Debate team ranked

by
SUSANNE YANUSZ
Staff Writer
After being in existence for only
six years, the Marist Debate Team
is currently ranked first in the
nation.
Although the team has won
numerous championships
and
finished fifth in the nation last
year, this is the highest level of suc-
cess the team has achieved.
Jim Springston, the creator and
coach of the team since it was first
started in the fall of 1985, said, "I
have always wanted to be the best
in the nation." Springston said he
owes the success of the team to very
hard
working
and
devoted
students.
The students have been debating
aeainst schools with much larger
st°i:icfent
body's and larger budgets,
such as schools such as Cornell,
Columbia, and UCLA.
The team is composed of two
~roups: the ticket team which
travels to meets and the AAA, or
reserve, team.
Due to the cost of transportation
only about four people from the
traveling team go on the road every
weekend. During the past years,
members of the team have travel-
ed to such places as Ohio, Illinois,
and Texas.
When the meet is situated closer
to Marist, however, up to 12
members attend. Each meet usual-
ly lasts from two to three days.
In competitive debating, a new
topic or issue is debated each
semester. Past topics the team has
covered include third-party politics
and how it affects the presidency,
and increased restrictions on
handguns.
The topic of debate this semester
concerns whether or not colleges
and universities
have inap-
propriately altered educational
practices to address issues of race
or gender. Next semester's topic
~ill be chosen by Dec. IO.
This year, the captains of the
debate team are: Greg Maxim,
Tom Kavan, and Mary Ellen
Rozecki, each who have different
responsibilities.
Ka van's job,
primarily, is to train and teach the
freshmen. He said being on the
team takes up much of his time.
"Some months I spend more time
doing debate work than school
work."
There are 38 people on the
debate team this year, including
freshmen. Springston said the new
members are "by far the best group
of freshmen." He said they are
more easily coached and a delight
to work with.
Jo Anna Maldanis, a freshman
from Piscataway, N.J., said she
received a flier in the mail about the
team and was interested.
"I felt it was something new to
try and I went to debate camp and
fo~nd it to be a lot of fun," she

F or students, teaching
more than.just ABC's
by
MEGAN MCDONNELL
Senior Editor
While other Marist students read the classic literature of William
Shakespeare and Geoffrey Chaucer this semester, Karen Keating lined
her bookshelves with the works of Dr. Seuss.
"It will be hard to walk back into a classroom in January," said
Keating; a senior psychology/special education major from South Far-
-mingdale; -N.
Y.- "My
thoughts--have to go back to the college level,
whereas they've been at the second-grade leve~ for. the past four
mQ,11ths."
Keating is one of25 Marist students who reversed roles this"semester
by becoming a student-teacher to fulfill requirements for her education
degree.
"It's weird when the kids call me 'Miss Keating' because I don't feel
much older than they are," she said. "I still feel like a kid myself."
However, she doesn't seem like one when she speaks to her second
graders in Room
5
at Arlington Elementary School in Poughkeepsie.
"This is supposed to be 'quiet time,'" she tells the children as they
enter the classroom from the playground after lunch. "There's a key word
in there somewhere - what is it?"
"Quiet!" the class answers, in boisterous tones.
"Then why do I hear voices?" Keating asks.
The voices stop.
According to Keating, tactics like-these - called classroom manage-
ment practices -
are taught in preparatory classes in Marist's
psychology/special education curriculum.
•
The curriculum contains several psychology classes required by the state
for certification.
"We are shown how to arrange classroom activities to facilitate teaching
and learning," she said. "However, nothing I learned in special ed. clicked
until I experienced it in the classroom."
According to a study conducted in 1982 by psychologists Erickson and
Mohatt, "The most successful classroom managers are those-teachers
who seem to anticipate most accurately when misbehaviors are likely to
occur, and intervene early to prevent them."

Keating said she could sometimes see a potential problem

U2 breaks ground with new album.
by
Dana Buoniconti
With so much mediocrity in to-
day's rock music those bands that
can get away from the formula and
come up with something fresh, in
terms of musical approach or direc-
tion, are few and far between.
Some groups end up compromis-
ing their integrity and losing some
of their die-hard fans to do this.
Others, like U2, have been suc-
cessful at constantly coming up
with new sounds and exploring new
musical avenues while maintaining
a core audience.
It is no surprise then that their
new album, '' Achtung Baby,'' is a
gem.
One of the first things you will
notice about "Achtung,"
the
follow-up to the highly popular
"Rattle
and Hum,"
is its
moodiness.
U2's ability to create various
moods has always been one of their
strongest qualities. Most of the
mood present is dark, due in part
to the band's desire to mix into
their music bits of 70's glam-rock
and their decision to record the
album in both Berlin and Dublin,
giving the album its "urban" feel.
"Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild
Horses" and "Ultra Violet (Light
My Way)" will leave listeners
hooked.
Some of the songs have layered
keyboard textures which compli-
ment lead singer Bono's vocals,
The hypnotic song "Until The
End Of The World" features what

ollrney to capital allows group
to see political journalism at work
. by
JULIE MARTIN
Associate Editor
For some Marist students, a brief
exposure to the world of political
journalism in Washington D.C.
gave them a newfound respect for
the role of the media in politics
and, in the minds of at least two
students, solidified career goals.
Lee Miringoff, director of the
Marist Institute for Public Opi-
nion, and eight students made the
trip to Washington D.C .. last
month to observe some of the na-
tion's top political journalists in
their natural work environments.
The students met journalists
such
as:
Carl
Leubsdorf,
Washington Bureau chief of the
Dallas Morning News; Howard
Fineman, the chief political cor-
respondent for Newsweek; Jules
Witcover, syndicated columnist for
the Baltimore Sun; Robert Shogan,
political correspondent for the Los
Angelos Times and Tom Hannon,
political director for CNN in
Washington among others.
Miringoff said the purpose of the
trip was "to take students who
have an interest in politics and
journalism and to see how issues
develop in Washington and how
the nation's leaders think and do·
their job. The students interacted
on an informal basis with a
relatively small group of journalists
who all have strong influence in
their field."
April Amonica, a senior major-
ing in communications
and
political science, said she was im-
pressed with the openness of the
journalists.
"The best practice for a jour-
nalist is to learn from other jour-
nalists' work," said Amonica.
"These reporters really tried to
foster discussions with the students
and were very willing to answer our
questions."
Cari Oleskewicz, a sophomore
journalism major with a minor in
political science, said she felt the
media does not receive enough
recognition for their work.
"The reporters we talked to
work very hard. They have a dif-
ficult job and I think they do it
well," Oleskewicz said. "They real-
ly are underestimated by the
American public."
Both Amonica and Oleskewicz
said the trip confirmed what the
want to do after school.
"My career goals have been
solidified and seem even more ap-
pealing now that I have gotten to
experience it," said Amonica.
"I definitely see myself in
political
journalism,"
said
Oleskewicz. "Talking to these peo-
ple made it more exciting."
Caroline Jonah, a sophomore
journalism major with a minor in
political science, agreed with
Amonica saying the journalists
were at ease with the students.
"The reporters were very easy to
talk to and frankly decribed their
experiences to us," Jonah said.
"We always met them in a casual
setting like their offices."
Miringoff said he believed the
trip provided a good opportunity
for the students to "measure
classroom theories" and to decide
whether or not they want to con-
tinue their desire to pursue a career
in political .iournalism.
Although the trip was part of the
.
one-credit course "Journalists as
Authors,'' some students with on-
ly an interest in politics went also.
Miringoff summed up his view
of what the trip did saying, "this
experience humanized the jour-
nalists so that they became real
people to the students. l think the
students saw quality and it's good
to see that in order for them to set
their own sights."

Anderson.
Most freshmen are not ready to
take honors classes, but should be
offered a different type of program
which would work on their per-
sonal development, confidence-
building skills and relationship with
faculty, said Richard Atkins, in-
terim director of Core/Libera\
Studies.
Faculty,
students
and ad-
ministrators
agreed an inter-
disciplinary honors program is the
right choice for Marist,
but
disagreed on whether it should ex-
ist in the major or Core/Liberal
Studies and whether it should in-
clude freshmen,
according
to
inter-
views conducted by the Circle.
An interdisciplinary program
would integrate different courses
and teach how they relate to each
other.

•
Raymond Payne, a junior from
Northport,
N.Y.,
said he thought
more students would be interested
in a program if it was in the major.
"I
think this is something that
calls for a bit more maturity," said
Myers. "Some of the questions that
should be asked in the program call
for some type of grounding, and
our high. schools don't give you
those tools."
Although faculty said it was in
favor of an honors program in the
Core, some students said they felt
it should be in the major.
"People take Core because they
have to, not because they wani' to,"
said Payne.
However, Donna Berger, ex-
ecutive assistant to the vice presi-
dent of academic affairs, said she
thought people should have higher
expectations of freshmen.
The Academic Advisory Ad-Hoc
Committee on Honors is working
on an honors program proposal. If
the proposal is passed by the AAC
and the faculty in the spring, it may
be in place for fall 1992.
The AAC is a committee made
up of faculty, one student and one
administrator, which votes on
academic issues.
"I
think the Core is the heart of
your education and is supposed to
teach you to analyze and think and
problem-solve, especially in
a
Liberal Arts College," said Brother
Joseph Sacino, assistant professor
of business. "Having an honors

Most had mixed op1mons on

.
Thomas Goldpaugh, assistant
professor of English, said the
honors program shouldn't include
freshmen because they need time to
react with and be stimulated by dif-
ferent types of students before
determining
their
academic
potential.
An honors program could get
freshmen early on to look at the
world through different lenses, said
Berger.
"I'd like to see a University 101
course for freshmen that ac-
culturates them to the college ex-
perience which is crucial to suc-
cess," said Atkins.
"I
wouldn't
mind a small program for freshmen

program is too much."

Don Anderson, chairman for the
AAC, said he is optimistic about
allowing freshmen in the program
because an honors program has the
potential to be a reinforcing part of
their adjustment.
"A really gifted student can feel

whose academic needs are not be-

at Marist College sponsored a two-day voter
registration drive to attract new voters; y~t,
Amy Bedford, president of the club, said
"students looked at us like we were crazy-
like they had much more importan~ things
to do with their time."
The ~lub registered approximately 100 new
voters.
"Most students feel that political issues
don't directly effect their lives so they n_ever
even think about voting," Bedford said.
Marist is one of many higher learning in-
stitutions experiencing an increase in poli!ical
apathy on campus which is reflected nau~m-
wide in low voter-turnout at general election
polls.
,
According to the 1988 Census Bureau s
current population reports, overall voter-
turnout declined from 59.9 percent to 57.4
percent in the 1988 presidential election,
despite the additional 8.1 million new voters.
All age groups -
except those 65 ~nd
older - reported declines in

turnout according to the Census Bureau.
Forty

-eight percent of registered college
students between the ages of 18 and 24,
voted in'the 1988 election, said the report.
"A
sharp decline in voter participation
among the young corresponds to a tremen-
dous change in the political intensity of
young people," according to a
1990
surYey
conducted by the Times Mirror Center for
The People & Press.
Vincent Toscano, a professor of history,
said the mobility of our population, feelings
of powerlessness, the decline of the two-party
system and erosion of public confidence in
the political system are some reasons general
voter apathy exists.
Marist College is a "microcosm" of these
national characteristics,
according to
iheir political concerns.
"We're the future of the nation," said
Judicial Board Chairwoman, Mary Ellen
Rozecki.

"As we enter the working world as adults
and leave the safe haven of Marist College,
we must protect our interests," Rozecki said.

Students need to realize their vote impacts
not only policies today, but policies 25 to 35
years down the road, Myers said.
Mike Stec, a senior political scienc~ ma-
jor, said he didn't vote in the 1988 presiden-
tial election.
"I

"Kids don't think that thev should know

according to a Nov. 25. 1989 article in the

Fries.

Pearl Harbor attack
•
•
lives on 1n. memories
by
AARON D . .WARD
Staff Writer
Why remember?
Fifty years ago, on Dec. 7, I 941,
the Japanese bombed an American
naval base in Pearl Harbor and
brought World War II to the
doorstep of the United States.
Celebrating the anniversary of
the bombing of Pearl Harbor is
more than recognizing it as the
event that catapulted the United
States into WW 11, according to
Dr. Vincent Toscano, history
professor.
One must understand the kind of
impact Pearl Harbor had at drag-
ging America into the war, then
one will understand Pearl Harbor
was a "watershed" -
an ex-
perience
that
transformed
America, divided peoples' loyalties.
It made them question war and
forever changed how future
American presidents would view
the world politically and structure
their foreign policies, according to
Toscano.
Both Toscano and William
Olson, history professor, agreed
that Pearl Harbor was one of those
events that people remember exact-
ly where they were. what they were
wearing and what they were doing.
"Pearl Harbor is to my parent's
generation, what the assassination
of President John F. Kennedy was
to the baby boom generation - a
nowerful
emotional event oromi-
nent in memory and something
we
remember because it is special and
singularly significant," said Olson,
who was born in 1943, two years
after Pearl Harbor.
"We should remember the
events that resulted from Pearl
Harbor," according to Toscano
and Olson.
Japanese-Americans were forc-
ed into "relocation camps," under
Executive Order 9066 for the dura-
tion of the war - we should recall
the anti-Japanese sentiment and
reflect upon its injustice. Nothing
similar happened to German-
Americans or Italian-Americans,
according to Olson.
Americans questioned whether
Roosevelt used Pearl Harbor as an
excuse to go to war and wondered
how the Japanese could justify the
slaughter of American men accor-
ding to Toscano, who h~d two
uncles, who served in the marines
and one brother-in-law, who flew
16 successful bombing missions in
a B-17 airplane, before serving one
year in a German prisoner of war
camp, after his bomber was shot
down.
Women worked in factories and
did not want to return home, after
making their contributions to the
war. This began the feminist move-
ment, according to Toscano.
Most of the Presidents since the
end of WW II have been veterans,
who have seen firsthand the hor-
rors of war, accordimz to Toscano.
Perry Ellis, one of the world's
leading fashion designing com-
panies, will hold a party in New

some children walk in calmly and

"At the beginning
of my
student-teaching placement, it was
too hard to predict what was go-
ing to happen on one side of the
room while I taught a reading
group on the other," said Keating,
"but now I have no problem do-
ing this at all."

Another study by psychologist
J.S. Kounin in 1970 said that
teachers possessing "with-it-ness,"
a keen knowledge of what is going
on, quickly gained the respect of
the students.
- . Pam
Marras,
J(eating's
cooperating teacher - the instruc-
tor with whom she was assigned to
work at Arlington - said while the
children respond positively to a
good student-teacher, they also
take full advantage of one who
shows signs of weakness.
"The kids do respect me,"
Keating said, "but in both my
placements, they tested me to the
limits before I had full authority of
the classroom."
According to Keating, her first
assignment
this semester
at
Glenham Elementary School in
Beacon, N.Y., opened her eyes to
the differences between special-
education and regular elementary-
school students.
In the special-education class,
also called a self-contained
classroom, Keating assisted a
teachei who was responsible for
nine boys; all of whom were either
learning disabled or emotionally
disturbed.
"When these students made fun
of each other, 'Your mother is a
whore,' was not an uncommon
thing to say," said· Keating. "In
Arlington, which is a regular
classroom setting, the worst it gets
is, 'Ooh, you want to sit next to
Miss Keating!"'
Through their student-teaching
experience, Keating and her fellow
student-teachers have assumed the
responsibilities of professionals, ac-
cording to Dr. Janet Stivers, assis-
tant professor of special education.
"They are not getting just slices
of a real job, but a comprehensive
and complete picture of classroom
life,'' said Stivers.
Stivers places students in special-
education classrooms for seven .
weeks, and in an elementary-school
setting for another seven, creating
a 14-week semester.
The program runs only in the
fall, which enables the Stu.dent to
assist his or her cooperating teacher
from the first day of school.
According to Stivers, if a
student-teacher's first placement is
in an elementary first-grade
classroom, his
or
her second place-
ment would most likely be in a fifth
or sixth-grade special-education
class to vary the
experience.
Personalities of the student-
teacher, and his or her potential
cooperating
teacher are also
considered.
"If
a student-teacher is full of
ideas, we will place him or her with
a cooperating teacher who will give
the student latitude for trying new
things," said Stivers. "However, a
student who is unsure of his or her
abilities \\ill be placed with so-
meone who will take things more
slowly."
The
students in the program
receive teaching certificates in
elementary
education,
which
enable them to teach classes rang-
ing from nursery-school to sixth
grade.
They also receive special-
education certificates which allow •
them· to teach classes between
kindergarten and 12th grade after
assisting in a classroom made up of
disabled students.
A teaching-methods
course
precedes this full-time internship,
and prepares the student:teachers
to be tutors as well as responsible
adults, according to Stivers.
The students in the program are
required to obtain a 2. 7 grade point
average and three teacher recom-
mendations, to pass the National
Teacher's Examination, and to
complete 30 hours of. volunteer
fieldwork
in an elementary
classroom setting.
According to Keating, seeing the
students apply what she has taught
them makes her very happy.
While she said it wasn't difficult
to make the transition from college
student
to elementary-school
teacher, it's hard to apply what she
learned in the Marist classroom.
"I want to have fun with the
kids, but I have to be strict when
they forget their homework,'' she
said. "My responsibility to them is
to be their teacher -
not their
friend."
However, Albert Hollister, an
8-year-old student in Keating's
class, said she is both friend and
role model.
"She does neat stuff ~ith us, like
making place mats," he said. "We
learn just as much from her as we
do from Mrs. Marras.''

Opportunity isn't knocking
Job market still bleak
Recession forces many seniors

Staff Writer
University of Albany english ma-
jor Kelly ~unn wanted a job; a
month of Job hunting landed her
a job in the fashion industry - she
was lucky.
1:he newes! crop of college
semors are takmg a crash course in
resourcefulness.
"I touched upon many different
jobs in several different fields,"
said Dunn, describing her job hun-
ting efforts.
The recession has boosted
unemployment and slashed· cor-
porate recruiting, with visits to
some schools down 15 to 20 per-
cent, but there are jobs out there
for aggressive job seekers.
For many college graduates,
looking for a job is largely a mind
game -
you are ·the one who
defines the goal and how to get
there -
flexibility has to be a part
of the strategy.
"I know I did not have any ob-
vious career direction, that is
because I left my options open,"
said Dunn, "with the terrible state
of the economy, college grads with
little or no experience are com-
peting with older more qualified
canidates - options must be kept
open and fields must be diverse in
order to compete."
. It does not pay to try to glean
•
fields for the few available
positions.
"In the current job climate, new
graduates need to lower their ex-
pectations, particularly concerning
prestigious, high paying posi-
tions," according to Michigan
State University's survey of cor-
porate hiring practices.
In this year's survey, entry-level
salaries for bachelor's degree
holders average $26,413, an in-
crease of only a few hundred
dollars from 1990.
§caling down your ambitions
doesn't mean you can't make
smart, tactical choices.
"Your first job out of school
does not have to determine what
you will do for the rest of your life
- it will give you the opportunity
to earn money and to decide where
you might want to channel your
career efforts," said Dunn.
"You need to gain employment
first; you gain a promotion from
there," said L. Patrick Scheetz,
director of Collegiate Employment

Many graduates across the na-
tion are looking into graduate and
professional schools to get a com-
petitive edge or to pass the time un-
til the job market improves.
A rise in the number of Marist
students interested in attending
graduate school has put Marist in
the running with the national trend.
In the past two years, applica-
tions to master's and doctoral pro-
grams at institutions across the
country_ have increased 10 to 15
percent, said Peter Syverson, a
spokesman for the Council on
Graduate School, to "The Chroni-
cle of Higher Education."
In correlation with the national
trend, the number of Marist
students who have shown an in-
terest in graduate and professional
. schools has increased 27 percent
from 1990 to 1991, said Patricia
Beaman,
pre-professional
counselor at Marist.
However, this does not include
those interested in medical and law
schools.
Although the number of applica-
tions to medical and law school has
jumped on the national level
Marist has seen little change i~
those areas.
According to Dr. Joseph Betten-
court, professor of biology, the
number of Marist students in-
terested in going to medical school
has increased by five percent from
last year.
Bettencourt
also said that
although medical-school interests
have increased only slightly, the
number of applicants taking the
Graduate Record Examination
(GRE) in science has increased
significantly.
He attributes this to the fact that
students realize there is a' lack of
jobs, and they want to increase
their marketability.
"Most Marist graduates that
I
know are still out looking for a
job," said Katherine Morrison, a
21-year-old senior. "I'm looking
into graduate school because the
job market is terrible, and I realize
an master's degree will make me
more marketable."
Dr. Scott Myers, professor of
paralegal studies, said that he has
not seen a noticeable increase in the
amount of students looking into
law school.
"There has been a small but
steady rise in the past five years of
students interested in law school,
but no significant increase this
year," said Myers.
Dr. Louis Zuccarello, professor
of political science, said that he also
has not seen an increase in law
school applicants, but he has seen
an interest in the number
.of
students taking the GRE.
Most of the Marist students who
come to the pre-professional
counselor are looking at graduate
school in conjunction with their job
search,
according to Beaman.
When a student goes to Beaman
to discuss their options, she takes
the students through three stages.
Beaman said that the first thing
she looks for is the student's
self-assessment.
"I
want to make
sure
that the
student
knows whether or not
it's
a good career track for him/her
"
said Beaman.
'
Secondly, she wants to know
why the student wants to apply to
graduate school.
Lastly, Beaman helps students
through the entire process -
the
.school search, the applications, and
preparing for the GRE.

While Hanukkah has passed and
Christmas is 13 days away, some
may have started their shopping the
day· after Thanksgiving -
.also
known as "Black Friday."
,,.
Many shoppers may have-been
influenced by the media or stores
to start their shopping even earlier
than the traditional first day of
holiday hustling and bustling.
In fact, the holiday shopping
season officially began two weeks
early in the Poughkeepsie Galleria.
"We weren't supposed to turn
on our Christmas music or lights
until the Sunday before Thanksgiv-
ing, but because business was slow,
we turned them on two weeks
ahead of schedule," said Sherri
Tyrell, manager of Aeropostale, a
specialty clothing store in the mall.
Many stores in the Galleria were
decorated and playing Christmas
music before the Mall itself was
decorated. The stores really push
the merchandise before Thanksgiv-

for the holiday crunch.

fion, said: "The economy really
needed the added push. The adver-
tisements did seem early this year,
but with the economy the way it is,
I think it was a good idea."
Ryan also said that the media has
a lot to do with the way people
think about the holidays, since the
ads are on television as early as
November.
A Time magazine article said,
"Across America, retailers are try-
ing all sorts of stunts to get people
inside their stores between now
_
(October) and the holidays."
'"The
customers didn't seem to
mind when we started to play the
music," said Tyrell.
"ln
fact, it got
them to thinking
about
the
holidays."
Frederick's of Hollvwood did
not start their Christmas promo-
tionals until "Black Friday."
"We
didn't change our front
window until the Wednesday night
before Thanksgiving," said Halia
Zakoturia, assistant manager at the
lingerie store.
"We definitely have had more
lookers this season and I really
believe it is the economy which is
effecting
the sales,"
added
Zakoturia, who is also a senior at
Marist.
Ryan said that retailers shouldn't
have
any problems
getting
customers in their stores, but they
may have to give that extra push to
encourage purchases.

When business major Karen Bat-

broke 25 young hearts.
The kindergarten children she
worked with at the Warring
Magnet Academy gave her a party
and cried when she left.
"Raheem said that he would sell
all his soda cans so I could stay and
live in Poughkeepsie," recalls the
senior from Oxford, Conn., who
had met Raheem and the rest of his
kindergarten class as a volunteer in
the community service program.
Batza and many other students
who were· part of the program are
upset about the dismantling of the
community service program. Due
to budget cuts, the program was
eliminated, but Campus Ministry is
attempting bring it back for next
semester.
The program, which started in
January 1988, placed 45 students in
30 area organizations last semester.
At its height in the spring of 1990,
67 students were placed.
When the program began, there
were 12 students involved, all of
whom worked in public schools.

sometimes helps Marist students
decide on a career path. Working
at the Warring Magnet Academy
helped push Batza in the direction
of becoming a teacher.
"I
was allowed to work with the
children alone in the classroom,"
Baeza said. "It made me feel good,
seeing the smiles when I brought
things in like books and candy at
the holidays."
Baeza said that whenever she
would come back from a college
break, the children would always
run up to her, with a hug and a
kiss. "They always wanted to hold
my hand."
"Because the kids come from
homes with a lot of problems, they
need the individual attention,"
Batza said.
"We
could give them

"The community service pro-
gram is good because it lets college

Batza is not involved with the

ed next semester. Now there are on-
ly certain places where students can
volunteer.

"Volunteering at Clearwater

She said working there was a good
experience and taught her how to

Iversen said that the Clearwater

that organizations with a laid-

"The program is great," Iversen
said. "It gets students off campus

"I don't think the program

A few reasons why students can't stay awake
by
DOMINICK E. FONTANA
Staff Writer
The student stares at the per-
son_al computer screen in a hyp-
notic trance at 5:33 a.m., surround-
ed with humming fans circulating
air and buzzing printers at the Don-
nelly computer center. The student
has been awake for 25 hours and
sleep is on his mind.
Studies
have said human beings
students especially, are under much
pressure because work schedules
are heavy,
opportunities
to
socialize have increased and televi-
sion has become a major distrac-
tion therefore inhibiting an in-
dividual's need for sleep.
A recently estimated 70 million
Americans do not get a full night's
sleep,
which possibly could have
been the cause for more than
117,500 highway accidents, accor-
ding to the American Sleep
Disorders Association.
Humans fall into sleep-wake
cycles, or circadian rhythms, that
last between 24 to 28 hours.
The indicators of time such as:
alarm clocks, work and meal
schedules and the sun's position,
guide a person's regular 24-hour
cycle.
However, the average eight
hours sleep per night is not what
everyone gets or what everyone
needs.
"There are many people who
can get by on only four of five
hours of sleep because it is a part
of their biological clock and sleep-
ing habits," said Royce White, a
psychology professor who sees the
average sleep-schedule as based on
individual needs. "For example,
you would not have a person who
wears a size-six shoe wear a size-
eight or ten shoe."
Sleep scheduling is a problem
students face when their individual
sleeping needs are not met. One
may wake up early for an 8:15 a.m.
class one day and not get up until
12:30 p.m. the next day.
Sleeping late occurs on weekends
when busy students will 'catch up
on their sleep,'. Part of this pro-
cess is staying up late on Friday and
Saturday nights and sleeping later
during the day.
However, a student may resort
to 'pulling an all-nighter' during
the week because he has a paper
due the next day or because he on-
ly has the free time to do the
assignments at night.
Hobart Glenn Armstrong Ill
was at the Donnelly computer
center one night, stretching his
arms
and squinting his eyes at the
computer screen while he express-
ed his views about working into the
early hours of the morning.
"Only stupid people are awake
at this hour in the morning," said
Armstrong, typing the program for
one of his computer science classes
required for his major.
"I have always been a night per-
son; but I don't know why," Arm-
strong said, who goes to sleep at 2
a.m. on an average night. "I hated
going to sleep at 8 p.m. when my
parents told me to because the sun
was still up outside."
Armstrong is on the football
team and works at Marty's Bar on
Taft A venue Friday nights from 8
p.m. to 3 a.m., but said he has been
able to go to sleep for 12 hours at
a time to catch up on lost sleep.
Scientists have said if the normal
sleep-wake cycle changes within a
human, the internal cycle and
biological
functions
are also
changed.
The common symptom of 'Mon-
day morning blues' is waking up
early for an 8:15 a.m. class, but it
may be equivalent to 3:15 a.m. for
the biological clock, which makes
it more difficult to stay awake.

plaints of sluggishness and limp
eyelids, symptoms that can only be
improved if their regular schedule
is brought back.
"I
love to sleep but if
I
don't
have the time, I can generally get
by on four to five hours per night,"
said Kent Rinehart, a junior from
New Milford, Conn., who gets
eight or nine hours of sleep on the
weekends.
Rinehart said he goes to sleep
around 2 a.m. every night and gets
up at 7 a.m. since he has an 8:15
a.m. class everyday during the
week.

have been very busy this

tion and as an R.A.," Rinehart

The American Sleep Disorders
Association and sleep centers have
made a list of dos and don'ts to
sleep well and used a person who
sleeps six hours per night as a
model:
1. The person must sleep for six
hours starting from getting into bed
until getting out when the alarm
sounds (ie. 12 a.m. to 6 a.m.);
wake up and get out of bed at the
alarm.
2. Get into bed when one feels
sleepy, but if the person feels anx-
ious, do household chores like
cleaning or doing homework until
drowsiness occurs; do not read in
bed.

In the 1990-91 school year,
Marist's full-time undergraduate
attrition rate was 9,V, according to
statistics from the Office of Institu-
tional Research.
The remaining six percent
is
composed of four percent who left
Marist for personal reasons, and
two percent who were academical-
ly dismissed, according to the
statistics.
Marist is losing students who
transfer because they are not as
challenged, and an honors program
could be a way to hold onto
students
who want to excel, said
Burns.
Are you enthusiastic, positive and sincere about your experience here at
Marist? The Admissions Office would like your help! We're looking for
"MARIST AMBASSADORS",
students who are willing to return to
their high schools over Christmas break to speak with students, guidance
counselors and teachers about Marist. The
MARIST AMBASSADOR
PROGRAM
would include answering questions, handing out College
literature and, most importantly, sharing your Marist experience with
high school juniors and seniors.
Goldpaugh said the college needs

with over the years," said Cyndy.
Cyndy comes from an upper
middle-class family residing in a
wealthy suburb. Both of her
parents are extremely well educated
and professionally employed and
her sister is a straight A student.
On Thursday, December 12, there will be a table set up outside the
Financial Aid Office in Donnelly and on Friday, December 13 the table
will be in the breezeway of ChampagnetHall. You may pick up the Marist
Ambassador packets at either location. The next step is easy - just visit
your high school.
You can make a difference!
So stop by our tables in Donnelly or Champagnet or see Sean Kaylor in
the Admissions Office, Greystone, Monday through Friday, 9-5 to pick
up an Ambassador packet!
Cyndy said she has always
received pressure from her family
to do as well as they did in school
and be among
the best at
everything she ever does.
In high school Cyndy was in-
volved in many acfr,ities and sports
and maintained a B average.
"No matter what I did I still
didn't feel like I was good enough,
especially for my parents," said
Cyndy.
High status, successful parents,
tend to expect their children,
especially their daughters, to be
successful in all aspects of life while
remaining physically attractive, ac-
cording to a study done by the
American Journal of Psychiatry.

and do not exercise within two

regularly scheduled bedtime since
it can change a person's peak effi-

expected.

During the summer, Triner
charged four sets of concert tickets
for his friends. They paid him for
the

but he forgot what the
money was for and spent it.
"When the bill came, my parents
said, 'You have 30 days to come up

said
Triner.
Embarrassing stories seem to
surround
students
and their
credit-cards.
Dan Aunkst, a sophomore from
Averill Park, N.Y., is quick to
point out that with Christmas ap-
proaching, it is time for credit-card
encounters of the worst kind.
"My credit limit was raised just
in time for the holidays," said
-
Aunkst. "How convenient. After
all, 'tis the season to charge."
for the sake of learning, and
I
thin,,
we should foster that."
Although an honors program is
a good idea, it isn't feasible for
Marist's campus, said Brendan
O'Connell, a senior from Guilford,
Conn.
••I think everyone and their
brother would want
to
be in the
classes," said O'Connell. "There
would be too much of a demand
and not enough teachers to fill that
demand."
However, Anderson
said
he
disagrees.
"Not only do we have the facul-
ty, but I think we have the kind of
faculty that needs the rene,val that
an honors program would bring,"
said Anderson. "An honors pro-
gram shouldn't demand a lot of
resources. It can be modest and still
be effective."
"I don't think my parents meant
to put as much pressure on me as
they did in high school; I could see
that by the pain they showed when
I was placed in the hospital and we
went through family therapy," said
Cyndy.
Anorexics and bulimics feel
alone, insecure, weak and often
very depressed. In the case of
bulimia, the disorder tends to fill
an empty space in the patient's life
and serves as a friend and confi-
dant, according to the Journal of
College Student Psychotherapy.
Approximately 90'of most cases
of eating disorders are women,
although it is a problem for some
men, according to Lee.
Among males diagnosed with
eatin2 disorders. more are bulimic
than anorexic, according to Lee.
The counselin2 center acts as a
referral sen.ice for students who
need to undergo more intense pro-
f
es.sional treatment outside of the
college, said Fries.

Time to wake up
Is today's college student nothing
more than a creature of apathy
striving to be mediocre?
Less than 11 months from now, America will once again
be
going to the voting booths in the ultimate symbol of a
democracy at work -
the election of the President.
Sadly, according to the 1988 Census Bureau's Report, less
than half of this country's college students will choose to
participate.
As a point of fact, more college-age young adults age are
sexually active than are politically active. Now this com-
parison doesn't have a great deal of theoretical value, but
it is worth remembering.
.
..
Because now
a
majority of us sit b1lck and complain that·
George Bush was supposed to be the "education president."
But today it's harder than ever to secure an educational loan
to pay for college.
Even as we speak, legislators in this state are weighing
options which would help reduce a $1 billion tax revenue
shortfall. Knowing what you now know, (that less than half
•
the college students vote in Presidential elections and fewer
than that in local elections), who do you think these
legislators will think of first when cutting the budget?
Right, they'll think of us.
Why? Because we don't vote.
Why do programs like Medicare and Social. Security never
get touched during a financial crisis like this?
Because the elderly do vote.
Ask politicians what lobbying group they fear the most
and odds are they won't say the NRA or Teamsters, the
answer will be the AARP, the American Association of
Retired People.
Students, especially college students, understandably have
a tendency to immerse themselves in their own private world,
choosing to concentrate on internal rather than external
development.
Yet, there's a fine line between being self-absorbed and
being apathetic to the world around you.
Voting turnouts are proof of that. People older than 65,
in fact, constituted the only age group to see an increase
in turnout in the 1988 election.
Speaking of 1988, a question for Marist students: "Where
were you in November?"
If you voted, congratulations, you've earned the right to
complain and voice your opinion -
that's how the
American political process works.
If you didn't vote, congratulations too, you've earned
the right to shut up and have the policies and ideas of others
forced upon you.
For those of you who hold the notion that what goes on
in Washington D.C, Albany, N.Y. or any other state capital
is boring and irrelevant, and therefore unworthy of your
time, just do one thing.
Call up a friend or relative who graduated from college
in 1991.
Ask them one simple question: "What are you up to?"
Now
try
and tell yourself that your vote doesn't count.

'Twas the night
before elections
by
MARK MARBLE
As a Christmas present to our readers, The Circle has been able to get its hands ~n
something very special. We have been able to smuggle some n~w, never before seen m_atenal
from two of America's great writers: George Bush and Mano Cuomo. The followmg ex-
cerpts are from soon-to-be published anthologies of both writers' works.
Taken from "READ MY WORDS: The Collected Writings of George Bush."
'Twas the night before election, when all through the White House
Not
a
person was stirring, not me or my spouse,
The mud had been slung since the convention with care,
In hopes re-election soon would be there.
Dan Quayle was nestled all snug in his bed,
While visions of Nintendo danced in his head;
And Barbara in her nightgown and
I in the buff were praying the election would not be too rough.
When out on the front lawn there came such a crash,
Away to the window I flew like the Flash.
And what I saw did not make much sense:
A miniature sleigh and eight tiny elephants?
My mouth flew open and I started to whisper,
"Oh my God. I think it's the Gipper!"
The man with his team, the closer they came;
He whistled and shouted, and called them by name:
Now, Ollie! Now, Casey! Now, Baker and Regan!
On, Nancy! On, Ronny! On, Agnew and Nixon!
Well, let's move it fellas. Onward, let's mush!
We've got a IDC§Sage
for our ol'buddy Bush."
I turned from my bedroom and ran down the hall,
I
tripped
over Millie and slammed into the wall;
As I lifted my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney the Gipper came with a bound.
As he helped me up, I started to say
"What
brings you here, Ron? You've come a long way."
"George, I'm not here to visit, but to tell you:
Don't worry, my friend. This is your year, '92."
I grabbed
him
and hugged him. And he shouted with glee,
"Well, George. Go to bed. You'll win, you'll
see.
Do not tell anyone what you have seen.
And before I head home, here: Have a jellybean."
He rose up the chimney and I went back to bed,
I moved again to the window, and stuck out my head;
And I heard him exclaim
as
he drove out of sight,
"Four more years for George, and 1000 points of light,"
"The tragedy of Mario Cuomo, Governor of New York"
Taken from The Memoirs of Mario Cuomo,
Volume 45 of a 120 volume set.
To run or not to run, that
is
the question:
Whether 'tis wiser in the long run to suffer
The mud•slings and insults of angry Republicans,
or to take arms against a President in trouble,
And by opposing, end them. To think, to run -
To run, perchance to win - ay, that's the ticket.
The pangs of confusion, a decision's delay,
The insolence of the Highest Office, and the spurns
That politician unworthy of merit takes.
The time is now; The Choice is mine alone.
Finally, I must decide. Get me to a primary.
Mario's soliloquy was edited for the sake of mercy (it runs about four pages in original
form). As the campaign in the spring heats up, it is likely that more work will be released
for George and Mario's respecfr.-e libraries. When they are, you can be sure we'!\ publish
them.

New dorm part of long-term master plan
by
MARK SULLIVAN
I would like to compliment Julie Martin
on her informative article in the Nov. 21.
1991 issue of The Circle concerning Pro:
fessor Linda Dickerson's survey of student
preferences on future capital projects. It is
always helpful for administrators to hear
what is on the minds of our students whether
it be building projects, academic issues or
any aspect of the college's operation.
The article creates the impression that the
residence hall project is the target for a
governmental assistance grant from the New
York State Dormitory Authority. To the
contrary, the Dormitory Authority is simp-
ly a source of long-term loan capital through
the sale of tax exempt bonds.
debt must be financed through private sup-
port -
usually gifts and grants from alum-
ni, trustees and friends of the college. Some
foundation support is available for academic

There are a few comments I would like to
offer in response to some of the points made
in The Circle article.
Many existing residence halls at Marist
have been financed through the sale of such
bonds. It is the primary method by which
colleges and universities in New York
generate capital to build self-liquidating
buildings. The term "self-liquidating" means
the room fees paid by current and future
Marist students are pledged against the long-
term debt obligations attached to the sale of
the bonds.
With these differing financing scenarios,
The Board of Trustees has granted the ad-
ministration preliminary approval to proceed
with planning for the construction of a new
residence complex which will include both
mid-rise structures and townhouses.

21 Society criticizes article
Editor:
It appears that The Circle has
once again ignored the benefits of
a program at Marist, and has, in-
stead, chosen to create unnecessary
problems and deprive stude~ts of
the true and complete story.
We are referring to the article in
the Nov. 21, 1991 issue of The Cir-
cle, which stated that tl1e 21 Socie-
ty is violating state law by the
employment of a police officer.
Ii
is important to understand
that any police officer which the 21
Society employs has no duties in-
side the room where the 21 Society
is being held. The actual operation
of the 2
J
Society is monitored by
a resident director and Sr. Eileen
Halloran, the clubs' advisor.
As a matter of fact, if we had
directed the off-duty police officer
that either 19 or 25 was the
minimum age for admission, that
is who he would have admitted. In-
cidentallv, if vou had asked us or
the "oftfcer" 'named in the article,
you would have learned that he is
a Lieutenant v.ith 18 years of
decorated service
with
the Town of
Poughkeepsie Police Department.
The biggest loss here lies with the
students. First and foremost, the
students learned from and enjoyed
talking to a police officer about the
law. and the job of a police officer.
Secondly, one of the current op-
tions under consideration because
the 21 Society can longer employ
a police officer, is the banning of
guests. If this happens, who suffers
but your fellow students'?
The 21 Society also enhanced the
Town Police Departments' view of
Marist College students and they
enjoyed helping the 21 Society and
seeing students have a safe, en-
joyable time.
It is our belief that if we were to
attain a ruling on this matter from
the State Liquor Authority, the
issue would
be
ruled legal due to
the officers' capacity in the situa-
tion (This law was "'Titten to pre-
vent corruption of police officers
in the 1970s, it would not
be
ruled
applicable to Marist College.)
But, for the sake of the students,
the 21 Society, and especially the
police officer involved, we are go-
ing to make unnecessary changes.
Having read Rich Nass' response
to Dr. Goldman, we understand
the attitude that "news sells."
What The Circle staff must
remember, in the future, is that
your publication is given away, free
of charge.
Perhaps, in the future, The Cir-
cle could write a positive article
about
the 21 Society.
This
semester, the 21 Society, has been
extremely active, while ending on
a great note with the Molson
Golden Comedy Night, which was
attended by over 200 students.
We are currently looking for-
ward to, and planning for, the
Spring '92 semester. Have a safe
and happy holidav.

THE CIRCLE, DECEMBER
12,
1991
40's riot that led to parks closing remembered
by
VINCENT J. ZURLO
Staff Writer
In its heyday before World War
II, the Woodcliff Amusement Park
in
Poughkeepsie
attracted
thousands of people every weekend
of the summer, many of whom
travelled on steamboats up the
Hudson from New York City.
Woodcliff Park's facilities in-
cluded an olympic-sized swimming
pool, a roller rink, arcade, tunnel
of love, an inn where beer was serv-
ed, and the Blue Streak, the tallest
roller coaster in the country.
Today, Woodcliff
Park is
nothing but a memory for those
who were there, an historical foot-
note in the local history of
Poughkeepsie, and the site
where
Marist
college
built
its
Townhouses, Gartland Commons,
and north athletic fields. However
back rhen, Woodcliff Park was the
Great Adventure of its day.
For Catherine Runk, owner and
operator
of the park, business was
good.
Fifty years ago, people flock-
ed
to the park to relax and have
fun.
Then, one day in the summer of
'41,
something happened that
would change that.
On Sunday, Aug. IO, a riot
erupted at the park.
What began as a typical day at
the amusement park turned violent
by late afternoon in what The
Poughkeepsie Eagle-News
reported
as "the worst outbreak of trouble
in Dutchess County in many
years."
The park was reserved by two
groups that day, a Polish organiza-
tion of about 1,000 people and a
group of approximately 3,000
blacks associated with a lodge from
New York City.
The riot began around 3 p.m.,
shortly after several black men
entered the inn, which was reserv-
ed by the Polish Society. When one
of the men asked for a glass of beer
and
was denied, he accused the
_
bartender of discrimination, and
began
a
disturbance whose out-
come no one could foresee.
Deputy Sheriff Joseph Bloomer,
who was on duty in the park,
ordered the beer taps locked, but
was unable to calm the crowd that
gathered.
Soon, rocks and bottles were be-
ing thrown, beginning a ruckus that

tacked by a man with a hatchet.
In
a
recent telephone interview
with The Circle, Quinlan, who was
25 years old at the time, described
what he saw that day.
"There was bedlam. They were
ripping the place apart. You can't
control them. They scream and yell
and destroy property. It was like an
angry flow of water. There was no
holding it back. It was a wave of
human beings," Quinlan said.
The riot finally ended at about
5 p.m., when police managed to
push, pull, and carry all the black
excursionists on board the "State
of Delaware,"
the ship that
brought the excursionists.
When it was all over, there were
no deaths and no arrests while the
only injuries reported were bumps,
bruises and cuts.

with a police force that swelled to
almost 100 officers.
That day, in an editorial in The
Poughkeepsie Eagle-News, the
paper publicly called for an end to
excursion trips to the park, saying
it was in the best interest of the
town and county if the boats did
not land there anymore.
The next day, determined not to
allow a repeat of the previous
weekend, Close contacted New
York police about the sale of
counterfeit charter tickets, and ask-
ed them to inform him of any ex-
cursions destined for Woodcliff.

He was notified of two trips
scheduled for that week.
He
was
quoted as saying, "The excur-
.
sionists will not land at Woodcliff
Park if we can help it."
After that, Woodcliff Park's
days were numbered, as political
and public pressure increased, for-
cing the amusement park to close
down, allowing the town to forget
what happened on Aug. 10, 1941.
Some, however, never did.
Quinlan, reflecting on that day,
said:
"It
left an indelible impres-
sion on me. I had never seen
human beings act like that. It's
something I never forgot."

A special education project will
be added this spring which will con-
nect Marist students with children
with handicaps at New Paltz Mid-
dle School.
Students enrolled in the special
education methods courses this
spring will be the first to participate
in this project. The project was
designed to better prepare students
for becoming teachers.
According to Janet Stivers, pro-
fessor in the Division of Social and
Behavioral Sciences, this project
will allow college students to have
an early-field experience through
the use of Marist's technology.
The system will use electronic
mail to communicate between the
Marist students and the children
with special educational-needs at
the New Paltz Middle School.
The program, according to
Stivers, will not only benefit the
Marist students in the program.
The children will involved in this
project will gain a relationship with
a caring adult, more meaningful
writing practice, higher academic
expectations and to experience
technology as a tool for learning
and for connecting with other
people.
This project will allow Marist
students to use the electronic mail
svstem to communicate Y.ith the
special ed1Jcation children through
both free and direct writing
assignments.
The advantages of this system
allows classroom teachers and
Marist instructors to monitor the
progress and work between the
students and children, to interact
more with the children and to work
with the children at their own con-
venience and under less stressful
circumstances.
The use of electronic mail will
also overcome the problems of
transportation in the past for
students.
·According to Stivers, this pro-
gram was developed as a modifica-
tion of a similar project that failed
in 1989 because of problems with
hardware and software.
The project emerged from
discussions between Marist facul-
ty and computer staff with the
superintendent,
principles and
teachers of New Paltz Middle
School. Some delays have been
made in implementing this project,
as in last spring when the middle
school was unable to fund a phone
line for the electronic mail system
The program will definite)y be
implemented this spring, according
to Stivers, however the extent of
technology used Y.ill depend upon
the funding the New Paltz may or
may not receive. If they receive the
funding they have asked for, a
phone line and computer will be
added to each classroom.

Marist Sports Information Director Dan
Sullivan is a man who wears many hats.
His role as SID, assistant soccer coach,
member of the 1993 U.S. Olympic Festival
Committee and district coordinator for
Academic All-Americans translates to one
pressure-packed, hectic lifestyle for the
26-year-old Sullivan.
Sullivan is in his second year as Marist's
SID after taking over for former Director
Bob Bordas. Sullivan works anywhere from
65
to 75 hours a week overseeing all public
relations for the athletic department's twenty
varsity teams. He is in charge of all adver-
tisements, statistics and any type of media
relations dealing with Marist athletics.
It's definitely not a 9-to-5 job for Sullivan,
but he said that's to be expected.

You try to keep the word out to the public
as much as you can and ther~•s always time
restraints. It comes with the business. I don't
have a problem with that."
For Sullivan, landing the job in the sum-
mer of 1990 was a home- coming of sorts.
He graduated from Marist in 1987.
"It's always a great honor to go back to
your alma matter. But I knew it was going

Cagers winless;
drop first three
by
MIKE O'FARRELL
Sports Editor
Three games into the season, the men's basketball team is faced with
a must win situation.
When the Red Foxes take the floor against the University of Buffalo
Dec. 21, Head Coach Dave Magarity said he hopes his team will garner
its first win of the season.
"That is a huge game for us," Magarity said.
"It
is a must win situa-
tion. This team needs to experience winning, especially with the tourna-
ment coming up."
,
The Pepsi/Marist Classic will take place Dec. 29 and 30 at the Mccann
Center. Last year, Marist was unable to win a game in its own tournament.
"We have an awful lot of work to do before that game, but I think
we are making progress and doing some good things," Magarity said.
While the Red Foxes must prepare for their own tournament,this past
weekend they took part in the Met Life Classic, hosted by the University
of San Francisco.
After falling to the host school in the opening round, the Red Foxes
nearly claimed their first victory of the year, losing to Eastern
Washington, 85-82.
Trailing by as many as 10 in the second half, Marist was able to cut
the Eastern Washington lead to two points before running out of time.
The Red Foxes played most of the game without starting point guard
Dexter Dunbar and starting center Fred Ingles.
Dunbar was ejected from the game for apparently spitting on an
Eastern Washington player who had slapped him.
According to Magarity, after Dunbar had been slapped, the point guard
did not retaliate in any form.
If the officials' report states Dunbar was ejected for fighting, he will
automatically be suspended for the next game, according to NCAA rules
said Magarity.
'
Magarity said he will be appealing the situation to the supervisor of
officials in the Northeast Conference.

The hockey team will play its
final game of the semester this Fri-
day night when it travels to
Bridgeport, Conn. to take on
Western
Connecticut
State
University.
For the Red Foxes, playing
Western should be a good way to
end the first part of the season.
Western is competing in its in-
augural season of competitive
hockey.
"They are struggling," said
junior Kent Rinehart.
','They
haven't won yet and it should be
an opportunity for us to finish the
semester on a positive note."
Before Thanksgiving recess, the
Red Foxes dropped a
6-5 decision
to Ocean County College.
According to assistant coach
Kevin Walsh, inconsistant play was
the main reason for the Marist
defeat.
"We broke down defensively,"
he said. "We didn't play a com-
plete game. This was a tough loss."
Before the OCC contest, Marist
scored a 7-5 come from behind win
against Fordham University.

Mary Phillips said it's like hav-
ing babies
-
the pain is
unbearable, but you continue to
have more.
Phillips, a mother of four from
Poughkeepsie, N. Y., has run in 10
marathons says she continues to
run because it gives her something
to focus on.
Despite the pain, sweat and ex-
haustion,
something keeps a
marathon runner going through
those 26.2 miles - but what is it?
Phillips, an alcoholism counselor
for the Department of Mental
Hygiene said, "You talk to
yourself, make deals with God.
Sometimes you just want to get the
heck into the shower and that's
what keeps you going."
Phil Kelly, 48, of Poughkeepsie,
N.Y.
has run in 26 marathons and
said what keeps a runner going is
the training.
,
Kelly said he runs 60 to 70 miles
a week to prepare for a marathon.
"We use to have what we called
marathon weekends," Kelly said.
"We ran six miles fast on Saturday
and 20 ll!iles on Sunday."
Kelly also said it's embarrassing
not to finish a race. "It's a macho
thing -
so you keep going."
Kelly , has ran the Boston
Marathon five times and says it is
the most fun of all the races he's
been in.
"I
remember one year we went
past Boston College and there were
students there ready to give you
beer at the bottom of Heartbreak
Hill. The girls at Wellesley scream
their brains out, especially when a
girl goes by, they go nuts," Kelly
recalls.
Kelly, an english teacher at
Carmel High School and cross-
country track coach at Marist,
remembers seeing some former
students while racing in Boston.
"I
stopped and talked and had
some beer with them," he said.
"You have to take time and en-
joy."
A marathon, which is equivalent
to running across the Mid-Hudson
Bridge 26 times, is a long time to
maintain concentration, said Kelly.
"The hardest part is getting to 20
miles, then the race really begins,"
he said. "You talk to people in the
race, look at the scenery. Runners
are very cqrigenial - it's like a lit-
tle fraternity of idiots."
Pete Colaizzo, 27, a sports writer
for the Poughkeepsie Journal and
cross-country
track coach at
Marist, has ran 12 marathons.
Colaizzo said, "When your legs
run out of gas it doesn't matter
what kind of training you've done.
You're running on mental will to
finish."
While Colaizzo runs about 80
miles per week to train for a
marathon, he said if a runner trains
right and races right, he'll get
through.
Colaizzo, who's fastest time is 2
hours, 46 minutes, said he races to
have a good time and to do well.
"So much can happen, it boggles
the mind," he said. "We don't
know why we go back, it's a game
of factors and formulas with the
body - you just race and see what
happens."
Colaizzo, like Kelly, enjoys run-
ning the Boston Marathon.
"When you go by Wellesley, the
people line the road so we're in
single and double file. They're all
partying and screaming things. I
was wearing a tie die and people
were yelling things at me like 'Go
Jerry Garcia' -
it's really neat,"
the bearded Colaizzo said.
While Kelly and Colaizzo said
proper training will get a runner to
the finish line, Claude Bodley has
other nio"tivations.
Bodley,
54,
has
ran
13
marathons and says other people
are the biggest motivators;
"There's nothing better than a
pretty girl ahead of you to keep you
going," he said with a grin.
Bodley, of Poughkeepsie, N.Y.
trains 75 to 90 miles a week for a
marathon and enjoys running races
because it's a challenge.
He remembers the New York Ci-
ty Marathon in 1981 because the
starting
line looked
like a
battlefield.
"It was cold, in the 40's, and
people were all bundled up before
the race to keep warm," he said.
... see RUN, page 15

The Red Foxes also tied
undefeated Siena College, 2-2.
Rinehart and Ed Sherako tallied
the goals for Head Coach Bob
Mattice's club. Freshman goalie
Brad Kamp notched 25 saves to
help secure the tie.
Mattice said he is optimistic
about the Red Foxes' chances in
the second half of the season.
Marist currently stands at 2-1-2.
"I expect us to have a solid se-
cond half," he said. "The nucleus
of the team is intact and the guys
are skating better. It will be an in-
teresting season."
'Walsh, who played on last year's
squad, also said the team should
have a strong second half.
"We have played some good
hockey against quality teams," said
the former captain.· "We have a
legitimate shot at reaching the
championship game again this
season."
