Monday
by John Roche
Peace activist Philip Berrigan,
who led a protest march against the
Reagan administration this week,
will speak on Monday, at 8:30 p.m.
in the Fireside Lounge.
Berrigan, a former Roman
Catholic
priest and media-
celebrated activist, will speak about
"social responsibility."
The Poughkeepsie
Journal
reported that Berrigan led 225
defl\onstrators in a march in Buf-
falo on Monday, protesting the
arms
race,
corruption
in
Washington, and U.S. involvement
in Central America and the Middle
East.
Both Berrigan and his brother,
Daniel, a Jesuit
•
priest, were
nominated for the Nobel. Peace
Prize six times.
Eugene Best, a professor of
religious studies
at
Marist, said he
feels Berrigan has greatly raised the
consciousness of the people of this
country.
"I think he is a committed in-
dividual, who has been willing to
spend time in jail in order to sen-

sitize others about the 'jails' we've
created in the world, especially in
the Third World,'' Best said.
Berrigan's resistance to the Viet-
nam War and nuclear arms Jed to
his being jailed a number of times.
Berrigan estimates he has spent a
total of almost five years in jail.
Berrigan is the author of five
books, including "Punishment for
Peace" and "Prison Journals." He
has lectured on non-violence and
peace throughout· the U.S. and
Europe.

With the spring semester under-
way, Peter Prucnel, student body
president, was recently interview-
ed about the goals the Council of
Student Leaders has set for itself.
Calling this year's CSL "an
organization that has come a \ong
way," Prucne\ said gaining the ad-
ministration's respect was the first
priority this year.

CSL is currently working on, in-
cluding the improvement of com-
munication on campus. A proposal
of its ideas was presented to the
board of trustees two weeks ago.
Stressing the importance of stu-
~ent body participation in campus
government,
Prucnel noted the up-
coming elections for all govern-
ment positions,.-hoping those in-
terested in any office will become
involved.
Students are also welcome to go
to CSL meetings, although the
council has the right to close them
upon a vote.
Meetings are held every Tuesday
at I p.m. in the Student Govern-
ment Office in the Campus Center,
and every Thursday at 5:30 p.m. in
the Candlelight RQom in the
cafeteria.
P.rucnel said he hopes his ad-
ministration will reach
.
the goals
outlined for the new semester, but
said in the long run, it will be the
students who will make things hap-
pen on campus.
. "I believed, when I was elected,
that the student government and
tbe student body had low credibili-
ty with the administration. Now
though, I can see that we have
finally gotten the respect we
deserve," said Prucnel.
One ac~omplishment Prucnel
said was a major turning point for
the student government was the ad-
ministration allowing 21-year-old
seniors to attend last fall's alumni
weekend events.
"This was really important to us
(CSL) because we worked through
the proper channels, in a very struc-
tured and professional manner,"
said Prucnel. "I really believe that
it was this
event
which established
the credibility of the CSL."
CSL is a body of elected officials
representing the student body, and
acting as a go-between for the
Marist
administration
and
students. It is comprised
of the Stu-
dent Academic Committee,
College
Union Board, Resident Student
Council, Adult Student Union,
Commuter Union and Prucnel.

Larkin.
Gilmon has been a blasting
driller for a short time, but his part-
ner Ray Iwnis has been around this
line of work all his life.
"My father is a blaster and I

underground tremors generated
from the explosion can damage

Roehr's was not the only one
blasting. Marist students gathered
outside the Townhouses to have a
blast of their own, according to
Gilmon. Students held what they
called "a blasting party" in honor
of the demolition, Gilmon said.
"You could feel the concussions
of the explosion," said John
Miller, a communication arts ma-
jor who lives in the Townhouses.

Future grads find job search
to be a full-time job in itself
by
Linda Smith
Seniors have a lot on their minds
right now. With less than 100 days
until graduation, they are starting
to make plans.
Whether it be writing a resume,
or looking through the help wanted
ads, seniors are realizing that there
is a life after River Day.
Many seniors are looking ahead
to finding their first job.
"I'm anxious to get out into the
real world after 16 years of
school," said Jim Doyle, a com-
puter science major from Com-
mack,
N.Y.
"However, as of yet,
the job hunting has been slow."
The fir~t step to job hunting is
writing a resume. The Career
Development Office is providing a
resume writing guide, and will
evaluate the student's completed
resume.
"We have had a number of
seniors take advantage of our ser-
vices," said Nancy Moody, a job
location coordinator for the Career
Development Office.
Some students must prepare for
more than just a resume.
John Roche, a communication
arts major, is plannmg to pursue an
acting career.
"I'm in the process of getting my
portfolio together so I can begin to
go on auditions," he said. "I
would like to work in small
theaters, possibly in New York,
Phildelphia or Chicago."
The portfolio is also important
in the fashion industry.
"The portfolio can either make
or break you during an interview,"
said Cathy Crist, a fashion design
major from Phoenix, Ariz.
"It
takes a lot of time to assemble a
portfolio and to make it neat
enough to bring on an interview.''
For Maureen Melley, an accoun-
ting major from Baldwin,
N.Y.,
the job search is over.
Melley, who began sending
resumes last September, started in-
terviewing in October. Melley has
been offered a job at Cooper and
Lybrand, an accounting firm in
Manhattan.
"l was really nervous at my first
few interviews," said Melley, "but
as
l
went on morel felt more relax-
ed. I felt really good when l got the
job offer.
.Now
l can relax and en-
joy the rest of the semester.''
Some seniors are planning to
stay
in
school
after they graduate.
Paul Aiudi, a political science
major from New Britain, Conn., is
going to attend law
school.
"I've wanted to be
a
lawyer since
I've been at Marist," he said. "I'm
planning to study corporate law at
either Notre Dame, Unniversity of
Pennsylvania, or University of
Connecticut."

·1egal
secretary. She
retired for a time to raise· her
children - until she saw an ad for
a night class off~red at Poughkeep-
sie High School in switchboard
operating.
"I
·always
thought
it was
fascinating to be a switchboard
operator, and I love to talk to peo-
ple," she said.
.
Before she even completed her
training, she was hired by Vassar
Brothers Hospital. She remained
working part time at the hospital
until she heard there was a position
open at Marist.
Though· there are several swit-
chboard operators at Marist, they
work in shifts, Spadaro said.
One operator will work at night,
three take turns on the weekend
and four work part time during the
weekdays; Spadaro said. Conse-
quently, things sometimes get a lit-
tle hectic, she said.
".The busiest time of day is when
you're alone at lunch time, but
they're going
to
try to correct that.
You also get very, very busy on
snowy days, with professors calling
in to cancel classes and students
calling in to see if they are cancell-
•
ed," she said
.
Crank calls would seem to be the
biggest hazard of working at a swit-
chboard, but Spadaro said she has
received very few of them.
Once she received a bomb scare
and was unsure how to handle it.
"I didn't know what to do, so
I gave it to Security," she said,
"but by that time he'd hung up.
After that, Joe Waters (director ?f
safety and security) gave f!le a

as well," Fleming said.
Every year, during Black History
Month, the
·
BSU has set up
•
a
display in the Library that honors
a group of black people who have
contributed to history. This year,
the display will be dedicated to
black women.
•
•
The BSU meets at 9:30 every
Tuesday night in Donnelly Hall,
room 100. "We welcome anyone to
come to the meetings to either con-
tribute or just listen," Fleming
said.
Fleming said the BSU planned
on getting a speaker to deliver a lec-
ture on racism at Marist, but did
not have sufficient funds. The
group hopes to raise enough money
.
within the· next two semesters to
support it.
"We
believe that
Marist
students, or any other college
students,
will
be the leaders of the
future. We should address the issue
of racism point blank so as to im-
prove relations between the various
ethnic groups in society," Fleming
said. "We talk about the present as
well as the future."
In past years, events marking
different periods in black history
have taken the form of speeches,
drama performances and dances.
The events have been open to the
public in efforts to better the
understanding about black history.
In Poughkeepsie, events held in
the past never got off
the
ground
this year.
The Ishangi Dancers, a group of
African dancers from Senegal,
Africa, performed at
the
Bardavon
in the past, but Executive Director
of the Bardavon Theater Dennis
Cole said he was not able to book
them this year.
"We only have certain dates
available and the artists only have
certain dates. If the dates don't
match, then we can't get them.
This February, there was nothing
to book," said Cole.
In previous years, a program
about Harriet Tubman depicted
Tubman's
founding
of the
underground railroad.
With graduation
less than 100 days away, seniors have begun
to celebrate - and reminisce.

•
The terrible crisis in state fun-
ding of colleges nationwide has kill-
ed course sections, threatened
whole academic programs and, in
recent weeks, has begun to cost
more college administrators their
jobs.
In some campuses, the pressures
and politics of the crisis are even
pushing college presidents out of
work.
"
At Mississippi Valley State Col-
lege, a political arm of the alumni
association wants President Joe
Boyer and his top administrators to
resign, citing "incompetence and
inadequate leadership."
The group blames Boyer for
dwindling state funding, a two-
year, 18 percent enrollment drop
and the loss of 61 bachelor degree
programs since 1982.

"Actually, this has been going

Dr. John Blackburn, president
emeritus of the American Associa-
tion of University Administrators.
"More and more, laying off ad-

In the last few weeks, though, a
third han_d ready to slap ad-
ministrators has arisen.
At Mississippi Valley, for in-
stance, the political action commit-
tee of the alumni association wants
to override the rest of the group,

forcing the president's resignation.
"Under the present admipistra-
tion and funding, Valley won't
become the university it is destin-
ed to be," Carver Randle, an at-
torney and PAC member said
in
January.
While the rest of the alum_ni
association and the Valley Board of
Trustees support Boyer, "There's
no question
that

fundraising,"
says
trustee
spokesman Dr. George Carter.
"That's the way the job is evolv-
ing. And that's not negative, but
the things people are expected to do
on the job changes."
Most governing boards consider
their presidents the most important
aspect of their school's success, one
presidential expert notes, and when
times get tough, it's one aspect that
can be altered.
"Boards are looking at their
presidencies more closely," says
Dr. Martha Tack, professor of
education at Ohio's Bowling Green
State University and co-author of
a study of effective college
presidents.
"Boards need to be very con-
cerned about that choice because
they see the. whole success of the
college resting on that decision."
No college president can please
everyone -
students, faculty,

Touring • campus with Marist's guides
by
Diane
L.
Rossini
From t~e Library to the McCann
Center, student guides have to
know Marist. .
"Being a tour guide has made me
realize how much Marist does have
to offer,"·said Kristen Pierson, a
sophomore from Pine Bush, N.Y.
"There _are a lot of facilities, ac-
tivities, socials, mixers and events
that take place."
The tour guide program is used
to help parents and perspective
students become acquainted with
Marist. Guides said they are ex-
pected to greet the students and
parents and give them a tour of the
campus.
Elizabeth Davern, a sophomore
from Queens said, "I get to meet
a lot of different people and to in-
form them of all the good aspects
about colleges, especially Marist."
Tour guides are trained to know
Marist inside and out, Pierson said.
And although students do not get
credit for working as tour guides,
they are paid. •
"The guides are like am-
bassadors, they are the first
students the parents meet when
visiting Marist,"
said Mike
Mueller, an admissions counselor.
Tours usually take about an
hour, and nothing is missed, accor-
ding to the guides.
"The living situation and ques-
tions related to the dorms are the
most common questions that peo-
ple ask me," said Todd Wysocki,
a senior from Hoosick Falls,
N.Y.
They are especially concerned
with the dorms, what they look like
and how. many people they could
be living with, says Wysocki.
Students and parents want to
know everything they can before
making the decision about which
college to ~lttend, according to the
Intramurals: Sometimes
it's more than a game
by
Kristine Manning
The air is filled with the noise of
pounding basketballs, the crash of
·backboards and the smell of sweat.
Tension fills the room as anguish
explodes on the players' faces. This
is not the pros, nor is it a college
basketball game; it is a scene from
Marist intramurals.
The players are students,
freshmen through seniors. Could
they be the stars of yesteryear? The
game this season is "hoops" and
judging by the looks on some of the
players' faces, it is not always just
for fun.
The intramurals program has
always been an outlet for student
involvement; it is for their fun and
. enjoyment,
said Coach _Mike
•
~
Malet/director of iiitramuralc""_·
It may be fun for some, but for
others there is a lot more at stake.
"I-have no patience for fooling
around," said Chris Calabrese, a
senior from Demarest,
N.J.
Calabrese, who said he has been
playing basketball ever since he can
remember, takes his game serious-
ly. "I'm a very competitive person,
in fact, I often get carried away - •
but that's my style," he said.
Robert Kirk, a freshman from
Saratoga, N.Y., said he. feels dif-
ferently. Kirk, who played organiz-
ed sports in high school, thinks in-
tramurals ·should be for fun and
enjoyment.
"In organized sports you're
always pushed to win. In in-
tramurals, there should be no
pressures; there should be a more
relaxed atmosphere," he said.
Dan Sullivan, a senior member
of the soccer team from Troy,
N.Y., said he agrees with Kirk's at-
titude.
"If
I wanted to take it
seriously, I would have tried out
for the team," said Sullivan.
Although there is controversy
over the seriousness of the game,
there seems to be a general feeling
about the competition.
"There are a Jot of good players,
some who were even all-stars in
high school. You know you can
always go to the gym and see a
good game," said Sullivan.
Kirk said he feels the competi-
~
tion is sometimes too good.
"Sometimes we go up against
seniors who have been together for
a while, and we don't even have a
chance," he said. "I feel they
should set up two leagues, one for
freshmen and sophomores, and the
other for juniors and seniors."
The general opinion of the
students, as well as Malet, is that
the intramural program is run well.
Nothing is perfect, however.
"I feel one of the biggest pro-
blems we have is getting enough of-
ficials with some kind of ex-
perience,"_ said Malet.
"I know the program cannot af-
ford real officials but the referee-
ing is extremely· poor," • said
Calabrese. "I know the students· •
are·doing""theii"best;·but·6ad calls,,
really take me out of my game."
The officials, who are mainly
recommended by the coaches, are
students with some expertise in the
game. They are expected to follow
a list of rules and regulations given
to them prior to the games.
Brian Cesca, a sophomore from
West Nyac~,
N.Y.,
officiates to
make some extra money. Cesca
, said he has learned a lot from his
father, who referees high school
and college basketball.
"I feel I have a lot of experience;
the problem exists in some of the
players. A lot of
the
students think
they are better than they really
are," he said.
The intramurals program isn't
just for basketball fans, or just for
men. The program consists of:
bowling, softball, volleyball, three
on three basketball, five on five
basketball, team handball and flag
football. Other sports have been
tried but have been cancelled due
to Jack of support.
Basketball . and softball are
among the top sports supported,
each having as many as 500 par-
ticipants. The other sports are sup-
ported by approximately 40 to 50
students.

and or problems the students may •
have," said Malet. "We are at the
disposal of the students; they make

Nicole Moreau, a freshman

left the South because she was sick
of the heat.
"Florida gets boring with the
same season all year long," said
Moreau. "Besides, the snow is
pretty and winter smells good."
Although Moreau doesn't like to
spend the entire year, she said she
will make a sacrifice and go home
for Spring Break.

Members of the Marist com-

of the Chapel on Tuesday after-
noons in an effort to show their
support for the imprisoned Dr. An-
drew Kayiira.
Kayiira, a criminal justice pro-
fessor on a
lea\·e
of
absence
from
Marist, was jailed in Uganda last
October on charge~ of treason.
The vigils. which began last
i..November
and have been attracting
IO to 20 people each week, are an
attempt to "show the support and
hope of the community and to end
the unjust treatment for Dr.
Kayiira,"
said
Marianne
Policastro, president of the Cam-
pus Ministry. "We are trying to get
him humane treatment."
Trying to maintain public
awareness of the situation in Ugan-
da is another goal of the prayer
vigils. which were organized by
leaders of the Campus Ministry,
the Progressive Coalition, the
Black Student Union and the
Criminal Justice Club.
"We want people to know that
he is still out there,"
said
Policastro.
While the vigil's participants
have been mostly students thus far,
faculty members have also attend-

Kayiira. Kayiira's sister has attend-
ed vigils in the past, according to
Policastro.

So
.where were·
you?
What would it have taken to get the student body to attend last
Friday's "student opening" of the Lowell Thomas Communica-
tions Center?
That's a good question.
It's a question many faculty members were asking themselves
when less than 30 students showed up for the ceremonies.
The lack of student turnout was a disappointment to the col-
lege and an embarrassment to the student body.
Last semester, students expressed outrage when administrators
scheduled the Thomas center's opening ceremonies for March 14,
which is during Spring Break.
Accordingly, college officials planned a "student opening" for
Feb. 13, and invitations were sent to students through the mail.
So where were you?
Among the guest speakers were two Marist alumni who have
excelled in their professional careers. They took their time and
energy to prepare speeches and attend the student event.
It's too bad their words were heard by an audience comprised
more of administrators and faculty members than of
students.
Some students who did not attend expressed disinterest because
of the numerous delays prior to the opening of the center.
We're not going to make excuses for the college. Construction
of the building took far longer than was projected, and promises
were broken.
However, dwelling on the past as a reason for lack of apprecia-
tion of the building is petty and childish.
Others cited the time of the event - Friday at 4 p.m., as their
reason for not showing. Perhaps, in fairness, the time was not
the most convenient.
Still, was it asking too much to take one hour out of your
weekend for an event you requested?
"We can no longer ask the questions when or why," said Stu-
dent Body President Peter Prucnel, of the center's opening. "In-
stead, today, we must be thankful to the college."
Perhaps the reality is that students never really wanted a "stu-
dent opening" of the new building.
the other
murray
Maybe the student body, in demanding the opportunity to be
present at the opening, was simply looking to find another bone
to pick with the administraton.
If this is true, what goal was served'?

Then, of course, there was the

every single night,
the loneliness of eating without

Th e 'Baby M' case: What -does it mean?
by
Gina Disanza
• I remember I was in ninth grade
when I read Aldous Huxley's
"Brave New World." The novel is
a startling account of the "hor-
rors" of technology as perceived in
the 1930s and 1940s. It is the story
of a civilization which worshipped
Ford and denounced human emo-
tions. But to me, the most shock-
ing part of all was the artificial
creation of human life in factories.
It
scared me to think that a society
would ever want to create babies in
an assembly-line process.
It's now 1987, and although
babies are not yet produced in hat-
cheries, we do have cases of men
who donate sperm and women who
donate their eggs and even their
wombs to create a human life. But
unlike "Brave New World," these
"donations" are not made without
emotional ties, as witnessed by the
"Baby M" court case in New
Jersey.
In that situation, a married cou-
ple, William and Elizabeth Stern •
paid Mary Beth Whitehead
$10,000
to be artificially inseminated with
the sperm of Mr. Stern. Mrs.
Whitehead would then carry the
baby to term and and give it to the
. Sterns after birth. A nice, compact
legal agreement, right?
WRONG!
Here's where the emotions jump
in. Mrs. Whitehead gave birth and
realized she couldn't part with her
baby girl. But the Sterns insisted on
How could she ex-
plain that she's carry-
ing another
man's
baby only to give it up
after it's born?
their legal right to the baby, so she
fled with the infant to Florida. The •
result is now a bitter legal case that
could possibly be carried all the
way to the Supreme Court.
A couple of points immediately
jumped out at me and really
frightened me about this arrange-
ment. First of all, Mary Beth
Whitehead is a married woman
with children. How could she ex-
pect to carry a baby for nine
months and then give it away?
Surely she knew what it was like
to be pregnant and give birth. Or
was the $10,000 that important to
her? And what about her husband
and children? How could she ex-
plain to her 12-year-old daughter
that she's carrying another man's
baby only to give it up after it's
born?
• And now the big question: how
can she say she really loves the lit-
tle baby girl when she's putting her
through so much hell? Sure, "Baby
M" is only 10 months old now, but
what about when she's 12 or 13
years old and she's able to read
(and comprehend) articles about
the heated battle for her custody;
how her biological
mother
threatened her life and how her
biological father's wife was accus-
ed of being too career-minded to
take a pregnancy leave? Or did
Mrs. Whitehead never 'plan on
allowing the child to enter a
library?
The outcome of this trial is
almost inconsequential at this
point. Regardless of who receives
custody of the child, this poor in-
nocent little girl is going to have
something very difficult to Jive with
for the rest of her life.
But what does this case mean for
the
future
of
surrogate
motherhood? Let's hope it means
the end. If that sounds cold and un-
caring towards people who are
Where does having
a child become no dif-
ferent from buying a
car or owning a home?
unable to have children, believe
me, it's not. As an adopted child
who's also an only child, I know
what it's like for two people who
really want a child.
Where do we draw the line,
though? Where does a couple's
desire for a child become almost
selfish? In other words, where does
having a child become no different
from buying a car or owning a
home? It's true that adoption·-
waiting lists are years long, but
some of the alternatives are becom-
ing frightening -
black market
babies, surrogate parenthood and
the like are becoming common
alternatives for infertile couples.
l know there are thousands of
couples who are almost obsessed by
the desire to have children and 1
truly wish 1 could perform a
miracle for each one of them, but
I think that someplace in the shuf-
fle the children are being forgotten.
Another thing I know about be-
ing adopted is the natural curiosi-
ty for the "truth." Adoptees can't
help but wonder where they are
from and what their biological
families are like. But knowing they
were a product of. a surrogate
parenthood situation is something
I'm sure they wouldn't want to
hear. I know I wouldn't. ..
Let's hope, then, that if nothing
else comes out of the "Baby M"
trial, it will make people stop and
think about how technology and
parenthood
should
remain
separate. This is one case where we
don't need a Brave New World.

In search of the Great American Viewpoint
by Len Johnson
" 'Three bells, sir.' It was Zelnic.
I always hated Zelnic."
So began, at least in my admit-
tedly clouded recollection, the
Great American Novel. A novel
which would ride the New York
Times Best Seller List for uncoun-
table weeks,
redefining
the
American literary establishment
and all that it stood for. A novel
of adventure on the high seas. A
novel which, years from its writing,
would define for historians what
life was like in America of the
1960s; a "Caine Mutiny" for the
Nixon generation -
a "Moby
Dick" for the hippies.
If only he had finished the first
chapter, I might be writing this
from my condo on St. Croix in-
stead of from the Computer Center
at Marist College.
But the Great American Novel
was never to be. The rough outline
and the first page sat crumpled next
to the Smith Corona. Other obliga-
tions had come along. There was
so little free time to write. And
what if it turned out that the Great
American Novel was really a
Mediocre American Novel? •
No one had the courage to throw
away the first page of my father's
recollection of his days in the Navy.
He would, he vehemently insisted,
someday return to it and finish that
first page and every one of the 345
pages of gripping quasi-fiction that
were to follow it.
Zelnic would be more· than a
voice in the dark, awakening a
grumpy lieutenant for watch. And
the Boston College class of 1962
would look in the alumni directory
under the name Johnson, Leonard
F., and behold with pride and en-
vy the entry, "Great American
Novelist,
Entrepreneur.
Marblehead, • Mass.; Newport,
R.I.; St. Croix, Virgin Islands."
And perhaps - just perhaps -
Robin Leach would one day be tak-
ing a ride in my father's gunmetal
blue 1962 Austin-Healy along the
rocky coast of Massachusetts'
north shore, jabbering
some
nonsense
about
the
Great
American Novelist's peculiar pen-
chant for classic British sports cars.
B·ut there just wasn't time. And
the title "Great American Novel"
was a lot to live up to.
And so it came to be that the
Great American Novelist has a very
respectable job at IBM. (Don't call
him "Beemer;" _I don't call your
parents
"Grummers. ") And
respectable jobs being what they
are, the would-be Great American
Novelist was forced to move to
Poughkeepsie.
And at risk of offending Mayor
Tom Aposporos, Poughkeepsie is
no Virgin Island ..
And so it was that I grew up a
son-of-a-beemer (I can say it; you
can't) instead· of a son of the Great
American Novelist. Not such a bad
way to grow up (my teeth are
straight), but I never got my
Porsche 911 Cabrio for my six-
teenth birthday as I had planned
during my early days at the side of •
the Smith Corona.
•
I guess even the best planned
novels of admirals and lieutenants
can fall victim to shortage of time
and the fear that what you have to
say doesn't matter anyway.
And so it is with Viewpoints.
Somewhere in the recesses of the
computer system, or perhaps
crumpled next to a Smith Corona,
lies the Great American Viewpoint.
It's the perfect criti_cism of
something happening here at
Marist or out in the world. It's in-
teresting, well_-written, insightful,
and maybe even funny.
But its writer never finished it.

Peace Activists Meet At
Harvard To Regroup, But
Can't Agree On Strategy
Some 300 people from 38 states
and 14 countries met to re-ignite
the nuke freeze movement, but fail-
ed to concoct "concrete strategies"
for doing so.
,
Participants accepted "the fact
that the nuclear freeze movement
lost the initiative because the
Reagan administration co-opted
our language and because we were
not prepared to continue the move-
ment we started," said Pam Solo
of the Institute for Peace and In-
ternational Security.

who stopped high school seniors
touring the Connecticut campus to
warn them that sexual assaults oc-
curred at the school.
Campus police, however, say
there've been no assaults reported
on the campus in a year.
Cal-Santa Barbara's student
government, meanwhile, urged
students to withhold their $12.75
fees from the local escort service
and foot patrol, which allegedly
treats students in a "racist, sexist
and brutal manner."
Budgets Cuts Inspiring Some
Profs To Leave Texas, Indiana
Deans at Texas-Austin say
they've recently lost "key faculty
members" to the lure of more
money at other campuses, and that
state budget cuts prevented them
from matching the offers.
Indiana's College of Arts and
Sciences recently reported budget
cuts there had "placed academic
standards at risk."

February 19, 1987 - THE CIRCLE - Page 9·---
Th e other guys from the Jersey Shore
by Tim Sheehan
Despite 11 yea'rs of recording
and touring - and countless years
b'efore that as one of the East
Coast's premier bar bands. -
Southside Johnny and the Asbury
Jukes have never quite "made it."
They never had the smash hit
record that would get them out of
the bars and into the arenas.
In a way, that's been a blessing.
for fans of the band, as anyone
who caught one of Southside's
three shows at the Chance last
weekend could testify.
Because the Jukes hail from
Asbury Park, it's impossible not to
compare them to "that other guy
from the Jersey Shore." Granted,
Bruce has written many great songs
for the Jukes, Miami Steve Van
Zandt produced their first few
albums, and both bands evolved
from the same crop of Jersey musi-
cians in the early 1970s.
,,
But while the E Streeters' music
often echoes the pop/rock sounds
of the 1960s, the Jukes are clearly
rooted in '60s soul - the music of
Motown, Stax, the Drifters, Sam
and Dave, etc. Southside's horn
section adds a funky "Blues
Brothers" element, and Johnny's
vocals come from a mix of Sam
Cooke, Ray Charles and the
Temptations.
I caught the first night of the
Jukes' three-night stand, and it was
a party from start to finish.
Southside danced the way you
would see James Brown doing in
old TV clips, sometimes so caught
up in the action that he had to skip
lines in the songs. The crowd was
equally involved, jumping into the
air with hands outstretched to
"reach up and touch the sky," as
J6hnny commanded in "l Don't
Wanna Go Home."
When the Jukes did slow it down
a bit to do their version of "Walk
Away Renee" from their latest·
album, the crowd didn't stop dan-
cing. Of course, there was the sing-
along on the Jukes' trademark
finale, a cover of Sam Cooke's
•
"We're Havin' a Party," which the
fans kept singing as they filed out
into the parking Jot.
Other highlights included the
songs written for the band by Bruce
-
"Talk to Me," "Love on the
Wrong Side of Town" and "Trap-
ped Again" -
all of which have
the soul feel that I doubt Springs-
teen could capture had he record-
ed the songs himself.
The material showcased from the
new album, "At Least We Got
Shoes," was also· hot, especially
"Tell Me That Our Love's Still
Strong" and "Hard To Find."
But my favorite point of the
show came when Southside and
guitarist Bobby Bandiera showed
off their harmonies, as well as the
pop side of their roots, by doing
/
three Everly Brothers songs:
"Wake Up, Little Suzie," "Bird
Dog" and "All I Have To Do ls
Dream," accompanied only by
Bandiera on guitar.
Or maybe my favorite part was
when they did "The Fever," one of
Springsteen's greatest unreleased
songs. Or maybe it was watching
the horn section, especially sax
player Joey Stann, rip through
solos like there was no tomorrow.
Or maybe
...
maybe I can't pick a
favorite
point.
I do know,
however, that Southside Johnny
and the Asbury Jukes is one of
America's most underrated bands
and seeing them)n a place as small
as the Chance
·1s
a sure bet for a
magic night.
If, as lots of folks did, you saw
one of the shows without knowing
too much of the music and liked
what you heard, you might want to

Part of the rites of initiation was

I had to make certain com-

in the commune, the high priest
called me into his office and tact-
fully told me I should leave the
church. He tried to soften the blow
by telling me it was because I never
got the hymns right and I looked
ridiculous in a toga. But I know the
real reason was that I intimidated
too many people with the aura of
my spirituality.

Rock, jazz

by Gina Disanza
OK, so we made it through last
week's Valentine's Day festivities
(hopefully in one piece) and now
it's on to other items of impor-
tance. Work is starting to load up
just a tad and you really can use
something to calm your nerves and
give you a new perspective on life.
Well, let's think for a minute.
Calming
...

It's still too early for Spring Break
in the Bahamas, so that's out.
There's certainly no hope for a
tropical heat wave here, so that's
out, too. What about a nice
.quiet
evening hanging out and listening
to your stereo in your room? Not
likely (unless you Jive off campus).
But what if you listened to music
somwhere else.: .a live perfor-
mance, perhaps. Music calms the
savage breast and all that stuff,
right'? So, let's see what's on tap
for this week in the area's inusic
scene.
As luck would have it, there's
one of the world's finest chamber
orchestras at the Bardavon 1869
Opera House on Friday night (all
right, so maybe it wasn't luck,_
may~e I planned it this way). The
Salzburg Musici, founded in 1980
by renowned Austrian violinist
Helmut Zehetmair, will be perfor-
ming conct;rtos by Vivaldi, Handel,
Bach and Mozart. Violinist Nadja
Salerno-Sonnenberg, who has been
seen on 20/20 and the Tonight
Show with Johnny Carson, is the
soloist. Tickets for the show, which
begins at 8 p.m., are $10 and, as
always, half-price tickets are
available on a first-come-first-serve
basis
on
the
day
of
t_he
performance.
But, if concertos aren't your
thing and you're looking for_
something wilder, we still can help.
Onthe same night, right across the
street from the Bardavon at the
Mid-Hudson Civic Center, Alice
Cooper will be performing a
somewhat louder, maybe a bit
•
more offensive, type of music (you
can bet we'll have an interesting
scene on our hands if the concerts
let out at the same time). Cooper's
stage performance kind of speaks
for itself and I'm sure you won't
want to miss his heartfelt live ren-
dition of the theme song from the
latest "Friday the 13th" movie.
Now that we've gone from one
extreme to other (with all due
respect to fans of both types
-of
music), we're going to move on to
something
new
and
dif-
ferent...cowpunk. Yeah, it's finally
caught
up with us here in
Poughkeepsie.
The Georgia Satellites (you know
them - the attractive(?!?) dudes
that sing off-key in the back of a
pickup truck and manage to make
loads of money doing it) will be at
the Chance on Saturday, Feb. 21,
singing their hit songs "Keep Your
Hands to Yourself" (what a great
song!) and "Battleship Chains,"as
well as other G.S. classics.

10- THE CIRCLE- February 19, 1987
CIA: The 1·if
e of
student chef.
by Diane L. Rossini
Garde manger, charcuterie,
stewarding and meat fabrication.
For those who attend The
Culinary Institute of America,
these are just a few of the required
courses -
part of a curriculum
much different from ours.
The purpose of the CI~ is to·
provide
students
with
the
knowledge and training to b_ecome
an apprentice chef and cook. The
core of the curriculum is to com-
plete a foodservice education that
includes table service, wines, bar
management, menu and facilities
planning, cost control, supervisory
development,
storeroom
and
stewarding.
.
Most students going into the
CIA already have a specialty in
mind, says Joesph Calabrese, a stu-
dent from Chicago, Illinois.
inventory.
Rochelle
Huppin,
from
Spokane, Wash, said her toughest
class is charcuterie, taking meat-
trimmings and making other pro-
ducts from it. "Sausage making is
the hardest - stuffing raw pork in-
to casings is gross," says Huppin.
"But bake shop is my favorite,
pastry making is my specialty."
The courses offered encompass
a wide variety of topics. Cooking
is the main focus, but many other
subjects are covered.
Classes in food service business
law,
storeroom
operations,
hospitality management systems,
and culinary French are required.
Seafood cookery, Oriental, French,
Italian, and American regional
cuisine are all offered.
Approximately
J
,850 students
attend the CIA in Hyde Park,
which has a staff of 90 chefs, most
having world-wide experience.
True fans
These enthusiastic students present at the home basketball
games,
seem as dedicated to the team as the players are.
Calabrese's favorite is garde
manger, the technique of cold food
preparation. This concentrates on
ice sculpture, reception foods, a la
carte appetizers and grand buffet
arrangements.
Apartheid_ protests have quietect·ctown
"Though this does not aooear to
be a difficult course, a certain
amount of skill and creativity are
involved," said Calabrese.
The CIA offers a two-year pro-
gram plus a required externship of
•
21 weeks. Students have six and a
half hours of classes a day, five
days a week.
The daily attire is the traditional
garb which is provided by th CIA.
It consists of a cook's white jacket,
white apron, side towel, necker-
chief and a toque, the chef's hat.
A personal hygiene code is signed
and each day the student is graded
on his or her personal appearance.
Calabrese considers stewarding
to be one of the harder classes, the
class that students fail most often
because it includes formulas and
computation. Stewarding involves
diningroom ware, equipment, and

Depending on who is doing the
talking, the anti-apartheid move-
ment that flared on hundreds of
American campuses during the last
two years is in a quieter, "follow-
through" stage, stronger than ever,
dwindling or dying.
After abruptly igniting sit-ins
and protests two years ago, some
observers say the movement's suc-
cess may be changing it. More than
120 colleges and universities have
sold all or part of their holdings in
firms that do business in segrega-
tionist South Africa.
Protests do continue. Students at
Washington, Penn State, Brandeis,
Dartmouth,
oe·orgia,
North
Carolina State and Florida, among
others, all mounted anti-apatheid
demonstrations during January.
Activists: Don't be
J
ooled
College Press Service
Perhaps as a way to keep
misperceptions from stalling the
campus anti-apartheid movement,
a group of movement organizers
has issued a set of guidelines to help
students decide if companies and
colleges have gotten completely out
of South Africa.
In 1968, scores of companies left
South Africa, but the guidelines
seek to help colleges that still own
stock in those firms to determine
if the exodus was "a sham" or not.
The activists fear colleges,
reading the headlines about firms
leaving South Africa, may figure
they no longer have to sell stock in
those c;ompanies to cut their ties to
the nation.
To date, "more than 120 colleges
have taken action to divest
themselves of South Africa-related
stocks," says Rob Jones of the
American Committee on Africa,
one of the groups that has been in-
strumental in organizing campus
protests of college ties to South
Africa's segregationist gov~rnment.
But some of the companies, he
adds, "will still be ma.king money
from South African connections.
They're still supplying technology,
services and products to the South
African economy."
For example, while Eastman
Kodak's exodus from South Africa
was complete, business analysts
note other companies like General
Motors, Shell, Mobile, Texaco,
pepsi, and Coca Cola, continue to
supply formulas and materials to
the country" through subsidiaries
and license agreements.
/
"Corporations sell their holdings
to South Africans but continue to
maintain trade links," says Indiana·
University linguistics Professor
Stan Dubinski.
The guidelines -
published by
Jones' American Committee on
Africa, the American Friends Ser-
vice Committee, the Interfaith
Center on Corporate Responsibili-
ty,
TransAfrica
and
the
Washington Office on Africa -
seek to make those distinctions
clear.

this week is music (and plenty of
it). There's something for everyone
from classical to jazz to hard rock

want, the week ahead promises to
be a great one, so enjoy!
But scores of campuses featured
demonstrations during comparable
periods in 1985 and 1986, and even
at the schools that did protest
recently,
observers
concede
something has changed.
They say students are more con-
servative, that the movement is
more subtle or that most of their
troubles can be
_traced
to bored
news media.
Local press coverage has been
"really bad lately," says Florida
professor and anti-apartheid ac-
tivist Tom Auxter. Many .local
stories have been critical of the Stu-
Editor Jonathan Moses thinks the
divestiture movement at Harvard
still has strength, but notes it may
be changing somewhat.
The "open governance" issue,
which would
make
Harvard's in-
vestment decisions more public and
was sparked by the divestiture
movement, is gaining momentum,
"with some (pro-divestiture) alum-
ni now getting very active, even
running for seats on Harvard's
Board of Overseers," Moses says.
"(Harvard) might actually divest
if governance (of its stock port-
folio) is more open,"·he adds.
Moses predicts more activity
with spring's warmer weather. So
does Rob Jones, projects director
for the American Committee on
Africa.
•
The movement is still strong, but
"more diverse" and going into "its
follow-through stage," observes
Patrick Bond, an anti-apartheid ac-
tivist at Johns Hopkins U.
"More sophisticated tactics ·are
being used," Bond says, including
the boycotting
of banks. A
boycott, he says, got Maryland Na-
tional to pull out-of South Africa

Roughly two dozen students at-
tended the open house last week at
the Lowell Thomas Communica-
tions Center.
The event, the firsl of three
10
be
held this month in honor of the
building's opening, was planned
solely for the students.
Addressing those who attended,
Academic Vice President Marc
vanderHeyden said the building
represents the integrating of com-
munication arts and computer
science in society today.
"Communication
arts is a
human knowledge and computer
science is technological," he said.
"Putting
the two disciplines
together will greatly benefit the
students."
•
Executive Vice President John
Lahey referred to the center as a
giant leap forward for the college,
and President Dennis Murray said,
"It's up to lhe students to bring the
center to life."
Two Marist alumni, successful in
the fields of
communication
arts
and computer science, were guest
speakers at the event.
"With this new facility the op-
portunities arc boundless," said
Gigi Birdas, manager of editorials
for WCBS radio and a 1977
graduate of Marist. "lt will bring
out the best of the faculty and
students."
Jim Cosentino, a senior systems
engineer with IBM and a
1972
Marist graduate, said the building
was not only restricted
to
technology, it represented change.
He encouraged students to be the
"author" of change'and lei others
benefit from it.
The overall reaction to the
building by the
siudents
who were
at the reception was a positive one.
"I'm really impressed. it looks
better than
l
thought .it would,"
said Len Wik, a junior, majoring
in business.
And several
students
said the im-
portance of the center will depend
on how the students use it.
"From what I see it has fantastic
potential," said Bryan Mullen, a
junior computer science major.
"It's up to the students to take ad-
vantage of the resources finally
allocated to them."
"The resources are impressive; I
just hope they get used," said Tom
Haessler, a junior, majoring in
computer science.
Gallery to honor
_Thomas
by Diane Pomilla
He was born in 1892. He died in
1981. In those 89 years, Lowell
Thomas wrote over 50 books on
travel and exploration, launched
Cinerama and was the voice of
Movietone News.
Starting next week, Marist will
honor Thomas by displaying
memorabilia of his life in the lob-
by of the newly constructed Lowell
Thomas Communications Center,
according to Emily Burdis, direc-
tor of public relations.
The initial display will be install-
ed on Thursday, Feb. 26, with final
alterations set to be completed by
March 14, according to Burdis.
The gallery will be set up direct-
ly behind the front door of the
Thomas
Center,
and
the
memorabilia will be divided into
several sections, said Burdis.
On the East/West walls will be
a variety of photographs and
posters reflecting the life of
Thomas in chronological order,
starting with his birth in Cripple
Creek, Colo.
The display will include pictures
of his
career
as a foreign correspon-
dent in World War I and World
War II, said Burdis.
It
will show his
influence· with Cinemascope and
radio and it will document his ex-
tensive travel throughout
the
world, she said.
At the base of the gallery will be
glass cases featuring early radio
technology like old fashioned
microphones.
"Inside the cases will be artifacts
that compliment the images on the
wall," said Burdis. "However, we
are somewhat in flux -
there are
no final plans."
Currently, the Lowell Thomas
estate in Pawling, N.Y., is being
dismantled by his secretary. Burdis
has been collecting and selecting
memorabilia with her help.
Burdis has also been assisted by
Pam Myers, director of exhibits at
the Margaret Strong Museum in
Rochester, N. Y. She has served as
technical
advisor and helped
finalize the decision of artifacts.
Thomas
was an
•
extremely
popular person throughout the
world, according to Burdis.
.Parker Brothers named a game
after him called the Lowell Thomas
travel game. His name has been us-
ed for a mountain range in the An-
tarctic, an island in the Artie and
several schools in the United States
and Asia.
"It's amazing how well loved
this man was," she said. "He
received thousands of letters from
fans."
His achievements include travel-
ing to Jerusalem
where he
discovered Lawrence of Arabia and
wrote his biography, launching the
first television news program for
the National Broadcasting Com-
pany in 1939, and narrating for
20th Century Fox "Movietone"
newsreels.
"He worked literally up to the
day he died," said Burdis. "Lowell
Thomas was the most prolific
writer and speaker who ever lived."

Spring Break
Marist students prepare.-to go south in a few weeks
by Jo.nna Spilbor
If there is one thing college
students look forward to almost as
much as they do graduation, it's
Spring Break.
This spring college students will
flock to the most popular young
adult vacation area, Fort Lauder-
dale, Fla.
Because the major airlines,
hotels and county police know this,
"tips" on tickets, reservations, and
vacation conduct will help insure •
students a safe and· fun-filled
adventure.
The month of March is con-
sidered "peak" season for both
airlines and hotels, which means air
fares and room rates go up. The
average plane ticket on major
airlines such as Delta and Eastern
is $279 round trip. Piedmont's "no
frill" ticket is about
$20
less than
the others.
For those who only want the
best, a first class round trip ticket
on any of the major airlines will
cost approximately $849.
The least expensive way to
Florida, besides driving, is the Am-
trak
Train.
Leaving
from
Poughkeepsie, it only costs $150
round trip, however it will take 24
hours traveling time each way.
Students should plan ahead as
much as possible since ticket prices
can change day to day, up or down.
When purchasing a ticket, one is
guaranteed to pay the price of the
ticket on the day of. purchase, and
if the price of that ticket is lower
on the actual day of departure, you
• will be refunded the difference.
Once arriving, some find it
necesary to rent a car. All car ren-
tal establishments,
such as
Economy or Alamo, are com-
petitively priced;
A
sub-compact
car costs about $80 per week and
$19 for each additional day.
A compact car, which seats five,
costs about $90 per week and $21
for each additional day, both with
unlimited.mileage. However, a ma-
jor credit card is needed as
collateral.
Hotel ..
choice depends on how
much money one is willing to
spend, and affects how close one
is to the beach.
A travel agency can give names
and toll free phone numbers to
receive information on rates and
availablity for any hotel in Ft.
Lauderdale.
A double occupancy room,
which sleeps four, at the Holiday
Inn Beachside runs $135 per night,
but. a Holiday Inn located a few
blocks from the beach only costs
$83 per night.
The high hotel rates don't seem
to scare many Marist students, and
for some, its a problem that does
not need to be dealt with.
"I go every year, it's fantastic.
My parents own a condo there,"
said Dee Ann Gleason,
a
senior and
repeat visitor to Florida's beaches.
Another Marist senior, Maria
Clacher, said she too would love to

According to Bonnie Veltri, a
police aide with the Broward Coun-

the major stretch of beach on
Route AIA have been made wider
in hopes that pedestrians will use
it instead of walking in the road.
Veltri said there is no curfew on
the beach, however, cars are not
allowed to be parked near the
beach after 9 p.m ..
Many students i.n the past have
been arrested for disorderly con-
duct. "I remember one kid we had
in here one year who was arrested
for disorderly conduct and it was
thrown out of court. But that does
not mean it's off your record,"
Veltri said.
"It
showed up on his
two years later when he went to get
a job."
Veltri noted that drinking
alcohol on the beach is prohibited
and the legal drinking age is now
21.
Frosh size up new life
,--------------------·
Rise and shine: It's
time for that 8:15
by John R,oche
One :down, seven to go.
With one semester under their
belts, members of the Class of 1990 .
recently told of their' first impres-
sions of Marist College.
For many freshmen,
last
semester was overall, a positive
experience.
"I loved it. My classes and pro-
fessors were all really interesting.
I had a lot of fun, made a lot of
. new friends and my roommates are
really great,'' said Jennifer Schif-
fler, a communication arts major
from Bloomfield, Conn ..
Meg Brandon, 18, from Hun-
tington, N.Y., agreed. "I lucked
out with great roommates. But
everyone is friendly, so I've made
a lot of good friends. My classes
were hard, but with work I did
pretty well and had a really fun
semester," Brandon said.
Some freshmen felt the ex-
perience of getting away from
home and being on their own was
the best part of the semester.
Ty Gronbach, 18, a marketing
major from Greenlawn, N.Y., said
being away from parental supervi-
sion was a great learning ex-
perience. "With no one to· tell you
what to do and what not to do, you
have to make decisions for
yourself. I stayed up late, went out
a lot and did some crazy stuff. But
I paid for it - my grades were kind
of low. You have to learn to budget
, your time for yourself," Gorbach
said.
Like Gorbach, Guy Stead, a
political science major from Suf-
fern, N.Y., said he enjoys the in-
dependence of being away from
home, even though it means more
• responsibility.
"Waking up on my own, getting
to classes, doing laundry -
that
kind of thing meant I had to be
responsible for myself," Stead
said. "But being independent is
worth all that."
Jim
·stanton,
19,
from
Lakewood, Ohio, said he learned
a lot about himself when it came
to being on his own.
"I surpised myself that I wasn't
responsible when 'it came to
priorities - taking care of the im~
portant things. But I proved to
myself that I could make it on my
own, along way from home," he
said.
Yet, there are some who feel col~
lege regulations make it difficult to
be independent.
"I'm very disappointed in the
lack of privacy in the dorms. The
constant supervision by housing
people makes me feel like I'm still
in high school, not an adult," said
Tim Allen, a communication arts
major from Westport, Conn ..
Most ·impressions of. the first •
semester fell under two categories
-
academics and social life.
Some freshmen felt Marist was
difficult
when it came to
academics, others expected much
worse.
,
"You have to put a lot of work
in but you get a lot out, too,"
Brandon said. "
Nancy Herrmann, 18, from
Lynnbrook, N.Y., said the school
work wasn't what she had feared.
"It wasn't that bad. I expected it
to be a lot worse. I heard all these
stories about all-nighters and
papers, but I didn't really get pil-
ed up with work like that," she
said.
One
freshman
strongly
disagreed. "I thought it was rough.
It's a lot harder and so much more
work than high school. It is a lot
tougher than I expected. I did well
but I wasn't really ready for the
work,"
said Karen Daly, of
Manhattan.
Impressions of social life at
Marist ranged from. bad, to good,
to great.
Stanton said • coming to New
York state from Ohio was a big
change because the drinking age is
only 19 in his home state. "Deal-
ing with the 21 law and the dry
campus was hard, but my friends
and I manage to have fun," he
said.
Stead said he thinks Marist could
provide more activities for those
not of the legal drinking age.
"There's nothing to do on the
weekends. I think the school should
have lots more activities, like
dances and things," he said.
Allen said there isn't really any
alternative to going to bars on the
weekends. "Without an I.D. -
real or fake - there's no social life
whatsoever," he said.
Several freshmen said they just
leave campus and entertain
themselves elsewhere.
"Me and my friends usually go
to Vassar. It's an alternative," said
Rob Pollack, a communication arts
major from Pittsfield, Mass ..
For others, the social life at
Marist deserved high ratings. Herr-
mann said she feels there is more
than enough to do at you look,"
she said.
•
Mike Buckley, 18, from Queens,
said Marist is fun. "I'm really hav-
ing fun. It's a fun place," he said.
Confidence and maturity were
two things several freshmen claim-
ed to have gained over the
semester.
Buckley said he feels more
responsible and more like an adult.
"My mom said I seem different.·
She said she knew it was going to
happen but she didn't realize it
would happen so quickly," he said.
Herrmann said she feels she, too,
has changed because of her one
complete semester of college. "I
feel more.mature. And I've become
more outgoing. You have to be
more outgoing when you're in a
situation where you don't know
anvone," she said.
by Julia E. Murray
Row upon row of heads slowly sink down. toward desktops,
only to jerk back up a moment later in an attempt at nonchalant
consciousness. Styrofoam cups filled with hot, life-giving liquid
caffeine are clutched tightly in almost every pair of hands in
fevered attempts to stay both warm and awake. The sight is
a common one, something seen five days a week in Donnelly
Hall and Marist East. It's an 8:15 class.
Early morning classes are something every college student,
and professor, is warned about, but few can avoid. Some ac-
tually prefer 8:15 classes because they leave the rest of the day
free.
.
"I'm still kind of waking up; but I'm glad to get it over with.
If I do take an 8:15, I have an extra hour later in the day of
free time for myself," said Jacqueline Bono, an English major
from Staatsburg, N.Y., with one 8:15.
"I'm not really a morning person, but 8: 15s go by faster,
and I find it easier to pay attention," said John Scagliotti, a
business major from Bergenfield, N.J., who has 8:15 classes
Monday through Thursday.
Not everyone finds it easier
to
pay attention in 8:
15
classes.
Due to the early hour, some students have devised plans not
only to help them pay attention, but also to stay awake.
"I drive to school, so once I get all the way in, I'm usually
awake. I always drink coffee beforehand, though. Then I'm
definitely awake," Bono said.
"I just keep moving. I stare at the teacher and doodle in my
notebook. And I also drink coffee -
a large coffee," said
Oretha Armstrong, an undeclared major from Poughkeepsie.
Unfortunately, not all methods work all of the time, and oc-
casionally the unthinkable does happen.
"I've fallen asleep once or twice in 8:15s, but the teachers
didn't notice because l was sitting in the back of the room,"
Scagliotti said.
Of course, in order to pay attention in a class, it is generally
accepted that one must first get to the class, a feat some students
find difficult
to
accomplish no matter what the hour. There is
little doubt, though, that 8: 15s provide an extra challenge to
conscientious students.
"I keep hitting the snooze button," said Scagliotti.
"Sometimes I sleep right through my alarm and my roommates
have to come and hit me to get me up."
"I find it hard to get up that early, especially with the cold
weather. I have to get up extra early now to get ready in time,"
said Armstrong.

Magarity: Foxes have a six-game mission
by Paul Kelly
Dave Magarity has started a
small project.
He wants the Marist men's
basketball team to win six straight
games.
Considering the Red Foxes (14-9
overall, 11-1 ECAC Metro) have
won eight consecutive contests, the
project does not seem too difficult
to complete, right?
Wrong.
"My project is to win six games
in a row," said Magarity.
"If
we
do that, we'll be 20-9 and in the
NCAA Tournament. That's going
to be tough."
"If we make the NCAA's, every
possible goal we have
is
achieved,"
said Magarity.
Last Saturday, the Red Foxes
reduced Magarity's magic number
to six with a 70-52 victory over
ECAC Metro foe Monmouth.
However, if this game is any in-
dication of the nature of the six
contests remammg, Magarity's
project will not come to fruition
easily. In the opening half, Marist
played sluggishly and led the host
Hawks by a slim 32-29 margin at
intermission.
But, in the second half, Marist
held the Hawks to just 23 points
and cruised to a 70-52 victory.
Sophomore forward Miroslav
.
Pecarski led the Red Foxes with 15
points. Monmouth was paced by
Remond Palmer, who scored 14.
The Red Foxes played a crucial
ECAC Metro battle last night at
McCann against second-place
Fairleigh Dickinson. With a win
against FDU, the Red Foxes would
clinch their second ECAC Metro
regular;season title in three years.
"It is probably the most impor-
tant game in the history of Division
One basketball here," said Magari-
ty last TuesQay.
Results of the FDU contest were
unavailable at press time.
Marist will play Wagner this
Saturday in Madison· Square
Garden .. The game marks the Red
Foxes' second appearance in the
Garden this season.
Next week, Marist will travel to
Western Pennsylvania to finish the
regular season with a Thursday
contest against St. Francis, Pa.,
and a Saturday afternoon game
against Robert Morris.
Magarity said St. Francis, Pa,
which Marist trounced 75-52 at
McCann on Feb. 2, would be a dif-
ferent team this Thursday for. one
reason -
1979-1983.
From 1979-1983, Magarity
was
the Red Flash' head coach.
•
"That place (Stokes Center) is
going to be sold out because of me
coming back," said Magarity.
"They're going to be pumped. I
don't know how to tell the kids that
they're a different team after we
demolished them."
Against Monmouth, Marist's 2-3

mouth to shoot just 30.8 percent

It's a different game now for Murphy
..,
by Chris Barry
On Saturday the men's basketball team
will be playing in Madison Square Garden.
There is a very good chance that Tim Mur-
phy will play only a few minutes, if any at
all. For Murphy, being there is good enough.
He does not expect to see a whole lot of
playing time. He knows his role. He knows
his role and accepts it.
Murphy's role is to push the starters in
practice. Through their performance, Mur-
phy gets his gratitude.
..
"When they do good, it's like I'm doing
good because it's· a result of how I've
prepared them in practice," he said.
After three years as a walk-on, the 21-year-
old senior from Cromwell, Conn., finally
earned a scholarship this season. He also
earned something else early this season - a
starting role.
Murphy started the first five games of the
season for Marist, while the Red Foxes were
reeling from the NCAA's suspension of Rik·
Smits, Miroslav Pecarski and Rudy
Bourgarel.
With the "Triple Towers"· return,
however, Murphy has spent more time squir-
ming on the bench than battling with oppos-
ing players underneath the basket.
Still, there is no resentment about the
amount of action he currently sees on the
court.
"Sometimes when you work so hard, you
feel if you'd only be given the chance you
would be able to prove that you're as good
as everyone else," Murphy said. "I was given
the opportunity to play a lot in the beginn-
ing of the year when they needed me."
Now with the team back at full strength,
bis role is once again limited to being most-
ly a cheerleader. Still, that doesn't bother
him.
"You get so into it that you want the team
to do good," he said. "When the other
players see you standing up on the bench it
gets them pumped up."
When the team forges a large lead and he
gets in the game, he is rewarded for work-
ing so hard in practice.
He also finds the crowd rewarding. "They·
feel for you," he said. "When you've work-
ed so hard they want you to do good. Even
though we only play a couple of minutes it
still gets you psyched."

No, this is not a cruel, Plimp-

The Marist College icemen look-

Marist hockey team, 2-14-1 enter-

Marist lost to C.W. Post 154

The Red Foxes will host Kean
College this Saturday at the Mid-
Hudson Civic Center.
Last night's results against For-
dham University were not available
at press time.
During the Post game, the Red
Foxes kept the game close for the
first ten minutes as-the score was
tied 2-2. Post hacl taken an early

similar to that issued by the
Associated Press, which ranks na-
tional powerhouses. Marist was im-
mortalized in Grummert's "The 10
Best Teams the West Coast Never

How did

Grummert discover
Marist?
"I don't remember exactly,"
said Grummert in a telephone in-

"I
was drawn to teams
that were unusual. There are so
many schools in so many pockets
you never hear about, especially in
North Idaho."

Pacific-IO foe Southern California,
a loss which typified WSU's dismal
season.
The next morning,
Sahlberg; assistant sports editor at
the Morning Tribune, wrote a col-
umn urging Lewistonians to sup-
.
port a new team, the Marist Red
Foxes from beautiful Poughkeep-
sie, N.Y.
"It
became high time to turn our
allegiance to a team that will make
the NCAA (Tournament) and
Marist was the obvious choice,"
said Tribune Sports Editor Jeff
Spevak in a telephone interview.
"It's been a joke in the back of our
minds."
Sahlberg was on assignment and
could not be reached for comment .
The Morning Tribune began
printing stories about Marist box
scores and game stories. The paper
also is sponsoring· a Marist fight
song contest which concludes Feb.
28.
Spevak said the students at
Jenifer Junior High School in
Lewiston would probably be the
sole contributors to the contest.
"We're counting on the junior
high kids," said Spevak. "There's
a lot of creative kids in Lewiston."

Net mornings come early
by Aline Sullivan
Time: 6:35 a.m. The calendar
reads Thursday, Feb. 12.
It is still too dark out to tell if
the sun will charm us with its warm
rays. The temperature outside feels
like at least 10 degrees; at most -
15 degrees.
However, a group of athletes
gather in the McCann gym every
day at this time, regardless of the
temperature outside.
This group is the Maris! men's
tennis team.
Slowly they stretch out their
muscles, with the greatest care.
Then one-by-one they find a place
in between the lines taped on the
Mccann floor defining the pseudo-
tennis courts and begin to volley to
one another. Together, they have
on their bodies every conceivable
·combination
of shorts, ranging
from traditional white garb to fad-
dish surf wear.
George Dioguardo, who has the
task of coaching the group, is war-
ming up along with them. After
each break in the volley, Dioguar-
do offers some technical advice to
help each player correct his
mistakes.
Dioguardo, known to many on
campus as "George the R.D.," is
in his first year of coaching the
Marist team. Having played tennis
since he was 11 and participating
on his college team for four years,
Dioguardo said he was qualified to
accept the position of head coach
for the Red Fox netters.
By 7:15 a.m., the real work
begins.
The group begins to run laps
around the gym at a fast pace.
After that, they form a line and
start on intense footwork coor-
dination drills; Dioguardo includ-
ed. The drills take many forms,
and require absolute concentration.
"We do not want to have any
twisted ankles, especially so early
in the season," Dioguardo said.
The team, comprised of two
seniors,
one
junior,
three
sophomores and four freshman, is
practicing together for the first time
in nine days. "These are the guys
who- made the final cut," said
Dioguardo. "The list was just
posted this morning."
The team closed last season with
an impressive 12-2 overall record.
Team member James Hayes said
the team looks strong this season
as well. "We have a lot of depth
this
year,"
said Hayes,
a
sophomore from Brantingham,
N. Y. "The freshmen look really
gooq which will really help us out."
Hayes, as well as freshman Sean
Raleigh, said the only team pro-
blem they could see involved the
adjustment for the new members.
"The skill level so much better than
the guys I played against in high
school," said Raleigh. "There is so
much competition in college, a lot
more than l ever expected."
During the next few weeks,
Dioguardo said practice would
..
stress improving the skills of each
player. "While it is still too cold to
play outside, the guys are going to
work hard with drills to improve
their endurance and agility," said
Dioguardo.
Until the warm weather arrives,
the
team
will seek refuge within the
walls of Mccann, practicing on
two courts set up at either end of
the gym. "The guys are going to
have to re-adjust to playing outside
in the spring because these courts
are much faster ... I am just glad
that they have a place to play for
now," said Dioguardo.
Jen O'Neil: Scorer lets her shooting do the talking
by
Dan Pietrafesa
The title of Jennifer O'Neil's
position best describes her game:

basketball star can't do· other
things. In recent action against
Long Island University, she record-
ed a steal, did a behind

pass to her sister, Jackie, and then
got fouled as she followed up with

and missed shot of her
own.
But defense and rebounding are

she shot nine for 18 from the field

On the court, she gets high praise
for her drive to excel. "She is a
hard worker and determined player
on and off the court," said Marist
Head Coach Ken Babineau. "She
is the best pure shooter on the
team."
"She has a great future here at
Marist," Jackie O'Neil said. "She
is playing super for us."

Her credentials
at North

weren't too shabby either. She is

Her happiest moment came last

defeated favorite Clarkstown

game.
"It
went down to the wire,"
O'Neil said. "We pulled together
and came out victorious. The
rivalry was there."

The student nurses organized the
meeting on Tuesday with parents
and administrators after reviewing
the notes from recent cabinet •
meetings, said Deschamps.
According to the notes, which
are public record; an extensive
report was completed on the nurs-
ing program by vanderHeyden and
his staff.
According to student nurses, the
results of the meeting Tuesday were
a surprise.
"I had known the cabinet had
discussed the program, but I didn't

program," said Lisa McHugh, a
stuaent in the program. "That was
the only thing I didn't know."

Marist has ever had. He has been
a factor in each of Marist's wins
this season.
John
Andreasen,
also . a
freshman, has continually' shown
improvement this season. His third
place 2:14.18 in the 200-individual
medley was a new career record.
"We closed out this season with
16 swimmers," said VanWagner.
"Though we've lost a lot in the
past, all of these fellas deserve
credit for sticking it out."

aginative teenagers began writing
the official Marist fight song in
Mrs. Lois Woelfel's seventh~grade
Language Arts class at Jenifer
Junior High. "We hope to have it
done in a week," said Woelfel in
a telephone interview. •
The kids of Lewiston aren't the
only people jumping on the Marist
bandwagon. Even the mayor has
caught Fox Fever.
"I'll confess that I have been
watching Marist with interest,"
said Lewiston Mayor Gene Mueller
in a telephone interview. "It has
aroused my interest and I'm sort of
hoping they go to the NCAA Tour-
nament."
This Saturday, Lewistonians will
experience chants of "Roo-dy,
Roo-dy" and the thunderous drone
of Madison Square Garden fans
almost first-hand. KRLC-AM in
Lewiston will intercept the signal of
Poughkeepsie's
WJJB-FM and
broadcast the pre-game show and
the first half of the Marist-Wagner
game this Saturday in Madison
Square Garden.
What does Marist Head Coach
Dave Magarity think about the
Idaho connection?

"I don't think that much about
it," said Magarity. "If we win the
NCAA's and they have a banquet
for us, then I'll take it seriously."

"This is a f~n team to be on,"
said O'Neil. "We're here for each
other, and the coaches are
excellent."
If the 5-8 freshman has a
weakness, it's a lack of foot speed.
"I'm just not giving up in prac-
tice," said O'Neil. "I'm pushing
myself. I'm doing some work with
agility, sprints and distance. I could
'work on everything. There is
always room for improvement."
Her arrival at Marist meant a
reunion with her sister, Jackie, who
plays forward for the team.
"We're good for each other out
there," said Jackie. "She looks for
me, and I look for her for assists.
It's great playing together again."
"It's fun and I love it," said Jen-
nifer. "It's great on the court.
"When my head is down, she is
there to pick me up."
