• Bill Bozzone admits he began
writing to pick up girls.
"After I graduated college,
I
got a job as a security guard at
. _Bennett College in Millbrook,"
. said Bozzone, an adjunct in-
structor of English at Marist
-and director of this week's pro-
duction'of "One Flew Over the
Cuckoo's Nest."
"I
had never written before,
but I used to try to impress girls
by telling them -I was an author.
"One day, a girl asked me to
bring in a piece of work, so I
had to run home and write a
short story." He added, "I kind
of liked it, so I stuck with it."
Since then, Bozzone has writ-
ten several plays. One of his
· latest, ••Rose Cottages," \\ill be
produced off-Broadway at the
Ensemble Studio Theatre for
three weeks beginning April I.
Bozzone spoke to The Circle •

Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." •
Between hands ofa poker game
with some members of the cast,

Prior
to "Rose
Cottages,"
two of Bozzone's other plays,

"That kirid of person is tough to

.

Waters said he feels larger col-

June· 1985, when Director Cecil
Denney took ·~rjob at tile Univer-
sity of Texas_ Jim Falanga held the
position of acting director until
Feb. 14, when he left to take a posi-
tion with the Adesse Corp. in Dan-
bury, Conn.
Waters, who replaced Falanga as
acting director· of the Computer
Center. said the search for someone
as quaiified for the job as Denney
has been very difficult. Although
there have been more than 30 ap-
plicants, Waters said, the college
was satisfied with none.
The job requires not only
technical expertise, he said, but also
the ability to
act
as an ad-
• more difficult.
"Everyone
is
pirating computer center directors .
these days," he said. "It's very
hard
to
get people because salaries
are very competitive.'?
Waters said he believes the
posi-
• tion will be filled soon, despite dif-
ficulties.' The college has placed
advertisements in The New York
Times and has contacted people in
the computer field in search of ap-
plicants, he said.
Future expansion of the Com-
puter Center, which is now under
consideration,
according
to
Waters, will further complicate the
director
1
s job.
The Computer Center now con-
tains more than $7 million in IBM
cequipment. and offers more than
IOO
"mafnframe" terminals. and
nearly 50 "PC's"
to students.
. There are
also
computers
available to faculty and admin-
sistration through the Computer
Center.
The demand on the computer
system is growing quickly as more
students use it, however, and ex-
pansion will probably be necessary
in the near future in order to keep
up with demand, according to
Waters. •
"\Ve have encouraged students

'get into' computing, and· they
have," he said. "That creates a
problem -
but it's a good
problem.''
• Marist is committed to making
compu'ters more available to
students, and is trying to integrate
-computers into all courses of study,
said Waters.

being. I have to make a stand. It's
a matter of humanity," Casey said. •
After the 35~minute march, most
of the protesters attended speeches
in Fireside Lounge, including com-
•
ments by guest speaker Sipho
Seepc, an assistant professor of
physics and student at the Renn~
selaer Polytechnic Institute who is
a resident of Soweto, South Africa.-
Seepe said after his speech on the
history,
ecomomics
and
misconceptions of apartheid that
cmbarassmcnt
is an effective
method for the continuing fight
against apartheid.
"Reach as many students as you
can. There is no \\'ay you can reach
the trustees, you must embarass
them," he said. He also suggested
writing letters to local nespapers
and politicians;
..
•
"The mass has the power,"
Seepe said.
Junior
Charles Fleming, a
member of the • Black Student
Union, delivered a short speech
urging students to continue their
.
fight against apartheid. ''We must
show our opposition to corporate
businesses' investing in South
Africa, which are supporting the
apartheid system
•
and hindering
liberation," he said.
Patrick then spoke briefly on
what he said was the political
apathy and racism at Marist.
-'-'Most"
Marist students don't
understand anything unless the
globe is put on their heads ... unless
they realize it can hurt them as in-
dividuals," he said. "Apartheid
can."
• Junior Kevin Otto, who helped
in organizing the Progressive Coali-
tion, said he wanted a meeting with
the Marisc Board of Trustees.
"Hopefully," he said, "the next.
stop will be a meeting with the
Board of Trustees on any holdings
or investments they may have in
South Africa."
Ryan: Studen_ts'
Day to focus
_
on career topics
by Lisa Ash
.
Students' Day, formerly Dean's
Convocation Day, is a time when·
our motivations, aspirations and
career guidance will be considered,
said Council of Student Leaders
President Suzailne Ryan.
As representatives of the student
body, the Council of Student
•
Leaders
has met with
ad-
•
ministrators and faculty to develop
a program for Students' Day that
will be of interest to the Marist
·community,
said Ryan.
Ryan said a needs assessment test
was issued ·to. the commut1hy in
.
order
to
find out what topics peo-
ple would like to see discussed on
Students' Day. She said the results
of the test indicated that "College,
·
Knowledge & Jobs" would be the
topic of the day.
Students' Day will be looked at
more as an avenue for the students
to. learn
and
enrich
their
knowledge, said Ryan. Dean's
Convocation Day was not focused·
on students'
needs, it didn't
motivate people and student atten-
dance was low over the past few
years, said Ryan.
Ryan said the decision to change
the day came in October of 1985.
"We decided to change the name
of the day because the connotation
of Dean's Convocation Day has
'black memories'." She added that
the Council of Class Officers
thought of
the
name
for
the
day.
The format of the day has been
-
changed into more of a workshop
day
for students, said
Ryan.
Following two key speakers, break-
out sessions \\ill be formed.
Possible topics for the sessions
are:
the job
search,
self-
management,
how to write
a
resume and coping with stress.
Ryan said Student's Day will be
held on April 15
and will
begin at
about 9:30 a.m.
The day will
end
at approximately 2:30 p.m. \\;th
the Council of Student Leaders giv-
ing a tea

When James-Callahan was

''Tlie

of
'62. "We had a rare opportunity to do
many
-interesting
things because everything
gqt done by'a few people. We started The
·
Record (precursor to The Circle) in 1960 and
published the first.yearbook in

fessor at ~mith College in North Hampton,

,
But the college preside~t also played a per-
,sonal
role in Callahan's education. Callahan
was· a math major who, like Foy, went on
to earn a Ph.D. from the ~ourant Institute
at New York University. Since then,
Callahan's career has taken him to the halls
of Harvard and Smith.
•
"Linus was a strone influence on me in
developing· my interest and attitude about
math," Callahan said in a recent telephone
interview. "Math, as it was taught then, was
abstract and mechanistic. Linus used applica-
tions to show the connection between math
and the world of science."
•
Foy also gave Callahan his first taste of
teaching while still a student at Marist.
Callahan held a weekly review
session
and
organized a class in the evenings for the
students having trouble understanding the
material, and he found he loved reaching.
"I enjoy explaining things," he said.
"What's needed is to be puzzled yourself.
You have to have the experience of being
confused to know what others are going
through."
After Callahan received his doctorate in
1967, he taught at Harvard for three years.
In 1970 he bega·n teaching at Smith College,

including calculus, physics and relativity. He
said he tries to trach the courses in a way that
• gives ihen:i broad appeal.
" Intro to Calculus is interesting to teach
because incoming sp.1dents are more willing
to take risks and ii's easier to stimul:i!e their
interest," he said.
"I
like talking about ideas
better than doing the mechanics, although
you have to do that too."
Callahan denies having an inherent talent
for the subject. In fact, he readily admits
there arc many aspects of it he i:foes not
understand.
•
"I am visual in the way I think," he said.
"I can't remember formulas. There are
chunks of math I can't get into my brain -
I have no natural inclination towards ii."
His interest in math developed during high
school when someone gave him a four
volume set of "The World of l\farhematics."
He found himself reading the books often,
and also taught himself calculus because
there wasn't· much offered in high school
beyond the basic courses.
•
Callahan cannot envision a time when he
will not be poring over isosceles triangles and
differential equatiom. Math is not _just his
profession, it is his hobby as well.
"Math is·something you can occupy your
time with as much as you wish," he said.
"The limitation is rhe need to do other
things, like make a living."
•
Even retirement
to Callahan means only
stopping teaching, not slopping doing marh,
he said. And when retirement
time does roll
•
"You find an emphasis in.Europe on that
kind of work because there is a broader com-
munity of people interested in ideas," he
said. "The intellectual life has a different
flavor."
The famtly's last trip was in the spring of
1981. They enjoyed living in England, he
said, and while the country's notoriously
dismal climate might dampen the spirit of
some.
Callahan considered ir a plus.
"England
is great for doing math," he
remarked. "There is nothing to tempt you
to
go oucside."
•
When Callahan is not doing
·math,
he
might be found doing construccion work.
Two and a half years ago, he and his family
moved to a house closer to the center of
Amherst.
•
He and Felicity designed and built a south-
facing, solar equipped three story addition
to the house. They hired someone to dig the
hole and pour the foundation. but Callahan
said he and his wife did all but the messiest
work themselves.
"It

"Working with subcontractors was in-
teres1ing. I've run
into
some intense and pet·
ty people in academia. These guys were de-
cent and generous people -
so different
from what I've come to sec as common."
In spite of the fact that construction work
is far removed from math -
or perhaps
because of it - Callahan finds tremendous
satisfaction in it.
"It's easier ro gel results with building,"
he said. "You can sir at a desk for ei2ht

anywhere. It's tempting to put aside my own
work and go do some work on the house."

Bennett bllcks
When Marist first announced.in Dec~mber tha~ the college was
thinking about asking a Dutchess County:court to.reconsider the
distribution of the $340,000 in the Bennett College endowment
fund, many people were skeptical about the college's attempt to
lay claim on funds that had already been given to other schools.
The initial negative reaction, no doubt, stemmed from early
news reports saying that Marist was basing its case on the fact
that the college had missed legal notices announcing the availabili-
ty of the funds. The notices were printed in the Poughkeepsie
Journal and the Taconic Newspapers. To many, it appeared that
•
Marist, having missed an_ opportunity, was trying to get special
consideration.
'
•
•
.
.
.
However, more re~enJ information.reJeased by Marist officials
suggests that the college actually has a much stronger case to make
for asking for the reconsideration.
In particular,
•
college
documents show that state officials had failed to live up to an
agreement to notify the college in advance of the hearing at which.
the money was distributed.
Marist is also.•poii:lting
out that the institution carried on a part
of B~nett College after it closed by taking on Bennett f?culty,
its fashion design program and some of its students.
With Marist's documentation released to the public now, we
hope that first impressions will not linger. •

disciplines at Marist College· and
pondered the question· whether
those students who persisted in

A student body poll would un-

success in the job
world. Although· knowledge gain-
ed in the study of a particular ma-
jor can be a strong ally in a com-
petitive job market: it is .but one •
apsect of the student's preparation.
It combines with other facets of the
student's college experience to
develop the capabilities and per-
sonal
•
qualities
sought
by
employers.

of

consideration of major field of

involves development of

. The unfortunate reality is that
most students do not recognize the
potential within such planning or
. i1s relevance to their employabili-
ty. This is especially true in the
-.
academic rc'llm, where the mere
completion of a career-oriented
major is viewed as adequate -
academic excellence in the pursuit
of that major is often a secondary
consideration, Lack of effort when
taking core courses is the norm
rather than a rigorous attempt to
grapple with the methodologies and
concepts in these courses
.
Pursuit of academic excellence
has the potential of a two-fold
payoff for students in the job
market. Good grades do carry
meaning for employers. They arc
perceived as being somewhat in-
dicative of intellectual capability.
More importantly, they connote
positive work qualities such as am-
bition, resourcefulness, goal orien-
tation and perseverance. A resume
displaying a high G.P .A. begins the
hiring process in a highly favorable
light for the candidate.

arena. The qualita1ive dimension of
academics involves mastery and
developmenl of skills often refer-
red to as the "liberal skills." These
skills arc developed within 1he
vigorous, intentional pursuit of
knowledge and achievement in col-
lege study. The liberal skills involve
communicating clearly, both oral-
ly and in writing. Various forms of
- \Vrittcn assignments
and class
present at ions
develop
t hcsc
abilities. Analysis of problems and
issues and defining new solutions
arc present throughout the cur-
riculum.
The opportunity
to
develop skill in researching a topic
and asking the right questions are
also inherent to the educational
process.
1
These competencies and others
go with you as you leave Marist
and begin your work life. As you
contact employers with letters and
resumes and prcsenl yourself in in-
terviews, you will· display your
.
ability to communicate. Perhaps in
the hiring process an organization
will test your ability to think quick-
ly and solve problems. Whether or
not you encounter such demands,
you have the opportunity
to
prepare for them with a solid effort
to meet the requirements of ex-
cellence in your academic work.

well-rounded background they pro-
vide for organizational problem-
solving
and decision-making.
Studies or liberal arts graduates
have revealed that thcy.idvance as
rar, if not farther, into upper
management levels as their more
technically trained counterparts.
Although current hiring practices
reveal a continued dependence on
more technical disciplines
by
• business and industrv at the entry-
level, students in the "career"
disciplines would bcndit
from
maximum exposure to the liberal
arts. Liberal arts majors may cer-
tainly benefit from exposure to
subject areas which can give them
an appreciation of the business
world or other areas of the world
of work.
Comments and advice for to-
day's
students
from
recent
graduates of Marist indicate that
employers arc impressed with good

in

Again Johnson & Johnson pull-

•
Johnson made a
public announcement not to use
.any
Tylenol capsules that might be
at home and issued a $100,000
reward for information leading to
the arrest of the person or persons
involved.
This has caused the Chicago
police to officially re-open the in-
vestigation of the past Tylenol
murders. The rask
·force
that was
set up three years ago, has now
regrouped with the hope of solving
the latest murder.

Americans, but especially in new

It
could ha\·e been anyone
who walked into that A & P and
bought that fatal boule of Tylenol.
It
might have been me ... or even
you.
Cri~e is as· rampant as ever,
massive quantities of drugs come in

and out of our borders, corruption
has risen to greater heights and we
wonder where we will end up. We,
as a society, have become blind to
the realities of life ...:....
Or maybe we
prefer not to see.·
The individual (or individuals)
who taints Tylenol capsules with
cyanide, murdering"'iin innocent
woman, is the product of the socie-
ty in which we all live. We need to
examine our values and ,vhat we
are teaching our children. Are we
teaching our children life, or is life
teaching our children? If it is the
latter, then we are producing a
generation of misguided, confused,
angry and bitter individuals.
I once considered America as the
best place to live .. I would still
choose to live here over any other
country, but
I
am not blind to its
faults. I cannot think of another
nation ,vith as much to offer as this
one. Conceived in Jove and pride,
\Ve foul?.ht hard to· establish
ourselve;. America has grown in-
to a wealthy nation with much to
offer. People still come here to
achieve and succeed. I have not lost
hope for America as a nation. We
arc not a perfect nation, but then
neither is any other: In view of
what occurs in other countries, I
still would consider us ahead of all
others.
However, being just ahead is not
the answer. We as Americans must
re-evaluate this country and im-
prove our society. Together. we can
reduce crimes like the Tylenol
cyanide poisonings.

•
tists have dressed up in tuxedos,
smiled for photographers and liv-
ed in anticipation for the night in
late February when the National
Academy of Recording Arts an~
Sciences hands out its annual
Grammy Awards.
From its presentation on televi-
sion, it is easy to get the idea that
everything is fine with the Gram-
mys. But beyond all the
·toothy
smiles and acceptance speeches one
major question remains.
Do the Grammy Awards really
honor the finest in recorded music?
A look at the history of the
awards suggests conservatism and
a Jack of recognition for those who
challenge the boundaries of music.
In no other catagory is this more
noticeable than in the Best New Ar-
tist category. Over the years, win-
ners have included A Taste of
Honey·, a female duo who had a
disco hit in the mid-seventies with
"Boogie
Oogie Oogie."
The
following year The Starland Vocal
Band took home the Grammy.
They were responsible for the
everlasting classic, "Afternoon
Delight." Where are these artists

wonders for an artist. In 1983
Wynton Marsalis' career was great-

have realized this from a look at
their spring sales figures. To coin-

If
there is one trend the Gram-
my people follow it is the fact that
only records familiar with the
public beconi'e nominated. It seems
a record must sell a million copies
before it can be seriously con-
sidered for nomination. The Gram-
my Awards fail because they do not
honor the best in recorded music;
they recognize the best that has
entered the top 10.
Until the Grammys view the en-
tire music industry as a source of
creati"vity, the awards will remain
nothing more than popularity con-
tests and promotional tools design-
ed to add another platinum album
to an artist's wall.

"Wildcats" is
.predictable,
but
this does not detract from its im-
pact. Ritchie approaches topics,
such as sexism, academic eligibili-
ty in athletics, problems in inner ci-
ty schools and single parents.
It
is a story of making winners
out of losers. "Wildcats" climbs to
the top of the heap of films deal-
ing with women coaching men's
teams. It deals with the issue and
doesn't go off on tangents.
Ritchie never lets us forget that
McGraff, although she is a coach,
.is feminine. She is often filmed in
soft lights, for example. There is no
need to give up a part of ourselves·
to fulfill another.
Nobody needs to be a loser. If
you have a dream, the conviction,
and forget what the word "quit"
means, anything is possible. Look
at the Central
High Wildcats.

I wouldn't even count on that.
The fact is, dorm rooms were
built for sociability. The paper-thin
walls·and ceilings were designed so
that you can know in an instant
when your neighbors are home and
if they have company. Each crack
was
carefully placed for maximum
contact between neighbors, both
vis·ually and auaitorally.
Dorm rooms were not intended

Are
women on campus more "intellec-

'.'Yup," said a random sample of
Stanford students.
According to the survey. females
classified as "intellectuals" out-
number males classed as intellec-
tuals by a two-to-one margin.
"It's obviously not a represen-
tative sample. However, I don't
think they (Stanford students) are
different than students at other ma-
jor research instirutuions," said
Herant Katchadourian, who con-
ducted the study along with col-
league John Boli.
Stanford students were asked to
fill out a questionnaire on their
course plans and t_heir attitudes
about what they arc studying.
Depending on their answers,
students were classified as "in-
tellectual." •·careerist," "st rivers''
or "unconnected."
While "careerist'' men tended to
ignore liberal arts courses, "in-
tellectual" women often took a
substantial number of liberal arts
courses, and maintained an interest
in ~areers.

"I am not surprised by the Stan-

According to the Associated
Press, Edwards said, "Television
news, to me, is just sort of staking
out its future." He added, "Tl1e
news division is going to be called
on to furnish more and more time
to the television network, and I
believe that's a good sign for the
future."

ing a facility for training students

Bill DeGennaro
The Vassar College· radio sta-
tion,
WVKR,
avoids playing the
albums which most people already
own.
Instead, the station's offerings
range from hardcore to what is
now one of its most popular
shows-polka
music;
"We strive for something like·
channel
13 on television. We want
to maintain a level of professional
quality without having to broadcast
commercials," said Vassar College
junior Adam Serchuk, general
manager of
WVKR .
.
•
The station strives to maintain
an image and format
similar
to
non-commercial
public broad-
casting systems, Serchuk said. But
it must also remember its respon-
sibilities to the Federal Com-
munications Commision, the
stu-
dent body and the surrounding
community.
Located at 91.3 on the FM dial,
WVKR,
with a 1,000 watt capabili-
ty, has a broadcasting radius of
about
30 miles.
Serchuk, a science technology
and
society major from New York
City, said the station attempts to
broadcast in some manner all year
long.
"This summer, we paid two
staff
members $500 to keep the station
-
going six
to
eight hours a·day," he
said.
Yet Serchuk admits that he often
contemplates closing the station
completely over the summer break
to maintain its format standards.
"The
quality of programing
plummeted during the summer
because we were working with disc
'Jockeys
who were riew and
.
predor1inantly

he
explained. ,
Serchuk said the disc jockeys,

Siblings bring a touch
nf
home with them
by Christian Morrison
For many Marist students these
days, going to college is like living
in a George Orwell novel -
Big
Brother is watching them.
These students are among a .
growing number of siblings who
have followed their older brothers
or sisters to Marist.
Fabrice Cuadrado said it didn't
really bother him when he found
out that his younger sister, Estelle,
was planning to attend Marist, but
it did once she got here. "I felt as

happened ... and it better not."

said she thought
her brother Garry would be "real-

said it would be better if her

Both Cuadrados agreed that it
really isn't that bad having a sibl-
ing at the same college. "Her

out in groups before the drinking

said.
John Anderson echoed their sen-
timents .. "The way I thought it was
going to be and the way it turned
out are totally different," he said.
"When I was a freshman and
sophomore, I'd see brothers and
sisters going to Marist and I would
think it was the dumbest thing I

Marist doesn't do anything ex·tra
to recruit brothers and sisters of
current students, said James Daly,
vice president for admissions and
enrollment planning. But when an
application is received from a stu-
dent's sibling, it is given extra con-
sideration, he said.
Daly said that while current
students' brothers and sisters and
other relatives are given more at-
tention, no student would be of-

Garry Ryan said that a brother
or sister should never be discourag-
ed from attending the same college
as an,older sibling, because "it's
really not that bad, and it's easier
on the parents."

Anderson's experience may sum
it up best: "It doesn't make any
difference now. When she first·
came here, I expected the worst.

school, like oil and wa1er. Bur now

students and faculty, keeping the
library collection current and pro- .
viding more seating space are some
of the goals of Marist 's new library •
director.

'' 1 • want the library to be an in-
viting and exciting place where
students can· find· the informatipn
they need," said Barb~ra Hirsh,
who replaced Barbara Brenner as
director of library services on Feb.
3. . •
.
, .
Hirsh's education includes
a
master's degree in musicology from
the Hartt- School of Music at the
University of Hartford and
a
master's in library science from
Rutgers University. She has work-
ed as a reference librarian at
Western Connecticut State Univer-
sity and as a collections manage-
ment librarian at the University of
Hartford.
Hirsh said she wants library staff
to
work more closely with students .
in research access. She explained
that the library should provide
students with- on-line data base
-searching and should also set up a
feedback system to monitor
complaints.
In regard to student claims that
the periodical section is inadequate,
Hirsch said she has begun en-
couraging academic divisions to
work with the library to enhance
curricula and order necessary
literature.
•
Hirsh said she is -also concerned
with the library's seating capacity.
Although the amount of floor
space cannot be changed, Hirsh
said she is ordering new furnitme
to increase the overall physical
seating capacity.

The Library's budget ofapproxs
imately $270,000 for books and
non- print materials, such as video
cassettes, records and films, is ade-
quate, Hirsh said. The problem,
she explained, is where to put the
new materials after they are
purchased.
Hirsch said the library's staff
and administration are its greatest
strengths. '\Tfiey are flexible, en-
couraging, cooperative and in-
terested," Hirsh said. "The poten- --
tial for development of collections
. and services at the library is great," •
Hirsh said.
The library's staff. consists of
five librarians,-two full-time clerks,
two part-time clerks, a temporary
clerk and 20 to 25 students:
The library's
physical ap-
pearance and square footage are its
major weaknesses, Hirsh said_.
"Ideally, I would like the library
tci offer the necessary materials and •
service:; to undergraduates so they
can do all of their research at the
MaristLibrary. Also, I would like
the library to make materiais'and

Dr. Gerry Breen, professor of
sociology, said the idealism of the
late '60s became
a concern for ap-
plication of those ideals in the '70s.
Breen, who began teaching at
Marist in 197 I, said the inspiration
of Dr. Malvin Michelsen,
a
chemistry professor at M,arist for
many years, led many Marist
students to take part in anti-
poverty
programs
in
the
Poughkeepsie area.
Through the federally-funded
University Year for Action pro-
gram,
students
could get. nine
credits a semester and up to 30
credits a year for working with
residents of a poor neighborhood
in Dover Plains, student teaching
at the Franklin Elementary School
on Delafield Street or helping local
residents to organize a lawsuit
against a cement company accus-
ed of polluting the Hudson River.

As a Marist student I'm putting

ANY
Marist student have to feel
that way.
I have friends on the basketball
team. Certainly not all, or even
most, players have anything to do
with my
ill
regard. But those who
do should know exactly what I'm
talking about. As much as I enjoy
the excitement at home games, 1

geis a huge endowment and stops

To the editor:
In response to the lener to the
editor entitled "BattleO, by Douglas
Dutton: The reason why Mr. Dut-
ton ·and cwo • Marist alumni were,
as he said, "forced to leave," was
because he and his alumni friends
were a part of the band called
Funhole. These members of this
group broke many college rules in
their previous performance last
year at the Battle of lhe ~nds.

He made his way up the wooden
steps clutching a ticket stub and
program. He looked around for the
number on the seats that matched
his ticket. When he started to ask
people to move,
I
butted in.
"Don't

. "I don't want to get in trouble,".
he mumbled.
"Never mind that, look, Smits
blocked his third," l said, chang-
ing the topic back
to
the game as
quick as
I
could.

We watched the flow 'of the ac-
tion as the ball was passed from
guard to guard. Finally; Drafton

I
screamed as
I
got
to my feet with 3,000 other people.
I glanced to my side in mid-yell on-
ly to see my new-found friend ben-
• ding over tying his wingtips.
"Whadda doing -
get up and
cheer!"
I
reprimanded him with a
him wi_th amiable politeness. He
slowly raised himself to his feet but
by. then everyone in the bleachers
had already sat down again.
"Sit,"
I said, with a frustrated
tone as
I
jerked the coat of his
three-piece suit.
"Do you know Rik Smits is
ranked in the top t\venty in the
NCAA in field goal percentage?"
he said with ·a professor-like air.
"What?"
I said -· more in
disbelief than· because,~f the noise.
...
_'_'Yes,
it's true." he said.
"I know, I know," I said, hop-
ing he'd catch on that

"And Smits is also ranked in

tone.
•
'
"Add four more to that stat,"
I
said sharply. "He's having a
helluva game."
He was silent for a while but"the
crowd kept chanting and cheering
as Marist clung to a three-point
lead. Smits got a few pc~sonal fouls
and Rudy Bourgarel was subbed in.
The fans shouted "Ruuuuuudy!"
"Why are that booing that tall
fellow?" he questioned.

I
was
thinking, but
I
said, "The guy's
name is Rudy, they're yelling
'Ruuudy' riot booing."
What kind of nut is sitting next
to me I thought? I missed the next
two plays chatting with him, trying
to explain some simple cheering
procedures. It reminded me of sit-
ting next
to
my grandmother, but
she catches on quicker .
"Did you also know that Draf-
ton Davis is among the top ten

tinued. Then he added, "Which
one is Mr. Davis and what is an
assist?"

said under my breath;

The game moved along quite
quickly but this guy could tell I was

some stats every now and then. My
attitude toward him changed and
I felt I had to say something nice,
after all
I
had not been too kind.
Then he said something like,
"What excellent rooting prowess
you displayed, young man."
I nodded, smiled and saw it was
n1y turn to be nice.
Then he said something to me
just as I was speaking to him. In
unison we said, "You know too
much about basketball."
. It was the first time we agreed
and it'didn't bother either one of
us.
I
got two hot dogs for a dollar,
gave one to him and we both reach-

Student seating at men's basket-
ball games might be changed next
year; however, seats will not be in-
creased unless there is a
need,
said Director of Athletics . Brian
Colleary.
. Despite student
Jomplaints
about the amount and location of
seating; Colleary said that there is
more than enough seats, and that
• the location of Marist 's student sec-
tion compares favorably to that of
other schools.
Colleary said he is toying with a
number of ideas to revamp current
seating arrangements, but he has to
see what next year's schedule will
be like. He said that one of the big-
-gest concerns is the number of
home games Marist has during
winter intersession, since student
attendance is low at that time.
Currently, students can sit in the
left-hand third of the bleache;s,
• east of the fieldhouse; the bottom
two rows of the right-hand third on
the same side; and anywhere in the
endzone scats behing the baskets,
Collcary said.
Colleary
said that
Marist
students get a better deal thari
students at many of the schools on
Marist 's schedule.
"Fairfield's student section is
right behind the basket. It holds
-800 and as soon as it's filled, they
stop
(admitting students). lon_a
charges its students two dollars,"
he said.
Marist students pay an activity·
fee each semester and part of the
money goes to the athletic depart-
ment. Through this fee, students
receive free admission to all home
games. You couldn't ask for a
much better deal to watch Division
One basketball,
according to
Collcary.
Complaints that there is_ not
enough student seating are also
unfounded Colleary said. The most
students that have attended a home
game this season is about 420, he
said, so there has been more than
enough student seating. This figure
. represents less than 25 percent of
the resident student body.
Colleary said that if he saw a
need, he would gladly add more
student sealing.
"Students are great at games,"
he said,•• As far as fans, the 300 or
400 students we get arc
the best 300
or 400 fans. I'd like to see 50 per-
cent of the student body here."
Seating arrangements have not
changed drastically from past
vears, according to Colleary,
though he could not say for sure
Tom Bcgg,·a senior from Water-
bury,
Conn.
disagrees
with
Colleary.
"I
saw the tape of last year's
game against L.I.U. a few days ago
and we were sitting right in the
middle (the middle section of the
blcache(s on the east side)," Begg
said.
•
Students always sat in the mid-
dle section last year, he said, but
that section is currently reserved for
ticket holders.
Begg agreed that there is no need
to increase student seating right
now, but he said the student sec-
tion should "definitely" be moved.
"If we're making all the noise,
we should be in the middle," he
said.
Colleary has been very a1Cencivc
to the student's needs, according to
Begg.
"l think if we really fill up the
student section, Brian will move us
over."
Collearv indicated that he will do
anything ·he can for the student
body, but that there was little
chance the students would be given
the middle section.
-
"I don't think there's a bad seat
in the building," he said. "Sixty
feet is the furthest away you can sit.
and that's not bad."
