byMwcARUM
. Staff Writer
A new police task force had
been created to monitor off-cam..:
pus Marist parties.
On Oct. 2, Dean Peter Amato
sent out a one-page letter.to··all
full-time off-campus students, in-
fonning them that a meeting was
held between the college, the
City of.Poughkeepsie Police de-
partment and the city'sCorpq.;
rate Council regarding the.behay-

In the letter, Amato told the stu-
dents that the police have.now
set up a special. task force '!as-
signed to investigate parties
held by students. in the city."
Amato said that there wereno

Paul Sullivan, anattomey who
represents Marist, was also at the

and the school.
• He said that the overall tone of
the meeting was very positive.
"We realized that continuous
actions by certain individuals
adversely affect the school's im-

''The police said that they would
take certain steps and the college
also pledged it's commitment to
help solve the dilemma.''
No details about the size and
strength of the task force were
made available and City of

Polay was unavailable for com-

MIPO distributing poll results nationwide
Surveys to be televised from Syracuse, NY to Savannah, GA
byMELANIEFFSTER
Staff Writer
The Marisflnstitute for Pub-
lic Opinion (MIPO) has found a
new way to communicate its poll
results to the nation.
The weekend of Oct 21, MIPO
filmed two videos in the Lowell
Thomas television studio with
its most recent poll results.
They will send these videos
to 19 television stations across
the nation to be aired on their
news programs.
MIPO directors Lee Miringoff
and Barbara Carvalho and MIPO
intern Heather Kowadla have
spent the last several months
marketing the video to the news
stations.
So far, according to Miringoff,
around 10 percent of the coun-
try
will now be using the video
for its news programs.
"We have established a net-
work of TV stations that will be
a part of this Marist Poll for the
November sweeps," Miringoff
said. "The new market is reach-
ing places from Syracuse, NY,
to Savannah, GA, to Gincinnati,
OR"
Carvalho said that the video
is a good opportunity for MIPO
to expand its outreach.

MONTREAL (AP) -
Chastened
by a narrow, nerve-wracking vie-
.
tory over Quebec separatists,
.Canada's federal leaders on
Tuesday began the daunting task
of trying to put the divided na-
tion back together.
The separatists, unbowed,
pledged to mount another
breakaway attempt in mostly
French-speaking Quebec. But
undercurrent law, it couldn't hap-
pen for a few years.
They also fueled divisiveness
by blaming their defeat on non-
francophone immigrants. Police
reported 40 arrests after support-
ers of the rival sides brawled, and
a homemade bomb was found at
offices of the federalist Liberal
Party.
There was little celebration in
the federal capital, Ottawa, where
Prime Minister Jean Chretien met
with his Cabinet to discuss the
impact of Monday's indepen-
dence referendum.
The federalists' narrow

dissatisfaction," Dubuc wrote.
'They were incapable ofpropos- ,
ing a message of hope to them
and giving their vote some mean-
ing."
Quebec's separatist premier,
Jacques Parizeau, caused a furor
with his bitter non-concession
speech Monday night in which
he blamed big business and eth-
nic minorities for thwarting the
will of the French nationalist ma-
jority.
"The sort of very negative
petty politics that he displayed
were rather disgusting," said
Deputy Prime Minister Sheila
Copps. "He was looking for
someone to blame, and in his
agenda it's the ethnics, the non-
whites."

Marist student and intern at
City of Poughkeepsie Partner-
ship Inc., Dina Anello, was one
of the chief organizers of the
block party.
She said the goal of the event
was to mix students from the
local colleges and familiarize
them
with
downtown
Poughkeepsie.
"Marist students take advan-
tage of the downtown area,"
said Anello. "But Vassar and
CIA students stick to them-
selves."
The college block party
opened doors to students, con-
necting them with the commu-
nity and students from other
local colleges.

Marist students often complain
about rolling out of bed in time
for 8:00 classes.
But students at the Culinary In-
stitute of America (CIA) begin
cooking breakfast for their earli-
est class at 2:00 in the morning.
The CIA, located in Hyde Park,
is considered by chefs and bak-
ers to be one of the top culinary
schools in the United States.
John A. Martino, a 1989 gradu-
ate of the CIA, said the status
and reputation of the school
helps its graduates claim some
of the top jobs in the industry.
"Being a graduate of the CIA
has opened a lot of doors in the
food service industry, being rec-
ognized world-wide," Martino
said.
Jon Lipinski, a second-year stu-
dent at the CIA, said the
workload at his school includes
21
months
of
classes,
extemships, and hands-on expe-
rience.
However, Lipinski said al-
though the school demands • a
great deal of time and commit-
ment from its students, the expe-
rience gained is worth it.
"Our school is the Ivy League
of all culinary schools," Lipinski
said. "It is the best in the coun-
try, and for that reason, the stu-
dents have to stand up to it."
Lipinski said after 21 months,
students graduate from the CIA
with an Associate's degree.
According to this year's CIA
course outline, students can also
earn their
B.A.

additional schooling.
Lipinski, who commutes from
his home in Poughkeepsie, said
the best part about the CIA is
the broad range of knowledge it
exposes students to.
"They give you a taste of ev-
erything, and you can always
learn more about what you're
doing," he said.
According to the CIA catalog,
it is the only residential college
in the world dedicated solely to
the culinary arts.
Lipinski said he likes that the
entire school is devoted to pre-
paring students for careers in the
food industry.
"It is the single most concen-
trated area of expertise," Lipinski
said. "When you go to school,
everybody in that school has
something to do with cooking."
Lipinski said the staff at the
CIA makes the school stand out
from others.
"The chefs are among the top
in the world. They could just sit
dowli and talk about experience
for hours each day," he said.
Martino, now the executive
chef of a New Jersey country
club, said the instructors stand
out as the best in the industry.
"One of.the greatest chefs and
my mentor is Bruno H. Ellmer, an
instructor at the CIA, who has
led me and inspired my career
goals," Martino said.
Lipinski said the instructors al-
ways encourage questions from
students, and they arc con-
stantly seeking new infonnation
about the culinary arts.
"It's a field where you can never
possibly know everything be-
cause it's constantly changing,"
he said.
Although Lipinski said he
loves his school, he said it is not
perfect.
According to Lipinski, the CIA
needs to upscale its curriculum.
"They need to reform the cur-
riculum because the school is
starting to get more and more of
a name," he said.
Lipinski said the school was
set up to handle between 15 and
20 students in a class. However,
he said now the classes have
about 25 students each.
Lipinski said a possible reason
for this is because he thinks the
CIA has lowered its admission
standards.
Lipinski said he needed at least
six months of a solid cooking
career when he applied, but this
is no longer mandatory.
"I don't think its fair that where
I had credentials, there are now
people who got in there with six
months of wait staff," he said.
Lipinski said the school may be
lowering its standards because so
many people want to get into the
field.
However, he said most of the
students are still extremely seri-
ous about learning. He said this
is due in part to the maturity level
of most of the students, since the
average student is 26 years old.
According to Lipinski, all CIA
students take courses on table
service, restaurant management,
how to run a kitchen, wines and
menus, and kitchen and restau-
rant design.
Martino said all of these aspects
of the culinary arts are very im-
portant, and the school provided
him with a great deal of informa-
tion required for his career.
"It
has given me one of the great-
est foundations and understand-
ings of food and the applica'lions
of it," Martino said.
Lipinski said the students gain
a great deal of experience at the
CIA, and during their fifth tenn,
they cook for the four campus res-
taurants.
The CIA restaurants offer
American, French, and Italian cui-
sine. The fourth restaurant, St.
Andrew's, serves health food.
Lipinski said on average people
drive 90 miles to cat at the CIA.
Marijuana use rises nationally, but not seen as pressing issue on-campus
by Jeaninne Aviles
Staff Writer
Bongs, bowls and blunts.
According to a Federal survey,
young people are becoming more
involved in the world of drugs
and the paraphernalia that goes
along with it.
Teenage activists in the United
States are fighting to legalize a
drug, which others say it is the
_beginning of the end for people
who try it and get hooked.
This drug is marijuana.
The survey reported that mari-
juana use among teens has al-
most doubled since 1992.
. As reported in
The New York
Times,
the survey adds that fewer
young people say they consider
marijuana to be a great risk.
Joseph Leary, the director of
Safety and Security, said when
he worked with a drug aware-
ness task force, they believed it
could lead to further addictions.
"Not all people who smoke
marijuana go on
to
crack
?r
heroin, but every crack or herom
addict started with marijuana,"
Leary said.
According to Leary, there are
students on campus who avoid
the advice of those who protest
against marijuana use.
Leary said these students con-
tinue to use it, but they are either
not distributing it or not getting
caught.
According to Leary, the mari-
juana that is found on campus is
for personal use, and it is not be-
ing sold.
"We don't run into any prob-
lems as far as trafficking in marl-
. juana," Leary said. "If we run
into information on somebody
trafficking,
we'll
get the
Dutchess County Drug Task
Force in.
President Murray has said from
the beginning
that if we see any
kind of a drug problem on this
campus, he wants the cops in,
he wants an investigation, he
wants people locked up, and he
doesn't care about the head-
lines," Leary added.
Freshmen Jennifer Altman, a
computer information systems
major from New Jersey, said she
sees marijuana use in her dorm,
but it is only a problem with the
people who abuse it.
"It is a problem with some
people more than others,"_
Altman said.
Most of the drugs that are con-
fiscated are found when stu-
dents are away on breaks.
Leary said security often dis-
covers it during winter interces-
sion or over summer break.
He said if the people come back,
security questions them, and
they claim they do not know
where it came from.
According to Leary, security
• .cannot do much by way of ar-
rests if they do not find the per-
son actually using or in posses-
sion of the marijuana or parapher-
nalia at the time.
"We'll come across it and
they'll say, 'I don't know how it
got there.' We're not in a posi-
tion to say 'we got your finger-
prints on that leaf of marijuana.'
It doesn't work that way," Leary
said.
Leary said often security can-
not connect the drugs with the
users.
"We'll come up with this stuff,
but there's no bodies attached
to this stuff. You'll find it in the
hallways and stuff like that,"
Leary said.
Leary said that although mari-
juana use seems to be increas-
ing in the world around Marist,
there does not seem to be an im-
mense increase in marijuana use
within the college.
"(Marijuana use) is pretty
much on a level," Leary said, "I
would like to say it's going down,
but very honestly, we don't get
that much evidence of marijuana
to say it is increasing or it is de-
creasing."
Senior Lauriellen Stimpson, a
pre-med major from Connecticut,
said she thinks marijuana is
heavily used on campus.
- "I don't smoke it, but I know a
lot of people that do. I just
choose not to use it. I don't see
what's so great about it,"
Stimpson said.
Leary said he collected the
small arrangement of unusual
marijuana paraphernalia on his
office shelf from many donns
since last semester. With such a
display, Leary said it does makes
it impossible to ignore that there
are students who do smoke mari-
juana.
"It's not a big problem, but
marijuana is being used on cam-
pus," Leary said. "I'd go so far
as to say that if anybody in a
college setting says there's no
marijuana on this campus they're
lying to you."
Leary said most of the marl.:
juana is found in the dorms, and
not on the North End. For this
reason, freshmen and sopho-
mores are primarily the groups
that security focuses on.
Leary said this does not mean
there is no marijuana use on the
North End of campus. Rather,
security does not just walk into
the residences to look around.

Des Anderson, of Irish Ameri-
can International Co., came to
Marist to sell his merchandise.
Born and raised in Northern Ire-
land, Anderson said he has been
. in the vending business for the
past three years.
Originally, Anderson said he
was a photographer who came
to America to sell pictures of his·
homeland.
But, he said there was no
money in thisJield, and he de-
cided to try vending.
Anderson's company special-
izes in items with Celtic designs,
flags from around the world, T-
shirts, and a variety of sterling
silver jewelry.
Anderson said he lives near
Boston, and he makes road trips
within a seven-hour driving ra-
dius of his home for about four
weeks a semester.
"Most of these trips include
sleeping in the front of my van
because I won't pay $40 a night
for a motel room," Anderson
said.
Anderson said there is no sa-

traveling livelihood. He said he

At times, Anderson said he has
had problems with security at
Maris! and at other colleges.
"Because I'm a vendor, they
don't care about what I need,"
Anderson said.
Anderson said he wonders
why certain colleges, excluding
Marist, do not allow him to dis-
play any items that portray alco-
hol, such as the Guinness tees
and flags.
"What, are students going to
go out and say I must go and get
a car and get drunk and knock
someone down? I don'.t think
so," Anderson said.
Most students seem to enjoy
the opportunity to shop on cam-
pus, and they could be seen con-
gregating around Anderson's
table throughout the day.
Senior Erin Green gave Ander-
son a thumbs up, complete with
a shiny new silver ring.
"The prices arc pretty good,
and he (Anderson) is great. He
knew exactly what I needed. He
knew my style and my size,"
Green said.
There is a reason that the prices
of these Irish products arc so low.
"There arc very good reasons
for not ripping people off. I at-
tract more people with low prices
and, therefore, I make more
money," Anderson said.
Unfortunately, people do not
always wan! to pay. After about
three hours at Marist, Anderson
said he noted that two purses
were missing.
"Girls steal just as often as
guys," Anderson said. "It's like
a disease. When they have to
try on every ring, it's like they
need a fix."
Anderson said people often
ask him what many of the differ-
ent Celtic designs mean. He ex-
plained that he would have to go
back to college in order to un-
derstand the meanings of all the
symbols. However, he said not
everything has a meaning.
"Sometimes it's just an artist
doing a doodle," Anderson said.
Working as a vendor for Irish
American International Co. is
Anderson's full-time job. Ander-
son said he hopes to stick this
job out for another five years, so
he can move back to Ireland and
"live in peace."
Diet and~':lifestyle
key factors 'in ·preventing breast cancer·
hyKelly.

Staff Writer
Cathy Acunto wakes up at
5
a.m. six days a week to row with
the Women's Crew team here at
Marist.
Acunto said what she hadn't
considered at 5.a.m. was that she
may actually be lowering her
chances of getting breast cancer.
"At this age, I don't even feel
that breast cancer relates to me ...
especially since no one in my
family has it," said Acunto.
Despite the common belief that
breast cancer is only hereditary,
latest research is finding diet and
lifestyle in younger women to be
key factors in avoiding the dis-
ease.
According to the National Can-
cer Institute, there is a link be-
tween diets high in fat and breast
cancer. Fruits, vegetables, and
food high in fiber, for example,
may help prolong or even pro-
hibit the disease.
Theresa Constantino, a
37-
year-old woman who doctors
consider in the age bracket pri-
marily at risk for breast cancer,
said that diet is not the main con-
cern for most college students ...
studies are.
'.'Young women need to know
that what you eat now probably
will affect you later. I feel that
women have a higher risk of can-
cer than men do because we
have more fat cells, said
Constantino;
The Marist employee also said
that substituting lemon and black
pepper for butter or cooking with
beans and natural grains could
help lower the fat in stufents' di-
ets.
Acunto continues to lower her
risk of acquiring the disease with-
out even realizing it. As a young
athlete she refrains from almost
all alcohol.
Research is showing a correla-
tion between high levels of alco-
hol intoxication
in young
women, especially th,ose women
who have a family history of
breast cancer.
Marist's Registered Nurse,
Linda Schaffer, said that occa-
sionally students will go to health
services on campus because of
pain or discomfort in the breast
area.
"Their first reaction is that they
are frightened; My first concern.
is their stress level, general health
history, and how long they have
been monitoring the change.
Usually it is due to an increase in
. alcohol or even caffeine," said
Schaffer.
The Marist nurse also said that
environment, age, and activity are
important elements oflifestyle in
women and breast cancer. She
said that studies are linking smok-
ing to not only lung cancer, but
breast cancer too.
Acunto is a non-smoker.
Research has shown that envi-
ronmental pollutants of all kinds
may be tied in with the disease.
Breast cancer is the second to
lung cancer in causing deaths
among women in the U.S.
According to Schaffer, age is a
serious risk factor in acquiring
the disease. She said that al-
though breast cancer more com-
monly strikes women in their 40s,
there are no gaurentees as to
who the cancer attack.
Schaffer said that women in •
their early 20s may detect mal-
formations in their breasts that
are typically non-cancerous. If
cancer is detected among this

is a more rapid growing one than
that of elder women.
Program Director at the
Dutchess County branch of the
American Cancer Society, Valerie
Scheying, said that the most im-
portant thing students should
know right now is to be active.
Scheying said that by conduct-
ing monthly Breast Self-Examina-
tions (BSE) young women will be
able to detect changes.
"Early detection is key. You
pay your monthly bills, you do

Facts and Figures, updated an-

from it.

*
Studies show that more
young black women are
not smoking and are there-
fore decreasing their breast
cancer risk.
*
Japanese women face
the least risk of all attrib-

*
The U.S., Britain, and
the Netherlands have the
highest rate of breast can-
cer tumors and also the
richest diet.
*
Birth control pills and
other hormonal medicine
have not been directly
linked to breast cancer.
*
Obese women have a
harder time detecting
breast cancer tumors early
and therefore are at more
risk for the disease.

Presidential summit reveals
a
lot more than just politics
Marist is still basking in the floods
of publicity it has received from par-
ticipating in· Jast week's presidential
summit.
.
...
•
In fact, I think,Marist gained more
from the event than The White House.
Several days prior.to the summit, lo-
cal media reported on the college's
endless efforts to take care of a11 the
physical preparations for Clinton's
visit.
On Monday Oct. 23, the day two of
the world's most powerful leaders de-.
scended upon Hycle
Park,

international
media flocked
to
FDR's
Estate. And who was included in· a
bulk of the interviews? Mari st admin-
istrators, employees and student vol-
unteers.
I was fortunate enough to work with
the White House Advance Team, pre-
paring the library and grounds for the
event, and saw first-hal)d how much
work was needed forOt:lie six-hour
meetini
..
Marist donated everything from
staging and televisions to carpeting and
rope. And it. was a team· of student
volunteers who placed every last nut
and bolt at the library.
The college's Mechanical Services
department must be commended too,
for the amount of ti~e they spent
building a two-level stage for the me-
dia in front of FDR's hoine. Neither

Because, after all, as NewYork Senator Daniel PatrickMoynihail._so
aptly put it,
"The elderly vote, and kids don't" And that is putting it mildly.
·_
The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) has a strong membership
of33 million that are known·fo.r turning_out in drnves on.election day.
(Which is why the debate does not focus on the real financial burden ori the
federal budget,social security~)
.
Conversely,the ,ower and working classes have·a notoriously poor turnout for
elections, and in many cases, c_lfe
noteven registered voters.
Even
a
powerful lobbying group like the AARP has not kept Medicare off the
·chopping
block.
.
.
.
Over the course of the next seven years, 51 percent of the budget will be elimi-
nated from Medicare, the health care assistance for the elderly.
.
•
·
The hope is to piJlage the program into bankruptcy, or, as the Speaker put it, cause
Medicare to "wither on the vine."
•
The assault on Medicare is thinly veiled beneath the GOP facade of balancing the
budget.
However, there are no false pretenses about the elimination of Welfare:
,
The program has long been target of conservatives, who often talk about "welfare
queens" ..
•
Apparently, conservatives feel that $200 a month is a luxurious sum of money for
less fortunate families: They also seem to think that three meals a day is too many
forthe nation's children, as seen by the gutting of the.school lunch program.
Of course, if children are hungry during school, they will be distracted from learn-
ing, which seems to fit in nicely with the budget massacre.
Under the plan, college loans will be harder to get, and the money will be less.
There will also be hidden truces adding $700 to $2500 in costs per student.
Not to mention that colleges will be forced to pay a fee for each loan it gives.
This means that even the select few who actually managed to salvage something
from a substandard education in a crime-ridden, poorly financed public school
system, will not get the opportunity in the future.
So, not only would you not be in college looking at this newspaper, you would not
even be able to read the words in front of you.
•
It is painfully obvious that something needs to be done about the ever~inflating
?ebt. How~ver, what d~ not. ~eed to be done is to reduce spending by punishing
mnocent chtldren and semor c1t1zens.
•
_
Granted, there are abuses within these programs, but for the most part these are
necessary programs that help those in need.
Of course, since the GOP does not give a damn about those with financial hard-
ships, they should at least be consistent, and not take food out of children's mouths
while giving handouts to
the
very wealthy.

seemingly forgot to inform all commuters that we have an on-cam-

difficulty in sending this mail to the addresses we gave

the way it handles itself, clearly a reflection on the administration.
So if you are a commuter, especially a senior, go to the mail room for
a key to your mailbox and check it regularly. Do not forget to apply
for graduation by November 4th. Also, let the administration know
that you are displeased with their performance. It is the only way to

Where is· Marist College Radio?
F.ditor:
I write this Jetter in response to the flood of questions I and other
members ofMarist College Radio (WMCR) have been receiving over
the past weeks. For those of you who are freshman, you may not
realize that Marist College does have a radio station completely staffed
and operated by students. For those of you who know that WMCR
does exist, you may be asking yourself, "Where did WMCR go, and
why can't I find it on my radio dial?"
•
Over this past summer, WMCR and its members were finally granted
their
_wish:
to move and expand the radio station. Working with the
College.Activities Office, we have been able to move the station's
position to a newly built, spacio_us locatiqn that will be a,ble to sat-
isfy our needs as a growing campus radio station. Along with the
construction of the new station, we have been able to purchase new
equipment such as a professional double-disc
.compact
disc player,
and refurbjs_h,sc.m~e.ofourold
equipm_ent, such as.the rewiring of the.
•
board. Also, we now have a professional technician that is oversee-
ing the relocation of the station's antenna to a more preferable posi-
tion thatwill significantly increase our broadcasting range.
Although
_all
of these new physical things are impressive and excit-
ing, they do not constitute the most fondamentill change that has
occurred.over the summer. WMCR has a new attitude. I would like
to thank
.an
of the members of WMCR for the support they have
shown as the radio station tries to get back on the air. More impor-.
tantly,J
_would
also like to personally thank each and every indi-
vidual on the WMCR management team. This group of outstanding
.
individuals have,put in long hours of hard work and effort trying to
inake this year the best ever .. In my opinion, they have accomplished
their jobs withflying colors, breathing new signs of life into Marist
Coll\!ge Radio.
•
MarisiC~llege Radio is now located in the Student Center, down the
haH behind the.College Activities Office: At the moment, we are
putting the finishing touches on our expansion, and plan to open
riormal operations on November 8th.·I encourage everyone to stop
by, visit, and see what WMCR is all about. Remember, after the 8th
of November, tune your radio to 90.1 WMCR, Marist College Radio.

This is a good thing.
Some people grew up "here",
some people "there", some
people even "way over there",
etc., etc.
Due to the fact that I often
spend a large amount of my time
thinking about silly useless
things, I have found that an
easy way to figure out where
your peers grew up is to ask
them about- the games they
played as a kid.
"When you were·a
'lil
shaver
what did you throw at each
other? What was the long dis-
tance weapon of choice?"
.
Now we all know that kids
throw stuff at each other.
It is· like the in thing to do as a
kid-girls included, I think.
How they ~nswer this ques-
tion will tell you about the envi-
ronment that they grew up in.
If the answer is "We threw
dirt bombs at each other," that
means that, more than likely,
they grew up in the suburbs.
In the surburbs there are al-
ways new houses being built,
hence lots of heavy dirt laying
around to chuck at each other.
(Further research has deter-
mined that the reason they were
called dirt bombs is because
·/.r~i
If the answer is "We threw
rocks at each other," that means
that the subject that you are
studying grew up in a much more
"city" environment.
Because in the city, there are.no
dirt bombs, and the only readily
accessible itein is broken pave-
ment and little rocks and pebbles.
I think this may be part of the
reason that people from the city
environment are less timid, as a
whole, than people from the
'burbs.
Because when a little kid hits
you with a rock, it hurts.
By the way, if the answer to this
simple question is something like
this,·
"Uh ... uh ... we
threw
...
uh.
..
uh
...
mnm ... umrn ... errr
...
,''
then it seems obvoius that what-
ever the object being tossed
about was, this kid sure must've
got hit alot-
and probably on
the head.
( Or maybe this just proves that
this kid lived to close to power
lines.)
There are other responses to
this question that I have yet to
run into, but make sense.
If somebody answers that they
threw cow chips at each other, it
is a safe bet that they grew up in
the general vicinity of a farm.
Threw
sticks
at each
other ... grew up in the woods.
Threw snow balls at each
Professor's
Podium
Or even more specific ... they
exclusively threw baseballs at
each other-a coaches kid, I'm
sure.
Speaking of which, the varia-
tion of baseball that was played
as a kid is a good indicator of
where that person grew up as
well.
The kids who played real au-
thentic Wiffle-brand wiffle ball
( with the yellow bat and the
.
cheap plastic ball) arc mostly
from the suburbs.
But if you played stick ball
with a broom stick and a hand
ball, you are most likely from a
more urban area.
All kids play home run derby
when they play baseball, (be-
cause it is hard to find enough
kids to field teams), and how
they detenninc what a home run
is, is also a good indicator
of
where they grew up.
"Home runs are three shrubs
past the driveway," is a suburb
response.
"Home runs are four manhole
covers past the parked Chevy,"
is a typical urban response.
So with these few insights you
to can impress and amaze your
friends with your ability to fig-
ure out just where they grew up,
and only by asking them a few
simple questions.

Staff Writer
Writer/director Kevin Smith
scored a huge hit with his debut
movie "Clerks," which was all
about a day in the life of store
clerks. I loved that movie, so
when I heard that "Mallrats,"
Kevin Smith's new flick was out,
I was first in line for tickets. Well,
I should have saved my money,
because "Mallrats" is pathetic in
comparison to "Clerks."
In "Mallrats," Jeremy London
and Jason Lee play T.S. and
Brody, two guys who get dumped
by their girlfriends. Brody's girl-
friend Rene, is played by
Shannen Doherty in a real stretch
of a role as the bitchy, nagging
girlfriend (Brenda?) Brandy is
T.S. 's girlfriend, and her father
produces a cheesy teen dating
show that's on-location at the
mall; she is going to be a contes-
tant on the show, and this pisses
T.S. off, so they break up.
T.S. and Brody see the error of
their ways, so they go hang at
the mall to try and win their girl-
friends back. At the mall, they·
run into Jay and Silent Bob, ba-
sically two losers who spend
their days hanging out at the
mall. Silent Bob is actually Kevin·•
Smith the director who, true to
his name, stays pretty quiet
throughout the movie.
Brody sends Jay and Silent
Bob on a mission: to sabotage
the dating show, and make
Brandy's father look stupid on
national television.
(As
if embar-
rassing your girlfriend's father
will bring her running back).
They spend the whole movie try-
ing to ruin the show, only to fail
miserably each time they try.
This is the whole basis for the
movie: grungy, trendy teenagers
hanging around the mall. Brody
and T.S. discuss such elevated
topics as butt-wiping and anal
sex, while they search diligently
for Rene and Brandy. They even
go to a· three-nippled fortune
teller to find out if their women
wiJl come back to them.
Rene is being pursued by a
store manager in the mall; she
goes to visit him for his lunch
break, but ends up getting down
with Brody in the mall-elevator.
This movie has more than its
share of dirty jokes and bad hu- •
mor, which I found more stupid
and annoying than funny. It's
the kind of movie that will appeal
to horny little prepubescent brats
in junior high. Most of my
friends are over jokes that in-
volve bodily functions.
I'm a bit sick of the whole
"grunge" trend, and it will never
die if movies like this keep resur-
recting interest in baby tees and
barrettes,
especially
when
they're on Shannen Doherty.
Brody is an opinionated, aggra-
vating character who spouts his
feelings on every subject from en-
vironmental
issues
to
homophobia-
by the end of the
film, I really wanted to hit him,
just to shut him up.

Although the best might be
gone, watchers can still find vi-

scenic countryside of Millbrook,
Dutchess County.
Millbrook, located a half an
hour east of Marist, contains a
unique charm that many people
fall in love with .. The rolling hills
and open fields are similar to
England's hunt country. In fact,
one might actually see horses
and hounds while driving
through the area along Route 44.
The best spot to begin a tour
of Millbrook is at Allyn's Res-
taurant for Sunday brunch. On
Route 44, Allyn's is located in

The
Jayhawks:
A
little bit of country
mixed
with a bit of rock

by

WYMAN
Staff Writer
Use the term "country-rock" as
the answer to the query of what
•
kind of music you enjoy, and·
you' re setting your self up for
some criticism. Unfortunately, all
one has to do is mention the word
"country" and automatically im-
ages of big
lO
gallon hats and
Hee-Haw reruns are conjured up.
But the release of "Tomorrow
The Green Grass" by The
Jayhawks proves that music that
has roots in both country and
rock doesn't have to be boring.
"Tomorrow The Green Grass"
·
is the follow up to 1992's criti-
cally acclaimed "Hollywood
Town HaW', and is another album
chock full of the same soulful
blend of folk, country and Ameri-
can rock 'n '. roll. Where ''Town
Hall" had the alternative/pro-
gressive radio hit "Waiting In the
Wings'', ''Tomorrow The. Green
Grass" will surely have at least a
hit or two.

But on Saturday, at Tatum
Par in New Jersey, things did
not go as planned at the North-:-
east Conference Champion-
ships.
Head coach Pete .Coalizzo
did not go so far as to say the
meet was a complete disaster
but admitted he was more dis-
appointed than anything else.
"We were hoping for a third
place finish and it.just did not
happen for us." .
•
Marist placed fifth'in the
league out of the possible 10
schools
that
competed.
Mount S_aint Mary's (Md.)
dominated the meet and fin-
ished in first place with a low
score total of 30.
Following them in the stand-
ings was Rider College, finish-
ing a somewhat distant sec-
ond with 65 points.

he could not put his finger on
what exactly went wrong for
his team over the weekend:
"I'm not-sure what hap-

After
32
years of coaching,
"the f!1ther of Marist soccer",
Doctor Howard "D_oc"
Goldman,
coached his l_ast-game_.
·
Goldman ended his coaching
career on Tuesday with a 4-0
shut-out over S.U.N.Y. Oneonta.
After graduating with a Physi-
cal Education degree from
S.U.N.Y. Cortland in 1952,
Goldman taught. and coached
soccer at Plymouth State College
. in New Hampshire.
In 1963, he came to Marist tak-
ing over as Athletic Director,
Chainnan of Physical Education,
and as Marist's first men's soc-
cer coach.
"Doc" Goldman has led the
Red Foxes to two NCAA Divi-
sion II tournament appearances
as well as winning the ECAC,
Marist's first ever Eastern Colle-
giate Athletic Conference cham-
pionship.
Goldman led
the
men's soccer
program into Division I play in
1981, where his team finished 12-
6-1.
In 1985, Goldman accumulated
his 200th win and this past Sept.
3 he captured his 250th victory.
During half-time of his final
game, Goldman, introduced as
"the father of Marist soccer'', was
honored by Athletic Director,
Tim Murray for his 32 years of
coaching.
"He's a guy whose been
coaching with young people for
33seasons, he has tremendous
wisdom. Without question, it is
not going to be easy to replace
Doc Goldman," Murray said.
But coaching soccer was
only part of Goldman's impact_
upon his players. Goldman al-·
ways emphasized the impor-
. tance of academics.
.
Co-captain and four-year
varsity letterman,
Garrett
Golisano shared his thoughts
on his coach.
"I've talked with lots of
coaches from other schools,
and he was the only coach that
stressed academics at the col-
lege level.
That really says something

Hudson River makes Marist a
perfect site for any rowing '
enthusiast to compete at a high
level..
. September marked the
beginning of a new year for the
Marist College crew program
h1:re ~t th,e college.
• • Even though crew is
predominantly a spring sport,
many collegiate programs
squeeze in as much time on the
water as they can before the
~l:~~h~£~lOP~.
c2o_p~r~;ing, _
And
in Poughkeepsie, -the
change in weather is upon
them.
Last year's season ended on
a
high note when Marist's
. women's Lightweight boat
captured a bronze medal at the
· Dad Vails race in Philadelphia.
The annual competition at
, Dad Vails selects teams based
on their merit from the previous
spring season.
. Before the Red Foxes came
away with a bronze medal in the
spring of 1995, no Marist boat
, had ever finished high enough
to warrant a medal at Dad Vails.
That showing assured both
Marist teams a trip back.
The Crew program at Marist
has been part of the school's
tradition for most of the
institution's existence.
This .year marks the crew
program's third season under
coaches Ed Clark (women's·
head coach) and Scott Sanford
(men).
•
The arrival of Clark and
S.anford
fo.
1993 reyitalized the
·programs, being
the cause of
its resurrection ..
According to women's co-
captain Vicki Werwin, "The
team has become bigger and
better sinc_e
my sophomore
year (1993-94). A lot of the kids
now have been exposed to
Crew d_µring
high school, so
more and more of the freshmen
have experience."
In fact, it is the freshmen
who have made the greatest
impact this year.
After a two moriths of early

Police task force asSign~d.t~•lll.()iutor

byMwcARUM
. Staff Writer
A new police task force had
been created to monitor off-cam..:
pus Marist parties.
On Oct. 2, Dean Peter Amato
sent out a one-page letter.to··all
full-time off-campus students, in-
fonning them that a meeting was
held between the college, the
City of.Poughkeepsie Police de-
partment and the city'sCorpq.;
rate Council regarding the.behay-
•
iorof students off-campus .. ··•
..
In the letter, Amato told the stu-
dents that the police have.now
set up a special. task force '!as-
signed to investigate parties
held by students. in the city."
Amato said that there wereno
• more complaints l;lbbutsriidehts

Lisa Gaeta,
a
seniorwho lives
on Taylor street, said that she d1d

that.there was any legiti-
mate problem in her neighbor-
hood;
..
• "lthink.thht the students on
my block are very respectful of
the families thatHve here," Gaeta
said. "During the weekend,
sometimes there are.parties, but
they are always under control. "

Tim Massie, Marist's public
relations director, said he hears
firSt hand some of the complaints
voic~ by residents.
"lget
a
lot of calls both at work
and at home by concerned citi-

are great. Sometimes, though a
few can get out of.hand.'_'

Paul Sullivan, anattomey who
represents Marist, was also at the
meeting· held ..
b.etween the city
and the school.
• He said that the overall tone of
the meeting was very positive.
"We realized that continuous
actions by certain individuals
adversely affect the school's im-
age asa whole," Sullivan said.
''The police said that they would
take certain steps and the college
also pledged it's commitment to
help solve the dilemma.''
No details about the size and
strength of the task force were
made available and City of
Poughkeepsie Police Chief Neil
Polay was unavailable for com-

MIPO distributing poll results nationwide
Surveys to be televised from Syracuse, NY to Savannah, GA
byMELANIEFFSTER
Staff Writer
The Marisflnstitute for Pub-
lic Opinion (MIPO) has found a
new way to communicate its poll
results to the nation.
The weekend of Oct 21, MIPO
filmed two videos in the Lowell
Thomas television studio with
its most recent poll results.
They will send these videos
to 19 television stations across
the nation to be aired on their
news programs.
MIPO directors Lee Miringoff
and Barbara Carvalho and MIPO
intern Heather Kowadla have
spent the last several months
marketing the video to the news
stations.
So far, according to Miringoff,
around 10 percent of the coun-
try
will now be using the video
for its news programs.
"We have established a net-
work of TV stations that will be
a part of this Marist Poll for the
November sweeps," Miringoff
said. "The new market is reach-
ing places from Syracuse, NY,
to Savannah, GA, to Gincinnati,
OR"
Carvalho said that the video
is a good opportunity for MIPO
to expand its outreach.

vote to secede from Canada
MONTREAL (AP) -
Chastened
by a narrow, nerve-wracking vie-
.
tory over Quebec separatists,
.Canada's federal leaders on
Tuesday began the daunting task
of trying to put the divided na-
tion back together.
The separatists, unbowed,
pledged to mount another
breakaway attempt in mostly
French-speaking Quebec. But
undercurrent law, it couldn't hap-
pen for a few years.
They also fueled divisiveness
by blaming their defeat on non-
francophone immigrants. Police
reported 40 arrests after support-
ers of the rival sides brawled, and
a homemade bomb was found at
offices of the federalist Liberal
Party.
There was little celebration in
the federal capital, Ottawa, where
Prime Minister Jean Chretien met
with his Cabinet to discuss the
impact of Monday's indepen-
dence referendum.
The federalists' narrow
victory
dissatisfaction," Dubuc wrote.
'They were incapable ofpropos- ,
ing a message of hope to them
and giving their vote some mean-
ing."
Quebec's separatist premier,
Jacques Parizeau, caused a furor
with his bitter non-concession
speech Monday night in which
he blamed big business and eth-
nic minorities for thwarting the
will of the French nationalist ma-
jority.
"The sort of very negative
petty politics that he displayed
were rather disgusting," said
Deputy Prime Minister Sheila
Copps. "He was looking for
someone to blame, and in his
agenda it's the ethnics, the non-
whites."

by Kristin Richa_rd
Staff Writer
Marist students often complain
about rolling out of bed in time
for 8:00 classes.
But students at the Culinary In-
stitute of America (CIA) begin
cooking breakfast for their earli-
est class at 2:00 in the morning.
The CIA, located in Hyde Park,
is considered by chefs and bak-
ers to be one of the top culinary
schools in the United States.
John A. Martino, a 1989 gradu-
ate of the CIA, said the status
and reputation of the school
helps its graduates claim some
of the top jobs in the industry.
"Being a graduate of the CIA
has opened a lot of doors in the
food service industry, being rec-
ognized world-wide," Martino
said.
Jon Lipinski, a second-year stu-
dent at the CIA, said the
workload at his school includes
21
months
of
classes,
extemships, and hands-on expe-
rience.
However, Lipinski said al-
though the school demands • a
great deal of time and commit-
ment from its students, the expe-
rience gained is worth it.
"Our school is the Ivy League
of all culinary schools," Lipinski
said. "It is the best in the coun-
try, and for that reason, the stu-
dents have to stand up to it."
Lipinski said after 21 months,
students graduate from the CIA
with an Associate's degree.
According to this year's CIA
course outline, students can also
earn their
B.A.

additional schooling.
Lipinski, who commutes from
his home in Poughkeepsie, said
the best part about the CIA is
the broad range of knowledge it
exposes students to.
"They give you a taste of ev-
erything, and you can always
learn more about what you're
doing," he said.
According to the CIA catalog,
it is the only residential college
in the world dedicated solely to
the culinary arts.
Lipinski said he likes that the
entire school is devoted to pre-
paring students for careers in the
food industry.
"It is the single most concen-
trated area of expertise," Lipinski
said. "When you go to school,
everybody in that school has
something to do with cooking."
Lipinski said the staff at the
CIA makes the school stand out
from others.
"The chefs are among the top
in the world. They could just sit
dowli and talk about experience
for hours each day," he said.
Martino, now the executive
chef of a New Jersey country
club, said the instructors stand
out as the best in the industry.
"One of.the greatest chefs and
my mentor is Bruno H. Ellmer, an
instructor at the CIA, who has
led me and inspired my career
goals," Martino said.
Lipinski said the instructors al-
ways encourage questions from
students, and they arc con-
stantly seeking new infonnation
about the culinary arts.
"It's a field where you can never
possibly know everything be-
cause it's constantly changing,"
he said.
Although Lipinski said he
loves his school, he said it is not
perfect.
According to Lipinski, the CIA
needs to upscale its curriculum.
"They need to reform the cur-
riculum because the school is
starting to get more and more of
a name," he said.
Lipinski said the school was
set up to handle between 15 and
20 students in a class. However,
he said now the classes have
about 25 students each.
Lipinski said a possible reason
for this is because he thinks the
CIA has lowered its admission
standards.
Lipinski said he needed at least
six months of a solid cooking
career when he applied, but this
is no longer mandatory.
"I don't think its fair that where
I had credentials, there are now
people who got in there with six
months of wait staff," he said.
Lipinski said the school may be
lowering its standards because so
many people want to get into the
field.
However, he said most of the
students are still extremely seri-
ous about learning. He said this
is due in part to the maturity level
of most of the students, since the
average student is 26 years old.
According to Lipinski, all CIA
students take courses on table
service, restaurant management,
how to run a kitchen, wines and
menus, and kitchen and restau-
rant design.
Martino said all of these aspects
of the culinary arts are very im-
portant, and the school provided
him with a great deal of informa-
tion required for his career.
"It
has given me one of the great-
est foundations and understand-
ings of food and the applica'lions
of it," Martino said.
Lipinski said the students gain
a great deal of experience at the
CIA, and during their fifth tenn,
they cook for the four campus res-
taurants.
The CIA restaurants offer
American, French, and Italian cui-
sine. The fourth restaurant, St.
Andrew's, serves health food.
Lipinski said on average people

Marijuana use rises nationally, but not seen as pressing issue on-campus
by Jeaninne Aviles
Staff Writer
Bongs, bowls and blunts.
According to a Federal survey,
young people are becoming more
involved in the world of drugs
and the paraphernalia that goes
along with it.
Teenage activists in the United
States are fighting to legalize a
drug, which others say it is the
_beginning of the end for people
who try it and get hooked.
This drug is marijuana.
The survey reported that mari-
juana use among teens has al-
most doubled since 1992.
. As reported in
The New York
Times,
the survey adds that fewer
young people say they consider
marijuana to be a great risk.
Joseph Leary, the director of
Safety and Security, said when
he worked with a drug aware-
ness task force, they believed it
could lead to further addictions.
"Not all people who smoke
marijuana go on
to
crack
?r
heroin, but every crack or herom
addict started with marijuana,"
Leary said.
According to Leary, there are
students on campus who avoid
the advice of those who protest
against marijuana use.
Leary said these students con-
tinue to use it, but they are either
not distributing it or not getting
caught.
According to Leary, the mari-
juana that is found on campus is
for personal use, and it is not be-
ing sold.
"We don't run into any prob-
lems as far as trafficking in marl-
. juana," Leary said. "If we run
into information on somebody
trafficking,
we'll
get the
Dutchess County Drug Task
Force in.
President Murray has said from
the beginning
that if we see any
kind of a drug problem on this
campus, he wants the cops in,
he wants an investigation, he
wants people locked up, and he
doesn't care about the head-
lines," Leary added.
Freshmen Jennifer Altman, a
computer information systems
major from New Jersey, said she
sees marijuana use in her dorm,
but it is only a problem with the
people who abuse it.
"It is a problem with some
people more than others,"_
Altman said.
Most of the drugs that are con-
fiscated are found when stu-
dents are away on breaks.
Leary said security often dis-
covers it during winter interces-
sion or over summer break.
He said if the people come back,
security questions them, and
they claim they do not know
where it came from.
According to Leary, security
• .cannot do much by way of ar-
rests if they do not find the per-
son actually using or in posses-
sion of the marijuana or parapher-
nalia at the time.
"We'll come across it and
they'll say, 'I don't know how it
got there.' We're not in a posi-
tion to say 'we got your finger-
prints on that leaf of marijuana.'
It doesn't work that way," Leary
said.
Leary said often security can-
not connect the drugs with the
users.
"We'll come up with this stuff,
but there's no bodies attached
to this stuff. You'll find it in the
hallways and stuff like that,"
Leary said.
Leary said that although mari-
juana use seems to be increas-
ing in the world around Marist,
there does not seem to be an im-
mense increase in marijuana use
within the college.
"(Marijuana use) is pretty
much on a level," Leary said, "I
would like to say it's going down,
but very honestly, we don't get
that much evidence of marijuana
to say it is increasing or it is de-
creasing."
Senior Lauriellen Stimpson, a
pre-med major from Connecticut,
said she thinks marijuana is
heavily used on campus.
- "I don't smoke it, but I know a
lot of people that do. I just
choose not to use it. I don't see
what's so great about it,"
Stimpson said.
Leary said he collected the
small arrangement of unusual
marijuana paraphernalia on his
office shelf from many donns
since last semester. With such a
display, Leary said it does makes
it impossible to ignore that there
are students who do smoke mari-
juana.
"It's not a big problem, but
marijuana is being used on cam-
pus," Leary said. "I'd go so far
as to say that if anybody in a
college setting says there's no
marijuana on this campus they're
lying to you."
Leary said most of the marl.:
juana is found in the dorms, and
not on the North End. For this
reason, freshmen and sopho-
mores are primarily the groups
that security focuses on.
Leary said this does not mean
there is no marijuana use on the
North End of campus. Rather,
security does not just walk into
the residences to look around.

lege Activities Office.
At times, Anderson said he has
had problems with security at
Maris! and at other colleges.
"Because I'm a vendor, they
don't care about what I need,"
Anderson said.
Anderson said he wonders
why certain colleges, excluding
Marist, do not allow him to dis-
play any items that portray alco-
hol, such as the Guinness tees
and flags.
"What, are students going to
go out and say I must go and get
a car and get drunk and knock
someone down? I don'.t think
so," Anderson said.
Most students seem to enjoy
the opportunity to shop on cam-
pus, and they could be seen con-
gregating around Anderson's
table throughout the day.
Senior Erin Green gave Ander-
son a thumbs up, complete with
a shiny new silver ring.
"The prices arc pretty good,
and he (Anderson) is great. He
knew exactly what I needed. He
knew my style and my size,"
Green said.
There is a reason that the prices
of these Irish products arc so low.
"There arc very good reasons
for not ripping people off. I at-
tract more people with low prices
and, therefore, I make more
money," Anderson said.
Unfortunately, people do not
always wan! to pay. After about
three hours at Marist, Anderson
said he noted that two purses
were missing.
"Girls steal just as often as
guys," Anderson said. "It's like
a disease. When they have to
try on every ring, it's like they
need a fix."
Anderson said people often
ask him what many of the differ-
ent Celtic designs mean. He ex-
plained that he would have to go
back to college in order to un-
derstand the meanings of all the
symbols. However, he said not
everything has a meaning.
"Sometimes it's just an artist
doing a doodle," Anderson said.
Working as a vendor for Irish
American International Co. is
Anderson's full-time job. Ander-
son said he hopes to stick this
job out for another five years, so
he can move back to Ireland and
"live in peace."
Diet and~':lifestyle
key factors 'in ·preventing breast cancer·
hyKelly.

Staff Writer
Cathy Acunto wakes up at
5
a.m. six days a week to row with
the Women's Crew team here at
Marist.
Acunto said what she hadn't
considered at 5.a.m. was that she
may actually be lowering her
chances of getting breast cancer.
"At this age, I don't even feel
that breast cancer relates to me ...
especially since no one in my
family has it," said Acunto.
Despite the common belief that
breast cancer is only hereditary,
latest research is finding diet and
lifestyle in younger women to be
key factors in avoiding the dis-
ease.
According to the National Can-
cer Institute, there is a link be-
tween diets high in fat and breast
cancer. Fruits, vegetables, and
food high in fiber, for example,
may help prolong or even pro-
hibit the disease.
Theresa Constantino, a
37-
year-old woman who doctors
consider in the age bracket pri-
marily at risk for breast cancer,
said that diet is not the main con-
cern for most college students ...
studies are.
'.'Young women need to know
that what you eat now probably
will affect you later. I feel that
women have a higher risk of can-
cer than men do because we
have more fat cells, said
Constantino;
The Marist employee also said
that substituting lemon and black
pepper for butter or cooking with
beans and natural grains could
help lower the fat in stufents' di-
ets.
Acunto continues to lower her
risk of acquiring the disease with-
out even realizing it. As a young
athlete she refrains from almost
all alcohol.
Research is showing a correla-
tion between high levels of alco-
hol intoxication
in young
women, especially th,ose women
who have a family history of
breast cancer.
Marist's Registered Nurse,
Linda Schaffer, said that occa-
sionally students will go to health
services on campus because of
pain or discomfort in the breast
area.
"Their first reaction is that they
are frightened; My first concern.
is their stress level, general health
history, and how long they have
been monitoring the change.
Usually it is due to an increase in
. alcohol or even caffeine," said
Schaffer.
The Marist nurse also said that
environment, age, and activity are
important elements oflifestyle in
women and breast cancer. She
said that studies are linking smok-
ing to not only lung cancer, but
breast cancer too.
Acunto is a non-smoker.
Research has shown that envi-
ronmental pollutants of all kinds
may be tied in with the disease.
Breast cancer is the second to
lung cancer in causing deaths
among women in the U.S.
According to Schaffer, age is a
serious risk factor in acquiring
the disease. She said that al-
though breast cancer more com-
monly strikes women in their 40s,
there are no gaurentees as to
who the cancer attack.
Schaffer said that women in •
their early 20s may detect mal-
formations in their breasts that
are typically non-cancerous. If
cancer is detected among this

age group, however, the disease
is a more rapid growing one than
that of elder women.
Program Director at the
Dutchess County branch of the
American Cancer Society, Valerie
Scheying, said that the most im-
portant thing students should
know right now is to be active.
Scheying said that by conduct-
ing monthly Breast Self-Examina-
tions (BSE) young women will be
able to detect changes.
"Early detection is key. You
pay your monthly bills, you do
your BSE," said Scheying.
Marist's Health Services en-

"It's not something usually
addressed (to males) by physi-
cians interestingly enough, but
it's like any other part of the
body," said the program director.
Although the J

Cancer
Facts and Figures, updated an-
nually by the American Cancer
Society, found that 183,400 mil-
lion women in the U.S. will be di-
agnosed with breast cancer-
46,240 men and women will die
from it.
Did
You Know?
*
Studies show that more
young black women are
not smoking and are there-
fore decreasing their breast
cancer risk.
*
Japanese women face
the least risk of all attrib-
uted to their low-fat diet.
*
The U.S., Britain, and
the Netherlands have the
highest rate of breast can-
cer tumors and also the
richest diet.
*
Birth control pills and
other hormonal medicine
have not been directly
linked to breast cancer.
*
Obese women have a
harder time detecting
breast cancer tumors early
and therefore are at more
risk for the disease.

of the day for the press when
President Bill Clinton and

After waiting approximately
ten embarrassing
minutes,
while the rest of th·e press

press and we were permitted
to pass.

Presidential summit reveals
a
lot more than just politics
Marist is still basking in the floods
of publicity it has received from par-
ticipating in· Jast week's presidential
summit.
.
...
•
In fact, I think,Marist gained more
from the event than The White House.
Several days prior.to the summit, lo-
cal media reported on the college's
endless efforts to take care of a11 the
physical preparations for Clinton's
visit.
On Monday Oct. 23, the day two of
the world's most powerful leaders de-.
scended upon Hycle
Park,
focal and
international
media flocked
to
FDR's
Estate. And who was included in· a
bulk of the interviews? Mari st admin-
istrators, employees and student vol-
unteers.
I was fortunate enough to work with
the White House Advance Team, pre-
paring the library and grounds for the
event, and saw first-hal)d how much
work was needed forOt:lie six-hour
meetini
..
Marist donated everything from
staging and televisions to carpeting and
rope. And it. was a team· of student
volunteers who placed every last nut
and bolt at the library.
The college's Mechanical Services
department must be commended too,
for the amount of ti~e they spent
building a two-level stage for the me-
dia in front of FDR's hoine. Neither
torrential rains or-pools d't;rriud stopped
this crew from completing their task,

As a symbolic gesture, President Lyndon Johnson Inaugurated his Great Society

Because, after all, as NewYork Senator Daniel PatrickMoynihail._so
aptly put it,
"The elderly vote, and kids don't" And that is putting it mildly.
·_
The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) has a strong membership
of33 million that are known·fo.r turning_out in drnves on.election day.
(Which is why the debate does not focus on the real financial burden ori the
federal budget,social security~)
.
Conversely,the ,ower and working classes have·a notoriously poor turnout for
elections, and in many cases, c_lfe
noteven registered voters.
Even
a
powerful lobbying group like the AARP has not kept Medicare off the
·chopping
block.
.
.
.
Over the course of the next seven years, 51 percent of the budget will be elimi-
nated from Medicare, the health care assistance for the elderly.
.
•
·
The hope is to piJlage the program into bankruptcy, or, as the Speaker put it, cause
Medicare to "wither on the vine."
•
The assault on Medicare is thinly veiled beneath the GOP facade of balancing the
budget.
However, there are no false pretenses about the elimination of Welfare:
,
The program has long been target of conservatives, who often talk about "welfare
queens" ..
•
Apparently, conservatives feel that $200 a month is a luxurious sum of money for
less fortunate families: They also seem to think that three meals a day is too many
forthe nation's children, as seen by the gutting of the.school lunch program.
Of course, if children are hungry during school, they will be distracted from learn-
ing, which seems to fit in nicely with the budget massacre.
Under the plan, college loans will be harder to get, and the money will be less.
There will also be hidden truces adding $700 to $2500 in costs per student.
Not to mention that colleges will be forced to pay a fee for each loan it gives.
This means that even the select few who actually managed to salvage something
from a substandard education in a crime-ridden, poorly financed public school
system, will not get the opportunity in the future.
So, not only would you not be in college looking at this newspaper, you would not
even be able to read the words in front of you.
•
It is painfully obvious that something needs to be done about the ever~inflating
?ebt. How~ver, what d~ not. ~eed to be done is to reduce spending by punishing
mnocent chtldren and semor c1t1zens.
•
_
Granted, there are abuses within these programs, but for the most part these are
necessary programs that help those in need.
Of course, since the GOP does not give a damn about those with financial hard-
ships, they should at least be consistent, and not take food out of children's mouths
while giving handouts to
the
very wealthy.

Since no one in the Marist: Ad~inistration seems to be doing so, I
just wanted to inform all seniors that you rriust apply for graduation
in the Registrar's Office by November 4th. Everyone would know
this had the administration loosened their tight pockets and shelled
out money for postage
..
on important campus mail. Instead, they
seemingly forgot to inform all commuters that we have an on-cam-
pus mailbox that gets all this important campus mail. Where is the
difficulty in sending this mail to the addresses we gave
to
the regis-
trar at the beginning of the year? Once again,Marist lets me down in
the way it handles itself, clearly a reflection on the administration.
So if you are a commuter, especially a senior, go to the mail room for
a key to your mailbox and check it regularly. Do not forget to apply
for graduation by November 4th. Also, let the administration know
that you are displeased with their performance. It is the only way to

Where is· Marist College Radio?
F.ditor:
I write this Jetter in response to the flood of questions I and other
members ofMarist College Radio (WMCR) have been receiving over
the past weeks. For those of you who are freshman, you may not
realize that Marist College does have a radio station completely staffed
and operated by students. For those of you who know that WMCR
does exist, you may be asking yourself, "Where did WMCR go, and
why can't I find it on my radio dial?"
•
Over this past summer, WMCR and its members were finally granted
their
_wish:
to move and expand the radio station. Working with the
College.Activities Office, we have been able to move the station's
position to a newly built, spacio_us locatiqn that will be a,ble to sat-
isfy our needs as a growing campus radio station. Along with the
construction of the new station, we have been able to purchase new
equipment such as a professional double-disc
.compact
disc player,
and refurbjs_h,sc.m~e.ofourold
equipm_ent, such as.the rewiring of the.
•
board. Also, we now have a professional technician that is oversee-
ing the relocation of the station's antenna to a more preferable posi-
tion thatwill significantly increase our broadcasting range.
Although
_all
of these new physical things are impressive and excit-
ing, they do not constitute the most fondamentill change that has
occurred.over the summer. WMCR has a new attitude. I would like
to thank
.an
of the members of WMCR for the support they have
shown as the radio station tries to get back on the air. More impor-.
tantly,J
_would
also like to personally thank each and every indi-
vidual on the WMCR management team. This group of outstanding
.
individuals have,put in long hours of hard work and effort trying to
inake this year the best ever .. In my opinion, they have accomplished
their jobs withflying colors, breathing new signs of life into Marist
Coll\!ge Radio.
•
MarisiC~llege Radio is now located in the Student Center, down the
haH behind the.College Activities Office: At the moment, we are
putting the finishing touches on our expansion, and plan to open
riormal operations on November 8th.·I encourage everyone to stop
by, visit, and see what WMCR is all about. Remember, after the 8th
of November, tune your radio to 90.1 WMCR, Marist College Radio.

This is a good thing.
Some people grew up "here",
some people "there", some
people even "way over there",
etc., etc.
Due to the fact that I often
spend a large amount of my time
thinking about silly useless
things, I have found that an
easy way to figure out where
your peers grew up is to ask
them about- the games they
played as a kid.
"When you were·a
'lil
shaver
what did you throw at each
other? What was the long dis-
tance weapon of choice?"
.
Now we all know that kids
throw stuff at each other.
It is· like the in thing to do as a
kid-girls included, I think.
How they ~nswer this ques-
tion will tell you about the envi-
ronment that they grew up in.
If the answer is "We threw
dirt bombs at each other," that
means that, more than likely,
they grew up in the suburbs.
In the surburbs there are al-
ways new houses being built,
hence lots of heavy dirt laying
around to chuck at each other.
(Further research has deter-
mined that the reason they were
called dirt bombs is because
·/.r~i
If the answer is "We threw
rocks at each other," that means
that the subject that you are
studying grew up in a much more
"city" environment.
Because in the city, there are.no
dirt bombs, and the only readily
accessible itein is broken pave-
ment and little rocks and pebbles.
I think this may be part of the
reason that people from the city
environment are less timid, as a
whole, than people from the
'burbs.
Because when a little kid hits
you with a rock, it hurts.
By the way, if the answer to this
simple question is something like
this,·
"Uh ... uh ... we
threw
...
uh.
..
uh
...
mnm ... umrn ... errr
...
,''
then it seems obvoius that what-
ever the object being tossed
about was, this kid sure must've
got hit alot-
and probably on
the head.
( Or maybe this just proves that
this kid lived to close to power
lines.)
There are other responses to
this question that I have yet to
run into, but make sense.
If somebody answers that they
threw cow chips at each other, it
is a safe bet that they grew up in
the general vicinity of a farm.
Threw
sticks
at each
other ... grew up in the woods.
Threw snow balls at each
Professor's
Podium
Or even more specific ... they
exclusively threw baseballs at
each other-a coaches kid, I'm
sure.
Speaking of which, the varia-
tion of baseball that was played
as a kid is a good indicator of
where that person grew up as
well.
The kids who played real au-
thentic Wiffle-brand wiffle ball
( with the yellow bat and the
.
cheap plastic ball) arc mostly
from the suburbs.
But if you played stick ball
with a broom stick and a hand
ball, you are most likely from a
more urban area.
All kids play home run derby
when they play baseball, (be-
cause it is hard to find enough
kids to field teams), and how
they detenninc what a home run
is, is also a good indicator
of
where they grew up.
"Home runs are three shrubs
past the driveway," is a suburb
response.
"Home runs are four manhole
covers past the parked Chevy,"
is a typical urban response.
So with these few insights you
to can impress and amaze your
friends with your ability to fig-
ure out just where they grew up,
and only by asking them a few
simple questions.

when I heard that "Mallrats,"
Kevin Smith's new flick was out,
I was first in line for tickets. Well,
I should have saved my money,
because "Mallrats" is pathetic in
comparison to "Clerks."
In "Mallrats," Jeremy London
and Jason Lee play T.S. and
Brody, two guys who get dumped
by their girlfriends. Brody's girl-
friend Rene, is played by
Shannen Doherty in a real stretch
of a role as the bitchy, nagging
girlfriend (Brenda?) Brandy is
T.S. 's girlfriend, and her father
produces a cheesy teen dating
show that's on-location at the
mall; she is going to be a contes-
tant on the show, and this pisses
T.S. off, so they break up.
T.S. and Brody see the error of
their ways, so they go hang at
the mall to try and win their girl-
friends back. At the mall, they·
run into Jay and Silent Bob, ba-
sically two losers who spend
their days hanging out at the
mall. Silent Bob is actually Kevin·•
Smith the director who, true to
his name, stays pretty quiet
throughout the movie.
Brody sends Jay and Silent
Bob on a mission: to sabotage
the dating show, and make
Brandy's father look stupid on
national television.
(As
if embar-
rassing your girlfriend's father
will bring her running back).
They spend the whole movie try-
ing to ruin the show, only to fail
miserably each time they try.
This is the whole basis for the
movie: grungy, trendy teenagers
hanging around the mall. Brody
and T.S. discuss such elevated
topics as butt-wiping and anal
sex, while they search diligently
for Rene and Brandy. They even
go to a· three-nippled fortune
teller to find out if their women
wiJl come back to them.
Rene is being pursued by a
store manager in the mall; she
goes to visit him for his lunch
break, but ends up getting down
with Brody in the mall-elevator.
This movie has more than its
share of dirty jokes and bad hu- •
mor, which I found more stupid
and annoying than funny. It's
the kind of movie that will appeal
to horny little prepubescent brats
in junior high. Most of my
friends are over jokes that in-
volve bodily functions.
I'm a bit sick of the whole
"grunge" trend, and it will never
die if movies like this keep resur-
recting interest in baby tees and
barrettes,
especially
when
they're on Shannen Doherty.
Brody is an opinionated, aggra-
vating character who spouts his
feelings on every subject from en-
vironmental
issues
to
homophobia-
by the end of the
film, I really wanted to hit him,
just to shut him up.
T.S. and Brody get two of the
contestants on the dating show

Although the best might be
gone, watchers can still find vi-
brant beauty throughout the
scenic countryside of Millbrook,
Dutchess County.
Millbrook, located a half an
hour east of Marist, contains a
unique charm that many people
fall in love with .. The rolling hills
and open fields are similar to
England's hunt country. In fact,
one might actually see horses
and hounds while driving
through the area along Route 44.
The best spot to begin a tour
of Millbrook is at Allyn's Res-
taurant for Sunday brunch. On
Route 44, Allyn's is located in

The
Jayhawks:
A
little bit of country
mixed
with a bit of rock
·_an~

by
Scorr
WYMAN
Staff Writer
Use the term "country-rock" as
the answer to the query of what
•
kind of music you enjoy, and·
you' re setting your self up for
some criticism. Unfortunately, all
one has to do is mention the word
"country" and automatically im-
ages of big
lO
gallon hats and
Hee-Haw reruns are conjured up.
But the release of "Tomorrow
The Green Grass" by The
Jayhawks proves that music that
has roots in both country and
rock doesn't have to be boring.
"Tomorrow The Green Grass"
·
is the follow up to 1992's criti-
cally acclaimed "Hollywood
Town HaW', and is another album
chock full of the same soulful
blend of folk, country and Ameri-
can rock 'n '. roll. Where ''Town
Hall" had the alternative/pro-
gressive radio hit "Waiting In the
Wings'', ''Tomorrow The. Green
Grass" will surely have at least a
hit or two.

• • Up untHthis-part of the sea-

cross country team appeared
. to be in synch.
The Red Foxes were pro-
ducing some personal best
times and finishing well over-
all, which may have been the
result of the. team .finally be-

But on Saturday, at Tatum
Par in New Jersey, things did
not go as planned at the North-:-
east Conference Champion-
ships.
Head coach Pete .Coalizzo
did not go so far as to say the
meet was a complete disaster
but admitted he was more dis-
appointed than anything else.
"We were hoping for a third
place finish and it.just did not
happen for us." .
•
Marist placed fifth'in the
league out of the possible 10
schools
that
competed.
Mount S_aint Mary's (Md.)
dominated the meet and fin-
ished in first place with a low
score total of 30.
Following them in the stand-
ings was Rider College, finish-
ing a somewhat distant sec-
ond with 65 points.

he could not put his finger on
what exactly went wrong for
his team over the weekend:
"I'm not-sure what hap-
pen€?d;

said. •

He finished the race with
a time of

After
32
years of coaching,
"the f!1ther of Marist soccer",
Doctor Howard "D_oc"
Goldman,
coached his l_ast-game_.
·
Goldman ended his coaching
career on Tuesday with a 4-0
shut-out over S.U.N.Y. Oneonta.
After graduating with a Physi-
cal Education degree from
S.U.N.Y. Cortland in 1952,
Goldman taught. and coached
soccer at Plymouth State College
. in New Hampshire.
In 1963, he came to Marist tak-
ing over as Athletic Director,
Chainnan of Physical Education,
and as Marist's first men's soc-
cer coach.
"Doc" Goldman has led the
Red Foxes to two NCAA Divi-
sion II tournament appearances
as well as winning the ECAC,
Marist's first ever Eastern Colle-
giate Athletic Conference cham-
pionship.
Goldman led
the
men's soccer
program into Division I play in
1981, where his team finished 12-
6-1.
In 1985, Goldman accumulated
his 200th win and this past Sept.
3 he captured his 250th victory.
During half-time of his final
game, Goldman, introduced as
"the father of Marist soccer'', was
honored by Athletic Director,
Tim Murray for his 32 years of
coaching.
"He's a guy whose been
coaching with young people for
33seasons, he has tremendous
wisdom. Without question, it is
not going to be easy to replace
Doc Goldman," Murray said.
But coaching soccer was
only part of Goldman's impact_
upon his players. Goldman al-·
ways emphasized the impor-
. tance of academics.
.
Co-captain and four-year
varsity letterman,
Garrett
Golisano shared his thoughts
on his coach.
"I've talked with lots of
coaches from other schools,
and he was the only coach that
stressed academics at the col-
lege level.
That really says something

Hudson River makes Marist a
perfect site for any rowing '
enthusiast to compete at a high
level..
. September marked the
beginning of a new year for the
Marist College crew program
h1:re ~t th,e college.
• • Even though crew is
predominantly a spring sport,
many collegiate programs
squeeze in as much time on the
water as they can before the
~l:~~h~£~lOP~.
c2o_p~r~;ing, _
And
in Poughkeepsie, -the
change in weather is upon
them.
Last year's season ended on
a
high note when Marist's
. women's Lightweight boat
captured a bronze medal at the
· Dad Vails race in Philadelphia.
The annual competition at
, Dad Vails selects teams based
on their merit from the previous
spring season.
. Before the Red Foxes came
away with a bronze medal in the
spring of 1995, no Marist boat
, had ever finished high enough
to warrant a medal at Dad Vails.
That showing assured both
Marist teams a trip back.
The Crew program at Marist
has been part of the school's
tradition for most of the
institution's existence.
This .year marks the crew
program's third season under
coaches Ed Clark (women's·
head coach) and Scott Sanford
(men).
•
The arrival of Clark and
S.anford

1993 reyitalized the
·programs, being
the cause of
its resurrection ..
According to women's co-
captain Vicki Werwin, "The
team has become bigger and
better sinc_e
my sophomore
year (1993-94). A lot of the kids
now have been exposed to
Crew d_µring
high school, so
more and more of the freshmen
have experience."
In fact, it is the freshmen
who have made the greatest
impact this year.
After a two moriths of early
morning fall practices, men's
co-captain Chris Nielson also
said the arrival of the new class
bodes well for the future of the
team.
"The freshmen look really
strong," Nielson said. "They
