wrong.
.
Waters wasn't dreaming. Last
July, just hours after arriving in
Madrid, Spain with 29 other
students from Dutchess County's
Rhinebeck High School, the TWA
building next to the dormitory
where she was to stay for five
weeks was bombed by Moslem
Shiites.
Exhausted with jet lag and
without warning, Waters and her
Classmates were forced to deal with
a situation they had only read
about in newspapers or seen on
Waters and her classmates were
not allowed to leave the dormitory
that day or use the phone. She said
that presented another problem.
"We were not allowed to use the
phone until 6 p.m. that night,'' said
the criminal justice major. "Mean-
while, reports of the bombing had
been broadcasted on the news ear-
ly in the morning in the U.S. We
couldn't even call home to tell our
families that we were alright."
Waters said she had mixed emo~
-
tions that C,ay.
•
•
"We were curious, and a few of
us went out on the roof to try and
get a look," she said. "1 remember
•
wondering how many more times
it was going
to
happen. It didn't
seem like it bothered the Spanish
.
people at all. They were just going
right along with their business, so
it didn't seem like anything to·
worry about."
w-----
Waters said she believed that the
Sue Waters (Photo by Laurie
ordeal affected some students more
Barraco)
than others, especially two who had
decided to stay up and take a walk
while the others were in bed.
"They were right there when it
happened,'' Waters remembered.
"They ran to the dorm and were
crying and really upset. But after-
wards, it didn't really stop us. We
still went out by ourselves."
Now, months after the ex-
perience, Waters says she still
thinks about it often.
"When I hear of terrorist at-
tacks, I know what everyone else
who experiences it-feels like,'' she
said. "But l don't freak out, and
l don't have bad dreams. It hasn't
stopped me from doing things. I
think it makes me a little more
cautious. Sometimes it seems like
it
happened yesterday. I'd go back
there any time. I could even live
there."
Waters adds with a smile, "I'm
more comfortable in Madrid than
I am in New:York City."

Budget cuts
slash into
veterans' aid
by Laverne C. Williams
Nineteen Marist students will
receive an 8.7 percent cut in
veterans assistance checks in Ai:fril,
according to Joe Armendarez, a
veterans counselor in Marist's Of-
fice of Veterans Affairs.
"I'm just trying to let the peo-
ple who are receiving benefits at
Marist know that their benefits are
going to be reduced," he said.
The cuts went into effect March
I, 1986, and will last until Sept. 30
ofthis year, he said. After Sept. 30,
the rates will return to the original
status of the old GI bill that was
implemented after the Vietnam
War, Armendarez said.
Veterans and their dependents
will see up to $50 cut from
.
their
veterans assistance· checks due to
budgeting restraints imposed by the
Balanced Budget and Emergency
Deficit Control Act, Armendarez
said.

debate team will compete in the na-

Wichita, Kansas, on April 4.
• Freshman Doug Scanlon and
senior Peggy May will represent
Marist's debate team, which is in
its first season.
The Marist team has been rank-
ed 13th in the 'Northeast since
November.
"This year was a phenomenal
success as far as I'm concerned,"
said Jim Springston, head coa~h of
the Marist team: "Wfve laid a
good foundation. Now we have to
bear down and get working on next
year."

Highlights for the new team m-

over spring break and the upcom-

Marist, Springston said.
Eight teams _visited
Marist for its
tournament, which SUNY Albany
won. Springston said the tourna-

every participating member of the

competition.

Scanlon took second place in the

The Japanese visit will mark the

team from another continent. The
British National team debated at
Marist in September. Marist is one
of only two schools chosen to host
both foreign teams.

Lazarus House, the temporary
shelter for the homeless he
founded three . years ago in
Lawrence, Mass.
· As a young man, Petitte
planned to enter the family
business, not the clergy. In fact,
he recounts, when a priest ask-
ed him if he'd thought about the
priesthood, his somewhat ir-
reverent answer was no, because
his Latin was bad and he didn't
play golf.
But a seed had been planted,
and the 19-year-old Petitte
wrote to several religious
orders
seeking information. The
Marist Brothers sent back a
handwritten letter and later
traveled from Poughkeepsie to
Surf City to talk with him.
Petitte joined the Marist
order after high school, in 1964.
After one year of training in
Petitte said his "most ques-
tioning years" about his deci-
sion to enter the clergy came
while he was a student at
Marist. In a recent phone inter-
view from Lazarus House, he
explained that as more lay
students enrolled in the college,
the young men studyin~ to
become brothers were given
more freedom to join in campus
activities and social events.
Petitte was hungry to ex-
perience all of life. and at times
he wasn't sure he'd have that
freedom in the clergy. And as
one of six children, he said, he
struggled with the knowledge
he'd never be a father.
"But I had a feeling God was
calling me to something else,
and that it would demand
all my
time " Petitte said. "l had the
unea'sy feeling something was
calling me to where I am now."

said the forms are valuable
because, collectively, they provide
a sense of what is happening in the
classroom.
"We don't take any one to
heart," he explained, "but they do
make a teacher's strengths and
weaknesses come out."
In the case of consistently poor
evaluations, the chairperson and
instructor outline teaching objec-
tives and the chairperson makes in-

is meeting them, Kelly said .
Even if the poor evaluations are
verified, he added, it may take two
or three years to terminate the in-
structor. This is because the

by The Circle Staff
Two Marist students were ar-
rested following a pair of separate
break-ins at the campus Barge deli
over the past three weeks, accor-
ding to Town of Poughkeepsie
Police.
,
The break-ins, which took place
within a week of each other before
Spring Break, netted the thieves lit-
tle more than cold cuts and packag-
ed
desserts,
said Bill Marx
head of the Seiler's dining service.
Seiler's operates the deli, which is
in the Champagnat Hall basement.

·where they found paint on . the

Waters said security personnel
apprehended Mullane and had him
transported to St. Francis hospital
for treatment of his left forearm.
Mullane, once treated, was taken
to Town of Poughkeepsie Police
headquarters. •
Town of Poughkeepsie detective
Jim Burke said Mullane is charged
with burglary in the third degree,
a felony, criminal mischief, a
misdemeanor, and petit larceny,
also a misdemeanor.
In the second incident, at ap-
proximately 3 :20 a.m. on Saturday,
March 8, junior Martin Handy
allegedly pried the window on the
employee door loose to gain access
to the deli. Waters said Handy, a
townhouse resident, was caught •
leaving the deli by student guard
Vlad Horrego, and added that
Handy was carrying a gym bag
with food in it at the time.
•
Waters said Horrego notified
night supervisors Clyde Wray and
Bill Persons, who arrived to ap-
prehend Handy.
Handy is charged with burglary
in the third degree, a felony.
Both await court hearings at the
Town of Poughkeepsie Justice
Court.
In addition, Steve Sansola, direc-
tor of housing, said Mullane and
Handy have been banned from all
• college housing areas, but he add-
ed that they are still allowed to
enter the campus center and all
academic buildings.

Construction of the new facul-
ty /board dining room in Cham-
pagnat Hall is progressing quickly
and will be complete in as little as
.
two weeks, according. to Ed
Waters, vice president for ad-
ministration and finance.
In addition to serving as a din-
ing and meeting area for faculty
and administration, Waters said
the room will be used for board of
trustees meetings and as a dining
area for guests.
•
·waters
said the Candlelight
Cafe, which is regularly used for
such functions, has become the
meeting place of so many faculty
and student groups that it is no
longer readily available
for
meetings. In addition, the Cafe is
•
too small for the weekly breakfast
meetings of the board. The· new
dining room, he said, is much more
suited to meetings and will be more
•
appealing to guests.
"It gives us an attractive area
where Marist can put out its best,"
he said.·
Asked if the new room. like the
Candlelight Cafe, will be
·used
for
student meetings,
.Waters
said,
"It's primarily for faculty and
board, but I wouldn't say it can
never be used by students;'' The
room, he said, may be used for
meetings between
•
the student
government or other student
groups and administrators.·
.
The main portion of the room
will seat 75 and be divided by a cur-
tain so that more than one meeting •
can take place at the same time,
•
Waters said. In addition, a small,
15-seat meeting area is being con-
structed in
a
corner of the room.
Although there'will be no kitchen,
a separate serving area will be con-
structed at one end of the room, he
said.
Other additions to the room in-
clude
.a
raised. ceiling and. a new
lighting system, and slight renova-
tions may be made to the adjoin-
ing courtyard to improve its
usefulness arid appearance, Waters
said.
Waters said it is impossible to
determine how much the renova-
tion of the room will cost, because
furniture has not been ordei,:ed
yet.

"We are disgusted that we
wasted three weeks when we could
have been working on something
else. The administration must have
known from past negotiations that
such an insulting offer would not
be acceptable to us," Galleher said.
Asked if a low offer was
deliberately made to discourge a
one-year settlement for any reason,
Adin responded: ''Absolutely not.
We expected the secretaries to
negotiate• a one-year contract but
they made no movement. Good-
faith bargaining calls for give and
take on both sides," Adin said.
Galleher
said
the
SCA
negotiating team requested a one-
year contract because members are
angry and frustrated that they
haven't gotten a raise in over a
year. "We thought a onecyear set-
tlement might pacify them for a

Adin said the administration,
also concerned about the welfare of
the SCA members and the conse-
quences of extended negotiations,
had hoped a one-year settlement
could have been reached. "We
want them to get an increase and
we are very anxious to get this settl-
ed. Right now it's bad for the
secretaries and bad for the institu-
tion," Adin said.
With
the
administration
negotiating team now awaiting the
SCA's proposal for a three-year
conract, Adin said he could not
predict when the negotiations
would end. But he added: "A one-
year package looked to the past.
We want to look to the future. We
are interested
in a healthy,
amicable relationship with the SCA
and l think a three-year contract
represents this."

"I think the student body should

Sansola said dismantling and

detectors from triggering the fire

He added that covering the
detectors with sheets and other

prevents the heat and smoke from

Fire alarms caused by malfunc-

also safety concerns, according to
Sansola and Dormeyer. They said
many students don't take the
alarms seriously because they are
so
frequent.
"When the fire alarm sounds,
it's imperative for the students to

Need For-
A--
Stand
The Progressive Coalition has asked a question that still
deserves to be answered: What is the Marist administration's posi-
tion on withdrawing the college's financial holdings from corpora-
tions that do business in South Africa?
No doubt President Dennis Murray's memorandum released
this week may help the community understand the options a col-
lege can take to oppose apartheid.
Murray and the Board of Trustees have called for a Presiden-
tial. Commission of representative faculty, students and ad-
ministration to make recommendations on Marist's course of
action.
While the school's attempt to consider community-wide. in-
terests is commendable, we are concerned that the commission
announcement will further delay the long-awaited college posi-
tion statement on its investments in companies with interests in
South Africa.
•
The burden of formulating a position for Murray and the Board
of Trustees should not be shifted.
The decision on the college's position is complicated by many
factors. The number of students speaking out on the issue is
relatively small and the true goals of the coalition may need
clarification. This, combined with the intricacies of the apartheid
issue, could explain the college's delays.
However, the longer Murray and the Board of Trustees delay
in taking a position, the more impatient proponents of divestment
will become.

This letter is not to all of you,

who don't know how to conduct

in the cafeteria like to eat at clean,

we walk in and have to search for
ten minutes for a table that is not
cluttered with 'rood and trays, it's
more than just a little frustrating.
No one is suggesting that we should
all clean and sterilize the tables

March 27, 1986- THE CIRCLE- Page 7
Latin·· America and the press
by Hector Mota
Democracy cannot exist without
an authentic freedom of press.
Democracy and freedom.of press
· are inseparable complements that
assure the existence of man and his
complete liberty. Ever since man
has been able to communicate, his
• ideas have been faced with all types
of pressures through different
periods of time.
• Since 'immemorial times, the
obligatory silence of expression has
been imposed by dictatorships
around the world. This is very com-·
mon in Latin America. The strug-
gle continues in Latin America to
preserve the freedom of_· press.
Freedom of press in Latin America
is like trying to find a needle in a
haystack. Journalists are. current-
ly fighting with totalitarian govern-
ments to publish their thoughts
freely.
Argentina
In this country, congress has ap-
proved a bill that says that every
publication, article and editorial
must have the writer's first and last
name. There have also been deten-
tions
and threats
to many
reporters.
Colombia
The approval of various laws
clearly restrain journalism in this
country. Publications of opposing
political parties cannot criticize the
. go~ernment in power. Journalists
cannot communicate their ideas
·freely.
Chile ,
Freedom of press does not exist
in Chile due to the restrictive
legislation of the government. The
government controls all major
newspapers and puts conditions on
all new publications. Some jour-
nalists have been detained and in-
carcerated. A renown case was one
of Father Renato Hevia, director of
the magazine ''Mensaje,'' accused
of writing a series
of
controversial
editorials and articles about the
president of the republic.

publish any historical, political or
sion and information. No arrests
religious material without con-
have been made but threats to jour-
suiting the ministry of government.
Costa Rica
This is the only country that en-
joys freedom of expression. The
. government does not interfere with
the media in any way. No incidents
or arrests of journalists have
occured.
El Salvador
It- has been found the govern-
ment continues its discrimination
against "El Diario de Hoy," a ma-
jor newspaper. Many anonymous
calls have been made to "El Diario
de Hoy" threatening the security of
journalists. The Salvadorean socie- ,
ty has accused President Duarte of
a systematic campaign and insults
against the editors and their family.

tion enjoy freedom since Vinnicio

Hugo Spadafora and the forced
resignation of president Nicolas

threats have been placed against
"La Prensa", a major newspaper
in Panama.
Lately 12 incidents have occur-
red in front of the building of "La
Prensa," such as the breaking of
windshields of cars parked in front
of the building.
Without a doubt, the struggle in
Latin America does not offer any
security on how things are going to
end up. Freedom of press in Latin
America will always be restrained
as long as there are totalitarian
governments.

words about how my intellectual
. horizons have vastly expanded
whilst you people go brain-dead in
the. knuckle-head capital of the
•
• . world. But I shaJl refrain and yes,
I know what a • magnanimous
gesture it is on my part. Instead, I
would like to share some of my in-
sights with you.
.
But first, a prefatory note on the
trans-atlantic flights. Jet-lag is a
term so often referred to that it has
become a malady registered in our
intellectual furniture. Everyone has
a lucid misuri.d-::rstanding
of it, as
they do with schiophrenia or the
blues. Jet lag is seen as a temporary
physio~psychological disorder. Let
me clarify the effects of jet lag, us-
ing the -analogy of common
experience.
When I buy beer, I buy a
·premium quality substance that
gives me a pleasant sensation and
. tastes good. If I drink in excess, I
wake up with a headache. I have
acquaintances.that buy beer using
a bulk price ratio. After a moderate
amount of this beer is consumed,
their intestines are scarred and tpey
wake up with irreversible cerebral
damage (they aJso spend what they
save • on beer on bargain air
freshener). Now then, when travel-
ing to England, I flew a prestigious
airline. Upon arrival, I was quite
tired; I slept for ten hours and
woke the next morning refreshed.
I have acquaintances who flew an
airline called "Personsexpress."
The flight was last October and
they still have jet lag.
Emigration
heightens your
perception of the totality and inter-
nationalization of your socializa-
tion. Your culture is virtually an ex-
oskeleton, and assimilation into
foreign customs and mores is as
joining and ant colony.
American culture is based on
commercial products. Last year, I
would have gladly derided the
baseness of the backbone of
American society, condemning its
superficiality with aJI the self-
righteous dogma I could shovel.
But lately; ther:e are quite a few
prissy-assed,
thesaurus-toting,
four-eyed,
Queens-English-
speaking pedants throwing Big
Macs and Rocky dolls in my face ..
And.the f~ct that I carinot get a de-
c~nt pizza or a one-pound bag of
Doritos, or a roast beef hero with
the works is starting to make me
feel caged in.
• But I can deal with it because
England offers undisputably the
world's most impressive gothic ar-
chitecture: garantuaun cathedrals,
with slate roof stained glass win-
dows, marble floors, intricate
wood work and fantastic archways.
And this is-a land with·depth and
richness in history.
But then I come to realize that .
I miss Opus and Binkley. I wonder
if next time
I
sit down to watch
David Letterman will I understand
the jokes. I wonder
if
Mick and
Robin are getting married and
if
Frank and Joyce are getting along.
But I try not to dwell on these
trivial ·forms or entertainment
because I am living in the bosom
of academia, reading Chaucer,
Shakespeare, Milton and Dickens .
Oxford is a magical city. A city
that has been a vibrant 20-year-old
since the thirteenth century. It.of-
fers an everflowing stream of
theater (from Berkoff to Pinter),
film (especially Hitchkock and
Truffant) and lectures. So don't get

The students and faculty who
marched in the anti-apartheid
march were not trying to change
the world, just one small corner of
it - the Marist College Campus.
The march caused a stir in the
Marist community. It got people
talking, and most importantly,
thinking. If you believe that the
problems in South Africa are their
· responsibility alone, you better give
it some more thought. Racism is
everybody's problem. What is now
happening in South Africa is very
similar to battle for Civil Rights
that went on in this country dur-
ing the 1960's.

To the Editor:

puter Horizons Day brought to

and the number of
homeless in their teens and ear-
ly twenties has doubled. Petitte
has little patience with a system
that keeps the needy physically
and spiritually deprived.
"We will be judged as a na-
tion on how we deal with our
citizens," Petitte said. "People
are not content with being poor.
Even what public assistance
gh·es them does not bring them
up to the poverty level."
But in his •,iew, government

Petitte's single-mindedness is
only one side of the coin that
made Lazarus House possjble.
•
The other side is an unswerving
faith in God and a literal inter-
pretation of the Gospel.
"There is such a thing as
grace-it is a powerful force we
take for granted," he said. "In
the Second Letter of Peter we
are called
to
be like Jesus-it
tells us to be by grace what Jesus
is

Gospel, e\·eryone is Christ. At
Lazarus House we are dealing
with an individual who is

The Marist men's basketball

Well, that and the rest of the

Marist had

play a certain FDU, .

contest
went into overtime and our Red

time, go to the National Collegiate

"That's the most by far," he add-
ed. The championships took place
on Feb. 20,-21 and 22.
On the first day, freshman Rob_

record in the SO-yard freestyle with

After seeing the team do so well
in the championships this year,
VanWagner is optimistic about
next season. "We have the
capability of improving our team

he said.
"Hopefully, we can move up one
or two more positons in the next
championship."
trip worthwhile for anybody who
thought losing spoiled it. I'm just
glad they made it that far; they
fulfilled many expectations.
So concluded the Red Fox
basketball season. But other sports
happenings happened here at
home.
Yesterday, the lacrosse team
played its first game against Kean
College in the Knickerbocker Con-
ference. The results were not
available at press time. Seven home
matches are planned for this
season.
The men's tennis team had
tryouts and made cuts down for its
final squad. They_ also played
yesterday, in Bridgeport, Conn.
Ditto on the results deal.
Crew starts Sunday with an away
contest
against
Lowell and
Manhattan Colleges. It is the first
of five away races on the schedule.
Crew also has two home races on
tap. The President's Cup Regatta
is set for April 26.
Other sports came to a close. The
hockey team ended its season with
a 10-6 record. The men's and
women's swimming and diving
teams concluded their schedules
with fine showings, team-wise and
personal, in the Metros. The lady
hoopsters also concluded their
season, while indoor track ran its
last leg for the 1985-86 season.
So for everybody who lost from
that trip home,, from spring break
excitement or just lost-plenty has
happened and is going to happen
here at Marist.

FoxeS earn-Tespect.by.·making NCAA's
by D_~n Pietrafesa_
.
•
Rodney Dangerfield has made a
living out of getting no respect.
.
In some ways, the same can be
said for Marist College as of. late.
Marist was the only school at the
-
first round of NCAA ·champfon-
-
ships in Baton Rouge without
designer t-shirts for sale.
It
wasn't
uncommon
for
members of the Marist faithful in
Baton Rouge to hear the question,
"Where is Marist College?"
A Marist fan would respond by
saying. "in Poughkeepsie,
NY."
"Where's Poughkeepsie?"
"Seventy-five
·miles
north of
New York City.".
Fox followers were waiting for
someone to ask "Where is New·
York. City?," but the question
never came.
The Marist men's basketball·
team earned the respect of college
basketball fans and Georgia Tech
in their 68~53 loss to the Yellow
Jackets.
•
The Georgia Tech team and
spectators at the game had only
positive remarks about the Foxes.
The 10,000 spectators showed their
appreciation by applauding Marist
as the team entered the walkway to
the lockerroom.
All-American Rik._Smits?
Center Rik Smits may have
established himself as an All-
American candidate with his game-
high 22 points against the Yellow
Jackets.
•
•
••
The other fans, when question-
ed about Marist, mentioned how
great the center was.
•
•
"The big guy is going to be
good." That's what I heard over
and over again from other· spec-
tators.
"What,
only
.
a
sophomore?"
•
.
.
The turning point in the game
was when Smits picked up his
fourth foul. The call drew boos
from the crowd. He was forced to
sit, and a Marist 38-37 lead becaine
.
a 54-42 deficit after Tech guard
Mark Price hit five strais!ht
. jumpers.
Price stole the sh~w at this point,
hitting jumpers from all po~itions
oli the perimeter. He finished with•
a team high 20 points.
•
•
Smits quickly drew his fifth (oul
when he re-entered the contest. As
he walked off the court, the 10,000
people in attendance gave him a
standing ovation.
Smits had an uneasy chore in
guarding seven-foot All-American
John Sally. Sally was held to only
13 points and did not play well on
the offensive end of the floor.
The big other difference in the
game was that Georgia Tech shot
60 percent from the field while
Marist was only near the 40 percent
clip. Georgia Tech had 20 tur-
novers while Marist had 19.
Marist earns press
Other than the home.:team Lou-
siana State University Tigers, the
Red Foxes received more press
coverage than any of the other six
teams at Baton Rouge.
.
There were many stories in the

Conference Champions and with
by Ken Foye
.
For the Marist ice hockey team-l
four .losses. in-iis last· six regular
season games meant a dismal end
to an otherwise successful 1985-86
season. The Red Foxes ended the
.season
with a record of ten wins
and six losses.

Despite the subpar finish, the
icemen were still able to qualify for

Conference. But any championship
hopes for the Foxes were ended.in
the first round of the playoffs when
SUNY-Stony Brook outlasted
•
Marist 9-7 on Thursday, March 6.
Against SUNY-Stony Brook, a
team that Marist beat 8-4 during
the regular season, captain Tim
Graham again led the Foxes with
2 goals· and I assist. Two other
Marist seniors, defenseman Craig
Thier and winger Curt Hawkes,
each scored a goal in their final
game as collegiate players.
Two normally defensive-minded
defensemen also tallied points
against Stony Brook. Sophomore
defenseman Rick Race, who had
just one goal and five assists in the
1985-86
season, got close enough to
the Stony Brook goal to score
_two
goals. Another blueliner, freshman
Tom "Fridge" Nesbitt, who had
no goals or assists on the season,
made up for lost time by scoring
one goal arid assisting on two
