tivated," said Sepp. "Freshman
and sophomores have to see that
the employer program is as much
for them as the seniors."
"The expo can connect students
with employers and also help
(them) to get information," said
Sepp. "A lot of it is networking."
Sepp said although the expo in-
cluded employeers for all majors,
improvements can still be made.
"We are taking student evalua-
tions seriously," said Sepp. "We
see that we have to improve in the
areas of communications, com-
puter systems and psychology."
Sepp said building a career is a
lifelong process and students
should become aware of this pro-
c1.:ss
early.
"We arc trying to do what is
theoretically correct," said Sepp.

Six plane rides for $99?
Ask one Marist brother
by
JEFF SIMONSON
Staff Writer
Marist brother Donald Kelly is on board a Pan American flight to
Hawaii, smiling because he beat the system.
•
His plane ride to the island paradise was free. In fact, Kelly has flown
to Florida twice and Hawaii four times since Dec. 1989 -
and it only
cost him $99.
His good fortune began on December 26, 1989 when Kelly was waiting
to board a flight to Florida. The airport was chaotic, and his plane over-
crowded, so Kelly volunteered to give up his ticket. In return, Kelly receiv-
ed a free ticket for anywhere in the United States. He chose Hawaii.
In July, Kelly was using his free ticket for Hawaii. Once again the flight
was crowded, and he voluntarily gave up his ticket. This time he receiv-
ed a free flight for anywhere in the world.
Kelly has been giving up his tickets, and receiving free flights ever since.
He has acquired 13 free tickets.
Kelly has flown to Florida twice and Hawaii
four times -
and it only cost him $99.
Kelly is not hesitant to spread his good fortune with friends and fami-
ly. He has given tickets to Marist Brothers and his own brother. His tickets
have been used by them to fly to Germany, Argentina and Israel.
Kelly said the key to getting free tickets is knowing when planes will
be crowded. If the plane is crowded and you offer to give up your ticket,
the airline corporations will usually give you a free ticket.
Kelly said the planes are usually the most crowded on December 26
and Tuesdays through Thursdays in July. And noon is the best time to
book, said Kelly.
Free flights are not the only advantage to ghing up tickets, said Kelly.
If you are far away from home, the airline \\ill often
pay
for your hotel
and meals until you can get a flight the next day.
Kelly has three of his free tickets left. He plans to use his system to
get even more free tickets with them. In the meantime, Kelly says, "I'll
see you at the airport."
Pledge corks graduates' drinking
by
MICHELLE DIANO
Staff Writer
Members of the Class of 1991
will have to sign a pledge stating
they will not consume alcoholic
beverages during the lineup or dur-
ing
the
Commencement
Ceremonies on May I 8 in order to
participate in the exercises.
Students will not receive their
lineup cards necessary for the
ceremonies until the sign the
pledge, said Donna Berger, ex-
ecutive assistant to the academic
vice president.
If a student violates the policy
during the ceremonies, he or she
will be ejected from the ceremonies
and his or her diploma may be
delayed.
The statement, first implemented
in 1989, warns graduates that the
college's alcohol policy will be en-
forced, Berger said.
The policy says alcoholic
beverages cannot be consumed in
public areas on campus without the
permission
of the Office of
Students Affairs.
Berger said Marist officials
originally decided to enforce the
alcohol policy because the con-
sumption of alcohol contributed to
the lack of manageability during
the I 988 commencement.
"It
was the straw which broke
the camel's back," she said, who
graduated from Marist in 1985, a
time she said when the popping
open of champagne reflected a col-
lege tradition.
Since the statement was put into
effect, alcohol-related incidents
have not caused problems at
graduation. But Berger also at-
tributed the success of the past two
graduations to the change in
seating patterns and holding them
outside.
Some students in the past refus-
ed to sign the policy or pledge
because of the way the document
was worded. Marist officials met
with students to reword the pledge
and several clauses of the original
document were changed, Berger
said.
"I agree to abide by the alcohol
policy ... " changed to "I unders-
tand the alcohol policy."
Marist officials also deleted the
clause, "to ensure that the dignity
of this celebration is maintained."
Seniors interviewed said they
understand why a pledge needs to
be signed.
"This policy was made for the
people who will drink too much
and try to disrupt everything," said
Gerri Mwangi, a senior from
Nairobi, Kenya.
"Obviously
there was some
precedent that caused the college to
implement such a policy," said
Helen Zarouhliotis, a senior from
Lindenhurst, N.Y. "And if it
works, there is no reason why
students shouldn't sign it."
"We have River Day and Senior
Week to drink and get it out of our
system," said Eric Dunkel, a senior
from Parsippany, N.J. "Why do
we need to do
it
for the ceremony?
I don't want someone stumbling
over me and throwing up. I want
to have a better memory than
that."

Food for thought
In the editorial each week, The Circle discusses cur-
rent issues confronting the college community -
especially the students -
in an attempt to interpret,
explain, comment, or praise.
•
This week, however, the editorial staff has decided
instead to make some observations and pose some ques-
tions for you, the readers, to think about.
Consider the following:
• If college officials have been wasting $300 to $400
on mailings to faculty and staff each month for, say,
the past ten years, there would be an additional
$36,000-$48,000 in the college budget. That could pay
for one student's entire, four years:,at Madst. }letter yet, .. :. ,.
it could
slasli
$1,000

bill, •
a pretty figure when you consider Gov. Mario M.
Cuomo's proposed budget cuts.
• Is it really a good idea to provide campus residents
with cable television stations like MTV and ESPN, as
college officials have proposed to do this summer?
Maybe it will keep some students out of trouble. But
couldn't encouraging television watching in an
academic environment be dangerous, since many use
it to procrastinate'?
• Could the record turnout of voters (700 students)
for student government elections be due, in part, to
the strong competition for some of the offices, most
notably student body president'? If so, are students
becoming more concerned with who is representing
them to the administration?
;: : / '. --~
Tp.fr¢s.olution qf:t.he faculty contracts still remains

be
seen, and the school year is reaching its end. What
happens next fall?
• Can Marist College still call tomorrow's event River
Day when it is being held in a parking lot? In fact, it
isn't River Day anymore - it's the River Festival. And
what of the traditional mud and crud that once played
a key role? Good riddance'?
• The required signing of the alcohol policy for
graduating seniors may simply be preventative
medicine, but should seniors still be treated like
freshmen because of the actions of some loud graduates
at the 1988 commencement ceremony?
Letter Policy
The Circle welcomes all letters to the editor. Letters must be typed and in-
clude the author's name, address and phone number. Short letters are prefer-
red. Deadline is noon on Monday.
Letters should be addressed to Ilse Manin, c/o The Circle, through campus

and good taste.

Post--War trends
raise
many questions
Thinking
Between
The
Lines
CHRIS SHEA
As the last 40,000 American troops
withdraw from Iraq, ending
45
days of oc-
cupation, several disturbing trends are
developing.
Trend number 1:
The United States and its western allies are
wanning up to Syria and its president, Hafez
Assad.
This is outrageous. For decades, Syria has
been engaged in the same conduct as Iraq -
only worse. In case the Bush administration
has forgot, this is the same country that
bombed the Marine barracks in 1983. This
is the same country that has been sponsor-
ing terrorism, like the Achille Lauro hijack-
ing. And now we're talking openly and
diplomatically with the man solely respon-
sible for these actions?
The truth is, the west sold out to Syria.
In order to make the Gulf War coalition
stronger, western leaders believed Syria had
to play a part.
Even though Syria offered very little
military support, in return for its participa-
tion it was given absolution for all past ac-
tions and, even worse, it was paid off. Debts,
that ranged in the tens of millions, that Syria
owed to western countries were forgiven.
A direct parallel can be drawn between
Assad and Hussein. Don't forget, five years
ago we were supporting Hussein against the
Ayatollah Khomeni. Now we're supporting
Assad. Down the road, I have an uneasy feel-
ing it'll come back m haunt us as it did with
Hussein.
What the U.S. and its western allies should
have done originally was to sit Assad down
and say six little words:
"Shape up or you are next."
And if Assad didn't look like he was go-
ing to cooperate, the Allied coalition should
have instructed its B-52s and Stealth fighters
to "take a right at Baghdad and keep on go-
ing until you hit Damascus."
If that's what the U.S. had done, it pro-
bably would have saved us from doing it
down the road.
Trend number 2:
Iraqi refugees seeking to flee Saddam Hus-
sein will be prevented from entering Kuwait.
Sadly, as if there wasn't enough tragedy
and suffering in the Gulf War, nearly 30,000
Iraqi refugees are stuck in Southern Iraq at
the Kuwaiti border. These people own no
more than what they carry and they fear
retaliation from the Iraqi army if they return
home.
Kuwait, saying, "We can't afford another
problem," has refused to accept the legions
of people. The Kuwait government has cited
fear of sabotage by Iraqi sympathi:zers as the
main reason for denying access to the
refugees.
A more probable reason is the Kuwaiti
desire to reestablish a nation with as few
foreigners as possible. In the past, many ex-
perts in government and world politics felt
Kuwait always looked upon itself as elitist.
This seems to be reemerging again.
Trend number 3:
He forgot.
.
Lost amidst the chaos of diplomatic
negotiations, occupying forces and post-war
peace plans are the American hostages still
being held i~ Lebanon.
Terry Anderson, chief Middle East cor-
respondent for the Associated Press has been
in captivity the longest -
since March 16
1985.
'
That's
six
years, one month and two days.
Whc:n Anderson was captured, most
Marist students did not have their driver's
license. Many were not even in high school
yet.
In 1985, George Bush was vice president
and still viewed by many as a "wimp."
Mr.
Bush, if you could read this, I'd let
you know that you still are a wimp
to
me and
you always will be as long as those hostages
are in captivity.
I don't care how many wars you win.

Breeding ground for ignorance, not diversity
by
HELEN ARROYO
In August of 1990, I entered a Planned
Parenthood in the area to confirm a home
pregnancy test.
After the results came out positive, the
nurse, upon discovering I was a Marist Col-
lege student, asked me when I wanted to
schedule an appointment for an abortion.
So, as each day has passed, and I have
come a step closer to receiving a Bachelor of
Arts degree, I have become impervious to the
rude behavior of my fellow classmates and
the staff and administration who are suppos-
ed to be our role models.
live because I ,vas not woman enough to face
up to my responsibilities as a sexually-active
person?
The issue of pregnancy and abortion on
college campuses is one that needs to be ad-
dressed. Many larger colleges and universities
have support groups for women who find
themselves in my situation and don't know
what to do.
mentanes on the issue of providing condoms
for students. Once again, the morally-
conscious and upright citizens voiced their
opinions on abstinence.
Well, where has this parade of goodness
and perfection gone to while my baby has
been kicking inside me for the past five
months? Perhaps they are so busy spreading
their correct views that they don't have time
to support them in actions.
''
What really saddens
It became clear to me then that abortions
were the standard procedure here for
students who discovered they were pregnant,
but were committed to higher education.
Obviously, I have decided not to opt for
that choice, and now, in my ninth month of
pregnancy, I have fully come to realize that
Marist is only a breeding ground for ig-
norance, not diversity.
me ... students are leaving
with a set of values that
have no place or bearing in

times.''
The answer at this institution for higher
learning is to withdraw from school, go
home and hide in shame and let your parents
deal with it. This school has an image to
maintain.
Unfortunately for them, it is more impor-
tant for my future, and the $25,000 debt l

welfare.
Or maybe they forgot to add the clause
that they will only support those who follow
their beliefs if there is a wedding ring on their
fingers.
Every day, I have walked down the halls
of classroom buildings, conscious of the
stares, the gossip and the condemnation. It
seems that in order to be accepted
as
a "real"
student here, one must have obvious signs
of a hangover, and vicious displays of
amorous evenings hanging about one's neck.
Some -
actually many -
people have
asked me why I decided to keep my child,
when I have my whole life ahead of me, and
the potential to go many places. The only
response that I can make is: What about the
whole life this unborn baby could have
if
given the chance? Furthermore, why should
a human being be denied the opportunity to
However, I must give credit to all those
staunch advocates for life. Last semester, I
read articles written by men, who adamant-
ly stood up for life and condemned abortion
as immoral and inhumane.
What really saddens me, is that while
young minds come to these institutions for
an education and a broadening of their
views, they are leaving with a set of values
that have no place or bearing in these increas-
ingly diverse times.

Missing the point
Editor:
I think Brother Joseph Belanger
missed the point of Karen Cicero's
article, "Catholic Schools: Behind
plaid and penance."
Cicero stated in her article '' ... an
estimated 65 percent of Marist
students have had at least one year
of Catholic education." Somehow
Belanger,
in
.
his viewpoint
''Without catholic schools, educa-
tion suffers," interpreted this to
mean "Catholic
high school
graduates are only 29 percent of
Marist's
undergraduate
population.
Cicero did not state high school
graduates or whether the students
were undergraduates or graduates.
Cicero's article, to myself a
12-year veteran
of Catholic
schools, as to remind those who
went to these schools of fond
memories. Even those memories
that often remind one of punish-
ment or the trouble in talking about
sex, are funny when I look back.
Belanger seems to put Cicero on
the stake for making a few obser-
vations on people's experiences at
Catholic school. Let's remind him
that these were not generalizations,
but actual events. Catholic schools
are not sadistic or sex-haunted and
Cicero's article does not portray
them as such.
I think BeJanger went too far.
Cicero did not commit a crime,
as
the Los Angeles Police Department
did. She merely wrote an article
which was about school memories,
not minorities. The article did not
compare the educational standards
of Catholic and public schools. It
was merely a light-hearted reaction
article based on memories of past
days.
But Belanger's comment that
"Ms. Cicero is preparing her
dossier for job-hunting ... " is un-
fair. I believe an apology is in
order.

music
I
sat listening to James Taylor
when it hit me.
A rolled-up, smelly sock thrown
by my housemate clocked me right
across the head.
"You've been moping around
the house all day," he said. "Why
don't you get off your butt and do
something?'•
I gave him the finger. He beat
me up.
He was right, though.
I
was in
a mellow mood and the only way
to keep me in that state of mind
was to play James Taylor's
Greatest Hits about
400
times in a
row.
But, within an hour I was danc-
ing around the house in my skiv-
vies singing about "higher love."
Music can do that to you. It has
the power to cheer us
up,
to keep
us down, to make us jump and
dance or to make us jump off a
cliff.
Think about it. What's the first
thing you do after you start your
car? You turn on the radio. That
is,
if
you even turned it off in the
first place.
If it wasn't for music, 'driving
would be incredibly boring. The car
is your own private concert hall.
Your
head bops back and forth
as
you sing along and use the steering
wheel as your drum set.
At red lights, you shake your
head and scream at the top of your
lungs until you look into the car
next to you and find a bunch of
people pointing and laughing.
Busted.
Music also gets us in the right
mood for things- For instance,
what would Christmas be without
Christmas carols being played right
after Thanksgiving. And what
would Skinner's be without Steve
Miller, Charlie Daniels, Paul
Simon
and
Don
McLain's
"American Pie?"
The right song can send us into
a daydream
that
rekindles
memories long forgotten.
We
link certain songs to people
and events that
were,
at one time,
imoortant to us -
from sin ing
our ABC's in kindergarten to dan-
cing with our sweetums at the high
school prom.
Who doesn't picture Kermit the
Frog sitting on a lily pad in a
swamp when "It's not easy being
green,"
penetrates
the
sound waves?

But not all memories are fond
ones. It's heartbreakening to listen
to the radio just after you've
broken up with a girlfriend or
boyfriend.
You end up switching stations
until you finally come to one that's
not playing a love song, but even-
tually you put your foot through
the receiver and toss the cause of
your insanity out the second floor
window.
Love songs are about as frequent
as consonants in the alphabet.
And you can't escape them,
because music is everywhere. It's in
elevators, offices and shopping
malls.
In each place, the music serves
a different purpose. In the dentist's
office, gentle violins and peaceful
pianos attempt to soothe you and
calm your shaking nerves. But the
serene sounds are usually drowned
out by the piercing pitch of a drill
and cries of "Ah, thad wad my
tong you qwack!"
But in the shopping mall, your
not always aware of everything
you're hearing. In order to prevent
people from stealing, some malls
play music with subliminal
messages convincing shoppers to
keep their hands in their pockets.
However, that's not the only
message. I first questioned whether
or not this was ethical after I visited
a Victoria Secret store and bought
three bras and a pair of black-laced
panties.
At least the urge to shop faded
after I left the store. Some music
has a tendency to stick in your
mind and never, ever leave.
You know that you're constant-
ly repeating the same tune over and
over and over again, but you can't
shake it. Just as you realize that
you're humming it again, you slap
yourself across the face and try to
forget it.
But it creeps back into your mind
unknowingly;,. arid you happily
whistle the bastard· of a tune· until
you realize what you're doing. It's
like some kind of ancient Chinese
torture.
Unfortunately, it's always some
bee-bop song like Suzanne Vega's
"Tom's Diner." It's so simple and
stupid that it lingers in your head
for days.
Advertisers know this, and take
full advantage of it.
That's why you hear people
walking around campus singing,
"Two all-beef patties, special
sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles,
onions on
a
sesame seed bun." Or
"You got the right one, bay-?ay,
Uh, huh!" And how many times
have you hung up the phone and
mumbled, "Reach out, reach out
and touch someone."
But music has it's beneficial pur-
poses as well.
urug dealers usually have fun
selling all kinds of drugs in certain
parks. So, in order to put a serious
damper on things, Mozart is
blasted from huge speakers to keep
them out.
I
hear that's what they're plan-
ning for River Day.

Women on women:
Sta/ f off er female students
forum for concerns, goals
by
SHEILA McLOUGHLIN
Staff Writer
Post-college experiences, expec-
tations and aspirations of past and
future female college graduates was
the focus of a rountable discussion
last week among faculty, staff and
students.
"Social Options and Battles
(SOB) for Women," confronted
issues of career and family goals in
a social perspective, concluding the
seminar series "Women About
Women," which was organized to
address pressing issues facing
women of the Marist community.
A group of 18 members .of the
community attended the discussion
in the Faculty Dining Room to
share their concerns and hopes
about the changing roles of women
in American society. Five of those
attending were students. It was
sponsored by the Faculty /Staff
Women's Collective and the Office
of the Vice President of Academic
Affairs.
Professor of English Margeurite
Hefferon,
who
started
the
Women's Collective last year, said
the series was formed to address
female students' questions concer-
ning the future and their places as
women in it.
Hefferon said it occurred to her
this was an issue that needed atten-
tion after a female student asked
her how she manages· to balance
both career and family.
Hefferon said she realized that
on the Marist campus, "There was
no one to ask."
Barbar!_ Fries, a counselor in
Marist's Counseling <..:enter
and a
member of the Women's Collec-
tive, said the series was a success
in that it addressed all the pertinent
issues the group had wanted to
cover but said the lack of student
involvement
was
somewhat
disappointing.
Other issues discussed during the
series included women in the
workforce and the images of
women in advertising.
"I'm always wondering how we
can involve more students,'' she
said.
Fries said she believed part of the
problem is that students shy away
when the phrase "women's issues"
comes up.
"Students recoil and say, 'That's
not part of my generation,"' she
said.
Fries said she thinks society tends
to polarize everything -
that if
you're talking about women, you
must be against men, and that
scares some people.
"I don't know why that fear ex-
ists," she said. The series, Fries
said, was not about sexism.
It was about "expectations
within us (women) that will affect
our careers and our lives," she
said.
Fries said while stereotypes con-
fine both men and women, the
women have to struggle more with
the juggling of career and family,
and female students should have a
place to dicuss this problem.
There are plans to continue this
kind of seminar series next year,
although definite plans have not yet
been made.

MIPO continues polling success
by
KOURTNEY KLOSEN
Staff Writer
Twelve students in "Political
Parities and Pressure Groups" and
their professor, Lee Miringoff, sat
around a table in Fontaine Hall,
hand-tallying the results of a poll
they had conducted on the Dut-
chess County Executive's race.
It
was November, 1978, and the
pqll was a class project suggeste~
by Barbara Carvalho - an under~
taking which brought together 130
Marist students to interview over
700 voters at 100 voting sites.
The students' prediction of a
Democratic upset in a Republican-
dominated county came within one
percent of the actual results.
Lucille Pattison, still today the
Dutchess County Executive, won
the race, and since then, Miringoff,
Carvalho and Marist students have
continued to poll New York voters
and make election predictions.
Following that year, in 1979, the
Marist Institute for Public Opi-
nion, an independent non-profit
survey research program, took
shape.

Two poli sci students join
scholars to discuss Constitutio_n
by
APRIL M. AMONICA
Staff Writer
One of the most profound episodes in the annals
of American history occurred exactly 200 years ago.
Anti-federalists, such as Patrick Henry and Thomas
Jefferson, agreed to support the proposed U.S. Con-
stitution in exchange for a more balanced equation of
governmental authority and individual freedom.
The two factions reached a compromise, collectively
known today as the Bill of Rights.
The 22nd Annual Student Symposium, sponsored
by The Center for the Study of the Presidency, com-
memorated the bicentennial ratification of the Bill of
Rights and its effect in 20th century at the Hyatt
Regency Hotel on Capitol
Hill
from March 22-24.
Two Marist students were nominated by political
science faculty to attend the event.
An array of distinguished scholars and prominent
government officials shared their thoughts on
"American's Bill of Rights at 200 Years and the New
World Order" with over 500 national and interna-
tional participants.
Discussions covered such pertinent topics as the role
of political parties, federal and state rights, the Presi-
dent as Commander-in-Chief, judicial power and
minority rights.
Student members of the Center moderated the issue
panels which spanned the three-day convention.
Senior Stewart Sommerville has been an active
member of the Center for three consecutive years. This
time, he moderated a panel entitled "Public Security
and the Quest for Freedom and Security World-Wide"
and was chosen to be one of three counselors who
oversaw all student member activities and "kept the
center fellows in line," he said.
.
Vigorous debate over the interpretation and applica-
tion of the Bill of Rights existed in 1791 as it does to-
day. One of the issue panes!, "National Security and
Freedom of the Press," focused the discussion on the
U.S. government's program security review imposed
on all journalists reporting from the Persian Gulf area
during the conflict.
"The evening news serves as the window to our
world," said Robert E. Denton, Jr., professor of
political science at Emmanuel College. Television is
"an instrument of war" because its messages are im-
mediate, personalized and targeted. Program content
should be subject to intense governmenLl'eview in
times ol international conflict for nationai security
reasons, he said.
Charles W. Corri dry, defense correspondent for The
Baltimore Sun, served on the same panel and agreed
to the imposition of broadcasting limitations during
wartime provided that the U.S. government state a
justified reason for its actions.
The security review during the Persian Gulf war,
however, was unjustified censorship on behalf of the
American government, Corridry said. As such, it clear-
ly violated the press' First Amendment protections,
•
he said.
David Mack, assistant secretary of state for Near-
Eastern and South Asian affairs, discussed President
Bush's proposal for a "New World Order" based on
freedom, justice and international law.
The establishment of prolonged security ar-
rangements in the Persian Gulf area to thwart further
attempts of aggression is America's "number one
priority," according to Mack. The united coalition
"must show Saddam that his way of doing business
must fail," he said.
Corridry presented the media's overall perspective
on "New World Order" with Anne Reilly Dowd,
associated editor of Fortune magazine, and Kenneth
Walsh, senior editor of U.S. News and World Report.
The participants concluded that as Chief Diplomat for
the United States, President Bush strengthened his goal
of achieving a "New World Order" through his leader-
ship in the Persian Gulf crisis.
The honorable Warren E. Burger, retired Supreme
Court Justice, stressed the importance of the Bill of
Rights in the 20th century. The first ten amendments
imposed unprecedented limitations on state and federal
authority in restricting individual liberties, he said.
Gordon Hoxie, former President Eisenhower ad-
visor and Center President for over 20 years, organized
this year's symposium in accordance with the criterion
established by Eisenhower, who encouraged the
Center's founding.
Eisenhower stressed that the panel should be
"characterized by accuracy, objectivity and perspec-
tive." The program enables students, both young and
old, "to gain a better understanding of our Constitu-
tional principles" and address both national and in-
ternational events, according to Hoxie.

St. Peter's handled Marist easi-
ly, 7-1. Winning the lone match for
the Red Foxes was Halloran, who
won 7-5, 7-6 to raise his individual
record to 6-0.
"I didn't want us to leave

ponent had a great serve and I just
played it point by point," said
Halloran.
Marist was overmatched versus

Behind the scenes
for Opening Day
by
JOHN DEARDEN
Staff
Writer
Dwight Gooden wiped the sweat
from his brow and at 3: l3 p.m.
April 8, started the New York
Mets' season with a 90 mph fastball
to
Lenny
Dykstra
of
the
Philadelphia Phillies.
Gooden and the Mets defeated
the Phillies 2-1. Hubie Brooks theft
of home plate on the front end of
a double steal, proved to be the
winning run. It was the fourth
Opening Day win for Gooden in six
attempts.
On this day, the game itself was
only part of the Opening Day
festivities.
At noon, the Mets took the field
for batting practice: first the pit-
chers, then the non-starters and
finally the starters.
The pitchers engaged in a
homerun hitting contest - nobody
went downtown, although Gooden
came close several times -
the
non-starters kept track of hits in
terms of base hits and the starters
just took their hacks knowing the
real thing was soon to come.
Tim Teufel missed several turns
in the batting cage because he was
doing interviews. "Hey Tuff, ya
want to do news or play ball," said
Keith Miller as he put a dip of snuff
in his lower lip. "Tuff, Miller's
taken all your pitches and hittin'
ropes," kidded Howard Johnson.
Watching
catcher
Charlie
O'Brien take balling practice
makes you understand why he hit
.162 last year.
But,
Dave
Magadan's sweet stroke makes up
for O'Brien.
As balling practice came
10
a
close, former Met Lenny Dykstra
-
with a wad of chewing tobacco
almost as big as his biceps - came
lo chat with some of his old play-
ing mates.
The chat soon turned into a
boast-athon
and ended with
Dykstra saying, "Watch me hil
.400 this year, dude."
As game time approached the
sell-out crowd first had to sit
through the pre-game festivities.
The U.S. Marines displayed
what was billed as the biggest hand-
held nag in the country during the
national anthem.
Radio announcer Bob Murphy
introduced the Phillies and televi-
sion man Ralph Kiner announced
the Mets. In typical mid-season
form, Kiner forgot to introduce pit-
cher Wally Whitehurst to the
crowd.
When Whitehurst was finally in-
troduced, he received the biggest
ovation of the day.
After all the hype, it was finally
time to play ball.
There is nothing quite like Open-
ing Day at the ballpark.

Laxmen increase win streak to four games
by
MIKE O'FARRELL
Sports Editor
Tomorrow, the lacrosse team
will try for its fifth straight victory
when it travels to take on SUNY
Maritime.
The Red Foxes improved their
winning streak to four games on
Tuesday by handing Siena College
a 15-10 defeat at Leonidoff Field.
Marist now has an overall record
of 5-7.
In the first quarter, things did
not look good for Marist.
Despite taking a 1-0 lead on the
first of John O'Brien's four goals,
the Red Foxes then gave up four
unanswered goals.
Head Coach Tom Diehl said his
team did not come out strong.

well," the first-year coach said.
"But then we started to believe and
play well."
Things started to change in the
second quarter, however.
After trailing 4-2 at the end of
the first, Marist scored five times
in the second. The Red Foxes tied
the score at 5-5 with 5:09 left on
O'Brien's second goal of the game.
O'Brien, just 26 seconds later, put
the Red Foxes on top for good, 6-5.
Sophomore Joe Doyle also tallied
two goals in the quarter while
junior Chris Retcho added one to
pui: Marist on top 7-5 at halftime.
The second half started much
like the first one with Siena scor-
iJ!g three of the first four goals.

clock later, Paul Tamboia, a
junior, took the face-off and rac-
ed toward the goal uncontested
before making the score 11-8 after
three quarters.
Senior goaltender Rob Novotny
came up big in the fourth quarter.
Thi! co-captain made two big saves
at the beginning of the quarter and
played solid throughout
the
quarter.
At the 5:51 mark, the Red Foxes
pulled ahead 12-8 on a Chris Cor-
win goal. The senior defender took
a pass at midfield an~ went in by
himself for the easy goal.
After Rob Naylor put Marist up
13-8 with just under five minutes
left to play, Siena mounted a
comeback.
The visitors cut the lead to three,
13-10 with 3:42 left. However, they
were unable to keep possession of
the ball for the remainder of the
game.
Marist, on goals from O'Brien
and Brian Banigan, wrapped up the
scoring with four seconds left in the
game.
Diehl credited the offensive ef-
fort of O'Brien, who along with his
four goals, tallied three assists.
"He capitalizes
on oppor-
tunities," said Diehl. "In our
system, there is no 'go to guy.' He
just made the most of his chances."
Despite the four game winning
streak, there is still room for im-
provement, according to Diehl.
"I still don't think we play 60
minutes of lacrosse," he said. "We
can't waste time on the field."
The coach did say he is pleased
with the progress of his squad.
"We started to get away from
basics," he said. "But, we are go-
ing in the right direction. There are
no surprises, they are starting to
show some character. I just hope
we continue playing like we are
capable of."
Following tomorrow's game, the
Red Foxes will be on the road
against SUNY Albany on Monday.
Wednesday, Marist will travel to
Pennsylvania to take on LeHigh
before finishing up the season at
home against - Southampton on
April 27.

it.
With the warm weather, students
looking for relaxation disguised in
a good workout have abandoned
their cars or given up their runn-
ing shoes in favor of pedaling.
They're taking their bikes on
trips around Marist, and are even
wandering off the campus to
historical sites and malls.
"There are many historical sites
in riding distance of the campus,"
said sophomore Thomas Samson.
«Both . the• Vanderbilt-. and
Roosevelt Estates have trails in the
•woods, and it is great to ride
there."
Samson said pedalling relaxes
him.
"It's good just to get away once
in a while," Samson said. "It's a
real tension breaker."
Sophomore Bill Lovelace echoes
Samson's comments. Citing the
scenery and atmosphere it provides
for the rider, Lovelace said the
Vanderbilt Estate, located on
Route 9 in Hyde Park, is one of the
best places to go.
"When you are riding and look-
ing at the buildings, they are
huge," Lovelace said.
And for those in search of more
fattening scenery, a bike will also
do the job.
Lovelace likes to take his bike to
local
malls,
especially
the
restaurants.
"The local fast food places are
also only a couple of minutes away
on bike."
Bu·t Lovelace cautions that you
don't have to venture outside
Marist to enjoy biking.
"When you stop to look, it really
is a great campus," said Lovelace.
"It also allows you to get around
campus quicker whether it's the
McCann Center or Champagnat
Hall."
"Of course it is great exercise,"
said Lovelace, "but I ride a bike
just because I find it as an easy and
affordable way to get around."

For another quarter, I could
have had Ken Griffey, Jr. I passed
on him though. It was too early to
pay $4.50 for someone.
I'm talkin' baseball here - fan-
tasy baseball. If you thought the
real thing was fun, then try fantasy.
Saturday, my fantasy league held
its annual player auction. This
is
an
event. Myself and 10 other baseball
fanatics gathered around Mom's
dining room table to play general
manager.
There are eight teams in our
league -
named after baeball's
easiest home run, Margo Adams -
and we comprise our teams of
American League players only.
Each team consists of 23 players
-
9 pitchers, two catchers, five
outfielders, a designated hitter and
six infielders.
There are no actual "games"
played be-,ween teams in our
league. Standings are based on
eight statistical categories -
four
offensive and four pitching.
Batting average, home runs,
RBI, and stolen bases are the of-
fensive categories. Wins, saves,
ERA and walks plus hits, divided
by innings pitched are the pitching
categories.
The scoring is simple. For exam-
ple, the team with the most stolen
bases gets eight points, the second
most receives seven and so on.
Then, the standings are tabulated
by the amount of points earned in
the different categories by each
team. The season runs from Open-
ing Day until the end of the regular
season.
As the season goes on, we are
just like general managers. We
trade players, replace injured
players with free-agents and even
put players on waivers.
There were some big names

The Red Foxes had a chance
to tie the match at two, but

ding lead in the fourth game.
"In the fourth game we were

blew it." "It's been the same
story all year, we just couldn't
finish them off."

spend that early in the draft. In-
stead, I figured my team would be
better off saving the money for
later.
Erik Hanson, the Seattle staff
ace, became mine for a mere $3.00.
I also added Chris Bosio and the
injured Mark Gubicza to my rota-
tion. Gary Gaetti and Mickey Tet-
tleton, who I picked up for
reasonable prices, should help my
Power numbers.
However, I needed more. Im-
mediately after the draft, I made a
trade. I sent Luis Sojo, Franklin
Stubbs, Duane Ward, Steve Farr
and the rights to Tino Martinez for
Rafael Palmiero, Harold Reynolds,
David Wells and Mark Williamson.
It was a good deal for both teams
-
especially mine.
I still have some holes in my
team, i.e. Matt Young and
Glenallen Hill, but I'll
be
alright.
I really had no desire to get Matt
Young. I figured since his move to
Boston, someone would bid higher
than me. I
was
wrong.

Chris Shea is the league's defending
champion. However, after Satur-
day, it doesn't look like he will
repeat. Despite having one of the
best staffs in the league, Shea need-
ed some help in the outfield to sup-
port Jose Canseco. To do that, he
drafted Danny Tartabull, Dante
Bichette and Luis Polonia - three
good players,
but not good
enough. Shea also filled his infield
with injury-prone veterans George
Brett and Don Mattingly.
It's not easy drafting a team. A
good owner has to
be
half gambler
and half psychiatrist. It's not easy
spending $2.50 on Alex Fernandez
-
just ask Shea. He thought the
rookie pitc~e~ would
be
taken by
the owner s1ttmg next to him wear-
ing a White Sox hat. He was
wrong.
Fantasy baseball is not just a
game, it's a religion.
