Large class sizes and the push for

vice president for administration.
"I'm disappointed that the facul-

Some faculty members have
complained that such a check by
administration is unprofessional,
and
they
expressed concerns about
what would be
done
with the list.
While it was
not indicated in the
memo, Maher
said in an
interview
this week that she authorized

checks at the·request of the divi-
sional chairpersons. The

said, were free to

The checks were initiated after a

students complained that Marist
• East and Donnelly seemed empty
by 9 p.m .. said Maher.
Two divisional chairpersons con-
finned that the the need for a check
of night classes had been discuss-
ed at a meeting of the chairpersons'
council, which is composed of the
five chairs and Maher.
While Maher said she had not
discussed the survey results _
with
any of the divisional chairs, she
said the checks did not indicate that
early dismissals were a widespread
problem.
William Olson, chairperson of
the Faculty Executive Committee,
said the handling of the memo, as
well as the check, was an issue of
concern for faculty. He objected to
the release of the memo to anyone
because it did not indicate who
authorized the check or who re-
quested the survey be done.
• Releasing the memo without that
infonnation "was a significant pro-
cedural oversight and a profes-
sional irresponsibility," he said.
In addition, Olson said that
because the memo was vague about
what the results meant, he was con-
cerned that it might unfairly imply
that faculty members were being

study or that traditionally compete
with Marist for students.
To bring the faculty-student
ratio more in line with other
•
schools, Olson said, division
chairpersons have requested
a
total
of 15 new full-time faculty, but the
college has cut that request to eight
or nine.
Responding to the FEC state-
ment, Adin said the college plans,
for the first time in several years,
to hire no new administrators this
fiscal
·year
while hiring as many
new full-time faculty
as
the budget
will allow. The number of new
.
faculty
will depend
on anticipated
tuition income, said Adin.
"It would be great to have a
faculty-student ratio of I to 15 or
I to 12, but half the student body
wouldn't be able to come to Marist
•
(because of increased· tuition
costs)," Adin said.
Adin later disputed the

statistics. The correct student-
faculty ratio, he said, is 13.9 to I.

Lowe's popular feature column is

Lowe visited Professor David
McCraw's "Journalism"
class
recently, and during a rapid-fire,
off-the-cuff hour and 20 minutes,
gave his blueprint for success in the
field:
"You
have

compassion. You
have to believe i! is more important
to pry the truth out of people who
would otherwise hide it than to just
report the news."

He said a good reporter has to
be aware of his ignorance. And he
has to be courageous and self-
confident enough to ask: Is the ob-
vious thing I assume
to
be the
truth, the truth? A journalist, he
said, has a right, even a respon-
sibility, to doubt.
"Ed Lowe, kid from Amityville,

"The responsibility of judging,
choosing and accurately finding
out what they should know is enor-

Lowe majored in English at
Marist and earned a teaching
degree which helped him put bread
on the table in the years while he
only dreamed of writing.

Marist faculty approves
academic honesty policy
by Julie Sveda
Marist recently enacted its first-
ever academic honesty policy, ac-
cording
to
Vincent Toscano,
chairperson for the Academic Af-
fairs Committee.
The new policy was not a result
•
of "a crisis with dishonesty on
campus," Toscano said. Instead, it
had simply been omitted in the
past, he said ..
He added that it would remain
consistent with the college's past
dealings with academic honesty
problems.
"It
is a clear statement of the
college's expectations," Toscano
said. "Essentially, it contains the
same rules as any grievance pro-
cedure. There are certain appeals to
go through to ensure that people's
rights are protected."
The policy consists of three
statements. Part A, which will be
printed in the 1986-87 college
catalog, explains the standards and
expectations of academic honesty
at Marist. The last two parts, to be
printed in the student and faculty
handbooks, deal with more specific
issues, such as the grievance policy.
The text of the new policy asserts
that the college "presupposes the
scholarly integrity" of its students
and should "meet fundamental
standards of honesty in all phases
.
of their academic activities."
The faculty at Marist had never
before collectively endorsed an or-
ficial policy on academic honesty.
Toscano explained. This policy
statement was 1he culmination of
three years of work of both the
Standards and Operations Com-
mittee and the Academic Affairs
Committee, he said.
The Standards and Operations
Committee is made up entirely of
faculty, while the Academic Affairs
Committee
includes
faculty
members Toscano,
Augustine
Nolan and Michael O'Callahan, as
well as student Robin Li1tk.
Toscano said the college utilizes
the Modern Language Association
Handbook's
definition
of
plagiarism: "repeating of another•~
sentences as your own, adopting a
particularly apt phrase as your own
or paraphrasing someone else's line
of thinking in the development of
a thesis as though it were your
own."
The plagiarism policy also pro-
hibits students from gaining acces~
to another's computer account and
stealing programs or "mousetrap-
ping" data bases.

you had a dream that was out of

to get a real job, as if those were
not.
"My
belief-or
crippling
disbelief-was that the son of a cop
from Long Island could not be a

sometimes things happen that force

At 24, with the .birth of his se-
cond child only days away, Lowe
walked into the editor's office at
the now-defunct Suffolk Sun and
bluffed his way into a reporter's
job.
. He spent two and
a
half months
at the ailing paper before it folded
in 1969, but having articles in print
gave him the exposure
and
credibility he needed to pursue his
ambition in earnest. The job offers
came in, including one from News-
day.

Mike Barker talks through hi~ hat(s)
by Shelly Miller
-If you have a hat you want to
hang oil to, you'd better not wear
it around Mike Barker-he may
just rip it off your head and tack
it on his wall.
Rest assured it would be in good
company, for the Marist senior has
a collection of over 100 hats which
he proudly displays on all four
walls ·or his bedroom.
• Although all the hats are
baseball style, the collection is
strictly general. Barker collects hats
of professional sport teams, college
teams, cars, motorcycles, com-
panies or "whatever I can get my
hands on.".
"Actually I would consider this
a pretty modest collection com-
pared to other people's. People
that
collect
stamps
have
thousands," he said. "And it's a
real practical one too. What can
you do with a thousand stamps? I
use my collection every day."
But one cannot acquire such a
useful collection overnight. It took
Barker years to realize the impor-
tance of having enough hats. His
ultimate goal is to equal the collec-
tion of the man who inspired him,
he said.
"I
used to be just a person with
a lot of hats. In 1983 I only had
25," said Barker. "Then I saw a
man from Syracuse on the news
who had a collection of 300. I was
so impressed with him. He really
prompted my decision to start col-
lecting seriously."
Collecting hats has become a
way of life for Barker-you rarely
see him without one on. When he
began his collection he used to wear
a different hat everyday, but now
the collection's sheer size precludes
that.
assignment at Newsday. He dislik-
ed having to call someone who had
just lost a family member and ask
a lot of questions. But until his own
father died, he said, he never
understood what it meant -to the
families
to see those
few
paragraphs in print.
He read his father's obituary
A hat for every occasion ... and more: Mike Barker's
townhouse room is like an equipment room for a pro ball club, •
only a lifetime more creative.

Mark Marano)
"I
.have an elite 10 or 15
I
wear
all the time," said Barker. "My
favorite is a black-- corduroy
Syracuse hat. I wear it the most
probably because it was a gift, I
like it and Ilive there."
But
even
an avowed "hat freak"
knows when a hat is inappropriate.
For example, Barker would never
be seen wearing a hat in church or
in an elaborate restaurant..
"I'm not tacky about it," he
said.
Such a life, however, is· not
without pitfalls.
"I'm going bald and I also have
a wicked receding hairline," said
Barker. "It's
kind of like a
Catch-22. I wear hats because I'm
going ·bald, but I'm going bald
because I wear hats."
Barker also fears that his com-
pulsion with hats is beginning to
run his life.
"It's at the point now where
everytime I see a· store that sells
hats I have to run in and see if they
have any good ones," he said.
His obsession has even begun to
affect his school work, said Barker.
One day he was marked absent in
a class because he d_idn't wear a
hat. He said theteacher<was so us-
ed to seeing tiim.wfrli'one'on:Jhat:·

whlio,.ifone':'::
But will Barker's preoccupation
with hats ever end? "I told myself
I was going to stop when I got to
100 but I havn't stopped yet," said
Barker. "I'm probably going to
keep going-at least until I beat the
record."

The Cloud
Even in its infancy, on a sunny spring day the Lowell Thomas
Communications Center is certainly an imposing sight. Its
gleamimg metal framework and solid concrete walls seem to sym-
bolize Marist's reach into the future. But the darker, cloudier side
of the school must not get lost in the Thomas center's shadow.
Stale negotiations between the Marist administration and its
employees are dulling much of Marist's team spirit. But more im-
portantly, students themselves now feel the effects of escalating
tensions stemming from problems in group negotiations.
The faculty have gone into a slowdown as a tactical tool to pro-
test contract disputes. They are refusing to sign override cards
and have drastically cut back the number of hours they spend on
campus.
The faculty has said its dissatisfaction is rooted in a heavy
- . workload, bolstered by the administration's expectations of in-
creased responsibilites without increased compensation.
Another group of Marist employees, the clerical workers, has
been without a contra_ct for almost a year now.
The Secretarial Clerical Association's affiliation with a national
union and a unanimous faculty vote for job action are more than
simply tactical tools for contract disputers.
They are public statements to the Marist community.
While both the administration and the groups
involved
have
adamantly expressed frustration with the situation, the effects of
the friction, while subtle at times, manifest themselves among the •

Some students have listened to teachers slam Marist policies
or decisions in class. Snide comments or rude words from
frustrated members of otir community have given students reason
to wonder how the quality of services and education they are get-
ting is being affected.
_
•
The administration has said it does not have the money for re-
quested increases. Yet an executive faculty dining room is pro-
ceeding as planned.
It's time for Marist to regroup and re-examine its priorities.
Without the cessation of internal problems, there is no way this
school can continue to be an institution on the move. It may in-
stead find itself in reverse, with the students dragging behind.

Firearms have been as American
as apple pie ever since the first set-
tlers arrived. Later, guns were con-
sidered a standard household item
to be used for hunting, self-defense
and exploring "the frontier." On-
ly within the past century, with the
increase ofimmigration, urbaniza-
tion and a diminshing frontier, has
the unrestricted possession of
firearms, particularly handguns,
come into serious question.
America's
love affair
with
firearms runs long and deep. One
of America's
most legendary
figures of the twentieth century is
John Wayne, a man who vowed to
put a bullet in the chest of every
Native American who got in his
way. Certainly the media, with
television shows such as "The
Equalizer" and heroes such as
Clint Eastwood, only serves to en-
force the idea of the gun as a sym-
bol of manhood and righteousness.
ln order for gun control ad-
vocates to succeed, they must begin
to take the initiative. For too long,
gun control advocates have played
catch up to the NRA's congres-
sional threats. It is time for gun
control followers to start their own
fire, rather than spendii1g their time
defending
against the NRA's
flames.
Of course gun control advocates
have tried time and again to get the
attention of Washington with little
success. In fact, the recent altering
of the Gun Control Act of 1968
took 18 years to accomplish.
But at the present time gun con-
trol advocates have an advantage
they rarely get a chance to use.
That is, the issue of gun control is
back in the news. It's in the
newspapers and on television. Now
is not the time to retreat and think
up new tactics.
They must
capitalize on the salience aspect and
push Congress now for tighter gun
control legislation. We cannot wait
for the NRA to cause a stir in
Washington. We must create our
own,
now.

munication arts major at Marist .

let me tell you that after a while

One night, as it has been proven in

Someone slept through the fire

she was finally awakened by her
resident assistant, the girl left the
, building by the side exit of Cham-

ty guard at the door, and the alarm
had been shut off, and several of
us assumed we could go inside. We
realized that this was a mistake
when no one else was let in to the
front entrance of Champagnat
Hall. If there was a fire, this
mistake could have been fatal.
Such errors should not happen.

The curtain opens to reveal a

an enormous roulette wheel. One
of the RD's steps forward and
begins to speak.

Mary jumps from her seat and

Mary and Patsy walk quickly
over to the wheel as the emcee pulls
out a three-foot-long piece of paper
and begins to read.
"Each contestant, after having

assigned to a particular group by
pulling a number from a hat. All

Docs dodge defe.Jise furids
by Jim Schwartz
WASHINGTON, D.C. (CPS)
-
A
majority of the nation's
physicists opposes the controversial
Strategic Defense Initiative, usually
called the -"Star Wars" project, a
recent national survey of 549
physicists indicated.
During the last year, almost
3,000 professors -
many of them
physicists -
have signed pledges
not to take SDI research funds.
But SDI's research chief said
that, despite surveys and petitions,
his office has had no problems
distributing the research money.
The Union of Concerned Scien-
tists, an anti-Star Wars group that
often takes stands on social and
political issues, commissioned the
nationwide study conducted by
Peter D. Hart Research Associates
Inc., an independent polling service
in _Washington.
"We selected physicists (to ask
about SDI) because they are closest
to the necessary technology.'' UCS
spokeswoman Ellen Dudley said.
By a margin of 54 percent to 29
percent, the physicists said SDI is
a mistake.
But James Jonson, SDl's
direc-
tor of science pf
technology,
dismissed the survey as a poll
of
people who wouldn't know
much
about
the
necessary technology •
anyway.
"It's aimed
at
people
out
of their
arena,"
he
said.
•
Jonson
said engineers
and com-
puter scientists -
people more
familiar with applied technology
than physicists - would have
been
better able to judge whether SDI
weapons
eventually
can be
workable.
Sixty-three
percent of the
physicists who said they know
about the new kind of technology
SDI would require described the
program "as a step in the wrong
direction for America's national
security policy."
UCS's legislative analyst Charles
Monfort hopes to use the survey to
help convince Congress that the
scientific community generally op-
poses space weapons.
"Most people on Capitol Hill are
• lawyers and businessmen, not
scientists," he said, adding the
politicians who have not made up
their minds on the SDI "will give
it (the survey) some weight."
. With
federal
funding
for
research getting increasingly scarce,
the temptation to accept SDI
money has risen.
•
During the 1986 fiscal year, Ion-
son will award about $100 million
in research grants, with more than
$60 million going to universities.
And \Vhile large numbers of pro-
fessors at the Massachusetts In-
stitute of Technology, Cornell,
Princeton, Michigan State and
Il-
linois led the way in refusing to ac-
cept SDI funds, lonson is not too
worried about finding scientists to
take the research grants.
He said his office received 3,500
proposals for research projects this
fiscal year, but only could fund
about 400 of them.
"Nobody (who has applied) has
refused a dime from us," he said.
And of the raging debate about
the weapons, lonson said, "The
controversy underscores
the
need
for research."

Suzanne Ryan was elected presi-

She said she wanted to switch

in programming activities and

said she is approaching the position
with new ideas.

can act as a student leader. I feel

so that it can better meet the needs
of the growing student body at
Marist College. Ryan said that
within the current structure of the
student government it is very dif-
ficult to make changes and no of-
ficial revisions have been made yet.
Current C.U.B. president, Chris
Desautelle, who will be graduating
this spring agreed, with Ryan. He
said the lack of student involve-
ment is the result of students not
being aware of what is happening
with student government rather
than apathy. He was also in favor
of a new constitution which would

In student elections held last
week, Norman Clancy was elected
to the position of Commuter Union
•
president for 1986-87. He ran
unopposed.
Clancy, a sophomore from
Poughkeepsie, has never held a
.
school leadership postion, but he
said the opportunity to be Com-
muter Union president will. be a
good experience.
Clancy isn't sure yet what issues
he'd like to approached next fall.
"Right now I have no concrete
plans," he said. "I'd like to do
something about getting a bigger
lounge or better parking."
Although a large percentage of
Marist students are commuters,

Maher said, however, the memo
. was intended only for the chairs
and clarification of the memo was
not necessary because she was
simply relaying information
they
had requested. "The way I choose
to communicate with my staff is
my business," she said.
Maher added that follow-up
questioning of listed faculty and in-
terpretation of the data were the
responsibilities of the individual
divisional chairs.
Original complaints about early
dismissals were focused on adjunct
instructors, rather than full-time
faculty, Maher said. •

fessor of French and one of the in-
structors listed as not being in class

survey.
"This grade-schoolish approach
is not ·the way you . deal with
mature,. intelligent people. This is
not even the way you deal with
students. We are supposed to be
the epitome of professionalism and
education.
We are. down to
methods of police-state,'' he said. •
Because his class is a semin.ar on
thesis writing for Science of Man
students, it does not meet every
week.
While the faculty may object to
the checks, Maher said that the ad-
ministration had to do something
to verify the complaints.
"It
is
clearly the reponsibility of ad-
ministration to monitor classroom
activities to make sure classes. are
being conducted when they are sup-
posed to be," she said.
Olson said the FEC, which is
made up of the elected represen-
tatives of the faculty, does not have
plans to take issue on the checks.
The
few
faculty members listed in
the memo who received a copy of
it do not want to put their com-
plaints in writing for personal
reasons, he said.
Some of the faculty listed in the
memo are not tenured, Olson said,
and they are concerned about get-
ting their contract renewed for next
year.
Olson said he is not surprised
that the checks were made.
"I
wish
these people (administration)
would spend as much time helping
the students as they do harassing
the faculty. The administration,
especially
under
the acting
academic vice president, has
developed a certain adeptness for
this. We are grateful we have a new
academic vice president coming
in,"
he said.
Responding, Maher said: "It is
my professional responsibility to
ascertain that students are being in-
structed as they would expect to be.
It is in defense of the students that
administration monitors all the
academic affairs on campus. If this
was
not done, that would be pro-
fessionally irresponsible."

Sp(!aker warns students
..
abouteating disorders
by Regina Rossi
Because eating disorders such as
bulimia and
anorexia
affect
such
a
large percentage of college women
they can be considered
an
epidemic, according to Dr. Ray
1.
Schwartz.
•
•
"We seem to be seeing more
bulimics now than anorexics," said
Schwartz, who is a clinical therapist
at
SUNY New
Paltz.
During a lecture held last week
in the campus center, Schwartz said
12 to 25 percent of college females
are bulimic.
Bulimia is the binge-purge
disorder. A person will consume
massive quanities of food then
pl'rge oneself either by self-induced
vomiting
or through the use of
laxatives - often consuming 40 to
50 of at a time.
Anorexia is a total avoidance of
food,
.
a sort of self-starvation
which causes abnormal weight loss.
95
·
percent of
anorexics and .
bulimics are female, according to
Schwartz.
.
"Bulimics and anorexics are very
similiar in how control becomes
very important and in how they use
food as a channel for control," he
said. For instance, he said, an-
orexics like to be around food to
. ·show
how in control they are by
:
not eating it.
•
"Schwartz said people with these
•
diseases are generally perfectionists
who set very high goals for
themselves. "Every day they face
their own imperfections because
every day they fail-it's impossible
not to," he said.
They
are
usually described as the
«good little girl," who always does
well, plays the role of peacemaker
of the family;· takes on all the
responsibility within the family,
always looks pretty, never talks
back and doesn't get angry.
Anorexics and bulimics usually
come from an upper-middle class
family in which independence
doesn't thrive, where every'one is
overly involved with every one else,
Schwartz said.
He said anorexia and bulimia are
similiar to each other and they bear
similarties to alcoholism as well.
Bulimics experience a
"'narcotic
effect, he said, which usually
results in a hangover.
"If
you
substituted the food with drink, it
would be exactly the same as
alcoholism," Schwartz said.
An average binge episode for the
bulimic would last l hour and 20
minutes and 5,000 calories are con°
sumed. This would occur an
average of
11
times a week.
Bulimics, unlike anorexics, do
not lose weight. They usually stay·
average or slightly above average
weight. This makes it hard for so-.
meone to see the disease, although
they do experience some severe in-
ternal medical problems.
.
In annorexia, the disease even-
tually becomes very visible. There
is a 25 percent weight loss, accor-
ding to Schwartz.
Aside from the medical effects,
there are many psychological ef-
fects to consider.
"Bulimics· 1ive in a world of
guilt, shame and fear that is
SQ
detrimental the depression can
become suicidal," Schwartz said.
Anorexics become obsessed with
food, appearance and weight.
•
"They are fighting for people to
appreciate
them.
The
feel
frustrated, depressed and scared."
lt is possible for a person to have
both disorders. Schwartz explain-
ed there is a 25 percent overlap of
people who go from anorexia to
bulimia.
Treatment
for these
eating
disorders can take anywhere from
ten weeks
to
a
number of years, he
said.
"In treatment they take the good
little girl and put it to rest," he
said.
Schwartz also said group treat-
mentfor these people is much more
effective than individual therapy.
"The sense of relief from not be-
ing alone is so powerful and the
support for each other makes the
power of the group phenomenal."
The first thing you have to do
when dealing with someone with an
eating disorder is to decide you care
enough to take a risk, according to
Schwartz. Then you have to con-
front them and basically just let
them know that you are there for
them if they decide they need help.

6-3, but Ghani came back to easily
win the second ·set 6-0. The
deciding third set went to a
- tiebreaker, which Young won to
clinch the 6-3, 0-6, 7-6 victory.
The other singles matches were
not nearly as close as Young's.
Marist singles players Max Sand-
meier, Jim Roldan, Kevin Blinn,
Rich Spina and Joe Guliani breez-
ed to straight-set victories.
Thel,Marist idoubles teams of
Young-S~ridm~ier, Blinn-Guliani,
and Spina~Chris Silvera also won
in straight sets.
The loss to Ramapo College of
New Jersey told a different story,
however. The 8-1 Joss ended a
Marist winning streak of four
straight matches. The Red Foxes'
sixth-seed player; freshman Spina,
was the only Marist winner against
Ramapo.
•
"I thought our guys played
. well," coach Gerry Breen said of
the match against Ramapo. "The
other team was just better than we
were." Breen also commented that
the team is. in good health right
now, as pre-season injuries to
Young, Sandmeier, Guliani and
Silvera have healed.·

When you're not racing,'you'rc
rooting your teammates on to vic-
tory. And when you're not rooting,
you're watching other teams for
technique. There is at least. a half
hour between the times one boat
would race.
So the race is over, what next?
It .starts again on Monday. In ad-
dition to the water workouts, there
are land workouts which consist of
running five to six miles a day, run-
ning up 15 hills and a little
weightlifting thrown in. Just
to
keep you in shape,_ of course.
With all the working you would
be led to believe this is a musde-
head sport. It is musde, but it's a

not win a race. Ravnis said:

Once a week each boat practices
in the afternoon to work on techni-
que.
John McErlain, a junior, likes
doing crew but stressed the amount
of effort it takes to do well.
"It
is
a commitment that involves a lot
of time," he said. McErlain said
the last few weeks conflict with
time to study for exams and do
papers.
With all the time and pain and
practice you would probably think
to do crew you'd have to be crazy.
