Marist student interns at 'Pet Cemetery' law firm
by
MEGAN MCDONNELL
Senior Editor
Melissa McPeak said it looked
like a regular cemetery --except
for the names on the headstones.
"Instead of saying 'John Doe,'
the headstones read 'Fifi' or 'Muf-
fy,' "said McPeak, a senior com-
munication arts major from Pat-
chogue, N. Y.
.
This burial ground was
.called
The Long Island Pet Memorial
Park, before it was shut down June
18,
immediately upon the arrest of
its owners, Alan and Samuel
Strauss, for dumping around
250,000 dead animals in pits behind
the cemetery in Middle Island,
N.Y.
McPeak was a representative of
Keegan and Keegan, a Jaw firm
based in Patchogue,
N.Y.,
for
which she served a six-credit intern-
ship from from May to August
through
Marist's
paralegal
department.
As an assistant to Tom Keegan,
Jr .. she conducted research and
handled client relations and files
for the father-and-son legal team
which is currently representing ap-
proximately 2,000 clients suing the
owners of the pet cemetery for
breach of contract.
According to McPeak, one of
the aims of the firm is to reimburse
clients for financial losses which
ran anywhere from $75 to $7,000,
including the funeral service,
headstone and casket-one that
was most likely used in a previous
ceremony.
.
"In dealing with the people, I
learned that they aren't in it for the
money," she said. "They are more
concerned about upkeeping what
dignity is left of the situation."
McPeak spoke to more than 100
people a day, as she was responsi-
ble for both client and inter-office
communication between her firm
and those of the referring at-
torneys, who were also working on
the case.

distressed," said McPealc. "Some

~Necessary
Roughness', the same old thing

BRIAN McNELIS
"Necessary Roughness," the new film
directed by Stan Dragoti, is a rather weak

lege football team.
help it can get. It is rebuilding because of
NCAA violations the year before. The en-
tire previous team was suspended, so they
must start from scratch.
What follows after that is the standard
fare for this type of movie and that is where
the main problem of the film lies. The film
offers no surprises -
we have seen it all
before. The idea of a team of losers that
becomes winners was done much better with
previous films, such as "Major League" and
probably the best of its kind, "The Longest
Yard."
standard cliches - the aging star, the new
coach who just wants to see his team win,
the underhanded tactics, inexperienced
rookies and, of course, the beautiful lady.
The beautiful lady here, and I do mean
beautiful, is Kathy Ireland. She plays the
team's place kicker.
The film stars Scott Bakula, of T.V.'s
•
"Quantum Leap" fame, as an aging ex-high
school football star. He is coaxed back to
school to become the oldest freshman, as
well as the quarterback of the college team.
Bakula tries, but is not very convincing in
the role.
The film does have its fair share of laughs
- but not enough. Several of the jokes fall
flat and the ones that are funny are few and
far between.
The team, it seems, is in need of all the

"Necessary Roughness" also contains the
standard love story sub-plot. In this case, it

Problems mount for Reynard staff
by
NOELLE BELOIN
Staff Writer
Despite a lack of a faculty ad-
visor, trouble contacting off-
campus seniors and a need for
photographers and copy writers,
the Marist yearbook staff has met
its first deadline of cover design,
said Kelly Lagan, The Reynard
yearbook editor.
But there's a lot of frustration
with putting The Reynard together,
although Bob Lynch, coordinator
of college activities, has been very
helpful, said Lagan, a senior from
North Babylon,
N.Y.
According to Lagan, this year's
Reynard will be classic in style with
no theme other than tradition.
The senior portraits, being taken
Oct. 4, 5, 7, 8, 14 and 15, are caus-
ing the yearbook staff problems.
Seniors who Jive on campus are
being sent letters about the photo
sessions, but many seniors living
off campus haven't given their ad-
dress to Marist so it is hard for the
staff to contact them, said Lagan.
Senior and faculty photos are be-
ing taken professionally, but the
rest is being done by one student
because
the
yearbook
is
understaffed.
Lagan is one of nine editors in-
volved in individual sections rang-
ing from layout to copy and each
has his own staff, said Lagan.
Everyone is working together to
meet deadlines and they're all do-
ing their share of the work, said
Lagan.
"I'm
not doing the major
manual work; I basically delegate
the responsibilities and approve
such decisions as layout, design and
copy," said Lagan.
"I
do have a
good staff, but they have to be
because I expect people to give 100
percent," said Lagan.

are the best thing about "Necessary

It is time Hollywood stopped relying on
time-worn, cliche-ridden story lines to make
a quick buck. Eventually, the movies being
produced will become routine and boring.
"Necessary Roughness" is a good example
of that.

THE CIRCLE, OCTOBER 3, 1991
For newest
VP,
the job has
a familiar look
by
MARY-CAY PROVOST
Staff Writer and
JENN JOHANNESSEN
Managing Editor
When President Dennis J. Mur-
ray named Shaileen Kopec vice
president of college advancement,
her appointment
came as no
surprise.
After all, Kopec, who had been
acting vice president on an interim
basis for over a year, had the ex-
perience and qualifications several
times over. She also became the
first woman to be seated on the
Senior Executive Administration.
However, it's clear being a
woman had nothing to do with her
promotion.
Kopec has been working for
Marist for 19 years in capacities
such as alumni director, director of
public relations, director of enroll-
ment communications and, most
recently, director of development.
Kopec, and the rest of the office
of college advancement, deals
primarily with the fund raising and
soliciting
contributions
from
businesses and corporations.
Kopec's main function is to be sure
to develop support for Marist Col-
lege and to carry through Marist's
institutional goals.
These goals, known in college
advancement as the Marist mission,
include advancing
education,
bringing good to the community,
showing the public and the Marist
community there is a commitment
to service· and helping students
develop values that they will hold
for the rest of their lives, Kopec
said.
"The community is very suppor-
tive of Marist and the people show
their support with gifts. It's very
comforting to know these people
give the gifts because they care
about Marist and its students,"
added Kopec.
Kopec is performing two jobs at
once right now until her old posi-
tion, director of development is fill-
ed. And she is anticipating the day
when that comes.
"I'm not complaining, but I've
just been so busy with fund raising
and keeping up with my respon-
sibilities, I'm going in every direc-
tion," Kopec said.
Kopec graduated from Em-
manuel College with a degree in
English and received her master's
degree from Fairfield University.
She began her career as a staff
editor for the West Haven, Con-
necticut Town Crier and then went
on to the University of New Haven
where she held the position of assis-
tant director of public relations.
Kopec, her husband and their
two daughters came to the Hudson
Valley because her husband works
for IBM.
"I liked the college atmosphere
because of what I had been expos-
ed to working at the University of
New Haven," she said.
Kopec's family owned the New
Haven Town Crier for many years
and it was then she decided her per-
sonality would be best for the
public relations end of the business.
"My parents always had the
paper and I just didn't have the
calling to be a journalist," said
Kopec.
Still, even after 19 years, the
challenge of the day-to-day job as
Courtesy photo
head of college advancement
hasn't faded.
'
"Marist
has always
been
dynamic. It is never boring. The
energy and innovation are incredi-
ble and there is always something
going on. I've had so many oppor-
tunities here at Marist, I honestly
learn something new every day
about the school, " she said.
Who shot 'Hudson Heights?' Show

by
MARY-CAY PROVOST
Staff Writer
Will Jack and Susan ever get
together? Will Bob ever find out his
sister is really his daughter from his
third marriage to his fourth cousin,
once removed? These and other
questions will be answered in the
next episode
of " Hudson
Heights," or will they?
"Hudson Heights", HH, the
soap opera starring, written and
directed by Marist students last
year, has wound up on the cutting
room floor, only to be remembered
by students as an idea that was
close, but no cigar.
HH is somewhere in videoland,
but it is very unlikely the Marist
community will ever catch a glimp-
se of the 30-something scenes mak-
illg up
the
firS-t ePis,0de.
..,_

According to Russ Caputo, the
director of
HH,
one show took an
entire semester to film because of
unexpected
scheduling
and
shooting problems.
"For a show like this to get off
the ground, the people involved
would have had to drop out of
school," said Caputo, a senior
from Matawan, N .J.
Upon returning from Christmas
break last year, the 17-member cast
discovered conflicting schedules
created problems in organizing
practices and shooting scenes, said
Matt Corcoran, producer of HH.
"I'd be setting up times and I'd
have four of the five characters
scheduled and I'd call up the fifth
and that person wouldn't be able
to make it, so I'd have to start all

over again," said Corcoran,
,ta·
senior from Hauppauge, N.Y.
The actors would get frustrated
because we'd have to practice the
same scene over and over again in
the studio and then again after we
got over to shoot the scenes in a
Leo Hall dorm room, said Caputo.
"It
was really hard because I'd
go over the scene we'd be shooting
the next day and get a picture of
how I wanted it, but when we'd go
into the room in Leo Hall, it
wouldn't be as big as I wanted and
we'd have to make adjustments,"
said Caputo.
Corcoran
said only seven
students of the original 17-member
cast are still at Marist, which made
it difficult to create a second
episode.
"We weren't able to develop the
·characters that much-

episode,
to
have them die in these-
cond show," said Corcoran.
Both Caputo and Corcoran said
they didn't anticipate that this pro-
gram would be so hard to put
together.
"It
was harder than we an-·
ticipated," said Corcoran. "The
people were losing interest and the
schedules were ridiculous."
Everyone was disappointed in
the fact the show didn't air, but we
were really concerned that our
reputation would be hurt because
we didn't come through, said
Corcoran.

by
MARY-CAY PROVOST
Staff Writer
Shaileen Kopec, vice president of
college advancement, has announc-
ed the appointments of two new
members to the advancement team.
Richard V. Horan, who has a
background
in government,
business and non-profit organiza-
tions as a consultant and executive,
has been named director of foun-
dation and government relations.
His efforts will focus on the
development of major funding op-
portunities related to institutional
priorities, which will be reported
directly to Kopec.
Horan was a staff consultant to
the Nixon White House for the Of-
fice of Management and Budget;
he also served in the Reagan
Private Sector Survey of Cost
Control.
He has a bachelor's degree from
New York University and owns a
real estate development company in
Darien, Conn.
Kopec appointed G. Modele
Clarke as the new editor for college
advancement, a restructured posi-
tion which used to be held by the
assistant
director
of public
relations.
Clarke will be responsible for
consolidating editorial duties for all
advancement publications,
in-
cluding "Marist Magazine" and
"Alumni News."
About that time, freshman Chris
Sommella neared completion of his
College Writing essay on his per-
sonal computer when the screen
went blank. All of his hard work
was erased instantly.
Lamenting the loss, Sommella,
a business major from Ramsey,
N.J. said, "I wrote the paper as I
was doing it on my computer and
was almost finished when the
power was cut:,.,
Needless to say, Champagnat
resident Sommella was not pleas-

11:25 that day. Fortunately, Som-
mella's professor granted him an
extension.
Some other students were not so
lucky as many alarm clocks set for
the Thursday morning classes never
went off.
"Someone should have come by
to wake us up or cancelled our
classes. No one just springs up for
an 8;15," said Freshman Laurette
Lapadura.
"It was a cool excuse to miss
your 8:15, but I was annoyed with
the people in the hallway scream-
ing," said Sarah Reilly, a business
major from Newtown, Conn.
Apart
from some missed classes,
the loss of power did provide some
rather creative entertainment that
evening for some freshmen.
"Some guy was running around
the building wearing a hockey
mask pretending he was 'Jason',"
said Mark Delong, a history ma-
jor from Northport, NY.
"The guys had a huge powder
fight on our floor and were clean-
ing it up until two in the after-
noon," said Sue Moroney, a com-
munication
arts major
from
Jackson, N.J. She also described
the atmosphere as a circus calling
nearly everyone a "bunch of
screaming lunatics."
The power cut not o~ly meant
freshmen did not have lights, but
no use of the bathrooms as well.
• "At first it was fun at night when
everyone was running around and
screaming, but in the morning it
was inconvenient when we couldn't
take showers," said Tamieka Pen-
nycooke, an English major from
Brooklyn, NY.
"I walked into the bathroom and
the door was taped shut. I thought
it was a prank and just broke
through and went to the bathroom
anyway." said Matt Bourne, a
communication arts major from

Review of
college
to begin
3
by
JOY WILLIAMS
Staff Writer
"Marist is a college on the move
and headed in the right direction,"
said the 1981 Middle States
Association Reaccreditation report.
Now, after ten years of changes,
Marist is up for re-evaluation by
the Middle States Evaluation team.
These changes include three
areas in which the school was lack-
ing in the 1981 report-
deficien-
cies in the library, a lack of women
and minorities in faculty and pro-
blems in faculty governance.
The library has made major
strides toward being a better facili-
ty, said Dr. Vernon Vavrina, co-
chairman of the Task Force on the
Library for the Middle States
Evaluation and past chairman of
the
Library
Development
Committee.
According to John McGinty,
director of the library, Marist ob-
tains about 6,500 books a year -
that is over half of the Middle
States recommendation of 10,000
books a year.
"The number of books is not im-
portant," Vavrina said. "What is
important is that the books we have
are pertinent to students' needs."
In accordance with this, the
library has set up a book approval
plan, whereby books are sent to the
library by a distributor for review
by the library and teachers. If the
library decides to keep the book,
they send the distributor money
and the book goes directly to the
shelves - if the book isn't chosen,
it is sent back.
Marist keeps about
800Jo
of the
books it approves through the p\an,
said
McG\nt-y.
With a substantial increase in
funding since 1989, Marist has been
able to purchase many electronic
data bases, McGinty said.
Pro-Quest is the principle feature
of the new technology system, in-
cluding a general periodical data
base and ABI-
a business data
base.
McGinty pointed out that there
are over 12,000 periodicals index-
ed and abstracted in Pro-Quest,
about half of which are in full text,
meaning an entire issue or a part
of one can be printed from CD
ROM
cassettes available in the
library.
Another area that has seen many
changes since the 1981 evaluation
is the hiring of more women and
minorities on the faculty and staff.
In their 1981 report, the evalua-
tion team noted that of the full-
time staff of 80, only 13 were
women, all of whom were concen-
trated in the lower ranks of faculty.
According to Dr. Linda Cool,
assistant academic vice president
and dean of academic programs,
Marist has approximately 150 full-
time staff members, of which a lit-
tle over 40 are women.
"I think you're going to find
that the women's numbers still tend
to be concentrated in the lower
ranks, which is a subject of some
concern, but certainly we have
more women advancing than we
did then," said Cool.
During
the
previous
re-
evaluation, Marist was in the pro-
cess of reorganizing their tradi-
tional liberal arts academic depart-
ments into the current divisional
structure.
Since then, the new structure has
been put into place and a faculty
handbook has been written and
rewritten.
Now, in 1991, the college is in
the early talking
stages of
reorganizing the di,.isions again,
said Cool.
"It
appears that the Middle
States Committee that will be com-
ing
"ill

which is considering reorganizing
itself academically," concluded
Cool.

Marist College initiated a U.S.-

this semester by playing host to the
founders of the Institute for
Foreign Language in the Ukraine
-
Tatyana and Sergei Vlasova.
Upon the recommendation of
Dr. Casimir Norkeliunas, Marist's
director of Russian area studies,
the college granted Tatyana
Vlasova temporary adjunct status
to instruct one elementary Russian
language class this fall.
"Everyone is enthusiastic about
attending classes and they all work
hard," Tatyana Vlasova said of her
Marist students.

In order to promote a more
academic environment during the
school week and to reduce the
n~mber of incidents involving over-
mght guests, Marist College will
now discourage the issuance of
overnight guest passes Sunday
through Thursday nights, accor-
ding to college officials.
Although the
1991-1992
Student
Handbook does not state verbatim
that students aren't allowed to have
overnight g~ests between Sunday
and Thursday, Marist officials said
they will strongly emphasize that
overnight guests will not be permit-
ted during the school week.
"There will be no overnight
guest passes from Sunday through
Thursday," said
John
Padovani,
assistant director of housing and
summer operations.
The handbook states "Guests
normally do not' come to campus
from Sun~ay night through Thurs-
day night because of the respect for
the student's need to concentrate
on academic studies."
"The policy changed for two
reasons; to support a more
academic environment Sunday
through Thursday and to put more
control on overnight guests not
adhering to college policy," said
Padovani.
The guest pass was created to in-
sure safety amongst all the students
at Marist, according to Peter
Amato, assistant dean for student
affairs.
"We want to make things safer.
When a student bypasses or breaks
the rule, he or she leaves the cam-
pus in jeopardy. Students have a
responsibility for each other, the
safety and security of their
classmates," said Amato.
Marist .officials want to curb the
number of incidents that take place
involving the problematic over-
night guest, said James Raimo,
director of housing and summer
operations.
"There always are incidents, its
not uncommon to have guest
passes revoked. We have had
guests threaten staff and assault
other students," Raimo said.
"Many times when we have pro-
blems, its the guests and not the
Marist students. The guests do
what they want, they aren't con-
tributing anything. By not having
guests during the school week, it
will be a safer and more academic
environment for the students,"
said Raimo.
Raimo said he does recognize the
desire for students to have over-
night guests and will issues passes
for weekend visitors.
Guest passes are issued every Fri-
day between 2:00 and 4:30 p.m. in

Marist students Matthew Kruger

"Dialog" for one week of in-
termediate
Russian language
courses during one of Norkeliunas'
annual student tours of the Soviet
Union last winter.
The classes met three hours per
day for one week and included a
one-hour daily tour of Kiev to
practice the language, according to
Kruger.

According to Norkeliunas, the
educational system in the Soviet
Union is such that by high school

Leonard Fein, a noted author
and educator, will give a lecture en-
titled "Jews and the Justice Tradi-
tion" on Wednesday, Oct. 9 at 8
p.m. in the Campus Center
Theater, as part of the William and
Sadie Effron Lecture Series in
Jewish Studies.
Fein's
most recent book,
"Where Are We? The Inner Life
of America's Jews," published in
1988,
was chosen by the Book-of-
the-Month Club. Another of his
books, "Israel: Politics and Peo-
ple," was a required text in all
Israeli universities for ten years.
More than 400 of his articles and
essays have appeared in many
magazines and journals such as
The New York Times, The New
Republic and Commentary.
Fein taught political science at
the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology and was a professor of
Politics and Social Policy at
Brandeis University. He founded
"Moment"
magazine in 1974,
which became the country's top in-
dependent magazine of Jewish af-
fairs. In 1985 Fein founded
"Mazon," a program that is the
American Jewish community's
main campaign against world
hunger.
Fein has lectured in more than
350 American communities, 60 col-
lege campuses and a dozen foreign
countries. He has also served as a

Such prominent speakers in the
lecture series have included Chaim

"Classes in England were much
more intimate and teachers treated
you as if you were an equal and
what you had to say was of value,"
said Moraitis.
According to Jennifer Heekin, a
senior who spent a year at Trinity
and All Saints College in Leeds,
England, education abroad is bas-
ed more upon independ&nt study.
"There are no chapters to read
for the next class or textbooks to
study from," said Heekin. "You
are handed a list of books to help
you research for papers and dates
those papers are due and the rest
is up to you."
.
Education in Europe is free and
competitive, and as a result, only
the top two percent go on to c?l-

attend a university in England, he
would finish school at I 6.

Canterbury Tales
406 Canterbury residents can't
all be unhappy, can they?
Every year, it seems certain issues are bound to come up;
it's only a question of when. Take Canterbury, for example.
While many students wish Marist would do just that - take
Canterbury, as usual it appears the vocal minority (the ones
who hate Canterbury life) are the only ones we hear from.
Why is this?
Is it because the vocal minority is, in fact, the majority and
everyone hates Canterbury? This _might be a little extreme,
but it is possible. After all, nobody will confuse Canterbury
with on-campus housing. It's segregated and very often the
residents out there feel like second-class Marist students. Those
residents
who
don't
have the
luxury
of owni\lg
a car must en-
• diire· vari trips that more resemble· a ride on the
,·,s'cream
Machine" at Great Adventure than they do anyf orm of mass
transportation. But it's either that or wal1.c
Maybe the reason we only hear from •
the students who
dislike Canterbury is because the ones who do like it are hap-
py and don't see the need in complaining about it in The Cir-
cle. When you think about it, this has some credence too. How
many headlines in this newspaper have read, "Students praise
Canterbury life."? Not many.
Yet, the fact remains that many students don't mind living
out there. Some actually request it. The office of housing and
residential life estimates that some 165 students actually put
down Canterbury as first choice for housing this year.
Now granted, some people that fall into this category are
both true pessimists and realists at the same time; they simp-
ly know they won't get housing on campus, so they figure
"If
I put down Canterbury, at least I can say I got my first
choice.''
But still, it's not like some people don't actually prefer it.
As one resident said, "It's quiet, it's private and the apart-
ments are huge."
With the possibility of a new. dorm being erected on cam-
pus as early as the fall of 1993, perhaps the Canterbury saga
will fade a bit from the limelight.
As for now, though, there's really not much more anyone
can do other than simply discuss it. The Housing office makes
the best with what they have. It's not their fault, there's not
another dormitory on campus and the only alternative is an
apartment complex located five miles off campus.

Gephardt. Not Al Gore. And not Mario
Cuomo. Even Jesse might not run this time
around. Call it "the silence of the lambs."
Of course, each of these three serious con-
tenders (sorry, Jesse) try to justify their not
running this time around. And of course, it
has absolutely nothing to do with George
Bush. Nab, couldn't be. They just have
"things to do" in the Congress, or the
Senate, or in New York State. This excuse
may wash for Mario, but it doesn't work for
the other two. Gephart and Gore both had
"things to do" back in 1988, but that didn't
stop them from running. They both were
pushed aside by that juggernaut Michael
"Mr. Personality" Dukakis, but they still
gave it
a
shot. Roth these potential nominees
why. Is it a skeleton in his closet? Is it. his
feat of media scrutiny? Who knows. Maybe
he realizes how hypocritical it would be to
run against George, telling the world what
lousy shape the country is in, while Mario's
state is in even worse shape. Despite this fact,
most political experts, whoever they are, still
believe Mario would have the best chance
against the Republican nominee. He's a
brilliant speaker. Never mind the fact that
he's not saying anything relevant. It work-
ed for Reagan and Jesse. Like him or not,
Mario could be a good candidate, at least.
better than the past five Democratic
nominees. Yo, Mario! Put up or shut up.
Either run, or stop complaining about the
president and try to rebuild the state you've
destroyed.
The Democrats have decided to save their
big guns until the 1996 election. Never mind
the fact that there are real issues that could
hurt George Bush, like the economy -and
Saddam Hussein. Wait until 1996. The
Democrats figure whoever the Republican's
put up il'!en
will
be an easy opponent. That's
also wi,at they said about Ronald Reagan
and George Bush too. For the sake of the
Democratic party, this plan had better work.
If it doesn't, they might be waiting until
2004, when the Democrats try to stop the
unknown successor to President Quayle.
And then they'll regret their "silence of the
lambs" in 1992.

Internships available
Dear Editor:
You could be walking the halls
of the New York State Legislature
next January, or maybe you prefer
Washington, D.C., or working
locally as a representative of the
Govenor. The opportunities exist if
you are a junior or senior, have a
minimum GPA of 2.8 and an in-
terest in politics, journalism,
history, policy or management.
In the past, we have had students
working at the Democratic Na-
tional
Committee,
Senator
Moynihan's
office, the Arab
League (during the Persian Gulf
War!) -
all in the middle of the
things most of us just read about!

Ev_eryone knows the perils of
drinking and driving. That is one
thing I try to avoid. My problem,
though,
can
sometimes be drinking
and walking. When that becomes
a problem, I know that it is time
to make my exit (usually this coin-
cides with the point where all my
money is spent). Because I am the
Columnist Who Cares and want to
save you from doing· something
regrettable, I have polled my
friends, housemates and random
people I don't know, as to when
they know they've had enough.
Clip and save this handy checklist
and bring it out with you next time
for quick and handy reference.
Next time I see you at Skinner's I
will ask to see it.
You know it's time to go home
when ... (Remember, these are true
and painfully embarrassing stories,
so next
time
you see my
housemates be sure to ridicule them
to their face.)
1. You throw up on your
boyfriend.
2. You kiss the car seat next to
you, forgetting that your date has
already exited the car.
3. Twenty dollars does not seem
like a ridiculous price for a cab
ride.
4. You are kicked out of Bertie's
for hurling peanuts at the dancers
below.
5.

your fingers through the cab
driver's hair, telling him that his
name is your favorite.
6. It is your second trip of the
night to the Donnelly
cash
machine.
1.
You tell everyone in the bar,
even the people you hate,
"I
love
you."
8. The bartender is the best look-
ing man/woman you have seen in
your life.
9. The hard benches at the bars
look like soft fluffy beds.
10. You don't have enough
energy to figure out which key is
the house key, so you sleep on the
lawn.
11.
You light the wrong end of
the cigarette, and proceed to smoke
it (what foul odor?).
12. You sing at Karoke Night at
Skinner's.
13. You agree to drink anything,
with anyone, if you're not paying.
14. The whole party knows your
"Life's Most Embarrassing Mo-
ment"-because you told them.
15.
The girl your boyfriend
hooked up with two years ago and
about whom you haven't stopped
bothering him about since, is look-
ing particularly good tonight.
I am sure you are all thin.king
"I
can't believe she didn't put ... ", so
tell me what I missed. I know that
you have never looked so silly after
a couple, but I heard your friends
have been known to get a little out
of control sometimes. I'll be wat-
ching you.

was the direct result of only a small
amount of users. They were,
however, in direct viloation of the
Marist College Computing Agree-
ment. Time to jump back to pre-
sent day. Ok, you're wondering
what does this really have to do
-with you now. That's easy. Com-
puter etiquette. More and more
students have been able to obtain
a temporary or (for example, the
Graphics Research Group) a more
permanent CMS account. Up un-
til mostly 1990, the student aide
staff who help other students with
software packages and also the two
acedemic
operating
systems,
MUSICB and CMS, were not even
given the priviledge
to
reaquire per-
sonal CMS accounts.
The point . I'm trying to get
across is that the Computer Center
is finally easing
up
from the
1985
banishment. Our second chance
could easily end if users do not
follow the Marist College Com-
puting Agreement (which can be
reviewed on MUSICB by typing
"AGREE").
I encourage every
computer user to try and become
aware of the vast amount of
resources available thru the net-
works. These resources are there
for us to use. Reap the benefits, but
don't abuse them. What can you
do?
Start by rereading the Com-
puting Agreement. If you don't
understand it, ask someone because
you are bound to it. Always
remember, every Tell (interactive
message) and every piece of mail
you send can be saved by someone
else and used against you. Thanks
for reading this.

ferent as well.
by
HOLLY WOEHR
Staff Writer
Getti~g homework done, among
other things, apparently is becom-
ing harder than usual for those
students who reside in the Canter-
bury Garden Apartments.
When Sean Fisher, a junior at
Marist, completed his paper for
biology class; he stepped out of his
apartment to type it at the com-
puter facility located within
Canterbury.
However, when he reached the
computer room he discovered two
of the five computers were broken
and a line of about four other peo-
ple waiting to use the others. In
frustration, he stepped outside and
screamed, "This place sucks!"
According to some students this
is not an uncommon scenario and
is just one of the inadequacies one
can find in Canterbury.
Canterbury,
an off-campus
housing apartment complex, rented
by Marist currently houses most of
the junior class and some seniors.
There is, however, an obvious
difference of opinion between
students and Marist officials about
just how well they are being
housed.
The computer facilities, a lack of
activities, and alienation from from
campus were among the complaints
of students living
in
Canterbury.
"If
you're going to put so many
of us out here," said junior Pat
Sullivan, "why not put some real
money into it? Wow! They gave us
five computers. Do they know how
many people are out here?"
John Padovani, assistant direc-
tor of housing and residential life
said,

waits for AP
by
JOY SANCHEZ
Staff Writer
The campus radio station,
WMCR,
renewed its contract to
keep the Associated Press news ser-
vice after the service was in danger
of being cut due to communication
problems about the budget.
The AP service, which sends
news as it happens over a wire to
the station, was traditionally re-
quested in the spring for the next
academic year.
This past spring, WMCR had
back bills to pay and the paper-
work was not processed. When
Tom Morgan, general manager of
the station, asked those in the Ac~
tivities Office if WMCR needed to
request money for the fall budget,
the answer was no, but the
response was referring
t<;>
the past
outstanding bill, Morgan said.
Because of this communication
problem, the budget for the
AP
news service, which costs $3,998
per year, might not have been pass-
ed by the Financial Board.
"It
was no one's fault," said
Morgan, a communication arts ma-
jor from Madison, N.J., "there
was just
a
lot of confusion."
After WMCR submitted a revis-
ed budget, Morgan had to speak
before the Financial Board at
Grievance Night last Wednesday to
see if the budget would be re-
approved, which is a process many
clubs must go through.
.
• 'Morgan
stressed the importance
,
.
of the news service to the station
•
and people who work there.
"It is the most crucial part of the
station,"
Morgan said. "We
employ
45
news people who learn
very important skills."
One of the skills learned is "rip
and read", which means creating
a story from what the news service
prints out as factual blurbs - no
sentences. They
take
the informa-
tion and write the story in
J
5
minutes while they wait to go
on
the air.
"I don't
believe they are
alienated. They are encouraged to
participate in campus activities,
and they have activities out there
as well, like their barbecues and the
Canterbury Jam."
Still other students question why,
if they are living in an off-campus
housing site, should they be held to
campus policies.
Craig Bocchiaro of Oldbridge,
N.J. said,
"If
they're going to stick
us out here, approximately five
miles from the campus, and have
us living with Poughkeepsie
residents, then why aren't we
treated like them?"
Sansola said, "But these kids are
not Poughkeepsie residents. They
are Marist students and they still
carry all the privileges that go with
being a Marist
'.:
student. Just
because they live off campus does
not make them exempt from the
law."
Officials feel the junior class is
not being alienated from campus
but rather being brought closer
together by being housed in the
same facility.
"There are a number of juniors
in Canterbury and there is ample
opportunity
for them to be
united." said Sansola. "They have
much more accessibility out there."
. Padovani said the college i~ mak-
mg every effort to make the
Canterbury experience as positive
as possible.
"Some students look at Canter-
bury as some sort of punishment
~ut every year we try to get bette;
ideas and change things to make it
the best possible."
A $16,000 blood chemistry
analyzer donated to Marist by an
anonymous company was installed
in
the
medical
technology
laboratory in Donnelly Hall on
Wednesday, September 18.
The new system, manufactured
oy the Eastman Kodak Company,
will help students in the medical
technology program gain hands-on
experience which will be helpful in
their future careers, said Dr.
Robert
Sullivan,
medical
technology
clinical education
coordinator.
In addition to classroom use,
Sullivan hopes to use the system for
an on-campus health screening
program.
The main unit can be used in
testing
cholesterol,
HDL
cholesterol, glucose and many
other health-related concerns. Its
portability will allow Sullivan to set
it up in different buildings on cam.:
'
pus and coordinate monthly health
screening tests.
The analyzer, called the Kodak
Ektachem DT 60 Analyzer, is a dry
cheJlllstry system, as opposed to the
typical "wet" chemistry systems
used in laboratories. The unit
creates no liquid waste and the
biological waste is sealed in a small
plastic bag and can then be treated
as solid waste.
"It's
a lot safer for the
laboratory and for the community
in general as far as biological waste
goes," said Sullivan.
The medical technology program
at Marist involves a six-month
clinical rotation to the medical
laboratories

Tuesday, October 8
8:00 PM
Theatre,

Sponsored by the
College Union Board
Laboratories and the City of
Kingston Laboratory. The students
have the opportunity to work with
a similar dry-chemistry system at
St. Francis, and two other -wet-
chemistry
systems
at MDS
Laboratories and the City of
Kingston Laboratory.
Sullivan feels this adds variety to
the students' work in the medical
technology field. They have the ad-
vantage of working with the fully
automated system at St. Francis
while learning how the different
components of the DT 60 Analyzer
work.
Students are likely to encounter
both kinds of units in their future
work experience, said Sullivan.
According to Sullivan, the ma-
jor advantage St. Francis has with
the more advanced $200,000
system is the capability to run
multiple tests on multiple patients.
The main control unit of the DT
60 Analyzer, called the color-a-
metric unit, has various functions
and can measure a large number of
tests such as glucose, cholesterol
and blood sugar.
Another unit measures blood
electrolytes - which are important
in preventing heart problems, said
Sullivan.
The last unit, the kinetic enzyme,
measures the actions of enzymes
and is helpful with patients who
have heart or liver problems.
Marist has no direct affiliation
with Kodak itself, other than the

Having lost many top players
to graduation, the men's tennis
team is struggling through its
fall season.
The Red Foxes, under the
direction of first-year Head
Coach Jim Parady, have yet to
capture a victory in the brief fall
.
season, posting a mark of 0-4.
With the loss of top players,
Marist is in the process of
rebuilding, said senior John
Circle

Cleary.
"We are a young team that is
suffering from inexperience,"
he said. "Our opponents have
been more well-seasoned and we
are playing a very tough fall
schedule. Canisius, Fairleigh
Dickinson and Vassar are very
tough opponents."
"We
will
be more competitive
in the spring,"· Cleary said.
"We will get better."

In its first regatta since being
reformed, the sailing club placed
ninth in the two-day Corinthians
Inner-Collegiate Regatta.
Marist competed against 14

which consisted of smaller boats.
Over 25 boats from 20 different
colleges took part in the regatta,
which was held at the Larchmont
Yacht Club in Larchmont, N.Y.
The Marist group was up against

Foster said he was happy with
the win.
"Queens played a very tough
match," he said. "We started out
slow, but we were able to turn it
around in the third game."
Foster said he is pleased with the

It was another
successful
weekend for the cross country
teams.
Continuing to improve each
week, both the men and the women
grabbed top five finishes last Satur-
day at the Hunter College Invita-
tional at Van Cortland Park in the
Bronx.
The Lady Red Foxes garnered
third place honors in the field of 28
teams.
Women's coach Phil Kelly said
his team was in a very strong field.
"It's one of the most competitive
meets of the year," he said.
Marist was once again led by Jen
VonSuskil. The junior completed
the 3.1 mile course in 20 minutes,
one second, placing her second
overall.
-
Also finishing the course under
21 minutes· were juniors Sarah
Sheehan and Kristi Ryan. Sheehan
completed the course with a time
of 20:58 while Ryan crossed the line
just a second behind.
"l was particularly pleased with
the top three girls," said Kelly.
"They ran as hard as they could in
a difficult field of runners."
Carla Angelini and Dawn Doty
.
also gave strong performances, said
Kelly.
"lt
was a complete team effort,"
he said. "The girls continue to im-
prove and work hard every week."
The men's team also had success
in the Hunter Invitational.
Leading the way for the Marist
men was David Swift. The
sophomore finished the five-mile
course with a time of 27 minutes,
21 seconds, placing him thirteenth.
Swift, who ran the race with a
blister, drew praise from his coach.
"David ran a great race," said
Coach Pete Colaizzo. "Despite the
blister on his foot, he was able to
compete and finish with a good
time."
The next Marist runner across
the line was Marty Feeney. He
completed the course with a time
of 28:24.
Also running
a
solid race for the
Red Foxes were Chris Schmitz,
Jason Vianese, Matt Murphy,
Chris O'Keefe, Rob Johnson,
Brian Ordway
and
Eugene
Messmer.
.
Colaizzo said he was happy with
his team's performance.
"Our top five runners completed
the course in under
29
minutes,"
he said. "That is a good indicator
of the direction the program is
heading."
This weekend, the Red Foxes
will
travel to Syracuse to race in the Le-
Moyne Invitational.

The women's tennis team ran in-
to a much tougher Fairfield
University team on Monday and
the result wasn't pretty.
Fairfield defeated Marist 8-0 -
winning all but one match in
straight sets.
The lone bright spot for the Red
Foxes was number two singles
player Megan Flanagan. After los-
ing the first set 6-4, the senior even-
ed the match by taking the second
set 7-6 (7-4).
However, Flanagan suffered a
setback in the early action of the
third set. A broken string on her
racket forced her to reach for her
backup racket. After that, she was

In doubles play, Marist was
simply overmatched.
The tandem of Bacigalupo and

Heather LaPier were beaten 8-1.
Head Coach Terry Jackrel said
despite the score, the team did not
play poorly.
"We played tough," she said.
"The matches were closer than the
scores may indicate."
The loss drops the Red Foxes to
1-4. Fairfield improves to 4-1.
"We have had some very tough
matches and we hope to collect
some wins soon," Jackrel said.
"We have improved to where we
were last year, but we still need
some wins so the girls can have
some confidence when we go into
the Northeast Conference tourna-
ment."
Marist hosted Russell Sage
yesterday.

by
MIKE O'FARRELL
Sports Editor
The football team will
fry
to keep its Atlantic Collegiate Football Con-
ference winning streak alive when it hosts St. John Fisher College this
Saturday.
Dating back to the 1989 season, Marist, the defending ACFC cham-
pion, has won seven consecutive conference games.
Last year, the Red Foxes opened the season with a 17-7 victory over
St. John Fisher.
The results this year could.be somewhat lopsided. St. John Fisher has
been outscored 103-0 in its last two games.
Last Saturday, Marist extended its streak with a 46-21 win over
Gallaudet University. The 46 point outburst establishes a new school
record for most points in a game.
Statistically, the Red Foxes dominated the game. Marist ran 75 offen-
sive plays compared to 56 for Gallaudet.
The Red Foxes gained 458 total yards of offense. The Bison tallied
251 yards of total offense -
208 yards coming in the air.
Leading the offensive attack once again was tailback Donald D' Aiuto.
The sophomore sensation tallied 154 yards on 23 carries while scoring
one touchdown.
Leading just 12-7 at halftime, Marist broke the game open in the se-
cond half, outscoring Gallaudet 34-14 in the final 30 minutes of play.
The big second-half score came with just 1 :34 left in the third quarter.
With his team leading
18-13,
Marist quarterback Brian Mccourt con-
nected with Mike Bello on a 25-yard touchdown strike.
In the final period, Marist sealed the victory with two touchdowns in
a 19 second span.
After a 15-yard touchdown run by Kyle Carraro - his second of the
game - Gallaudet tried
to
strike quick through the air. However, Marist
defensive back Kevin Simonetty picked off a pass and returned it 26 yards
for a touchdown.
Sophomore Julian Wyse also tallied two touchdowns and D' Aiuto add-
ed the other Red Fox score.

by
TED HOLMLUND
Staff Writer •
The men's-soccer team lost its
fourth consecutive one-goal
game Saturday to Adelphi

1-0 decision. Adelphi's Greg

the first half.
Marist was outshot 22-9.
Freshman goalkeeper Matt

the Red Foxes, bringing his
season save total 48.
· Head Coach Dr. Howard
Goldman said he has been
pleased with Palmer's overall
performance.
"Matt had another good
game," he said. "He has been
consistent in the net for us all
season."
Despite the loss, Goldman
said he was pleased with his
team's play.
"It was
a
good game," he
said. "It was a fluke goal that
' just bobbled in. We played well
defensively,
but I
would have
liked us to be a little more alert
offensively."
Senior Glenn Mcsweeney,
junior
Lou Schmidt
arid
freshman Howard Laird chip-
ped in with solid defensive per-
formances, Goldman said.
Goldman said his team was
very competitive against a
highly regarded Adelphi squad.
"Adelphi is ranked number

Recruited out of Long Meadow
High School in Long Meadow,
Mass. by Pace, C. W. Post and
Marist, Sylvia chose Marist because
she ''thought

"I wanted to play Division I, I

and the competition wo~ld be the

Currently, Sylvia faces the task
