Marist College is researching the
feasibility of constructing a shop-

President Dennis Murray.

"It

The ~eekend became a center of
controversy when Marist officials

Seniors who are of legal drink-
ing age will now be allowed to ai-

Many students are pleased with
the new policies.
"If
we weren't
allowed to see the alumni, it would
be more like their own reunion but
now it's the way it should be," said
Trinita McDermott, a senior from
Staten Island.
Peter Pnicnel, student body
president, and Theresa Ruotolo,
senior class president, informed
Rexer of the vast majority of legal-
age seniors.
"It's good that for a change the
students had some input," said
Kathleen Murphy, senior class vice
president. "We weren't ignored
this time."
Rexer said she hopes the students
obey the law. "I hope the seniors
will appreciate the steps that have
been taken to accommodate them
and that things wilI go smoothly so
there wouldn't be any regret that
they were allowed to attend," said

A dm issi on interns -describe life on the road
by
·Don
Reardon
Six Marist students are living a
life on the road this semester as ad-
missions interns - and some agree
there's more to the job than meets
the eye.
The interns try to sell the school
to high school students across the
Northeast. Senior Jean Clements
said her duties as an admissions in-
tern include several visits per day
to
.different
high schools in a
specific region and participation in
college fairs at night.
"When you look at your agen-
da for a given day it doesn't look
that busy, but somehow by the end
of that day you're extremely ex-
hausted," said the native of Staten
Island, N.Y.
The on-the-job duties of an ad-

The Marist College Music
Department will host its fifth an-
nual Medieval Banquet on Sunday,
October 26 at 5 p.m. in the College
Campus Center.
Guests of the program will be
met at the door by the Madrigal
Singers and escorted to their seats
in the Boar's Head Procession.
The Madrigal
-Singers,
Marist
Singers and Les Chansonniers will
perform medieval madrigals and
baletts accompanied by a brass
ensemble.

missions intern are to inform the
public about Marist's programs,
costs and social life, said Clements.
Each intern had to go through a
comprehensive three-week program
designed to familiarize them with
all the questions they might en-
counter while they're out on the
road.
Sean Keating, a senior from
Brooklyn, N.Y., said he had· to
meet with all the divisional
chairpersons to learn -about each
department before he was allowed
out on the road.
,
While out, each intern is given an
expense account and a leased
Renault Alliance sedan to travel
with.
"I'm very impressed with the
way we're treated," said senior
Todd Wysocki .. "We get plenty of
money ·and our accommodations
are always first-rate wherever we
are."
Wysocki, a communication arts
major, said the internship is an
ideal way to gain experience in
public relations.
Clements echoed his sentiments:
"The majority of the people·that
take this internship are people who
are hoping to land some sort of
public relations job when they
graduate, but there's more to it
than that."
"I really love the work and I've
also traveled to places I normally
would never go," said Wysocki.
"I've been from Plattsburgh,
N.Y.,
to places like Hanover,
Mass."
All the interns agree that the
questions most commonly asked
are about tuition, location and
social life, but Keating admitted to
answering a particuliarly peculiar
question.
"A counselor from a high school
·told me that he knew of a girl that·
left Marist because of a drug pro-
blem on campus," he.said. "In a
case like that I just have to explain·
that she might have mixed with the
wrong people on campus and that
every college campus is the same in
that respect.
"Despite that, Marist seems to
be pretty highly esteemed wherever
we go ... especially the computer
science program," said Keating.
Wysocki said Jhat he usually
speaks of Marist's CORE/Liberal
Studies program and the internship
oppurtunities.
•
Keating agreed, saying he usually
explains to people how the intern-
ship program helps one avoid be-
ing sheltered in the classroom
situation.
Clements said she takes a dif-
ferent
approach
when
disseminating information about
Marist.
"l usually avoid the strictly fac-
tual information whenever possible
and try to inform people about the
day-to-day life at Marist," she said.
Although all the interns said they
enjoy the work, several admitted
that life on the road can sometimes
be depressing.
.
"The traveling can be a lonely
•
experience. You live alone and eat
alone," said Wysocki. "I never
thought I'd hear myself say this,
but I really miss Marist when I'm
away and when I do get back on
the weekend, the time flies by too
fast."

A tree by any : name:
An arboretum grows
by
Michael McGarry
"I think that I shall nel!er see, a poem lovely as a tree. "
- Joyce Kilmer (1913)
If Kilmer could walk the Marist campus today, he would be quite
pleased. Professors William Perrotte
•
and Thomas Casey have
started an arboretum, and although it's still in the development
stage, plans call for expansion in the future, according to Perrotte.
The arboretum, a place for scientific study and exhibition of
trees, was started for educational reasons, according to Perrotte.
Since last year Perrotte and Casey have identified 30 varieties of
trees and placed nameplates on 25 varieties. Marist Trustee Jack
Newman has donated· 1,000 shrubs that are likely to be planted
around the Lowell Thomas Communications Center site,
.
said
Perrotte.
.
The information on the nameplate is the tree's common name,
its latin name and a comment relative to the native area of the tree.
The Marist Arboretum is registered with the American Associa-
tion of Botanical Gardens Arboreta. Trees must be labelled, cared
for and be available for educational purposes to be recogniz_ed
as
a legitimate arboretum.
•
•
.
PJans also call for the development of a Herbarium, a place
whereleaves are mounted and studied. Utilizing computer maps,
people will be able to locate a.specific tree, go to the herbarium
and study the tree's leaves, flowers and fruits.
Perrotte said the whole campus will be part of the arboretum,
including the riverfront. According to Perrotte, future plans in-
clude further
'identification
and the planting of more trees.
•
The arboretum will get better with age, said Perrotte. "The ar-
boretum is for future generations. The students now will not en-
joy it as much as those to come," said Perrotte.
.
"Ten to 15 years from now there are going to be some real visual
areas," added Perrotte.
•
.
A tree may grow in Brooklyn, b~t Marist is the home to many
varieties, the most common being the oak.
"I like the oaks because of their size," said Perrotte. "Oaks
always have some activity, some animal in them. I like the hard-
wood."
The ginku and the weeping
willow
are two of the rarest species
on campus, according to Perrotte.
"The ginko behind the library is a huge tree," said Perrotte
.._ "with fruits, a very strong odor and fan-shaped leaves.

,Global
awareness is the basis
of new college
·writing
program
by
Anu Ailawadhi
Some 200 students _taking "Col-
lege Writing I" this semester are
part of, an experiment using a new
book that focuses on world issues
and was created
by Marist
professors.
"Worldwright," the new text-
book, is being used to bring about
•
increased awareness of global
issues, according to Brother Joseph
Belanger, professor of French and
one of the book's cr~ators.
A project to put together a new
writing
textbook
began
in
September 1985, and faculty
members decided in May 1986 to
create a universally relevant text,
according to Eleanor Montero,
director of the Writing Program.
Currently, students in 10 sections
of "College Writing I" are using
"Worldwright." There are a total
of 24 sections of the class.
An effort is being made to ensure
the use of the book in all writing
class sections by the school
·
year
1987-88, according to Belanger.
The first four units of the book are
being used this semester; after
midterms, the second half of the
book will be put into use.
Belanger said he expects the
"College Writing II" section of the
book to be available to freshmen
in January.
"Worldwright" will help pro-
mote good writing by causing
students to think, according to Dr.
Donald Anderson, assistant pro-
fessor of English. "Good writing
comes out of a sense of wonder and
wondering and the desire to ask
questions," said Anderson.
According to Montero, the book
emerged from the need to teach in-
ternational issues.
"It
started from
the concern of faculty and students
and
.
the community about global
'If students aren't
aware that we are part
of the global family,
then forget it. They
are not educated. '
awareness," said Montero.
Included in the text are such
topics as business and astronomy.
Within each unit are stories, nar-
ratives and discussions about
global issues. Almost all of the
essays are either about foreigners
or written by foreigners, according
to Montero.
The response to "Worldwright"
has been positive, said Belanger.
"Students are very excited. It's
worked out extremely well in terms
of interest, and students will write
better if• they are interested," he
said.
Students in the project seemed to
agree. "I like the book because of
the variation of topics. It's an in-
teresting book because you learn
about other cultures, and it's not
like other textbooks because there
are different viewpoints used under
one general topic," said one stu-
dent who asked not to be
identified.
The most popula·r writings
within the text are the narratives,
according to Beverly Schneller, in-
structor of English.
Earlier this semester, foreign
faculty and students gave a seminar
for the students, and
it
was receiv-
ed quite well by the freshmen, ac-
cording to Belanger.
David Esser, a freshman from
Huntington,
N.Y.,
agreed. "I saw
one speech done by foreign facul-
ty and students, and it was in-
teresting to hear about
•
the pro-
blems they faced when they came
to the U.S. and also about their
own personal cultures."
Beianger stressed the need for
education of global issues as the
reason for the new program.
"There is no other way to go in
education today. If students aren't
aware that we are
part
of the global
family, then forget it. They are not
educated," he said .

listeners were informed and enter-
tained
by
the
72-year-old
economist,
whose
wit
•
was
refreshing
in
·the
midst of
sometimes technical jargon.
Samuelson said he had seen a
measure of skepticism
from
American businesses and families
for the first time since the economic
recovery, which began in
1982.
"Polls say consumer confidence in
the last month or two has been slip-
ping," Samuelson said.
Samuelson stressed his concern
about the balance of trade deficit.
"We are still importing a lot more
than we are exporting. This is a
grave problem for the American
economy." He added, "We, as
Americans, are selling out the farm
to pay for our splurge of imports."
In addition, he said, "our col-
ossal fiscal deficit should be prun-
ed back." He attributed $60 billion
.
of the $220 billion -deficit to the
almost 7 percent unemployment
rate.
Although Samuelson stressed
there was no one cause for these
features of the economy, he said,
"If
I were pressed hard for one
single cause, I would have to say
it is the budget deficit."
He described Americans as "low
in thriftiness," comparing the
average family that saves approx-
imately 4
co
5
percent of its income
to the Japanese family, which saves
20 percent, and the German fami-
ly, which saves 18 percent.
This lack of thrift spreads to the
public sector, which, according to
Samuelson, "is the devil's recipe
for a low-saving, high-spending
economy." He added a jab at
President Reagan: "The Lord will
forgive him, for he knows not what·
he does."
At the reception later, President
Dennis Murray described the lec-
ture as "first rate." He added, "it
is rare to find a man with such in-
tellect who can make such a
dynamic presentation."
Dr. John Kelly, chairperson of
the Division of Management
Studies, who arranged the lecture,
said he was dissappointed in the
student turnout, but "thrilled with
the
lecture
and Samuelson
himself."
Samuelson's wit remained un-
daunted by the eager questions
from admirers throughout his visit.
When asked to autograph a first
edition of his nationally used text
- now in its twelfth edition - he
laughed while signing the book,
and said, "I can always tell the age
•
of a woman by the color of my
book she's carrying."

The view from abroad
by Elizabeth Geary
Christine Klein had not seen her uncle from Germany in 17 years.
She cannot speak German and he cannot speak English. After their
reunion last year in Germany, Christine and her uncle traveled
•.
around town looking for
a
pair
of
earrings and split a bottle of
wine in a restaurant that was part of an old c.astle, spending the
entire day using pantomime t<>"
communicate.
e
Klein is one of 22 students who participated in the Marist Abroad
Program last year. The program was started by Brother Joseph
Belanger in 1962, and the majority of students who participate are
juniors and seniors.
.
"It gives you a chance not only to visit the country and see places;
but to actually know and learn and become part of the culture,"
said Klein, a communication arts major who attended Trinity and
All Saints College in Leeds, England.
Kieran Alex Murphy, a senior majoring in English who attend-
ed Manchester College in Oxford, England, agreed.
"I had a good time because it is a completely separate culture
but the communication barrier is not there," Murphy said.
•
Some students, however, find it hard to readjust to the Marist
lifestyle.
.
"It was difficult to get back into the swing of things at first,"
said Laurie DeJong, a senior from Northport, N.Y., who went
to University College in Galway, Ireland. "I felt like a freshman
again."
James Fedoryk, a senior communication arts major who attend-
ed L'Etoile in Paris, also said adjustment was a problem. "Being
away for so long, I've gone through changes,•' Fedoryk said. "The
friends that I left behind have also changed but in different direc-
tions."
The consensus among Marist Abroad Program students has been
that they would go overseas again if given the opportunity. "How
can you keep them in Poughkeepsie when they've se~n Paris?"
asked Jeptha Lanning, director of the Marist Abroad Program.

Marist
•
prof assesses impact
of Danilof f case~ new
·suminit
by Michael McGarry-
The Soviet Union released
American
reporter
Nicholas
Daniloff to clear the way for this
month's disarmament summit bet-
•
ween President Reagan and Soviet
leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev, ac-
cording to Casimir Norkeliunas,
assistant professor of Gentian and
Russian at Marist.
Daniloff was arrested on Aug. 30
after a Soviet friend handed him a
package with two maps marked top
secret. The arrest came one week
after Gennadi F. Zakharov, a
Soviet employee at the United Na-
tions, was arrested for spying. U.S.
leaders told the Soviets the
Daniloff arrest severly damaged the
chance of another summit meeting
taking place.
On Sept. 29 Daniloffwas allow-
ed to leave the Soviet Union and
Zakharov returned to the Soviet
•
Union. The United States also ob-
tained the release of a Soviet dissi-
dent. President Reagan and Gor-
bachev will meet later this month
in Iceland.
Reagan was quoted
as
saying the
Soviets blinked in the Daniloff af-
fair, and Norkeliunas said he
agrees. ''I guess they blinked. They
backed down in the stalemate, not
wanting to abort the upcoming
talks," said Norkeliunas.
Norkeliunas said, however, that
he believes the United States lost
prestige in the eyes of the Soviet
Union because the Soviets manag-
ed to manipulate the situation by
.arresting
an innocent man and
holding him hostage.
Norkeliunas said his opinion on
Daniloff is based on the assump-
tion he wasn't a spy. "All in-
. dicators are that he's not a spy.
There have been enough recent
withholding of facts by our
-ad-
ministration to create a feeling of
skcptisism about what is being
said,,,
said . Norkeliunas.
Norkeliunas pointed to the news
blackouts during U.S.
action
against Grenada and Libya as ex-
amples of the Reagan administra-
tion's not giving the public the
whole story.
The Soviets have three reasons
for wanting to reach an arms agree-
ment, according to Norkeliunas.
First, an arms agreement would
give the Soviets a chance to increase
their own production of consumer
goods, he said. "Their past and
present five-year plans have
prioritized their national budgets
for military and scientific research
at the expense of raising the stan-
dard of living of their own peo-
ple,"· said Norkeliunas.
-
The Soviets would also look to
delay U.S. arms programs like Star
Wars to give thein a chance to
catch up to the United States
militarily, said Norkeliunas. He
said delay tactics have always been
used in foreign diplomacy by the
Soviets.
Students await P~ll grants
because of new paperwork
The third reason is provided by
the threat of nuclear war. "The
U.S.S.R. realizes to the dangers of
nuclear war," Norkeliunas said.
"They may be genuinely concern-
ed
-about
cutting back on nuclear
weapons production."
The relationship between the
peoples of the countries is better
than that between their leaders, ac-
cording to Norkeliunas.

Thousands of students nation-
wide have not gotten their promis-
ed Pell Grants yet this fall, aid ad-

Officials said new U.S. Depart-
ment of Education paperwork has
complicated the process of getting
the grants to students, who normal-
ly have gotten grants and handed
them over to their colleges by now.
In Texas; public colleges have
loaned millions of.' dollars to
students still awaiting grant

•
tor Arthur Jackson.
there were lots of remarks, and we
immediately· tried to turn things
around by reducing some of the
obstacles to quick verification, not
by reducing paperwork," Tripp
said.
Under the new rules rushed out
after August, administrators could
verify aid information even if not
all the paperwork was finished.
,"We_
appreciate the. revisions,
.
but'th'eY were kind of1ate;'' said.
Leo Hatten, aid director at Eastern
New Mexico Uniyersity.
The Cold War has existed since
the 1950s, and Norkeliunas said he
doesn't see an end to it in the near
future.
.
"The Soviet Union is unwilling
to drop the Iron Curtain between
its people and the people of the free
world. When the day comes that
the Soviet leadership is willing to
open its frontiers to the exchange
of ideas, of information, of news
(and allow) free travel back and
forth, and when the repressions are
mitigate<l, only.then
will
the Unitecl
States open close and friendly rela-
tions with the Soviet Union."

The Circle can heJp in increasing Marist's awareness of the
world outside campus -
but you've got to do your part.
The Circle, as it should, concentrates on the issues in our own
community within the boundary of the campus. In addition, to
keep you up to date on what's going on at other colleges and
universities, we have beome a member of The College Press
Service.
But we also want you to share your ideas about what's going
on nationally or internationally ..
• Several years ago, the Viewpoint page came into existence for
that very reason -
to give you a chance
to
speak up.
Obviously, we can't cover events in Washington or Lebanon.
But we think that members of the college community, students,
faculty and administrators, are aware of global affairs and have
great insight into problems and, perhaps, their solutions.
We see the Viewpoint page as an opportunity to share and gain
knowledge, to increase our curiousity and stimulate our minds.
Why not make an effort to share what you think about the
world? Our next deadline is Oct. 27. Send in your Viewpoint to
Len Johnson, c/o The Circle.

Housing problems
To the Editor:
I recently read an article from
the Sept. 18 Poughkeepsie Journal
titled: Marist Cited for Violating
Building-Code Regulations. As a
Senior who is well-versed in Marist
College housing procedures and
practices, I was shocked to learn of
the offenses cited against the col-
lege.
It
appears to me that a few in-
significant housing factors ap-
parently slipped by the hawk-eyes
of Steve Sansola and Mr. Edward
Waters, those being: a ceiling only
seven
feet
high,
insufficient natural
light, insufficient ventilation, an
unacceptable fire escape, and a
wooden panelled hallway, a fire
hazard.
As a former resident in one of
the pseudo-campus housing struc-
tures located on North Road, I
can't help but question where
Marist administration draws the
line between practice and policy.
Everyone has heard countless
stories of students being evicted
from campus or fined in excess of
$300.00 for tampering with fire
equipment. When I questioned
Steve Sansola on college policy and
fire codes, he assured me that any
infringement of the fire code,
no
matter how small or insignificant,
would have to face the full wrath
of his administration.
• Surprisec1 and confused by the
statement, I took my question a
step higher to Mr. Peter Amato,
who eloquently stated; "What he
said."
Now that the college has found
itself an offender of a policy it so
stubbornly and concretely en-
forces, students may have hope for
meaningful change to take place
within our college community,
change that will draw Marist prac-
tice and policy closer. Perhaps the
administration will be more sym-
pathetic to the student who is a first
time offender of a policy, and
causes no physical or economic
harm to the college.
As for the future of Marist
pol~cy, Edward Waters, vice presi-
dent for Administration
has
•
already begun
to
put Marist back
on track by truthfully stating:
'Marist was unaware of the (fire
code) requirements ... (and that) the
college appreciated learning of the
violations."
Mr.
Waters will con-
tinue his current project of oversee-
ing the production and completion
of the Lowell Thomas
'Com-
munications building. -

World hunger
To the Editor:
World Food Day, Oct. 16, gives
us an opportunity to consider some
facts related to global hunger.
Presently, some five hundred
million people experience hunger
on a continuing basis, that is, one
out of every IO people on planet
Earth, approximately 30 million
people in America.
The average person in the
developed world consumes more
,
than 3,000 calories a day while a
person in the developing world gets
about 2,000 calories. It should be
remembered that a body at rest
needs 1,600 calories daily.
In rural areas of poor countries,
the caloric intake of people is well
below the required
1,600.
There
were long periods during the Ethio-
pian famine when a person· receiv-
ed less than 800 calories a day.
Needless to say, malnutrition was
rampant, starvation and death
common,
especially
among
children under five and expecting
and· lactating mothers.
For a variety of reasons, mostly
man-made, the lives of some 200
million people in Africa will be
threatened for years to come
because of severe food shortages.
Weak political structures, cultural
deprivation, poor agricultu,ral
policies, and economic exploitation
are some of the causes that effect
the lives of the poor who hunger.
However, there is enough food
produced each year in the world to
feed every person on planet parth.
We, the international community,
have the know-how and ability to

There are those who contend
that lion-hunting is the most
dangerous sport in the world.
Others, however, maintain that
mud-wrestling with alligators is
even more dangerous. Still others
•
argue that telling a man on April
14 that "money isn't everything,"
is by far the most hazardous to
one's health.
As
4angerqus as all
these are, they pale in comparison
to the most feared sport of all,
though-club work.
•
Go ahead and laugh if you
will,·
but it's true. People sign up for
clubs with
an
enthusiasm that is
beautiful to behold, but as soon as
the notice for the first meeting is
posted, fear begins to set in. It's a
small thing at first; surely all those
stories they've heard can't be true,
·
they're just rumors. Nothing could
be as bad as they say, could it?
Surprise.
It starts out gradually, just to
ease the trusting new members in
gently. Maybe it's a bake sale, or
.
a flower sale, or something equal-
ly
harmless. As you sit in Donnel-
ly, saying hello to all your friends
•
as they pass by, you begin to be
enveloped in
a
false sense of securi-
ty. Hey, didn't the club president
say this was going to be a lot of
/
chicken, tossed potato chips and
Vienna sausage en !'air. As you
duck under the table
to
avoid the
biodegradable missiles, your only
thoughts are of the next day's lead
story at the Poughkeepsie Journal:
"Student dies due to bad table
manners."
Provided you survive the first
test, that of the mixer, you may
now move on to the next level of
play-Hoi:neco~ing.
Though some misguided people
believe that the only ones in danger
during homecoming are the foot-
ball players, and anyone who inter-
rupts a tailgating party, such is not
the case.
•
The real hazards of
Homecoming are' to found in the
construction of the floats for the
Homecoming parade.
At first the idea seems simple·
enough. You throw together a few
pieces of wood, pile it,, and
yourself, onto a truck, and ride
around the football field. Real
tough. This is, of course, before
you are confronted with the reali-
ty of the situation: one ro·n of
poster paper, three cans of tloures-
cent paint, 12 r<;>lls
~f toilet paper
and
50
feet of chicken wire, which
you have six hours to tum into
Cinderella's castle, complete with
moat.
Unfortunately,
Homecoming
comes only once a year, but if your
club president is still out of the
straitjacket more than he/she is in
it, you still have
a
lot more chances
to prove your courage and daring.
For example, there is the everpre-
sent Torture by Poster Making.
This game tests not only your
·
stamina and your spelling, but also
your capacity to inhale the noxious
fumes given off by the markers. It
also tests your ingenuity in explain-
ing to the.~omi:nittee
chairperson's
.
housemates why
.
their floor has
been branded with a scarlet "A."
Also
a·vailable
for
your
masochistic pleasure is the joy of
sliding flyers under doors in the
residence halls, and dealing with
whatever snarling, paper-hating
monsters they may draw out of the
woodwork.
If
that isn't enough for
you, there are also barbecues where
the chief guests
.
are bumblebees
(but you can't see them through the
smoke, so that doesn't count), ice
cream socials where surviving club
members can be found clinging to
the wrecks of hot fudge sundaes,
and lectures which not even the
speaker is dumb enough to attend.

Come to think of it, maybe club
work isn't"so dangerous after all.
I mean, the fatality rate isn't that
high.

The war
on drugs:
Reagan's
mistake
by Richard Gianniccbi
On Monday, Sept. 14, President
Reagan signed a proposal which
will begin what may be the world's
boldest offensive against drugs.
The proposal calls for, among
other things, an increase of $893
million in federal spending ear-
marked for fighting drugs.
The signing came a day after the
President and Nancy Reagan made
a joint appeal for cooperation from
the American people in the "war"
against illegal drugs.
Though Reagan is correct in
stating that there is a dire drug pro-
blem in America, his mis-directed
spending will do little to relieve this
crisis.
The president plans to attack
drugs on many fronts, but his most
misguided spending will be in
foreign drug-producing countries.
Working in conjunction with these
foreign countries to eliminate the
production of drugs is not unlike
playing the popular amusement
park game called "whack the
mole."

Believe it or not,
we like Marist
by Christine A. Klein
Three cheers for Donna Hood's
Viewpoint in the first issue of The
Circle. I too share the feeling that
Marist is no joke.
Donna alluded to the fact that no
one forced you to come to Marist.
It was your choice. I hesitate to
say "love it or leave it," but there
must be some reasons you chose
Marist -
aside from the Lowell
Thomas Center. And there must be
some reasons
•
you are staying -
aside from friendships.

I don't think Donna Hood and
I are the only ones who like Marist.
I may be idealistic, but I think that
beneath all the jokes, there are hun-
Maybe that's what I am and
never realized it. Or maybe I'm tur--
ning into one of those sentimental
seniors who can't figure out where
these past three years went. Back
in 1983, the year 1987 seemed like
an eternity away. Now, no matter
how badly I wish the weekend
could arrive, I don't want the
weeks to fly by.
Perhaps, it is also the fact that

back of my mind I seemed to con-

ed, another will pop up because of
the tremendous profit that is in-
volved. In this "game" the only
winners will be the drug producers
and the smugglers. Everyone else
will lose.
•
Another problem with Reagan's
plan is that these countries (Colum-
bia and Bolivia) are tolerant of
drug production because it means
huge cash flow, which helps to
stimulate
their
economies.
Moreover, the buying out of
government officials is a common
practice in these countries.
Thus it may be impossible to ob-
tain accurate information about
drug producers. A few large drug
hauls which sound impressive on
the evening news, and a few
scapegoats who are convicted, may
be all a foreign government needs
to keep U.S. aid rolling in.
Even if the U.S. is successful in
stopping the
influx
of drugs from
foreign countries, we will not have
resolved the problem. The presi-
dent is mistaken in his opinion that •
America's drug problem is caused
by the great volume of illegal drugs
brought into our country every
day.
The problem lies in the tremen-
dous demand for these substances.
A part of U.S. history which
parallels this situation is the period
of Prohibition in our country. It
came about at a time when alcohol
was viewed as a great threat to
society. The result was the ap-
pearance of bootleggers, who il-
legally produced and imported
alcoholic beverages into the United
States. The problem then, as it is
now, was not the amount available,
but the tremendous demand.
Reagan's speech was a call to
arms in which he asked us to cap-
ture the spirit of comradery that the
country experienced during the Se-
cond World War. Perhaps a more
fitting
analogy
would be to liken
this war to the Civil War, because
the front on which we should be
fighting on is right here in America.
The root of this evil is a sqciety
which accepts and even glorifies
this self-destructive behavior.
The only way to cut the demand
for narcotics is to make drugs
socially unacceptable.
Unfor-
lunately, this solution is one which
will not be realized overnight, and
many tragic deaths will occur
regardless of any defense taken
against drugs.
The young must be educated
over and over again about the
dangers of drugs. Educational pro-
grams must be instituted in schools
at all grade levels.
Those who seek help for their
addictions must receive the help
they need. There are rehabilitation
programs throughout the country
which have waiting lists several
months long.
The president's spending should
be used to establish more of these
programs so that all who seek help
can receive it immediately. These
steps together with the passing of
stronger legislation and the enabl-
ing of courts to more quickly con-
vict repeat offenders will do more
to remedy this crisis than all the
commando raids Reagan can
finance.

like Marist.
I'm probably just a fag. People
will talk about me behind my back
more now than ever before, now
that l've confessed.
On the other hand, something
miraculous may happen. If you
just say to yourself,
"I

Maris~" you may find there are
people like you and me who were
afraid to ad~t it at first.
You've come a long
way, baby on board
Perhaps right now you're just a
closet Marist fan. Perhaps it is dif-
ficult to admit that you do like this
place.
-Maybe
we should form some
kind of club - Marist anonymous.
Then we could secretly discuss why
we like Marist.
The first step in becoming a
member would
be
to admit to
yourself that you actually do like
Marist. When you think .you're
ready, just say out loud,
"I
like
Marist." No lightning bolts will
strike you down. You will not be
doomed to an eternity of listening
to "Crazy Eddie" commercials,
nor will you be forced to sit
through 103 straight episodes of
·"Small
Wonder."
But it won't be easy. You'll have
to deal with nonconverts who will
put down Marist any chance they
can. The slightest thing may go
wrong and the school you like will
be put to blame. All around you
people will be shrugging their
shoulders and saying, "That's
Marist."
If you try to stick up for Marist
by pointing out that all colleges
have institutional food or maybe
that speed bumps will increase safe-
ty, you may'become a social out-
cast. You may be called a ... oh,
God, I
can
barely say it ... you may
be called

And then maybe, just maybe,
there might be a time in the future
when Marist-likers will be in the

I don't know if I can handle the ex-
citement of the thought!
Now I'm getting too excited.
That would be impossible. Ma~st

The bumper sticker has taken a
backseat these days (pardon the
pun) to those little yellow signs that
people hang in their back windows.
You've seen them, the ones with
the cute messages like "Ex-
Boyfriend In Trunk," and "Life Is
A Beach." Then there are the
serious pnes like "Child On
Board," and "Baby On Board,"
which really started the whole
thing.
A lot of people don't think that
the parodies on the child safety
signs are funny, but I like them.
They look neater than faded and
peeling bumper stickers, and they
do have a sense of humor. Not
everything in the world can be
ramrod serious.
These signs can be carried to the
extreme though. Some people have

from people reading them and not
watching where they're driving. I
know that sometimes I'm more
tempted to watch the signs and see
just by visual appearance whether
or not there really is a "Childish
Adult Driving."
Or what sort of person would
put their "Mother-In-Law
In
Trunk?" They're certainly more in-
teresting than the scenery along the
New York State Thruway.
The signs bring about a lot of
questions. What type of person
would put a sign in their back win-
dow? I'm sure that somewhere
there is a psychologist who is for-
mulating a theory on what you can
tell about a person by what type of
sign he puts in the back window of
his car.
.
What hidden insecurities is he
trying to let go of? Is there a book
in the making somewhere, that lets
us in on the deep dark secrets of the
mind that would put
"I
Owe,
I
Owe, Off To Work I Go" in a car
window?
In this age of Yuppieism,
anything could be possible.
Personally speaking,
I
would
love to put a little diamond shaped
sign in the back window of my car,
.. .if I had a car. But since I share
a car with my mother, it just
wouldn't be the same. Anything I
put in it would be subject to paren-
tal approval, though there might be
a few messages that we could both
agree on, like "Radio ln Car Not
Worth Stealing."
The creator of those "Baby On
Board" signs said that he was
merely looking out for children's
safety on the highways, and not to
invent a new method of highway
communication. Has he created a
monster, or is this just a fad that
will go as quickly as it came?
I read that the sales of those
parody signs was decreasing. Could
the signs be nearing the end of their
reign on the highways of America?
It all remains to be seen (literally)
in the back windows of America.

Tender Hooks, part two
by
Kieran Alex Murphy
The phone rings. It's Kev and the
guys; they want me to come out at
least for a round of phenobarbital.
I say,
"I'll
catch up with you
guys," which is a flat-out lie. While
I'm on the phone, my little sister
comes in and puts a slice of pizza
in the microwave, setting it for
three minutes. I don't have the in-
clination to rush the last part of my
conversation with Kev and prevent
this disaster. And two minutes
later, as my sister watches through
the window, a mozzarella puddle
forms on the carousel of the
microwave. With the fervor of a
geriatric patient railing against
technology, this 9-year old says,
"Oh! This stupid thing must be
broken!"
In a restrained voice I

say,
"Dear, you can not put real pizza
in the microwave, especially for
three minutes. First, that's enough
radiation to kill a woolly mammoth
and, second, the water in the dough
boils before it's completely
heated."
My sister, who got a badge in girl
scouts for sarcasm, says, "Thanks
Mr. Science, I'll give you a call the
next time we have a pasta melt-
down and you can write up a flow-
chart."
The phone rings again, it's
Melissa. She asks, "What are we
doing?," like I was late for work
or something. I tell her I'm going
out with my friends and she says,
"Then why did you call me?! I
could have made other plans
tonight. It's not like I spend my
whole life working for you."
•
I say, "Yeah, but it's not like
you spent your whole life develop-
ing a personality either." Not a
micro-second later, the phone emits
a sharp click. Bye Bye Melissa.
It is 7:41 p.m. when I go up to

Liquid Man and Dull Boy had a

Hardcore vs. metal:
some conclusions
by Eric Turpin
Metal: a mood, a style, a way to
drive your parents, and some
senators' wives crazy. A form of
.music
that has just about survived-
every single music craze over the
last few years. For years in the early
'70s, bands like Deep Purple and
Led Zepplin were very dominant
forces in the world of rock and roll.
In the last few years.there has been
a nouveau movement in the world
of metal. All of the sudden, drum-
mers were pounding out these in-
credibly fast drum times, and the
guitars were more subdued where
the sounds became thick. Really
thick! This caused a shake up in the
world of metal with bands like:
Metallica, Venom and Slayer
started ripping the music world
apart with their themes of violence,
sex and total annihilation.
number of people I talked to, only
one wanted to be quoted. Sort of
tells you something, doesn't it?
I then popped the big question
on these daring metal fans. Is there
a difference between the two forms
if you take away all of the esoteric
material and just look at the
material meaning the music? All
answers were yes. Everyone.... I
mean everyone, thought that metal
was the form that hardcore came
from utilizing the speed and
guitars. When I asked Eric Garcia,
a metal fan here at Marist who likes
Venom (Curly Nights), he replied
that, "Metal uses more intelligence
than hardcore, and that hardcore
seems to write lyrics that are made
for the songs where metal writes
more creatively."

"Crocodile Dundee," the latest
in a wave of foreign exports, comes
to America from Australia, the
land down under. It is a legend, a
farce and a charm.
Crocodile Dundee, a man who

what they see and hear. Sue, the
reporter, is out to discover the
serious side of this comical legend.
This should be no problem because
Dundee's favorite topic is himself,
except that what he tells is not
always what really happened.
Thrash metal, or speed metal, or
hardcore metal was the classifica-
tion that was used to describe this
form of music. The most popular
and the most talented would have
to be the four-man band out of Los
Angeles called Metallica. They are
currently' the only thrash metal
band to have a major label deal.
All the other bands that cater to
this form of music are on those.
great independant labels.
So after three weeks of the same
material, let's try to draw some
conclusions from what I have com-
piled. It appears- that, from the
answers I was given, neither side
wanted to accept the fact that the
music is the same. Neither side
agreed that the roots were the
same. Neither side really cared
much about the other and no one
said the attitude was the same. This
leaves this reporter very hurt, con-
fused and disillusioned. Oh well, I
guess they were apple and oranges
anyway.

the audience sees "Wild Kingdom"
without the commentary. When the
film moves to New York, the movie
loses some of its freshness. The
film shows scenes of crowds, high-
class restaurants and hotels, low-
class bars· and street corners.
Although "Crocodile Dundee"
shows us New York City through

The audience as gotten this
perspective through such films as
"Moscow on the Hudson."

Average SAT same as '85
NEW YORK, N.Y. (CPS) -
Average Scholastic Aptitude Test
(SAT) scores of this year's college
freshmen were about the same as
last year's freshmen, halting a
series of increases dating back to·
1980 .•
Various college officials, though,
said the levelling off of scores pro-
bably doesn't mean much in the
way of students' skills.
.
Recently, in its annual report of
student performance on the tests,
the College Board said college-
bound seniors' average combined
score was 906: 431 on the verbal
portion of the test and 475 on the
mathematics portion.
The college-bounµ seniors of
1985
who
are
college
sophomores this year -
had the
same -average test scores.
Their average scores, however,
were a significant jump over the .
1984 average combined scores of
897.
The College Board and Educa-
tional Testing Services - which ad-
ministers the tests for the board -
score the SA Ts on a scale of 200 to
800, with
1,600
being the perfect
combined.score.
Various observers and educators
in I 985 attributed the jumps to
everything from the cessation of at-
mopsheric nuclear testing to test-
takers' dwindling family sizes to
the school reform movement.
Few are ready to say what this
year's levelling off might mean,
though.
"We are not testing the same
group (each year)," said Elnor
Pepper, a spokeswoman for the
West Virginia Superintendent's
Office.
"Some years of classes are just
better than others," she guessed.
In West Virginia, SAT scores are
down 11 • points, but only seven per-
cent of college-bound seniors there
took the test. Half, however, took
the American College Test (ACT),
and • those scores increased this
.year, Pepper said.
In Washington state, testing
Director Dr. Alfred Rapf said he
thinks average SAT scores fell 10
points this year because 13 percent
more students took the test.
"(The drop) had nothing to do
with the quality of our programs,''
Rapf contended. "The size of the
group is just bigger. The test takers
were once· more of an elite group."
Rapf said he thinks more
students decided to take the test
this year because "the College
Board has received a tremendous
amount of publicity. I wish I had
stock in it."

him look like a mad man.
As he did with just about every
song, Collins added a trip up the
magic staircase to the drum set
where he teamed up with fellow
drummer Chester Thompson.
Later in the show, they col-
laborated on a drum solo.
After the opener and a hello to
New York, "Land of Confusion,"
a song from the current album, was
performed and then a favorite
oldie, "That's All," stirred up the
crowd.
Collins mixed some rapport with
the audience into the show, mak-
ing it even better. At one point, he
told th~ crowd, "Ladies and
gentlemen, boys and girls of all
ages·-· It's time for my favorite
part of the show. It's audience par-
ticipation time."
The lead singer then went into a
stomping tantrum as a little child
would do to grab attention.
"Throwing it all the Way" and
"Invisible Touch," both top ten
hits from the "Invisible Touch"
album, were the final two songs
performed as the fans sang along.
At the end of each song, you guess-
ed it, the little man took the
magical stroll up the staircase for
some drum work.
There were only a few setbacks
to the Tuesday show. Many hits
like
"Illegal
Alien"
and
"Misunderstanding" were not per-
formed, but if the group perform-
ed each hit, the concert would.have
lasted five hours. •
For next time Genesis fans, get
your tickets early. The wait on line
for this concert was worth it!!!

l
to
fill off-campus job spots
by
Diane Pomilla
She is looking for a few good
men and women.
.
Nancy Moody, coordinator of
Job Location and Development at
Marist College, said she has an
abundance of jobs. They range
from baby-sitting to health aid for
the aged to. data entry.
Moody said she even has a posi-
tion open for a clown.
The Job Location Office is
located in the trailer on the eastern
edge of Donnelly Hall parking lot
near Route 9. Students can stop in
and make an appointment with
Moody any time, Monday through
Friday from 8:30 a.m, to 5 p.m
Anyone who is interested in a
part-time job should go to the
trailer and fill out an application
and a financial aid form. Moody
looks over the applications, then
conducts interviews with the in-
•
dividual students, trying to discover
possible job options.
"I
guess you could call me a
matchmaker," said Moody. She.
said most employers are satisfied
with the students she sends - ex-
cept for when they don't show up
for work.
On Line Communications,
.
a
telephone survey company, is one
business that has hired Marist
students. According to Marianne
Ronis, personnel director, about
seven or eight students are
employed there.
"We are very happy with the
students," said Ronis. "I'd love
some more. I'd clone them if I
could."
Employees call up people across
the country and ask them if they
use various products. The average
salary at the company is $4 per
hour.
,
The salaries from the jobs at the
Location Center range from
minimum wage, $3.35, to $10 per
hour, said Moody. However,
higher paying jobs are usually ones
requiring heavy physical labor,
such as dock workers.
Last year the Job Location Pro-
gram serviced 103 students whose
.
combined
earnings
totaled
$138,406.13. The Job Location
Center is looking to raise that
number, said Moody.
Moody sends out letters to
potential employers who may be in-
terested in the program. She has
670 companies on a mailing list
right now.
Jobs are available for students
locally at Burger King or the South
Hills MaJI, said Moody.
Students who don't have their
own cars but would still like to app-
ly for a job should. meet with
Moody and tell her of their
.dilem-
ma, she said. She said she is trying
to arrange college-run transporta-
tion, but to do this, students must
express their interests.
Besides offering jobs that fit col-
lege schedules and are an alter-
native to those who don't qualify
for campus positions, one of the
most important things the Job
Location Center does is give
students the opportunity to work in
their major fields, according
to
Moody.

To the Editor:
On Sept. 26, I participated in the
the Progressive Coalition's march
on
·campus
against apartheid in
South Africa. I am concerned
about the reaction the marchers
drew from a number of students
who were shouting comments from
the dormitories.
My most optimistic interpreta-
tion. of the students' behavior
would indicate those shouting were
exhibiting a Friday afternoon un-
,villingness to confront major
issues or to tolerate public expres-
sion of opinion by more political-
·1y
active students.
B~t my real sense was that the
comments expressed a clear under-
current of racist feeling. This
pessimistic interpretation was the
overwhelming and depressing im-
pression I took away from the
march.
I hope that I was wrong in my
impression. But I would like to ask
the students involved to examine
their motives;
,
Obviously, racism should have
no place on this campus.

Marist had little trouble in coasting
past Western Connecticut 7-2 and
New Paltz 8-1.
Singles players Sheila Bradley,
Alison Block, Karla Bellotto, Lisa
Lavin and Laura Murray turned in
victories in both matches. The
doubles teams of Bradley-Beth
Ann Saunders and Murray-Bellotto
also won against both Western
Connecticut and New Paltz.
Although the Marist netters are-
mainly a team of returning
veterans, two newcomers have been
a vital part of the Foxes' recent win
streak. Senior Lisa Lavin, in her
first'year·on the team, -has turned
in four singles victories and three
doubles victories. Karla Bellotto, a
second-semester freshman who is
primarily a singles player, has won
four times in singles play. These
two newcomers are responsible for
11 of the 38 points won by the Red
Foxes through their first seven
matches.
Junior Beth Ann Saunders, in
addition to doing duty as a doubles
player, was also asked to fill in for
Stephenson at the No. l singles
position. Saunders won twice in
doubles last week and played well
in losing efforts at the No. 1 spot,
according to Coach Terry Jackrel.
The remainder of the team's
schedule"includes a scheduled mat-
chup at home against St. Rose Oct.
15 and two rescheduled matches
against SUNY Purchase and Quin-
nipiac College. No dates have yet
been set for these earlier-postponed
matches.

Babineau named new head coach
by Paul Kelly
Assistant Women's Basketball
Coach' Ken Babineau has been
chosen to replace Pat Torza as
head coach, Brian Colleary, direc-
tor of athletics, said last week.
Torza resigned suddenly Sept. 1
for personal reasons.
Babineau, a 36-year-old native
of Rhinebeck, N.Y., has been an
assistant to Torza for the past two
years.
..
"I am very pleased that Ken
will
continue to be a part of the Marist
College Athletic Program,'' said
Colleary. "I am confident that he
will do a fine job in his new posi-
tion.
He has an excellent
understanding of our program and
the players involved in it."
Babineau's selection ended an in-
tense five-week search for a suc-
cessor to Torza. The final five can-
didates were interviewed two weeks
ago by ·a search committee.
Babineau has been handling the
team's administrative duties since
Torza's resignation. Official team
practice starts Oct. 15.
Babineau expressed interest in
making a smooth transition to the
head coaching role and improving
on last year's 12-17 team record.
"I am very excited to be here and
I am looking forward to getting
started," Babineau said. "I think
the program has made great strides
the past two seasons and it is my
goal to see to it that the program
continues to improve."
Prior to being named head
coach, Babineau was a school
teacher in the Rhinebeck school
district. During his five-year tenure
as women's
head coach at
Rhinebeck High, his squads com-
piled an 82-68 record.

lq_na game is Saturday
by Paul Kelly
Many running backs would not
enjoy trying to rush the football on
a field so wet that it resembled a
rice paddy.
Ed • Christensen
thought
otherwise.
Christensen, a junior halfback,
carried the ball 18 times for a
school record 203 yards to lead
Marist to·a 27-7 win over Fairleigh
Dickinson-Madison last Friday
night.
The Red Foxes will play the se-
cond of three consecutive road
games when they travel to Iona this
Saturday for a l p.m. contest. Last
year, Marist defeated _the Gaels,
8-0, at Leonidoff Field:
Christensen
scored
three
touchdowns, including a 2-yard
run, an 89-yard gallop that broke
a school record and a 69-yard jaunt
on a field rendered nearly im-
playable by driving rain. With one
pass reception of 2 yards, he gain-
ed 205 of Marist's 307 total yards.
The Red Foxes led at halftime,
14-0.
Head Coach Mike Malet said he
was pleased with the performance
of both Christensen and the offen-
sive line. "Our offensive line went
out and moved people off the
b~ll," he said. ''.They've gotten
.
.
better every week."
The Red Foxes also cut back on
the penalties that have plagued-
them all season. Marist was
penalized only four times for a
total of 20 yards.
Malet attributed the squad's im-
proved play to intelligence and a
conscious effort by ·the coaching
staff last week in practice to remind
the players about damaging
penalties.
"We played with great intensity
and intelligence and didn't make
mistakes," said Malet.
"It
was a
wet night, and we still did riot turn
the ball over."
But Malet said all areas of the

(Md.) 4-1 Sa.turday in an ECAC
Metro Conference game. The Joss
dropped the Red Foxes to 4-5.
Marist got on the board first
with a goal from junior defensive
back John Gilmartin midway
through the first half. But Loyola
knotted the score just five minutes
later at the 32:13 mark.
•
That goal spelled doom for the
Red Foxes as the 12th-ranked
Greyhounds proceeded to score ,
three unanswered goals, two on •
penalty kicks, for their eighth win
of the season.
Last
Wednesday,
Marist
outlasted Siena College 3-2, scor-
ing with three seconds remaining in
regulation time off the foot of
sophomore forward Charlie Ross.
The Red Foxes return to action
Saturday at St. Peter's after a week
layoff.
Against Siena, Coach Dr.
Howard Goldman said, a good
crossing pass from senior back
Fran Payne was the key to Ross'
winning goal. Goldman was quick
to compliment Ross, who started
for the first time this season, but
he said he was not impressed with
the win.
"We should have beat them
5-0," he added. "We wasted many
scoring opportunities.''
Wasted scoring chances also hurt
the Red Foxes in the loss to Loyola,
but Goldman said he thought the
team played well against"
one of the
top teams in the country.
"We played with them for 80
minutes," he said, "but then we
made some defensive mistakes that
cost us goals. We haven't been able
to play a complete game, but we're
getting better," he said.
Loyola's first goal was scored
when a Marist defender turned the
wrong way and gave Loyola player
Chris Webbert a path to the net.
Two other goals were scored
because of Marist penalties deep in
its own end, which resulted in
penalty shots.
"Defenders have to stay strong
and keep their concentration in the
defensive third of the field," said
Ooldman. "Defensive lapses have
been a serious problem that has
plagued the team."
However, junior goalie Joe
Madden has been a bright spot in
an otherwise riddled defense. Mad-
den recorded eight saves against
Loyola and has played well all
season, according to Goldman.
"Madden was under pressure all
game but did a highly commen-
dable job against a well-disciplined
Loyola team," he said.
Goldman also said Loyola was a
well-rounded team that ran well,
was quick, changed direction effec-
tively and moved extremely well
without the ball.
Goldman said this week's layoff
could be used to overcome nagging
injuries and also regroup as a team.
"It will give us a chance to think
about things and get back to fun-
damentals," he said.
team still need improvement.
"Each game gets more difficult.
We have to work on our pass rush
and secondary coverage," he said.
FDU-Madison compiled 148 yards
via the air against Marist.
Malet noted that the team will
probably continue with its three-
quarterback system. Junior signal
caller Jim Fedigan connected with
freshman wide receiver Steve
LoCicero for a 61-yard scoring
strike late in the second quarter last
Friday to pad Marist's lead to 14-0.
"It (Fedigan's pass) was a well-
thrown pass and was a turning
point as it gave us breathing
room," said Malet.
Iona currently holds an o.;5
record, but Malet said that figure
is deceiving because the Gaels have
played nationally-ranked Division
III powerhouses Hofstra and
Randolph-Macon and Division I-
AA Villanova.
"They are a good, hard-hitting
football team," said Malet. "We
have improved every week, and we
have to play to our level to win, not
our opponent's level."
V'ball boosts record
to 13-5, seeks berth
by Don Reardon
The Marist College women's
volleyball team was highly suc-
cessful last week with victories
against Ramapo, Western Connec-
ticut, Mt. St. Mary and a forfeit
win from SONY-Westbury.

The spikers upped their season
record to 13-5.
Senior Co-Captain Kathy Mur-
phy credited improved offensive
play. "Our greatest asset was that
our offensive people were hitting
extremely well all week,'• she said.
The squad met Central Connec-
ticut State and Holy Cross on Tues-
day (no scores available at press
time) and play at home tonight at
6 p.m. against Fordham.
Murphy said the team wasn't
playing well earlier in the season,
but now its confidence is building.
"We really didn't have any hope
of making the ECAC tournament
earlier this season, but now we
think our chances have greatly im-
proved," she said ..
Despite the fact the team re-
bounded from an early-season
mark of 4-5, junior Co-Captain
Patty Billen said it takes more than
a winning record to earn a berth in
the prestigious tournament.
"There is quite a bit of politics
involved when you're trying to earn
·a berth in the ECAC tournament,
and even more when you're trying
to get a bid at NCAAs," said
Billen.
One of the key contributors to
last week's efforts was freshmen
• phenom Allison Vallinino, who
served a shutout on Friday against
Mt. St. Mary.
"Allison's been playing really
well lately," said Murphy. "She
served 15 straight points on Friday,
(as) we didn't even get to rotate."
The team beat Ramapo sound-
ly, taking the first three games of
. the five-game match. The spikers
• took four out of five games
Wednesday • from
Wes tern
Connecticut.
The teain's concentration now
will be on making the ECAC tour-
nament, said Billen.
