Prior to its affiliation with the
national

the SCA had been
officially recognized by the Na-
tional Labor Relations Board as an
in-house union, according to
Elizabeth Jaycox, elected chairper-
son of the SCA and secretary in the
Division of Science.

The clerical workers are not the
first Marist group to affiliate with
an outside union. Maintenance and
dining hall workers are members of
the Local 200 General Service
Employees Union, AFL-CIO.
The administration's two year
salary offer that included the no-
unionization clause would have
given secretaries for the first year
an .increase of 4.5 percent retroac-
tive to July 1 and then an addi-
tional 4.5 percent from Jan. 1, 1985
to
June 30. The increase for these-
cond year would be 4 percent on
July 1, with a second 4 percent add-
ed on Jan. 1, 1987.
ln addition, the administration

by Sue Hermans
·•
The new director of alumni af-
fairs wants to see ·a relationship
develop between current students
and Marist alumni.
Susan Rexer, who filled the posi-
tion vacated by Bryan Maloney in
October, said her door is always
_
open to undergraduate students
• who want to discuss specific career
ideas with Marist grads already in
the field. She added that one of the
functions of the alumni office and
the alumni chapters in New York,
Boston and Philadelphia is job
networking.
Before coming to Marist, Rexer,
28, was informatfon officer.for the
Minnesota Department of Educa-
tion Tor three years. She served as
assistant editor for the MOE mon-
thly ne~spaper, coordinated the in-
ternal communications program
and organized a variety.of events.
Rexer said she hopes to sponsor
enough events throughout the year
so there is something to appeal to-
every alumni. She plans to in-
troduce more cultural and educa-
tional events to complement the
sporting events which are held now.
She also wants to get new groups
of alumni involved with the college,
especially women.
The alumni chapters located
around the country serve mainly as
social organizations for.the Marist
-
graduates involved, Rexer explain-
.
eel; but their existence is of real
benefit to the college_.
"We want the alumni to st<tY
in-
volved and interested because any
success to those grads ii; a success
to the school," Rexer said. "A
group that is successfuladds to the.
prestige of the college and its ap-
peal to the community."
Although Rexer took the posi-
tion Jan. 2 ancl is still feeling her
way around, she said she feels right
for the· position. She is able to get
along with all types of people, a
necessary ingredient for success in
such
a
people-oriented job, she
said.
•
Maloney was alumni director for
six years before taking a similar
post at Manhattan.College last fall.
Prior to working for MOE, Rex-
er was a news assistant for the Min-
neapolis Star and Tribune: She also
worked as a radio news reporter
and a television
production
assistant.
_She
graduated from the Univer-
sity of Minnesota-Duluth with a
degree in communication

political science.

Anthony Dutera's roommates
remember him as a bright kid who
loved school.
Both were with Butera when he
was involved over winter vacation
in an auto accident that later claim-
ed
his life.
"He was very involved in in-
tramurals and clubs and activities,"
said roommate Mike Nolan,
•
of
Farmingdale,
L.l.
"He was a big supporter of
Marist basketball and went to most
away games this season," said his
other roommate, John Miller, of
Bullville, N.Y. "He was an
easy
going guy and
easy
to live with ..
-
We're really
going
to miss him."
Butera, a 19-year-old sophomore
majoring in computer science at
Marist, died Jan. 13 after spending
two weeks in the hospital. Butera,
also
of Farmingdale, was heading
for a day of
street
hockey games
with Nolan, Miller and other
friends on Jan. 31 when the acci-
dent occurred.
Nolan and Miller, both 19, were
with Butera in the car al the time
of the acciden1.

"Tony and Mike had just pick-

were
pulling out of the driveway
onto a major road, a car hit us on
the driver side door where Tony
was. The car was knocked across
the road."

Larry Striegel loved baseball so
much as a boy that he went to Shea
Stadium every day. As he watched
the gatne, he thought about how to
get into the stadium every day for
free.
.
"I knew I couldn't be a player,
and I didn't know about umpires,"'
said Strieeel. 28.
"I
didn't want to
be
a
ero;nds keeper or a peanut
seller~ so I decided the only thing
left was to become a sportswriter."
Striegel, a 1979 ~farist grad,
d:dr,·1 ~ulfill his early ambition to
hang out in the dugout, but he did
pursue his interest in journalism.
He is now a reporter for the
Poughkeepsie Journal.
But his route from the childhood
dream of being a reporter. to the
reality of deadlines, editors a·nd a
desk in the news room was not a
direct one. Among the paths
Striegel followed after college were
volunteer work in rural Georgia, a
summer in Ireland and a stay with
after
marist
.....
a group of priests and brothers in
Appalachia and the deep South
while he himself prepared
.to
become a priest or a brother.
Striegel
interned
at
the
Associated Press in New York for
two semesters during his junior
year at Marist. He often tagged
along with the more experienced
reporters and said that the intern-
ship was excellent training.
Striegel began working full time
at the AP two days after gradua-
tion in l\fay 1979. But the pressures
of working a New York City beat
began to take a toll and he found
himself questioning his choice of a
career. In September 1981 he left
his position as night city editor at
the AP, and moved to Georgia to
live with a priest.
It was community work in a
town of 6,000. For eight months he
refereed kids'_ football
;games,.-
taught reading to the retarded,--
organized fund raising drives for·
the
poor, and wrote for the local
weekly paper.
He
spent· the following summer
hitchhiking throughout
Ireland
with a frierid and decided in the fall
to
_live
with the Glenmary Home
Missioners, a group of about 100
priests and brothers in Otiio who
•
perform their missionary work in
the rural South where there are few
Catholics. He also began working
toward a degree in religious stu_dies
at the University of Dayton. But
Striegel never stopped writing - he
wrote for the campus paper, the
Flyer News. "I couldn't get away
from newspapers," he admitted.
In the summer of 1983, Striegel
began working as a copy editor for
the Dayton Daily News. It was a
difficult summer for him, he said,
and at the end of it he decided to
leave Glenmary and return to jour-
nalism full time.
He had just completed his
master's degree at Ohio State
University in August 1985 and was
looking for work when ~limi
McAndrew, city editor at the
Poughkeepsie Journal, called with
a job offer.

-A-
new
look
With the start of _the spring semester the Circle staff has taken
our own advice. We have looked back. And we now look forward.
We are proud of our accomplishments last semester in repor-
ting the news as accurately, fairly and as timely as possible. Still,
we will strive to maintain that quality and to further develop tlie
paper in other aspects.
We have started with design changes to update the paper
cosmetically.
But, as usual, there is more to it than meets the eye.
The changes are illustrative of the newfound perspective, in-
novation and spirit we've developed.
A new look brings with it a new opportunity to keep moving
in the right direction. A fresh view of the paper and the Marist
community will enable us to better define our job and to con-
tinue to do it well.
We are proud of our initial changes and look forward to a
'challenging semester.
We hope you will like the changes too.
Room for changes
In early November, President Dennis Murray said that although
space on. the first floor of the Campus Center will be used for
a faculty dining room, students will benefit from the current
renovation and reassignment of campus offices. No doubt, the
formation of the Personal Development Center was a positive
move.
But trying to squeeze Special Services into Health Services' old
office was not.
Last week a petition was being circulated to protest the drastic
cut in the space ~nd to request the office be moved to a more
appropriate location.
.

the real
world-
Special Services is currently forced to deal with lack of suffi-
cient space for disabled students who can not even turn their
wheelchairs around in the office, noise distractions from dorm
activities and complications in maintaining confidentiality in the
small office.
Murray said in Novemher that the installation of the faculty_
dining room is "in-the i.>~:.t
interest of the campus." Were.there:
.· no alternative locations to consider? Would not locating the din-
ing room in the basement of Fontaine and allowing room in the
Campus Center for Special Services be a better option?
Reagc1n is
a
wimp
Special Services is not the only group on campus that says it
needs space. Student leaders say they are concerned about a
significant need for more club and activity space.
_
In addressing the student government leaders and club -
presidents at a meeting last week, Cox said he understands that.
the students· need more than just classroom and dormatory space.
However possible plans to open more space up for students
seem hinged upon the completion of the Lowell Thomas Com-
munications Center. Cox said that space in the basement of the
building might be used for music rooms, for example.
But some student leaders believe that the right to claim space
in the Campus Center should have never been taken awayfrom
the students to begin with. _
.
After finding out about the plans for the faculty dining room,
Chuck Hall, president of the Emergency Medical Service on cam-
pus, sent a formal letter to Cox (signed by other student leaders)
requesting space in· the Campus Genter for student_ use.
.
While Murray had said earlier in the year .that the installation
of the new faculty dining room would
allow
the students to have
sole use of the Candlelight room in the cafeteria, this is no great
gain for the students. Clubs and activities have already been us-
ing that room for some time now.
Cox also said at the meeting that he is trying to free up
classrooms 248 and 248A in the Campus Center for student lec-
tures, meetings and activites.
The administrative decision to install the new faclty dining room
in the Campus Center has been made. Or so it seems. But the
seemingly lack of concern for student input has aroused questions
from the students. pnce again the need for communication bet-
ween student affairs administration and the students has surfaced.
Cox has agreed to address the student leaders regularly at club
presidents meetings on any issues of stuaent concern. This sho_uld
allow the representative students to get answers for their ques-
tions, as well as give input on future issues.
However, while there seems to be room for change with student-
administration communication, Special Services' still need both
room and change. What will be done about this?

First off, a lot of people have
been asking me about - Donald
Manes and Bernard Goetz. I have
no idea why. With Manes, I
couldn't care much less. Whether
it's a scandal, a tragedy·or a case
of media hype, it shouldn't be a
surprise. That's New York City.
As for the murder charges
against Goetz being dropped: To
tell you the truth, I care even less •
than
I do about the Manes affair.
As somebody has pointed out, it is
deliciously ironic that Goetz has
benefited greatly from the same
Byzantine judicial • incompetence -
that he was railing against in the
. first place.

his hdad!
·we've gotto take a hard line
against these thugs. We're dealing
with a guy wh·o can't even spell his
own name! He doesn't know
whether it's Kaddafi, Quaddafi,
Khadaffi, or Smith. And we can't
even· find the guts to smash his
puny little country to bits.
Two years ago, we managed to
find a· worthy opponent just our
size: So we pulled off a stupendous
militar.y. victory over Grenada.
Well, now it's time to move up a
notch and do· some serious butt-
kicking. Uke the song says: " ..
. to the shores of Tripoli!"
But good-old Ronnie Reagan is
so concerned about the Americans
left over in Libya. He doesn't want
them to get hurt. during _an inva- ·
sion. Isn't that nice? Well, I say,
being arrested for sedjtion isn't
good enough for them: If they
want·to be Libyans, let them die
like Libyans! Same goes for the
Europeans over there. No· sense -
holding. up a good bloodbath on
account of some traitors! Send the
troops tomorrow!
And this goes for the rest of the
mid-east, too. The fact is, those
seven Americans held in Beirut
have all been hostages longer than
the 444 days the Iranian hostages
were in Tehran. One of the seven
has been reported to have been kill-
ed. What is Ronald Reagan doing •
about it? Nothing! Unless he's do-
ing something like his South
African constructive engagement.
Let's face it, once and for all:
Ronald Reagan is a wimp. Pure
and simple. No better than Walter
Mondale. He's a lily-livered,

This has led to

rejection of well-documented
techniques of creative thinking.

subjects, they attempt to take as
limited.)
.
Meanwhile, it is a poorly-kept
.
secret that the current academic
product (students) is increasingly
many of them as early as possible
in the college sequence, delaying or
actually avoiding the basic subjects.
,
Paradoxically, these students
report that: •
~
(1) The real-world information is
confusing, ambiguous, ambivalent,
and~ .. above all, too abundant for
.them to follow. Access to newly
emerged computer data-bases com-
-
pounds this problem.
..
(2) Many of these students expect
to l~rn the routines and pro-
cedures
of the "practical"
disciplines by rote. They are shock-
ed and resentful when they discover
that - because of the rapid genera-
tion of new information and new
concepts (frequently adapted, with
a slight lag, from_ the classic
regimens) -
they are expected to
assemble, for themselves: the deck
of intellectual structures required.
This, of course, is normal in real-
life situations.
(3) The information explosion is
obviously an element which com~
pounds their problem,
.as
it does
that of anyone teaching·at the c<>l-
lege level.
(4) Computer technology and
data-base proliferation
should
make more knowledge available to
them, in more concise forms. It
.
does not appear to doso, because:

This is clear in two recently
reported trends: (a) the search by

such origanizations for students
(b)
They do not understand
presentations of business and com-
munications theory, because they
have not been properly exposed to
classical theories derived from the
liberal arts, upon which practical-
ly all business and scientific con-
cepts are based. Hence, they have
difficulty perceiving in any real
depth the significance of the "real-
world" material.
Popularization of basic ideas in
various-
instant-management
volumes (best - sellers like "In
Search of Excellence") play some
role in bridging this gap, but en-
courage conceptual faddism and,
yet again, imprecisely employed
jargon.
(5) Many students have been
taught, on the secondary level, to
look for the one right way to do
things, which they expect to play
with thorough liberal arts groun~
•
ding, as oppossed to a repertoire of
rote-learned business/technology
courses. (b) the effort, by these
business
and • governmental
organizations to take over, on the
graduate level, the responsibility
for training such new employees -,-
effectively taking the job of real-
life exposure out of the hands of
conventional colleges and graduate
school~.
(It is common knowledge that
tl}e larger advertising agencies,
media organizations,-and big cor-
porations are seeking English,
History, and foreign-language ma-
jors whom they can train in terms
of their direct needs, rather than
re-
training fuzzy-thinking technically-
educated applicants whose heads
are stuffed with obsolescent infor-
mation and faddist concepts which
impede creativity).
Some of us take refuge in the
ivory-tower appro_ach, sticking to
our own narrow areas of intellec-
tual specialization. Is this an ab-
.
dication of our responsibility to
establish the relationship between
such subjects and an outside
world? Others of us, in the attempt
to relate to the real world, find
ourselves teaching pop courses, try-
ing to entice students to make the
connections with the liberal arts
context for themselves. All too fre-
quently, it is necessary to retreat to
rote learning, for lack of any bet-
ter means to verify some sort of
learning. Is this not also an abdica-
tion of. responsibility?
Four questions can be raised:
(1) The issue of holistic knowledge:
Are we so preoccupied with our
own "real worlds" (parenthetical-
'
ly, the world of philosophy is cer-
tainly as real as the world of
marketing, is it
-
not?) that we do
not adequately perceive how the
various real-worlds fit together?
And hence, are we even in a posi-
tion to pass along such perceptions
to our students?
(2)
The issue of synchronization:
Have we really succeeded in fin-
ding adequate ways to make our
courses interlock, fitting them
together in synergistic patterns
which enhance our students'
abilities to learn?
(3) The issue of sequence:
Does a laissez-faire attitude per-
mit students to
enroll
in
so-called
real-life". subj~cts prematurely,
before they are mentally prepared
to benefit from the information of-
fered in such courses?
To what extent must we ensure
(if necessary enforce) a continuing
.
dialogue bl!tween classical and
practical courses over the four
years of undergraduate college?
(4)
The issue of creativity:
Are we making an adequate ef-
fort to encourage and enhance ge-
nuine creative thinking in a struc-
tured way? Both in specific courses
on this subject (not disguised as
creative writing, art, or dressmak-
ing), and as formal study units built
into the conventional courses?
On this last score, the input of
real-world information (whether it
be about Nicaragua, advertising for
new Campbell's solups, or com-
parison of alternataive word-
processing programs) seems to pro-
duce startling response from ge-
nuinely creative students. It also
encourages appreciation of innova-
tion among the less. creative,
defeating their blind insistence on
rote learning and their search for
the Only Right Answer. Above all,
it encourages the entire commtmi-
ty toward greater tolerance of am-
biguity, the occasional confusion
involved in the incubation of new
ideas, and the uses of non-
conformity in constructive ways.

tising at Marist .

Guitarist Warner Hodges·settled
the issue.
"It's just three-chord rock'n'roll
coming from Nashville, Tenn.," he
said.
"It's

and
rambunctious."
Hodges was added, and Jason and
the Scorchers were formed.
After blazing a trail through the
clubs and honky-tonks. of the
south, the_ band was signe_d to
Praxis Records, an independent
label in Nashville. Their first
album, Fervor was soon released.
With good press and. word-of-
mouth spreading like wildfire, the
Scorchers soon found themselves

songwriting strength lies in their.
versatility. Although Ringenberg's·
compositions comprise the main
thrust,-the other members also con~
tribute. In fact, each musician·
·penned at least 09e song on their
EMI-America debut, Lost and

"We basically got our record
deal from Jason's songwriting
skills and our live show," said
Hodges.

Fusing the urgency of punk and

upon a sound that is uniquely their

In a recent telephone interview,.
Hodges went on to explain the
realities. that major label support
has brought them.
"There's definitely a lot more
pressure
now:
We had to realize
that we're·now playing hardball."
Taking their music one step fur-
ther, the Scorchers move as if the
stage itself was on fire·. And just
when a song is abouuo crumble

brings it back together.

not a one-hit-wonder band. I don't

The first stage.of your return was
packing the car . .While you_
tried to.
cram-a month's worth _of clean
clothes, 15 Christmas presents and
a stereo into the back seat of a
Nova, your mother called off a list
of things she KNEW you forgot,
and your father frisked you for car
keys .
The trip was fairly uneventful,
but once you ·got out of the car you
were in for it. While you wanted to
go talk to your friends, whom you
hadn't seen for four weeks, your
parents seemed to be laboring
under the ridiculous notion that
you were supposed to be helping
them unpack the car. For some
reason they often get rather vocal
about it.
Once the car was unloaded and
everything was in your room, you

.
Unless you had an 8:15 on Tues-
day, your first. concern was pro-
bably financial in nature. Did you
have enough money to buy books,
or was the bank lobbing rubber
checks a~ you? If you did have to
. deposit money, and it was in the
form of a check, you faced yet
another hassle - sutviving the first
week or two of school with no
books or notebooks.
Get ready to borrow sheets of
paper from everyone within a fi~e- .
desk radius, sit in the back of "the
classroom so the professQr can't see· •
what you aren't writing and, above .
.all, keep your head down .. · .··,
' The surest way to get-called on -
in class is to look like you've
already finished taking notes and
you're actually listening to _the lec-
ture. Before you know it, the
teacher will foolishly assume you
'know what he's talking about.
•
Of course, in some courses you
don't. have to. worry about not hav-
ing a book, because the book isn't
there to buy. If only a few old
copies are available, _
either make
some new friends or prepare to
flunk a few quizzes.
.
:
•
If there are no copies of the book
available, don't worry about it. Sit
back and enjoy. For curiosity's
sake, see what lengths the teacher
will go to in order to getthe books,
and preserve not only his sanity, .
but his syllabus.
•
All in all, the first week or two
of the semester are interesting, to
say the least. They are chaotic and
frustrating, but they're over with
soon-enough. Then you have some
real fun - the rest of the semester.

learning disabled students are not
dumb; they just need extra help."
Perreira explained that most in-

how to deal with a particular stu-

Perreira commented that she

talk about learning disabled

"If
we could make the
faculty aware of the disabled

went on to say that the faculty are
very accommodating, however.

~
their old anarchic ways again .•
Some of them hope to abolish
their student government for the se-
cond time in five years·; and there
are signs that, in the process, they
may help feed a reform wave now
washing over student governments
nationwide.
Schools. as -di'}erse as • Notre
Dame, Washington, Swarthmore
and Minnesota - among dozens of
others -
have been grappling
• recently with measures to restruc-
ture, weaken and, in some cases,
get rid of their student governments
altogether.
It wouldn't be the first time .
. • Five years ago, reformers at
Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Clinch
Valley
College,
Oklahoma,
Arizona, Arkansas and Maryland,
among other campuses, moved to
dissolve all or parts of their cam-
pus governments.
In most cases, reformers argued
the governments were ineffective or
meaningless. They actually suc-
ceeded in abolishing governments
at Texas and Georgia.
At both those campuses, ad-
ministrators
eventually helped
rebuild student governments.
But now at Texas and some
other campuses, reformers are at it
again.
In · October UT sophomore
Richard Munisteri, along with a
handful of fellow members of
Young ·conservatives of Texas,
sued UT President William Cunn- .
ingham and Student Association
President Scott Scarborough for
using SA's mandatory student sers
vice fees to endorse certain
Democratic candidates for state
office.
Before long, the controversy
grew into an abolition movement
that collected some 700 signatures
to get a dissolution measure on the
next campus ballot.
Munisteri now says his groups -
C~P (Cc;,mmittee
to Retire Aspir-
. ing Politicians)
and STOMP
(Students Tired of Manipulative
Politics) -
will "just sit on the
issue" until spring.
"It took four years to get the
issue of reinstating the SA on the
ballot. It took two weeks to get the
issue of dissolving it on the ballot,"
Munisteri says.
Such interest seems to be
spreading.
Students for a Better and Balanc-
ed Education (SBBE), composed
primarily of College Republicans
members, tried to weaken New
Mexico's student government by
drastically reducing its budget last
fall, hoping to deny school funding
to gay and ethnic groups.
While the Republican effort lost
by a 10-1 margin, it did increase
voter turnout in the subsequent
campus-wide election.
And though New Mexico's stu-
dent government's vote of con-
fidence was strong, it was singular.
At
many schools, talk of reform
and reorganization usually reflects
a serious lack of confidence.
At Notre
Dame, members of the
Hall
Presidents' Council tried
dissolving
the Student Senate
because
"it
doesn't get anything
done."
One-fifth of
Bradley University's •
student
senators resigned because
their
organization
was "travelling
down the wrong
road."
The University
of Tampa recent-
ly formed committees to
reorganize
the student governmenr
and its
constitution. A Villanova junior,
charging "the current government
is
inefficient
and
stagnant,"
is
fighting to eliminate two vice
presidential positions
as part of a
major reform proposal.
•
To forestall discontent,
Brigham
Young's student government has
a
hotline to let students air
com-
plaints and a "Student Body Presi-
dent for a Day" contest,
giving
students a chance to learn firsthand
how their system works.
Swarthmore Student Council
co-
President Reijen Naidoo
is propos-
ing drastic changes in his organiza-
tion, and one SC member says stu-
dent awareness of the issue
is
"fantastic."
And, as happened five years ago,
dissatisfaction ,.,ith student govern-
ments is also sho,,ing up in increas-
ing
numbers
of.
absurdist
candidacies.
Faced with a choice between
silliness and seriousness, Eastern
11-
li 10is students elected a Silliness
P
trty
candidate running on a plat-
ferro of "graft, corruption and
lies."

But Striegel said a reporter can-
not remove himself totally from the
people and events he writes about.
"If you can't put yourself in the
shoes of another person, you may
not do a very good job," he
explained.

Striegel, a Poughkeepsie resi-
dent, is assigned the city beat. He
covers Poughkeepsie Town Board
meetings and writes about topics
such as local elections, traffic
studies, area development and
•
layoffs that affect local families.
He admitted that some of the
:
tqpics he covers can be mundane.
"It's the scoops that keep you
charged," he said:

never earned.the college d_egree_
he
claimed to have. The candidate
subsequently admitted that his
claim was false and removed
himself from consideration for the
position.
Striegel said he had mixed feel-
ings about exposing the man's lie.
"I feel crappy about disgracing so-
meone," he-said. "The guy wanted
to be a public servant and hold the
purse strings for the Town of
Poughkeepsie. People need to
know they can trust someone
in
that position
with their tax
money."
Striegel acknowledged
that
reporting on so much of the bad in
life can make one cynical. "I still
trust people while remembering it's
a weird world, and you have to be
open for that," he said.
Although Striegel saici that five
years from now he would still like
to be a reporter - perhaps at a big-
ger paper - or sit at the copy desk.
But he realizes he may
be
wrong.

tober, Galleher said.
.

The

was made after 31
weeks of unsuccessful negotiations
with the administration. The last
seven weeks of active negotiations
included
a' requested
federal
mediator from the Federal Media-
tion and Conciliation Service in
-
Albany:
✓
Prior to its affiliation with the
national
1union,
the SCA had been
officially recognized by the Na-
tional Labor Relations Board as an
in-house union, according to
Elizabeth Jaycox, elected chairper-
son of the SCA and secretary in the
Division of Science.
•
The clerical workers are not the
first Marist group to affiliate with
an outside union. Maintenance and
dining hall workers are members of
the Local 200 General Service
Employees Union, AFL-CIO.
The administration's two year
salary offer that included the no-
unionization clause would have
given secretaries for the first year
an .increase of 4.5 percent retroac-
tive to July 1 and then an addi-
tional 4.5 percent from Jan. 1, 1985
to
June 30. The increase for these-
cond year would be 4 percent on
July 1, with a second 4 percent add-
ed on Jan. 1, 1987.
ln addition, the administration
•
offered to do a salary survey of
secretarial levels.
"We agree that the offer was
what we had wanted in terms of
money. But money is not the only_
issue here. We didn't think that we

According
to
Jaycox, SCA
members have seen a history of ciif-

ficulties in negotiating with the ad-
ministration for salaries and the
SCA members no longer trust the

As for the t,vo studehts si~ted

there's simply nothing that points

Butera
by Sue Hermans
·•
The new director of alumni af-
fairs wants to see ·a relationship
develop between current students
and Marist alumni.
Susan Rexer, who filled the posi-
tion vacated by Bryan Maloney in
October, said her door is always
_
open to undergraduate students
• who want to discuss specific career
ideas with Marist grads already in
the field. She added that one of the
functions of the alumni office and
the alumni chapters in New York,
Boston and Philadelphia is job
networking.
Before coming to Marist, Rexer,
28, was informatfon officer.for the
Minnesota Department of Educa-
tion Tor three years. She served as
assistant editor for the MOE mon-
thly ne~spaper, coordinated the in-
ternal communications program
and organized a variety.of events.
Rexer said she hopes to sponsor
enough events throughout the year
so there is something to appeal to-
every alumni. She plans to in-
troduce more cultural and educa-
tional events to complement the
sporting events which are held now.
She also wants to get new groups
of alumni involved with the college,
especially women.
The alumni chapters located
around the country serve mainly as
social organizations for.the Marist
-
graduates involved, Rexer explain-
.
eel; but their existence is of real
benefit to the college_.
"We want the alumni to st<tY
in-
volved and interested because any
success to those grads ii; a success
to the school," Rexer said. "A
group that is successfuladds to the.

Marist, died Jan. 13 after spending
two weeks in the hospital. Butera,
also
of Farmingdale, was heading
for a day of

Larry Striegel loved baseball so
much as a boy that he went to Shea
Stadium every day. As he watched
the gatne, he thought about how to
get into the stadium every day for
free.
.
"I knew I couldn't be a player,
and I didn't know about umpires,"'
said Strieeel. 28.
"I
didn't want to
be
a
ero;nds keeper or a peanut
seller~ so I decided the only thing
left was to become a sportswriter."
Striegel, a 1979 ~farist grad,
d:dr,·1 ~ulfill his early ambition to
hang out in the dugout, but he did
pursue his interest in journalism.
He is now a reporter for the
Poughkeepsie Journal.
But his route from the childhood
dream of being a reporter. to the
reality of deadlines, editors a·nd a
desk in the news room was not a
direct one. Among the paths
Striegel followed after college were
volunteer work in rural Georgia, a
summer in Ireland and a stay with
after
marist
.....
a group of priests and brothers in
Appalachia and the deep South
while he himself prepared
.to
become a priest or a brother.
Striegel
interned
at
the
Associated Press in New York for
two semesters during his junior
year at Marist. He often tagged
along with the more experienced
reporters and said that the intern-
ship was excellent training.
Striegel began working full time
at the AP two days after gradua-
tion in l\fay 1979. But the pressures
of working a New York City beat
began to take a toll and he found
himself questioning his choice of a
career. In September 1981 he left
his position as night city editor at
the AP, and moved to Georgia to
live with a priest.
It was community work in a
town of 6,000. For eight months he
refereed kids'_ football
;games,.-
taught reading to the retarded,--
organized fund raising drives for·
the
poor, and wrote for the local
weekly paper.
He
spent· the following summer
hitchhiking throughout
Ireland
with a frierid and decided in the fall
to
_live
with the Glenmary Home
Missioners, a group of about 100
priests and brothers in Otiio who
•
perform their missionary work in
the rural South where there are few
Catholics. He also began working
toward a degree in religious stu_dies
at the University of Dayton. But
Striegel never stopped writing - he
wrote for the campus paper, the
Flyer News. "I couldn't get away
from newspapers," he admitted.
In the summer of 1983, Striegel
began working as a copy editor for
the Dayton Daily News. It was a
difficult summer for him, he said,
and at the end of it he decided to
leave Glenmary and return to jour-
nalism full time.
He had just completed his
master's degree at Ohio State
University in August 1985 and was
looking for work when ~limi

-A-
new
look
With the start of _the spring semester the Circle staff has taken
our own advice. We have looked back. And we now look forward.
We are proud of our accomplishments last semester in repor-
ting the news as accurately, fairly and as timely as possible. Still,
we will strive to maintain that quality and to further develop tlie
paper in other aspects.
We have started with design changes to update the paper
cosmetically.
But, as usual, there is more to it than meets the eye.
The changes are illustrative of the newfound perspective, in-
novation and spirit we've developed.
A new look brings with it a new opportunity to keep moving
in the right direction. A fresh view of the paper and the Marist
community will enable us to better define our job and to con-
tinue to do it well.
We are proud of our initial changes and look forward to a
'challenging semester.
We hope you will like the changes too.
Room for changes
In early November, President Dennis Murray said that although
space on. the first floor of the Campus Center will be used for
a faculty dining room, students will benefit from the current
renovation and reassignment of campus offices. No doubt, the
formation of the Personal Development Center was a positive
move.
But trying to squeeze Special Services into Health Services' old
office was not.
Last week a petition was being circulated to protest the drastic
cut in the space ~nd to request the office be moved to a more
appropriate location.
.

the real
world-
Special Services is currently forced to deal with lack of suffi-
cient space for disabled students who can not even turn their
wheelchairs around in the office, noise distractions from dorm
activities and complications in maintaining confidentiality in the
small office.
Murray said in Novemher that the installation of the faculty_
dining room is "in-the i.>~:.t
interest of the campus." Were.there:
.· no alternative locations to consider? Would not locating the din-
ing room in the basement of Fontaine and allowing room in the
Campus Center for Special Services be a better option?
Reagc1n is
a
wimp
Special Services is not the only group on campus that says it
needs space. Student leaders say they are concerned about a
significant need for more club and activity space.
_
In addressing the student government leaders and club -
presidents at a meeting last week, Cox said he understands that.
the students· need more than just classroom and dormatory space.
However possible plans to open more space up for students
seem hinged upon the completion of the Lowell Thomas Com-
munications Center. Cox said that space in the basement of the
building might be used for music rooms, for example.
But some student leaders believe that the right to claim space
in the Campus Center should have never been taken awayfrom
the students to begin with. _
.
After finding out about the plans for the faculty dining room,
Chuck Hall, president of the Emergency Medical Service on cam-
pus, sent a formal letter to Cox (signed by other student leaders)
requesting space in· the Campus Genter for student_ use.
.
While Murray had said earlier in the year .that the installation
of the new faculty dining room would
allow
the students to have
sole use of the Candlelight room in the cafeteria, this is no great
gain for the students. Clubs and activities have already been us-
ing that room for some time now.
Cox also said at the meeting that he is trying to free up
classrooms 248 and 248A in the Campus Center for student lec-
tures, meetings and activites.
The administrative decision to install the new faclty dining room
in the Campus Center has been made. Or so it seems. But the
seemingly lack of concern for student input has aroused questions
from the students. pnce again the need for communication bet-
ween student affairs administration and the students has surfaced.
Cox has agreed to address the student leaders regularly at club
presidents meetings on any issues of stuaent concern. This sho_uld
allow the representative students to get answers for their ques-
tions, as well as give input on future issues.
However, while there seems to be room for change with student-
administration communication, Special Services' still need both
room and change. What will be done about this?

First off, a lot of people have
been asking me about - Donald
Manes and Bernard Goetz. I have
no idea why. With Manes, I
couldn't care much less. Whether
it's a scandal, a tragedy·or a case
of media hype, it shouldn't be a
surprise. That's New York City.
As for the murder charges
against Goetz being dropped: To
tell you the truth, I care even less •
than
I do about the Manes affair.
As somebody has pointed out, it is
deliciously ironic that Goetz has
benefited greatly from the same

that he was railing against in the

·we've gotto take a hard line
against these thugs. We're dealing
with a guy wh·o can't even spell his
own name! He doesn't know
whether it's Kaddafi, Quaddafi,
Khadaffi, or Smith. And we can't
even· find the guts to smash his
puny little country to bits.
Two years ago, we managed to
find a· worthy opponent just our
size: So we pulled off a stupendous
militar.y. victory over Grenada.
Well, now it's time to move up a
notch and do· some serious butt-
kicking. Uke the song says: " ..
. to the shores of Tripoli!"
But good-old Ronnie Reagan is
so concerned about the Americans
left over in Libya. He doesn't want
them to get hurt. during _an inva- ·
sion. Isn't that nice? Well, I say,
being arrested for sedjtion isn't
good enough for them: If they
want·to be Libyans, let them die
like Libyans! Same goes for the
Europeans over there. No· sense -
holding. up a good bloodbath on
account of some traitors! Send the
troops tomorrow!
And this goes for the rest of the
mid-east, too. The fact is, those
seven Americans held in Beirut
have all been hostages longer than
the 444 days the Iranian hostages
were in Tehran. One of the seven
has been reported to have been kill-
ed. What is Ronald Reagan doing •
about it? Nothing! Unless he's do-
ing something like his South
African constructive engagement.
Let's face it, once and for all:
Ronald Reagan is a wimp. Pure
and simple. No better than Walter
Mondale. He's a lily-livered,
yellow-bellied, ferret-faced, thin-
skinned, bleeding-heart, turn-the-
other-cheek, · inky~binky, dipsy-
doodle, quiche-eating, hyphen-
mongering, no-good, cold-footed,
flower-sniffing wimp. And his
limousine is probably made in
Japan.
This country was founded on
strong men making strong deci-
sions and stic_king
by them.This is
the-land of Teddy Roosevelt, for
God's sake! Now here's Ronald
Reagan, too scared to attack
Nicaragua,
or Lebanon,
or
Afghanistan, or Angola. Not ma!f ·
enough to turn Libya into a park-
ing lot, which the world could
always use. a few more of. No
wonder so many of our young boys --
idolize this Madonna character! .
What this country needs, what

civilians, but I ain't seen an innoa
cent one yet! What's more impor-
tant, anyway? Our national pride

We need a leader who's not

(2) Many of these students expect
to l~rn the routines and pro-
cedures
of the "practical"
disciplines by rote. They are shock-
ed and resentful when they discover
that - because of the rapid genera-
tion of new information and new
concepts (frequently adapted, with
a slight lag, from_ the classic
regimens) -
they are expected to
assemble, for themselves: the deck
of intellectual structures required.
This, of course, is normal in real-
life situations.
(3) The information explosion is
obviously an element which com~
pounds their problem,
.as
it does
that of anyone teaching·at the c<>l-
lege level.
(4) Computer technology and
data-base proliferation
should
make more knowledge available to
them, in more concise forms. It

does not appear to doso, because:

This is clear in two recently
reported trends: (a) the search by

,
such origanizations for students
(b)
They do not understand
presentations of business and com-
munications theory, because they
have not been properly exposed to
classical theories derived from the
liberal arts, upon which practical-
ly all business and scientific con-
cepts are based. Hence, they have
difficulty perceiving in any real
depth the significance of the "real-
world" material.
Popularization of basic ideas in
various-
instant-management
volumes (best - sellers like "In
Search of Excellence") play some
role in bridging this gap, but en-
courage conceptual faddism and,
yet again, imprecisely employed
jargon.
(5) Many students have been
taught, on the secondary level, to
look for the one right way to do
things, which they expect to play
with thorough liberal arts groun~
•
ding, as oppossed to a repertoire of
rote-learned business/technology
courses. (b) the effort, by these
business
and • governmental
organizations to take over, on the
graduate level, the responsibility
for training such new employees -,-
effectively taking the job of real-
life exposure out of the hands of
conventional colleges and graduate
school~.
(It is common knowledge that
tl}e larger advertising agencies,
media organizations,-and big cor-
porations are seeking English,
History, and foreign-language ma-
jors whom they can train in terms
of their direct needs, rather than
re-
training fuzzy-thinking technically-
educated applicants whose heads
are stuffed with obsolescent infor-
mation and faddist concepts which
impede creativity).
Some of us take refuge in the
ivory-tower appro_ach, sticking to
our own narrow areas of intellec-
tual specialization. Is this an ab-
.
dication of our responsibility to
establish the relationship between
such subjects and an outside
world? Others of us, in the attempt
to relate to the real world, find
ourselves teaching pop courses, try-
ing to entice students to make the
connections with the liberal arts
context for themselves. All too fre-
quently, it is necessary to retreat to
rote learning, for lack of any bet-
ter means to verify some sort of
learning. Is this not also an abdica-
tion of. responsibility?
Four questions can be raised:
(1) The issue of holistic knowledge:
Are we so preoccupied with our
own "real worlds" (parenthetical-
'
ly, the world of philosophy is cer-
tainly as real as the world of
marketing, is it
-
not?) that we do
not adequately perceive how the
various real-worlds fit together?
And hence, are we even in a posi-
tion to pass along such perceptions
to our students?
(2)
The issue of synchronization:
Have we really succeeded in fin-
ding adequate ways to make our
courses interlock, fitting them
together in synergistic patterns
which enhance our students'
abilities to learn?
(3) The issue of sequence:
Does a laissez-faire attitude per-
mit students to
enroll
in
so-called
real-life". subj~cts prematurely,
before they are mentally prepared
to benefit from the information of-
fered in such courses?
To what extent must we ensure
(if necessary enforce) a continuing
.
dialogue bl!tween classical and
practical courses over the four
years of undergraduate college?
(4)
The issue of creativity:
Are we making an adequate ef-
fort to encourage and enhance ge-
nuine creative thinking in a struc-
tured way? Both in specific courses
on this subject (not disguised as
creative writing, art, or dressmak-
ing), and as formal study units built
into the conventional courses?
On this last score, the input of
real-world information (whether it
be about Nicaragua, advertising for
new Campbell's solups, or com-
parison of alternataive word-
processing programs) seems to pro-
duce startling response from ge-
nuinely creative students. It also
encourages appreciation of innova-
tion among the less. creative,
defeating their blind insistence on
rote learning and their search for
the Only Right Answer. Above all,
it encourages the entire commtmi-
ty toward greater tolerance of am-
biguity, the occasional confusion
involved in the incubation of new
ideas, and the uses of non-
conformity in constructive ways.

Since their-inception, Jason and
the Scorchers have been labeled
everything from southern rock to
country-punk, cow-core to roots
0
rock.
Guitarist Warner Hodges·settled
the issue.
"It's just three-chord rock'n'roll
coming from Nashville, Tenn.," he
said.
"It's
• real
loud
and
rambunctious."
Hodges was added, and Jason and
the Scorchers were formed.
After blazing a trail through the
clubs and honky-tonks. of the
south, the_ band was signe_d to
Praxis Records, an independent
label in Nashville. Their first
album, Fervor was soon released.
With good press and. word-of-
mouth spreading like wildfire, the
Scorchers soon found themselves

,been a maturing process for us."
Jason
and the· Scorchers'
songwriting strength lies in their.
versatility. Although Ringenberg's·
compositions comprise the main
thrust,-the other members also con~
tribute. In fact, each musician·
·penned at least 09e song on their
EMI-America debut, Lost and
Found; last year ..
"We basically got our record
deal from Jason's songwriting
skills and our live show," said
Hodges.

whether the band could match the

Fusing the urgency of punk and
the aesthetics of country, Jason
and the Scorchers have stumbled .
upon a sound that is uniquely their
own. Their authenticity can be at-
tributed to roots founded in the
country.tradition. As a youngster
Hodges travelled with hjs parents
who were session musicians for

than five years - a relatively short
amount of time for a young band.
In a recent telephone interview,.
Hodges went on to explain the
realities. that major label support
has brought them.
"There's definitely a lot more
pressure
now:
We had to realize
that we're·now playing hardball."
Taking their music one step fur-
ther, the Scorchers move as if the
stage itself was on fire·. And just
when a song is abouuo crumble
around them, Hodges' guitar
brings it back together.

for success Hodges said, "We're
not a one-hit-wonder band. I don't
even know if we'll have· hits. But
right now we've got to break out
of this cult-status thing."

The first stage.of your return was
packing the car . .While you_
tried to.
cram-a month's worth _of clean
clothes, 15 Christmas presents and
a stereo into the back seat of a
Nova, your mother called off a list
of things she KNEW you forgot,
and your father frisked you for car
keys .
The trip was fairly uneventful,
but once you ·got out of the car you
were in for it. While you wanted to
go talk to your friends, whom you
hadn't seen for four weeks, your
parents seemed to be laboring
under the ridiculous notion that
you were supposed to be helping
them unpack the car. For some
reason they often get rather vocal
about it.
Once the car was unloaded and
everything was in your room, you

murray
-
spent talking to your friends and
orderinh 0ut for pizza.
.
Unless you had an 8:15 on Tues-
day, your first. concern was pro-
bably financial in nature. Did you
have enough money to buy books,
or was the bank lobbing rubber
checks a~ you? If you did have to
. deposit money, and it was in the
form of a check, you faced yet
another hassle - sutviving the first
week or two of school with no
books or notebooks.
Get ready to borrow sheets of
paper from everyone within a fi~e- .
desk radius, sit in the back of "the
classroom so the professQr can't see· •

in class is to look like you've
already finished taking notes and
you're actually listening to _the lec-
ture. Before you know it, the
teacher will foolishly assume you
'know what he's talking about.
•
Of course, in some courses you
don't. have to. worry about not hav-
ing a book, because the book isn't
there to buy. If only a few old
copies are available, _
either make
some new friends or prepare to
flunk a few quizzes.
.
:
•
If there are no copies of the book
available, don't worry about it. Sit
back and enjoy. For curiosity's
sake, see what lengths the teacher
will go to in order to getthe books,
and preserve not only his sanity, .
but his syllabus.
•
All in all, the first week or two
of the semester are interesting, to
say the least. They are chaotic and
frustrating, but they're over with
soon-enough. Then you have some
real fun - the rest of the semester.

Perreira explained that most in-

Perreira commented that she

"If

very accommodating, however.

• . StUdent gov'ts to end?
by
Susa~ Calhoun
.
• AUSTIN, TX (CPS) - Univer-
sity of Texas students are up to
~
their old anarchic ways again .•
Some of them hope to abolish
their student government for the se-
cond time in five years·; and there
are signs that, in the process, they
may help feed a reform wave now
washing over student governments
nationwide.
Schools. as -di'}erse as • Notre
Dame, Washington, Swarthmore
and Minnesota - among dozens of
others -
have been grappling
• recently with measures to restruc-
ture, weaken and, in some cases,
get rid of their student governments
altogether.
It wouldn't be the first time .
. • Five years ago, reformers at
Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Clinch
Valley
College,
Oklahoma,
Arizona, Arkansas and Maryland,
among other campuses, moved to
dissolve all or parts of their cam-
pus governments.
In most cases, reformers argued
the governments were ineffective or
meaningless. They actually suc-
ceeded in abolishing governments
at Texas and Georgia.
At both those campuses, ad-
ministrators
eventually helped
rebuild student governments.
But now at Texas and some
other campuses, reformers are at it
again.
In · October UT sophomore
Richard Munisteri, along with a
handful of fellow members of
Young ·conservatives of Texas,
sued UT President William Cunn- .
ingham and Student Association
President Scott Scarborough for
using SA's mandatory student sers
vice fees to endorse certain
Democratic candidates for state
office.
Before long, the controversy
grew into an abolition movement
that collected some 700 signatures
to get a dissolution measure on the
next campus ballot.
Munisteri now says his groups -
C~P (Cc;,mmittee
to Retire Aspir-
. ing Politicians)
and STOMP
(Students Tired of Manipulative
Politics) -
will "just sit on the
issue" until spring.
"It took four years to get the
issue of reinstating the SA on the
ballot. It took two weeks to get the
issue of dissolving it on the ballot,"
Munisteri says.
Such interest seems to be
spreading.
Students for a Better and Balanc-
ed Education (SBBE), composed
primarily of College Republicans
members, tried to weaken New
Mexico's student government by
drastically reducing its budget last
fall, hoping to deny school funding
to gay and ethnic groups.
While the Republican effort lost
by a 10-1 margin, it did increase
voter turnout in the subsequent
campus-wide election.
And though New Mexico's stu-
dent government's vote of con-
fidence was strong, it was singular.
At
many schools, talk of reform
and reorganization usually reflects
a serious lack of confidence.
At Notre
Dame, members of the
Hall
Presidents' Council tried
dissolving
the Student Senate
because
"it
doesn't get anything
done."
One-fifth of
Bradley University's •
student
senators resigned because
their
organization
was "travelling
down the wrong
road."
The University
of Tampa recent-
ly formed committees to
reorganize
the student governmenr
and its
constitution. A Villanova junior,
charging "the current government
is
inefficient
and
stagnant,"
is
fighting to eliminate two vice
presidential positions
as part of a
major reform proposal.
•
To forestall discontent,
Brigham
Young's student government has
a
hotline to let students air
com-
plaints and a "Student Body Presi-
dent for a Day" contest,
giving
students a chance to learn firsthand
how their system works.
Swarthmore Student Council
co-
President Reijen Naidoo
is propos-
ing drastic changes in his organiza-
tion, and one SC member says stu-
dent awareness of the issue
is
"fantastic."
And, as happened five years ago,

But Striegel said a reporter can-
not remove himself totally from the
people and events he writes about.
"If you can't put yourself in the

explained.

STUDENTS!
Striegel, a Poughkeepsie resi-
dent, is assigned the city beat. He
covers Poughkeepsie Town Board
meetings and writes about topics
such as local elections, traffic
studies, area development and
•
layoffs that affect local families.
He admitted that some of the
:
tqpics he covers can be mundane.
"It's the scoops that keep you

he
claimed to have. The candidate
subsequently admitted that his
claim was false and removed
himself from consideration for the
position.
Striegel said he had mixed feel-
ings about exposing the man's lie.
"I feel crappy about disgracing so-
meone," he-said. "The guy wanted
to be a public servant and hold the
purse strings for the Town of
Poughkeepsie. People need to
know they can trust someone
in
that position
with their tax
money."
Striegel acknowledged
that
