Cost of living outpaces f acuity salaries
by
CHRIS SHEA
Editorial Page Editor
Faculty should not anticipate salary
decreases despite a national recession and
state budget cuts, said Marist President Den-
nis J. Murray.
Yet, for the first time in 10 years, average
faculty salaries nationwide failed to iceep
pace with the 6 percent increase in the cost
of living, the The Chronicle of Higher
Educationreported.
Marist full professors earned, on average,
$50,400 last fiscal year:_~ up 4 percent from
the previous year, according to The
Chronicle.
Murray, whose own salary jumped 22 per-
cent last year to $183,000, said some of the
faculty are frustrated and even angry at the
salary issue -
he said they have a right to
be. But, he said, "I don't control it."
William Olsen, chairperson of the Facul-
ty Executive Committee, said any possibili-
ty of a cut in faculty salaries would be
unacceptable.
"Faculty salaries are important for the at-
traction of new faculty and the retention of
the old. The resources need to be put towards
the principal goal of this institution -
educating students. And this requires, first
and foremost, a strong faculty," he said.
Murray said the financial situation facing
the college will affect his earnings too.
He said he expects his salary to drop to
about $170,000 this year because the com-
pensation for similar positions are declining
nationwide. However, Murray maintained
his salary is reflective of the current market.
The president's salary is ultimately set by
a committee on the Board of Trustees.
Cost of living increases also outpaced the
salaries of three top administrators:
·
Mark
Sullivan, executive vice president, earned
$95,400 -

Marc
vanderHeyden, • academic vice president,
$81,885
-
up 2.6 percent and Anthony
Campilii, chief finance officer, $73,034 -
up 3.7 percent.
Other Marist faculty or. administration
earning more than $60,000 include: Harry
Wood, vice president for admissions and col-
l~ge enrollment, at $77,886, Gerard Cox,
dean of student affairs, at $74,000, Okmar
Sharma, chairperson of the Division of Math
and Science, at $73,740, Carl Gerberich, vice
president for information services, at
$68,900, Lee Miringoff, director of the
Marist Institute for Public Opinion and full
professor, at $68,801, Gerald McBride,
director of information systems, at $65,381
Jchn MacDonald, full professor of computer
science, at $64,661 .
The salary of the Marist faculty compared
wel_l to colleges both regionally, and
nationally.
The average compensation of full pro-
fessors, associate professors and assistant
professors all were ranked in the top 20 per-
cent of national four-year Baccalaureate in-
stitutions in the country, The Chronicle
reported last month.
Route 9 plans upset businesses
The new dunking den
by
L
YNAIRE BRUST
Staff Writer
The New York State Department
of Transportation
announced
recently that Route 9 will be ex-
panded to the east and notified
several businesses -
including
Skinners and Settembre's -
that
their buildings will be demolished.
•
•
"The propertjes
on the east side
of Route 9 from Washington Street
to Fulton Street will be acquired
and demolished,"
said Phil
Crocker, project manager of the
Route 9 expansion.
Those businesses and the homes
will be bought by the state at "fair
market value" and will then be
relocated, according to Crocker.
But business owners on the east
side say they don't want to move
or be moved.
"I don't think it's fair, and it's
not right," said Mary Jane Settem-
bre, who owns Settembre's
Restaurant with her husband Sam.
"Marist is our bread and but-
ter," Settembre said. "They're giv-
ing us about another school year
here and then we have to be out."
-
Another business that doesn't
want to move is Skinners, which
has been in the same location for
63 years.
"They said they want to relocate
us," said Edwin Beck, co-owner of
Skinners. "We don't want a cor-
ner in Clinton Corners, we want
this corner."
"There aren't many comers like
this in the county," Beck said.
According to Crocker, the DOT
makes every effort to relocate the
businesses within the same area.
"This minimizes the impact on the
tax base," Crocker said.
But Settembre's is circulating a
petition among Marist students to
try and move their business onto
the campus.
-
Road plans at
south entrance
A
new road, which will connect·
Route 9 and Washingion Avenue,
is being planned as part of the ex-
pansion of Route 9, according to
Tom Daly, director of the Office
of Physical Plant.
The road, which will be directly
across from Marist's south en-
trance, is scheduled to be con-
structed at the current location of
the Mid-Hudson Mack building
and end where.the K & D Deli is
currently located.
Both buildings will be demolish-
ed, according to the current New
York
State
Department
of
Transportation plans.
"This new road will allow traf-
fic to get in and out of Marist much
better," said Mark Sullivan, ex-
ecutive vice president.
The·south entrance to Marist will
be moved a few feet to the south
to create a direct intersection with
the new road, according to Daly.
A traffic light will be installed to
controll traffic, which currently
"bottle necks" in front of the
south entrance.
Construction on the Route 9 ex-
pansion is scheduled to begin in
1993, according to DOT plans.
"We have the about 400
signatures, and we hope to get
more,"
Settembre said. "The
students love us, and we love them,
and it would be great if we could
get on campus."
Skinners is also trying to remain
in the area by moving his business
back the 50 feet that the DOT
needs to widen the road.
"They are going to take the
whole building," Beck said; "All
we ask is that we can rebuild what
we have."
"We don't want anything special
or anything bigger," said Beck.
"Financially what it costs to
rebuild and that's all."
Beck and Chris Turek, the co-.
owners of the restaurant, own the
house
behind
Skinners,
so
relocating would be rebuilding and
re-applying for a liquor licensee.
"We understand there may be a
problem with the new liquor
license," said Lisa Beck-Simmons,
Beck's daughter. "There may be a
problem with the proximity to the
college."
The liquor license that the bar·
currently holds applies to the loca-.
tion, not the business.
The recently named historic sites
·at Marist have caused owners like
Beck and the Settembres to say
they feel there is an injustice in the
decision.
,
"We pay $50,000 a year in sales
tax," Beck said. "That stone
building over there doesn't pay a
quarter," said Beck, referring to
the Keiran Gatehouse.

Editorial Page Editor
Marist's upcoming accreditation
review by the Middles States
Association
of Colleges and
Schools, scheduled for the fall of
1992, is not what many people
think it is, according to Mark
Sullivan, executive vice president.
The review by the regional
organization actually hinges on a
self-evaluation process done by
Marist itself, Sullivan said.
Sullivan and Edward O'Keefe,
professor of psychology, co-chair
a steering committee that oversees
the self examination that every col-
lege must undergo before accredita-
tion review.
The committee comprises ad-
ministration, faculty, staff and one
student representative.
The steering committee oversees
18 other sub-committees, compos-
ed of different faculty, administra-
tion, staff and students, each of
which study a specific aspect of
Marist life ranging from the library
to institutional integrity.
Each sub-committee
is co-
chaired by one faculty member and
one member of the administration.
Sullivan and O'Keefe both
stressed that the point of the Mid-
dle States review is to take an ob-
jective look at Marist and see how
certain areas are addressed.
"(The study) is a measure of how
well you (the college) know your
strengths and weaknesses in your
institution and also what you're do-
ing about them," he said.
Rumors that Marist may lose its
accreditation because of problems
with the library or problems with
the Marist/Vassar teacher educa-
tion

are totally unfound-
ed, Sullivan said.

Some members of the Marist
community are not only bringing
their briefcases and lunches to cam-
pus, they are bringing their per-
sonal trash, according to Marc
Adin, assistant vice president.
"To bring your trash to work to
avoid paying is unconscionable,"
said Adin, "It's your civic respon-
sibility to take care of your trash."
In a memo to the community,
Adin wrote throwing personal trash
into college dumpsters is a "theft
of services."
Adin estimated this has cost the
college from about a few thousand
.
dollars to up to $20,000.

Alleva said she has already been offered

Eighteen members of the Sigma

The event raised about $400
through pledges for the Astor
Headstart program that helps
disadvantage children prepare for
kindergarten, said Kevin Scatigno,
president of the fraternity.
"On a whole, the day had many
benefits," said Lawrence Darrow,
a junior business major from
Westfield, N.J. "In addition to
assisting a worthy cause, it was a
great opportunity to get closer to
my brothers."

coincide with the decision to ex-

Sullivan, executive vice president.
"Not coincidentally, we wanted
to proceed with that process prior
to the decision to be made on the
expansion of Route 9," said
Sullivan.
There are many other reasons
Route 9 is not expanding to the
Marist side of the road, according
to Sullivan.

The fraternity brothers rented a

one point, two at another point -
two miles down the road, and
another two, two more miles
ahead. Each pair would walk the
distance and then get in the van at
the other's starting point.
"We were able to cover six miles

According to Crocker, the DOT

Marist will lose the North Road
houses and that will cause a hous-

Sullivan.
"We would gain income by

apply towards the creation of the

of the new dorm have not been set,

This year The Circle celebrated
•
.,
..
its silver anniversary. From Viet-
nam to the Gulf, Yippies to Yup-
pies and Donnelly to Dyson, The
Circle has been Marist's voice for
the past 25 years. Through the
years, The Circle has mirrored the
image of_Marist, its people and the
times.
"I
didn't
know
anything about star-
ting a paper."
■
It began one evening in 1966
when two undergrads were drink-
ing beer in the campus pub, the
Rathskeller, known today as the
River Room. Ed Lowe, now a col-
umnist at Newsday, remembers
that evening Student Government
President Bob Johnson asked him
if he would like to start a paper on
campus.
"I
said that
I
didn't know
anything about starting a paper,"
recalled Lowe in a recent telephone
interview, "and Johnson said
that's not what I asked you. Do
you
want
to start a paper here on
campus?"
Within the next half-hour Lowe
recruited his roommate to be sports
editor and another friend to take
on the responsibility of managing
editor.
"It was one of those moments
where a light went on and someone
said you can either take the oppor-
tunity or leave it," remembered
Lowe, who credits his experience
with The Circle as one that chang-
ed his life.
Of course, Lowe recalled, the
first issue of the paper was terrible.
And one column, written by him,
about outdoor art on campus
found him answering to then Presi-
dent Linus Foy.
Foy made Lowe realize two
things. "He told me that I had a
lot of power and that I had an
obligation to exercise it respon-
sibly," said Lowe. That was the
first thing.
The second was that the paper
had an audience.
Responding to this audience in
1968, Paul Browne decided to
change the distribution of The Cir-
cle from once a month to a weekly
publication. Browne, who is special
projects director for the New York
State Police Department, was
formerly vice president for College
Advancement at Marist.
"Transforming The Circle into
a weekly paper was a major ac-
complishment that gave students a
serious college newspaper," said
Browne.
The Circle has been published
weekly ever since.
■
During the early 1970s, The Cir-
cle attempted to initiate a different
style. With the War in Vietnam, the
killing of four students at Kent
State and detente between the
United States and the Soviet Union
on students' minds, the editors of
The Circle tried to illuminate
realities beyond Route 9.
According to James Daly, the
paper began to incorporate a
magazine format.
"We would dedicate four of
eight pages of an issue to one
topic," said Daly.
Among the topics: the war,
drugs and race relations - all signs
of very changing times.
The Circle reflected the changes
that were sweeping the campus.
"When I came to Marist we had to
wear a jacket and tie and had an
11 p.m. curfew," Daly said, now
an investment broker and former-
ly Marist's dean of admissions. By
the time he left, the dress code had
ended, the curfew was gone, and
Marist had admitted its first
women in the day division.
The changes fueled the passion
of students and made for some
more creative writing, Daly said.
One of those colorful writers was

As the late 1970s emerged, The
Circle continued to transform. If
the beginning of the decade sym-
bolized activism and confrontation
for The Circle, the end or it saw the
paper being accused or having an
extremely negative format.
This negative tone eventually led
to the creation of an alternative
newspaper on campus that attemp-
ted to focus on the brighter side of
academia.
After the resignation of a facul-
ty advisor
to
The Circle and a
change in the editorial staff, The
Circle merged with its competitor
and was once again the sole paper
on campus.

by
JENNIFER. CHANDLER
Staff Writer
In the early 1970s, Marilyn Mur-
ray found herself working for the
City of Long Beach, Calif., as a
community relations liaison. Her
job
was
to involve blacks and
Hispanics in the planning of low-
income housing.
Now, nearly two decades later,
she still clearly recalls the condi-
tions she witnessed.
"Coming from a middle-class
family, I had never been aware of
going into a house and seeing 10
kids lying on the floor covered by
a rug to keep warm,'' said Mrs.
Murray, the wife of Marist Presi-
dent Dennis
J.
Murray.
Today, Mrs. Murray combines
the roles of mother, community
volunteer, home maker, sometimes
car pool driver and wife of a col-
lege president, but caring about the
needs ot' others continues to be a
big part of her life beyond the
Marist campus.
Peter Amato, associate dean of
student affairs, knows Mrs. Mur-
ray from speaking with her at
various college functions over the
years.
"Mrs. Murray is sincerely in-
terested in the well-being of the col-
lege and the students,"
said
Amato. "She is a super mom and
fulfills the enormous respon-
sibilities of a president's wife ad-
mirably."
Being the ~ife of a college presi-
dent has often meant doing a lot of
backstage things most people don't
know about like planning menus or
choosing the seating order for func-
tions held at their home, said Mrs.
Murray.
Yet she is also invoh·cd outside
of the Marist community.
Besides being the mother of two
children, ages 11 and 8, Mrs. Mur-
ray, 43, serves
as
a Girl Scout
leader, writes a newsletter for the
American Cancer Society and has
just finished working on the year-
book for her children's school.
She grew up in Los Angeles in a
middle-income family with one
brother, 12 years younger.
Mrs. Murray was first introduc-
ed to her future husband in high
school when she
was
13 and he was
14.
Mrs. Murray recalls how they
first met.
"Dennis was looking through
the wallet of a 2irl we both knew
and when he cariie to my picture he
said, 'I want to meet that one,"'
said Mrs. Murray who was been
married to Murrav
since
19il.
They dated ali through high
school when
she
was head-
cheerleader and he was captain of
the football team and on through
college, though they did periodical-
ly date other people.
"Although we dated other peo-
ple also," said Mrs. Murray.
"There wasn't any point in time
that Dennis and I weren't going
together."
After
receiving
a
home
economics degree from San Diego
State, Mrs. Murray taught and
later directed
at
a nursery school
where she worked with children
with psychiatric problems from
single-parent families.
While working on her husband's
campaign for Congress in 1972,
Mrs. Murray developed an intere.,;t
in politics and got a job in Long
Beach telling the public about equal
housing planning for the poor.
\1rs. Murray dedded to go back
to
school
to get her \taster's degree
in public administration from Long
Beach State University.
Later, Mrs. Murray went
10
work tor the Southern California
Association for Governments as a
public participation coordinator in
charge of the entire public relations
program.
Although she never received her
Master's while at Long Beach,
Mrs. Murray did take comprehen-
sive tests while at Marist that enabl-
ed her to receive her degree at one
of Marist's graduations.
Mrs.
Murray also got involved in
the planning of the Senior Recep-
tion, held for all graduating senior
girls, and the Leadership Dinner
for club officers. Both arc held
traditionally every year.

A quarter of a century
,and
still Circle-ating
For
25
years, the editorial page of The Circle has explored hundreds of issues
which affect the students of Marist College. From politics to alcohol policies
to academia, the editorial staffs throughout a quarter of a century have at-
tempted to praise, question, define, suggest, and highlight these issues.
In this issue, during our 25th Silver Anniversary, The Circle has compiled
some
editorials from past issues. Some of these editorials are not unlike the
issues Marist students talk about today; others reflect the sentiments of the
times. And some are just interesting. We'll let you decide.
February 20, 1969
"Alan Hulett, president of the Student Council, was acquitted of charges
of negligence in a mock council trial at 1 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 14, 1969 ... When
asked about the future of the Student Council, Mr. Hulett said he did not foresee
much change
...
Before a vote was taken the president announced he would resign
if not impeached. Later Mr. Hulett reneged on this plea, explaining it as an
act of minor irrational behavior."
April 30, 1970
"It
is a fact that a guy can sit in his room for four years, pull a 3.7, graduate

"With all the bull about the shape the college is in and the way functions
and monies
are
handled, with all the gripes about the bureaucracy and
disorganization, there fails to have come forth anyone person or group with
or without alternatives to the problems."
·
September 21, 1972
"This week's narcotics arrest in Leo brought the harsh world of law enforce-
ment back to the campus ... We are not condoning or condemning the use of
drugs ... Once
again
we are slapped in the face with the reality that Marist Col-
lege is the real world, as are drugs."
April 14, 1977
"Apathy. That's what we say about Marist, about us. But the Mccann Center
is open now. That's not really news. The fact that it finally
is

"Like all other schools in New York, Marist will soon find itself under the

...
Legislation requires states to adopt a drinking age of

...
Rather
than trying to help students understand and adjust to this change, the Ad-
ministration must first look to the law and its liabilities as top priority. In dealing
with the issue, the administration must be the parent, not the friend."
April 17, 1986
"Stale
negotiations between the Marist administration and its employees are
dulling much

Marist's team spirit. But more importantly, students themselves
now feel the effects of escalating tensions stemming from problems in group

protest contract disputes. They are refusing to sign override cards and have
drastically cut back the number of hours they spend on campus."
Corrections
A letter headlined "Viewpoint refuted"
was printed in the Apr. 25 issue of The Cir-
cle and signed by Daniel Berrin, senior. Ber-
rin says he did not write the letter and The
Circle regrets having printed it.
In a feature story published on Apr. 25,
"Theatre class takes to the s1age perform-
ing student-written plays," Anndalena Glaze
was identified as having been lase year's reci-
pient of the John P. Anderson Memorial
Award. Glaze did not recieve that award.
Parts of the humor column headlined
"Out of college, the stress is up to you,"
(Apr. 25) were written in poor taste. It
depicted Harlem in a bad light, and implied
stereotypes about that community which
were offensive to readers. It also reinforced
stereotypes about women and taxi drivers
that it should not have. The Circle does not
intend to offend its readership with such
stereotypes and implications.

Bush learns to deal
with education problems
Thinking
Between
The
Lines
CHRIS SHEA
Can you read this sentence?
George Bush hopes you can. And if you
can't, he wants to help you.
Yet, a huge irony exists in Bush's attempt
to live up to his billing as the "education
president."
While '' America 2000'' hopes to teach kids
better math skills, it also may confuse them.
·The
price tag on many parts of Bush's plan
is high. The system of national
examinations,
for instance, could cost as much as $100
million.
You don't have to be an adult to realize
that with this country's current budget crisis,
that much money just doesn't add up.
But I'm not knocking the plan. It's
a
good
start for dealing with one of this country's
biggest problems -
not enough educated
workers. I'm just wondering how we're go-
ing to pay for it.
A start would be a change in thinking on
the part of the Bush administration.
Apparently, our government's notion of
"paying for higher education" is changing.
It has been discovered
•
that Stanford
University was overcharging the government
for research - perhaps by as much as $200
million over the past ten years. This money
went for such obvious educational necessities

Instead the money will go to local com-
munities and their schools.
This is a good sign.
*******
Another financial issue that we may be
seeing in the news for a long time involves
the possible establishment of the North
American Free Trade Agreement. The
NAF-
T A would establish free trade between the
United States, Canada and Mexico.
Free trade already exists between the
United States and Canada, with whom we
import and export more than $175 billion
annually.
The possibility of the agreement, which
would create an economic body with a GNP
of $6 trillion, is being opposed intensely by
labor unions who feel American companies
will transplant manufacturing (and more im-
portantly workers) to Mexico because it's
cheaper.
This country has a lot to gain from enter-
ing in a free-trade agreement with Mexico.
It would create an economic force that stret-
ches from the Arctic Circle to the Yucatan
Peninsula and incorporates 362 million
people.
The economic disaster known as Eastern
Europe does not provide a feasible new
marketplace ripe for expansion by American
companies, but Mexico
does.
Mexico's population is about 82 million,
with half of this being under the age of 15.
It will provide a strong work force and con-
sumer base for decades to come.
With the European community bonding
together and the emergence of the Pacific
Rim countries and Japan, it's about time
America fortified itself to prepare for the
global market.

Preschool clarification
Editor:
I would like to clarify some information
about the Marist Preschool that has ap-
peared in recent issues of The Circle and then
to urge your readers to support current ef-
forts to retain the Preschool by making their
positions
known
to
the
college
administration.
The establishment and continuation of the
preschool over the past I
5
years represents
an early recognition by the psychology facul-
ty of an emerging societal need. A need that
most of us know has become ever more
critical over the years.
Marist College administrators, by pro-
viding viable space for the preschool, limited
though it may be, and by assuming all costs
related to heating, lighting, maintenance and
groundskeeping
in that
area,
have
demonstrated their recognition of the com-
munity and parents in our student popula-
tion, to have safe and convenient daycare for
their
preschool children.
Because the college has shouldered these
operational expenses, it has been possible for
the preschool to maintain very reasonable
fees to parents while at the same time offer-
ing staffing by quality personnel.
I think it is important to acknowledge that
the preschool has never
been
self-supporting,
bu! rather that its presence on campus
is
due
to the efforts and support of many.
I would also like to comment on the
preschool playground installed last year.
Thanks to a major donation bo $1300 by a
Marist employee, Joann Mead and her hus-
band, we were able to purchase the equip-
ment. Installation costs were borne by Marist
College and volunteer labor was contributed
by three Marist faculty, Ors. Brian Hill, Fred
MacManus and Royce White.

Mark Sullivan, has undertaken the task of

durmg mid-terms and finals that's not
enough. There are only 19 functioning com-
puters between the hours of 10:30 p.m. and
8 a.m. throughout the week in Donnelly.
If the school considered ideas such as
these, the ever-growing battle between the
student and the computer would begin to
subside. Students would not have to wait in
long lines, pulling their hair out and worry-
ing whether or not their papers will be
finished.
There is simply no excuse for the lack of
availability of computers for student use on
this campus. Students and/or the students'
parents are paying large sums of money to
go to Marist, and as a result they should be
treated accordingly.
Every semester at Marist during both
midterms and finals, the computer room is
swamped with students trying to finish their
work on the Marist IBM PS/2s. It does not
seem like there should be any reason for this
lack of computers. In fact, there are many
reasons why Marist should have enough ter-
minals for the student body to use.
First, if Marist recently implemented a
five-year, $10 million joint study with IBM,
why are the computers always broken down?
Why doesn't the school simply open

Rape victims deserve privacy
Editor:
This letter is in response to the
column concerning the morality of
revealing the name of rape victims
(Chris Shea, Apr.25).
I find it highly commendable
that author Chris Shea chose to
take a stand on the issue of rape.
It is an issue that needs to be ad-
dressed further, not only on cam-
pus, but in our society at large.
However, I personally hold a very
different viewpoint on the matter
of publicly disclosing the victim's
name.
The author believes that, ideal-
ly, naming a victim would reduce
the stigma attached with a crime
such
as
rape - perhaps. However,
realistically the additional pain and
trauma endured by revealing the
name would outweigh the moral
victory of re-educating the public
for some victims.
Do I believe that rape victims
should suffer in silence? No, but
sometimes suffering in solitude of-
fers more relief than sharing that
pain -
temporarily anyway. In
crimes such as rape, the victim
often needs to come to terms with
the events personally, before she
can share those events with others.
Accepting the rape is one of the
biggest steps in the healing process
of a rape victim, and often, that
process must be a solo journey.
I too believe people should
become angry when they realize
that 240 women are raped every
day in this country. I believe peo-
ple should question and condemn
the background of the attacker.

Cheating: the only
way to get ahead?
by
JOHN RENALS
Today, in the age of materialistic
values and where winning is
everything, people will do anything
to reach the goal that seems so
ominous in our society: fame and
fortune.
However, with the tough com-
petition and limited job market,
many people will take that one ex-
tra step in achieving such a goal,
not to be the best they can be, but
simply to be the best.
Hard work and determination
would seem to be the logical solu-
tion in obtaining such goals, but to-
day's society would rather achieve
something faster and easierl and us-
ing someone else's work as your
own can
·give·people
that one extra
•
step in their job, in life and in
sports.
Reasons such as these is why
cheating, the passing of someone
~Jse's work as your own, may be
perceived as helpful and harmless
to many.
Why is it that people cheat? And
why is it that when they do cheat,
they don't feel bad about their ac-
tions? These questions are very
hard to answer directly, but many
logical assumptions can be made as
to why people do indeed cheat.
Cheating, for many people,
begins when they are little children
going to school,
for
school seems
to be the place where people learn
to cheat and become good at
cheating. From a very young age,
children are pressured by their
parents to do well in school.
But what many parents tend to
leave out is that doing your best is
sometimes more important than
being the best. And because many
children feel they have to be
the
best, they learn that by cheating
there is a way to show their parents
and friends they are the best, or
that they are the smartest.
By cheating from their fellow
student's test, children are not on-
ly fooling their teachers, but fool-
ing their parents as well, on how
smart they actually are or how well
they are really doing. But many
times, children are also rewarded
for
a
job well done by
their
parents;
and with this fortune the children
receive, they feel that cheating can
bring good to them without hard
work or even without working at
all.
From here, these children only
get better and more experienced at
the art of cheating, as cheating now
comes to them subconciously,
·without even thinking about what
they are doing. Not only do these
students (probably about 13 or 14
by now) simply look on their fellow
students' tests, but they also
become more "sophisticated" at
cheating by making little "cheat
sheets"
as
well: tiny papers with
notes and answers written on them.
Students also begin to start steal-
ing tests from teachers and copy-
ing papers from friends a year or
two older than they are. These
methods of cheating seem to lead
up to the master of all tests for a
high school junior and/or senior:
the SATs.
Some people, who have become
so dependent on cheating in school,
when they realize they can't cheat
on these tests, tend to score poorly
because of their lack of studying.
The others, who "need" to cheat
to score well to get into college, and
are afraid of what their scores will
•
show: will pay one of their friends
to take the test for them.
'Thi.s need to cheat does not stop

A'.ftet
hi'gn
·:sctioo\
comes college (where many of the
same methods of cheating in high
school are used), then in their jobs,
with their girlfriends or boyfriends,
their spouses, etc.
The reason most of these people
do cheat, however, is not because
they are uneducated or dumb, but
because it brings them fortune and
rewards through easy work. Peo-
ple today want to obtain the fame
and fortune that brings them so
much happiness as quick and easy
as possible, no matter who they use
or hurt.
There also tends to be a source
of self-satisfaction in getting away
with cheating. People find it flat-
tering and almost funny that they
receive a bigger reward from
cheating than others who do the
hard work themselves.
So goes true for athletics. In
every sport, there are athletes who
need that extra step to make it "to
the show." Unfortunately, the only
way for some of these athletes to
do so is to take steroids, a drug that
builds up the physical and athletic
prowess of an athlete.
Another way of cheating in
sports, for example, is in baseball,
where pitchers throw illegal pitches
called spit balls and where hitters
put cork in their bats to improve
their pop. In football, the players
try to get away with as many
penalties and illegal actions as
possible, such as holding, illegal use
of the hands, etc.
From school, to work, to a
spouse, to athletics, people love
and feel the need to cheat. People
cheat, not because they have to, but
because they want to.
By cheating, they can achieve a
higher goal faster and easier than
those who work hard and long at
something.
The guilt aspect does not seem to
affect these cheaters, for these peo-
ple in society are, in a way, greedy
and self-centered. As long as they
get to the top and achieve their
goals, they don't care how it's
done.

minutes later, she was back out in a a fringe dress. And in five more
minutes, the audience saw her in yet another outfit.
While a 1,000 people at the Mid-Hudson
.Civic
Center were basking
in the glitz of an evening when 18 chic models made their seemingly-
effortless
strolls down a runway, fashion design students were checking
pantihose for runners, tossing on bracelets and unbuckling sandals. On-
ly a few feet separated the model's carefree stage presence from the
behind-the-scene chaos which even the most attentive audience member
couldn't see at last Thursday's show held at the civic center for the first
time.
About SO people, 150 pairs of shoes, a table-full of jewelry and 85
outfits crammed the backstage area, not much bigger than a Marist
classroom. Students rushed to get models dressed in record time, touch-
ed up their makeup and hair and put them in line to entertain the crowd
again.
And if they had a free second, they flocked to an inch-hole in the wood,
the only connection students had with the fun-loving audience outside.
"I peeked through the whole dress rehearsal," said Lorraine Betz whose
Hollywood picture dress was included in the show. "I guess I'll have
to wait for the video to see everything."
So will Sheila Clancy.
Clancy had to forget about her two two Silver Needle Awards and a
kiss from acclaimed designer Charles Francis Roth in favor of prepar-
ing the models for their trips down the runway.
"This is the highlight of my life - it's everything I ever dreamed of,"
said Clancy, a senior from Albany, N.Y. "But I want to be out there
looking. It's real exciting knowing that people like your designs."
Clancy had been putting backing on her sequined "Monopoly" scarf
until 7:13 p.m., two minutes before the 90-minute show began.
In fact, several other designers and helpers pushed to get their outfits
picture perfect amid the bustling backstage where no one sat down unless
it was to add a few more beads to a dress.
Carmine Porcelli, the director of the fashion program, couldn't even
relax during the show. He stationed himself near the entrance to the stage
where he gave last-minute advice to models and encouragement to the
eight students who won Silver Needle Awards.
And occasionally he peered through the inch-hole too, anxious to see
if the famous designers in attendance -
Carmelo Pomodoro, Michael
Kors, Michael Leva and Marc.Jacobs, among others - approved of the
outfits they helped the students create.
"Beautiful," he said as he saw Kor's expression when Ploucquet, a
blond, 26-year-old model from Poughkeepsie, graced the stage with junior
Suzette Roland's award-winning fringe designs. "Just beautiful."

ly scarf and chane card won the Charles Francis Roth
award at this year's fashion show.

Unfortunately, the background
that becomes scrutinized is that of
the woman - the innocent person,
the victim.
Publicizing her identity, without
consent, would only further add to
her pain and suffering. • All to
often, when the identity of the vic-
tim is revealed, the public becomes
so engulfed in the story that they
. forget who it is that actually has
been violated.
An additional point I would like
to address is that concerning the
male/female viewpoint on the sub-
ject of rape. I do not hold a dif-
ferent viewpoint from the author
because I am a different sex nor
do I dismiss his viewpoints ~use
he is not a woman. Rape is not a
woman's crime; when a rape is
con:imitted, it is committed against
society as a whole and targeted
towards one individual - usually
a woman.
One view I do share with the
author, however, is that we as a
society, need to concentrate ~n the
issue of rape more than we need to
concentrate on the issue of reveal-
ing names. If we all learned as in-
dividuals to respect the rights of
each other, inhumane acts such as
rape would not occur in our
society.

Rider to compete in Nationals
by
AMY ANSON
Staff
Writer
While most Marist students will
be cramming for finals this
weekend, Joy Lindo will be riding
her horse.
Lindo,
a member
of the
equestrian club, will be competing
at the national level for the Inter-
collegiate Horse Show Association.
The event is being held in Virginia.
According to Lindo, there are
two categories or riders competing
at the nationals. The flat class con-

created enough water pressure to
split the shell into two pieces.
• ''Things just happened to fast,''
coxswain Holly Boynton told The
Circle March 28.
"It
was handled
well, there wasn't any panic. We
were basically just scared. The
coaches did a good job."
After falling into the
33
degree
water, the crew was then taken to
St. Francis Hospital. When body
temperatures returned to normal,
the crew was released. There were
no serious injuries.
Who would have thought that
after
losing two players to
academics and the number one
goaltender to an injury that the
hockey club would be competing
for the division championship?
After losing the three players,
Head Coach Bob Mattice told The
Circle on Dec. 6, "I really don't
know what we are going to do yet,
we'll just have to make do."
The Red Foxes were forced to
forfeit two victories and a tie
because the two players were in-
eligible during those games.
However, Marist concluded the
regular season with a mark of
9-8-1,
good enough for the
playoffs.
In the finals,
Marist met
Southern
Connecticut
State
University for the third time this
season. The teams split the first two
meetings and Southern defeated the
Red Foxes 5-4 in the finals.
Mattice credited his team with
performing well through adversity.
"We just didn't overcome a pro-
blem here or _there," he said. "It's
easy to say that if we had a full
squad the entire year we would
have been better off. But the way
I look at it is considering what we
faced, we did a great job. 1 think
we had one helluva season and they
should be proud of that."
Filled \\ith tragedy and triumph,
surprises and disappointments, the
past year in Marist athletics was
one to remember.
With the impiementation of four
new spons teams next year, who
knows what lies ahe3d?
sists of riding while the fence class
consists jumping.
Lindo reached the nationals via
her performance
during the
equestrian season.
"A lot depends on the horse you
get," said Lindo. "You don't get
a chance to school (get a feel of) the
horse because every horse is pick-
ed by a random draw."
After earning more than 28
points during the season, she
qualified for the regionals where
she placed fourth in the fence class.
Lindo is no novice to riding. The
psychology major has been riding
since she was eight-years-old.
Lindo then moved on to the
zonals where she captured the fence
class.
"My favorite is hunter's jump-
ing," said Lindo. Hunter's jump-
ing, she said, is judged on the form
and performance of the horse.
"I was surprised at the zonals,"
said the 18-year-old who added that
luck has much to do with her
success.
Inter-collegiate
competition,
however, judges equestrian - the
performance and form of the rider.

important for us to stay in line with the NCAA. This is definitely a step
in the right direction for us."
. Also announced was the addition of 33 grants-in-aid to be awarded
over the next five years.

, The grants-in-aid will be distributed to athletes in each _sport, ~1th ~oc-
cer being the Northeast Conference's sport of emphasis, Dons said.
Who would have thought the football team would have finished the
season with an un-blemished 5-0 mark in conference play on its way to
winning its first ever Atlantic Collegiate Football Conference
championship?
After being blown out 56-14 in its first game of the year, the gridders
would post a 7-2-1 mark, the best in the school's 13 year history of Divi-
sion III football.
"Winning the conference feels real good," Head Co!lch Rick Pardy
told The Circle on Nov. 15. "This was a year we surprised a bunch of
people. We had to prove to people that we were a good team. This team
did that. At times, I think that they overplayed their abilities."
Pardy said the key to the team's success was unity.
"There was camaraderie and family on this team," he said. "You need
that to be successful. This team was always ready to play. They were
always mentally prepared and they bounced back from letdowns_."
Who would have thought that after posting a 17-11 mark last season,
the men's basketball team would finish this season with a dismal 6-22
mark?
For Head Coach Dave Magarity,
it
was a year of broken ladders, kidney
stones and missed free throws.
Entering the season, many thought the Red Foxes would contend for
the Northeast Conference championship.

However, Marist started the season off with a record 12 straight losses.
One bright spot for the Red Foxes was junior college transfer Fred

'Play ball': baseball is on it's way to Marist

The words "play ball" will ring
out in the fall of 1991 as baseball
comes to Marist.
Baseball is one of the new sports

Marist will play approximately

championship. Last season, he
.took Dutchess
to
the NJCAA
worid series.
Smith has been spending a great
deal of time on the road recruiting
and hopes his efforts will pay im-
mediate dividends come opening
day.
"I'd like to win our first game
and have a chance to win every
game," he said. "I'm cautiously
optimistic, I don't have any expec-
tations but every time we take the
field I want to know we have a
chance to win."
Realistically, it will probably
take the team three to five years to
become competitive in its con-
ference, said Doris.
The upstart of the baseball pro-
gram gives present students and in-
coming freshman an opportunity
to play baseball at the Division I
level.
Budget bumps Brown, is Marist next?
Last August, the Marist Depart-
ment of Athletics announced the
addition of two new men's and two
new women's sports to begin play
in the fall of 1991.
Tuesday, Brown University
an-
nounced the elimination of two
men's and two women's sports
beginning in the fall of 1991.
Brown, a member of the Ivy
League, made the reductions in an
effort to curtail $1.6 million from
the school's budget.
Men's golf and water polo along
with women's gymnastics and
volleyball were dropped. The cut-
backs, which will effect roughly 60
athletes,
will
save the school
$75,000 annually.
Brown, which will still field 27
men's and women's teams, is mak-
ing the cuts to try and avoid a
budget deficit for the 1991-92
school year.
Marist, on the other hand, is ad-
ding the four new sports to comp-
ly with National Collegiate Athletic
Association standards that require
Division I programs to offer seven
varsity sports for men and women.
With
the increasing concern over
Oov.
Mario
Cuomo's proposed
budget cuts, one has to wonder
if
Marist is too far behind.
It would seem that the answer is
no. The reason is simple: In order
to continue competing at the Divi-
sion I level, baseball, softball, and
indoor and outdoor track.
However, one question that
arises is how much funding the new
Marist athletic teams will really
receive.
Also announced in August were
the addition of 33 new grants-in-aid
to be distributed over the next five
years.
The four new sports, however,
will not be the sole recipients of
these "scholarships." The soccer
program will receive the most as it
is the sport "of emphasis" in the
Northeast Conference.
The baseball team, for example,
will be given six scholarships over
the next four years -
hardly
enough to support a growing
program.
Wnh the growing economic pro-
blems facing the college due to
declining admissions and Cuomo's
proposal, it will be harder for the
new
programs to
be
supported.

The time frame for reiative suc-
cess
of the new programs is three
years. Financially, if the economy
continues on its current path,
Marist may not be able to give the
support needed to make the pro-
grams successful within that time
frame.
Marist is more vulnerable than
Brown. It does not have

athletic
program as extensive as Brown.
Marist is just
trying
to keep up with
the standards set by_
the NCAA to
stay at the Division I level, while
Brown has more of an established
athletic department.
As the next few years unwind,
will Marist be able to keep up with
the Jones'. Are we that far away
from
becoming
another
Brown?
BY THE WAY ...
The Kentucky Derby won't be
the
same
without
Willie
Shoemaker.
What are Mark Spitz and Bjorn
Borg trying to prove anyway? Both
men recently were shot down in
comeback attempts. The question
is why? Can't these men unders-
tand their bodies can no longer do
what their mind wants?
When the W.L.A.F. (World
League of American Football)
started, the organizers wanted to
call it the World American Foot-
ball League. However,
they
thought that if the league did not
do very well, people would make
fun of its initials (W.A.F.L.) and
call it the "waffle" league.
I have
a
better idea for the
W.L.A.F. The way things are go-
ing for the new league, I thought
of changing its name to the
American World Football League
or -
A.W.F.L. -
awful!
For once, the_ National Hockey
League playoff system seems to be
working. Usually a waste of time
-
afterall, 16 of the league's 21
teams make it - the playoffs have
been
a
Dice
surprise
this
year.
Three of the top four teams in
the league have already been
eliminated. Now, as the NHL
"final four" takes place, look for
the Bruins to come away with the
Stanley Cup.
Speaking of playoffs, how about
those Knicks?
Did you hear about Lisa Olson?
After all the controversy surroun-
ding her incident with the Patriots
seemed to diminish, she decided to
sue the players and the organiza-
tion and leave the country for a
while. Olson will probably end up
with a hefty out of court settlement
and will never have the desire to set
foot in a locker room again. I'm
sure Victor Kiam would like to hear
that.
I
can't wait to go home and at-
tend my first game of the year at
Fenway Park, the best ballpark in
baseball. If you haven't seen a
game in Fenway, you haven't lived.
