The book, "The Cuomo Factor

·York's
Governor,"
co-
authored by institute Director Lee
M. Mirjngoff and assistant Barbara
L. Carvalho, is an academic and
statistical study of Cuomo's
.
popularity; The 126-page book was
based on
·
four years of election
research conducted by the institute
and uses data from its polling. .
Miringoff and Carvalho have
been. featured on fourteen radio
programs, mainly in Albany and in
New York City, as well as six televi-
sion programs. "People have been
calling from all
.over
the United
States ordering copies of the
book," said Miringoff. "The reach
of the book has been national in
scope of sales and reviews."
&'The Cuomo Factor" tries to ex-
plain the (actors behind the gover-
nor's immense popularity. The
authors say the governor "has
fashioned a balanced approach to
government which
.matches
the
concerns of today's voters." This
has
·
allowed Gov. Cuomo to
broaden his political appeal outside
the New York borders which could
play an important role in the 1988
Presidential Elections.
The book explains that Cuomo's
popularity in the suburbs -
specifically Nassau, Suffolk;
Westchester and Rockland counties
-
has been coincident with the
sharp growth of the political power
of the suburbs.
Miringoff noted that the gover-
nor's 62 percent vote in the suburbs
was the highest percentage of any
Democratic gubernatorial can-
didate in the last 60 years.

Proposed cuts in financial aid protested
by Michael Kinane
Marist officials are expressing
concern and opposition to Presi-
dent Reagan's proposed budget
cuts
in financial aid for college
students.
Marist President Dennis Murray
called
the
proposed
cuts
"disasterous for higher educa-
tion," in a letter released to the col-
lege community last week.
The proposed changes would
reduce the educational budget by
50 percent of the last fiscal year. If
passed, nearly $5.5 million would
be cut from the current budget.
Among the programs that would
be
eliminated are College Work
Study, Supplemental Educational
Opportunity
Grants, National
Direct Student Loans and State
Student Incentive Grants.
From these changes, one million
students would become ineligible
for Pell Grants.
These programs are used by
nearly 75 percent of the students
now attending Marist, according to
college officials. "No college in the
country could make up the dif-
ference if these federal funds were
lost," said Karen Atkin, director of
financial aid at Marist.
Murray said the public is in favor
of federal aid to college students,
citing a survey done by the Opinion
Research Corp. The survey found
that more than half of the public
•
is now in favor of the continued use
of federal funds for student finan-
cial aid.
Although the proposed budget
has not been passed, Marist of-
ficials expressed concern that Con-
gress may consider a lack of op-
position by students as a sign of ap-
proval. Atkins said a drastic change
could actually occur. She is urging
students to write letters to their

the front of the issues, to sense the
public sentiment, and bring his own
values to that," said Miringoff in
a recent public television interview
held in Albany.
As far as a presidential cam-
paign, the authors warn that
Cuomo should seek national
recognition for his "progressive
and pragmatic" attitudes toward
government.
"If
Cuomo decides to
run for president, he should avoid
getting involved in disputes which
have blemished his landslide re-
election and should rely on the ap-
proach that has been effective for
him in New York state and brought
him national acclaim," the book
says.
According to the study, though,
the governor
is
seen as a
"pragmatic
and progressive"
liberal, not a "big spending"
li~eral, which could furtJier help
him down the road. These labels
were given because of Cuomo's
a~ility to come across as a tough
mmded Democrat with a belief in
fiscal restraint as well as social
programs.

The book, like the polls con-
•
ducted by the institute, is non-
partisan. "Part of the goal of the
book was to place Marist College
and the MIPO not only as a center
for polling data, but also as an in-
stitute to be recognized as a
publication
center,"
said
Miringoff.
Anthony Cemera, vice president
for college advancement, said,
"The book is an excellent study of
Cuomo's success and the role of
the suburbs in an election." As far
as the well received reviews the
book has gotten by the critics,
Cernera said he was not surprised
because the MIPO has an excellent
reputation as a serious, unbias
public opinion institute .

Racism takes a new shape
after Howard Beach assault
by
Raeann Favata
It began in Howard Beach in
Queens.
A group
of white
teenagers last December attacked
three black men, one of them died
trying to
get away - and sudden-
ly racism was back
in
the news.
Although it has been over 20
years since tne civil rights laws were
passed, many members of the
Marist College community say they
feel there is still a feeling of ine-
quality between the races.
"People's opinions really didn't
change; now that there is not much
emphasis on civil rights it is star-
ting to surface again," said the
Rev. Benedict D' Alessandro,
Marist College chaplain.
Comparisons were made by
some
people between the violent
•
riots of the '50s and '60s, and what
they feel is the new, less obvious
form of racism.
"Today rascism is more subtle,
but the attitude is still there. It is
throughout society; Howard Beach
just made people more aware,"
said Charles Fleming, president of
the Black Student Union.
"Maybe
they
are not
·as
discriminated against as
they
were
before, but a black person is seen
as a lower class
individual
because
of the way people have been con-
ditioned. I feel terrible it really.
shouldn't be this way," said. Rod
Parra, a junior from Flushing,
N. Y., majoring
in computer
science.
"New York City
is a
whole string
of neighborhoods and some people
are very protective toward their ter-
ritory. The fact that those men
were there and they were black
makes them a threat to some of
those people even though they were
.
not causing trouble. This is a total-
a:;
reasons for racism continuing to
exist.
"Progress has been made but we
are nowhere near where we should
be. Individuals hold racists pre-
judices and a lot of the time-parents
pass it to their children," said Joe
Concra, a member of the Pro-
gressive Coalition majoring in com-
munication arts.
"The people involved were so
young that it was evident the at-
titude was handed down to them by
their parents," said D' Alessandro.
Some of the people interviewed
said they felt the only way to solve
the problem of racism is by in-
dividual friendships between peo-
ple of different races.
"We can't legislate equality
in-
to existence. The only way is by
contact between the races and us-
ing the laws to eliminate the exclu-
sion," said D' Alessandro.
"One can't cure somebody else's
prejudice but I urge my students to
take every opportunity possible to
relate and communicate with peo-
ple who are different from them in
any way. Insofar
as
we do that we
will broaden our own perspectives.
Obviously, the ideal is to accord to
each member of the human race the
respect and dignity that are his
due," said Dr. Florence Michels,
associate professor of religious
studies and social work.
''Racism is something that is
taught and both sides have biased
opinions. Living together without
violence is a step, but then you have
to try to go a little further. Make
•
a friend, then make another and so
on; by having friendships people
realize
we are all alike," said
Fleming.

S tate considers
Route 9 changes
by Bill H. Weiss
The New York state Department
of Transportation is evaluating the
•
possibility of widening Route 9 in
various
locations
between
Poughkeepsie and Hyde Park, ac-
cording to a study conducted by the
DOT.
In addition to DOT's concern
over the current traffic conditions,
they are also taking into account
the possibilities of a new mall and
a new residential development,
which would increase the use of
Route 9 by an estimated 10,000
cars between Delafield Road and
Fulton Street by the year 1990.
In the area in front of Marist; the
DOT has examined the possibility
of an additional lane and shoulder
on each side, while· widening the
turn lane in the middle by five feet.
In a preliminary study conducted
by the Planning and Development
Group of the.DOT, they refer to
Route 9 as being " ... the single most
important land-use corridor in Dut-
chess County," and being ''Main

ning, the DOT has not examined
how much property would have to
be removed.
In the future, if the DOT's plans
are approved, a public hearing
would be scheduled, according to
Edward Waters, vice president for
administration and finance.
"They would announce a public
hearing and people involved could
speak their peace," Waters said.
"If
they cut on the west side,"
Waters added, "the campus will be
effected and if they cut on the east
side, the houses will be effected."
Because the widening of Route
9 is in the conceptual stages only,
Marist officials have not formally
discussed the construction. accor-

Valentine's
-Day
1987:
The high. cost of· love
·
by Chris Barry
As Valentine's Day approaches
this month, a familiar question
arises. Have holidays become too
commercialized?
With Christmas sales advertis-
ed before Thanksgiving, the
answer
seems to be yes.
Americans now count how many
"shopping" days are left until
.
Christmas.
"Holidays are supposed to be
made for the people themselves,
not for commercials to make
money on," said Jim Benson, 21,
of Yorktown Heights, N.Y.
. The element of romance seems
to have been stripped away when
you see Valentine's candy sand-
wiched between tube socks and
Slim Whitman cassettes at K
Mart.
"Sometimes it takes away
from a holiday," Benson said,
"it's not supposed to be such a
-commercial
day."
Others. disagree.
"Sometimes I think commer-
cials add to the spirit of
holidays," said Nancy Sproviero,
20, of Lodi, N.J. "Like around
Christmas when the malls are
crowded and everyone is in a.
Christmas spirit," she added.
"[ think Christmas is definite-
ly too commercialized.
The
others don't
!>eem
to be too bad
though," said Chris s·oldano, 21,
of Rockville Centre, N. Y. "At
least Valentine's Day is really on-
ly hyped up the week before, not
two months like Christmas." he
said.
·"You've
got to expect it
though because advertising is
such big business," said Roy
Arezzo, 20, of Staten Island,
N.Y.
John Cronin, 20, of Hamden,
Conn., feels that is not a valid
ex-
cuse. "What does a furniture sale
have to do with a president's bir-
thday?" he
·asked.
"People should concentrate
more on the tradition and ideas
of holidays and.not so much the
material things," Arezzo said. "I
think people could change that in
their home by the way they bring
up. their kids," he added.
So what is the true meaning of
Valentine's Day? Some think it is
the birthday of St. Valentine. Ac-
tually, it is to celebrate the feast
of St. Valentine. whom some
believe to be the patron saint of
lovers.
According to David Hugh
Farmer in the Oxford Dictionary
of Patron Saints, St. Valentine
has nothing to do with lovers.
"The reason for this famous
patronage is that birds are sup-
posed to pair on February 14, a
belief at least as old as Chaucer."
writes Farmer. "Whatever the
reason, the connection of lovers
with St. Valentihe is one of the
less likely results of the cult of the
Roman martyrs.'· he concludes.
"Maybe they should have two
holidays," Arezzo joked. "One
for the tradition because that's
nice. and one for the gifts and
thmgs because that ·s not
so
bad
either.·•

Survey finds shift
in frosh attitudes
by Lisa Jean Silva
LOS ANGELES, CA (CPS) -
College freshman generally aim to
go into business, harbor a curious
blend of liberal and conservative
·idealogies and may -
or may not
-
be getting as much help from
Pell Grants as their predecessors of
five years ago,
a
survey of 290,000
students from around the United
States said.
Each year, UCLA and the
American Council on Education
survey entering freshman, and issue
reports th.at in recent years have
become the source for most com-
monly held notions about student
attitudes.
This year the study authors were
most impressed by their finding
that only 16.9 percent of this year's
freshman
class received Pell
Grants, compared to almost a third
of the freshman class of 1980.
By contrast, 25.4 percent of this
year's freshmen have Guaranteed
Student Loans, compared to the
1980 figure of 20.9 percent of the
freshmen.
But the U.S. Department of
Education's Bruce Carnes said the
statistics are "seriously flawed,"
and that about
24
percent of all col-
lege students actually receive Pell
Grants, which, of course, don't
have to be repaid.
Carnes added the Education
Dept.. which has helped fund the
survey "for years

that's
unreliable," Carnes said.
The week before UCLA releas-
ed its findings, a congressional
study found that -
because there
are fewer Pell Grants available -
students who graduated in 1985
were five times more in debt than
1980 graduates.
.
But Carnes thought the UCLA
study
didn't count Pell Grants go-
ing to students attending "pro-
prietary schools like Joe's School
of Cosmetology."
"We stand by our statistics,"
replied Dr. Kenneth C. Green, the
study's associate director. "We've
done validity studies that show
students do know the sources of
their aid and have a very good
sense of parental income."
Green said Carnes'
figures
"don't reflect the same population
of first-time and full-time college
students" that the UCLA survey
covers.
"The Department (of Educa-
tion) has purchased our data for
years to use in their own analyses.
Their own independent reviews
have confirmed our data over the
years."
John Skare, executive director of
the National Student Roundtable in
Washington. D.C.. said he believes
the
survey
is
"valid" and
that it can
be
a useful tool. "They've been do-
ing it long enough now. and l have

1987,~----------------------------
The strange case of a campus controversy
by
Lisa Jean Silva
WASHINGTON, D.C. (CPS)
-
The Iran arms scandal and a
couple of newspaper reports turn-
ed American University into a
hotbed of protest of the school's
connections to a billionaire Arab
arms dealer -
even though most
students and faculty members
weren't even on campus.
The Washington Post reported a·
"lively campus debate" and the
Associated Press found "students
and faculty up in arms" about
arms dealer Adnan Kashoggi's $5
million pledge toward building a
$14 million sports center at AU.
The Saudi Arabian Kashoggi,
often described as one of the richest
men in the world, has been iden-
tified as a middleman and financier
in the secret deal that sent
American arms to Iran, and the
profits from the deal to the contras
in Nicaragua.
Indeed, after Kashoggi's name
surfaced among the investigations
into the arms deal, the Eagle, AU's
student paper, devoted most of one
issue in December to the universi-
ty's connection to the arms dealer,
who pledged the
$5
million to the
building in 1984 and has been on
AU's board since 1983.
Soon after the articles and
The Post's story, says AU Presi-
dent Richard Berendzen, was
"almost a fabrication. The Post
just decided to fabricate a story and
so they did."
"We are on winter break,"
Berendzen added, before students
returned to class on Jan. 19. "I've
received not one single complaint
(about the donation) besides an
anonymous phone call."
Post reporter Michael lssikof
says he stands by his story, which
quoted an AU senior as saying,
"It's a shame that this school
doesn't even have peace studies,
but it will have a sports center nam-
ed after an arms dealer."
Berendzen, though, maintains
lssikof took the • quote from a
December editorial in the Eagle.
Assistant Professor
Jeffrey
Richelson says Issikof quoted him
correctly as saying the Adnan
Kashoggi Sports and Convocation
Center should be renamed the
"Kashoggi Sports and Guerrilla .
Warfare Center."
But Richelson adds there is no
organized protest. "What I said to
the Post was just my personal opi-
nion," he said. "There is no facul-
ty debate that I'm aware of."
There's some doubt, moreover,
that Kashoggi can even come up
with the rest of the sports center
money, before the 1993 deadline.
Allegations have surfaced in re-
cent weeks that Kashoggi's
worldwide business dealings, which
Berendzen compares to intricate
Arabic art, are in trouble.
In Utah, where Triad America
Corporation -
the holding com-
pany for most of Kashoggi's U.S.
interests -
has its headquarters,
the Salt Lake Tribune found the
. company is "being sued by
numerous creditors," and that
Kashoggi has "renegged on"
numerous charitable pledges.
"He promised $1.3 million to
LOS Hospital," Tribune reporter
Guy Boulton says, "but they only
got
$300,000.
He said he'd build an
education wing in another hospital,
but he renegged on that also. He
pledged $150,000 to Ballet West,
but they only got $50,000."
Still, AU's Berendzen says
Kashoggi is "up to date" on his
pledge payments to the university.

students left for winter break.
In their absence, the Post and
AP stories reported the campus
was alive with debate and ferment •
about the Kashoggi connection.
The few people who remained on
the campus, however, remember
no such thing.
"I would say that the introduc-
tion of Cherry Coke had a bigger
impact on the campus than the
Kashoggi money," says grad stu-
dent Leo Gallagher. "People are
not that keen on issues."
Notions of a campus uproar, he
says, are "overblown completely." •
Campuses--·
still chilly
for women
WASHINGTON, D.C. (CPS)
-
In what seemingly has become :
an annual condemnation, a leading
national college women's group
said campuses nationwide still are
fundamentally inhospitable to
women.
Discrimination, the Washington-
based Project on the Status and
Education of Women recently
reported, is subtler, hiring practices
are less sexist and male professors
are friendlier, but college campuses
remain a "chilly" place for most
women students and faculty
members.
"While many men are not even
aware
they're
being
discriminatory,'' explained Bernice
Sandler of the Project, which is
part of the Association
of
American Colleges, "many women
don't realize when they're being
discriminated against."
Women are now getting better
jobs in higher education, but have
a harder time getting promotions
than their male counterparts do,
the report - called "The Campus
Climate Revisited: Chilly for
Women Faculty, Administrators
and Graduate
Students"
-
asserted.
And progress may slow in the
near future, other observers said,
because many people think most of
the problems of college sexism are
solved.
"Some say the 1970s was the
decade for women, and now we're
passed that," said Judy Touchton
of the American Council on Educa-
tion's Office of Women in Higher
Education.
"But we're not. There's a conti-
nuing need to keep women on the
agenda. Our intention is to make
sure lots of others talk about treat-
ment
of women in higher
education."

The class. of '86 versus the 'real world'
by
Jean
E.
Clements
They stormed into Poughkeep-
sie in the fall of 1982, ready to face
the next four years. Nine months
ago, they bid farewell to Marist,
ready to face the "real world."
Since May, Marist's class of '86
has been adjusting to new jobs,
new homes and missing old friends.
"Working in the city, it's the
thing to do," said Andy Hall, a
graduate of the computer science
program who started working for
the Bank of Tokyo in Manhattan
two months ago.
Hall said that after finding a job,
the hardest part of graduating is
having to go to work everyday.
"It's not like at Marist where
you don't have to go to class if you
don't feel like it," said Hall.
He's been back to visit the school
several times and said that he also
sees quite a few Marist grads out
on weekends in Manhattan.
However, New York City isn't
for everyone.
Mike Murphy, a communication
arts grad, said, "I thought I'd
.
never live at home, but as soon as
I got a job offer in Manhattan I
wanted to stay home. It's easier to
save money here. I imagine I'll
move out eventually, but I don't
know how far."
Murphy is working as a perma-
nent substitute teacher at a high
school near his Fayetteville, N.Y.,
home and is coaching his former
high school's cross country and
track teams.
Although Murphy said that he
had never expected to be a high
school teacher, he now intends to
take classes over the summer to
earn his teaching certificate.
"I've had days when I felt like
pulling my hair out but I've never
said that I don't like my job," said
Murphy.
Hammond shares an apartment
and works with two other members
of the class of '86, Marie Bernhard
and Una Geoghegan. They live in
Staten Island, where they work for
Special Services for Children.
"Graduating is a big adjust-
ment,"
said Hammond.
"At
Marist everything is fun and games
most of the time. Here you are pay-
ing bills, and going to work
everyday."
Where your damage money goes
According to Murphy, the big-
gest difference about being out of
school is not having your room-
mates and friends down the hall.
"Now you've got to make the ef-
fort and spend the $5.00 to call
your friends up, " he said.
While some grads moved away
from home and some stayed home,
only a few have actually remained
at Marist.
Mike Masterson, a graduate of
the communication arts program,
decided to stay at Marist and work
in the Admissions Office after
graduation.

While some students have com-
plained that housing damages re-
main unfixed - even after they're
charged for repairs - Housing of-
ficials say the money goes back to
the units and repairs are done as
quickly as possible.
Once a problem has been
reported, Housing tries to meet a
one-day turn-around time for the
repairs, according to Steve Sansola,
•
housing director. "The rate of
repairs has also gone up tremen-
dously," said Sansola, "with 60
percent to 70 percent of the re-
quests being met."
The student is charged only for
the cost of the repair. For example,
if some students ruin a room, and
a wall and ceiling have to be
painted, the students will be billed
$80.
If
Housing knows which stu-
dent actually did the damage, only
that student will be billed, accor-
Cold temps
could.mean
hypothermia
by
Lauren Arthur
No, Poughkeepsie hasn't been
relocated to the North Pole, but if
you've been outside .battling the
blizzards lately, you might be in-
clined to think so.
Speaking of blizzards - and the
sub-degree temperatures we've
been having -
the cold weather
can cause problems other than your
car not starting, or receiving an oc-
casional slushing from a passing
true~ while waiting to cross Route
9.
Most people have heard of
frostbite and hypothermia, but
often pay little attention to their
danger and sometimes permanant
damage.
Frostbite is a localized change in
the skin caused by exposure to·the
cold.
Symptoms of frostbite are red-
dening skin, and when the frostbite
becomes deeper, skin takes on a
gray-white blotchy color, with an
increased loss of sensation.
Hypothermia, a condition which
affects the whole body, is the
reduction of body temperature
which disables the body from
generating enough heat to support
life.
Some symptoms of hypothermia
are shivering, numbness, drowsi-
ness and a decreased level of con-
sciousness. Hypothermia can occur
in temperatures above freezing and
can lead to death.
If you suspect yourself or so-
meone has mild frostbite (reddish-
color skin) warm the affected area
by rubbing it with your hands,
blowing warm air, or touching the
area with a warmer part of the
body. For example: warm your
cold hands on your stomach.
Deeper frostbite, which usually
makes skin feel frozen to the touch,
should be handled as gently as
possible. The affected area should
be covered, and the person should
receive medical attention right
away.
•
A person suspected of having
hypothermia
should
receive
emergency med.cal attention im-
mediately.
ding to Sansola.
There are also special accounts
set aside for emergencies, such as
the recent fire in Leo Hall. One of
the student's rugs suffered water
damage and Housing paid to have
it cleaned, said Sansola.
Fines are a slightly different mat-
ter. This money goes right back the
complexes and are used at the
residence directors' discretion, ac-
cording to Carol Graney, R.D. of
the Gartland Commons Apart-
ments. For example, bulletin
boards and benches were installed
this year in the Commons for stu-
dent use.
According to Sansola, the money
is being spent on the students. Leo
Hall has a new weight room and
Sheahan Hall has a better game
room. The money is also used for
house dinners and the River Room.
Housing helped pay for a large part
of the new 45-inch screen in the
River· Room. Housing also con-
tributes to the 21 Club, bus trips
and entertainers, said Sansola.
Graney has also tried to set up
such events as the Road Rally and
barbecues with a disc jockey. San-
so la said there is a commitment to
programming in hopes to keep up
with the events and wants to start
new ones, such as flag football with
cash prizes.
Some graduates, like Susan Kay,
from Newtown, Conn., moved far
from home. She has been working
for North Carolina National Bank
in Tampa, Fla., since November.
Like Murphy, she said that what
she misses most about Marist is the
people, since most of her co-
workers are much older. She said
she is hoping to meet some people
with similar interests when she
joins a club rowing program at the
University of Tampa.
One graduate who is not too far
from her friends is Rita Hammond,
a former juvenile justice major.
According to Masterson, it has
been hard making the transition
from student to administration and
becoming accustomed to being on
a first-name
basis with ex-
professors.
One of the reasons Masterson
said he likes his new job is because
he gets satisfaction from knowing
he is giving incoming students the
same opportunity he had.
"I had a great four years and it's
great to be able to give a little
back," said Masterson.

No deals
The headlines read: "Hostage Crisis in the Middle Easi."
There's nothing new about that; various middle-eastern nations
and radical groups have been abducting and killing Americans
for years now.
But this time something is different; There's a renewed sense
of helplessness - something that we haven't felt so strongly since
the Iran hostage crisis in 1979.
President Reagan's "no deals with terrorists" policy and his
hard-line stance on aggression toward Americans had given us
the courc:1-ge
to stand up to the threat of terrorism. We were begin-
ning to feel good about ourselves as a nation, and the terrorists
were falling back to regroup.
But the Iran-Contra arms scandal has changed all that. Once
again, the terrorist has the upper-hand. Once again, as the news
media are fond of saying, America is being held hostage.
We can't forget that the arms scandal grew out of an effort
to free American hostages - a noble goal. But by backing down
from the hard-line "no deals" stance, President Reagan has
defeated his own purpose.
• Since the arms deal, several more Americans have been taken
hostage in Lebanon, joining most of the people the arms deal was
meant to free. And although the State Department had warned
these people to flee Lebanon long before they were captured, they
remain American citizens. There is no turning our backs on them.
Caught red-handed doing what he promised never to do - deal-
ing with terrorists - the president has lost his bargaining chips:
the faith of his people and the fear of the terrorists.
The arms scandal has proven that there can be no deals - covert
or otherwise -
with terrorists. Appeasement of those who ab-
duct and kill Americans can only lead to more abductions, more
killings.
Terrorists must be seen for what they are -
irrational beings
who are threats to America and our way of life. We cannot sell
them arms or appeal to their logic; after all, look at what hap-
pened to Terry Waite.
Only by truly adopting an unwavering "no deals" stance -
a stance backed by popular support - can President Reagan hope
to save the nation from continued acts of terrorism.

Canterbury tales
To the Editor:
For those of you who think you
have it rough in a college dorm,
you'.d better think again.
College is probably the first and
only time you have ever lived away
. from home. But you have to admit
that although Marist is better than
home with regard to freedom, it is
a sheltered existence compared to
the real world and its crises. The
harshest realities you have to deal
with are putting up with 3 a.m. fire
drills and a no-alcohol policy.
Consider yourself lucky. Last
semester I Jived out in the Canter-
bury Apartments in Poughkeepsie,
far, far away from Marist College.
Actually it was only a 15 minute
drive and transportation was pro-
vided free a la Marist. It was
definitely a maturing experience.
You can't even begin to imagine
how expensive Jiving in an apart-
ment is without parents there to
pay the bills. You're on your own
now.
First, it cost about $56 for them
to turn on phone service from the
main office.
Then, of course, we needed
cable. You're probably thinking we
could have done without that lux-
ury, right? Wrong! The only chan-
nel we got without cable was 62
(WTZA). Have you ever seen
WTZA? Hint: Remember shows
like "Mr. Ed," "Hazel" and
"Green Acres?" Well, that's what
you get on Channel 62.
A. few weeks later, we were settl-
ed in, had gotten our phone, and
then it happened! Bills started
flooding. our mailbox.
$12
for
cable, $90 for AT&T, and we
hadn't gotten the long-distance
phone bill yet. So we, unemployed
students
at that,
managed
somehow to scrape together the
money to buy our food and pay
our bills. I never realized how ex-
pensive food, paper products, and
cleaning supplies could be. How do
moms manage?
Anyway there is no bad without
good. On the bright side, there was
this whole big apartment (great for
parties), privacy, hot shower and
bath, good food anytime you
wanted it and best of all, NO FIRE
DRILLS AT 3
A.M.
IN THE
MORNING!!
All things considered, it was a
nice experience living out there.
There were times, though, when •
you missed the hustle and bustle of
the Marist campus, the craziness of
the dorms, friends dropping by at
all hours, and being close to Marist .
goings-on.
But, I'm glad to be back (yes, I
got a room in Champagnat!) and
it has been pretty good. No fire
drms·yet; I see my friends now.
And the food has been pretty de-
cent. It was an interesting learning
experience - living on your own.
But its great to be back!!

Time management
by Julia E. Murray
What is the one thing no college
student can ever have enough of,
besides sleep and money? What is
more precious than white-out,
more priceless than the answers to
your calculus test? What is versatile
enough to be used in every single
excuse for not doing something
from term papers to finding the
pen that would have enabled you
to fill out job applications rather
than write home for money (the lat-
ter no~ being an easy excuse to pull
off; mind.you)'? The answer is -
time.
All right, I admit it sounds a bit
simplistic, but think about it. What
do your parents and professors
always bug you about? Learning to
manage your time. Obviously you
are never going to have enough
time to do everything, but if you
plan it right you can fit in most of
the essentials.
The first step is to make a list of
everything you try to get done in,
let's say, a week. Don't rank them
according to priority yet, just write
down the whole disgusting mess.
Now, let's see what we have.
Okay, sleeping is definitely
legitimate, as are junk food runs
and telephone calls. Showering is
always nice, and doing laundry has
a faint claim (though that's what
mothers are for). Watching "Star
Trek" and the afternoon soaps are
also definite musts, and so is sun-
tanning (weather permitting).
Though I did mention not to
rank things yet, obviously what .
comes to mind first are the essen-
tials. Next we have to consider the·
dregs of the list, those silly things
your parents keep harping about,
such as going to class and studying.
Such mundane matters rank right
down there with typing papers,
reading from the textbooks and go-
ing to the library. Actually, the last
item is not too bad, provided you
only go to the library, not inside it.
Well, we have a basic list now,
and it's even in order of priorities.
However, we still have to add a few
of the less obvious, though still
essential, time-consumers. For in-
stance, talking about all the
homework you have to do. While
the other
murray
actually doing the work is frown-
ed upon, it is not considered too
impolite of a subject for conversa-
tion (though you might want to
warn those who are easily shocked
or offended to leave the room
before the discussion begins). The·
same
rules
apply ·for discussions
about laundry and jobs.
Waiting for pizza or other junk
food staples of life is another big
time-consumer, which cannot be .
forgotten. Any fool knows that it
is humanly impossible to do
anything but say, "Where is that
pizza (or whatever)? I'm going to
drop dead of starvation if it doesn't
get here in, like, two seconds!"
from the moment the food is
ordered to the moment it arrives.
Last, but not least, if you live on
campus, don't forget to leave time
for at least one visit to Saint Fran-
cis a week, since we all know it's
the in place to be at 3 a.m. on a Fri-
day or Saturday night. Just make
sure to bring plenty of change for
the "coffee" machine (and your
own coffee) and several changes of
clothes, at least one of which
should be appropriate for the com-
ing season.
All right, now that we have
everything listed it's time to start
budgeting time. Remember, you
only have a week to fit all of these
things into.
·First let's consider the things
which have to be done every day.
Sleeping, unfortunately, is going to
cut a big chunk out of your time.
Figuring eight to ten hours a night,
and four to six hours a day, that
only leaves you with eight to twelve
hours a day to fit in everything else
for the week. Showering will take
up at least an hour every day, pro-
bably more depending upon the
number of people you are com-
peting with for said shower, and
your fondness for hot water. If you
are the impatient type, a billy dub
and ·air-raid siren are advisable
shower gear (unless you're one of
my housemates). _ .. _ ....
·
,-
"Star Trek" and the soaps eat
up another two to five hoµrs,
depending upon how many soaps
you watch. Considering the time-
shortage, try to cut down to a one-
soap-a-day habit (two, if absolutely
necess.ary). Contrary to popular
opinion, "Days of Our Lives" is
not necessary for continued
breathing.
Waiting for pizza, though not
aciually a daily sport, will take up
at least two hours a pop, three
times a week, so you might as well
figure in an hour a day. Discuss-
ing homework is good for approx-
imately two hours a day, and laun-
dry conversations add another hour
on to that at least once every three
days. We won't even attempt to
figure in telephone calls, though I
might mention to those of you
forced to use the pay phones in the
dorms that there are ways to··
shorten the line outside the booth.
See "shower gear" above.
Obviously, even by restricting
yourself to the bare essentials, you
simply will not have time to fit in
all those trivial little extras on the
bottom of your list. What were
they again? Oh yes, studying and
such nonsense. What a quaint idea.

A reaction to Howard Beach
by Charles Fleming
In answering a question concern-
ed with the rise in racism, we must
first have a clear understanding of
what is meant by racism.
As we listen to the news and hear
about more occurrences of seem-
ingly racially motivated incidents,
we tend to believe racism is on the
rise.
What else could explain why the
unfortunate events have become
more violent and commonplace?
Now think for a minute. ls racism
a cause or an effect? I offer to you
that racism is a cause of violent in-
cidents such as the tragedy that
took place at Howard Beach,
Queens, in December.
What happened at Howard
Beach was an expression of racism.
However, the feelings that made
the perpetrators of that crime want
to harm the victims constituted
racism.
Racism is not exactly any given
act; racism is a biased feeling or
belief that may result in violent acts
such as the one at Howard Beach.
We must admit that racism is
by Carl MacGowan
By way of introduction and all
that, it should be noted for the of-
ficial record that I did succeed for
a whole two months to resist the
urge to write something or other
about the so-called Iran-Contra
arms scandal and foist it upon the
readers of The Circle, as was my
frequent, unwelcomed habit in the
past two years.

prevailed upoff me to write
something for the page, and after
a round of intense negotiations, I
agreed. So you have him to blame
for this unconscionable waste of
your invaluable time.
Anyway, the lesson today is
foreign policy in the modern age.
Despite such intrusions as the
Geneva Convention, the United
Nations, the World Court and
whatever else, the world powers, to
their credit I believe, have manag

ed to throw away the shackles of
orderly legality and fair play.
After all, they might argue in a
weak moment, the traditions of
statehood are founded on the over- •
coming of obstacles and boun-
daries, and what better obstacle to
overcome than a big, worthless .
giant like the U.N.
But that's beside the point. The
main thing, and what brings us
together this day, is an object
lesson in American diplomacy gone
aft agly in the pursuit of what
might ordinarily be described as
noble and well-intentioned goals.
But the big picture goes like this:
There is no big picture, save for a
whole mess of little pictures.
So, what are we talking about?
Briefly, it has to do with the fur-
ther implications of the Reagan·
Administration's foreign policy in
light of its now-apparent interna-
tional "Lotto" game.
Whether or not the president
knew about what was going on is
somewhat irrelevant; that is, to the
• point that the arms deals were, in
fact, carried out with the full
knowledge
of
the
Cabinet
members; Some of whom, it could
be reasonably argued, should have
known better.
But, this is the Reagan Ad-
ministration. Wisdom and even
practicality always take a back seat
to the public's perception of
government. The secretary of state
now says he was opposed to the
thing from the start. Which is to
say, he knew about it from the
start, but never said anything about
it, lest the public, egad, find out the
ugly truth.
something that is learned. There
comes a time in our lives when
sometimes our friends and often
our parents teach us about "the
other ones."
We are usually taught to believe
things that lack satisfactory sup-
port to constitute fact. The more
we think about it the more racism
becomes synonymous with ig-
norance. Now, are people as ig-
norant today as they were yester-
day? Well, let us concentrate on a
few cases.
I recently read in The New
Yorker an article that contained a
description of discrimination in
motion. A black woman married to
a white man revealed the ease with
which her husband could flag down
a cab when they travelled.
On one instance she suggested
that she should try. No luck at all!
Another case of discrimination in-
yolved a white owner of a jewelry
shop who kept his entrance locked
at all times.
Anyone wishing to enter must
first ring a bell and wait for admis-
sion. It was reported that this ship
owner did not allow black persons
into his shop.
There is a common thread that
pulls these separate incidents
together. That thread is crime.
The owner of the jewelry shop
and the taxi driver mentioned
. above have a certain fear that a
black customer is more apt to try
to rob him than any other
customer. The reason they feel this
way is perhaps the number of
crimes attributed to blacks - justly
or unjustly.
Regardless of why they believe
blacks are more apt to commit
crime, their belief turned into ex-
pressions of racism - not to black
criminals but to the entire black
race. Here· we see crime used to
justify racism.
Returning to the Howard Beach
incident and its effects, we discover
the reverse of the above justifica-
tion, or attempted justification.
Following the Howard Beach in-
cident we began to hear reports of
retaliation. I remember hearing on
the news about a young white man
who was beaten by a group of
black men. As the assault was com-
mitted the black crowd was
reported
to have
repeated
"Howard Beach" several times -
as if it were a slogan.
I guess they felt this was revenge.
Then there was the incident at my
home town high school. An almost
identical assault with "Howard
Beach" again as a slogan. That
night a friend of mine was chased
by a van load of white youths ob-
viously seeking revenge.
It
makes you wonder if this will
ever end. The mentality seems to
be, "we will attack you because
you have shown that you don't like
us."
This desire to constantly seek
revenge in a violent way displays
. how racism is used to justify the
crime. Not too long ago, I said that
crime is used to justify racism. Now
I say that racism is used to justify
crime. The truth is that both are
true.
I believe it makes little sense to
say racism exists. It makes a great
deal more sense to talk about what
to do ·about racism.
After admitting that it exists,
how do we end it?
Contrary to what some believe,
crime does not have to take place
for racism to exist. Some people
believe if their racial biases are not
transformed into an act purposely
done to harm another there is no
racism.
I
contend that the act need
not be committed.
The bias existing in everyone's
minds is racism itself. Once we
realize this we can do something to
stop it. However, it takes a per-
sonal effort on each individual's
part to disassemble the wall of ig-
norance that clogs our minds.
This brings the issue of racism on
oneself instead of placing the blame
on others. When man comes to a
point where he constantly makes
conscious efforts to banish self-
created biases from his brain, we.
will be that much closer to Rev. Dr.
Martin Luther King's dreams.
It is February 5, 1987 -
What
have you done to end racism
today?

But beyond Iran and the Contras
(with Israel and some Swiss banks
playing peripheral roles) lies a
whole, still unopened can of Pan-
dora's boxes and other mixed
metaphors.
The substance of the Iran-
Contra arms deal could be carried
out in other situations. In fact, with
a little imaginations and paranoia,
we can easily determine that it has.
. For example, the Soviet Unions's
release last year of dissident Anato-
Iy
Schransky and its release from
house arrest of another dissident,
Andrei Sakharov. These were pro-
claimed by some as evidence of
"democratization" in the Soviet
Union. But I wonder ...
My own theory on this, in light
of the Iran-Contra thing, is that the
U.S. and the U.S.S.R. got together
early last year and made a deal.
Something along the. lines of:
"Yo, Comrade! Listen up, you
got something we want and we got
something you· need~-·Get my
drift?"
"Da, da. Ve need da spare pahts
for da cruuz mis-iles. Ve pay 130
million rubles (about
$45
million)
for dem. Vhat you vant?"
"Give us Scharansky and get the
other guy, whatshisname, out of
the house once in a while, we got
a deal. Deal?"
And so it was that Scharansky
went to Israel, Sakharov was per-
mitted to speak in public again, and
the $45 mil went to bank Swiss
bank account on its way to the
government of South Africa. In•
fact, the thing went so well that
they tried it again last fall.
That's when American reporter
Nicholas Daniloff was held by the
Soviets on espionage charges, while
the U.S. had arrested an alleged
Soviet spy.
The solution was easy, even ob-
vious: Unbeknownst to all, the
Soviets paid out another $14
million for a U.S.-made cargo
plane (see, some things are still

10 - THE CIRCLE - February 5, 1987--
F ox es extend league lead after 75-52 win
by Paul Kelly
With 18:18 remaining in these-
cond half of last Monday night's
Marist-St. Francis, Pa., game at
the McCann Center, Marist for-

IO-foot jumpshot to give the Red
Foxes a comfortable 41-19 lead. •

These were all games in which
Marist had blown second-half leads

NCAA.
Marist did not self-destruct last
Monday, when the calendar read
Feb. 2, as Smits scored 13 of his
game-high 18 points in the second
half to lead the Red Foxes to a con-
vincing 75-52 ECAC Metro
victory.
The win balanced the Red Foxes
overall record at 9-9 and elevated
their first-place ECAC Metro mark
to 6-1.
Marist has triumphed in five
consecutive ECAC Metro games,
including a thrilling 75-73 decision
over host Fairleigh Dickinson last
Wednesday night. Smits scorea 25

Last Saturday, despite a second-,
half lead that burgeoned to as
many as 24 points, the Red Foxes
remained wary of St. Francis, Pa.
"The kids were always .aware
they (St. Francis, Pa.) were a
dangerous team," said Magarity.
However, the presence of Smits
proved to be decisive.
"We have never blown a lead
with Rik in the lineup," said
Magarity. "Whenever we really
need a lift we go to Rik and he
answers."
Trailing 34-13 at halftime, St.
Francis, Pa., opened the final 20

Marist led 49-30, and the romp was
on.
"We're getting better every
game," said Magarity. "These kids
are hungry. They've been through
a lot."
Another contributing factor to
the overwhelming victory was
Marist's stalwart defensive play. St.

in the first half.

provided another theory to explain
his club's first-half shooting woes.
"We don't face any other

rim."
Guard Ron Mccants and Pecar-
ski added 13 and 12 points, respec-
tively, for Marist. St. Francis, Pa.,

of which came in the second half.

....
Dever: Team clown becomes swim leader
by Annie Breslin
Fred Dever has made the tran-
sition from team clown to team
captain, and he's finding it worth
his while.
Dever, a senior, is Marist's
premier swimmer in the butterf-
ly stroke and has hopes of setting
a new school record in the
200-meter butterfly this season.
He's serious about his swimming,
but it hasn't always been that
way.
Similar to many athletes,
Dever has found it difficult
balancing
his many college
responsibilities. He's been temp-
ted to put his commitment to
swimming second to school work
and to the infamous college social
life, and in the past, he's given in
to that temptation.
"I go out after meets now but
I used to go out the night before
them," said Dever. "I'd swim
with a hangover and I was
satisfied with my performances
then, but now I often wonder
how well I could have done if on-
ly I'd taken it seriously."
Dever,
who hails
from
Manlius, N.Y., admits that the
social demands of college life
were always the major obstacle in
his athletic career. And living
with non-swimmers has made it
even more difficult to stay on the
straight and narrow path.
"It's always so tempting," he
said. "You try to put on a face
like 'I want to go party' but in-
side you know you have practice
in the morning."
Dever said he is finally able to
put commitment before fun. But
he is faced with yet another con-
flict. He sometimes must choose
•
• between his team friends and his
non- swimming friends.
"It's tough because you share
a kind of bond with the guys on
the team ... traveling and spending
intersessions together, he said.
"But, then you go back to the
friends you usually hang out
with."
Another conflict which existed,
but has now been resolved, was
between Dever and Marist Head
Coach Larry VanWagner.
"Fred's
relationship
with
Larry has improved a lot," said
senior co-captain Vinny Oliveto.
Dever said: "I've grown up a
lot through him. He really cares
about us as individuals and he
treats us like adults."
Dever. who has been swimm-
ing competitively since the age of
four, said he hasn't always
respected Van Wagner's coaching
philosophy.
"Larry
is more concerned with
our 'total self' and really stresses
individual improvement," said
Dever. "Larry
and I didn't
always get along·well."
Van Wagner shares similar
sen-
timents about Dever's early
years.
"Fred was set in his ways when
he came to Marist," said Van-
Wagner. "It was really a matter
of Fred resisting my efforts to
change him."
Dever is the first to admit, he
was less than a model athlete in
his past seasons. He said he was
surprised to find that his team-
mates had chosen him along with
Oliveto to co-captain the squad
t!}is year.
"I was the worst," he explain-
ed. "I guess l was kind of a
clown; I'd sometimes even lie and
say I had a 4:10 class so I could
blow off practice."
But, Dever hardly seems
. clown-like now. He is ranked
fifth in the Metropolitan Swim
Conference for the 200-meter
butterfly event and has been
defeated just once this season.
According to Coach Van-
Wagner, Dever has an excellent
chance of destroying the Marist
record in the 200 butterfly. The
old mark of 2:03.88 was set by
Jim Morgan in 1983 and no one
has even come close.
Until now.
Dever has been swimming con-
sistently close to that mark in
competition and in practice.
"In the championships, when
I'm shaved down and really
ready, I should get the record."
Dever said.

A bad break
by
Paul
Kelly
Minutes
before
practice,
members of the Marist basketball
team are warming up. They
separate into small groups on
McCann's center court~ each player
lofting the ball towards the hoop
in rhythmic procession.
•
On a side court beside the
retracted wooden bleachers, Ernest
McFadden shoots alone.
McFadden, a senior who earned
his spot on the squad via walk-on
tryouts, watches his characteristic
line-drive shot careen off the rim
and bounce away.
He cannot chase after the ball.
Dec. 19 prevented that.
It
·was
on
·t-hat
day at 1 p·.m.
McFadden culminated a five-man
weave drill in practice by leaping
toward the rim for a simple layup.
When he came down, his 6-0,
170-pound frame crumpled to the
Tartan floor of Mccann.
"I went up off-balance and crune
down on the side,"
said
McFad-.
den. I felt my ankle go in and
thought that I had just twisted my
ankle."
A few moments later, he
discovered it wasn't just a twist.
"I tried to get up and took one
step and knew that was it," said
McFadden.
Until
last
Monday,
the
autograph-laden plaster walking
cast set on Ernest McFadden's
lower leg and foot has been it -
a constant reminder of the broken
fibula he suffered
.at
1 p.m. that
Friday afternoon. Last Monday,
Marist team orthopedic surgeon
Dr. Greg Chiarmonte removed the
outward evidence of McFadden's
injured leg, but thoughts about the
afternoon in December remain.
"It's been really frustrating,"
said McFadden. "I ltad two objec-
tives. One, to make the team, and
after I made it to show that I could
play with scholarship players."
One. of the individuals who
learned McFadden could play with
scholarshi_p
players on a day-to-day
basis was
Manst
Head Coach Dave
Magarity.
"His impact on us was very
positive," said Magarity. "Day in
and day out, he worked as hard as
anybody."

The shock of the lost opportuni-
ty first struck McFadden the even-
ing of Dec. 19. "I couldn't believe
it," said McFadden. "That morn-
ing I was walking around and then
I'm lying around."
The mental pain was magnified
by the physical pain of his encased
leg. The Red Foxes' first road trip
after McFadden's injury was to
Utica, for a Dec. 23 game against
Utica College. He was scheduled to
make the trip to see his teammates
play, but his leg was throbbing
beneath the plaster.
He stayed in Poughkeepsie.

Privateers tallied twice to clinch the
tie.
Junior
goaltender
Greg
Whitehead had one of his better
outings of this season against
Maritime, registering 33 saves.
However, Saturday night's road
game versus a strong Manhattan
College team was a disastrous set-
back. The host Jaspers scored nine
times in the opening period and
cruised to an incredible 21-3
victory.
Marist
newcomers
John
Shanahan and Steve Murray were
.
the only bright spots for the Red
Foxes. Junior Shanahan tallied a
goal and an assist, while freshman
Murray assisted twice.
The game against Manhattan
was really over when the Red Foxes
boarded the bus, because the team
dressed only nine skaters and two
goaltenders. With only two full
lines and three defensemen, the
Red Foxes were a spent force by the
end of the first period .
Manhattan had defeated a full
Marist team 10-3 in Poughkeepsie
earlier in the season. The Jaspers
are 7-1-0 and currently hold third
place in
the
MCHC.
The injury to his leg has provid-
ed more than pain and muscle
atrophy for McFadden. There have
been lighter moments, such as New
Year's Eve.
He was quietly spending the
evening in his apartment with a few
friends, including housemates and
teammates Mark Shamley and Ron
McCants. The group was watching
Dick Clark's New Year's Eve
television special when someone
suggested
some
late-night
celebrating at Let's Dance, a
Poughkeepsie nightclub.
McFadden reluctantly agreed to
go, and hobbled on crutches into
the disco.
"Everybody was staring at me
like 'what is this guy doing with
crutches?' " he said. "Then,
another guy walked in with crut-
ches, and I just smiled when he
walked in. I started talking to him
and found out he had knee surgery.
"I
had a good time considering
everything," said McFadden.
"It
was a New Year's that I'll never
forget."

Despite the comedy of the Let's
Dance episode, McFadden remains
seriously focused on rehabilitating
his injured leg and returning to ac-
tion with the team, which he hopes
will occur Feb. 18.
The noises he has heard at prac-
tice for the past six weeks have not
been those of pounding basket-
balls, but those of metal weights
ringing. The daily one-hour
workouts in the weight room have
helped increase his upper-body
strength and temporarily remove
his thoughts from l p.m., Dec. 19.
"It seems like it has been six
months," said McFadden. "I want
to get back as soon as possible but
I'm afraid to re-injure the leg.
I
want to be back in one week but
Glenn (Marist trainer Glenn
Marinelli) says two. I'll listen to
Glenn."
The first day of practice, the first
layup, the first hard twist on the
leg. The thoughts linger for Ernest
McFadden. "Once I go up for the
first layup the fear is going to be
there, but it will go away quickly."

made in America), the "spies"
were freed, and the lucky winner of
the hostage swap sweepstakes in
this instance was Jonas Savimbi,
who's running a revolution for the
return of totalitarianism to the
now-Marxist
government
of
Angola.
One more example: Eugene
Hasenfus, the guy who got cap-
tured in Nicaragua in October.
After being found guilty of gun-
running, he was released and sent
back to the U.S. Why? Not out of
the goodness of Danny Ortega's
heart, that's for sure.
I would estimate that the U.S.
sent out $300 billion worth of
untested, unproven, and basically
worthless
B-1
bombers to the
Nicaraguans for the return of
Hasenfus, with the proceeds going
towards paying off the federal.
government's
$2
trillion debt.
I should repeat that this· is all
speculative, which is of course, the
proper and responsible thing to do
for professional journalists such as
myself.
But it makes sense, I think, and
we can expect this sort of thing to
continue. The possibilities are
endless. So, I've drawn up a list of
possible future deals the Reagan
Administration might want to
consider.
For instance: Let's send five
dozen MX Missiles to the govern-
ment of North Korea, in exchange
for which they would stop annoy-
ing the South Koreans
.
with false
reports that their leader is dead.
Meanwhile, the $900 billion
worth of M-1 tanks to Cambodia
in order to have Pol Pot released
from exile. The profits might make
a dent in America's expensive war
on drugs.
A solution to the Khadafi pro-
blem might be a snap if we would
simply ship, say, $13 trillion worth
of supplies and technical advisers
to help Libya develop
its
own "Star.
Wars" program.
