MARIST COLLEGE, POUGHKEEPSIE,
N. Y.
APRIL

Next year's tuition decision to come in May
by
BARBARA JOYCE
Staff Writer
While tuition figures are general-
ly decided by this time, the board
of trustees has put off the decision
due to economic factors, according
to Anthony Campilii, chief finance
officer.
The board is expected to decide
on a tuition increase at their
meeting May 4, Campilii said. Fac-
tors like the economic condition of
the country, state and student
market are being considered, in ad-
dition to the proposed New York
state budget cuts, he said.
Although Marist has no set
policy toward tuition increases,
Campilii said the administration
tries to adopt a philosophy of keep-
ing within the average range of
higher education.
Tuition, room and board for
full-time students during the
1990-91 academic year was increas-
ed 7.3 percent to $13,190. During
the last four years, tuition has in-
creased an average of 5 to 8
percent.
Financial experts predict an
average tuition increase between
seven and eight percent nationally
this September.
Within this average some private
colleges are choosing not to raise

their tuition while many state
schools are facing double-digit in-
creases, according to The Chroni-
cle for Higher Education.
A 40 percent increase in fees to
$2,270 is proposed at the Univer-
sity of California and a 20 percent
increase is scheduled for resident
students at the University of the
District of Columbia to $720.
Except for public two-year col-
leges, the tuition at universities and
colleges nationwide has risen faster
than the Consumer Price Index, a
common measure of inflation,
through the 1980s, according to
financial experts.
Raising staff and faculty salaries
and increasing the amount of
financial aid offered to students are
two priorities for balancing next
year's budget, said Campilii.
About 85 percent of that budget
comes from tuition and fees, and
to compensate for increases in
faculty and staff salaries, tuition
has to be raised, Campilii said. •
"It
is a never-ending spiral,"
said Campilii. "Salaries are half of
our (spending) budget. We are
labor-intensive; as salaries increase
so must tuition."
Financial aid packages for
students are also expected to in-
crease, but the cost will also be
passed on in a tuition increase.
About 70 percent of Marist
students receive financial aid, said
Kevin Molloy, director of financial
aid. That number is also expected
to increase, he said.
"There has been a dramatic in-
• crease in the number of people ap-
plying for financial aid in last
year's freshman class and the in-
coming freshman class," said
Molloy.
Marist offers merit scholarships
based on academic performance,
grants-in-aid based on financial
need and athletic scholarships, the
only full scholarships· offered at
Marist.
Students with lower GP As
face possible financial aid cuts
by
PETER M. O'KEEFE
Staff Writer
Marist students in the bottom 10
percent of their class may have to
shape up, take easier classes or risk
losing their federal student aid,
if
President Bush's budget proposal
passes through Congress.
The proposal, which was made
this past February, would eliminate
federal aid for an students in the
bottom 10 percent regardless of
whether they were in good
academic standing.
At the same time, the proposal
seeks to reward good students by
increasing the amount of Pell
Grant money available to those in
the 'top
20
percent of their class.
"It
is a classic case of rewarding
the individual with the proper tools
to excel earlier on in college," said
Chris Plaushin, a legislative cor-
respondent with Sen. Daniel
Patrick Moynihan's office, "while
taking away from the one who may
be having a harder time adjusting."
Kevin Molloy, director of finan-
cial aid at Marist, agreed that peer
and family problems coupled with
the troubles of adjusting to a new
environment
are often non-
academic factors that put students
into the bottom 10 percent of their
class. With approximately 70 per-
• cent of Marist students receiving
financial aid, the impact of such a
proposal would be serious.
Both said they believe the pro-
posal has Uttle chance of making it
through both houses of Congress.
According to a recent article in
the Chronicle of Higher Education,
the president's plan is to promote
"greater accountability" among
students while weeding out those
who are receiving aid and not pro-
ducing the grades. Currently,
students need only maintain a 2.0
grade point average to stay eligible
for aid.
Critics of the plan say it will en-
courage students to take less
challenging programs for fear that
400-level courses will hurt their
chances of maintaining federal aid.
Brighter students may be inclined
to enroll in less rigorous colleges
for the same reasons.
April Amonica, a junior who
ranks in the top third of her class,
would not be affected by the cuts
but said she is against what they
represent.
"It
is so elitist," she
said.
"It
excludes students from a
lower socio-economic background
from pursuing an education," said
Amonica,
a
communica-
tions/political science major from
Emerson, N.J.
But Thomas Raleigh, a senior
who has financed his his own
education through loans and jobs,
said the president's plan may not
be all that bad. "The president is
trying to tell those who have been
taking the taxpayers' money and
spending it at the local bar that the
party is over,"· Raleigh, a
c9m-
munication major, said.
Others, like Plaushin, said they
believe the president's plan may be
politically motivated to appease
those who believe aid is being
wasted on low-achieving students.
Molloy said the government's
use of the 10 percent cutoff was ar-
bitrary and the plan would affect
thousands of students at some
schools. "Look at the University of
Wisconsin, which has 82,000
undergrads," he said. "You're go-
ing to take 8,000 people off of
federal aid?"
He added that the proposal goes
directly against what financial aid
was traditionally meant for: open-
ing doors for everyone, not limiting
success to what one person believes
it is.
Financial aid officials are also
urging students to monitor congres-
sional action on changes in the
Education Act of 1965, which has
been a major source of federal aid
for students.
Molloy said the proposed
changes are designed to streamline
aid application procedures and
create
additional
funds
for
students.
Fashion from student designer's perspective
by
APRIL M. AMONICA
Staff Writer
On a typical Friday night in
Donnelly Hall, the only companion
you 'II find is the echo of your own
footsteps
racing around
the
deserted corridors. That is, unless
you're a fashion student.
"God,
I just wanted to be a
Spanish teacher and have the sum-
mertime
off,"
says Shelley
Sutherland, one of the student
designers in Carmine Porcelli's
fashion program.
But for Sutherland, a desire to
master Spanish was what original-
ly enticed her to pursue an educa-
tion at Marist. But with an interest
in
fashion,
her
creativity
developed, and she
was
encourag-
ed to continue in the fashion
department.
"It's hard to find a school that
offers both fashion and Spanish
concentrations," said the junior
from Hebron, Conn.
Last year, she was the recipient
of the Fashion Program Scholar-
ship, and tonight she will receive
two Silver Needle Awards at the
1991 Silver Needle Fashion Show
in the Mid-Hudson Civic Center.
"This week has been hell,"
Sutherland said as she quilted the
lining of her swing coat. "But the
fashion show makes it all wor-
thwhile," she added.
The chartreuse creation is just
one
part
of six outfits Sutherland
has designed and created for
tonight's show.

dent ideas and have worked in-
dividually with each participant to

age. Professional designers Bob
Mackie and Marc Jacobs will pre-
sent the Silver Needle A wards to
Sutherland and other winners
tonight.
"I honestly didn't think I was
going to win .. .l'm very honored
because out of all the talented peo-
ple in the fashion department they
picked me," Sutherland said. "It's
an awesome feeling."
Sutherland's satin fuchsia shirt
dress and beaded evergreen tie was
selected by Jacobs for one of the
awards. Men's clothing designs in-

Sutherland has paid off with two
Silver Needle Awards, she admits
being a fashion major is sometimes

said.
"It's very, very stressful," said
Yvonne Mywangi,
a junior fashion
major from Brooklyn.

But once inspired, Sutherland
said she can't get her thoughts on

Death has always been a
mystery.
At one time or another in peo-
ple's lives, they always ask the
question: "I wonder what happens
when you die?"
Albert Brooks newest movie,
"Defending Your Life," just may
have the answer.
Judgment City is a pit-stop for
those who have recently died. A

are
judged
to either move on
presumably to heaven (the film
never specifies), or go back and
relive life with less fear because, it

to move on. For those who show-
ing excessive fear, they must go
back.
"Defending Your Life" is a very
engaging comedy about what could
happen when you die. Brooks is
very funny as the lead character
playing Dan as a basically decent
man who made some mistakes in
life.

Whaddya mean it's closed?
CSL monitors clubs
with little activity
by
BETH
CONRAD
Staff Writer
Clubs that have not sponsored the required two activities from last
fall, may have their charter revoked by the Council of Student Leaders
(CSL), said Kevin Desmond, president of the student body.
Some of the clubs being reviewed include Amnesty International, Gaelic
Society, Society for Human Resource Management and the Social Work
Association, Desmond said.
Although final decisions have not been made yet, some sort of action
will be taken, he said.
For a club to be considered inactive, it has not sponsored activities,
possessed no financial records and failed to turn in priority points for
its members, said Bob Lynch Coordinator of Student Activities.
Clubs and their advisors already have been notified they may lose their
charters, said Desmond.
Since word got out of the possible cuts, clubs have become more ac-
tive, said Lynch.
Desmond said some clubs appearing inactive, really are involved in
programs. They just haven't filed the appropriate paperwork showing
it, he said.
When the two required activities arc not done, clubs first receive aver-
bal warning, then a written warning, and finally the charter is revoked,
said Financial Board Chair Ray Roy.

Lynch said he can usually tell when a club is on its way to becoming
a dead club. He said it happens when all of the officers are seniors and
they haven't taught the underclass members what it takes to lead the club.
"We need to encourage seniors to work with the underclass to
see
what
leaders can take it over," Lynch said.
Lynch is currently working on a leadership manual for the clubs with
Steve Sansola, Assistant Dean for Student Affairs.
The manual will help clubs to organize themselves and give informa-
tion on handling finances, the budget system, and social events, said
Lynch.
We're trying to prevent clubs from becoming inactive and then saying
they didn't know how things worked, Lynch said. The manual spells

Car repairs? Try small shops with low prices
by
MICHELLE DIANO
Staff Writer
When Julie Goss couldn't get her
Ford Mustang started, she called a
local auto repair shop to get it
fixed .
After examining the car for no
more than a few minutes, they told
her she needed a new battery and
charged her $80.
The next day, her car wouldn't
start again. This time, they pulled
apart the dashboard and found it
was really a fuse problem.
Many people like Goss, a senior
from Simsbury,
Conn.,
find
themselves getting ripped off by
auto shops. In fact, 849 complaints
were filed last month with the
Department of Motor Vehicles for
fraudulent car repair service.
Although students are not par-
ticularly picked out as victims, they
do tend to have a greater need to
get their cars repaired, said Jon
Van Vlack who works for the
Ulster County Consumer Affairs
Bureau.
"Students have more of
a
finan-
cial restraint than older people do,
which leads them to have cars that
are not in tip-top condition and are
more likely to need repairs."

was made on July 13, 1990, that Marist's
ROTC would close at the end of the Spring
91 exercises.
The official reason given for the phasing
out of the program was because of budget
cutbacks.
Terrence I. Wing, 21, of Queens, New
York and Christopher A. Russell, 21, of New
Milford, New Jersey will also graduate with
Abramson.
Abramson, a business major, v.ill leave for
active duty after graduation, specializing
with artillery like the Patriot missile in the
Persian Gulf War.
"What the soldiers do is go through of-
ficer basic courses and v.ill specialize in a
specific field," Abramson said.
"I'll be specializing in different weapon
systems and shoot (objects) out ~f t~e sky."
Russell said between your Junior and
senior year, the ROTC takes ROTC grades,
grade point average at Marist and the
soldier's performance rating from summer
training before senior year to decide how he
and his colleagues will be stationed.
Russell said an order merit list tells each
candidate whether or not the soldier will be
in active duty or on reserve.
All three seniors are going in active duty.
"Up until January (1991), I had to get an
accounting job and usually there is a 75 per-
cent chance of preparing for active duty,"
Russell said.
"It
does not go by personal
preference."
Wing, a communication arts major, said
the army changed him and was "an asset to
all respects" because he believed he was more
disciplined.
"I would not like the relaxed and easy-
going attitude of drinking and sleeping all
day," Wing said v.ith a grin.
"I v.ill try to pursue a career in military
intelligence," Wing said. "I would most like-
ly get four months of training in Georgia,
going into Ranger and Airborne school."
Wing also wrote "Vows;· a one-act play,
performed in the Theatre on April 16 in a
one-night only showing.
Wing wrote the play for Professor Gerald
Cox's "Theory & Practice of the Theatre"
course and said it was "physical strengthen-
ing."
Sergeant First Gass Manuel T. Regalado,
the first Senior Instructor at Marist since
March of 1988, said the three seniors had to
have a good sense of humor in their train-
ing, adapt to their surroundings and not be
uptight when the commanding officers yell.
"Once you join the ROTC, the first thing
we do is get you off balance and try to make
the soldiers laugh at themselves," Sn?t.
Regalado said.
"We
have to get rid of
the
ci\ilian mentality and turn them into
soldiers."'

THE CIRCLE, APRIL
25, 1991
Late start, other problems
delay yearbook 'til summe
by
NOELLE BELOIN
Staff Writer
Due to a late start in production, the Marist Yearbook, The Reynard,
won't be out until after graduation.
The yearbook, usually given to students before leaving in May, will
be mailed to everyone at home this summer.
The Marist yearbook didn't put a staff together until December, which
was too late, said Bob Lynch, coordinator of college activities.
"You just can't start in December and get it all done by May," he said.
The delayed start wasn't the only difficulty the yearbook staff ran into.
"We really need our own advisor that's solely for the yearbook," said
Amy Anson, editor of the yearbook. "The Circle has one, I think the
yearbook deserves one."
Lynch
is
the yearbook advisor now, but the publication needs a facul-
ty advisor with a distinct background in putting a yearbook together,
said Anson.
"A yearbook is a major publication and it deserves special attention,"
said Anson.
"I
think the yearbook is still very meaningful to a lot of
people."
Anson, 21 year-old senior communication arts major from Scarsdale,
N. Y., was chosen to be the editor after she heard about the yearbook
needing a staff.
The staff, assembled last December, now consists of 14 members all
working to finish the book.
"Our staff is very loyal," said Anson.
"I
hope they all return next
year."
Other difficulties came with the photography.
A lot of the photo's had to be retaken because the professional ones
were either blurred or had shadows, Anson said.
A lack of experience also hindered the staff's efforts.
Last year, the staff had a copy editor who was very knowledgeable
about yearbooks and what it takes to put one together but by the time
the yearbook got under way the person had left Maris!, said Anson.
This year, the staff includes a lot of freshman willing to learn how
a yearbook is put together, she said.
Although young and pressed for time, the staff is not taking any
shortcuts.
"There are what we call easy layouts that we could've used," said An-
son. "These layouts are already drawn up, all we had to do is fill in the
pictures, but that wouldn't have given the book much depth or personali-
ty."

Marist letters

by
RICHARD NASS
Staff Writer
The stone wall in front of the
college, which was once home to
the white letters spelling "Marist
College," is still barren since after
last
year's
Commencement
ceremonies.
The infamous letters, which were
mounted on the eight-foot-high
wall adjacent to the Keiran Gate
House, have been placed in perma-
nent storage, according to J.F.
Leary, director of the Office of
Safety and Security.
The metal characters cost the
college between

according to Leary.
"The
letters have recently

said Leary, who smiles somewhat

disappearance.
The letters "Marist" were first
stolen in September of 1989 and the
Office of Safety and Security of-
fered a
$500
reward for informa-
tion leading to their recovery,
Leary said.
In mid-October of 1989, the let-
ters were returned by two non-
Marist students.
Leary said he refused to pay the
reward money because of the
"ludicrous story" behind how the
students acquired the letters.
The letters were returned to the
wall in November and remained in-

Procrastination is a common ail-
ment among college students. Ask
anyone who's ever stayed up half
the night doing a paper.
"This teacher doesn't think I
have any other work to do!" can
be heard echoing down the cor-
ridors of many a residence hall in
a feeble attempt to place blame
elsewhere.
For those seeking a possible solu-
tion to this and other academic
problems at Marist College, "Lear-
ning Theory in Application" is
available as a course to give
students academic guidance.
According to psychology pro-
fessor Edward O'Keefe, one of the
class instructors, "Leaming Theory
in Application" is intended to help
students learn how to manage dif-
ferent aspects of life that relate to
being successful. Such factors in-
clude motivation,
time and
thinking.
The course, originally named
"Applied Learning Techniques,"
taught study skills and note-taking.
The name was changed two years
ago because of
its
limited scope,
said Coordinator
of Student
Academic Services Mananne
Toscano, who also teaches the
course.
"They really didn't have any
way to apply what we were
teaching them," she said, referring
to students whose academic pro-
blems stemmed largely from poor
self-management, not just poor
study skills.
The one-credit course now
focuses on how students think, feel
and act and how those three fac-
tors affect students' work. It still
covers study skills and note-taking.
Donna Berger, the executive
assistant to the academic vice presi-
dent and a Learning Theory in-
structor, said what students learn
in this class helps them both in and
out of the classroom.
"They can take from the course
what they want and use it as they
see fit, in whatever areas they see
fit," she said.
Students can use what they've
learned from this course and app-
ly it to problems such as losing
weight or taking compliments
graciously because with these pro-
blems, as well as academic ones,
the way one thinks and feels affects
the way one acts, according to
Berger.
"We're teaching them how to
manage themselves for life, rather
than just a semester or a year,"
said Toscano.
Although "Learning Theory in
Application" is a required course
for some in-coming freshmen, the
course is available to everyone.
Freshman Kris Kickenweits,
from Gillette, NJ, opted to take the
class and said she's glad she did.
"It's life skills and the way you
handle it," she said, describing the
course.
Kickenweits also said although
it's only worth one credit, the class
requires a lot of work.
Since time-management is an im-
portant aspect of self-management,
students must make a schedule of
how they intend to spend their time
in accordance with whatever goal
they have set for themselves.
Berger said: "It's not difficult to
fail this course
...
lf they don't go to
class, they're not managing their
time."
"The
very things that are taught
in the course are needed to succeed
in the course," said O'Keefe.
Berger, O'Keefe and Toscano
said that all the course instructors
meet weekly to evaluate the course.

It wasn't for those who attend-
ed the fourth annual River Festival
last Friday.
River Festival delivered a day of
food, drink and dance to the
students, faculty, administrators
and staff who converged on the
basketball
court behind the
Gartland Commons Apartments.
The festival, which was open to
students 21 years-old or older, was
well attended and received by all.
"I had a good time," said
Michael Roberts, a senior from
Newington, Conn. "All my friends
were there and I even saw some of
my professors."
"The weather and the music
were great, but the food was cold,"
Roberts said.
A disc jockey played music dur-
ing the four-hour event.
"I really liked the music," said
Maureen Queenan, a senior from
Scarsdale,
N.Y.
"They played
some new stuff and some stuff
from when we were kids."
"I liked the idea of everyone be-
ing able to dance outside."
Queenan said.
.
The Festival included games,
such as Tug-of-War and Dizzy Iz-
zy; as well as music.
The teams for each event were
determined by the color wrist band
each person received upon entering
the festivities.
"The games were a good idea,"
said Queenan. "I'm glad that they
didn't force us to play them,
though, because I hate that."
River Day, which originated
when students would skip class and
play frisbee by the river on the first
nice day of spring had turned into
a destructive event, according to
administrations
of the past·
reported in The Circle.
For most of the students, the
original River Day, the former
name of River Festival, is just a
myth, because the last unsanction-
ed River Day took place in 1987,
when most of the current seniors
were graduating high school.
The River Day festivities were
different in more ways than just be-
ing unsanctioned
by the ad-
ministration, according to old
issues of The Circle.

One-to-One
tradition

by
MARY-CAY PROVOST
Staff Writer
Despite the cold weather, last
week's One-to-One Day brought
dozens of special needs children to
campus for a day of activities with
Marist student volunteers. And ac-
cording to ·sponsors, it was a
success.
"People hung in there all day
long in spite of the cold weather,"
said William Van Ornum, assistant
professor of psychology and ad-
visor to the Psychology Club.
About 50 student volunteers
came to help the 45 area children.
One-to-One Day has been a Marist
tradition for about ten years.
Children come from rehabilitation
centers and homes for the emo-
tionally disturbed or the handicap-
ped and spend the day with a stu-
dent volunteer.
"The psychology club has done
all the work," said Van Ornum.
"They have formed committees for
several months that have come up
with various activities ... to keep
everyone entertained."
Doug Sanders, president of the
Psychology Club, said: "The kids
go back to the residences and talk
about it for weeks. That is what is
really important because there is
not usually any contact between the
Marist student and the child - ex-
cept for that one day that they
spend together."
For some Marist psychology
students, the experience helps them
decide what career path to choose.
"One-to-One Day convinced me
that this is what I really want to do
once I get out of school," said
Sanders, a junior from Mid-
dletown, N.Y.
"I
have worked
with this population of children

lege."

Getting the scoop
on the coolest dessert
Circle

MARJI FENROW

Peter Timpone worked at a store that sold both frozen yogurt and ice
cream, but he always ate the yogurt.
"I found that frozen yogurt tastes better - it's sweeter," said Tim-
pone, a junior who would eat strawberry and banana yogurt at Bentley's
Cafe in his hometown of Woodstock, Vt.
With many health-conscious college students switching from fat-laden
ice cream to frozen yogurt, established ice cream franchises like Dairy
Queen, Baskin Robbins and Ben & Jerry's are ~oming ~p with their own
versions of the once-tart treat. And stores exclusively
selling frozen
yogurt,
like TCBY (The Country's Best Yogurt), are popping up nationwide.
So just what is that frozen treat they call yogurt?
.
Frozen yogurt is like the store-bought yogurt that has been available
for years -
with one exception, according to Janice Barcone, one of
the owners of TCBY in Hyde Park.
"When you're eating yogurt here, it's yogurt, fruit and sugar. It's the
flavoring that's changing it," she said.
.
_
_
For example, TCBY puts white chocolate mousse flavormg mto its
yogurt of the same name. The mousse taste makes the yogurt better t~an
the container in the refrigerated section of a grocery store, she said.
Besides the taste, Americans are opting for yogurt because of its nutri-
tional value. The nation's awareness of fat and cholesterol -
the
substances linked to increased risks of heart attacks -
has also added
to the sales of this frozen dessert. But consumers should beware because
not all yogurt has no fat or cholesterol, and the most toppings to choose
from are far from nutritious.
A 4-fluid ounce serving of TCBY's sugar-free yogurt has about
80
calories but no fat or cholesterol. Its non-fat yogurt is
110
calories, also
without'cholesterol. But, the regular yogurt has 120 calories, along with
3 grams of fat and 13 milligrams of cholesterol.
•
Baskin Robbins offers non-fat and low-fat yogurts. Non-fat yogurt
has no cholesterol, but the low-fat has 1 gram of fat and
5
milligrams
of cholesterol per 4-ounce serving.
Both the ice cream and frozen yogurt sold at Dairy Queen have 25
calories per ounce, but there is no fat or cholesterol in the yogurt, said
Mike
Wajda, owner of Dairy Queen in Hyde Park.
Junior Josephine Sportello dressed as a clown last Thurs-
day for the annual One-to-One Day in front of the Campus
Center. The event was sponsored and organized by the
Psychology Club.
While Dairy Queen only offers vanilla yogurt, TCBY and Baskin Rob-
bins have at least four flavors available each day, always including
chocolate and vanilla.
"Ifwe
offered more flavors, we would probably sell more," said Wa-
jda, who attributes IO percent of Dairy Queen's total sales to the yogurt.
Exotic choices at TCBY include Chocolate Mint, Chocolate Raspberry
Truffle and Peanut Butter.
Kinnelon, N.J., will graduate this
May.
The day's events included a per-
formance of MCCT A's "Pinoc-

"One needs to be shook up
about how cruel mankind can be
towards himself," said Vice Presi-
dent of Academic Affairs Marc
vanderHeyden last Monday.
VanderHeyden addressed facul-
ty, students and community
residents at a gathering in Fireside
Lounge to remember the lives lost
during the Holocaust.
He started off the program say-
ing that mankind should frequent-
ly take a step back to reflect on
•
what is happening around them.
"That will be the stepping stone in
the beginning of a consiousness of
what a horrible even the Holocaust
was," he said.
The evening consisted
of
speeches and poetry readings about
what
happened
during
the
Holocaust along with talks about
where anti-semitism is still alive to-
day. The Office of Academic Af-
fairs and the chapel committee
sponsored the event.
Rabbi Charles Feinberg, of Tem-
ple Beth-El in Poughkeepsie, of-
fered prayers in honor of the
Holocaust victims.
"It is important that when a per-
son dies, he or she is remembered,"
Rabbi Feinberg added. "Three and
four generations of families were
wiped out as a result of the
Holocaust so there was no one left
to remember. There is a heartfelt
need iri the Je\\-ish community to
make a day of remembrance."
Another intent of the program
was looking to look at the events
which caused the Holocaust, to
stop anything as horrible from hap-
pening again.
"It
is important to understand
the conditions that allowed the
Holocaust
.to
occur," said Presi-
dent Dennis Murray. "When we
see these same conditions people
will speak out against them and
stop them."
.
Casimir Norkeliunas, associate
professor of German and Russian,
talked about the Soviet Union and
Lithuania, where anti-semitism still
strongly exists today.
.
Norkeliunas
was born m
Lithuania and said there is a strong
anti-semitic attitude among people
in his own Lithuanian peer group.
"I have heard several der-
rogatory remarks toward Jews
there," he said. "The Soviets give
them a rough time because the Rus-
sians need a scapegoat for their
own mistakes," Norkeliunas said
of the June 22, 1941 invasion of
Russia by the Nazis, who murdered
33 700 Jews in the "greatest
m~sacre the Holocaust could ac-
count for."
Norkeliunas also talked of the
number of Jews leaving Lithuania
today because of the anti-semitism
there.
"Out of l0,000 Jews, 3,000 left
this year because they will simply
have no future there if they stay,"
he said.
Brother
Joseph
Belang~r,
F.M.S., spoke of the Man~t

Budapest at the time of the w~r.
They worked to get the Jewish
refugees out of the country before
they were taken into custody. by

Printing names of victims
reduces the stigma of rape
Thinking
Between
The
Lines
CHRIS SHEA
A woman is raped in this country every six
minutes.
And now, the clash between press freedom
and the right to privacy has erupted and been
narrowed to one single question: Should
news organizations identify victims of rape?
Ideally, a situation where a victim comes
forth on her own and says, ••yes, I'm a rape
victim. It's not my fault. I have nothing to
hide," would be best. It would help society
to deal with a major problem instead of
obscuring it.
But the reason most women don't do this
is because they know there's a stigma attach-
ed to being labeled a rape victim. Because
of the way society has treated victims in the
past, going public about a rape isn't high on
a woman's list of priorities.
I know what a lot

"You don't have any idea what it's like to

bably dismiss my views as ignorant, irrele-

Amendment classes.

---------------
There's nothing to hide. That's something
we all have to realize. Let's face it, there's
a stigma attached to being a rape victim. It's
not your typical crime and there is no typical
victim.
Naming a rape victim humanizes that vic-
tim.
It
adds personification. It helps the rest
of society conjure up feelings of empathy
and anger.
People should be angry when they realize
that 240 women are raped every day in this
country.
Think of the connotations that come with
being a rape victim. Think of how at a trial
- that's if the rape's reported which more
than
half
aren't
-
a - victim
is
cross-examined.
Her sexual history is questioned. Her
morality is scrutinized.
Maybe, some would say, she was asking
for it.
If names were printed, yes, the first few
women would suffer through public humilia-
tion. But as time went on, society would start
to focus less and less on the question of nam-
ing victims and more on the problem of rape
and how society deals with it.
Critics of The New York Times, San Fran-
cisco Chronicle and NBC News, who iden-
tified the victim, say it's not the role of the
media to make a decision that should be
made by the woman.
The state of Florida obviously agrees con-
sidering the law on the books that makes
publishing, broadcasting or disclosing any
other fact that could lead to identification
as a second-degree misdemeanor punishable
by a 60-day jail sentence and a $500 fine.
Someone could ask me how I would like
it if it was my daughter that was raped.
Would I want her name in the paper?
Would I want it? No.
Would it help women and society by
reducing the unnecessary stigma of being a
rape victim?
I believe so.
People need to focus on the problem of
rape rather than the problem of identifying
victims.

In response
While reading Helen Arroyo's
article describing Marist as a
"breeding ground for ignorance,
not diversity," I found many
statements to be hurtful and in-
sulting, not just to myself, but to
the Marist community.
.
If, during you four years here,
you have only found ignorance,
then perhaps you have not looked
far enough or well enough to find
the people who are willing to com-
mend you - and not condemn you
for deciding to keep your child.

do not know where your basis for
judging ignorance lies.
You also appear to pair in-
dividuals committed to higher
education with those who decide to
have an abortion.
Do you really consider one sign
of scholarship to be loss of respect
for human life?
If that is what you feel is the
norm for college students' behavior
then perhaps you are ignorant in
understanding
your
fellow
classmates.
If you believe you have only
found rude behavior, and not
diversity on this campus, then
perhaps you don't know what you
are looking for.

Wrong reasoning for
war, yet nobody cares
by
JIM LYNCH
George Bush really made a mess.
This President has helped to create
more turmoil, violence and en-
vironmental destruction than has
ever existed in the history of the
Persian Gulf. The war that isn't
really over resembles more a referee
calling a time-out than a true cessa-
tion of hostilities. And during this
whole dark chapter in American
history, the majority of American
people have shown their true col-
ors of apathy and ignorance.
The people of this country have
demonstrated a lack of sensitivity
that allowed their government to
run berserk over an area that left
well over
100,000
battlefield deaths
and thousands of civilian people
killed in the crossfire. Iraq, as a na-
tion, was bombed back into the
pre-industrial age. And to top it
off, most people in America still
think this war was about freedom,
and all we have to do as citizens is
wave a flag or display a yellow rib-
bon and everything's going to be
okay.
Wars are deliberately planned
for specific purposes. Saddam
Hussein may be another Hitler, but
he was a Hitler ten years ago too.
What were the Reagan and Bush
administration doing business with
this man if he was so
evil?
The time
to stop the world's Hitlers is early,
before they become dangerous.
While U.S. troops were being
deployed in the Persian Gulf last
year,
how many Americans
understood the politics, culture or
simple geography of the region?
Did we know much about the
countries that we were supposed to
be defending? When we needed to
be informed the most, Bush was
sending our troops over by the tens
of thousands, and the government
and media kept the American
public ignorant of what we were
really dealing with over there. If we
understood what the governments
and cultures of the region were
really like -
our allies were dic-
tators
and
the
economic
significance of oil -
than we
would have come to the quick con-
clusion that this is a war that has
very little to do with freedom or
liberating Kuwait.
This country has known since the
early 1970s, when the oil embargo
occurred, how vulnerable
it
was to
oil. This country also has known
that alternative energy forms exist
and the technology is available. So
what did this country do? We gave
these programs minimal incentive
and watched Reagan as he defund-
ed these programs and instead
spent $300 billion a year on the
military.
What if we put half the $3
trillion we've spent on military
since 1980 towards a national pro-
gram to thoroughly insulate every
home and building in the country
and to develop non-petroleum bas-
ed fuels.

Out of college, the stress is up to you
With May 18 just around the corner, I'm
just about rounding third and literally
heading for home.
And then it's time to get a j-o-b. For some
reason that word still can't pass through my
stuttering lips.
But it seems like there are plenty of them
out there, in that infamous "real world."
After four years of becoming well round-
ed, even though I weigh the same as I did
freshman year, I think my bachelor of arts
degree can land me some kind of job -
communicating.
I must say though that probably one of the
most fascinating facts I've learned is how
quickly and easily information
can
travel.
And the quickest and easiest mediums are
telephone, television and tell-a-woman.
That's just one of the numerous bits of
knowledge I've acquired over the years. But
where and doing what j-o-b will I be able to
use this expertise?
And I don't want one in which I'll be
stressed out all day and go bald by the age
of 25 because I pulled all my hair out myself.
In fact the
Poughkeepsie Journal
Monday
printed a list of the top 25 most stressful
jobs, so I'll know exactly which ones to
avoid.
Topping
the
list was fireman, I mean
Thoughts

firefighter. No problem, whenever I smell
smoke I'll just stop, drop and roll.
Other high-stress occupations I shouldn't
have trouble avoiding are NFL player, air
traffic controller, stockbroker, astronaut,
lawyer, local police officer and Osteopath,
a muscle and bone doctor.
However, there were a few surprises on the
list that need a little explanation before I'll
believe they're truly all that stressful.
Take for example, jockey. The only
stressful part of that job is putting up with
all the "short" jokes. And then there's be-
ing a logger. Jt's probably those dam killer
squirrels that keep loggers looking over their
shoulders.
Number 21 is the one that boggles my
mind -
taxi driver. Well, I guess I'd be
stressed too if I was driving a cab in New
York City and couldn't speak English.
Still, there are some j-o-bs which I think
are more stressful than commercial fisher-
man or NCAA coach. Like:
Aesbestos Remover -
sucking up teeny
weeny bits of fiberglass for a living not only
sounds stressful, but I bet it puts a serious
damper on your appetite, as well.
John Gotti's Driver -
After his former
driver was shot and killed in Brooklyn last
week, I think this j-o-b is going be vacant
for quite a while. Applicants should have no
family.
Used Ford Pinto Salesman -
Trying to
keep a serious face and demeanor while per-
suading someone that the gastank issue was
a vicious rumor started by Lee Ioccoca,
would definitely send my blood pressure
skyrocketing.
Kitty Kelly's Fact Checker -
With all the
alleged lies and scandals in her book about
Nancy Reagan, I'd start considering a new
line of work or apply at the National
Enquirer.
Any Marist Preschool Worker -
If the
kids don"t drive you up a wall. don't worry
they'll be no walls in June.
George foreman·s Scale -
Enough 5aid.
The Kennedy's P.R. person -
Ha,.ing to
find a way to come out of this one looking
good would cause a lot of sleepless nights for
this person. Of course, it was a lot of
sleepless nights which got the Kennedy's in-
to this mess.
Avon Salesman in Harlem -
I can just
imagine ringing a doorbell and singing,
"Avon calling" only to be greeted by a
sawed-off shotgun. Or trying to sell blush to
a s~ruffy, fat m~n in a torn, white tanktop
while he blew cigar smoke into my face.
Minefield sweeper -
To me, this would
be the definition of stress. Having to walk
around aimlessly with a $29.95 metal detec-
tor searching for land mines is not a walk
in the park and is certainly more stressful
than Number 16 -
real estate agent.
Gameshow Buzzer Pusher -
Imagine the
horror of pushing the
"wrong
answer"
buzzer on Family Feud when you were sup-
posed to hit the cheerful "ding" for the cor-
rect answer. It would without a doubt send
the entire family into mental depression and
cause the entire show to be cancelled onlv
to be remembered for its board 'gam~
version.

Bleak job market sends Class of '91 scrambling
by
LAURA SORICELLI
Staff Writer
With graduation less than three weeks away,
some seniors haven't yet secured employment.
Interviews conducted this week reveal that
fewer students have definite plans this year
because of a widespread hiring freeze.
"A lot of our students want to enter fields
experiencing a tremendous downturn," said
Deidre Sepp, director of the Office of Career
Development and Field Experience. "Hiring
numbers are dramatically reduced compared to
what there was last year."
Sepp said the government is doing a fair
amount of hiring, and sales jobs are available.
But many students are working harder at fin-
ding a job, she said. More students are still ac-
tively engaged in the job search, and they are
making contact ~ith more employers than last
year, according to Sepp.
"It's been horrible. I've had six on-campus
interviews, and I was offered one position at
Metropolitan Life Insurance," said Jeanine
Bonello, a senior business marketing major,
/ about her job search.
But she's not going to take the position.
"I
have an entry-level position at a bank now,
which allows me to search for a more oppor-
tune position," says Bonello of Holbrook, N. Y.
Computer science major Randy Lehman says
his job search has been slow. "And the places
that are hiring want a lot of experience, which
1
don't have," said Lehman of Shoreham, N.Y.
He adds: "Even my roommate, who has an in-
ternship at IBM and good grades, still hasn't
landed a job. At all his interviews they say
they're not hiring."
Sepp says communications has also experienc-
ed a downturn, but there are more opportunities
in the areas of telecommunications, cable televi-
sion and home entertainment.
While Senior Christie Ingrassi, 22, is looking
for a job in the communications field, she has
been dissuaded by comments from employees
of ABC-TV and MTV. "Everyone in my field
said that there is a hiring freeze all over, and
that has made me not want to put any resumes
out," she said.
Ingrassi has
been
gaining
experience
at her in-
t~ship
at
WPDH-FM
in
Poughkeepsie,
but
decided
to
get
a
job
as a
cocktail
waitress,
rather
than be rejected in her field. "I wanted to be
guaranteed money, beea\lse I know it's going
to take a while (to find a job)," she said.
"Most people take three to six months to get
their employment plans underway and now the
average length of time it takes to find a job is
nine months," said Sepp.
Sepp says students should send 50-75 resumes
out, and they may have to send 75-100 resumes
to find a job.
While some students have been actively seek-
ing employment, others still have not begun
their job search.
"I'm concentrating on graduating," says Enc
Frenzke, from Ridgewood, N.J. "I'm getting
names and addresses of people to contact when
I have more time," says the senior criminal
justice major.
Political science major, Michael Flynn of
Pompton Plains, N.J., admits that he hasn't
begun his job hunt because he's not sure what
he wants to do. "Ideally, I want to get into
broadcasting. Right now, I don't
see

future in political science for myself," says
Flynn.
Some seniors are taking the summer off
before they think about employment. "I'm go-
ing away to Ireland for five weeks, so J'm not
worrying about it right now. I'll take care of
it when I return home," says Deirdre O'Con-
nell of Port Chester, N.Y., a business marketing
major.
But Sepp says, "People who take the sum-
mer off find that it takes them an extra three
to six months to find a job."
And Sepp says the good jobs go to the
students that start their job search early,
because
many companies do their recruiting in the fall.
It is for this reason, that next year's career ex-
po will be held in the fall.
Accounting major Jeanine Briglio, of
Massapequa,
N.Y.
reaped the advantages of
beginning interviewing last fall. Briglio had four
on-campus interviews, and was offered a posi-
tion as a staff accountant with Coopers and
Lybrand in Stanford, Conn., one of the big six
accounting firms.
"I think I was really lucky to get a job. They
(job interviewers) told me that it's really com-
petitive this year," says Briglio.

For one Marist student, bar
hopping
in Poughkeepsie
doesn't stop on May 18.
George Siegrist is in the pro-
cess
of building a sports bar
next to Berties, and hopes to
open it three days before
graduation.
Siegrist has yet to come up
with a name for the bar, but he
said Berties will probably be in•
eluded in the name since his
bar
will be affliated with the
popular hangout for college
students.
For love, money and even
school,
other
seniors like
Siegrist are are planning to stay
in Poughkeepsie after their
classmates have moved on.
Jennifer Dressel may remain
in Poughkeepsie because she
doesn't want to leave her
boyfriend who won't graduate
until next year.
The couple that's been dating
18 months is apartment hun-
ting, and plans to be living
together by graduation.
"It isn't exactly my choice of
towns to live in for the rest of
my life, but for now, it's a good
alternative to going back to
New
Jersey," Dressel said.
For Monica Latus, a six-
credit intemshit> turned into a
local career opponunity. Latus
was recently hired as assistant
marketing
director of the
Galleria Mall where she is com-
pleting her spring communica-
tion arts internship.
Latus, who will start her job
June I, says it won't be difficult
to relocate in the area. "After
being here for four years of
your life, you get used to it.
Now, Poughkeepsie just seems
like home," she said.
Studies are keeping Lisa Cer-
niglia in Po'town for at least
another year. She's one of 12
seniors
in the
five-year
psychology program in which
students earn a master's degree.
Cerniglia plans to take two
summer and fall classes while
working full-time. Next spring,
she will attend Marist full-time
and complete her master's
degree.
"I don't want to stay here for
the rest of my life, but for
another year or two, it's O.K.,"
she said.
Stephanie Scheinkman just
plain doesn't want to leave.
She said she's gotten used to
the college lifestyle - one that's
different from her family home.
"My friends are here, and
besides, my little brother took
ov__er
my bedroom at ~ome,"
said the psychology maJor who
plans to continue living with her
housemates on South Cherry
Street after graduation.

Theatre class -takes to the stage
performing student-written plays
by
CRAIG BOCCHIARO
Staff Writer
"Trashed," "Life at Twenty"
and "Known But to God" are
three phrases with which many
students can relate.
They are also the titles of three
student-written plays being per-
formed tonight through Saturday
in the Campus Theater for the Ex-
perimental Theatre's Festival of
Short Plays.
The festival includes six of eight
plays written, directed, produced
and performed by students tonight
and Friday at 7 p.m. and Saturday
at 2 p.m. The plays vary from five
to 40 minutes in length and admis-
sion is free.
The Experimental Theatre was
started in 1970 by Gerard A. Cox,
vice president and dean of student
affairs, who taught the theatre
workshop class for 20 years.
The first annual Festival of Short
Plays was in 1980, and since then,
more than 100 student and alumni-
written plays have been performed.
"What makes the Experimental
Theatre different, is that it offers
students the opportunity to try
their hand at all of their theatre arts
in a supportive climate," said Cox,
who now teaches a play writing
class.
decisions that
•
are important to
them, with the help of people who
encourage them to risk something
so personal in a public way," said
Cox.
While Cox teaches a play writing
class this semester, this is the first
semester he hasn't taught theatre
workshop since the class was add-
ed to Marist's theatre program in
1970.
Jim Steinmeyer, a 1971 Marist
graduate, is the instructor of the
theatre workshop, which requires
participation in the Experimental
Theatre.
"The Experimental Theatre is a
two-fold opportunity. The first
part is it's an opportunity for
young writers of drama to actual-
ly put
their
work
outside
themselves and see its strengths and
weaknesses, and secondly, it's an
opportunity to take the theory of
the classroom, and apply it prac-
tically
to the stage,"
said
Steinmeyer.
Senior Terrence Wing is part of
the Theatre Workshop and wrote
a play entitled "Trashed," which
will be performed during the
festival.
Wing, a communication arts ma-
jor, also wrote "Vows", a one act
play which was performed April 16
in the Campus Theatre.
students. The plays are written,
directed, performed, and produc-
ed by students. Every aspect is done
by students," Wing said.
Anndalena Glaze, a senior com-
munication arts major, wrote a
play entitled "Intimate Relations,"
which will also be performed this
weekend.
Glaze, last year's recipient of the
John P. Anderson Memorial
Award given for playwright of the
year, has been writing since high
school. She said she had been shy
about having people see her work.
"Dean
Cox really pushed me,
and gave me confidence, and after
my play was well received last year,
it really gave me a boost of con-
fidence," said Glaze.
When talking about her inspira-
tions, Glaze said she loved going to
the theatre, and had a lot of ideas
of her own which she thought were
good enough to be written down
and saved.
"There are two sides to people,"
said Glaze. "You only see one side
of them, and this gives you the op-
portunity to see the other side."
She said the Experimental pro-
gram is a collaborated effort
among all who were involved to put
the productions together.

Cox said students are free to ex-
periment, and are not limited to
works written by other people.
"Students are free to write about
the kind of people, .,;.,,ations, and
"I wanted to direct new material
and didn't find anyone making
anything new," said Wing.
"The Experimental Theatre is a
great learning experience for
Junior R.A. Roy, author of
"Life at Twenty," wrote the play
to inform people, as well as to
entertain them.
"Life at Twenty" is a play about
a college student who finds out he
has tested H.I.V. positive.
Thespians Marc Liepis and Natasha Dorsanville perform as
Andrew and Crystal last Thursday in the play "Vows," which
was written by senior Terrence Wing and directed by Senior
Jim Joseph.

Recession +fewer
high school grads
more-,-recruiting
$$i
by
ERIC SYLER
Staff Writer
As with everything else, it's getting more and more
costly to recruit students. This year, it cost about
$950
per student entering Marist, according to Harry Wood,
vice president of admissions.
Recent years have seen a $250-dollar increase in the
cost of recruiting a student with some schools paying
$1550 to $5000 for just one student, Wood said.
Colleges are worried because the number of high
school graduates is dropping. This cuts the pool of
students available for college at the source, Wood
said.
As a result, more and more competition exists for
students.
Another reason for the increase in spending, accor-
ding to Wood, is the recession and financial aid cuts
is making the cost of private colleges too much for
some families
so
they must
turn
to state-run and com-
munity colleges.
A factor which affects recruiting is the cost of on-
the- road travel. Hotel rooms in some areas cost
$100
a night. Along with meals and rental cars, these costs
build up, Wood said.
In fact, the cost of travel ranges between $50,000-
$100,000
a year to recruit students.
The recruitment office has ten
staff
members who
handle high school visitations, handing out ouc pam-
phlets and talking to seniors about the benefits Marist
has to offer.
But these pamphlets, guide books and other publica-
tions don't come without a high price tag.
Although exact figures aren't available, the approx-
imate cost for the viewbook alone runs the recruitment
office over S60,000.
Photographers hired to take pictures for campus
pamphlets receive about $1000 a day, staying until they
get the kind of photographs that make this campus
look good which could take a number of days.
Add in the cost of the printing and the mailing cost
(which alone is S50,000) and you begin to
see
how $950
was spent, Wood said.
Wood mentioned the idea for a video presentation
for the recruitment office may
soon
be in the works.
Costs estimating at about $40,000
10
$50,000 making
the overall recruitment for incoming freshman thar
much higher.
Even though the cost is high, the recruitment of-
fice has just finished going through 4,300 applications
for the incoming freshman class.

Lowell Thomas -
more
than
just a building
or
an award
by
STEVEN SCHMITT
Staff Writer
Lowell Thomas was a pioneer in
the communications industry, yet
his name and his exploits dwell in
relative anonymity among the stu•
dent population.
And as the college prepares to
give out the annual Lowell Thomas
award for excellence in the field of
broadcasting and students take
classes in the building bearing his
name, many still ask, "Who was
Lowell Thomas?"
"I know he was involved in com•
munications somehow," said Leslie
Moore, a junior from Windsor,
Conn.
though."
Thomas, born in Woodington,
Ohio,in 1892, started his career in
communications in 1925 at
KDKA,
a five-year-old radio station in
Pittsburgh.
In 1930, he took a job as com-
mentator on the first daily radio
news program in the United States
which continued on the air until
1976. It still is the longest running
daily program in radio history.
His voice was said to
have been heard by
more than 125 billion
people.
Thomas was not only known for
his broadcasting but also for his
travels around the world and subse-
quent

detailing
his
adventures.
President Lyndon B Johnson
once referred to Thomas as "the

His most famous trip came in
1949, when he visited the nation ?f
Tibet. Before his visit, only six
Americans had been allowed there.

It was because of his contribu-

Netters drop two;
nab fifth in NEC
by
KENT RINEHART
Staff Writer
It's been a tough week for the
men's tennis team.
Besides finishing up the Nor-
theast Conference tournament in
fifth place, Head Coach Terry
Jackrel's club also dropped mat-
ches to Vassar and Quinnipiac
College.
The Red Foxes now stand at 5-6.
In the NEC tourney, seniors Jim
Cagney and Stan Phelps were plac-
ed in the "A
II
bracket. Both lost
in the first round; however, they
played strong in winning their con-
solation matches.
Cagney, who had replaced
Phelps at the number one singles
spot, dropped his first match 6-4,
6-4 before returning the favor in a
three-setter, 6-4, 4-6, 6-2.
Phelps was a first round victim,
falling 7-6, 6-0. He then cam back
to win his second match of the
weekend, 7-6, 6-2.
In the "B" bracket were senior
co-captain Chris Trieste and John
Cleary, a junior. Trieste lost in the
first round 6-3, 6-2, but then won
6-2, 6-2 to finish ninth in the six-
teen player field. Cleary wasn't as
fortunate, dropping his matches
6-0, 6-1 and 6-1, 6-3.
and Jim Halloran. They won the
first set 6-4 before
giving
up these-
cond set 6-7. In the third and
deciding set, they fell behind 3-0,
before storming back to win the set
and match, 6-3.
In the semifinals, the Barker and
Hallorin combo lost a tough 6-4,
6-2 match.
Monmouth College won the
tournament. Finishing second and
third were Farleigh Dickinson
University and Mt. St. Mary's Col-
lege, respectively.
"There are two levels of teams
in our conference and those teams
give out scholarships which gives
them a step ahead of the rest of the
teams in the conference," said
Trieste.
On Tuesday, Marist lost to
Quinnipiac, 6-3. Phelps was the on-
ly Red Fox to win a singles match,
raising his record to 9-2 this spring.
"Stan is playing really well,"
said Trieste. "He is someone that
we count on every time out."
The other Marist victories came
from the doubles tandem of
Cagney and John Favazzo, winn-
ing 8-5. Barker and Cleary also
combined to trounce their op-
ponents, 8-1.
Last Wednesday, Marist lost to
Division Ill power Vassar. The
crosstown rival conceded only three
matches.

Lax streak ends;
finale Saturday
by
MIKE O'FARRELL
Sports Editor
After amassing four consecutive
wins at home, the lacrosse team
took its winning ways on the road
for a three game stretch.
The winning streak was increas-
ed to five games with a 12-8 win
over
New York
Maritime.
However, Monday afternoon the
Red Foxes could not handle SUNY
Albany, losing 11-5.
Marist now stands at 6-8 overall
and 2-4 in Knickerbocker Con-
ference play.
"We just didn't play well," said
first-year head coach Tom Diehl.
"It
was another case of us not giv-
ing a full effort for an entire
game."
Diehl also credited the opponent
for playing a solid game.
"We didn't come out sharp," he
said. "We came out and just
weren't sharp."
Offensively, Marist received its
best effort from Jason Beatrice.
The junior tallied two goals, rais-
ing his season total to IO.
Diehl did credit the play of his
goalie, Rob Novotny.
"Woody (Novotny) did a nice
job for us," he said. "He played
well." The senior co-captain has
made 190 saves in 13 games.
Making his return to the lineup
against Albany was senior mid-
fielder Brian Hanifin who had
missed the last three games with
injuries;
Fourth on the team in scoring
with 26 points - including 21 goals
-
Hanifin was the leading scorer
on the team before he went down
with his injury.
Having him back in
the
lineup
may have been more of a hindrance
than a help, said Diehl.

"They (SUNY Albany) had a de-

Crew ~touches up' a tradition

Staff Writer
Glancing
out
from

townhouse window each morning,
members of the men's varsity crew
team instinctively look beyond the
river to see their contribution to
tradition.
In continuance with a tradition

•
the team to repaint the rock on the
Highland side of the Hudson
•
River.
Normally, the team changes just
the year underneath the "M."
However, this year it decided to re-
paint the entire rock.
•
"We decided to do it this year,"
said Mike Longo, a senior from
Higganum, Conn. "From rowing
by it, we could see the paint had
deteriorated really bad."
Painting the rock was a full day's
work.
Setting out at IO a.m. on the sun-
ny Saturday afternoon, the men
were at work by 2 p.m.

top of the cliff and strung a 140

down.
"I had rope burns," said Darcy,
a business major from Wheaton,
Ill. "We had to come up with three
different spots to place Mccaffery
to paint the whole thing."
Compared to year's past, the
rock was painted in a different
manner.
Usually, the 40-by-60 foot rock
was painted by lowering a paint
can
and using brushes. This year,
however, Mccaffery used a pain
gun accompanied by a generator
and an air compressor donated by
his father.
"It doesn't look that big until
you are looking down on it," said
Mccaffery, who at times was 90
feet above the ground while
painting.
Mccaffery changed the "90" to
"91" in a unique style.
"He drew a one in the middle of
the zero and then painted gray
around it," said Murray.
"The ride back up was the worst
thing,"
said Mccaffery,
a
freshman. "I had cuts on my legs
and fingers when they heaved me
up and launched me into the
rock."
The "M,"
which was first
painted in 1970, was done to in-
timidate visiting crews.
"It
was tradition in crew races
that various teams would paint a
large school letter," Pete Master-
son, a member of the class of 1970,
told the Circle in March of 1988.

V-Ball ends season 9-22
by
TED HOLMLUND
Staff Writer
The men's volleyball club
finished the season Sunday after
competing in the Club National
Championships in Colorado
Springs,· Colo.
Posting a 2-4 mark, the Red
Foxes finished ninth in the tour-
nament. Overall, Marist capped
the season with a 9-22 record
with a
3-3
mark in the Iroquois
Collegiate
Volleyball
Association.
In Colorado, Marist got off
to a hot start by winning its first
two matches.
The Red Foxes earned a hard
fought, 2-1 victory over Georgia
Southern 15-12, 12-15, 17-15.
Senior setter Anthony Azarra
led the attack with 28 assists.
Player-coach Tom Hanna add-
ed 14 kills and fellow senior
Terry Hosmer slammed down
IO kills.
Hanna was pleased with the
play of the team during the
,Georgia
Southern match.
"Everyone did their job," he
said. "The Georgia Southern
game showed what we could do
under pressure - it was a great
match."
In its second match, Marist
scored an impressive 2-0 deci-
sion over Webster 15-13, 15-12.
Hanna led the Marist charge by
slamming down 14 kills. Azarra
dished
out
33 assists
and
Hosmer chipped in with
I I
kills
and one ace.
After jumping out to a 2-0
start, the Red Foxes were
defeated 2-1 in a closely con-
tested battle with Colorado Col-
lege 7-15, 15-10, 15-5. Once
again, Azzara fueled Marist by
dishing out 21 assists and Han-
na knocked down l I kills. Han-
na said that the play of Col-
orado College picked up as the
match wore on.
"They started to block well,"
Hanna said. "They had one
streak on us that opened
it
up
and we did not chip away at the
lead."
Saturday, the Red Foxes
dropped both of their matches
at the hands of Southern
Methodist
University
and
Webster.

What Bruce wants, he gets, just ask Ismail
When I grow up, I wanna be
Bruce McNall.
McNall doesn't fool around. He
knows what he wants and he gets
it. They say money can't buy hap-
piness, but McNall may say
differently.
McNall wanted Notre Dame's
Raghib Ismail to catch passes and
return kicks for his Toronto
Argonauts of the Canadian Foot-
ball League.
Not a problem. All he had to do
to the lure the 'Rocket' from the
National Football League was
guarantee the star an $18 million
contract over four years. With in-
centives, the agreement could reach
$26
million - not bad for someone
that has yet to play a down in pro-
fessional football.
With one team in the league gone
and attendance on the decline,
McNall wanted to make sure his
team wouldn't have the same pro-
blem. Enter Ismail - the most ex-
citing player in college football last
season.
Included in the contract are two
condominiums for Ismail - one in
Toronto, one in Los Angeles.
When he retires, the 'Rocket' will
also receive 10 percent ownership
of the Argonauts.
Not a bad deal considering the
fact that he probably wouldn't
have earned half that in the NFL.
While many are questioning the
amount of inoney paid to profes-
sional athletes, McNall doesn't
seem to be worried about the sud-
den surge. Besides, he may have
started it.
Back in 1988, McNall, who also
owns the Los Angeles Kings of the
National Hockey League, wanted
Wayne Gretzky.
No problem. Two players, three
first-round draft· picks and $15
million later, a teary-eyed Gretzky
was on his to Los Angeles. At the
time, he said, "I will pay Wayne
whatever it takes to make him hap-
py." His salary at the time
was
over
$2 million per year. Now it is over
$3 million.
His theory at the time was
somewhat the same. He wanted to
increase the popularity of hockey
Thursday
Morning
Quarterback
MIK~
O'FARRELL
in Los Angeles and raise the atten-
dance. What a better way to do it
than by getting the best hockey
player on the planet.
Friday, he did the same thing
.
with the 'Rocket.' He wanted the
most exciting player available, so
he went out and got him.
There is one major difference
between the Gretzky and Ismail
situation -
experience.
At the time McNall wanted Gret-
zky,
he was already the
best
hockey
player in the business. Therefore,
it wasn't much of a gamble to pay
top dollar for him.
(It
seems
strange that spending over
$
15
million is
not
considered
a
gamble.)
With Ismail, McNall is getting an
unproven professional. Sure, the
'Rocket'
had a terrific collegiate
•
career and probably will run circles
around CFL defenders; however,
he is still a gamble because he has
not yet shown be can do it on the
next level.
That doesn't seem to bother
McNall though. As far as he is con-
cerned, the 'Rocket' is going to pay
off in the long run because he is go-
ing to pay his own salary by put-
ting bodies in the stands. Ismail
was on his list and he was going to
get him -
no matter what the
price.
This type of spending is nothing
new to the 41-year old McNall.
Seventeen years ago, McNall
borrowed $420,000 to buy a 2,000
year old Greek coin. He then turn-
ed around and sold it for
$
1
million. An avid coin collector,
McNall has established a mail-
order coin company worth over S20
million. Not a bad investment.
a movie company that produced
both Mr. Mom and W argarnes -
both of which grossed more than
$100 million.
He thought it would be a good
idea to get into the race horsing
business so he bought a couple.
Now, his $50,000 investment has
turned into a stable that is now
worth over $15 million.
One of the hottest investments
today are baseball cards. Realizing
this, McNall -
with help from
Gretzky -
purchased one of the
famed Honus Wagner cards for an
incredible $450,000. Again, he
wanted it so he bought it.
It would be great to be like Bruce
McNall.
When
you
want
something, you buy it. When it
begins to bore you sell it for
millions.
