Party penalties
stir up debate
by
JENNIFER CHANDLER
Senior Editor
Student Body President Matt Thomson and Associate Dean Peter
Amato addressed a crowd of 150 students at a rally held last Wednesday
to dispel rumors concerning off-campus disciplinary sanctions and to pro-
pose the formulation of a new judiciary panel.
The possibility of the fraternity Tau Kappa Epsilon having its charter
revoked because of an off-campus party, and the roles student govern-
ment and the administration had in the fraternity's investigation led to
the demonstration last Wednesday afternoon in the Champagnat
courtyard.
Thomson said he met with Amato before the rally to persuade him
to hold off on sanctioning the fraternity and to introduce his idea of
a new panel which would allow student government to take a role, if
not the lead role, in handling TKE's charter.
Many students criticized Thomson's plan because they felt there were
already positions in student government capable of handling TKE's case,
said Thomson.
Yet, Thomson disagreed with his critics.
"Because various members of TKE are in student government, there
would be a conflict of interest," said Thomson. "I just want this to be
fair -
that's my main goal."
Greek Council President Todd Anderson, however, said he doesn't
think the new panel will have any more control than student government
has had in the past.
"I
really doubt the panel will be the one to decide anything in TKE's
or any other case because administration will be the one to pull the switch
anyway,"
said Anderson.
The
Greek. council should be the one to hand out sanctions because
it.is composed•of individuals who ~now what (?reek life is like; said
Anderson.


• •
Thomson said because this was a unique and complicated situation,
he wanted to construct a new panel, composed of students, faculty and
administration who would hear TKE's case objectively.
The TKE charter is being re-evaluated because of off-campus activities
some of its members engaged in that conflicted with the college's policies,
said Amato.
The student handbook stipulates: "Students are also reminded that
responsibility for misconduct off campus is not in the college's jurisdic-
tion and, therefore, the students bear total responsibility for their ac-
tions while off campus. However, while the college may not have legal
jurisdiction over off campus misconduct, the college may take disciplinary
action of its own for any student violations of the college's norms or
code of conduct. Hence, students' conduct off the campus is subject to
disciplinary action. Students are to observe the same standards of con-
duct that they observe on campus."
Despite Amato's declaration at the rally that he cares about what
students think, there are those who believe the college is wrong and not
acting in the best interests of the students.
"What type of suggestions can we make if they are going to be block-
ed at the top by administrators and a handbook that contradicts itself
in the same paragraph," said Rob Yankowski, a student from Fort Myers,
Fla., at the rally.
Amato responded to another student who questioned the college's
interest in students versus preserving the college's image.
"If
students do something endangering other students or the college's
name, then the college has a right to act on that in order to protect the
integrity of the institution," said Amato.
Amato said he believes Marist's judgment on discipline is based on
common sense.
"I
don't call on any higher level of principles - common sense isn't
emotion, but it can be clouded by the emotional state and circumstance
a person is in when he receives information," said Amato.
Matt Taylor, a junior from Bethlehem, Conn., disagreed with Amato's
rationale.
"Common sense is based on personal opinions and biases," said
Taylor. "Wouldn't you say that taking education away from five students
should be based on facts instead of common sense?"
According to Chris Jones, a TKE member, the demonstration was not
Greek formulated.
New dorm in
sight;
trustees vote on Nov. 2
by
BETH CONRAD
Senior
Editor
College administrators and the Board of
Trustees will vote Nov. 2 on a proposed new
donr. to help accomodate increases in stu-
dent , enrollment.
The dorm, which was first proposed in
1988, was
put on hold in order to build the
Dyson Center, the new classroom building
built behind the Lowell Thomas Com-
munications Center.
With
the freshman
class
reaching
an
all
time high of 904 students and the loss of the
North Road houses impending with the
widening of Route 9, it is time
to
redirect the
college's attention and build more housing,
said Mark Sullivan, executive vice president.
Gerard Cox, vice president for student af-
fairs, said if the board approves the dorm
in November, it is possible that it will be
finished by the fall of 1993.
The widening of Route 9 next year will
result in the loss of the North Road houses
-
which house 65 students.
This is the last full year Marist will have
the houses, unless the Route 9 project falls
behind, he said.
Although the plans for the dorm were ap-
proved in
1988,
they need to be re-evaluated
and re-approved, said Cox.
"What had been acceptable three years
ago, may not be acceptable today," he said.
The proposed new dorm will house 400 to
500
students and will be located west of the
Campus Center where the tennis courts are
located, said Cox.
Although the courts will be moved west
of the McCann Center, there will not be a
loss in parking spaces because the McCann
lot, near Sheahan Hall, bas room to build
an extra parking row.
According to plans approved in 1988, the
dorm will stand 2 to 3 stories tall and will
be a series of suites connected by common
lounges.
The dorm will have a dining hall which
will
be adjoined to the Campus Center and will
come off the kitchen into the Champagnat
lot, so both dining halls can be served by one
kitchen, said Cox.
"There is hope that the new dorm
will
pro-
vide intimacy and privacy from suite living,
without requiring students to do shopping

Ceremony marks
Dyson's, opening
Financial aid

by
VINCENT
J.
ZORLO
Staff Writer •
One day, Anne E. Dyson was sit-
ting around wondering what to get
her father for his birthday. Unable
to decide, she turned to her brother
for help. Together, they came up
with an idea. That was a few years
ago.
Today, many in the Marist com-
munity attend class, hold office
hours or just grab a bite to eat in
Charles H. Dyson's eightieth bir-
thday present -
a three story,
state-of-the-art academic facility.
The dedication ceremonies for
the Margaret M. and Charles
H.
Dyson Center were held on Friday,
Sept. 20, before a crowd of 200
people ..
The event included remarks by
representatives of the college and
the
..
Dyson family -
including
Charles H. Dyson -
ribbon cut-
ting, a reception, thr~piece band,
and a tour of the center.
President Dennis
J.
Murray
welcomed the crowd shortly after
four
.
p.m. Standing behind a
podium, under the Dyson entrance,
Murray introduced and thanked
the Dyson family, friends, faculty,
and everyone who contributed to
the completion of the $8 million
building.
Charles H. Dyson, who receiv-
ed a standing ovation from the
crowd, had been presented earlier
with a framed photograph of the
student body holding a thank you
sign in front of the building that
was named after he, and his wife,
who passed away last year.
The Dyson Center was built to
suit the college's growing needs. It
was also built on time and on

budget. a fact that several speakers
commended.
"Usually on time and on budget
is coupled with lies and disbelief,"
said Robert Dyson, son of Charles
and Margaret and executive vice
president and chief operating of-
ficer of the Dyson-Kissner-Moran
Corporation.
Dyson said the Center could be
a sad memorial to the past, but he
would rather think of it as a living
and breathing facility for the

future.
A Marist Trustee since 1976,
Dyson said the dedication of the
center was a special moment for
him on two levels, as a trustee and
as a proud son.
As a trustee, he said, "It was
good to see a structure added to
campus that represents the health
and vitality of the institution of
Marist College."
On a personal level he said "the
center represents the love and
respect I have for my family. It's
a living memorial to what they've
done not only for me, but for socie-
ty."
Standing on the spot he called
once a lonely stretch of acreage,
Student Body President Matthew
Thomson extended his gratitude on
behalf of the student body for the
"thoughtful" present that is the
Dyson Center. He called it a
welcome area for students to
gather, to read or to enjoy the com-
pany of friends.
President Murray, in his address,
said that the essence of education
is the relationship between the
faculty and the students. Within its

To accommodate the continual
rise of requests for financial aid,
the financial aid office has install-
ed a new system that would make
it easier to review all the applica-
tions according to Kevin Molloy,
head of financial aid.
Molloy said that he hardly has to
leave his desk now because so much
of the work can now be done
in
the
computer.
"We went from a single file
system that was manually updated
to an intergraded system whereby
technology did most of our money
crunching for us," he said.
The rise of requests for help us-
ing the financial aid form usually
increases at a rate of about 200 a
year , said Molloy, but with this
year's increase of about 100
freshmen and because of the reces-
sion, those requests jumped a lit-
tle higher than usual.
"We traditionally have about
seventy percent of the freshmen
class on financial aid," said
Molloy. "This year we have 60
students more than the prior class
getting help."
The new lA system, referring to
Information Associates, a software
vendor, basically provides a faster
way of processing the applications
than the older system, said Molloy.
"The old system was just a big
file where we had to do all our ap-
plications by hand," he said. "Our
productivity
has
increased
dramatically with the new system."

As of Oct. 1, any remaining jobs
on campus will be available to both
campus-employment students as
well as work/study recipients.
This year, as in past years, super-
visors have been encouraged to hire
work/study students during the
first three weeks of the school year.
Based on the federal reimburse-
ment of dollars earned, the college
must pay the entire wage for
campus-employment students,
·as
opposed to only a partial payment
for work/study.
According to Kevin Molloy,
director of financial aid, the col-
lege, from a budgetary sense, needs
to
emphasize work/study.
"The federal government now
pays 70 percent or 70 cents onthe
dollar for every dollar earned and
the college pays 30 percent for
work/study.
For
campus-
employment, Marist pays
JOO
per-
cent on the dollar, so you can see
why the college would want to hire
work/study students first," Molloy
said.
Although work/study students
have an advantage within the first
three weeks to be hired, there is not
a mandate on campus to strictly
hire those students.
"Since there are technical or cer-
tification requirements, being a
lifeguard or computer technician,
for example, there may not be a
work/ study student who can fill
that position, therefore, campus-
employment would be the only
alternative," Molloy said.
Many offices who need im-
mediate
help
hire campus-
employment students who are on
an approval basis with the finan-
cial aid office.
The office keeps a listing of
available jobs and monitors re-
quests from supervisors on a week-
ly basis.
"There are many students who
are looking for work and we try to
employ as many students as we can
during the academic school year,"
Molloy said.
As the Oct. 1 deadline ap-
proaches there are still approx-
imately 12 work/study students
who are still unemployed.
"It's a continuing process that
just doesn't start and end in the
first three weeks of school. It might
take us a little longer to employ all
of the students," Molloy said.
Any work/study student who
has not attempted to locate a job
in the first three weeks of the year
may not get a job because they will
also be competing with campus-
employment students in addition to
work/study students.
"If
the work/study student has
not tried to find employment in the
first three weeks they may be out
of luck. They've shown a need and
we've given them every opportunity
and advantage to be employed. If
they don't use that opportunity it
may be lost to them," i\folloy said.
For any student who has not
found employment, they may not
work on campus this semester.
"My feelin·g is there probably
won't be too many jobs available,
but we'll monitor all authorizations
and requests for employment,"
Molloy said.
Security officers have issued 350
parking tickets since Sept. 16, ac-
cording to J.F. Leary, director of
safety and security.
Security officers dipped into the
shipment of 7,500 blank parking
tickets after the two-week proba-
tionary period ended, according to
Leary, who said he normally would
issue 350 tickets a month.
"We are enforcing parking in
restricted zones very stringently,
meaning we are cracking down on
people parking in the wrong lots,"
said Leary.
Security officers have immobiliz-
ed 22 vehicles with what the Marist
community has come to know as
the boot, or vehicle immobilizer, as
Leary refers to the yellow metal
device that is placed over a cars'
tire if it's illegally parked.

increase in growth of students going into the
sciences and will probably continue through
the 1990s.
The enrollment of science majors has
in-
creased greatly since last year as a result of
the large freshman class.
"The enrollment of majors in the science
division showed the largest increase
percentage-wise over the last year," Molloy
said.
"When you have an idea and you want to
sell it, using the computer is probably the
best way to impress people," said Desilets,
a 1950 Marist graduate.
"If
people need.jobs, there is a need for
researchers in the fields of environmental
science and medical

technology," said
Greiner, also referring to a low number of
nurses and physical therapists in the job
market.
A greater student interest in environmen-
tal and health issues and technological ad-
vances stemming from computer use are the
major reasons for the increase, according to
Dr. Andrew Molloy, chairman of the divi-
sion of science at Marist.
There are approximately 70 majors in en-
vironmental science, 60 in biology 30 in
medi.cal technology and
15
in chemistry, ac-
cordmg to Molloy.
Molloy said he expects to have an
estimated 300 students in the science division,
which would represent a 100 percent increase
since 1989-90.
Marist is only one of a handful of colleges
which use computer technology to help
create and maintain a student's interest in
math and science, according to Dr. Brian
Desliets, a a visiting professor of physics.
Some students in the science division said
they enjoy and take advantage of the low
faculty to student ratio in order to com-
municate more with their professors.
"There are a lot of options you can play
with so you can find out what you like," said
Mike

Greiner said seniors at Marist have been
offered job packages in the medical

All resident freshmen and

this year, a change from last year,

The service includes: free local
calls, long-distance rates that
undercut the prices of the major
long-distance companies, a built-in,
voice-mail service and a system that

Learning how to operate a phone

was the biggest challene.e to
most students.
Each student, even roommates,
have a four-digit, long- distance
authorization codes which allows a
student to make calls using the
code. That code also allows
students to check messages and,
with a little practice, students can
easily change the code to prevent
theft.
Students have the choice of hav-
ing the phone bill sent to them at
Marist or sent to their parents.
When the bill reaches $50, Marist
turns off the service until students
pay their bill.
"l think the new system is great.
It helps not to have to use a pay
phone and it comes with the
room," said Jeremie Harris, a
freshman, psychology major from
Jersey City, N.J.
Most students also like the affor-
dable, long distance service they
can get using the Marist system. In

said Chris Stout,

jor from South Windsor, Conn.
Messages can also be forwarded to
someone's phone using one of the
many voice-mail options.
At the beginning of the school
year, all students who paid for a

It's a bird, it's a plane ...
Large frosh class causes
overcrowding in dorms
by
APRIL M. AMONICA
Staff Writer
Two's company and three's a
crowd -
but not in the rooms of
most Marist College freshmen.
Although this year's freshman
class totaled 100 students more
than Marist had anticipated, a ma-
jority of freshmen declined hous-
ing offers to relocate to more
spacious room accomodations.
"We were asked to move but we
really didn't want to," said Nduka
Udeh, a Champagnat Hall resident
from Montclair, N.J.
"We all get along well and there
have been no problems," he said.
Most students don't want to
move out of their present living ar-
rangements because they are used
to each other's company and have
adjusted well to college life, said
Marist's Director of Housing,
James Raimo.
"Not one person has spoken to
me about moving out," Raimo
said.
Udeh and his two roommates,
Sean Murphy from Hamden,
Conn. and Tom Sturges from
Watertown,
Conn.,
waived
Marists's $230 reimbursement of-
fer to students living in temporary
buildup facilities after the tuition
refund date.
"I
think it's terrific that students
decided it's not such a bad situa-
tion after
all,"
said Ellen
Brickwedde, Champagnat House
One Mentor.
"We don't like being overcrowd-
ed," she said, "but we're all friends
and really don't know many peo-
ple in Champagnat."
Freshman Jason Johannessen
also declined Marist's option to
detripilize because he gets along
well with his new Champagnat
roommates.
Marist freshman Jason Rudock
of Montville,
N.Y.,
said it wasn't
a "big deal" to share his Marian
Hall room with three other
students.
"It
would have been nice to have
a triple but we get along fine,"
Rudock said of his quad-living
arrangement.
"I
even forget that there
is
a
buildup because there haven't been
any conflicts," said the resident
director of Marian Hall, Susan
Sullivan.
The
number
of
double-
occupancy buildups left on campus
has been reduced from twenty-five
to nineteen according to Raimo:
one in Marian, five in Sheahan,
eleven in Leo and two in
Champagnat.
Some freshmen,
however,
preferred to move from quads to
triples or from triples to doubles.
"It
wasn't that bad but it's much
better now," said Teri Smeader of
West Monroe, N.Y.
Some freshmen admitted that

Photo exhibit
celebrates

NOELLE BELOIN
Staff Writer
To celebrate the 100th an-
niversary of broadcaster Lowell
Thomas' birth, Marist has set
up a second permanent exhibit
on the second floor of the
Lowell Thomas Communica-
tions Center.
The exhibit, entitled "J 00 Im-
ages," displays photographs
that hung in Thomas' office at
Capital Cities Communications
in New York City.
The exhibit focuses on many
areas of Thomas' life including
his early years, World War l
and World War II, broad-
casting, aviation, his love for
skiing and his association with
presidents and the heads of
state.
According to Shaileen Kopec,
vice president for college ad-
vancement and director of
development, Marist is planning
a celebration of Thomas' life
for next April and the exhibits
are only the beginning of the
events that the college is work-
ing on.
«The
exhibit displays
photos
that hung in
Thomas' office at Capital
Cities in New York City."
Thomas was born April 6,
1892; in Woodington, Ohio but
grew up in Criple Creek, Colo.,
the mining district of Victor. He
went to work in the gold mines
at an early age and then went on
to become
mining
camp
reporter and editor.
Thomas earned four degrees
from the University of Northern
Indiana at Valparaiso,
the
University of Denver, the Law
school
of
Chicago
and
Princeton.
In World War I, he covered
all the Allied Armies from the
North Sea
co
the Persian Gulf
and brought back to America
an account of the German
Revolution after the war ended.
Thomas was a member of
The Explorers, a club that re-
quired documented proof of
world travel as a condition for
membership, and was interna-
tionally famous for his expedi-
tions to the Sub-Arctic and
Southern Asia.
Thomas was a news broad-
caster since the beginning of
radio. In 1951, Thomas was a
key figure in the creation of
Cinerama, a large curved screen
that uses three projectors and

Hooray
for Hollywood
If one were to read the course description in the catalogue,
it might go something like this: Three-credit class offered in
California. Students will be given chance to view behind-the-
scenes television productions and learn from professionals the
techniques and theories behind the industry of communica-
tions. Class will run for one week.
An institution of higher education, such as Marist or any
other college, floats very precariously on a pool of academic
credibility. This credibility is often intangible and subject to
sharp and sudden change. It cannot be measured with numbers
and statistics as much as it can be measured by attitudes and
perceptions towards elements of academia like the faculty,
nature of classes and the students in these classes.
Think about colleges for a second. Are classes at Yale any
different than at Marist'? Perhaps. But is philosophy.~r algebra'.,,
,:
taught or learned any differently'? How about literature'?
Calculus'? Or biology? No, of course not. Could a Marist stu-
dent succeed at Yale and vice versa? Sure.
But one more question: Can one enroll in
a
three-credit class
that takes place over the course of one week and consists of,
among other things, going to Disneyworld and visiting the
Arsenio Hall show at many other institutions of higher
education?
The answer to this is somewhat irrelevant; yes, there are
hundreds of "blow-off" classes at many other schools all over
the country. That doesn't mean there should be one at Marist
too. Serious procedural questions
-concerning
the offering of
special-topics classes like the Hollywood trip have to be raised.
Undoubtably, classes offered in locations
other
than a
Marist classroom can have immeasurable value. But who pro-
posed this Hollywood trip'? Who approved it'? what were they
thinking?
While Marist offers itself up as a champion of liberal arts
education, academic malignancies like the Hollywood class
only serve to severely undercut the reputation of this college.
This is a fact that hurts every single faculty member, staff and
especially student - past and present - not just the 10 who
ventured off to Calif omia.
As a matter of fact, the 10 students who went on the trip
may have gotten the best deal of all. Nearly all students inter-
viewed said they received either an A or A-. Not bad for a
week's work. However, each of the students deserves an A
or A-, if not for the quality of the work done, then for put-
ting up with all of chaos.
Incidentally, none of the students ever received their jour-
nals back even though these journals had lists of the students'
professional contacts.
Yet
in the long run, it's not the loss of money; the schedules
constantly being postponed nor the dealing with frustration
after frustration that is the true disappointment -
it's the
principle.
As one senior who went summed it up,
"If
I was taking
the class because it was required or I needed it, I might not
actually be that upset. But the only reason I took this class
was to get something out of it and I didn't. I just wasted my

Back in the Gulf,
Hussein is still in power
President Bush's decision last week to send
more U.S. warplanes and Patriot missiles
back to Saudi Arabia has caused a great
many people to re-evaluate the results of the
Persian Gulf War. It is very understandable
for a person to ask "Why did we really go
to war" and "what did we actually win?"
The President has decided to send troops
back to Saudi Arabia in order to "convince"
S~~dam Hussein that he should

allow his

the truth. Saddam may not have been the son
Adolf always wanted, but he's pretty damn
close.
While the war
was
being fought, this anti-
Hussein propaganda was a very good thing
for the President. Once the war ended, the
way that it ended, these statements began to
hurt the President.
Saddam Hussein was allowed to stay in
power because he would bring some "stabili-
ty" to Iraq and prevent the possible division
of the country, not unlike what has happen-
ed in Lebanon. George's decision to leave
Saddam in power may have been the
pragmatic thing to do, but it certainly wasn't
the moral (or popular) thing to do.
Many Americans believed that if we did
go to war against Saddam Hussein, he would
either be dead or captured by the end of the
--------------•
conflict. Didn't we pummel Panama just to
get Noriega? And Noriega didn't use
military installations to be inspected by
United Nations delegates. This was one of
the terms agreed to in the cease-fire that end-
ed the war. The President is denying that any
major deployment of U.S. troops is immi-
nent because he expects Saddam to comply.
That's funny. Isn't that the kind of state--
ment we were hearing all the way up to the
January 15th deadline this past winter? Since
Saddam refused to leave Kuwait despite fac-
ing a huge multi-national coalition that
would almost certainly destroy Iraq, why
does the President expect any different
behavior now? After all, wasn't it George
Bush who called likened Saddam Hussein to
Hitler a few short months ago?
Now that the post-war celebration has died
down, we can all think a bit more clearly.
The president never actually beleived his
public analogy that Hussein was "Hitler
revisited." It was just really great propagan-
da to get the American people ready and
will-
ing to go to war. It worked brilliantly as the
majority of Americans supported the war.
Americans believed they were fighting an evil
dictator who threatened the world.
George Bush expected this kind of reac-
tion to his attempts to define his opponent
in the Gulf Crisis.The most striking thing
about Saddam was that they were close to
mustard gas on his own citizens to quell
resistance. The President also publicly
call-
ed for the
citizens
of Iraq to rise up and fight
Hussein. They did, and George Bush said he
didn't want to get involved.
Was Operation Desert Storm a moral
crusade waged by "a kinder, gentler na-
tion?" No. It was just another example of
a president wrapping himself in the flag in
order to achieve his personal political
agenda.
We didn't destroy Iraq to free Kuwait or
to stand up for the new world order. We
went to war to protect our oil supply and to
prove we're still the toughest kid on the
block. The President has all but guaranteed
himself re-election. A quick and relatively
bloodless war is almost a sure-rrre way to get
re-elected. Just remember
what the Grenada
-Invasion did for
Ronald
Reagan in the
1984
campaign.
If any further military action is taken
against Iraq now or in the future, please
George, read my lips: Remove Saddam from
power. A madman is always a threat to
_the
world, especially a madman who wants
revenge.

In thanks
Dear Editor:
I would like to acknowledge the outpour-
ing of love and support that my family and
I have received in the last week. The pain of
my husband's death cannot be expressed in
words, yet in all darkness there is light and
the expressions of sympathy from every area
of the Marist Community have shown us that
we are not alone in our
grief.
Many gifts have been received towards a
student scholarship fund. This is something
that my husband had recently mentioned
would mean a great deal to him. He had
devoted his life to passing on his enthusiasm
for biology to his students. He wanted them
to share not only his commitment to the
discipline and integrity of scientific research,
but also his reverence and respect for the
wonder of God's creation.
Many of his former student5 are now
themseh·es teaching science, and no other
legacy could be more fitting.
Again thank you a!I for the moving
tributes we have received from our Marist
family.
Sincerely,
Cicely Perrotte

Letters to the Editor
Life
rather quizzical
Just say no to Clarence Thomas
for humor columnist
Dear Editor:
This letter is concerning the
nomination of Judge Clarence
Thomas to the Supreme Court.
Judge Thomas' nomination
shouki
not
be approved because of lack of
qualifications. He never had a
private practice and he never taught
law at any level of education.
Although these two examples
aren't necessary to
sit
on the bench,
most of the justices have these
simplest of qualifications.
Despite all of this, the probabili-
ty of his acceptance is very good.
He will make the Supreme Court
by a narrow margin. Why? There
are two reasons why we will see
Thomas fill the vacated spot left by
Thurgood
Marshall. The first
reason is because he is black and
the second reason is because an
election
year
is right
around
the
corner. These two reasons can be
summed up in one ugly word -
politics.
It was very interesting to see the
role of Senator Howard Heflin,
Democrat from Alabama. Let us
go back in time for a bit. When
Robert H. Bork was a nominee for
a vacant spot on the Supreme
Court bench, Mr. Heflin was very
vocal in opposition to his approval.
Now we see Heflin taking it easy
on Mr. Thomas. Why? Remember
that Mr. Heflin is from Alabama
Ads contradict editorial
Dear Editor:
I applaud The Circle's editorial
of Sept. 19 in your effort to call all
at Marist who use alcohol to do so
with responsibility. As education in
general is a long process, so your
goal of calling Marist to that
responsibility.
But I ask how a reader is to
understand that message on (less
than?) one quarter of the Editorial
page when there are three alcohol
ads in the same issue, one a whole
page and two others another a half
page each.
The full-page ad for Thrifty
Beverage provides readers with a
map from Marist's main entrance
to Thrifty's doors, open seven days
a week. Although one spot in the
ad tells usthat Thrifty sells "soda,
snacks and Lotto," the big bold
copy screams: Kegs, Beer Balls,
30-Packs.
The half-page ad for Skinners
needs no map. But it tells us we can
get more booze for the buck every
night, but Sunday. There is even
a
prize, but we are not told what this
is for. Food and daily food specials
do not appear what is being pro-
moted, what they are promoting is
drink specials.
Advertising
stores
and
restaurants that sell alcohol is by no
means illegal or
unethical.
But run-
ning two full pages of ads that pro-
mote alcohol specials (or any such
ads) would seem to make your
editorial schizophrenic.
Richmond J. Egan,
assocjate professor of
communication arts
and many of his constituents from
Alabama are black.
II
would not
look good for Heflin if he voted
this man down. Let me rephrase
that, it would look much better (in
the eyes of his black constituents)
if he approved his nomination. Mr.
Hel1in is not alone. Thfs wiil be the
same situation for many senators.
It appears that Mr. Heflin had
already defended his position. In a
quote from the New York Times,
Heflin said, "He may be a closet
liberal." Who wants to bet that
Heflin
votes
for
Thomas'
approval?

Over the summer, I noticed a
''Wedding
Etiquette"
quiz in
Cosmopolitan magazine,
(I
did
a
lot of heavy reading this
summer.)
However, questions
such as "\\'hac
do you do if your mother-in-Jaw-
to-be doesn't like your china pat-
tern?" don't apply here. What we
need is
a
"Welcome back
to
Marist
Etiquette" quiz to handle those
touch
situations
that will
inevitably
arise.
I. The first weekend back to
school you walk into Skinners and
see the man you've loved since
freshman year. You haven't seen
him since a drunken Boardy Barn
confession. Do you:
a. turn around and go to
Renaissance.
b. do shots.
c. show him the "Wedding Eti-
quette" quiz.
. 2. You're at the bookstore, buy-
mg a new semester's worth of
books. The cashier rings everything
up and tells you the unbelievable
total. Do you:
a. exclaim words that we can't
print.
b. ask the person next to you in
line if you can borrow $100.
c. tell yourself "Who needs
groceries?", books are definitely
more important.
3. Your professor assigns 200
pages of reading for the next class.
Because of your continuing quest
for academic excellence, you
already have homework for your
other classes. This new assignment
will leave you behind. Do you:
a. call your profes1oor's wife and
ask her ''Who was the blonde I
saw
your husband with
at
Shoprite on
Wednesday?"
b.
attempt
to purchase Clifr
Noles
for an
accou111i11g
tcxlbook.
c.

4.
Your new

"Madonna:

Coi-
lection•· on the stereo for the
billionth time and you arc going
crazy. Do you:
a. vow that you will learn to like
the new Anthrax and Public Enemv
song
and play it all the time.

b. cat the chocolate

c. tell her the girl down the hall

5. Aunt Ida from Boise send you

Somehow, all of Leo Hall knows
by the time you return from the
post office. Do you:
a. figure you have to make
friends, so you let your floor dig in.
b. hide the brownies and really
push the black Twizzlers.
c. tell everyone Aunt Ida has
some strange disease, rendering the
food smelly and gross merely
because she once touched it.
Due to this writer's incurable
spaziness when it comes to math,
this quiz comes without a score
chart. You're on your own girls
and boys. Good luck this year.

Stadium set for '92
by
JOY WILLIAMS
Staff Writer
Mounds of dirt are piling up on
the south end of campus due to a
new baseball field Marist is adding.
The new field is one of the re-
maining building projects schedul-
ed for 1991.
According to Mark Sullivan, ex-
ecutive vice president of Marist, the
baseball field will have the look of
a small stadium, complete with
bleachers and
a
press box.
"It will be one of the premiere
baseball fields in the area," said
Sullivan.
Sullivan said that the field will be
advanced in construction,
in-
cluding an up-to-date drainage
system, as well as first-class clay
and grass.
According to Sullivan, the new
field is being entirely funded by a

grant
from
the
McCann
Foundation.
If the weattier permits, the new
field will be ready for opening day
of the spring 1992 season, even
though arrangements have been
made to play on another field if it's
not yet completed, said Sullivan.
Other projects at Marist include
the completion of Donnelly Hall
and its parking lot, as well as the
installation of a new telecom-
munications system on the south
end of the campus.
The Donnelly parking lot now
has a perimeter road that takes
traffic around the lot instead of
through
it.
"Donnelly Hall, after three years
of work, is 99.5'completed," said
Sullivan.
The new telecommunications
system allows dorms on the south
end of campus to receive local and
long distance phone service in their
rooms.

ed - this included television pro-
grams, movies, music videos and

.
A scheduled visit to NBC Studios
in Burbank never happened either.
Brooks told students
that
because of a recent backstage
security leak, they were unable to
take the tour. However, students
learned from NBC employees that
NBC had canceled all its tours since
:January, first because of Operation
Desert Storm and then because the
pages who conduct the tours were
laid off said Megan McDonnell, a
senior ~ommunication arts major
from Massapequa, N.Y.
Mayer, who was supposed to be
teaching half the class and acc?m-
panying the students to various

production
facilities,
was
mysteriously absent for the whole
week except on two occasions, ac-
cording to students. Mayer paid no
attention to the students when they
finally did get on the "L.A. Law"
set, students said.
Brooks refuted the claim that
Mayer was teaching half the class
and said he was only a "guest lec-
turer."
"And that's what he did." He
spoke for three hours and students
were allowed and encouraged to
ask any questions. With a profes-
sional as respected as him, that's a
chance someone would kill for, she
said.
Trips to Universal Studios and to
Disneyland did not go as planned
either. On Wednesday, July 10, the
group was to tour Universal
Studios, but the students w~nt
without Brooks who
was
out Job
hunting, according to students.
Brooks also left Disneyland ear-
ly on Sunday, July 14, according
to students.
Brooks said she was back at the
hotel with a student who had con-
tracted a foot infection.
Brooks said some of the students
had little interest in television pro-
duction and she did not know why
they had taken the class.
"I saw excellent initiative in
some students and an appalling
lack of interest in others," she said.
"Some of the students are focus-
ing on the petty stuff and ignoring
the opportunity that some would
kill for. This trip was an excellent
opportunity to make contacts and
find out if this was something some
of them want to do after gradua-
tion."
After the trip, further problems
arose when students had to wait
weeks for their grades. Before they
left Poughkeepsie, Brooks had told
the students their grades would be
based on a journal and on an in-
terview each student had to com-
plete with someone in the com-
munications field in L.A.
The grades for summer courses
were due on August 22, but
students from the trip did not get
grades until the second week of the
fall term. The grades were late
because Brooks moved to L.A.
without giving her address to
Marist, forcing the college to find
the address and then mail her the
grade sheets, according to Char-
wat. Students say Brooks still has
not returned their journals or their
interview notes, which included ad-
dresses and phone numbers of con-
tacts they made in Hollywood
through the interviews.

Brooks said she had only receiv-
ed the grade sheets from the
Registrar's office two weeks ago
and she had sent them right out.
She also added that she still has the
journals and notes and she is go-
ing to send them out "as soon as
I have the time.''
Brooks cited a cross-country
move and long hours on her new
job as reasons why she hasn't yet
had time.
When told of the problems,
Charwat said: "I'm sorry that hap-
pened. I'm a proponent of travel
trips because travel trips are a great
learning experience, (but) these
trips are the responsibility of the
teachers."
"It
was a disaster," said Vitale.

Two games are in the books
for the men's baseball team -
sort of.
The men's season is split in
two - fall and spring. J:he fall
season is an ·exhibition cam-
paign. Although the fall games
count toward the-National Col-
legiate Athletic Association's
56-game limit, the record does
not carry over into the spring
season.
Last Saturday, Marist hosted
Fordham. The visitors came
away with a 6-2 victory.
However, the Red Foxes,
blessed with 12 players on at
least partial scholarship, won
their first gam·e ever, defeating
Rockland Community College
9-7.
"Our pitching has been good
but we haven't been hitting
much," said Head Coach Art
Smith. ~•But for some reason,
that usually happens in the
fall."

In only five games, the soccer
team has shown improvement from
last season. Some of the early
season success can be credited to
Palmer, the team's goalkeeper.
Just a freshman, Palmer comes
to Marist from Houston, Texas.
He and his parents, originally from
England, moved to this country 10
years ago.
After being noticed and recruited
by over 50 schools, Palmer decid-
ed to come to Marist because the
people "were really concerned
about me

a human being. A lot
of the other coaches saw me more
as
a piece of machinery, but here,
Dr. Goldman and the other

The Marist coaching staff has
had nothing but praise for the
goalkeeper.
"He's been great," said assistant
coach Dan Sullivan. "He works
really hard out there and has a

In addition to that honor,
Palmer was also named a captain
for the team.
"He is such a great leader out
there," said Sullivan. "The players
respect him."
Although Palmer is most noted
for his on the field talents, he has
off the field goals as well.
"I
know I'm here for an educa-
tion and that's important to me,"
he said. "The days are so hectic
around here, but if you work hard,
you can get your opportunity.
That's why a lot of people like
myself come to America, because
you don't get a lot of chances in
other countries."
As for future plans, the blonde-
haired Palmer has plenty. But right
now, he and the rest of his team are
focusing on getting into the Nor-
theast Conference tournament.
"Right now, that's our goal,"
said Palmer. "I'm really happy
right now and
I
hope the team can
continue to improve.
"We got a good bunch of guys
here, and everyone really sticks
together," he said. "We are like a
big
family, and
I
like chat."
Keily said he has been pleas-
ed
with
the performance of his
group.
"All the IZirls worked hard
over the summer," he said.
"There has been no moaning or
groaning about the work that
has to be done. They keep on
giving
a
solid effort."

Softball notches first win
by
J.W. STEWART
Staff Writer
For the second week in a row,
the softball team made history.
After playing its first game last
week, the first-year Red Foxes
earned their first-ever victory
Saturday against the College of St.
Rose.
Marist captured the first game of
the doubleheader 3-1. St. Rose,
which finished last year with a 30-2
regular season mark, evened the
afternoon by bombing Marist in
the second game, 13-2.
Trailing 1-0, the Red Foxes
tallied all three runs in the fifth in-
ning. Starting pitcher Kristen
Wallace helped herself by singling
to right and stealing second base.
Patty Ackerman then dropped a
bunt down the third base line and
reached first on a St. Rose throw-
ing error that allowed Wallace to
score from second.
Catcher Kathy Hull sacrificed
Ackerman to second, and with two
outs, clean-up hitter Terri Barn-
bakidou brought Ackerman home
with an RBI single to left. Bam-
bakidou then scored the final
Marist run on a single from Kate
O'Hanlon.
Wallace, who scattered six hits
over seven innings, kept St. Rose
in check as she notched the mound
win.
"I
think we played great," said
Head Coach Tom Chiavelli. "We
cut down on mental errors and
played great 'D.' I told them to
think during the game and they
responded."
St. Rose returned to last year's
form in game two.
The Knights charged to an 8-0
lead after three innings. After
touching starter Tricia Southworth
for single runs in the first and se-
cond, they exploded for six in the
third. The crushing blow was a
bases-loaded
triple by Caryn
Coughtry with two outs.
Southworth was removed from
the game after the third inning to
have her left shoulder examined. A
right-hander,
Southworth
dislocated it during practice earlier
in the week.
Chiavelli said he decided to go
with her in the second game
because "she said she was alright."
"I've always said, 'If you're not
ready to play, you're not.' But she
said she was," he said.
Terri Bambakidou, who took
over for Southworth
on the
mound, gave up five runs on seven
hits.
Marist scored their lone two runs
in the fifth off St. Rose reliever
Debbie Sohl. Hull and Ackerman
both reached on errors and Bam-
bakidou singled to load the bases.
Sylvia drew
a
walk to score a run
and a fielder's choice by O'Hanlon
accounted for the other.
After game two, Chiavelli was
quick to credit St. Rose. "There
isn't anything you can do about
it," he said. "They hit the ball,
they attacked it. I've got to give
them credit."
"I
was confident we could win
one today," he said.
"I
wanted to
win two, but you can see the im-
provement over the last two
games."

The football team will be sear-
. ching for its second win of the
season Saturday when it travels to
the nation's capital to take on
Gallaudet University.
Marist defeated the Bison last
year, 23-13.
Playing at Gallaudet, an all-deaf
school, is a different atmosphere
for the Red Foxes, said Head
Coach Pardy.
"They don't play the whistle,"
he said. "The play stops when the
ball carrier is completely on the
ground. They can't let up -
I
won't let them let up."
Last Saturday, it didn't take
Pace University long to realize the
Red Foxes meant business.
Having dropped its first two
games of the season, Marist need-
ed just over a minute to show it
wasn't about to lose three straight

player-of-the-week honors for the
third consecutive week.
The offensive line also deserves
credit for D' Aiuto's success, said
Pardy .
"He's got five studs up front
opening up humongous wholes for
him," he said. "The offensive line
has given us a steady performance
in each game."
The only other points Marist
needed came late in the opening
quarter.
Quarterback
Brian Mccourt
connected with Dan Phelan on a
33-yard touchdown pass to put the
Red Foxes ahead 12-0.
While D' Aiuto was getting a
breather on the sidelines, Julian
Wyse scampered 33 yards up the
middle to put Marist up 18-0. Mat-
thew Lynch - who has taken over
the place-kicking duties -
added
the extra point.
Lynch, a sophomore, also con-
nected on a 34--yard field goal to ac-
count for the only Marist points in
the second half.

by D' Aiuto. After D' Aiuto gained

Against Pace, Marist got both.
Cliff Jean-Louis and Jason
DiTullio each partially-blocked a
Pace punt. Marist also blocked a
punt in the opener against Iona.

sides of the line of scrimmage.

Hooters hit early season slide;

Despite improved play from last
season, the soccer team has found
itself in an early season slump.
Having won its first two games,
Marist has dropped three con-
secutive games -
all by one goal.
Last Saturday, the Red Foxes
lost a tough 1-0 decision at the
hands of Mt. St. Mary's - a Nor-
theast Conference foe.
Mt. St Mary's scored the only
goal of the game on a free kick.
Despite picking up the loss,
freshman goalkeeper Matt Palmer
notched three saves - bringing his
season total to 38.
Head Coach Howard Goldman
said
his
team
dominated
throughout the entire game but
could not come away with a
victory.
"We h~d complete control oft~
game," h"e said. "We had an op~n
goal and hit the crossbar once -
when you come that close, you
have to convert."
Last Wednesday, the Red Foxes
lost another hard fought battle.
Marist was defeated by St. Francis
(NY) 2-1 in overtime.
Junior Bobby Engrilla scored his
second goal of the season on an
assist from Shawn Scott. A junior,
Scott leads the team in scoring with
nine points.
Palmer had another fine day in
the net for the Red Foxes. The
newcomer from Texas tallied 15
saves.
St. Francis scored the winni~
goal with 10 minutes remaining
10
the second overtime.
Goldman said he was pleased
with his team's play, but is look-
ing for improved play on offense.
"We played well defensively, but
we are not doing one thing offen-
sively," he said. "We did not cash
in on our opportunities."
Marist now has an overall mark
of 2-3 while posting a record of 1-3
in Northeast Conference play.
The Red Foxes were on the road
once again yesterday when they
travelled to Connecticut to take on
the University of Hartford. Results
were not available at press time.
Marist will finish up its five-
game road trip Saturday against
Adelphi.
"We have a tough game coming
up," said Goldman. "Adelphi has
a strong team. We just have to
hang in there and do the best we
can."

The cross country teams con-
tinued to impress last weekend
as the men and women captured
third place at the King's College
Invitational.
Sophomore Dave Swift led
the Marist assault on the five-
mile course. Finishing fourth of
113 runners, Swift completed
the race in 26 minutes, 55
seconds.
Jason Vianese, a senior,
crossed the line with a time of
29:51 on the five mile course.
Men's coach Pete Colaizzo
said he was particularly pleased
with the performance
of
freshman Chris Schmitz.
"He's been the
~:!Y
performer
on the team," he said. • "!'e has
been the biggest surprise of all."
Also completing the race for
the Red Foxes were Matt Mur-
phy, Marty Feeney, Brian Ord-
way, Chris O'Keefe,
Rob
Johnson, Eugene Messmer and
Dan Becker.
Leading the way for the
Marist women was Jen Von-
Suskil. A junior, she finished
the 3.1 mile course in third with
a time of 18:46. It was the first
time she had been under 19
minutes this year, said women's
coach Phil Kelly.
Carla Angelini was the next
Marist runner across the line.
She finished the course in 20:02.
Sarah Sheehan trailed Angelini
by only three seconds.
Dawn Doty, Kristy Ryan and
Aarti Kapoor also completed
the course for the Marist
women.
Kelly said this was the best
showing by the Marist women
in the past several years.

This team only needs one more thing, me!
An open letter to Olympic
basketball coach Chuck Daly:
Dear Chuck,
You must be a very happy man.
You now have the easiest job in the
world -
coach of the greatest
basketball team ever assembled.
You know the best thing about
your job, Chuck? You don't have
to do a damn thing.
Heck, yoµ didn't even have to
hold try-outs for this team, a com-
mittee put it together for you.
And what a team it is. Let's see,
you could start Ewing, Malone and
Barkley up front. Or maybe Bird
and Robinson should start. And
what about Pippen? Well, Chuck,
it is a tough decision, but you will
figure it out.
You must be a little sore about
not having Isiah in your backcourt,
but you can still put the greatest
guard combination ever on the
floor - Magic and Michael: Don't
forget about Mullin and Stockton,
your number two tandem.
Chuck, I figure your team - as
get the ball? Most people would say
Jordan, Magic or Ewing. Wrong!
Nobody would expect me -
the
world's greatest decoy.
Imagine how great the front-
court would really be with me stret-
ching zone defenses with my three-
point ability. Wow.
Well, Chuck, my offer is on the
table. I could bring a lot of things
to this team. I hope you read this
carefully and take me into con-
sideration. I will be anxiously
awaiting your response.
Thanks again,
Mike.
A note to the football team:
Welcome back.
After a disappointing start, it
was good to see a return to form
in your weekend romp over Pace.
