Student nurses begin effort to save program
by Jean E. Clements
, Student nurses began a letter
witing campaign this week in an ef-
fort to save the nursing program at
Marist.
Last week, in a meeting between
student . nurses, parents and· ad-
ministrators, Academic Vice Presi-
dent Marc vanderHeyden announc-
ed thar the status of the nursing
program was under review, but a
decision to cancel the program had
not been made.
. The student nurses are currently
writing letters to members of the
faculty, administration and the
board of trustees in an attempt to
save the program and express their
anger.
"The only accomplishment of
the meeting was we found out
where we stood,"
said Pat
Deschamps, president of the Stu-
dent Nurses Association. "I ex-
pected to hear it was a rumor. We
were all shocked about it."
Many present, including Lisa
McHugh, a sophomore from
North Babylon N.Y., said it seem-
ed a decision had already been
made to delete the program.
"I felt like it had already been
decided before the meeting," said
McHugh. She said she saw one
mother pass a note to her daughter
that read, "Your nursing at Marist
is history."
Sophomore Kim Srebotnik,
from Danbury Conn., said she felt
like a bomb had been dropped on
her. "It's a constant worry. What
should I do? What should I be do-
ing?" she said.

said Marist is considering options
if the program is dropped.
The college is investigating block
transfers to other schools with nur-
sing programs. Marist has con-
tacted Mount Saint Mary College,

lege, Hamden Conn., and Russell
Sage College, Troy, N.Y., accor-
ding to vanderHeyden.
This option does not appeal to
most nursing students, especially
those like Deschamps, who have
families and are settled in the area.
It also affects the younger
students.
"Everyone I have talked to

schools," said Srebotnik. "No one

gram. We made our lives here."
"They are doing their planning

said Deschamps, a junior.

Peer pressure: Friendship can have costs
by Michael O'Looney
It
was Wednesday night and
Ma.ureen
McGuinness,
a
sophomore communication arts
major, had a problem.
She planned on staying in for the
night to get up in time for an im-
• portant
8:
15 class the next morn-
ing. But her friends, who wanted
her to come out drinking with
them, had different ideas.
"I didn't want to go out," said
McGuinness,
"but
when my
friends started bugging me to go
out with them I didn't want to look
like a loser and have them think less
of me. I had to act cool; I was
afraid of what they might think."
McGuinness said she did go out,
drank too much, and slept through
her class.
McGuinness' decision to go out
illustrates the impact peer pressure
has on the everyday life of a
student.
"The decision whether to
socialize or study is probably the
greatest pressure in a college stu-
dent's life," said Yvonne Poley, a
counselor at Marist.
According
to Poley, peer
pressure effects everyone at every
age but has a greater impact on
some students because it is a time
of separation from parents and the
values of the home setting.
People with low self-esteem are
the most vulnerable to peer
pressure, said Poley.
"They, like all of us, yearn to be
accepted and loved," said Poley.
"So they act in a way they think
others will approve of to fit in."
Dr. Louis Zuccarello, professor
of political science, who has been
a member of the Marist faculty for
20 years has witnessed peer
pressure in his classroom.
"In a number of classes I've had,
I regret that at times certain
students
feel inhibited
from
demonstrating real academic en-
thusiasm for fear of what others
may think," said Zuccarello.
Maturity, not drugs, sex or
alcohol is the underlying pressure
in a student's life, according to a
student mentor who asked not to
be identified.
People tend to call negative in-
fluences peer pressure and positive
influences support systems, said
Stephen
Bentley,
upperclass
mentor.
Bentley said most students need
positive peer pressure to get
through four years of college.
"Peers can act as a positive in-
fluence and buddy-up to each other
for support and motivation," said
Bentley.
It's the constant choice of what
to do that often results in com-
promises like studying until
lO
p.m.and then going out, said
Bentley.
Bentley said he thinks students

stand up and make their own
decisions.

The two, better known as Ox

the crowd in
stitches when they ·clinched the
semifinals of the competition for
the funniest ~allege person
in
the
Hudson Valley last Thursday night
in the River Room.

Hatem, the winner in last week's
contest, and Roche, the runner-up,
now advance to the finals at
Bananas
Comedy
Club
in
Poughkeepsie tomorrow night at
the end of the club's regular 9 p.m.
show.
Both Hatem and Roche said they
would like to see as many Marist
supporters as possible at the show.
They will be competing against
students from SUNY New Paltz,
Vassar, Dutchess Community Col-
lege and the Culinary Institute of
America ..
Hatem, a senior political science
major from Brooklyn, said he did
not ·prepare for the semifinals, but
used re2! -life experiences as the
basis of his act.
"Honestly, it was not a routine
-
I was in a bad mood and that's
why· my act was so bitter," said
Hatem.
Roche, a senior communication
arts major from the Bronx, said he
also went on stage and just "wing-
ed" it. His goal was to get the
crowd laughing immediately.
"Just as the first line of a play
is the most crucial, so is the first
joke," said Roche, who is directing
the upcoming Marist production
"Fifth of July."
.
Hatem, a senior political science
major from Brooklyn, said he had
no previous experience in comedy.
He said he is funny only after he's
had too much to drink at parties.
Roche said he has no real interest
in comedy. "When it com~s to my
writing and acting I'm very serious
about it," he said.
Other comic performers at the
semifinals ineluded freshman
Melissa Pouch, junior Frank

AID,S
•
speaker urges care
by Todd Jesaitis
AIDS prevention through "safe sex" was the topic of discus-
·sion
last week when Aids Task Force Educator Deborah May spoke
at Marist.
by
Lauren Arthur
Nightclass has finally ended. It's
freezing outside and your
car
is just
across the street from Marist East
-
at least that's what you think.
When you discover it
isn't
where
you left it, and begin searching the
lot, chances are the explanation will
be found on two tiny signs that say
"For Skinner's customers only: All
others will be towed."
.·
:
Mary Lou Knapp, a part-time
graduate student from Kingston,
has her own
story
to tell. She said
she is now $60 shorter, and a little
wiser, due to the incident.
r
It was a cold night and the
Marist East parking lot was full, so
Knapp parked in the lot on the
other side of Waterworks Rd. -
the one she thought belonged to
Marist.
After class,· she and a friend
returned to the spot where her '77
Honda used to be. Before Empire
Recovery got a hold of it', that is.
After checking with the manage-
ment of Skinner's, who confirmed
the car had been towed, Knapp's
professor gave her and another
woman a ride tQ the Empire office.
Once she arrived at Empire,
Knapp and other car-less people
were not allowed in the building,
but had siay outside and spoken
through a little plastic window.
When Knapp tried to pay the $60
towing fee with a credit card, she
was informed that Empire accepted
cash only. She then had to borrow
money from her professor, Eugene
Melan, adjunct
professor
of
business, to cover the fee because
she had spent most of her own
money buying books earlier that
evening.
Knapp said she didn't realize un-
til after her
car
had been towed that
.
the parking·tot in question didn't
·
belong to Marist, because the war-
ning signs are in the back and bare-
ly visible from where she parked.
Only after searching the lot for
such signs did she notice them at
all.
•
"I
would never park my car
•
somewhere and risked getting tow-
.
ed," said Knapp.
According to Kathy Martin,
manager of Skinner's, such ag-
gravating situations can easily be
avoided. Martin. a 34-year-old resi-
Downtown Growth:
dent of Hyde Park, said they have
put flyers on cars in addition to the
two signs in the back of the lot, but
violations persist.
•
•·
-«We're out to make a business,
and when students park in our lot,
it looks packed when it's really
.
not," said Martin. She said when
this happens, it keeps customers
from coming in because they think
it's too crowded.
•
If someone is intoxicated,
however, and wants to leave his or
her car in the lot rather than drive
home, Martin said it's no problem,
provided the person leaves his
name and licence plate number
with the management.
Marist
security
has
also
distributed flyers to the users of the
Marist East lot, specifically stating
the north and south lots are the on-
ly legal parking zones for Marist
students and faculty. Security will
not
take
the responsibility for
anyone towed for parking on
private property.
"Maybe students are too lazy or
too cold to walk," said Martin.
"But
excercise
doesn't
kill
anyone."
AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) has no known
cure and has infected over 30,000 people in America, according
to May.
The Mid-Hudson Valley AIDS Task Force is a private, non-
profit, community service program which deals with AIDS educa-
tion in seven counties north of New York City and is funded by
the New York State Department of Health, according to May .
"There are 10 reported AIDS cases in Dutchess County," May
said. "This is a very conservative figure because for every I per-
son with AIDS there are IO to 100 AIDS related victims that go
unreported."
Of the 33 people at last week's meeting, only a few were students.
"This is a common occurrence whenever discussing AIDS," said
May.
Generally, students are apprehensive about AIDS discussions
because of its association with homosexuals, she said. But since
the threat of AIDS to the heterosexual community has become more
publicized, she said, they are starting to wake-up.
Of the students interviewed the general consensus was that the
AIDS meeting was very informative.
"It is good to find out all the issues involving AIDS," said Paul
Cleary, an accounting major from Freeport, N.Y. "Especially when
you hear that this disease could be the new plague."
"This meeting was very important," said Tracey Morehead, a
freshman from Marlboro, N. Y. "Getting the facts from a reliable
source is a lot more reassuring than just the grapevine."
Other topics discussed were the history of AIDS, social issues
•
of AIDS patients, and specific precautions to reduce the risk of
getting AIDS.
Because of the AIDS scare people are afraid of giving blood,
and a shortage of blood has become a problem, according to May.
"There is no chance of contracting AIDS by giving blood," she
said. "All blood donor agencies use disposable sterile needles."

When' complete, the hotei will
create new jobs in Poughkeepsie
and will generate more revenue for
the community, according to
Mayor Thomas Aposporos.
The Main Mall business area,
which has struggled to survive over
the past few years, will be the
primary beneficiary of the increas-
ed business, Aposporos said.

Aposporos: "The purpose for con-

The hotel will

There wer.e many factors needed to
make the building of the hotel a
success, said developer Charles T,
McQueeiley, vice president of the
W.J. Barney Co., which is pro-
viding support for the hotel.
"It was important for us to have
a national chain. That chain would
also need a toll free number for
reservations," said McQueeney.
Aposporos called the project a
"private deal." Financing fo~ the
project, he said, came from pnvate
sources only. Efforts to gain a $2.2
million federal grant failed in April
1981, so the hotel is being funded

Clean·-it up!
Marist is in the limelight these ~ays.
And whether the students at Marist realize it or not, their actions are
molding the community's opinion of us.
More than 3,500 fans watched the Marist men's basketball team defeat
Fairleigh Dickenson University at the McCann Center last week.
Faculty, administrators, parents, students and local residents all turn-
ed out to watch the final home game of the Red Foxes' season.
The final game featured a pre-game ceremony honoring the men's and
women's basketball teams' seniors, the unveiling of two new scoreboards
and the second largest crowd to attend a basketball game at McCann.
People were looking to scalp tickets outside of McCann. The Dunkin'
Den was out in full force, The Wave was breaking all through McCann
and there was an abundance of red.
But before the game even began, students sitting in the students' sec-
tion felt the need to make a mockery out of our national anthem. Sing-
ing one line ahead of Dr. Henry ''Bud'' Pletcher, student excitement was
carried out of bounds - and an embarrassing situation was created for
Marist administrators and faculty.
You could look at it as amusing - or you could look at it as an un-
patriotic gesture disconcerting to the administration and community.
Families bring young and impressionable children to the games. When
every other student chant includes an obscenity, it not only creates an
uncomfortable situation for these parents, but for the more prudent
among us too.
This wasn't the first time student support was as invaluable as it was
embarrassing.
Head Coach Dave Magarity saw student support in the game two weeks
ago against St. Francis N.
Y..,
as the decisive factor in keying Marist's
second half rally.
But early in the season, feminine needs were directed at the visiting
cheerleaders. Our own cheerleaders were jeered at and the target of foreign
objects.
Route 9 roulette
People have taken notice of the men's basketball team at Marist. They
have taken notice of the college and its students. And, unfortunately,
they have taken notice of unacceptable student behavior.
_
S_o
now, maybe as students we should change our game plan and ex-
hibit a little more class.

a multi-million dollar facility that
exists for us, the students at Marist
College. A facility that had brought
many communication arts majors
to Marist. The most obvious reason
is the one that was printed in the
Opinion section of The Circle last
week and is probably the one that
many administrators at Marist feel
is the primary reason for the lack
of attendance at the "student open-
ing.'!. Construction of the building
siinply took too long and not atten-
ding would be "our" way of get-
ting back at "them." My excuse
for not attending is related to the
failure of projected completion,
but I think it goes far deeper than
that. To me, Lowell Thomas means
lies. The same lies that people who
have already graduated from
Marist
and - had been promised
Lowell Thonias upon entrance in-
to Marist as freshman, can also
relate to. To me, a lie is the worst
form of communication that can
occur. Its intent is to deceive and
we at Marist College have been
deceived. Don't get me wrong, just
as our student body president said
on opening day " ... today we must
be thankful to the college," I am
thankful. Marist has provided us
with great opportunities in Lowell
Thomas. However, I think there
will always
be
bad attitudes concer-
ning Lowell Thomas
as
long as
"our generation" of students reside
at Marist. What I mean by "our
generation" of students are the
people that have been here to
witness the lies put forth by the col~
lege with intent to deceive us, the
students. And, in case you haven't
noticed, I haven't called our new
facility by its full name, The Lowell
Thomas Communications Center.
To me, the name is a misnomer.
The Lowell Thomas Communica-
tions Center cannot communicate.
It has lied to us, the worst form of
communication. Maybe after this
year's freshmen have graduated,
the lies will be forgotten and I hope
they will be, but I'll never forget
them as long as I see or hear the
name Lowell Thomas Communica-
tions Center.

strange. Did they want to give peo-

To the _Editor:
This is not Boston College, Har-
vard, Duke, or even Vassar. This
is Marist folks. Mommy·and Dad-
dy are not here to pick up after
your breakfast, lunch or dinner and
neither is anybody else .. Some of
you seem to think that this is the
case though, so I believe it's time
to set a few things straight.
As the situation has been
brought up already, I'll start in the
dining hall itself. I work in the
cafeteria and sure, I get paid to
work, but it's not my job, or
anyone else's for that matter to
pick up after you lazy people who
can't lift a plastic tray and carry it
all that way to the dishroom win-
dow. Nor should it be
my
place to
make sure nothing is stolen. Let's
be mature about this already. Or
better yet, let's .talk about
Of course, the above paragraph
makes the assumption that it is ac-
tually possible to cross Route 9 in
less than one semester, something
we all know is an impossible feat,
at least in one shot. The normal
trek across the nerve-wracking

is
done on the installment plan. First
you must wait patiently on one side
of the road as passing motorists
redecorate your clothes in early
slush, watching them slow down

F o reign policy: Land of confusion
by Russell· Gerroir
Do you understand U.S. foreign
policy? I don't.
One week we're an untouchable
superpower sitting high and mighty
dictating to the world our foreign
policy. The next week we're on our
knees and an administration's
reputation is destroyed.
I guess it doesn't matter that I
understand
as
long as the policy is
good for the country -
but is it'?
Who decided that arms should
be traded for hostages? Who
should be held accountable? Is it •
possible that Lt. Col. Oliver North
could pull off a deal like that on his
own? There are so many questions
to
be answered
before
I
"understand."
The only thing I'm sure of is I
don't like the way things turned •
out. How
can
anyone say one per-
son is worth "X-number" of
weapons? Once you've determined
how many guns a person is worth,
it is only a matter of time before
we place a dollar value on life.
The country has been left wide-
open to terrorists again. Anyone or
any group thinking of taking
Americans hostage is bound to be
encouraged by the success of
others.
Butwhat constitutes success for
a terrorist? The most obvious suc-
cess to him is concession to his
demands. I believe there are other
forms of success as well; television
exposure at noon, 6 and 11, not to
mention front-page newspaper
coverage.
All of which reinforces a feeling
of vulnerability at a time when we
Interning. at the soaps
by Tony Lippera •
On Dec. 26, 1986, Joanne
Tourneur and Stu Bergman waved
goodbye to the television audience
that had followed "Search F<lr
Tomorrow" for more than
35
years.
This was the last time that Mary
Stuart and Larry Haines would
play the roles that had made them
familiar faces to millions of viewers
across America.
After 9030
episodes, the serial had run its
course.
takes its toll on morale. Buri' was
given the unique opportunity of
working on this long-running show
through the final taping day.
"Search For Tomorrow" began
in September, 1951, as a black and
white, 15-minute daytime serial. It
went on live everyday at 12:30
p.m., sink or swim. There are
several funny stories that Mary
would recall from time to time
about these days before videotape.
One time she was in California and
the plane .was late getting in.
Rehearsing her lines as the cab
picked her up from the airport, she
arrived seconds at the studio at
12:29 for the 12:30 show.
_
shown at midnight on U.S.A.
Network.
"Search" was an invaluable ex-
perience for me. The show taught
me things I could have never learn-
ed at Marist. I strongly urge every
student to take full advantage of
the internship program. If you're
not happy with the internships
Marist can get for you, send your
resume and cover letter to the
business yourself. I got both my in-
ternships on my own.
I am currently working on
"Guiding Light" part time. My
goal is to get a job on a television
show and eventually write scripts.
"Soaps" are one of the easier ways
to get into the business, but they
are by no means easy. More and
more respect is being given this in-
dustry that has been put down for
so long.
should be at our strongest. We cer-
tainly shouldn't be wavering from
policy"
to policy. In sending arms in
exchange for hostages we were ad-
mitting defeat.
Unfortunately, everything just
mentioned is water under the
bridge at this point. As much as
one might like, none of it can be
changed now.
So what we have to do now is
move forward. The only way I can
see the country recovering is by set-
ting a strong "no deals with ter- •
rorists" policy.
I realize this is not easy-we're
dealing with lives and families. I
just don't see the justification for
leaving the county open to terrorist
actions.
That seems like a cold and
callous statement, but who ever
said terrorists were loving, caring
people?
How will the nation respond to
terrorism in the future? That I
would ·not even venture to guess
on. But I will go so far as to say

When I began my full-credit in-

Another time, the show had been

'I do not talk funny!'
·In defense of 'Islanders'
by Diane Pomilla
"Didya tawk to ya sistah yester-
day?" I heard a voice behind me
ask as I sat in the Computer Center
typing a memo to my friend.
I cringed and turned around. A
tall blond girl with hair piled up
about six inches on her head stood
behind me. Next to her was an
equally attractive creature dressed
in black stirrup pants and a baggy
sweatshirt.
"Nab," replied the other girl,
snapping the huge wad of chewing
gum she was chewing. "I hada do
my papah."
With that, the girls walked away
discussing plans for the upcoming
weekend. They were going home to
Long Island
to visit their parents.
Some fellow students (obvious-
ly not from Long Island), laughed -
as the girls left. Another slur
against where I live, I thought.
Far be it for me to-stir up con-
troversy; everyone knows I don't
instigate .. But, I think the time has
come for someone to stand up for
Long Island and tell the rest of you
- the other 2 percent of Marist -
the truth and misconceptions about
the place I've called home for 18
years.
First of all, contrary to popular
belief, not everyone's father works
for Grumman. And, further still,
we have other industries besides
defense. (All right, so my father,
· brother, and several best friends
work for a defense company.,.-
that's irrelevant).
We do have other professions
there to pursue besides missile con-
struction and bomb building. Like
other places, we.have our doctors,
lawyers, postal employees and
plumbers. And not all of them
vacation in the Hamptons in the
summer, either.
As for summer, not every Long
Islander heads for the beach with
his Hawaiian print shirt and bottle
of suntan lotion. Some of us don't
like the beach.
Okay, I've covered the defense
industry and the beach - what else
can be said for Long Island and it's
wonderful people'?
How about some Long Island
trivia? Did you know:
-Not
every Long Island girl
uses half a can of mousse/hair
spray a day?
-
Not every Long Islander
drives a Camaro or. Corvette?
- Long Island girls worry about
more serious subjects than whether
their earrings match their sweaters?
But, seriously folks, I realize this
might be too much to handle. I can
see you now -
all you Connec-
ticut; New Jersey and local folk
saying: "You mean there is actually
life after the beach and the mall on
Long Island?"
The answer is "yes." And if this
isn't too much of a shock for you,
allow me to let you in on a secret:
Long Islanders generally know how
to speak properly. Occasionally,
while I'm home on the streets of
Bayshore (not Bayshaw), I'll hear
someone say "I tawked to him,"
or "I went wit him." This doesn't
happen too often, however.
The letter "r" is part of our
vocabulary, by the way. And, un-
til I started attending school at
Marist, I never heard anyone say
"Lawng Island." But when I do,
it's usually some townie or some
out-of-stater making fun of the
way we Islanders speak.
So, next time you meet someone
who •"tawks" funny, or dresses
trendy
or
"tacky,"
don't
automatically assume he or she is
from Long Island. Not everyone at
Marist is from Nassau or Suffolk
County. We had to leave someone
there to man the defense plants and
the beaches.
And, don't ask me which shore
I'm from. Asking a Long Islander
that is almost as rude as asking a
resident of New Jt!rsey, "What
exit?"

something different: I was sick of

considered doing a St. Patrick's

spread the luck of the Irish with a
bottle of green food coloring -
green beer, green bagels, green hair
green everything ...
It had potential until Saturday
rolled around and the first hints of
warm weather were in the air.

but to write about things to look
forward to as the gloriously warm
weather pervades the Northeast
(with a special dedication to all of
the poor souls, myself included,
who will not spend Spring Break in
the warmth of a tropical sun).
First of all, and probably most
obvious, there's our very own piece
of the Hudson River. You might
take it for granted by now, but
won't it be great when you can run
down to the river with a blanket,
radio and that textbook you just
haven't gotten around to reading
yet? Don't fool yourself, you still
won't read it, but it least you'll feel
somewhat better for bringing it
along. Face it, we're lucky. There
aren't· that many schools in the
country that can boast about being
on the banks of a river like we can.
But, if you tire of the Marist

and
about
view of the river, why don't you try
either heading north to the Vander-
bilt mansion or south to Bowdoin
Park. Both places have great views
of the Hudson and you can make
a day of it if you bring lunch and
a good novel.
Now is also a good time to dig
into the back of .>7our closet and
pull out your baseball mitt, foot-
ball, and frisbee. The time is almost

here to run outside and start toss-
ing things around. There's nothing
better on a warm afternoon than
seeing about SO people in various
forms of athletic activity outside of
Champagnat.

Met victory hangovers (not to be
confused with the Giants' celebra-
tion), but spring training is already
underway. Before you know it,
we'll all be in our favorite
hometeam's stadium eating hot-
dogs and being rowdy.
What about a roadtrip? There's
no better way to celebrate spring
than by taking off for a weekend.
Make
that trip to wherever you've
always wanted to go .... But, if you
need a few ideas, how about
Boston? It's a great city and it
always seems to come alive in the
spring. And New York City is great
too, especially once the street per-
formers return to their favorite cor-
ners. And if you're feeling adven-
turous, cross the border and give
Montreal a try ... or Washington,
D.C ... or Philadelphia
...
there's no
end to the things you can do when
spring gets here.
Singer searches for his big-time break
by Diane Pasquaretta
Many of us just dream of star-
dom, but John "Lupo" Luposello
is trying to reach for it.
The senior marketing major
from Wappingers Falls began "doo
wapping" in Westchester train tun-
nels at 13, has won talent shows,
appeared in area clubs, and per-
•
formed at Marist's Feb. 12 "Love
Concert."
The possibility of his opening an
April
25 show at the Mid-Hudson
Civic Center would give
.him
the
br~ak he net!ds to get started on.his
way to stardom.
WJJB-FM (98 FAME) and
Cerarnar Prcductions of Manhat-
tan are co-producing the show
which will feature popular per-
formers from the 1950s, including
The Drifters, Little Andrew and
Roberta and the Del Rons.
•
Luposello has submitted a per-
formance resume, consisting of
photographs and a demonstration
tape, to Harry Gregor, general
manager of 98 Fame, and is cur-
rently waiting to hear if he will be
given the big break he's always
dreamed of.
Luposello is confident of his
singing ability and says he wants
this chance to see if he is
overestimating his talent.
His singing history indicates that
he may not be.
He has won talent shows at the
Picaroon Pub of New Windsor and
the Big M Ranch in New Paltz, and
has performed at Loughran's in
Salisbury Mills, Harrison's Night
Club and Shannon's Pub, both in
Newburgh, The Class of '57
Nightclub in Middletown, Harry
T's Pub in Wappingers, and the
Ocean Deck Beach Club in
Daytona Beach, Florida.
He is a dramatic performer as
well, having appeared in the Coun-
ty Players Theater of Wappingers'
production of Bye Bye Birdie.
Luposello says he started playing
the guitar about a year ago because
he was displeased with guitar
players who could not accompany
him to his satisfaction.
Luposello now
sings,
and either
accompanies himself or is accom-
panied by a house band, in tribute
to his favorite musicians: Elvis
Presley, Eddie Cochran, Gene Vin-
cent, and Ricky Nelson.
He currently has a 20-minute
routine which, given the chance, he
will perform at the Civic Center.
After graduating in May, he
plans to devote his time and energy
to a career in entertainment and
hopes to increase his routine to for-
ty minutes.
Although the success or failure
of Luposello's career is unknown,
one thing is for certain, he has a
dream and he's trying hard
tO
realize it.
"Today I'm a college student;
who knows -
someday I may be
a big entertainer."

Influenza is a viral disease
characterized by low fever, produc-
tive cough, headache and chest
congestion. It begins 48 hours after
exposure to a flu victim. Direct ex-
posure is the most common way to
catch it. However, using flu-
contaminated objects, such as a
telephone or glassware, can also
transmit the virus.
For the frrst three days the symp-
toms will be most intense. The pa-
tient will feel tired, achy and
feverish. At this point, you feel like
a truck hit you, so you trudge
through the 10 feet of snow to the
Personal Development Center to
see the nurse. After waiting ump-
teen hours to be seen, all she says
is rest, Tylenol and extra· fluids
(non-alcholic ones, kids!).
The resting part sounds sensible
and the Tylenol is for the fever and
aches, but extra fluids? Well, you
need them to replace the fluids your
body sacrifices to fever. They also
help loosen respiratory secretions,
making
your
cough
more
productive.
Antibiotics won't cure the flu
since it is a viral disease. The best
thing modern medicine can do is·
treat the symptoms. Therefore,
cough syrup, Tylenol and a
decongestant are often perscribed
to ease the suffering.
To say there is no cure for the flu
is not to say that professional
medical evaluation shouldn't be
sought. The flu, if not evaluated
and treated properly, could lead to
more serious diseases.
Secondary viral or bacterial
pneumonia, bronchitis or sinus in-
fections are often complications of
improperly treated flu patients.
Therefore, a trip to the nurse is
necessary.
If cared for properly, in about
five days the initial flu symptoms
will be replaced with a dry cough,
a sore throat and a congested nose.
These symptoms will disappear
within two weeks, but a person
may feel tired and weak for as long
as a month after the first signs of
the flu.

European
and
American
designers are once again getting
ready for their fall collections.
With this being their largest collec-
tions of the year, we will be as-
tounded by their creativity.
Already in "Women's Wear
Daily," a fashion trade newspaper,
we are seeing advanced previews
from Milan, with softness and
femininity as key elements for the
season.
When the collections are shown,
the stage will be set and the music
will be playing as the models walk
''F''
out gracefully. The. whole at-
mosphere will be relaxed and look
as though it took an hour to
prepare, when in actuality it took
months of hard work.
No one knows the amount of
hard work that a fashion show en-
tails better than the Marist fashion
students who are preparing for
their spring fashion show.
So, here's a behind-the-scenes
look at all the work involved in
putting on a fashion show. So,
when you see the final product, you
can really appreciate the efforts of
the people that made it all possible.
The fashion show is broken
down into committees, each work-
ing diligently to make this year's
show the best ever. Producer,
Susan Hawkins, Assistant Pro-
ducer, Karen Somma, Director
Debbie Finch and Assistant Direc-
tor Jessica Panduro oversee the
committee heads and make sure the
show is running smoothly.
In order for the show to be a suc-
cess, everyone in every committee
must work together and collaborate
ideas for the best show possible.
For example, the budget com-
mittee is responsible for making
sure that all expenditures are
recorded and stay within the
allocations.
Advertising/Public Relations is
responsible for printing up tickets,
posters and programs. This may
sound easy, but creating a logo and
getting businesses and people to
back the project takes a tremen-
dous amount of energy.
Staging/Video enables the show
to come to life by coordinating
props, lighting and sound for an
overall, unified effect.
And, of course, since all eyes are
on the models, the people respon-
sible for hair and makeup, as well
as the dressers, must keep them
looking fresh so they can present
the exquisite clothing.
But it's not all work and no play,
because after the show is over and
the stage is silent, there will be a
fashion show dinner. This is the
perfect setting for all those in-
terested to mingle with the people
who made the show possible.

Fox es hit the road after clinching Metro
by Paul Kelly
Having trouble remembering the
last time the Marist men's basket-
ball team lost a game?
•
Dave Magarity isn't.
He'll remind you of Jan. 20 and
the 52-49 defeat his squad suffered
to Cleveland
State
in the
Meadowlands. Even though the
Red Foxes have won 10 consecutive
games since that Tuesday night in
New Jersey, Magarity remains
wary as the team travels to Western
Pennsylvania to conclude the
regular season against St. Francis,
Pa, Thursday and Robert Morris
Saturday.
"We've beaten these teams
before," said Magarity.
"If
they
beat us, it's an upset. We can't af-
ford that going into the (ECAC
Metro) tournament.
"It's my job not to let that hap-
pen," said Magarity.

Leading the Red Foxes' aqua-
attack was sophomore Rob Fehren-
bach, who set new
school
marks
in
the 50, 100 and 200-yard freestyle
events.
Fehrenbach also swam on two
record-breaking relays for Marist.
In the 400-freestyle relay, he and
freshman Mark Levie, senior Vin-
ny Oliveto and freshman Mike
Petronko combined for a time of
3:21.95.
Marist's 400-medley relay, an-
chored by Fehrenbach, also broke
the school mark with its 3:44.86 ef-
fort. Levie, Oliveto and junior.
Dave Barrett rounded out the four-
some, which placed sixth overall.
In the 100-yard butterfly event,
Oliveto's 53.92 school-record
clocking earned fifth place-the
highest finish of any Marist swim-
mer throughout the three-day
competition.
Barrett was largely responsible
for the squad's success, according
to Coach Larry Vanwagner.
Competing in the weekend's first
event, the 500-yard freestyle, Bar-
rett shaved seven seconds from his
career-best time, thus creating a
psychological advantage for
.
the
squad.
'"That
first swimmer carries the
greatest burden, Van Wagner said.
"From that point on, every swim-
mer had complete confidence in
himself for the entire three days."
Barrett later set Marist marks in
both
the
.
100 and 200-yard
breastroke events.
In the backstroke events, Levie
contributed two. stellar perfor-
mances. His 59.07 finish in the
100-yard event and his 2:10.03
clocking
in the 200-backstroke
established new Marist records.
Tom Albright's divers also fared,
well at Kings Point.
Senior Larry Canonico won the
I-meter event, but fell to Merchant
Marine's Bill Nixon in the 3-meter
event. Fre..hman Todd Prentice
took fifth and third
in
the two·
events, respectively.
Since Jan. 20, it hasn't.
On Saturday at Madison Square
Garden, the Red Foxes def~~ted
Wagner 80-64. Senior guard
ROil
McCants led Marist with 18.
Last Wednesday, before 3,589
fans at the Mccann Center, Marist
edged FDU 91-88 and clinched its
second ECAC Metro regular-
season championship in three
years. Junior center Rik Smits pac-
ed the Red Foxes with 28 points.
At first
·glance,
the Red Foxes'
road trip to the Pittsburgh area
looks insignificant. Marist defeated
Robert Morris 63-52 Jan. 20 and
two days later, trounced St. Fran-
cis, Pa., 75-52.
However,
Magarity
thinks
otherwise.
,
"We have to play one game at
a time," said Magarity. "Our
thoughts are now on St. Francis
and then we'll zero in on Robert
Morris.
"The two wins we can get there
are important," said Magarity.
Another important task
_for
the
Red Foxes is to
'determine

tion for the foul trouble which has
plagued Smits lately;
Magarity sai_d Smits should not.
shoulder all of the blame
.
"Jt's (the foul trouble) got to do
with the way we're playing," said
Magarity. "We're pressing, trapp-
ing and playing an up-tempo game.
He's just helping out."
Improved defensive play from·
Marist's guards will keep Smits
from foul trouble, said Magarity.
"The perimeter players have got to
do a better job against penetra-
tion," said Magarity.

Marist's fans make it a Garden party
Editor's note: Reporter Diane Rossini was
one of the hundreds of Marist fans who
traveled to Madison Square Garden last
Saturday for the Marist-Wagner basketball
game. Here's her account of the day ...
John's-Kansas game which was being played
before the Marist game. I was watching the
first game on television in a local pub called
The Blarney Stone and had a bird's eye view.
Though the Marist game was close a few
times, nothing compared to the excitement
and intensity of the this game. The clock
showed 0:OOwith Kansas shooting two free
throws and winning in the last possible
moment.

"The feeling of the game was a lot dif-
ferent at the Garden then at the McCann
Center," said Mary Ellen Kelly, a senior
from Emerson, N .J. "It seemed a less crowd-
ed and a lot bigger."

The smell of burnt pretzels and the aroma
of steaming hot dogs come to me as I get off
the bus in the City. The Marist basketball
game. was to be played in Madison Square
Garden at 3 p.m. and I was ready to watch.
Eight busloads of Marist fans had left the
parking lot of the Mccann Center at 11 :00
a.m. Excitement and good spirits were flow-
ing freely through the bus as were the Bloody
Mary's, Screwdrivers and Budweisers.
Wendy Pryor, a senior from Levittown,

games at the McCann Center have a lot of
spirit whereas at the Garden, the crowd was
really spread out."

Women's hoop extends losing skein· to six
by MichaelJ. Nolan
The Marist College women's
basketball team lost two non-
conference games last-week, falling
to Colgate 75-63 and Fairfield
77-64.
The Red Foxes' record is 6-18
overall and 4-7 in the ECACMetro
Conference. The team extended its
losing streak to six games.
Marist visited Loyola, Md.,
yesterday,
but. results
were
unavailable at press time.
Last, Wednesday against Col-
gate, Marist played lackluster ball
the first 20 minutes and trailed at
intermission. In the second half,
the Red Foxes could not slice Col-
gate's lead and dropped their final
home game.·
Marist
Head
Coach
Ken
Babineau cited fatigue as a possi-
ble reason for his squad's slow
start,
but said it was not an excuse
for losing. The Colgate contest was
Marist's fourth game in seven
nights.
"We didn't have the mental in-
tensity we needed for the game,"
said. Babineau. "We were going
through the motions and gave up
a lot of uncontested shots."
Five Marist players scored in
double figures. Jennifer O'Neil
paced the Red Foxes with 16
points.
Colgate forward Tracy Davis led·
all scorers with 18.
Against Fairfield Feb. 16, Marist
played theLady Stags to a draw in
•
the first 10 minutes. But in the final
minutes of the first half, Fairfield
pressured Marist out of its offen-
sive sets. The Red Foxes entered the
second half trailing by 17, 43-26.
The team was also hindered by.
the absence of center Sue Lynn,
who missed the game due to the·
flu. Lynn's illness left Marist with
only one six-footer suited up.
"It was an all-around good per-
fonnance," Babineau said. "We
played one. of our better 'games, but
they were just.a better team."

assessment. The Red Foxes shot 52
percent from the floor and 86 per-
cent from the free-throw line, but
Marist managed 10 less shots than
Fairfield.
Jennifer O'Nei1 again led the
Red Foxes in scoring with 18. Point

Fairfield balanced its attack, as
four players scored in double

A
·scrum
with
wire for Nino
by Paul Kelly
When the Marist College rugby
team commenced spring practice a
few weeks ago, Nino Lauriello was
conspicuously absent.
Four wire strands kept him
away.
Thirty minutes into a
·match
at
C.W. Post last Oct. 25, a Post
player carrying the ball was tackl-
ed. The Post rugger tossed the ball
errantly towards a teammate as he
struck the ground.
Lauriello and teammate Andy
·
Farrell converged on the loose ball,
creating what is known in rugby as
a maul, where opponents struggle
for possession.
It was a maul Nino Lauriello
would not soon forget.
"l ran and I looked up and got
somebody's foot, I'm not sure
whose foot, in my jaw," said
Lauriello, a senior.
•
Initially, Lauriello thought the
only lasting effect of the blow
would be an increased dental bill.
"At first I didn't think it was
broken," said Lauriello. "I chip-
ped my molar and spit it out."
As he stood dazed on the
sidelines, Lauriello still was not
.
aware of the severity of his injury.
"I didn't think that it was broken
but I knew it wasn't right," he said.
"l thought I'll be back in there in
a week."
Sixteen weeks later, Lauriello
still stands on the sidelines."'

incurred was not the average shot

Lauriello. "It took a day and one-

In Townhouse C-7, Lauriello's
white Nike rugby cleats hang by

housemates placed them there after
his injury along with his jersey as
a whimsical memorial.
The jersey was removed, but the
cleats still dangle'in the light draft
created by air floating out of the
heat ducts. "Once in a while I'll
look up at it (the cleats) and think
about it, but it's just a continuing
joke," said Lauriello.
However, as the cleats float
aimlessly in the draft, thoughts
about four wire strands remain.
"I'd
like to play,"
said

Kill the ref! How life looks
through the eyes of a zebra
by Chris Barry
There are 24 seconds left in
the game and Marist is leading
•
Fairleigh Dickinson by four
points. With a whistle blowing,
Rik Smits comes
.down
with a
rebound, the ball raised high
above his head.
At the same time, John Cor-
io also has his hands raised.
At that moment, Smits is pro-
bably the most popular person
in the Mccann Center. Corio is
probably the least popular.
John Corio is a referee. He
had just charged Smits with his
fourth personal foul of the
game. When that call was made
in Marist's 91-88 victory over
FDU last week, the ensuing con-
verted free throws by the
Knights cut Marist's lead to
two, 88-86. It was a very tense
situation in the Mccann Center.
Adding to the
intensity,
one
could hear yells from the crowd
of "the ref beats his wife" and
"how'd you get here, on the
FDU bus?" from various spots
of Mccann.
One might think such per-
sonal slander from large hostile
crowds would affect the objec-
tivity of a referee, possibly tur-
ning him against the home team
to seize revenge on the crowd.
"You can't do that," said
Corio, a 19-year officiating
veteran. "Heckling is part of
the game. You learn to black it
out."
Dr.
Ron
Robbins,
a
Poughkeepsie psychologist who
has officiated Marist teams in
the past, said being a referee is
a job. And, like any other job,
it has a structure of checks and
balances.
•
Dr. Robbins said the effects
of stress are sometimes visible in
inexperienced referees. "The
referee applies the rules and
controls the
game,·•
he said.
"At the same time he controls
the crowd."
Ed Batogowski of Simsbury,
Conn., has been
a
referee since
1960. "A well-trained ref acts as
if he is in a glass-enclosed con-
tainer," he said. "You don't
worry about the crowd because
you're involved with the con-
fines of the court."
Corio said players aren't the
only people affected by large
crowds.
"You aciually get up more
with big crowds," Corio said,
"especially when you've played
the game. You know how im-
portant it is to the kids."
Corio, of Garden City Park,
N. Y ., said a referee is there to
make sure both teams get a fair
chance. "Naturally you make
some mistakes,"
he said.
"You're human. But you try to
minimize them.
"It's impossible to have a
perfect game," said Corio.
Batogowski
said, "Only
when debris is thrown must a
crowd be admonished."
Despite referees constant
presence on the court, most
desire invisiblity. "The best
compliment we could get is if
someone came up to us and said
'we didn·t
even
know you were
there',''
said
Corio.
Referees do not beat their
wives. And they don't travel
with the opposing team. They
are professionals.
And
they're
only doing their job.

Lauriello had four thread-like
strands of stainless steel affixed to
his front teeth Monday, Oct'. 25 at
Flushing Hospital. As he· 1aid at
home in Syosset, N. Y., watching
the Mets fill their mouths with
champagne after the World Series,
his mouth was filled with wire,
closed tight.
an
Marist
r your
His constant companion
•
the
week he spent at home was co-
deine. "I pretty much slept that
week off," Lauriello said.
When he returned to Marist,
Lauriello encountered more than
just good wishes from friends.
"It
was
weird because if I talk-
ed to people who didn't know me
th~y knew something was wrong
because
I
was talking through my
teeth," said Lauriello.
Meals were· a struggle. Because
his jaw was anchored shut, all of
his food was pulverized in a blender
and then added to liquid.
"I just used to remember what
it was like to eat and it was really
depressing,"
said Lauriello.
"Everything tasted the same in a
blender."
Six weeks after" the injury,
Lauriello
travelled
again to
Queens. The wires came off.
Life became normal again. No
blenders, no soup, no attempts to
force words through his incisors.
But. there was also no rugby.
"When they (the rugby team)
started running this spring and I
didn't show up was when I finally
said no," said Lauriello. "I would
think too much about getting hurt.
"I was usually pretty careful to
cover up my face during games but
it struck me that I had no control
over it," he said.

Mall plan
•
remains
on track
by Linda Smith
The possible construction of the
Marist Village shopping complex
continues t~ be studied by Marist
officials, according to President
Dennis
Murrav.
.
The board of trustees has ap-
proved the conceptual plan of the
project, but a final determination
has not beea made, according to
Murray.
"If
the project is going to
go .ahead we have to bring the
specifics back to the board of
trustees. The most important fac-
tors being the structure of the ar-
rangement and how it will be
financed," he said.
"No college money will be put
into this project," Murray said.
"The village will probably be a
revenue producer for the college!'
The developers are responsible for
all funding for the project, accor-
ding to Murray.
The college is working with Fin-
nerman and Co., a Poughkeepsie
development firm, in putting
-
the
specific points of the project
together. Presently, the developers
·
have been contacting potential
clients who would rent space within
_the
complex.

'5th of July;
set to open.
this evening
by Jonna Spilbor
Lights~ camera, action.
Well, maybe there won't be a
camera, but there will be plenty of
action when "The 5th of July," a
play written by Lanford Wilson
and· directed by Marist student
!ohn
Roche premieres tonight at
8
m the Campus Center Theater.
The
.
play revolvesaround two
former college roommates from the
sixti~s
,who
reunite 15 years later
despite the totally
different
lifestyles and the Talley family.
Roche, a_senior, said: "I think
it's a play that fits into the student
perspective because of. the topic
and
.subject
matter; disintegration
- of. youthful dreams and the final
realization that you can't run from
yourself."
