the faculty voted to begin two "ac-

negotiations and address several
issues of concern to the professors.
Olson and Adin agreed in
separate interviews that the talks
should be wrapped up this week, in

The players were divided into .
' groups of two and three, and then
each group met privately with one
administrator, according to the
sources, who said
11
of the 14
players participated.
Friday's session began with a
group meeting of the players and
administrators at abol;lt 3:3~ p.m;
in Donnelly Hall. The private·
meetings that followed were held in
various locations on campus.
Sources have indicated that col-

Under Furjanic this year, the
men's team enjoyed its best season
since the college began playing in
Division One five years ago. It was
the second straight w~nning season
for Furjanic since arriving in
Poughkeepsie to take over a pro- .
gram that had not had a winning
season .in nearly a decade.
Furjanic, formerly head coach at
Robert Morris College, was hired
by Marist in the fall of 1984 after
the forced resignation .. of
Mike
Perry, who admitted cotjlmitting
violations of NCAA rules by offer-
ing extra benefits to a player.
In his first season as head coach,
Furjanic led the Red Foxes to their
first ECAC Metro Conference
regular-season title on their way to
a 17-12 record. This past season,
the team received an automatic bid
to the NCAA playoffs after winn-
ing the conference tournament with
- a dramatic overtime victory over
Fairleigh Dickinson.

At
a
meeting of the faculty April
11, 48 of the 50 professors in atten-
dance agreed not to sign override
cards for students seeking to enter
a class over its maximum and to
work on campus no more . than
their contractually required eight •
hours per week.
Olson said this week, however,
that professors are not required to
participate in the activities and may
decide . for themselves whether or
not to do so.
Adin said students should not
be
used as a "lever".by either side in
the negotiations, adding,
"I
think
both sides have the best interests of
..
the students at heart.'·' . •
, - ...
.
.
~·,
Olson said the decision to reject
override cards was not meant to·ag~
gravate students alreadyfrustrated
by an apparent shortage of classes.
"I
think it's important for faculty
to explain to students what the
situation is. If students are con-
cerned about not being able to· get
into classes, they should go over to
Greystone and ask why there aren't
more classes," he said.
Olson said a memo released
Monday by Acting Academic Vice
President Julianne Maher appears
to be an attempt
to
circumvent the
faculty's protest. The memo to the
Marist student body advises
students to seek "assistance with
fall
registration,
including
signatures for overrides" from the
five divisional chairpersons.
Donna Berger, executive assis-
tant to the academic vice president,
said the memo was sent as a result
of the faculty's actions. "It was in
response to that," said Berger,
"because
a
few students were
con-
cerned that they would not be able
to get their overrides signed."
Berger said the chairpersons
agreed to comply with a request by
Maher to sign overrides and that
the memo was not intended to in-
terfere with the negotiations bet-
ween the administration
and
faculty.

Honors programs focus of
study
by Len Johnson
.
The Academic Affairs Commit-
tee last week appointed an ad hoc
committee to
·develop
a proposal
for an official Marist honors pro-
gram, said AAC Chairman Vincent
Toscano.
•
The IO-member committee,
which includes faculty members,
administrators and a student ap-
pointed by the Student Academic
Committee, will evaluate at least 15
potential honors programs and pre-
sent a proposal to the faculty for
approval, Toscano said. The pro-
cess should be complete by October
1986 and go into effect in fall 1987
if approved.
The decision to develop an
honors program is a response to the
.
high drop-out rate among some of
Marist's best students, Toscano
said. "The trigger, I think, was the
revelation of an AAC attrition
report in which we found 50 per-
cent of students who leave Marist
before graduation have a (grade
point) average of 3.0 or better,·• he
said. "That report set off some
alarm bells."
The committee will study the
Science of Humanity Pr9gram
(formerly Science of Man) and a
history program. More submissions
from faculty are expected, accor-
ding to Toscano.
Toscano said the AAC compil-
ed information about different pro-
grams in place at other colleges and
distributed descriptions of
13
of
those programs in a letter to the
faculty early last month.
Many of the programs outlined
in the letter propose rigid entrance
requirements, often mandating
Scholastic Aptitude Test
(SAT)
scores of 1200 or better, as well as
top-10 percent ranking in high
school.
Curricula in some of the pro-
grams studied are equally rigid. A
3.5 gpa minimum in both the
honors course and the major is sug-
gested by one program, for exam-

The final word
To the Editor:
As we close out this academic
year, we would like to thank The
Circle staff for its coverage of our
programs and services in the Per-
sonal Development Center and
Counseling Center. The reporting
has been, for the most part, ac-
curate and helpful in promoting
awareness of our services and of
topics like stress management,
alcohol use, eating disorders, etc.
I offer, however, a strong
criticism of the layout of the April
17th issue. Neither article indicates
it, but the lecture by nutritionist C.
Powers ("Frosh Year: Expanding
Minds and Waistlines") was spon-
sored as part of the series of Body
Image workshops
given by
Counseling and Health Services.
The lecture on Eating Disorders,
described on the facing page, was
the last in the Body Image s_eries.
Eating disorders are very com-
plex, difficult. and · emotionally
painful conditions. We (and your
reporter) learned 'that 12 to 25 per-
cent of college women are affected
and we learned how powerful
society's (and the media's) in-
fluence is with the message that
"Thin is beautiful." It is just this
message that can promote eating
disorders. Directly adjacent to the
article describing the severity of
eating disorders is an ad for a·
weight loss product promoting a
loss of 10-29 pounds a month! The
decision for this juxtaposition was
either unthinking or terribly
insensitive.
Journalists do have a great deal
of power and influence. With that
comes a responsibility that I hope
will be kept constantly in mind.

unusual. Schedules are announced
The Media Center, which has ex-
perienced a 4000/o increase in stu-
dent and faculty use over the past
five years, is now operatin·g beyond
capacity. The move to the Lowell
Thomas Center will double its floor
space and eventually mean the
availability of 40 multi-media car-
rels (currently, there are 15).
Every discipline on campus is
serviced by the Media Center and
its function continues to develop at
a significant pace, notably because
of the potential of interactive
video. It is projected that within the
next five years the center's usage
will double.
•
How will the Lowell Thomas
Center benefit communication arts
majors? The impact has been wide-
ly discussed. Certainly the efforts
of the communications faculty to
develop the curriculum will be
greatly enhanced by the increased
amount of space for production
work and seminars. Likewise, the
proximity of faculty offices to stu-
dent work areas will be a major ad:
vantage to teachers and students
alike.
As competition in the com-
munications industry intensifies,
undergraduates must have signifi-
cant "hands on" experience to
•
assure internship placements and,
upon graduation, a chance at sue-
cess in the marketplace. Well-
equipped studios and computeriz-
ed facilities, such as planned for the
center, are a must.
Complementing
important
facilities is the exciting fact that this
building will be named for a man
•
who is recognized as one of the
great communicators of this cen-
tury. The tying of Lowell Thomas'
name to a quality academic pro-
gram
is
an exceptional
way to carry
his legacy forward.
His multi-faceted life spanned
nearly 90
years.
Marist is truly
privileged

preserve his
legacy
and
.pass
on his ideals to our
students.
This
bond benefits all
Marist students; not just those who
have the opportunity to use the
center, but our graduates as well.
To those of you who are
graduating
this May, I hope that
your overall academic experience at
Maris! has prepared you well for
the future. The Lowell Thomas
Center brings a mark of distinction
to the college, and over the years
can only enhance your Marist Col-
lege degree.

Marist is certainly no exception.

The saying here at Marist though,
means more than just some silly
chant the cheerleaders shout· at

Theater· beats the-·odds
by Ken Parker
For over 13 years, Upstate
Films has beat the odds.
Despite such threats
as
multi-
theater movie complexes and
the video cassette boom, the
non-profit organiz.ation remains
a vibrant fixture of the Dutchess
County arts scene.
The
Rhinebeck
theater
specializes in presenting the
Hudson Valley with a wide
range of films, including in-
dependent productions, art
films, documentary and ex-
. perimental films.
"We're successful in a non-
profit sort of way," said Diane
Leiber, who with her husband
Stephen serve as Upstate's co-
directors. "We've never been
•
under the illusion that we're go-
ing to attract the mainstream
audience," said Diane.
However,
the audience
Upstate does attract is extensive.
Stephen said film buffs travel
• from New York and Albany to
· view the 160-seat theater's
presentations.
Upstate's newsletter, The Flyer.-
is published six times per year
and mailed to over 5,000
homes. An additional 3,000 are
distributed locally. Included in
The Flyer are articles, reviews
and
notes on upcoming
programs.
"The Flyer is our lifeline with
·our audience," said Diane.
Upstate's programming treats
film not merely as a source of
entertainment but as a vital art
form and medium of social
interaction.
"Some people prefer theaters
located in shopping malls with
plastic carpets-and
that's
fine," said Diane. "But our big-
gest strength is that we are will-.
ing to· meet the needs of
specialized audiences.''
Upstate has become known
throughout the country for its
unique and provocative film
program. Many filmmakers and
distribution companies look to
Upstate as one of the best places
in the area
to
premier new films.
. These filmmakers are often on
• hand during the Upstate's
"Guest Speaker Series," which
allows audience and artist to ex-
change ideas and opinions.
"We have asked people what
they like about Upstate and they
told us they enjoy our speakers
series. This will be our focus in
the future," Stephen said.
Upstate began in 1972 when
Stephen, Diane and a partner
. decided to set up a theater that
would show a broad range of
films.
0
We wanted to form an
outlet which would show the
many films which were being
made outside of Hollywood,"
said Stephen. "We were 'mere
youths' at the time and thought
it would last only six months.
Since then it has been an uphill
struggle of sorts, but we enjoy
what we're doing."
·Picking up his infant son,
Stephen said,
"I
don't know if
we'll be here when he's my age,
but we'll
be
here
a
while."

Many of the programs also re-
quire the . study of a foreign
language, "hard sciences" and
math.
..
The l~tter also outlines the
"rewards" given to students in the
programs at other· colleges. They
include such luxuries as personal
computers, honors housing, honors
lounges, scholarships, membership
in honors societies and invitations
to study abroad, as well as recogni-
tion of achievement at graduation.
A revised version of the Science
of Humanity Program, which has
been called the "unofficial'.' honors
program, ··according·_ to Brother
Joseph Belanger, a ·science of
Humanity professor, will be among
the programs submitted to the ad

Toscano said the -Science of

One has to question the .ethics;
motivation and journalistic integrj.-
ty of The Circle when a so-called
"Sports Editor" takes up space
with something so insignificant to
the Marist community, especially
• when the Lacrosse team
is
undefeated and a lot of the smaller
sports are being obviously ignored.
Was this column justified by any
genuine interest around campus, or.
was it just Mr. O'Connor's way of
faking the rivalry of
WMCR
and
The Circle off the diamond and in-
to print?
I can just imagine Mr. O'Con- •
nor running from the diamond to.
his typewriter to empty his feverish
little mind onto paper. It's truly a
shame that someone is allowed to
embarass himself in print by show-
ing how small-minded arid petty he
can be, and it was immature of Mr.
O'Connor
to
make statements that
will
be
on permanent r~ord as long
as Marist exists.
•
• I· submit that Mr. O'Connor
knows little or nothing about the
• ''ever-troubled"
airwaves of
WMCR.
Having been a Circle
writer and a D.J., I have seen this
media rivalry from both sides. It's
taken for granted that The Circle
is more respected by students and
administration, so it is even more
remarkable that The Circle would
stoop so low as to allow a personal
vendc; ta into print.
The fact is, The Circle staff is
composed of Journalism and Ad-
vanced Journalism
students,
whereas WMCR is staffed by
volunteers who are D.J.'s for fun.
Then: :s more a spirit of unity due
to this volunteer nature, ex-
empli, :ed by the softbaJJ game.
WMC :{ was able to field a team,
yer Th.! Circle only had four actual
Circle staffers. Two of these four,

Mc<::lung, 6-3, 175 lbs., is
eligible for two years of playing
time at Marist. Mcclung was
looked at by other schools

in McClung.
McClung averaged 17 points-
