College admits largest class in history
by
JENNIFER CHANDLER
Senior Editor
In a year when many private colleges in
the Northeast experienced tougher times at-
tracting prospective freshmen, Marist has ad-
mitted its largest and most diversified
freshmen class.
The number of freshmen enrolling this fall
- officially 904 - is around 100 more than
the college sought, creating overcrowding in
freshman dorms, forcing most of the junior
class into off-campus housing and adding a
burden to college facilities and services.
The class is 124 students larger than last
fall's class, and college administrators at-
tribute the greater interest in Marist to in-
creased out-of-state recruiting and an ex-
panded public relations campaign.
Although Marist received 4,250 applica-
tions this past year, five less than the year
before, and accepted about as many incom-
ing freshmen as in past years, the number of
students who said yes and mailed in money
deposits went up 6 percent, according to
Michelle Erickson, director of admissions.
The Admissions Office had expected to
receive 800 freshmen deposits, but by May
1 it had received 900 and by the end of the
week that number had grown to almost
1,000, said Erickson.
Realizing Marist could not facilitate such
an increase, said Erickson, the admissions of-
fice mailed back the around 80 deposits
received after May 1, with the option for
those students to come to Marist in January.
Private colleges nationwide were reporting
decreases in deposits of 2 to 13 percent, with
those hardest hit being in New England and
the rest of the ..Northeast, according to a
. survey in June by ·the Chronicle of Higher
Education.
•
To accommodate the increased number of
students, Housing initially took over the
fourth floor of Champagnat Hall for
freshmen, but as the number of freshmen
stayed above 900, it also took over the fifth,
said James Raimo, director of housing.
Until this year, freshmen were assigned to
the first three floors of Champagnat only,
with the remainder in Leo, Sheahan and
Marian halls.
Twenty-five double-occupancy rooms
have been turned into triples: three in
Marian, seven in Sheahan, 11 in Leo and
four ip Champagnat.
The admissions staff sent letters in May
informing students whose deposits arrived
just before the May 1 deadline that there was

by
JOHN MC AULIFFE
Staff Writer
With the possibility of a strike
everpresent, the Marist administra-
tion, the union representing
secretaries and clerical workers and
a federal mediator have worked out
a contract.
Earlier this month members of
the Communication Workers of
America, CW A, ratified the agree-
ment giving secretarial/clerical
workers a 4.1 percent raise across
the board and
cash settle.
After the two sides deadlocked,
a mediator was summoned to help
reach
an
agreement.
Marc Adin, assistant vice presi-
dent, said he beli.eved this contract
was a fair one.
"We get to keep some very
qualified people and pay a com-
parable wage," he said.
Adin was also very thankful.
"To lose 104 workers would
have
been
hard on the college. Both
parties realized this."
The major
roadblock
in negotia-
tions.
ac:cording
to Adin, involved
the salary base for the union
workers being too low.
Adin said state budget cuts also
played a role in negotiations.
Ms. Cathy Gallagher, chief
steward to the CW A and a worker
in the office of financial aid, said
the CW A only wanted salaries
comparable to those other clerical
workers in this area were receiving.
In the end, both sides made con-
cessions in order to avoid a strike.
On Sept 6, the contract was
ratified by both parties. Six days
later, CWA
members
signed
the
contract.
Elizabeth Jaycox, also a chief
steward and a secretary for the
Division of Science, said the agree-
ment
was reached
with
a
"unanimous deci~ion."
She also said both negotiating
teams worked long and hard to
reach this agreement.
Gallagher was also quick to
point out that if an agreement were
not .reached a strike would have
been the next step.

activities.
350 students attended Friday

"We were very happy," said
Lynch. "We were able to bring real
quality entertainment to our cam-

There were 36 students involved

"Everybody worked really well
together which was amazing con-
sidering they all had to learn their

the show started," said Thomson.
"They adjusted perfectly to the ex-
tra people and really made it look
like a comedy club."

"I heard people say that they
thought no one went to things at

THE CIRCLE, SEPTEMBER 19, 1991

BS journalist honored
by
MARY-CAY PROVOST
Staff Writer
The 1991 Lowell Thomas award
was presented to Charles Kuralt in
June at The Explorers Club in New
York City.
Lowell Thomas was a newscaster
who, feeling restricted by the televi-
sion studio atmosphere, logged
over a million miles to tell the
world of the obstacles overcome by
everyday men and women.
The award is sponsored by
Marist College and given to those
individuals whose lives and work in
the field of broadcasting have
shown the imagination, courage,
ambition and humanity Thomas
exhibited in his lifetime.
Kuralt, a CBS news correspon-
dent for the past 35 years, is the
ninth recipient of the award since
its establishment
in 1983 to
recognize outstanding individuals
in the communications industry.
According to Shaileen Kopec,
vice president for college advance-
ment, Kuralt is a truly gifted
speaker whose life bears a strong
resemblance to Thomas' in that
both men grew up in rural America
and because of their dislike of
studios, took to the road to do their
reporting.
.
After graduating
from the
University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill with a degree in
American History, Kuralt began
his career at the age of 21 as a col-
umnist and reporter for the
Charlotte News.
One year later, he moved to New
York and began his career at CBS,
where he has been a news cor-
respondent for the past 35 years,
writing the news for anchors.
Kuralt, also the anchor for the
CBS 'News-Sunday Morning' since
it first aired in 1979, proposed the
idea for his 'On the Road' series,
still in existence today, where he

travels all over the world telling the
human-interest stories.
The award ceremony, originally
held at the Helmsley Palace, was
held at the Explorers Club in New
York this June due to Kuralt's in-
volvement in covering Operation
Desert Storm.
Thomas had been an honorary
president for the Club for 20 years,
according to Kopec, who explain-
ed the reasons behind choosing the
new location
for the award
ceremony.
"The Explorers Club was of very
significant value to Thomas, so
having the ceremony there seemed
quite appropriate," said Kopec.
"It
was almost like Thomas was
there."
The presentation of the award in
June began the centennial celebra-
tion of Thomas' birthday which
will be on April 6, 1992.
Other recipients of the award in-
clude: Eric Severaid, Walter

State board reviews
•
grad psych proposal
by
KRISTA RAAB
Staff Writer
The faculty,
graduate and
undergraduate
students
of
psychology anxiously await ap-
proval from the New York State
Education Department for a pro-
gram designed to offer permanent
certification in school psychology.
The proposed program would
enable students to become provi-
sionally
certified
in school
psychology, for which the state re-
quires 60 credits of graduate
psychology, including a master's
degree and a school psychology
internship.
As a participant in this program,
the student would be able to earn
a 45-credit master's degree in either
counseling community or educa-
tional psychology, a 15-credit in-
ternship and obtain certification
entirely at Marist.
According to Professor John
Scileppi, Director of the Graduate
Program in Psychology, there has
been a demand for this type of pro-
gram to be instituted for both
students and the school pyschology
field in the local area.
"Last September, in the Dut-
chess County area, there were
eleven or twelve school psychology
positions that had been unfilled,"
Scileppi said. "That is significant
because by September, you hope to
get all your positions filled."
Many Marist graduate students
were getting discouraged from
entering into school psychology
because they would be forced to
commute to the College
•
of New
Rochelle or SUNY Albany to com-
plete certification courses.
"The reason we came up with
this program is for the last five, six
or seven years we have had
graduates pleading with us to start
the program here," Scileppi said.
In New York State, a person
must have a doctorate and two
years'experience to become licens-
ed in psychology; however, school
psychology is an area in which a
license may be obtained at the
predoctoral level.
"A student with a background in
school psychology could certainly
work in schools, but a school
psychology student, through our
proposed program, would be able
to practice independently as a
school psychologist," Scileppi said.
If
the program is approved, the
psychology department plans to
recruit presently employed school
psychologists to lecture about the
many facets of the job.
"What we wanted to do is to
bring in current professional, prac-
ticing school psychologists who
would always keep us up on
·the
latest things that were happening,"
Scileppi said.
Although the program would be
a considerable addition to the
psychology department, it is not a
new, full set of courses.
The process of developing the
curriculum and having it approv-
ed by all the relevant
f
acuity and
administrative committees on cam-
pus took approximately two years,
ending with the approval of the
Board of Trustees on June 6.
For the next few months, the
department waits for a decision
from the state.
According to s·dleppi, if the state
approves the program by the con-
clusion of this semester, classes
may be able to start as early as
Spring 1992.

oil
mishap
by
JOSEPH PANETTIERI
Staff Writer
Due to an underground oil tank
leak of approximately 100 gallons,
Marist College can expect bi-
weekly inspections
from the
Department of Environmental
Conservation to ensure there are no
further complications associated
with the late August incident, ac-
cording to DEC official David
Traver.
The environmental impact from
the leak of the
15,000
gallon tank
previously located in the exterior
rear of Donnelly Hall, seems to be
minimal as "DEC officials have
certified that there was no con-
tamination of the water supply and

River," said Mark Sullivan, ex-
ecutive vice president of Marist
College.
Although Marist has not receiv-
ed all the billings, the cost for the
clean up is expected to be between
$50,000 and $100,000 with the
primary
expense
being
the
transportation and dumping of the
storage tank and oil tainted soil at
an authorized New York State
facility, Sullivan said.
Sullivan, said the storage tank is
presently being examined to deter-
mine the exact cause for the
discharge and that a 1,500 gallon
tank has been delivered to Marist
to replace its predecessor.
A 3,000 gallon storage tank
located next to Adrian Hall was
also inspected and. pressure tested
but officials tound no evidence it
contributed
to
the oil leak, Sullivan
said.
The faulty 30-year-old tank,
which supplied fuel to heat Donnel-
ly Hall water, was emptied, unear-
thed and removed on Sunday,
August 25 by Salt Point Enterprises
after it emitted oil which collected
in nearby storm drains, Sullivan
said.

Colleg_e mourns loss
of science professor
by
BETH CONRAD
Staff Writer
Dr. William T. Perrotte Jr.,
associate professor of biology at
Marist, died of pneumonia last
Thursday morning at his home in
Red Hook.
Dr. Perrotte worked at Marist
for 23 years and taught a variety of
subjects ranging from invertebrate
zoology and microbiology to non-
science core courses.
"Marist won't be the same
without him. He was thoroughly
dedicated to the students and the
college, whether it was his work in
the classroom or his work on the
Teacher Education Program. His
every activity spoke of his commit-
ment," said Laurence Sullivan,
assistant professor of religious
studies.
In a statement made by President
Dennis Murray, Dr. Perrotte was
remembered for his role as curator
of the Marist College Arboretum
and custodian of the Marist
greenhouse.
"He had a quick and gentle wit,
and showed us all in the last few
years that he had great courage,
too, as he carried on despite the
disease that finally took him from
us. While a lesser person might
have quit, Bill was in his lab the day
before he died," the president said.
Dr. Perrotte
received his
bachelor of science degree at St.
Michael's College in Winooski,
Vt., his master's degree at the
University of New Mexico and his
doctorate in zoology at the Univer-
sity of Vermont.
He was a member of the
American Microscopical Society,
New York State Chapter of
American Fisheries Society, Society
of
Protozoologists,
North
American Bentbological Society
and America1c Society of Lim-
nology and
_Oceanography.
· •
;
He had° interests· in lake; river
and estuarine studies.
For
iwo sum-
mers he was project director for a
National Science Foundation pro-
gram for secondary school science
teachers to study the ecology of the
Hudson River.
"Among his closest colleagues in
the science division, Bill was known
for his 'love of mud.' He was never
happier than when collecting
samples of microscopic life from a
stream or lake bed.'' said Murray.
On April 1, 1956 he married
Cicely Qualtrough, who has work-
.
ed as Program Coordinator of the
Marist Abroad Program for many
years. They raised five children;
Catherine, Jane, Fiona, Alison and
William.
Dr. Perrotte is remembered by
his colleagues for his total dedica-
tion to Marist and its students.
"Students have lost a powerful
advocate. At committee meetings,
Bill Perrotte always asked what
will
the students think, he was always
concerned with the students and he
and Cecily went to every student
sponsored event they could," said
Andrew Molloy, chair of the divi-
sion of science.
President Murray agreed, saying
the Perrottes probably attended
more student functions than any
other couple at the college.
Lawrence Menapace, associate
professor of chemistry and long
time colleague of Dr. Perrotte, said
Bill and Cecily wanted to live their
lives to the fullest. If something
was important to Marist, it was im-
portant to them, he said.
"The impact he had on the in-
stitution will be a legacy be leaves
behind," said Menapace.

Student leaders unveil new CSL structure
by
MEGAN MCDONNELL
Senior Editor
Reconstruction and reformation
are on the horizon for Marist Col-
lege, particularly in_ the eyes of
CSL, the Council of Student
Leaders.
In the past years, only four
governing divisions of voting
members stood under the student
body president; however, this
academic year rings in a new
Cabinet of non-voting members.
The Cabinet is a separate entity
of Marist student leaders consisting
of the vice president of the Student
Body, Financial Chair, judicial
chief justice, CSL relations direc-
tor, and chairs of the Production
Council, Social Services Council,
Greek Council, Co-curriculum
Honorary Council and Sports
Council, as well as the elected presi-
dent of each class.
The four voting members of
CSL, called the Assembly of
Presidents, act as different divi-
sions while still working together
as
a team, of which Student Body
President Matt Thomson serves as
captain.
Tim Owens, a sophomore from l:;t.
James, N.Y.
As president of the College
Union Board, also known as CUB,
Owens is responsible for planning
campus activities such as lectures,
films and bands; however, he
would like to see more responsibili-
ty fall on the shoulders of students.
"The officers will be overseeing,
but committees should take charge
of events," said Owens. "This
way, students will be more involv-
ed and have more say."
Student voices may also be heard
by members of the Commuter
Union, which is designed to repre-
sent all commuters and students
•
who move off-campus, according
-to its president, Pat Reilly, a senior
from Massapequa, N. Y.
_
"We're their voice in the student
government," said Reilly.
CSL serves as the governing
body at Marist both by the students
and for the students, and this year's
Council also brings change with
respect to the manner in which it
will facilitate campus involvement.
"We want to unify the campus
through activities," said Thomson.
"One of our logos this year is
'Commitment to community.'"
"I'm a middleman between the
administration and the students,"
said Thomson, a senior from New
Hartford,
N. Y.
"One of our goals
this year is to improve communica-
tion."
According to Thomson, Marist
student government has tradi-
tionally been a reactive group,
whereas this year's Council is a
pro-active one.
The student government office in the campus center was one of the many remodeling pro-
jects done over the summer.
Thomson's proposal for a new
governmental structure is based on
a Constitutional
·
Convention,
which would allow more voting
members on the board.
"We're
moving ahead and
changing the structure so that it
functions better," said Thomson.
Part of this structural transfor-
mation will involve increased stu-
dent involvement, according to
"CSL has taken the first very
pro-active step toward many ex-
perimental programs we had last
year,"
said Bob Lynch, ad-
ministrative advisor to CSL.
According to Lynch, one exam-
ple of such a step would be in the
formalizing of Foxy's, the new
campus dance club.
Entertainment, however, is not

task of the Student Academic

Criminal justice program
severs ties with Dutchess
by
JENN JOHANNESSEN
Managing
Editor
Citing rising costs of maintain-
ing the relationship with Dutchess
Community College, Marist's
criminal justice program will now
stand on its own for the first time
during its 20-year existence, accor-
ding to Daniel Okada, assistant
professor and program coordinator
of the criminal justice program at
Marist.
Since the early 1970s, Marist has
maintained an articulation agree-
ment with Dutchess. Marist paid
Dutchess for the use of their pro-
fessors to instruct classes primari-
ly in the lower divisions and Dut-
chess students could transfer to
Marist and not lose credits.
This relationship existed with
Dutchess because Marist did not
know how popular the criminal
justice major was going to be and
Marist would not waste resources
if the program was not successful,
Okada said.
At the end of the spring
semester, Dutchess contacted chief
finance officer Anthony Campilii
and informed him that the fee
Marist had paid in the past had
been virtuaIJy doubled in excess of
Sl00,000
for two faculty members,
said Okada.
According to the academic vice-
president Marc vanderHeyden,
"No reasons were indicated as to
why the fee had gone up con-
siderably and we were faced with
a choice; to pay the fee or try to use
the money we normally pay to Dut-
chess for the use of their professors
and hire our own faculty."
The criminal justice program
now has three full-time faculty
members and is now in the process
of hiring a fourth, according to
vanderHeyden.
Okada said, "It is an excellent
opportunity for us to to truly
become the Marist College pro-
gram in criminal justice without the
influence of Dutchess."
"I'm very supportive of our
break from Dutchess because we
can now have our own healthy pro-
gram. I don't understand why
we've maintained the program
(with Dutchess) for so long. Our
students took courses they could
have taken at Dutchess for SUNY
prices," said Okada.
Currently there are 180 criminal
justice majors,
according
to
Okada.
Barbara Lavin, associate pro-
fessor of criminal justice, had some
training in the criminal justice field
and initiated the criminal justice
pro2ram.

Who's to blame
Frats or the system?
With the whirlwind of controversy surrounding off-
campus parties, supposed fraternity misconduct and
incidences of dangerous alcohol poisonings, the col-
lege finds itself grappling with a serious question: To
what degree can off-campus drinking be controlled?
It's a question to which the most convenient answer
might involve disciplinary sanctions. But is this answer
the right one? Is it the only one?
The college has to look out for the interests of the
institution and its students first and foremost. And with
issues of legal and moral liability at stake, making sure
students aren't being rushed to the hospital every
weekend to have their stomach pumped is surely at the
top of the agenda.
But in reality, suspending students from school won't
stop off-campus parties. Revoking a fraternity charter
won't stop ex-members from still getting together off
campus in the same manners they did before.
There's no doubt the students, who have either been
suspended or are being investigated, acted questionably
and/ or even grossly irresponsible. Should they be sanc-
tioned? Probably. But for Marist, that can't be the end
of the story.
The problems, meaning a lack of alcohol education
and a prevailing attitude by a few students that
Wednesday-Saturday nights ·are for drinking, are what
really need to be addressed.
The college must do more than just treat the symp-
toms which, after all, are only outgrowths of the deeper
problems just mentioned.
Because of the social outlet they provide, fraternities
will always have a base of student support at this col-
lege. This is not to imply the only function the frater-
nity system serves is a social one. The annual Sigma
Phi Epsilon blood drive and other community-service
programs sponsored by fraternities are proof of their
value.
One step in the right direction towards solving the
problems associated with off-campus drinking is the
new FoxFest. Only by offering quality, enjoyable pro-
gramming as an alternative to the off-campus party can
Marist hope to reduce incidences like the ones that have
occurred over the past few weeks.
FoxFest is a success - so far. Hopefully, the students
will continue to support it. There is a danger of overkill
by having it every week. Traditionally, Americans grow
bored with something rather quickly. What was a
novelty yesterday, is passe today.
Nobody will ever stop off-campus parties, they are
too ingrained in the college lifestyle. But the less fre-
quently students venture off campus to drink, and the
more educated they are about alcohol and alcohol
abuse, the safer we'll all be.

"It's like one big family," said Bob

Making the transition from home-life to
campus-life is a new experience for these
students. After leaving the familiarity of
home, these students are quickly getting ac-
climated to the life of a Marist student.
As of yet, there is no handbook advising
students on how to spend his or her time, nor
is there a freshman survival kit to carry at
all times just in case of emergencies.
Sometimes being independent is overrated.
Take laundry for example.
Yet, one can't meet everyone solely by

Lanning resigns post
Marist mourns Edward Waters
by
HOLLY WOEHR
Staff Writer
Dr. Jeptha Lanning resigned as
Chair of the Division of Arts &
Letters on July 1 after holding the
position for four years.
Dr. Linda Cool, Assistant Vice
President of Academic Affairs, is
now the acting Chair of Arts & Let-
ters for a one-year term, after
which the administration will ap-
point a new Chair.
As Lanning moves on to' other
areas of service at Marist, he hopes
to secure a position in College Ad-
vancement or Admissions.
"I
look forward
to new
challenges," he said.
Lanning is content with his
resignation as he approaches a
milestone in his life - his 60th
birthday.
However, his schedule remains
full as he will be visiting perspec-
tive Marist students, as well as
working on the Lowell Thomas
Centenary and the rededication of
Donnelly Hall, to be held later this
year.
He is also teaching Rise and
Development of English Drama
this semester and Modern British
Drama in the spring.
Lanning, a 1953 graduate of
Marist, served as a Marist brother
from 1949-1972, director of the
Marist Abroad Program from
1980- 1987 and the Chair of the
Department of English and Com-
munications from 1971-1977.
As
co-director of the Marist Col-
lege Theater Guild, now called
MCCT A, he directed ten plays on
the Marist stage.
Lanning obtained a master's
degree in Renaissance Drama from
St. John's University and a doc-
torate from Catholic University in
Washington, D.C.
Lanning said: "I enjoyed seeing
the growth of the programs in the
area I had as my responsibility. The
growth of the college has been
heartening to me."

Edward P. Waters, who gave
more than 20 years of service to
Marist
College,
was fondly
remembered by President Murray
on Friday after he passed away.
"The loss of Edward P. Waters
will be deeply felt by all who work-

more than 20 years of service at
Marist," said Murray in his reac-
tion to the death of Waters on
Friday.
Waters joined the Marist facul-
ty in 1967 as an assistant professor
in English. He was named Dean of
Special Programs in 1971 and was
later promoted to Vice President to
the Administration. He held that
position for the next fifteen years
until his retirement in 1989.
Waters is remembered as a man
of great integrity. Among his
numerous accomplishments was his
persistence in pursuing what both
the college and the community
needed. Having a special concern

Softball team hits field for first time
Sports
by
J.W. STEWART
Staff Writer
The women's softball team took
the field for the first time in Marist
history last Saturday when it hosted
St. Peter's College for an afternoon
doubleheader.
Despite dropping both ends of
the twin bill, 9-4 and 3-2, Head
Coach Tom Chiavelli is anxious for
the official season to get underway
in the spring and knows that
building a Division I program is not
going to be an easy task.
"Recruiting,"
according to
Chiavelli, will be an important part
•
of the Lady Red Foxes' success.
"I'll be out recruiting girls all
year," the coach said. "I have
soine leads already and I'd like to
bring in seven or eight more girls."
Of the 13 players on the roster;
·dttiavelli
actually recruited· only
five. He expects the arrival of some
more talent come January and
plans to have eighteen piayers on
·his
squad when regular season play
.begins
in March.
Only 18 girls participated in try
outs for the team and the coach
knows why.
"I think I may ·have scared some
of them off at our first meeting,"
Chiavelli said. "I told them 'You
can have fun, but it's a serious
situation. It's not just grab your
glove, go out, and play catch. A lot
of time is involved. If you're not
dedicated, don't even bother com-
ing."'
One aspect of the game that
Chiavelli wants his team to avoid
is mental mistakes.
•~1 want my team to be alert at
all times," he said. "I can live with
physical mistakes, but I can't live
with mental mistakes. Mental
mistakes will kill you."
Much to Chiavelli's ire, mental
mistakes are what did his team in
over the weekend.
Mar1st's Tricia Southworth set to deliver a pitch in the Lady
Red Foxes doubleheader against St. Peter's last Saturday.
Marist lost both games.
In the opener, wild throws to
first base and to the plate allowed
St. Peter's to score two unearned
runs en route to opening a 3-0 lead.
In the bottom of the third,
Marge
Sylvia dropped an RBI
single into right field that scored
Tricia Ackerman from third for the
first Marist run of the game.
After falling behind 4-1 in the
top of the fourth, the Lady Red
Foxes pulled within one in the
home half of the fourth when
Laura Vaynalek doubled home
Stacy Haupt.
An inning later, catcher Kathy
Hull and first baseman Terri Bam-
bakidou both walked before being
driven home by pinch-hitter Kate
O'Hanlon, tying the score 4-4.
St. Peter's scored five more
times over the last two innings
thanks in part to three overthrows
that lead to three Peacock unearn-
ed runs.
Pitcher Kristen Wallace, a top
prospect from Upper Marlboro,
Md., took the mound loss.
Wallace, who went the distance,
allowed only four earned runs
while striking out seven.
"l liked the way we came from
behind," Chiavelli said after the
first game. "We lost that game
because we had too many mental
mistakes. The girls weren't really
sure of where to throw the ball at
times; I saw a few hesitations."
Marist fared better in the second
game.
Transfer
student
Tricia
Southworth went the distance for
Marist, giving up six hits and strik-
ing out five. Southworth, who
came to Marist from Assumption
College in Massachusetts, also
tallied two of Marist's four hits at
the plate. Bambakidou drove in
one of the runs with an RBI dou-
ble in the first inning.
Chiavelli was happier with the
team's performance in the second
game.
"It
was a good game," he said.
"We made some plunders running
the bases that cost us. But, we did
play better because we did not
make as many mental mistakes."
Chiavelli, who would like to
finish the season with a .500 or bet-
ter record, said he will not set many
team goals.
"I won't set too many goals
because it puts too much pressure
on the girls," he said.
"If
I keep
emphasizing goals, we won't win
ball games."

Qr fir st
win
The men's soccer team started
the season in high
.
gear, winning
two of its first three games.
By capturing the season opener
against defending Northeast Con-
ference champion Monmouth Col-
lege, the Red Foxes ended an eight
game losing streak dating back to
Oct. 8 of last season.
.
Last Saturday, Marist dropped
a tough 1-0 decision to conference
rival Robert Morris College. The
Colonials scored their lone goal on
a penalty kick in the first half.
Marist outshot Robert Morris
16-8.
Despite the loss, Head Coach
Dr. Howard Goldman was· pleas-
ed with his team's perfox:mance.
"We dominated throughout the
entire game," he said. "A few
more breaks and the outcome
would have been different. We
gave a good effort."
In theteam's second game of the
year, Marist scored a 5~2 victory
over Siena College.
Sophomore Gian Mazzella kick-
ed the game winning goal for the
Red Foxes. Freshman goalkeeper
Matt Palmer had 10 saves and pick-
ed up the victory in net for Marist.
In the opener against Mon-
mouth, Marist notched a hard-
earned 3-2 victory.
Forward Shawn Scott led the of-
fensive attack. The junior from
Wappingers Falls tallied two goals
and assisted on another. Scott's ef-
fort was the first multiple goal
game by a Marist player in 16
games.
Scott, who did not play last year,
scored four goals in his freshman
_camoaiRn.
Freshman goalkeeper Matt Palmer successfully stops a penalty shot in the Red Foxes'
season opener against Monmouth. Marist won 3-2.
Junior Andrew Clinton notched
the game winning goal against
Monmouth and Palmer grabbed 10
saves in the net.
For his efforts, Scott was nam-
ed Northeast Conference Player of
the Week. Palmer was also award-
ed the conference's Newcomer of
the Week honors. No Marist player
earned either award last season.
After finishing last season with
an overall mark of 4-15 and a 1-6 •
record
·in
conference
play,
Goldman attributed much of the
early season success to experience
and improved team play.
"We were a young team last year
and the inexperience was a pro-
blem," he said. "Our defense and
goalkeeping have improved and we
are stronger up front. We have
shown that we can hold on to the
ball and keep things moving on the
offensive end."
Goldman likes what he sees this
year and also believes that the team
has a bright future:
"We have a good nucleus and we
are starting to play well," he said.
Marist now has an overall record
of 2-1 while posting a 1-1 mark in
NEC play.
The Red Foxes traveled to St.
Francis
(NY)
yesterday for a con-
ference tilt with the Terriers.
Results were not available at press
time.
Next on the schedule for the Red
Foxes is Mt. St. Mary's. Marist
travels to Emmitsburg, Md. for the
game which is scheduled for
Saturday.
Football program headed
.for Division I
by
MIKE O'FARRELL
Sports Editor
The football team will be com-
peting at the Division I level begin-
ning in 1993, the Department of
Athletics announced earlier this
month.
The departure of Marist from its
current league, the Atlantic Col-
legiate Football Conference, to the
Liberty Conference, effective next
season, was also announced.
Competition in the Liberty Con-
ference will still be at the Division
III level. The conference, which
will include Marist, Wagner, St.
John's, Iona, Pace and Post, is a
part of the regional Eastern Col-
legiate
Athletic
Conference
(ECAC).
"The level of play will improve
and that makes the schedule
tougher," Doris said.
Being a part of
.the
Liberty
within the ECAC will be beneficial
to Marist, said Doris.
"It
is an acceptable situation for
us," he said. "We will be playing
new people and receiving more
publicity out of the ECAC because
it reaches into markets such as
Boston, Pittsburgh
and New
York."
At present, it remains unclear as
to what type of Division I status
Marist football will hold. That, ac-
cording to Director of Athletics
Gene Doris, will be decided by the
National
Collegiate
Athletic
Association
(NCAA)
in January.
The football
program will
achieve either Division I-AA or I-
AAA status.
The legislation to move to·I-AA
or I-AAA status was started by
Division III institutions concerned
about competing against Division
I institutions that play football at
the Division III level, said Doris.
"This was not handed down by
the NCAA itself," said Doris.
"It
is strictly a membership issue."
Although the legislation will
benefit Marist, there are some in-
stitutions that will suffer, Doris
said.
"It is a great thing," he said.
"But, it is unfortunate because it
will hurt others that didn't have to
be hurt."
Schools in this geographical
region will not be negatively ef-
fected. However, schools in lesser
populated regions, such as the
west, may have problems develop-
ing a schedule against equal
competition.
Although it does not exist now,
I-AAA would be the smarter op-
tion for the NCAA to vote in, said
Doris.
"By doing that, it would allow
programs struggling at the I-AA
level to drop down a notch," he
said. "Also, it would give easier ac-
cess to those institutions wishing to
start a football program.
"It allows the system to shift and
become flexible and more balanc-
ed," he said.
"Fear of the unknown," said
Doris is one reason why the NCAA
might not accept I-AAA status.

When the football team takes the
field against Pace University Satur-
day, the defending Atlantic Col-
legiate Football Conference cham-
pion will be searching for its first
win.
Last Saturday, the Red Foxes
were upset by Siena College 13-12
in the home opener at Leonidoff
Field. Marist lost its regular season
opener on Sept. 7 to Iona College;
20-16.
Against Siena, the Red Foxes
fumbledthe ball nine times - los-
ing four -
and threw
•
one
interception.
"We just didn't play well," said
Head Coach Rick Pardy. "We
can't expect to win ifwe don't play
up to our level."
Offensively, the Red Foxes were
the first to put points on the board.
Sophomore tailback Donald
D'Auito scampered in from seven
yards out with 6: 11 left in the first
quarter capping a five play, 52-yard
scoring drive. The extra point at-
tempt failed giving Marist a 6-0
advantage.
In the second quarter, Marist
and D' Auito struck again. This
time, the tailback scored from one
yard out to give his team a 12-0
lead with 10:21 left in the first half.
Late in the second half, two
Marist penalties gave the Saints
automatic first downs and that is
the only break they needed.
On first-and-goal from the
Marist 2-yard line, Siena quarter-
back Bob Facto rolled right and
connected with
Tim
Carolan on a
two-yard touchdown strike with no
time left on the clock. The extra-
point was successful. At the end of
the first half, Marist was on top
12-7.
On its first possession of the se-
cond half, Siena picked up where
it left off.
The Saints again found success
in the air. This time, Facto con-
nected

end Bill
Scheitinger from 35 yards out to
put his team on top for good,
13-12.
Although Marist controlled
Siena's ground attack -
only
allowing 42 yards rushing - it had
trouble stopping the Saints passing
attack. Facto completed 14 passes
for 201 yards.
"Our defense has been solid,"
said Pardy. "But we need to do a
