holding open her robe and exposing herself
to Pacino for what seems like forever to her,
but in reality is only 15 seconds.
• Another problem with the romance bet-
ween the two leads is that, at times, it is made
' far too sweet, to the point of ridiculousness.
In one scene where Pacino and Pfeiffer first
kiss, they do so in front of a flower truck
which suddenly opens and we are inundated
with the symbolism of hundreds of colorful
flowers while they continue to kiss.

The many supporting players; aside from
Elizondo, in "Frankie and Johnny" are well
done. The two actresses who play' Pfeiffer's
waitress friends at the cafe are excellent.
Both put in outstanding performances.
Equally good is the actor who plays Pfeif-
fer's gay neighbor. Aside from Elizondo he
is the funniest supporting player in the film.
The script for "Frankie and Johnny" is witty
and intelligent and makes telling comments
about New York and the New York lifestyle.
The film, an adaptation of an off-
broadway play, tells the story of a bittersweet
New York romance between a plain, cafe
waitress played by Pfeiffer and an ex-con
turned cook played by Pacino.
Elizondo is no stranger to Marshall as he
has appeared in two of his big hits, "Pretty
Woman" and "The Flamingo Kid." He had
superlative performances in both and does
not disappoint in "Frankie and Johnny."
Elizondo speaks in believable broken English
and has some priceless lines in the film.
Al Pacino, who has been floating around
Hollywood forever, is good playing the self-
confident Johnny. In the beginning of the
film Johnny is just getting out of prison
where he was incarcerated for forgery. He
goes to New York where he lands a job as
a short-order cook. Pacino is at his best in
these opening scenes slowly developing his
character. He handles his romance with
Pfeiffer well too.
Pfeiffer and Pacino's scenes together
range from tender to heartbreaking to
hilarious. Their best scenes together occur
when they are alone. The best and funniest
sequence of the movie occurs when Pacino
and Pfeiffer decide to go to bed together for
the first time.
The intimate scenes between Pacino and
Pfeiffer are also handled well by Marshall.

The Marist College Council on

The play can be a student version
of a traditional child's classic or an
original script written by the stu-
dent, according to Gerard Cox,
faculty advisor for MCCT A.
Although the executive board
has not yet received any scripts,
some people are currently working
toward
the
mid-November
deadline, according to Maria

tion is a full-length play which runs

In addition to the search for
children's theater playwrights, the
group is also looking for student-
written one-act plays conveying one
theme.
Cox said he will choose which
plays to perform in conjunction
with the students in his spring
semester theater workshop class,
who are the actors in these annual
productions.
"The students should keep it

to reject a play simply because it is

Staff Writer
T~ree Dutchess County activists
received the Marist College Presi-
d~nt's Award for Community Ser-
vice on October 17 at the 25th an-

To test their negotiation techni-
ques and mastery of a foriegn
language, Marist's political science
and Spanish students are par-
ticipating in an International Com-
•
munication Negotiation Simulation
game.
The ICONS Project, designed by
the University of Maryland, en-
courages students to pursue a
greater understanding of global
issues and international com-
munication, according to Spanish
professor Inna Casey.
Casey, along with Dr. Vernon
Vavrina, political science instruc-
tor and Brother Joseph Belanger,
professor of French, initiated the
ICONS Project at Marist last year.
The students practiced the im-
mediate use of French and gained
insight on the political negotiation
process, said Belanger of last year's
Belgium simulation.
Mike Stec, a political science stu-
dent
•
who participated in the
Belgium ICONS Project, said the
simulation helped him to learn ef-
fective leadership and negotiation
techniques.
"There are certain strategies you
must master in order to· pass your
nation's proposal, otherwise your
country's problems may be ig-
nored," Stec said.
"It
will be much different this
year," said Vavrina, "because
~exico traditionally takes more of
an initiative in proposing
·policies
than Belgium."
Students are learning in non-
traditional ways the importance of
global interdependence and inter-
national relations, Vavrina said.
"It goes against my instincts as
an instructor not to be in control
of the classroom setting, but in
ICONS, the students are responsi-
ble for the decision making and
content of the messages being
transmitted," he said.
Political science students outlin-
ed Mexico's status quo in a posi-
tion paper last week, Vavrina said.
The actual simulation period,
which began on Oct. 21, allows
Marist to assume the role of Mex-
ican officials and initiate public
policies which reflect the values,
opinions and attitudes of the Mex-
ican government.
The TELENET international
computer network, located in
Dyson, links Marist to colleges
located in New Jersey, New York,
Utah, District of Columbia,
Maryland and Utah and to foreign
countries
including
Canada,
Finland, Germany, Korea and
Panama, said Casey.
The simulation game requires
foreign language students to inter-
pret the messages sent to Marist
by.
participating schools and translate
all responses into Spanish.
Casey said she wants her Spanish
students to decipher between dif-
ferent shades of meaning in a
foreign language.
Experience
in
political transla-
tion is important said Lolita Lewis,
who majors in both Spanish and
communications arts.
"Mastering a foreign language
singles you out from other people
when it comes to finding a job after
college," Lewis said.
Nations represented in this year's
ICONS Project include: Brazil,
Colombia, Finland, France, Gers
many, Korea, Mexico, Peru,
u.s.s.R.,
U.S. and Zimbabwe.
The identity of the participating
schools and the countries they
represent is withheld until the pro-
ject is completed on Nov. 22, ac-

'Super seniors' in no rush to graduate on time
by
JENNIFER CHANDLER
Senior Editor
Bob Meindl said it's definitely not the
same, but he likes it.
"It's not so bad because I'm still friends
with the other soccer players; plus, I coach
girl's soccer and I've met more people that
way," said Meindl who is
a
senior from
Rockville Centre, N.Y., and
a
fonner
member of the Marist soccer team.
Meindl is one of nine seniors interviewed
who did not graduate with his class last May
because he transferred to Marist second
~ester of his freshman year from Roanoke
C~flege in Virginia.
;these
fifth-year students, commonly refer-
red to
as·supef
seniors, agreed that while they
do enjoy college life, they are ready to
graduate and move on.
All of these seniors live together off
cam-
pus either in Canterbury Garden or Union
Bend Apartments and said they were glad
they had each other because
they
don't know
as many people when they go to the bars.
"Last year at the bars, you'd stumble in-
to someone you wouldn't mind talking to;
now, you bump into someone and you don't
know them, so you keep walking," said Tim
Finegan, a
senior from
Rockville Centre,
N.Y.,
who took the fallsemesterofhissenior
year off because of extenuating cir-
cumstances which interfered with his
attendance.
Steve Soldo, a senior from Brentwood,
N.Y.,
said
the bars were more fun when he
knew everyone last year.
Soldo didn't graduate on time because he
lost a lot of credits second semester of his
sophomore year and changed his major from
marketing to communications.
According to Glenn McSweeney, a senior
from Westfield, N.J., although a lot of his
friends aren't here anymore, the bar scene
hasn't changed.
"I'm kind of burnt-out; how many times
can you go to Renaissance?"
asked
McSweeney. "We have more fun hanging
out together at our house and then maybe
we go out."
McSweeney didn't graduate in May
because he took off the fall semester of his
senior year also due to extenuating cir-
cumstances and worked at home for an
advertising agency.
We still go to the bars often, but there's
not too many familiar faces, said Brian
Mulry, a senior from Plainview, N.Y. who
took off the second semester of his junior
year, took three classes at the New York In-
stitute of Technology and raced motorcycles.
Most of these seniors said they didn't mind
staying another semester at Marist because
the job market was so bad and it gave them
more time to avoid the responsibility that
goes .ilong with being a college graduate.
"All last summer everyone was worrying
about getting a job and it was great to know
I didn't have to worry because I was going
back to school," said McSweeney. "Look-
ing at where the class
('91)
is now and all the
trouble they're having, now we might get a
jump on everyone in the class of '92."
Michael Cerielfo, a senior from Roslyn
Heights, N.Y., said college is a vacation
compared to actually working.
"There is nothing negative about college
life, that's for sure," said Ceriello who didn't
graduate last May because he was sick his
sophomore year and took a semester off.
This
is
the last time in life students will ever
have so much freedom; once they
start
work-
ing, time off is limited, said Steve McCauley,
a senior from Wyckoff, N.J.
McCauley didn't· graduate last May
because he declared his major of com-
munications and minor in psychology one
year late and couldn't
take
the required
courses in four years.
Jim McGee,
a
senior from Syosset, N. Y.,
said although it definitely hasn't been tor-
ture going to Marist for an extra semester,
he felt like he'd been in Poughkeepsie
forever.
McGee didn't graduate on time because he
also took off the fall semester of his senior
year and worked in a bank at home.
When asked what advice these seniors
would give to other Marist students, they
stressed the importance of doing internships
and getting involved with class activities.
Meindl said it was important to do an in-
ternship and gain experience in the student's
major field.
"Do_an in~ernship in a

graduates in January.
Soldo said students should get more in-
volved with their class because they
might
have more fun.
Eric Richards, a senior from Torrington,
Conn., who didn't graduate in May because
he declared ~is English major too late, said
he agreed with Soldo.
"Reality hits hard and once you have that
diploma in your hand, you gotta
be
lookin'
the other way," said Richards.

MARY-CAY PROVOST
Staff Writer
Along with this winter season
comes
snow,
sleet,
cold
temperatures and - the blues!
The fashionable fabric this
winter is denim, according to Car-
mine Porcelli, director_ of the
Fashion Program at Marist.
'
''Denim is the fabric of the
year," said Porcelli. "Denim has
reached the highest point; it can be
sold up to $2,000 in an outfit, and
designers like Ralph Lauren, Bill
-
Blass and Calvin Klein are putting
it in their latest fashions."
Porcelli mentioned that students
don't need to pay
$JOO
for a pair
of jeans to be in style. He said the
best quality of denim can be found
right here in Poughkeepsie -
at
The Gap, a clothing store located
in The Poughkeepsie Galleria and
South Hills Mall, where a pair of
jeans costs about $35.
Porcelli said: "The young
designers for The Gap are great.
They are meeting the needs of the
young consumer and they are pro-
ducing a good-quality product."
In keeping with the latest styles,
a denim shirt, accessorized with
many strands of pearls, is on
display in the front window of the
Fashion Department.
"Denim is great," said Porcelli.
"It
is no longer for the outdoors.
Denim is coming inside and getting
dressed-up."
"Denim has been around for a
1,000
years; being a classic fabric,
it is being reinvented
with
everything the designers are doing
with it," said Porcelli.
For those who don't like denim
but are longing to get into the
fashion scene -
relax.
Porcelli also mentioned that
plaid is on its way in many different
styles - from tights to blouses for
the young woman, and pants to
shirts for the young man.
Porcelli said that on the whole,
Marist students aren't all that
fashionably aware, but he has seen
improvements in this past year.
"The men on
campus seem
more
pulled-together this year than in
past years," he said.
He also said that women's
fashions this season are fitted to the
body.
"The designers are aware that
women work hard at their bodies,
and the style this season is definite-
ly shapely," Porcelli said.
"Women need choices in their
wardrobe these days," he added.
"Designers used to be able to dic-
tate what the woman of today
should wear, but not any longer.
Women wear what is most comfor-
table, and for some it may be short
skirts, for others it may be long."
According to Porcelli, people
buy clothes that they feel comfor-
table in and make them feel good
about themselves, so they are temp-
ted to stay within those limits.
"It's nice to be trendy, but it's
not all that good," he said. "Peo-
ple should be able to acquire more
than just one look."

Activities Office
is
doing
th~ best
it can with what they have
to
work
with.
"It doesn't make sense, the
number
of
clubs
pooling
out of the
Activities Office -
they're over-
burdened," said Morgan.
Lynch
agreed that the Activities
Office is very busy
and said he'd
like to see a student union building

where
clubs
can
have
more space
io
meet.
"The problem is that WMCR
has outgrown it's
space -
I'd love
to give them
greater
space, but
where?" asked
Lynch.
One other problem
mentioned
by Morgan is that in order to make
long distance calls for
WMCR
business, they must seek out Lynch
or Steve Sansola, assistant dean for
housing and activities.
Lynch and Sansola have an ac-
cess code -
a number entered
before dialing that bills the ap-
propriate party -
which allows
clubs to make long-distance calls.
Yet, Morgan said, this system is
<>ften tough to use because it re-
quires clubs·to seek out Lynch or
Sansola - and they have enough
work to do already.
Kraig DeMatteis; program direc-
tor
-
for
WMCR,
agreed with
Morgan's assessment that this is a
problem
because
sometimes
students end up paying for the call
themselves.
.
.
Lynch said so far
-
this year
nobody from the radio station h~
come to see him to use a long-
distance access code.
Morgan said the problem most
clubs face is bureaucracy - which
makes even the smallest of pro-
blems impossible to be solved.
"When we try to get problems
solved, they say it's the system "
-
,said
Morgan.
"It's
like hitting' a
stone wall."
"They
think
this
is
bureaucracy?"
asked Lynch.
"Wait 'till they have to file with the
IRS."

Marist students taught

For the past few weeks the direc-
tor and coordinator of the Securi-

members of the Marist communi-
"ty about how to prevent sexual
assault and physical abuse.
The S.E.T.T. programs held the

The day after tomorrow, the group of men and women who most control _

For students, this should elicit shrieks of joy as visions of "college life" five
miles away from the actual college (Canterbury) se~m like less of a reality.
Yet, with a new dorm comes more students who live on campus. And With
more students living on campus, there will be an increase in the number of
students wanting to participate in college clubs and club-sponsored activities.
Sounds like everything's going to work out just fine, right?
Wrong.
Because the current system of overseeing, regulating and just helping clubs
out is outdated and overextended.
The Student Activities Office consists of a staff that's too small working in
space that's too small with too much to do.
This system is overloaded now. Do we really want to wait for it to short out?
Clubs are unhappy because very often there is no space available to meet in
or even have an office. Clubs are also unhappy because the Activities office
is
understaffed and overextended. Without the dedication of people like Steve
Sansola, Bob Lynch and Llnda Muhlfeld, the system wou\d have collapsed under
its own weight already.
But no matter how dedicated or how much effort the Activites office puts
forth, they are still forced to operate in an over-bureaucratic snarl which leaves
clubs and the students who make up these clubs, frustrated and angry.
So what's the solution'?
A new student center incorporated into the new dorm would give some of
the 60 clubs on campus room to grow. It would also give the Activities office
enough space to handle the growing tasks involved with handling clubs.
The college should also hire more professionals to assist in the development
of the club system. Three or four people is not enough.
Granted, this means more money. Something that's difficult to justify ~ven
the financial dilemmas higher education faces today. But while a new domutory
on campus can provide the opportunity for college ~f e on ~pus,
a
new stu-
dent center and upgrading the club system would improve 1t.
In conscience
Just checking the calendar on the wall isn't always enough to tell you that
times have changed.
Thirty years ago, for instance, when 1959 became 1960, things stayed pretty
much the same. It wasn't until three years later, Nov. 22, 1963 to be exact,
that the children who grew up with the "Father Knows Best" attitude began
a decade of rebellion with chants of "Make love, not war."
Today, although it's not quite as dramatic as 30 years ago, times are chang-
ing again. The "Me" generation has found its conscience and the Yuppies who
were the envy of every MBA candidate
in
the 1980s are now the butt of every
joke in the 1990s.
Let's face it: giving is in, greed is out; caring is in, corporate raiding is out;
majoring in environmental science is definitely in, while majoring in investment
banking is certainly out.
Along these lines of the re-emergence of social awareness in the 90s, are a
couple of programs taking place right here on the Marist cainpus.
United Way pledge cards have been submitted to all employees of the col-
lege. This program, which is performed every year, asks for donations to fund
agencies that perform necessary social services in Dutchess County.
Did you know there were 3,700 reported
instances
of child abuse in this county
last year? This tragic number doesn't even take into account the 10,000 or more
cases
that weren't reported.
The money donated through the United Way goes to fund a Dutchess Coun-
ty task force for the prevention of child abuse.
Pledge cards are due Nov.
5. Donors can make a cash gift or give through
payroll deduction.
Speaking of donors, Sigma Phi Epsilon is sponsoring its annual blood drive
on Nov. 21.
Collecting 130 pints of blood is this year's goal. This blood does not get sent
into storage in some refrigerator somewhere. Rather, it is processed and
used
very quickly after being donated.
Unfonunately, unfounded rumors of AIDS have contributed to there being
a shortage of blood.
As
a result, the
13-0
pints that is the goal for the Marist community is not
for some future emergency or natural disaster -
it's needed desperately for
today.

Court confirmation
provides comic relief
by
MARK MARBLE
Back in September, I wrote a little piece
on the nomination of CLarence Thomas to
the United States Supreme Court. That col-
umn focused on the politicalization of the
nomination process. Of course, that column
was written way before anybody heard of
Anita Hill. With Clarence "Long Dong"
Thomas now a Supreme Court Justice, as of
last week, a look back might be in order.
During the Clarence Thomas-Anita Hill
fiasco, the Senate Judiciary Committee
helped bring comic relief to Washington. The
commi\tee looked more like
a
"Welcome
Back, Kotter'' reunion show than an impor-
tant demonstration of America democracy
at work. We had Joe Biden, the Chairman,
trying to save face throughout the weekend
hearings because he didn't investigate or
follow up on Hill's accusations as well as he
should have.
Defending Mr. Thomas, and butchering
Anita Hill, we had "The Three Amigos":
Orrin Hatch, Arlen Specter, and Alan
"Bart" Simpson. Their mission was to de-
fend the honor of Thomas, and George
Bush, by doing everything possible to make
Anita Hill look like a love-starved, vindic-
tive woman who only wanted to get back at
Thomas for rejecting her, or something to
that effect.
But of course it takes two to tango, and
the Democrats were not any better during·
this process. Most of the Democrats on the
committee were also members of another
party: the sore loser party.
During the initial hearings, these Senators,
such as Howard Metzenbaum and Pat Leahy
(not the kicker forthe Jets, even though he
probably could do a better job), tried to
discredit Clarence Thomas and block his
nomination.
Once it became apparent that Thomas had
enough votes to be confirmed on the Senate
floor, then someone from somebody's staff
leaked the Anita Hill story to the press.
There's nothing like good sportsmanship:
After all, this was the kind of story that could
work. Just the rumor of sexual harassment
would tend to polarize women against the
nomination. It was a great strategic move.
Smart, but sleazy. You
see,
Democrats could
learn something from the Republicans.
There are certain things that stand out in
my mind about the hearings. Both Hill and
Thomas carried themselves well. It was tough
to figure out who was being the most
truthful. I enjoyed listening to every Senator
state that he or his staff did not leak the story
to the press.
Sure, I believe you, Senator. Maybe
Clarence did it himself, just for the publici-
ty. It was real interesting to watch Orrin
I
Hatch say "Long Dong Silver" every three
minutes (must be a fan). It was even more
int<!resting to watch Ted "I better not say
anything because I party with my pants
. down" Kennedy just sit and watch the whole
thing. Be honest. You can just picture Ted
and Mr. Silver hanging out (no pun intend-
ed) at the Kennedy Compound, throwing
down scotches and chasing after co-eds. Ted-
dy was smart to keep a low profile. I also
like the way the final vote reminded me of
watching a football game. "And a final in
from Washington, Clarence Thomas, 52,
Anita Hill, 48."
The worst thing to come out of this hear-
ing is yet another citizen movement to limit
the number of terms for Senators and Con-
gressmen. This is the wro~g solution to the
problem. Any term limit for any office takes
away some freedom from the voters.
Sure, many Senators are over-the-hill
geezers who should be put out to pasture.
And sure, there are more things bouncing at
the House bank than at a Knicks game.
The answer is simple. If you don't like the
incumbent, then vote against him. People
who want term limits are basically asking to
be protected from themselves. They are say-
ing to the American people that we know you
can't make the proper choice so we'll make
it for you. Is that what we really want?

THE EDITOR

Bart or Brandon
Editor:
The article "Battle of the Stars:
Bart vs. Brandon" is completely
absurd. "Who is television's top-
dog at Marist College?"
You say it's a "tough question."
The only reason you cannot render
a decision is because you have
neglected to include the show that
beats out Brandon and the whole
"Beverly Hills 90210" brat-pack
each week.
I can agree that "The Simpsons"
is a popular and highly watched
show., but when you imply that
people who have a choice on
Thursday evenings are going to
pick 90210 -
I cringe.
Next Thursday night, please stop
your television dial at NBC instead
of FOX, not because I ask, but for
yourself. I would hope that you can
relate better to a group of bar room
buddies socializing than a bunch of
of overage high school students
pondering over whether to use
mousse or hairspray.

thought was the best costume ever.
For four years, I dressed as a
princess. Looking back, I think it
was because I could wear my pink
nightgown with the sequins outside
for everyone to see. The very first
Halloween that I dressed up, I was
three and my brother was two.
Mom cut a hole in the tops of two
pillowcases and I became a sack of
cookies and my brother became a
sack of sugar.
This weekend, my housemates
and I were invited to a costume
party. Naturally, we didn't sit
down to decide what our costumes
would be until 8 p.m. Our result?
We were a rainbow. Each of us
wore a different color shirt and we
moved together -
in order (as
most girls at parties do.) As you
might have guessed, no one could
figure out our costume. We heard
a "traffic light," "primary col-
ors," "models for the Gap," and
"a bunch of chicks in jean shorts
sitting around drinking beer." The
last one was probably the closest.

in the
Reserved Officers Training Corps
extension center late last year.
The government offered ROTC
students four options: transfer to
ROTC regional headquarters at
Fordham University, compress
their last two years of training in-
to one year, commute to Fordham
ROTC classes each weekend dur-
ing the academic year, or quit the
program.
Marist seniors Matt Kruger and
Brian Timm and sophomore Ray
Mahoskey travel to Fordham's
program every Friday -
at their
own expense -
for ROTC
instruction.
"A small ROTC unit, such as
Marist's extension center, offered
individual attention, one-on-one
instruction, and produced excellent
leaders," said Kruger.
The ROTC program here was
one of the largest extension centers
in the Mid~Hudson region, and its
closing will have a domino effect
on other colleges and universities,
said Kruger.
"With the base of operations at
Marist College, we were more in-
volved in program planning, and
had constant contact with the of-
ficers in charge," said Timm.
"Now, we're basically left out of
evervthine.."
As seniors in the Fordham pro-
gram, Kruger and Timm teach less-
experienced ROTC cadets the
basics of army survival,
which
have
•
included Saturday classes on land
navigation and firing of the M-16
rifle.
Kruger and Timm, who bt•!h
receive ROTC scholarships to sub-
sidize educational costs at Marist,
agree that the ROTC program of-
fers exceUent management and
leadership experience.
"We're thrown into different
situations and forced to take
charge." said Timm.

Ladies' volleyball
second at Albany
by
ANDREW HOLMLUND
Staff Writer
The women's volleyball team will try to continue its winning ways
tonight when it entertains Fairleigh Dickinson University at 7 p.m. at
the James J. Mccann Recreation Center.
Last week, the Red Foxes came out on top in six of seven matches.
Marist's record now stands at 21-9.
Saturday, the Red Foxes grabbed a second-place finish in the Albany
Invitational Tournament.
Marist topped Nazareth 15-5, 15-1; Rutgers 15-0, 15-7; Skidmore 15-7,
15-11 and Union 15-8, 15-4.
In the final round, Marist fell to the host school, Albany, 15-17, 8-15.
Head Coach Ron Foster said he was pleased with the team's perfor-
mance in the tournament.
"I
thought the girls played a fine tournament," he said.
Freshman Tracy Boone paced the team in the tournament with 20 kills
while senior Karen Wiley slammed down 15.
Sophomore Moira Breen tallied 58 assists during the tournament.
Last Thursday, Marist defeated C.W. Post College by marks of 15-12,
9-15, 15-13, 13-15, 15-12.
Foster said he was happy with the results.
"It was just a tremendous team effort," said the first-year head coach.
"Everyone contributed to the victory."
In the match, Silenzi recorded
7
kills and seven blocks while Wiley
spiked down 10 kills.
Last Tuesday, Marist beat Iona 15-4, 15-2, 15-7. Again, Wiley paced
paced the squad with 7 kills and 2 aces.
Foster said he has been very pleased with the play of his Ione senior.
"Karen
has just been on a roll as of late," he said.
Foster said he is optimistic about the final three games of the season.
Foster resigns coaching post
Ron Foster resigned as women's
. volleyball head coach on Monday,
the athletic department announced.
The resignation will take effect
as soon as a replacement can be
found, said Gene Doris, director of
athletics.
"The search will start as soon as
possible," said Doris. "Ron has
said he ·will stay on and help out
with recruiting and other matters
after the season."
Doris said Foster cited time con-
straints as the major reason for his
resignation.
Foster took the job just days
before the first day of practice, said
Doris.
The original coach hired by
Marist had to back out at the last
minute leaving the team without a
coach, Doris said.
Foster did not return calls made
by The Circle.

Harriers nab third
at NEC tourney
by
BRIAN MARKHAM
Staff Writer
The cross country program had another successful weekend.
Both the men and women captured third place finishes in the Nor-
theast Conference Championships held at Robert Morris College last
Saturday.
Sophomore David Swift paced the men's attack. Named to the All-
Conference team, Swift completed the 5-mile course in 27 minutes, six
seconds.
Swift was the first non-Fairleigh Dickinson University runner to cross
the line. FDU took the first five places on its way to the championship.
Marty Feeney was the next Marist runner·across the line. The junior
finished seventeenth overall with a time of 28:33.
Also running well for the Red Foxes were Jason Vianese and Chris
O'Keefe, finishing with times of 29:14 and 29:16, respectively.
Head Coach Pete Colaizzo said he was pleased with the time of
O'Keefe, a freshman.
"That was his best time of the year," he said. "He really ran a great
race."
Brian Ordway and Matt Murphy also completed the course for the
Red Foxes. Ordway finished with a time of 30:00 while Murphy was just
one second behind.
"It
was
the
best
showing by this program in four years," said Colaizzo.
The women's team also finished in third place - three notches up from
last season's sixth place finish.
Jen VonSuskil once again led the Red Foxes attack. The junior com-
pleted the 3.1 mile course in sixth place overall with a time of 21:34.
Fellow junior Sarah Sheehan also tallied a top ten finish. Coming in
tenth place overall, Sheehan ran the race in 22:09.
Both VonSukil and Sheehan were named to the All-Conference team.
VonSuskil was also named to the All-Conference squad her•freshman
season.
Kristy Ryan, who got sick during the race, captured fourteenth place
overall. The junior ran a time of 22:48.

Success comes fro~, inside f o.r tailbac·k
by
_MIKE
0'F ARRELL
Sports Editor
Donald
D'
Aiuto only goes where
he is supposed to.
For the Marist. tailback, often
times it is the endzone,
"When the
.play
starts," said
D' Aiuto, "I just go where I am
supposed to go and look for
holes."
Only a sophomore, D' Aiuto has
already found his way into the
Marist record book.
D' Aiuto is already the all-time
leading rusher in Marist history
with 2,058 yards.
Currently ranked seventh in
Division III, D' Aiuto averages 146
yards per game. He has scored·
seven touchdowns in seven games
while passing the
1,000
yard
plateau for the second consecutive
year.
Despite his success, D' Aiuto
doesn't concern himself with
statistics.
"I just play one game at a time,"
he said. "The sta~ will take care
of themselves.
"I'm not out for myself,"
D'.Aiuto said.
"If
l
get 50. yards
and we
win
·the
game,
I'm
happy
-
it's
·a
team effon."
It was the "team effort" that led
D' Aiuto
•
to Poughkeepsie after
graduating
from Rome Free
Academy, locatoo.
in
Rome,.~- Y.
"Coach (Rick) Pardy. was. the
main reason why I chose Marist,''
the 20-year old said. "This is a pro-
gram on the rise and it is
a
family
here. The players care for each
other -
it wasn't like that
anywhere else."
Originally a receiver, D' Aiuto
was converted to tailback just three
years ago.
As a senior, he amassed more
than 1,500 yards on the way to be-
ing named All-State.
"We knew he was an outstan-
ding back," said Pardy. "He was
the best in New York."
Despite his high school success,
D' Aiuto said he did not have high
expectations when he came to
Marist.
"I
just came here to find a
spot," he said.
"I
thought
I
would
be just another freshman."
A quick,

runner,
D' Aiuto said his 5..:foot-8-inch
frame is helpful.
'•"I
can use my size to~iny advan-
tage,"
he said. "When
1
run inside,
I get lost in the pile."
"Donny-~
defiajtely_use it·as
an advantage," Pardy said. "He
hits the whole so quick there really
isn't a big target for the defense to
hit. I think people missed the boat
on his size."
•
D' Aiuto said he would not have
the statistics he has if it weren't for
his teammates.
"Our offensive line is tremen-
dous," he said. "They open the
first whole and the receivers have
been doing a great job for me down
field. Without them, I wouldn't be
here. I am just another running.
back that gets lots of breaks."
Another ingredient in D'Aiuto's
success has been weight training.
"I
hit the weights a lot harder
before this year," he said. "They
have really made an impact. I am
stronger and heavier -
but I am
also faster."
Pardy said D' Aiuto· is a better
runner this year and weight
training has really helped. He has
come into his own as a tailback and
is far better now than he was last
year, he said.
"Donny is just a·. tremendous
work~r -
he is motivated," said
Pardy. "That is why he is
a
good
football player."
Despite his success to date,
D' Aiuto admits he is never satisfied
with his performance.
"I always want to get better," he
said.
"I
want to further myself
from the game or the year before.
"Sometimes I put so much
pressure on myself that I get down
on myself," he said. "I just
try
and
prove my worth."
One aspect D'Aiuto said he
needs to improve is his ability to
"see the field."
"The more I play, the more I see
the entire field," he said.
"I
never
look at the whole I am going to and
once I hit it, I go with my instincts.
I am always looking for a cut."

Red Foxes
lose again;
streak hits 8
by
TED· HOLMLUND
Staff Writer
Struggling to put opponents
away all season, the men's soccer
team remains winless in its last
eight games.
Last Saturday, the Red Foxes
dropped a 2-0 decision to Fairleigh
Dickinson University.
Head Coach Howard Goldman
said his team had its chances to win
the game.
"It was our game to win or
lose," he said. "We're getting our
opportunities. We're just not put-
ting them away."
Marist was defeated by Long
Island University, 2-1.
Junior Greg Avgerakis scored
the lone goal for the Red Foxes on
an assist by senior Jim McGee. It
was Avgerakis's first goal of the
season.
The Red Foxes dropped a 5-0
decision at the hands of Fairfield
University.
Goldman said he was not pleas-
ed with his team's performance.
u/t was ourgame to win
or lose. We.,re getting op-
portunities. We,rejust not
putting them away. ,,
"It was the worst game we
played this .. year," he said. "We
didn't do anything right."
Goldman said his team has
been
very competitive all year, but has
been failing to cash in on scoring
opportunities;
"By and large, we are not play-
ing bad soccer," he said. "The
games are there for us for the tak-
ing, but we are not putting them
away.
"It's annoying when we're play-
.
ing well and can't win," he said.
"We seem to be snakebit."
The Red Foxes now have an
overall record of 3-11-2 while
posting a
2~s
mark in. Northeast
Conference play.
Yesterday, Marist took on
Manhattan College. Results were
not available at press time.
Saturday, the Red Foxes will
host Colgate in their home firiale.
Marist will play its final game
Noy.
S
against St. John's.
When it comes to predictions, count me out
The World Series proved many
things.
Perhaps the greatest Fall Oassic
of all time, the Atlanta-Minnesota
confrontation proved you can
never count a last-place team out
-
except for maybe Oeveland.
The match-up proved baseball
truly is "America's Pastime."
The Series was a conversation
piece.
Be it the "Tomahawk Chop" or
the "Homer Hanky," everyone
knew what was happening.
More importantly, the World
Series proved I should never go to
Las Vegas.
A few weeks ago, I told you
Atlanta will win the Series because
it plays outdoors and on natural
~
way the Series went, if the
Braves had four games at home,
they would have won.
AJtbougb
my
reasons
for
wishing
Atlanta victory would only
make a
baseball
purist happy, the fact '!'at
MinnesOf.awonprovedonetbing
-
I was wrong. Again.
When it comes to predicting
things, the only thing I usually get
right is the obvious -
i.e.
the sun
rising in the east every day.
My history of poor predictions
dates back to last year's World
Series between Oakland and
Cincinnati.
You see, I thought the Athletics
were in the midst of forming a
dynasty.
With Lou Pinella at the helm, I
still have a problem accepting the
Reds
as former world champions.
When the Reds
captured
the first
game last year, I wrote, "Winning
game one was the worst thing that
could happen to the Cincinnati
Reds." You would be amazed at
how many times I am reminded of
that statement.
OK, I
was
wrong, I admit it.
Forget the Reds, now I am going
to hear about the Braves.
Basically, my problem centers
around baseball - which just hap-
pens
to
be my favorite spon.
Maybe
I don't know as much
as
I
think I
do.
Think
again.
For his efforts, Lefebvre was
fired and I - along with others -
was left wondering why.

season.''
In forecasting this past season,
I also made some big-time
blunders.
Case in point: the Seattle
Mariners.
My theory in picking the
Mariners
was
a good one -
at
least
I thought it was. Oalcland was
finished and there was no clear-cut
dominating team.
I was
looking
for a sleeper, a
darlchorse. Therefore, Seattle.
I tabbed Seattle skipper Jim
Lefebvre as my Manager of the
Year.
Seeing
Seattle
put
together
its
best season in franchise history, I
thought I finally had made a cor-
rect prediction.
Shows you what I know.
Kelly is now the obvious choice
for Manager of the Year honors in
the American League. Oh well.
Over in the National League, my
choice in the East was - yes, I'll
admit it -
the Chicago Cubs.
wen,
at least I had enough
sense
to realize the Mets were going
nowhere.
I also thought the Dodgers
would be able to ward off any
threats in the West. Wrong again.
I think this disease of not being
able to make predictions
is
hereditary.
After all, it
was
my Mom that
told me UNL V would win the
NCAA championship.
However, I should have realized
she may be wrong when she cited
"undershirts" as the reason why
Jerry
Tarkanian's club would cap-
ture the crown.
Not thinking Kansas, Duke or
North Carolina could win anything
but a consolation prize, I figured
Mom had the right idea and
I
went
along with her.
The only correct prediction I
have made in recent memory
was
la.st year's
Heisman
Trophy
wmner.
That
was
such a runaway, a
2-year old could have made the
right call. Brigham Young's Ty
Detmer
was
the obvious choice.
Regardless, chalk
one
up for
me.
I never claimed to
be
good
at
making predictions -
and I cer-
tainly don't have a great record to
back me up -
but they've got to
stan going my way sooner or later.
Don't they?
