Richard Feldman,• assistant
professor of environmental sci-
enceat Manst College, said it is
this history .of the location that
raises the most concerns-about
the site.
"Before 1975, there were fewer
_ restrictions in Ne.w York State,"
hesatd.
''What happened in
previous decades may be harm-
•• ful still. • Some contaminants
leave, some stay around."
Chazen Companies, an engi-
neers and environmental pro-
fessionals company, conducted
tests on the site from 1994 to
1996. From these tests, the New
York State Bureau of Environ-
mental Exposure concluded that
there were significant levels of
Volatile Organic Compounds
(VOCs) present in the ground-
water.
When VOCs leak into drink-
ing water, they can cause can-
cer, leukemia and anemia, and
can affect the nervous system,
liver; andkidl)eys: -
ltwas found at the time~oftest- _
ing that VOC contamination was
confinedto the square area be-
tween Route 9, Fulton Street,
the Mid-Hudson Psychiatric
Center and the Conrail Truck
Line.
However, the groundwater
flows in two different directions.
In the northern and western area
of the site, it flows towards the
_ northwest.
In the southeast
comer, it flows southeastward,
toward
the
city_
of
Poughkeepsie.
James Mciver ofChazen Com-
panies noted· in a remedial in-
vestigation report in 1994, ·that
high levels of contaminatfun
• were detected in the southeast
area of the site.
"It is possible that clay in the
soil may have absorbed the con-
taminants and may be acting as
a source," he wrote.
The southeast area of the site
is at the intersection of Fulton
Street and the Conrail Truck Line
and is approximately 400 meters
from Marist's West Cedartown
houses currently being built.
Chazen Companies found that
not only was there a hazardous
amount of VOCs on the site,
there were also three septic
tanks that showed signs of con-
tamination and a fue.l tank that
was reported to be leaking pe-
troleum. Mctver determined
that a remedial program was
needed.

- Keith Browne, the Department
of Environmental Concerns' di-
rector ·of the site, said some
remediation was taking place. at
the site.
"There are two different areas
of contamination-
t~~
north end
by the Psychiatric Center is be-
ing remediated,"
he said.
"There has only been investi-
gation on the southeast end,
the $ide with the organic sol-
vents."
The proximity of the hazard-
ous waste site to Marist is a
concern of students and faculty,
and Feldman said that the site
of the new town houses should
be looked into.
"The site should be examined
first," he said. "Records should
be examined to see how the site
was used and whether there was
spillage. The soil should also

Since there are fewer fraterni-

Greek Week did not want to
have the various organizations
compete against one another.

said.

Special to The Circle
,
Oxford. The students who will
graduate with degrees from Ox-
ford are essentially set for life.
College is a three-year process
'
.
here and high school is . more
specifically designed to steer
students towards realizing their
major. No one comes to Oxford
without knowing his major, and
few change once they begin:
-When I am m~ving into Marist
for my senior year my peers from·.
Oxford'\vill be settling into their
new life. The business; finan-
cial, research, law, mathematics,
and engineering recruits stand
by the door _with
their nets held
tightly in their hands, waiting to
collect the stampede of future
leaders bursting from the quad.
When the dust settles I will be
standing with my bags and a
return ticket to Logan airport,
confused about what it is I have
seen here during the last year.
At first glance it is Oxford, the
grand city that looks more like a
medieval village then a center
for progressive learning. The
tall spires, intricate carvings,
and majestic quads feel like the
setting of a Tolkien novel. It was
a bit of culture shock 'Nalking
the streets of Oxford, when I
was s~ used to the modyrn right
angles and circular structures of
,
.
Marist. However, my college,
St. Catherine's, is the most
modem of the O~ford University
schools, and is built in a 1960s
, style (see Leo Hall fori:eference.)
- My classes are not classes at
all. Oxford and Cambridge are
the only schools in England
that use a tutorial system. It is
my responsibility to tell the dean
of visiting students what tuto-
rial
I
want
to
take
(Shakespearean tragedy, for ex-
ample), and in tum I .am told
what tutor to meet with. I go to
the tutor's office and have a one
.
.
hour meeting, in which the en-
. tire Bodlien Library ( one of the

.
'
.
.
oldest and biggest librarie~ in
the world) is assigned .to me,
and then I am told to write an 8
.
.. '
to _IO page paper about my
thoughts on the reading. • The
following week, I must come in
for another ·one hour meeting,
:
. .
.
in which I read the -paper _out
loud to the tutor.
,


--
'
.
.
.
There are no classes where
.
.
.
other people can occupy. the
teacher's attention -if a light
.
.
snooze is required. _
This is all
. one on one. _
This process is re-
. peated for the three, eight-,week
te1ms. There is only one meet-
ing a week per tutorial, leaving
plenty of time to read and write,
, and socialize.
There is an athletic life here
that puts Marist to shaine, al-
though· spectators are equally
hard-to come by in bo_th col-
leges. Nearly everyone at Ox-
• ford plays a sport, and every-
-
.
one is welcome and expected to
wander into a sport they have
never played for before. About
one out of six Oxford students
row on the crew team.
university sports are viscous

Inter-
tests of superiority, because all
the 38 schools frequent the
same pubs in the relatively
small, but thriving, cjty center
of Oxford. -
There is a 'powerful mix be-
tween social life, athletics, and
. academics. No one is more im-
portant t~an the other, and the
other
two
are
incomplete with~
• out the third.
The English pay'much higher
taxes than Americans, and as a
result there has never been· a
charge for college. Anyone who
passes a test can go to what-
ever college he is accepted into
for free. But this year, in spite
·of the ''Libra!'' government, a


new system has been. passed.
. Starting in Miche~lmas (fall
ter111),
all students will be forced
to pay a flat rate, regardless of
the school.they go
to·:.

This new flat rate has students

.

brary where - banners pro-
claimed, ''I'm miitriculating at
Blair College, Oxford!'' To the
Americans, and some British, •
the protestors are foolish. Iri an
age where education is no
longer an automatic ticket to
.
.
success, but a necessity if one
even wants a chance·at success,
paying for college should be an
acceptable bargain.
The u·ndergraduate studies
here are not more difficult than
Marist. They are very different,
socially and academically;
Rarely _do students have a so-
cial life with their teachers at
Marist like they do at Oxford. I
see Oxford, and Marist as well,
as a situation where each stu-
dent is in command of his own
• destiny. The level of teacher
availability spoils Marist stu-
dents. Between tutorials, one
has a better cllance of running
into a-teacher at a random pub
then finding him or her behind a
desk. There are benefits to each
teaching style and each campus
life, and it would be impossible
to
make an intelligent compari-
son of the two. There is no level
of success that a student_ can-
not reach on the basis of what
college they attend.
While
my
English
peers em-
bark on their life work this fall, I_ -
.
.
will be happy to r.eturn to
Marist, where I -~ill have the
time I need to make my post ,
graduate decisions. There is
nothing particularly difficult
about Oxford undergraduate
studies except being·accepted
and having· the 'confidence ·to -·
make the best out of the three
·years. I think.it is.the.same for·
us at Marist, except for the extra
year of course.

4. Still recovering from spring break.
3. Ordered out too much.



2. Have to pay $2. 79 for an orange highlighter at the

Editor urge~istud.¢nts:to;tak~;part
in Mari'st life••·.
I happen to be one of t~ose students.who is ¢ompletely in love with the McCann •
Center gym. I think I might actually have a· slight obsession with it, to tell the truth:
So, t~ere was no one more happy than me when it was announced Aerobics cla.sses
were coming to the gym. .
.

.
. Free classes, free machi_nes,
a place to go when I need to take out all my aggres-
sions and stress. Best of all, the operative word here is FREE.:- • .
. .· .• . • • •
But I noticed something very disturbing after the first few weeks of Aerobics; No
one was coming. This great opportunity was being missed by everyone. An oppor-
tunity to do something you might not no11nally
do, like take a step-sculpting class.
Why is this? As I sit back and review my Marist career, I realize that there are a lot
of things that I did not do, because I was too busy, or too tired, or I just could not
walk across campus to the Student Center to see whatever event was going on.
When I write these excuses down, I can see how lame they really are. But in reality,
there have been a lot ~f events I have not gone to because they were too far of a walk
(I admit I am extremely lazy when it comes to that sort-of thing!). •

might learn something from them. For example, I went to Diversity Day, and not only
had an excellent time, but I learned how hard it is for someone with dyslexia to read
a first-grade level sentence. This fact made·me appreciate what I have, and helped
me see the world through someone else's eyes, if only for a few brief minutes.
Being a writt:r for

for the past three years has forced me to go to events
I might not have gone to, because I ha~ to report on them. Although I did not want
to go; when I got to them, I was so happy,_and
a much better person for going. I had
fun, and I learned more about myself and others around me.·
.
. . · . .
I guess what I am trying to say is that we should take advantage of every moment
we spend here: Go to th_at
SPC sponsored event that you think is interesting (even.
though your friends may not), join that club that you alway~ wanted to be a part of,
you should even take that class that you always wondered about, even if it is not a
part of your major. .

You might have a lot of fun, you might learn a little, and after all, it
is
free!

Stress, stress, stress is all I feel lately. Being a senior and taking three of my major
classes does not help much. I have practically forgotten about my two electives. I •

it is a straight

there is . even a road that goes

ho sits on. ll:e Boo~~tore Advisory Committee. __
McCulloch added that the bookstore has provided -
any suggestions for improvement, especially concerning textbook pricing. •
.
. . ''With textbooks there's not much y._e
can do· as it is its own industry,'' said Rane when asked about the
ookstore efforts concerning textbook costs; • According to. the textbook cost distribution·. breakdown
ccessed via the Marist bookstore web page, the bookstore receives only approximately four percent of
e entire cost of the text, with the maj()rity of the cost going back to the.publisher.
According t<>
McCulloch, some of.the bookstores suggestions have already been acted upon. Profes-
ors have been asked by the bookstore to care.fully consider the cost of textbooks before ordering
eedless expensive texts. Faculty members were also sent letters concerning the cost of books last week.
'Bookstore costs affect everyone; especially the students'' said McCulloch. ''As a student, I understand
e need for lower prices. The Student Government will continue to work with the bookstore until we find
way to make this happen."

• Theweekl:)egan on Thursday
when the team traveled to West
Point to take on local rival Army.
In game one ofthe double~
header, Melanie. Kasack: arid

Army's ~arah Hatton hooked up
in a classic pitcher's duel.
The game• went scoreless •
through six and a half before the
Cadets came up for their final
at-hat. In what was far from a
dramatic ending, Kari Brizit,is
bounced into a fielder's choice
scoring the lone run of the
ballgame and giving Army a 1-0
victory.
-
Game two was a different story,
• however, as the Fo~es made up
right off t~e bat forthe runs they
did not score in the first game.
Marisnook a 7-:l advantage af-
ter two and the score would re-
main unchanged from that point
on.
After scoring a pair in the first
Marist exploded for five in the
second. The rally was high-

Kathryn ·cheski·. and Michele

Hanson picked
up
the win by
going the distance. while scat-
. tering eight hits and striking out
six.
Two days later Marist was back
home as they welcomed St. Pe-
ters for a doubleheader; In the •
first game.the.Foxes were sty~
mied by St. Peters hurler Darlene
• Anderson as she fired a three-
hitter while striking out seven.
Marist fell 4-0.
Kasack took the loss as St.
Peters hammered out 12 base
hits, paced by the 3-for-4 effort
of Liz Stivers, as Marist suffered
their first loss in the conference.
Marist bounced back in game
two though as they grabbed a
_ 6-3 win. Like the second Army
game they got on the board
early, scoring four in the first
frame. The fire power was pro-
vided by Cheski who connected
on a two-run blast in ·the first.
Other hitting stars were
Koldjeski and·. Hanson, who
each had two hits and a ·pair of
RBI, and Melissa .Tucci who
went2-for-4. Kasack gathered
the win; going a strong seven
innings.
• On Sunday, Manhattan trav-
.eled • to Poughkeepsie. In • the
first of two, Kasack shut down
theJaspers as Marist triumphed
4-2. • Kerri Harris went 2:for-3
with two RBI.
Uke the first, the second game
was close throughout. Kasack
took the hill again and again re-
turned victorious, picking up
hertenth win.of the year. After
getting .off to a shaky start sur-
rendering three runs over the
first two frames, she settled in
as Maristwenton to win 4-3.
The Red Foxes took the lead
on a Tucci round-tripper in the
third. It would be her first of
two homers in the game as she
would add a solo shot in the
sixth. Tucci went 2-for-3 and
drove in three.
Koldjeski also homered for
Marist and went 2-for-3.
After the sweep over fellow
MAAC member Manhattan the
Foxes improved to 5-1 in the
conference.
The softball team will be in
action today at Fairfield.
