criticism of the group has come
from members of the Marist

The Progressive Coalition and
the Black Student Union will
march through cam.pus tomorrow,
beginning at 3 p.m., to draw atten-
tion to apartheid in South Africa
and racism in the United States.
The march will be held without
official college approval, said Pro-
gressive Coalition spokesman Joe
Concra.
The march will begin at the
Garden Apartments and end at the
Campus Center, where senior •
Christian Morrison is scheduled to
deliver a speech on human rights.
The demonstration is expected to
end in the early evening with a
candlelight vigil, said Concra.
Organizers of the demonstration
intend to pass out information
sheets on apartheid and other
issues, and a petition that asks
Marist College to issue a "position
statement" on its holdings in com-
panics that do business in South
Africa.
Members of the coalition and the
BSU were to have a meeting with
Marist President Dennis Murray
today in Greystone. Concra said he
would inform Murray of the plans
for th!! demonstration, as well as
discuss the scarcity of black pro-
fessors on campus and other issues.
Concra also said that the Pro-
gressive Coalition has scheduled its
Human Rights Awareness· Week
for April 1-4, to coincide \\<ith
a na-
tionwide week of awareness spon-
sored by several national anti-
apartheid groups. April 4 is the
18th anniversary of the assassina-
tion of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.,
and comes two weeks after the 26th
anniversary of the Sharpesville
massacre in South Africa, in which
state police killed 69 blacks and

students receive this type of loan.
Atkin said there will also be a
change in the financial need for-
. mula, making it
·even
harder for
students to receive aid.
Atkin said the proposed cuts also
will affect students receiving
athletic or academic scholarships
from Marist. Fifteen percent of the
money Marist allocates to financial
aid goes to those scholarships. But,
she said, the school's first priority,
is to. pn;,vide for students who
demonstrate need, so expanding
the athletic and academic scholar-
ship programs will be difficult

and has advised them to contact the
class officers for support. She also
told them the CSL will aid in the
initiation of a campaign. But, she
said, the real support must come
from the students.
"If constituent mail is un-
favorable, then the elected officials
will be forced to take action," said
-Ryan.
Last year, the Marist administra-
tion set aside a day for students to
write letters in opposition of pro-
jected cuts in financial aid. Ryan
said there is no plan for the same
course of action this year, but that
other options are being considered.
She said one option would be to
have the CSL provide the students
with all of the necessary informa-
tion through advertisements in the
Circle and tables set up around
campus. Then, the students could
write the letters when they have
some free time.

Student

by Sue Hermans
:
•
Terry Tobin is a New York
City cop who walks the fine line
between becoming desensitized
to the people she encounters and
caring too much.
"You see a kid who's been
put under boiling water by his
parents and you want say,
'What the devil is the matter
with you?' "said Tobin, a 1983
Marist
·
graduate who has been
on the police force for two and
a half years.
"You have to become detach-
ed," she said, "but you allow
yourself the right to grieve."
Tobin's background in social
workhas given her an empathy
for
-the
people she deals with,
she said, but she knows she
must not invest too much of her
own emotions in the dramas she
confronts.
"The worst thing l had to do
was tell parents their 7-year-old
was killed bv a drunk driver,"
said Tobin; 24. "You know
they're going to have a bad
reaction-you do, too. But you
have to remember vou've done
your job by arresting the guy
and you're not there to impose
judgment."
She guards
against
the
cynicism that can erode a cop's
effectiveness.
The biggest
danger a cop faces, Tobin said,
is becoming desensitized.
"Day in and day out you see
people
at
their worst,".sh~
said.

··"People
don't call 911 because •
•
•.
they're happy. You realize the
problem could easily happen to
you. When you start to get in-
.
sensitive, you have to take a step
back."
Tobin's career choice may
after
marist
seem unconventional in a world
where being a cop, especially in
the New York City, is still con-
sidered very much a
.man's
prerogative; women comprise
only nine percent of the force.
But in reality, Tobin is
following a fading tradition -
she is following in her father's
footsteps. She remembers how
much her father, now retired,
enjoyed his work as a police of-
ficer and she enjoyed the color-
ful stories he told. But even
though
he influenced
her
choice, Tobin said, if she didn't
enjoy the work she wouldn't do
it.
Tobin said she hasn't per-
sonally
experienced
much
chauvinism from the men she
works with or the people she
assists, but she pointed out that
the first women
on
the force
met the same sort of resistance
as women who want to join the
fire department are facing now .
Tobin, who lives in Queens,
-
applied for
a
position in the
police department around the
time she transferred to Marist
after two years at Brooklyn Col-
lege.
She complet!!d

the
psychological,
physical and
medical tests by Christmas of
her junior year, but since she
was more
than
half-way
through her degree, she had the
department put her application
on hold.
Just
before
graduation,
Tobin had her application
reinstated. When she saw how
tough the job market was for
someone with a degree in social
work, she enrolled in the police
academy.

Murphy ... By being consistent, the
volunteer makes the child think 'I
must be worth something'."
The agency
serves
children who
come from single-parent homes,
predominantly low income, with
the mother usually heading the
household, said Murphy.
The children arc referred to the
agency by schools, social agencies
or by the family, she said.
However,
in
order to be part of the
program both the mother and the
child must desire the service.
"It's
not that the parents are in-
competem," said.Murphy. "They
realize their children
·need
help.
That's
a
real sign of strength."
..
Although there are currently 90
active matches in the program,
there are still
95
children waiting
for a Big Brother or Big Sister, ac-
cording to Murphy. She said the
agency is working towards finding
a match for all these children but
the time commitment and degree of
responsibility involved are a big
problem.
"Just like any relationship, it in-
volves hard work and commit-
ment," said Murphy. "You have
to
share the good and bad and
sometimes you have to sacrifice a
lot. A
)01
of people aren't willing
to do that."
Big Brothers and Big Sisters are
required to spend at least three to
five hours with the child each week,
according to Murphy. They par-
ticipate in such activities as ice
skating. bowling, sporting e\·cnts
and mO\'ies.

Sour Grapes
Marist has successfully completed the first step in its bid to re-
open the December hearing that awarded Bard College, Pace
University and Millbrook Prep School shares of Bennett College's
endowment money.
Marist officials claim that they should have been notified per-
sonally about the original hearing. Because they weren't, and no
one at the school saw the notices about the hearing in the
Poughkeepsie Journal and the Taconic Newspapers, the hearing
was unfair, Mari~t says.
•
It
is natural for Marist to want a share of the money. The
school's efforts are a sign that it really is trying to increase in-
come from sources other than tuition and fees. And Marist did
adopt Bennett's fashion design program.
But the move may not be a good idea. Bard President Leon
Botstein has said his school will oppose any action Marist takes.
He said the the hearing was legal and Bard was "granted
something we cannot now give up."
Marist should put itself in Bard's shoes. Botstein said his school
was not personally notified either, yet that college managed to
secure some of the money. At this point, Marist's challenge seems
like sour grapes.
.
In March, there will be a hearing to determine whether Marist
can apply for a slice of the Bennett pie.
It
is sure to be publiciz-
ed. The share.Marist stands to receive would not make up for
the bad image Marist will present to the public. Marist may have
a point, but that point will be overshadowed simply because
.
Marist's intentions will not look good.

To the Editor:
Your lead story in the February
13th Circle regarding the finances
of the College covered an impor-
tant institutional topic. Clearly, the
editors had researched the matter
carefully. Your data regarding
Faculty salaries is accurately
reported, if one agrees that Marist
is
a
"11-B"
school, defined as one
that is a baccalaureate institution.
The "11-B" designation was cer-
tainly appropriate fifteen years
ag'o, when Marist had no master's
programs. However, this descrip-
tion no longer is accurate. It is the
Business Office who has determin-
.
ed that Marist is a 11-B school, but
•
we believe that this category no
•
longer applies to Marist College.
.
Marist is, we believe, more ac-
curately described as a
"II-A
(Comprehensive)" institution. To
meet this descriptive category, a
college "must grant a minimum of
thirty post-baccalaureate degrees
and
...
grant degrees in three or
more post-baccalaureate

grams

To the Editor:
Twelve Marist students were
allegedly drinking in a "dry" dor-
mitory and will be reprimanded,
according to school policy, if the
allegations are proved to be true.
On Feb. 7 the twelve sentenced
themselves to the penalities of
Marist College when Jim Raimo,
resident director of North End cor-
nered them in room 119 of Cham-
p.agnat Hall.
The incident reflects a commit-
ment by the college to "crack
down" on those who violate the
21-year-old drinking age passed in
December of 1985.
He (Raimo) walked in, and it
was all over, said Mike Nolan, a
sophomore. "There was no need
for a jury because the verdict was
already in."

beer,

Gagliano,

sophomore, said, "Good thing we

James E. PiU is a Marisl student
at Greenhaven.
·working in over 70 countries of the
world, has always insisted on a
global component fo personal
growth and career training. This
belief is embodied in the Marist
·college Mission Statement which
reads,
"We seek to prepare
students for life in the 21st century
in a world community by exposing
them at once to the values of par-
ticular cultures and to the values
that both transcend and link par-
ticular cultures."
Early on, Marist saw an end to
hierarchies and a need for all
cultures and ideologies to network.
Since 1963, the.Marist Abroad Pro-
gram has enabled hundreds . of
students to study in Europe,
Africa, Latin American and Japan.
In the fall ,of 1986, 200 freshmen,
will be immersed in a Writing Pro-
gram aimed at exposing them to
global issues even now facing the
entire world community.This pro-
gram will also be taken by al(750
freshmen in the class of 1987.
. Realizing the necessity to be in
the vanguard of global education,
last spring Marist College establish-
ed an ad hoc committee chaired by
Anthony J. Cernera, who was the
active academic vice-president, to
study ways and means of imbuing
the student body with the new
world reality. The committee's
primary recommendation was to
delegate and· subsidize a team of
faculty to edit its own Writing Pro-
gram materials entirely focused on
, the "global village." This team
comprises professors Don Ander-
son, Jan Casey, Eleanor Montero,
Milton Teichman, and Brother
Joseph Belanger.
Sixteen themes are to be includ-
ed in the Rhetoric/Reader. They
are: international business, interna-
tional politics and terrorism,
hunger,
human
geography,
physical geography, human rights,
futurism, a new world order,
ecology and world resources, war
and peace, world religions, interna-
tional organizations, children and
youth around the world, crime and
anti-social
behavior,
,vorld
customs,
and
racism
and
ethnicities. The team has propos-
ed a concurrent use of non-print
and print materials, with lectures
and
seminars.
Back-to-back
periods have been scheduled to
allow for viewing and listening with
immediate discussion, to be follow- •
ed by written assignments. We
eagerly anticipate dialogue with our.
many foreign-born faculty and
students whose rich cultural ex-
periences
will stimulate
con-
siderable debate.
We are very excited, and we
think students will be too! With far
more immediacy, each of us can
stay with Seneca, "I am a citizen
of the world."

Class of '88
Battle
To the Editor:-
Last Sunday night, two Marist
alumni and
I
were forced
to
leave
the Battle of the'Bands competition
by Betty Yeaglin, several pushy
people who appeared
to be
members of
the CUB
and
four or five security guards. We
had not caused any disturbance-
in fact, we had just entered the
event when we were confronted.
Apparently, this was a respons~
to the last band battle, when we
took a somewhat novel approach
to entering the competition. When
I asked Mrs. Yeaglin why I had to
leave, she would only refer to that
.other night. When
I
asked Securi-
ty, they could only shrug and say,
"Because Betty said so."
This was an alumni weekend.
I've seen more awesome flips this
year, from the student body and
faculty, than
I
did in the Olym-
• pies!!! Also sanding and plowing
are never done well enough near
the Garden Apartments, as to
allow one to make a decent right
hand turn without spinning one's
tires or "fantailing.'' Well, this is
enough about the roads and park-
ing conditions, now I'd like to add
a few more complaints. Why is it
that school closings are so poor? I
am a junior now, but for the past
two years I had 8: 15 classes in the
winter. When it snows, and one
lives in Wappingers or elsewhere,
we must allow ourselves extra road
time, yet I cannot tell you how
many times I have come up to
school, only to hear at 7:50 in my
car (already on my way) that classes
were either postponed or cancelled.
This
is ·so frustrating
and
dangerous to those of us who are
on the.roads when we shouldn't be.
After all, we don't all just crawl out
of bed at 7:45, and run across cam-
pus. One true puzzling incident oc-
curred on the morning of Feb. 7;
the roads were so bad in the morn-
ing, yet fairly decent by early after-
noon, However, classes after
I
:00
p.m. were closed. ls this logical?
Another funny incident has come
about recently also. When the plow
made a pile in the Marist East park-
ing area on approximately the third
day of this semester,
I
had to park
slightly
over the line of my space.
However, a car was able to fit in
,,next to me. To my surprise, and to
add to the confusion of the first
week of school,
l
left class and
'found a ticket on my windshield.
For parking in this manner
I
receiv-
ed a ticket stating, "Allotted too
parking spaces." I laughed when
I
realized that they meant "two"
parking places. If I'm going to be
corrected for error or violation, I'd
like to be able to • read it in
English!!!!!!!
Last, but not least, my resident
friends are constantly receiving
notices
in
their mailboxes about im-
portant events and social events,
yet we commuters only seem to
receive something that relates to a
monetary situation or some type of
complaint about parking from
Security. This stuff makes one feel
real involved. You know we are a

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I fake
that to mean alumni are welcome
on campus. Granted it was not
designed as an alumni event, but if
people from New Paltz who don't
attend Marist can perform in the
contest, then surely alumni should
be able to attend.
THINK ABOUT IT?!
In addition, I pay a student ac-
tivities fee at Marist. Unless so-
meone intends to refund that
money, I should be alloweg to at-
tend student events.

Hardcore: A. look at
the final frontier
Ed.itor's note: The Westend
Coffeehouse at Vassar Collge will
present a series· of hardcore con-
certs' throughout
the spring
semester. See the calendar on this
page for more information.

by Ken Parker
They have .. names like Suicidal
Tendencies, The Dirty Rotten Im-
beciles and Wasted Youth. Their
music is loud and aggressive. It's
called hardcore.
In an age of recycled trends and
advertising jingles, hardcore is a
kick in the face. Hardcore songs
are fast and short. Very short.
Perhaps two and a half minutes on
a bad day. Hardcore artists deliver •
their message and move on. No ·
loitering is allowed.
Listen to hardcore long enough
and you began to value the concept
of conciseness. Like short, concise
sentences.
compare it to cancer. Others draw
parallels to Johnny Appleseed.
~
Hardcore is often misinier-
pret!!d. The music has a wide range
of characteristics. Some songs are
political. Some are humorous. To
narrow-minded people who refuse
to allow ,new ideas to be con-
sidered, hardcore is both. Most
hardcore is pacifist.
It
paints the
bleakest picture possible, forcing
you to take notice of your own
atrocities.
In the eyes of the hardcore con-
tingent, .the atrocities are issues of:
a gun-waving society, computer-
run businesses and MTV. Still,
•
some people just don't get it. .
• At a hardcore concert, it is dif-
ficult to differentiate between band
and audience. Hardcore artists
don't arrive in limousines. They
show up in vans and
Volkswagen
beetles. They set up· their own
equipment. There are no groupies.
N.o one wants
the band's
autograph. Everyone is there ·ror
the same reason. Artist and fan are
one. unit.
Once the music begins, the men
. are separated from the boys. There
is something archaically romantic
about the person who fights and
claws his way onto a stage only to
dive back off into a sea of
thrashing
humanity. ,

The Marist College Council on
.
Theater Arts (MCCT A) will pre-
sent the drama, "One Flew Over
the Cuckoo's Nest," next week in
the Theater.
The play is based on the Ken
Kesey novel of the same name, and
is set in a mental hospital. The plot
is centered around the antics of
R.P. McMurphy, a boisterous con-
vict who is sent to the mental
hospital for care instead of serving
his time in prison. McMurphy soon
disrupts the order of the hospital,
and challenges the authority of
Miss Ratched, the head nurse.
McMurphy, played by Dave
Margalotti, a senior from Ocean-
port, N.J., uses his quick wit and
leadership skills to convince the pa-

some of the self-esteem which the
"system" has taken away from
them.
The story is narrated by one of
the patients, "Chief Bromden,"
who is thought by everyone to be
deaf and mute. Bromden, played
by John Roche, a junior from The
Bronx, expresses the inner turmoil
which mental patient~ feel, and
keeps the audience informed about
some of the intricacies of the plot.
The play is directed by Bill Biz-
zone, an adjunct instructor of
English, and includes 21 cast
members.
Although only a few characters
have large speaking parts, Bizzone
said, each character is an important
part of the production.

As so cia tio n · aims -to· better North End living
by Mary Ann Dolan
..
With
more upperclassmen being
housed on campus this year, the
North End Residence Association
• is trying to generate a group spirit
an'd improve the quality of life for
North End residents, according to
Jim
Raimo, residence director for
• the North End.
The association is planning more
group activities to bring the older
students together~ In addition, they
have
.
requested addi-
• tional

cording to senior Jim Ferguson,
president
of the North

resident's
association. :
•
The representatives are also
looking into other issues of student
concern.
• They include the number of peo-
ple allowed at Townhouse • and
Garden Apartment parties and
financial restitution for housing in-
convenienc·es. The association also
addresses cases from North End
residents regarding appeals for
housing.
In addition
to Raimo, the
• association is made up of represen-
. tatives from each of the three
Townhous~ units, Gregory and
Benoit Houses, the Garden Apart-
ments and the North End.
The association. has made pro-·
gress in addressing the residents' re-
quests and imprqving North End
life. Accorqing to Raimo, the
association was instrumental in ob-
taining six VCRs and six· color
television sets for use campus-wide.
• This equipment can be used.by any
on-campus student, free of charge.
Other accomplishments include
the purchase of six vacuum cleaners
for use by North End residents and
replacing a stolen television set
. from Gregory House.
The association, which is a part
of Inter-House Council, has plann-
ed many eventsto generate spirit on
the North End.
•
According to Raimo, when the
drinking age changed to 21 there
was a need for a place \vhich
students of legal drinking age could
go to socialize on campus.
!n the first week of February, the
association sponsored the 21 Club.
This club was form-Cd to give
students 21 years of age and over
an opportunity to socialize on cam-
pus. Over 200 students attended the
event held in the new dining room.
"It
was an overwhelming suc-
cess," said Ferguson.
More 21 Club nights are ex-
pected in the future.
Other planned events include a
ski trip to Killington, Vermont on
Sunday, Feb. 23. The cost is $25
for lift tickets, $17 for rental equip-
ment and
$5
for transportation.
On Thursday,
Feb. 20 the
association will be sponsoring Ho-
Bowl Night. The cost is three
dollars, which covers the cost of
three games of bowling and shoes.
Up to one hundred and twenty
students can attend.
"We hope events like these will
be an incentive to get involved,"
said Raimo. The North End
association would like to form a
North End Activities Team. These
students would help to plan ac-
tivities particularly for North End
residents. In addition they would
like to compile a student directory
for all Marist students.
Ferguson said he is very satisfied
with what the association has com-
pleted so far.
Upcoming events include the
campus-wide Battle of the Classes.
"This will be our biggest claim to
fame," said Ferguson. The event is
scheduled for the middle of April.
A proposed smaller version of the
event is scheduled for next month
for the North End. According to
Ferguson, he would like to en-
courage participation
in these
events, and he feels that the
re'sidence association could bring
positive changes to the North End.

The conflicting· appearances of
the organization's stand suggest to
some that the coalition is follow-
ing the latest political trend, rather
than forcing the college to change
its investment policies.
Senior Alvin Patrick, a member
of the Black Student Union, said

Dr. Roscoe Balch, who, as facul-

healthy. Divestment rarely pro-

Balch, a history professor at
Marist, said he believes the current

to be.
"It does not necessarily mean
that we're heading in the direction

Marist) is more in the tradition of
'the '50s, in which clubs used more

Washington- interns tell--of capital experience
by Kathy O'Connor
For two Marist students, having
an internship in Washingt.on, D.C.,
was one of the best experiences of
their college careers.
Jeannine Clegg, a senior study-
ing communi\:~tion arts, and An-
drew Crecca, a senior political
science major, were both station-

Clegg applied for her internship

floor room was caused by an unat-

Walberg, a member of the Fairview

Fire officials reported that night
that an ashtray was found on one
of the mattresses in the room,
Walberg said. This information
was not released until this week.
Joe Waters, director of safety
and security, could not be reached
this week for comment about the
cause.
Estimated damage from the fire
was less than $10,000, Walberg
said. There were no injuries. R(?om

Steve Capozzoli were out of the •

About six hundred Champagnat
residents evacuated the building at
9:10 p.m. on Feb. 9 as three local
fire units responded to the alarm.
The fire was fully extinguished
and all students, except for the
sixth floor students living in the

In the last 10 games before the
Monmouth contest, he had over 15
•
points per game.
In
six consecutive·
.:
games, he had over 20 points per
•
game. (He never scored more than
'
18
:jn
a game last season.) His
,
average of 18.8 points per game is
clearly the best for the Red Foxes.
.
In the 23 games Marist has
played this season, he has been in·
double digits 21 times. He has been
the top scorer 17 times and the high
:rebounder
l3
times.
'.And
that's just this year. As a
freshman last season, he started 21
of 29 games. At the free-throw· line
•
he had a percentage of .57_7.
As for
·
field goals, he was. hitting at a .567
rate. That was
tops
for the Foxes
last season. He had 324 total points
with an average 11.1 per game. In
the conference he had a 13.2 points
per game.
'
This season he has started all of
the 23 contests. He is shooting at
',.
61.9 per.cent in field goals and 71.4
percent in free throws. His field

team. This season he has over 415

to record slams, because' its dif-

.
that one shot was a
dunk and another was something
that resembled a dunk, but didn't
have the force of a real slam-dunk.
So here at Marist, the slam stats are
few. and far between.

Get with it gang, this guy is tall.
If,you don't know who this col-

yourself to a Marist men's basket-

those people who read all the way

All that can be said is that he's
