Student· nurses
await decision
While the decision regarding the
future of the nursing program is
being reviewed by- the Academic
Affairs Committee, enrollment
projections for next year do not
look promising, according to
James Daly, vice president for ad-
missions and enrollment planning.
The AAC hopes to complete its
review of the program by the begin-
ning of April, and make its recom-
mendation to the faculty for a vote,
according to. Vincent Toscano,.
chairperson
·of
the AAC. However,
the board of trustees will make the
ultimate vote.
"We don't have a strong pull
here for nursing,,; Daly said. "We
have generated 50 applications for
next year."
Of those 50 applications,· Daly
predicted approximately six nurs-
ing students would end up in the
program
•
at Marist next fall.
•
For
nursing at Marist, Daly said, there
is a "yield ratio" of 11 percent.
The yield ratio is 'the percentage
of students who actually choose to
attend Marist upon being accepted.
This ratio is particularly low in the
nursing program, according to Da-
ly, who compared it to the com-
munication arts program, with a
ratio of 40 percent.
After a review of the program
was
completed
by
Marc
vanderHeyden, vice president· for
academic affairs; the senior ad-
ministrators made a recommenda-
tion that the. nursing program be
deleted because of a lack of enroll-
.
ment. There are currently 28 full-
time and 18 part-time students, and
projec~ed enrollment was 100 full-
time students.
In the past two weeks, nursing
students have expressed anger, and
said Barbara Hynes, director of the
nursing program, had not inform-
ed them of the status of the pro-
gram.· Hynes denied the allegation.

An
•
abortion debate, which
became a source of controversy
after it was postponed
last
semester, is scheduled for tonight
at 8:30 in the Theater.
The event will follow the original
schedule and will feature Bill Baird,.

•
advocate, and Lee.
Klimek, right-to-life advocate.
Each speaker will present his
views on the subject. Then, the au-
dience will be invited to participate
in a question and answer session
with the speakers.
Baird, refered to by United Press
International as "the father of the
abortion movement," established
the nation's first birth control and
abortion center on a college cam-
pus at Long Island's Hofstra
University in 1965.
In 1972 he appeared before the
U.S. Supreme Court in "Baird vs.
Eisenstadt," a case that legalized
birth control for single people.
Baird appeared before the U.S.
Supreme Court again in 1979 in
"Baird vs. Bellotti," a case which
reaffirmed teenagers' rights to have
abort_ions without
parental
consent:
Klimek is currently Chairman of
the Board of Directors of the New
York.State Right to Life Commit-
tee,
Inc.· and Chairman of the New
York State Right to Life Political
Action Committee.
•
He is also a-member of the board
of directors of the National Pro-life
Oratorical Organization and the
board of directors of the Broome
County Right to Life Committee,
Inc.
Klimek has written eight articles,
essays and booklets on the right-to-
life subject.
The debate will conclude Abor-
tion Awareness week on campus,
which featured lectures on
.
the
physical, emotional and medical
aspects of

abortion. Featured
speakers for those events included
Ann Bollman, a physician's assis-

Kayiira meets leader
Dr. Andrew Kayiira, reported to
have been released from prison in
Uganda last week, met with Ugan-
dan President Yoweri Museveni
earlier this week, according to Bar- •
hara Lavin, professor of criminal
justice.
Lavin said it is still believed
Kayiira has been released from
prison. However, she said she was
unclear of the terms of his meeting
with Museveni.
Kayiira, who was a professor at
Marist for three years before retur-
ning to his native Uganda, has
spent five months in prison on
charges of treason. •
Kayiira contacted his wife by
phone and said he would meet with
Museveni on Tuesday or Wednes-
day, and would call her after the
meeting, said Lavin.
Early yesterday, Lavin said she
had not yet heard details on the
outcome of the meeting.
Kayiira, on leave from his posi-
tion as a professor of criminal
justice, had returned to

Burke to leave
at semester's end
by Gina Disanza
The UnitedStates must look in
its own backyard in the struggle for
human rights, according to John
·a.
Healey, executive director of
Amnesty International, U.S.A.
"We (Amnesty International)
ask the United States ... to rethink
the death penalty," said Healey to
approximately 75 members of the
Marist community in the Theatre
on Monday evening ..
"As the United States tends to
step up and be the leader of the free
world, can it kill so many people
on one hand and then turn and talk
about freedom and justice to a
world that is demanding freedom
and justice and do so with authen-
ticity and integrity?" asked Healey.
He added, "The one thing the
murderer has in common with the
state on the death penalty is that
they both murder."
Healey claimed the United States
has used discrimination in the
sentencing of capital punishment,
citing that since the legalization of
the death penalty in J977, 92 per-
cent of those executed had killed
whites.
"If, in fact, you kill someone
who is black, you are not likely to
be killed," he said.
He also stated the United Scates
returns refugees to countries such
as El Salvador, Iran and Ethiopia
when the government cannot
guarantee their safety.
Healey, who has held his posi-
tion for six years, also discussed the
role of his organization in the free-
ing of prisoners of conscience -
those ~ho do not participate in or
advocate violence, but are jailed
because of their religious convic-
tions or political beliefs.
Healey said each of the 5,000
branches of Amnesty International
has. adopted a prisoner of cons-
cience. These branches are respon-
sible for asserting constant pressure
on the government and prison of
the victim. Branch representatives
are supposed to meet with embassy
officials, organize letter writing
campaigns, support the prisoner's
family and raise funds,
if
necessary, to help during the
prisoner's captivity. This pressure
is constantly applied until the
prisoner is released.
According to Healey, Amnesty
International has been instrumen-
tal in freeing approximately 25,000
prisoners during its 25 years in
existence.
"We are the 'nobodies' of the
earth worried about the other
'nobodies' of the earth," he said.
"The free must work for the
unfree."
He explained that in certain
situations where prisoners are be-
ing threatened with torture or ex-
ecution, "urgent action" is taken.
In these cases, members are asked
to send cables. telexes and
telegrams lo the prison where the
victim is held.
"In 72 hours. we can create
enough volume to cut down on 50
percent of the torture,"
said
Healey.
Healey also stated that one-third
of the countries in the-world active-
ly practice torture and thousands
are tortured weekly.
He also cited forms of torture
that involved harming children for
information from their parents and
added that most of the victims of
torture are younger thail the
average college student.
"This world that I'm talking
about is your world," he said.-
"because these people are your age
and younger, much younger, in
fact."

Mandatory meeting
set for interns
Communication
internship
meetings will be held on Tuesday,
March 31, and Thursday, April 30,
in the Fireside Lounge from 7 to 9
p.m.
•
These mandatory meetings are
for all interns and those interested
in future internships.
Area supervisors Gary Davis,
public relations director of Central
Hudson, Ron Lyon, program
director of WCZX-FM (98 Fame),
Gloria Phillips, national sales
manager of WEOK/WPDH-F'M,
and Jackie Ring, owner of Ring-
Bolger Advertising Agency in
Beacon, will speak on March 31.
Former Marist interns Gigi Bir-
das, editorial director of WCBS,
and David Shaw, technical director
of. Madison Square Garden, will
speak on April 30.
Members of the student body say.
they are not happy with the plann-
ed changes in the academic
schedule for next semester.
The changes will create more
8: 15 a.m. and 9:50 a.m. classes on·
Fridays. The new policy has been
formed in an effort . to curb
academic and disciplinary pro-
blems caused by ·students who
don't have Friday classes, accor-
ding to administrators.
However, many students foter-
viewed this week said the new
policy will not be effective - and
is unfair.
. "People will still party on Thurs-
day nights and just blow-off their
Friday morning classes instead,"
said sophomore Kevin Melley, of
Baldwin, N.Y.
Marie Davis, a junior and the
assistant residence director of
Champagnat Hall, agreed. "Peo-
ple will still party and either not go
to their Friday classes or go un-
prepared."
Others said the change was an
unfair decision.
"We pay to go here, we should
be able to pick when our classes
are," said Jim Corcoran, a junior,
from Woonsocket, R.I.
Dr. Peg Birmingham, an assis-
tant professor of philosophy,
agreed.
"I think we have reached an un-
fortunate stale where we have a
non- academic environment," she
said. "Yet students are adults and
should be resp~nsible for making
their own schedules."
Terri Tuller, a sophomore from
Beakmantown, N.Y., said, "I
don't think it is fair because
students like me, who live far away,
need the extra day to travel in order
to make going home for the
weekend worth the trip."
Most of the students interview-
ed said they haven't had a problem
in the past with avoiding Fridays
,vhen scheduling their classes.
"Classes are onlv
15
hours a
week, usually, so
it
is· not that much
to arrange into four days," said

Campus bedrooms: Decorators show their flair
by Michael McGarry
Oscar nominees will be given this
month., The Grammy's
were
awarded last week, and the Golden
Globes have already been given.
'Tis the season to dole out the
awards, and not to be outdone by
others, here are The Circle's
awards for the craziest, wealthiest
and strangest dorm rooms on cam-
pus. So, without further adieu, the
. envelopes please.
The "General Electric Award"
for• most appliances in one room
g9es to senior Tony Lippera of
Townhouse B-5. Lippera's upstairs
bedroom is referred to as the
"mansion on the hill" by his
housemates.
Lippera has one color television,
two TV stereos, a dual cassette
deck, a microwave, a word pro-
cessor, an IBM typewriter, a library
of video cassettes, 220 audio casset-
tes, a compact disk and color TV
(the latter two he actually keeps in
the living room). There's also the
oak table, couch and extra mattress
in his room.
•
"Thank God we don't have to
pay the electric bill," said Lippera's
housemate Rick Austin.
The "Molly Ringwald Pretty in
Pink Award"
is being given to
freshmen Patti Smith and Melissa
Roberts of Sheahan 312. Their
room has a pink rug, pink curtains
and even a pink picture frame con-
taining
a
photo of the Mid-Hudson
Bridge, currently not pink.
The two could also give Lippera
a run for his money. They have two
refrigerators, two computers with
a printer, plus a compact disc and
dual cassette recorder. It took a
rented van and two cars to bring all
their stuff to school.
"We haven't gone through a ma-
jor trauma of homesickness, and a
lot of people think it's because are
room is so homey," said Roberts.
"We never have to say, 'Oh, we
should have brought that up.' "
Right now their computers are
• used for papers and school work
but could have an added use soon
if Smith gets good grades. "Patti's
parents won't send us computer
games until Patti gets a 3.0," said
Roberts.
Sophomores Steve Rios and
Geoff Valentino of Champagnat
607 win the "Zebra Award."
Their room has your everyday

sports stars - except they're hung
on black striped sheets that cover
all four walls.
"We did it because it's dif-
ferent," said Rios. "All the other
rooms are painted the same." It
took Rios and Valentino three days
to hang the sheets.
Being different doesn't come
without a price, though. "The
sheets are gonna cost us (fine
money for room damages) because
we have all these nail holes," said
Rios.
Also, a lot of people complain
they get dizzy when walking into
the room, said Rios.
Junior
Pete
Wagner
and
sophomore Frank Lodestro win the
"Studio 54 Award"
for their room,
Gregory 106. It has a siren, a strobe
light, a black light and a fishnet
running across the ceiling with
white, Christmas lights in it. The
room resembles a disco with
everything on.
"We did it to clutter the space
and we wanted to make it relaxing
for the weekend," said Wagner.
Besides the lights, they also have
the American Flag, a Budweiser
tapestry and a tapestry of the rock
group Def Leppard hanging from
the ceiling.
Finally, we have our only dual
award winner. For her collection of
pictures of cows, sophomore Lydia
The "Peter Pan Award" goes to
senior Paul Kelly of Gartland
Commons Apartment G-3 for his
bedroom-wall shrine to the Ed-
monton Oilers hockey team.
"People look at me and say,
'You're 21?' This room looks like
it belongs to a 7-year-old," said
Kelly.
• Dougherty of Champagnat 318 is
given "The Passage To India
Award,"
and for her overall decor
she wins the "Jerry Garcia
Award."
The wall contains collages of
newspaper clippings about the
team, posters of team star Wayne
Gretzky, an Oiler hockey stick and
a Gretzky doll (comes with skates
and stick and can currently be pur-
chased for $2.99, down from
$10.99). In addition to the shrine,
Kelly has three Oiler hats, two T-
shirts and three Oiler jerseys.
Kelly said he has religiously
followed the Oilers since 1982 and
is a fan of their fast skating style.
"If. every league collapsed I
wouldn't care as long as there is
hockey and especially the Oilers,"
he said.
At the end of the semester Kelly
will pack up his shrine and take it
home to Syracuse.
"I
can't live in
a room without it," said Kelly. "I
give my roommate (senior Brian
Gallagher) a lot of credit for put-
ting up with
it."
Dougherty has purple and pink
tapestries with glow-in-the-dark
lights hanging from the ceiling. She
also has throw cushions on the
floor and an American Oriental
rug. On the walls are her posters of
the Grateful Dead, Bob Marley and
Jimi Hendrix. Dougherty admits
she is a "Dead head."
Comfort, she said, was the driv-
ing force behind her decorating
scheme.
"I
really feel at home here, and
it's a good atmosphere," said
Dougherty.
Dougherty said she loves cows.
"Their bodies are so big, and
their legs are so little. They're a real
spiritual animal," said Dougherty.
"I
took care of a cerebral palsy
child and played harmonica for the
cows (at the child's house), and
they all came around to check me
out," said Dougherty.

To go or not to go
~~s
by Julia E. Murray
You did it again, In the hustle
and bustle of everyday life (if you
can call
it
that), you forgot to keep
track of the time. Once again,
you're going to be late for your
11:25, and once again you're fac-
ed with the crucial decision -
to
go or no·t to go.
Admittedly, as any professor will
tell you, attending a class is one of
the five best ways of passing it (and
the only one that's legal). There
are, however, certain things to be
taken into consideration each time
you venture forth to bask in the
glow of knowledge reflecting off of
every pair of glazed eyes.
First of all, do you really want
to leave the comforts of your warm
room or house to travel across the
vast, frozen tundra known as the
campus, bravely plowing through
ice, slush, mud and tour groups, all
for the satisfaction of raising your
hand when the professor calls your
name? Silly question, I know.
Everyone knows we're all here to
learn the secret of the U.S. Postal
Service (neither sleet, nor hail,
nor ... never mind).
Supposing that you do actually
get some kind of a thrill out of be-
ing present when the rol! is called
Tundra
To the Editor:
On Feb. 21, Marist College
sponsored a battle of the bands
contest. I'm sure that many of stu-
dent
body
attended and had an en-
joyable evening. I wish that I could
say the same for myself and the rest
of the members of the band Tun- •
dra. A few hours before we were
scheduled to appear in the contest,
we were called and informed that
we were ineligible to compete. This
decision was made by Mrs. B.
Yeaglin who after making this deci-
sion fled town so as not to be able
to be reached for comment. Ap-
parently, "nobody" could have
over ridden her decision. We were
told that we could not perform at
the contest because we were told
"numerous" times that we are not
allowed to distribute advertisement
flyers on campus. The adver-
tisements contained information
r.bout the band and when they were
going to be performing near by.
The premise that we were told
"numerous" times is ludicrous!!·
We were never told anything to
that nature. Maybe Mrs. Yeaglin
had us confused with her old
nemesis
"FUNHOLE."
Regardless,
I am completely
disgusted at this decision. We did
absolutely nothing wrong, and
should have been permitted to
compete along with our peers. I
was under the impression that
Marist is a liberal arts institution.
If that's the case then why is it that
for the last four years my parents
have been shelling out large sums
of money for "Student Activity
Fees," and the one night that I had
the opportunity to perform among
my peers I am deprived of this
priviledge? We welcome any reply
that the Marist administration may
attempt to offer.

On behalf of Tundra
THE:
CIRCLE:
the other
murray
(we all have our quirks), what
about those times when you are
"unavoidably detained," and can't
quite
make it to class when the pro-
fessor wants you to be (like in the
same semester)? Obviously, tar-
diness will have some effect on
your decision to attend that class
you've been waiting breathlessly
for all weekend.
Picture yourself standing outside
your classroom, listening to the
professor rant at a poor, helpless
student who just handed in a paper
three days late. The professor
works up to his big finish about the
evils of procrastination being the
first step on the road to perdition
(whatever that is), while glaring at
the quaking offender (who is
remarkably tanned for someone
who spent the weekend at death's
door). He pauses for a breath (to
stoke the fire) - and you walk in?
I don't think so.

New schedule
To the Editor:
The last edition of The Circle
contained the comments of Mr.
Amato and other administrators
concerning
the changing
of
sch~duling to increase the number
of Friday class sessions. We were
told that this rriove was beneficial
for a number of reasons. Well,
maybe it is time for the tuition
payer to give his position.
As always, it seems that we have
again encountered another exam-
ple of the narrow, tunnel-visioned
insight on the part of certain frac-
tions of the administration. It may
interest these individuals to know
that for some, the three day
weekend is a way of taking real
. jobs that make it possible to pay
tuition, which pays your salary, to
catch up on academic work, to
maintain family obligations and
yes, to even pursue a personal life.
Forgive us for this human need.
The routine of the five clay class
schedule is rather elementary in its
style of education. We ·are not
young children who have no out-
side obligations. The life of_a col-
lege student is demanding. Unlike
younger students, we are adults
who pay taxes, vote, participate in
selective service, own and operate
cars and have jobs. We have the
undeniable right to be treated as
adults.
If we, as well-focused and
responsible students, who fulfill
our-course requirements, are able
to finish our work in four days,
why demand a fifth?
We do not pay tuition, plus fees
and even housing to make your
"job" easier. Had the administra-
tion quoted in last week's article
been more attentive to the prin-
ciples of economics, they would
discover that the students who
make up the demand, employ
Marist as one of several options for
curs with slightly less frequency
than Halley's comet), did you do
your homework? Did you read for
this class? More importantly, do
you know what this class is? Does
the course title sound familiar to
you (don't worry if you don't
remember what the course is about,
all things come with time)?

cumstances, such as being on time.

mirable feat on the best of days),
there are still other factors to con-
sider (such as the· fact that this col-
umn isn't long enough yet -
at
least in my opinion). Do you want
your professor to take you for
granted? Sure, some people show
up for every class, and on time to
boot, but does the professor notice
them? Does he look pleased (or
even surprised) to see them in their
seats when he begins his lecture?
Of course not.
Reliable, punctual people don't
stand out in a crowd. If you start
- showing up on time for every class
and doing your assignments on
time, you're starting a bad habit
that could last a lifetime. The next
time you get ready to go to a class,
think carefully before you leave the
safety of your room. Do you real-
ly want to go through life as an out-
cast -
branded as respcmsible,
courteous, mature?

5, 1987.:. THE CIRCLE- Page 7
Lahey, Daly reflect on years at Marist
Success outweighs disappointments for Lahey:
• •
Executive Vice President John
Lahey has been named the new
president of Quinnipiac College in
Hamden, Conn. He
will
be leaving
Marist on March 29. In an inter-
view with The Circle last week,
Lahey reflected on his 10 years at
Marist.
by Aline Sullivan
What do you think of as the
highlight of your 10 years at
Marist?
There have been a number, and
I really don't know that I could
single out any one event. But
possibly the
-most
exciting event
would be the very first annual
Lowell Thomas award luncheon in
New York. Working together with
members of the Communication
Arts Advisory Council was very ex-
citing. We also had some major
corporate and foundation leaders
there, but the thing that made it
really exciting was that we had CBS
News coverage of it, which really
gave the whole event an aire of
importance.
There were a lot of. anxious
moments in putting that whole
event together which made it par-
ticularly memorable ... But to see
that whole event develop into what
it is now, and working with the
people at Marist to get the project
off the ground were particular
highlights for me.
What was your greatest disap-
pointment at Marist?
I really have had 10 very en-
joyable years in each position that.
I've had. Maybe I just have a bad
memory for disappointments but
my memories
·or
Marist are really
all good. And I think that I have
achieved iil virtually every one of
those positions, everything that I
wanted to.
Do you have any regrets about
Marist's growth?
No. There are always growing
pains and as you're growing and
you have to deal with a variety of
challenges some negative things do
happen ... But I think, on balance,
the positive things outweigh the
negative things. I think the growth
was very much needed; it has
allowed us to both expand our pro-
grams and
improve
the quality of
our programs. So I think it has
been very helpful to the students.
What would you say was your
most significant accomplishment at
Marist?
The Lowell Thomas project, as
a·whole, means a great deal to me
because it was. never just a fund
raising project to raise funds, but
rather an attempt to provide our
students and our faculty with the
premier academic building -
an
academic
equivalent
of the
McCann Center. The whole time
that I was raising money for it, I
always had in mind the purpose
which really helped keep things
moving.
Since 1985, you have been Ex-
ecutive Vice President at Marist.
Did this position fulfill your
expectations?
It did. I suppose that I did not
complete everything that I wanted
to, but I think to do so l would pro-
bably have to stay here another
year, at least. But I think I com-
pleted everything that l could have
in two years. I am very happy with
that.
Part of my job was to allow the
president to be more of an exter-
nal person, and have someone who
can direct their full attentions on
the internal aspects of the institu-
tion. One of the major things I did,
which will serve Marist for many,
many years after I am gone, was
the hiring of two very important
people; the academic vice president
and the vice president for informa-
tion services. Both are outstanding
individuals, who will serve the in-
stitution very, very well.
What expectations do you have
at Quinnipiac College?
In the immediate future, I need
to get over there and learn more
about the institution and its people.
What I would like to do, is to help
shape a strategic plan for the next
Lahey
IO years; to highlight the priorities
and the needs of the institution.
To work with the faculty, ad-
ministration,
students, alumni,
board members, and community
people, and really rally all those in-
dividuals around a plan. It's not
going to be John Lahey's plan but
it is going to be done at my or-
chestration and leadership. Once
we have that, then we not only will
.be
able to direct the forces proper-
ly at the institution, in terms of
faculty and administrators and so
on, but also that I would be able
to go externally -
whether it is in
fund raising or just to the general
public or media - to get_the name
of Quinnipiac better known than it
currently is.
How would you like to be
remembered at Marist?
The best way would be someone
who was here for a good period of
time, and during that time he im-
proved the academic environment
of the institution. Everything from
the quality of our classrooms and
buildings to the quality of our pro-
grams and services that we provide
our students so that hopefully now,
Marist is a better place for students
to learn and for faculty to teach
than before I came here.
lt
is as
simple as that.

There hasn't been, for the last
few years, the attention paid to the
individual student as a client - not
as a customer, because a customer
is always right, but a client gets
professional advice.
But what about the complaints
that students today are viewed by
admissions directors as customers
and that colleges are marketed as
products?
•
If the rap on admissions is that
we sell the "fluff" and not the real
stuff, I would say that the admis-
sions office accurately reflects
a school that's coming into its own.
And we're probably going to deny
admission to more students this
year than applied my first year.
When I came to Marist, Marist
was sort of like the Groucho Marx
joke: "I couldn't respect a college
that would accept
me as a
member."
Now I think that
students have expectations for the
school because they have expecta-
tions for themselves.
l
think Den-
nis Murray had a major role in
that. There are very few admissions
directors who report to the presi-
dent of the college. What Dennis
Murray did is ensure the financial
survival of the institution, and he's

El Salvador has also been a reci-
pient of United States military aid.
In that country the United States
supports the present government
against Communist takeover,
whereas in Nicaragua, United

regime there-. There is a better
reason to be concerned, though.

America. The plight of the people
warrants our concern apart from
the fact that our own nation is

We also realize, however, that
the story in Central America is far
too complex to summarize in a few
brief sentences, and our concern
should reach beyond ignoring our
government's involvement there
just because it is too complicated
for us to quickly grasp.
What should be considered are
the social implications of the war-
fare, poverty, and political in-
stability in Central America. We
can make these generalizations
about the problem but more
knowledge is necessary to hold a
genuine understanding.
For this reason,

us cross every day to get ·over to

Ids the responsibility of Marist

for reasons not to build a walkway
over Route 9; it's too expensive,
students won't use it, Marist East
is only being rented out and may
not be used in a few years
etc ... Maybe a walkway isn't the
only answer. It is not the respon-
sibility of me or any other student
to come up with a solution to this

I hope that some positive feedback

Where? The JamesS Mccann
Recreation Center.
The Thomas Center is the first
of its kind on campus, but the plan-
ning and promise of the building
could be compared to the McCann
Center, which officially opened
April 3, 1977.
Until 1977, the old gym, located
where Marian Hall now stands,
was the mecca of all athletic activi-
ty at Marist.
However, its "shoebox" dimen-
sions did not permit much activity.
The basketball team did not have
a home court and games were
played at Lourdes High School.
The pool, located at the current
Thomas Center site, was a huge
fresh-water
pond fed • by an
underground spring.
James Daly, vice president of
Admissions and Enrollment Plan-
ning and a 1971 Marist graduate,
recalled the genesis of McCann.
"When I was going for my Marist
admission interview on October of
1967, I specifically remember the
planning of a recreational facility,"
said Daly.
'There is a certain
amount of pride when
ref erring to the Mc-
Cann Center.'
William
Anderson,
ad-
ministrative systems specialist,
graduated from Marist in l 972. He
said Mccann plans originated in
1969.
"When I was a sophomore or
possibly a junior, Bro. Linus Foy,
the president of Marist then, an-
nounced his plans to campaign for
a new recreational facility," said
Anderson.
Howard Goldman, chairman of
the Physical Education program
and head soccer coach, has taught

at Marist since 1963. He was heavi-
ly involved with the planning,
design and construction of the
Mccann Center.
"McCann took long to come,"
said Goldman. "In 1964, we have
a picture of a proposed building."
The actual construction of the
facility only took one and one-half
years.
Goldman said he was so over-
whelmed when plans for McCann
were finally approved that tears
came to his eyes. "The combina-
tion of relief and gratification, and
the pleasure of something of value
for the Marist students was how I
felt," said Goldman.
Goldman isn't the only Marist
administrator who is inspired by
Mccann.
"There is a certain
amount of pride when referring to
the Mccann Center," said Ander-
son. "I hope that the students ap-
preciate what they have."

Rudy becomes newest star
by
Michael McGarry
No matter how you size it up, standing next to
Rudy Bourgarel is at the least intimidating and at
the most a bit scary.
Marist's sophomore center is 7 feet tall with a
body that defines the word athlete. Bourgarel is
starting to fulfill his physical potential, and he's
playing an important role in Marist's drive toward
a second consecutive NCAA tournament bid.
. However, it hasn't been easy for the native of
Abymes, Guadelope.
.
Early in the 1985-86 season, Bourgarel entered
Marist'sgame against St.. John's at Alumni Hall in
Queens. He launched a line drive hook shot from
the foul li'ne which clanged off the rim. .
•
The jeers, characteristic of Bourgarel's first
season, began.
"Hey, Marist; what's your major, masonry?"
screamed a St. John's fan. Bourgarel committed
two fouls and returned quickly to the bench, a spot
he became accustomed to last year. His seasonal
statistics showed a paltry 2.0 points and 1.6 re-
bounds per game.
This year has been different. Bourgai-el is
threatening to expand Marist's ."Twin Towers,"

Miroslav Pecarski, into a triumverate.

pefonnance
of his young college career for the big time -
Marist's win against Wagner Feb. 21 in Madison

Square Garden.
Filling in for the foul-plagued Smits, Bourgarel
•• played 23 minutes, scored 12 points, grabbed eight
rebounds and blocked one shot. "I didn't try and
do too. much by myself against Wagner," said
Bourgarel. "I didn't make any mistakes."
Bourgarel attributed his improved play to in-
creased attention to the details of the game. "I've
mostly improved in doing the little but important
things,- like posting up and boxing out," said
Bourgarel. Improvement has also come from wat-
ching and playing against Smits, said Boutgarel.
Bourgarel's biggest problem on the court is his
desire to try and do too much, which causes him
to comm\t fouls and force some passes and shots.
"You come into the game, and you try and turn
everything on, and you end up blowing things up,"
said Bourgarel. "You've got to keep your head."
. Because of his improved play, Bourgarel has
become a fan and media favorite. Students greet
his appearances into games by singing "Rudy,·
Rudy" to the tune of" Louie, Louie." He has been
the subject of newspaper articles and was interview-
ed by ESPN after the Wagner game.
•
"It's nice to have people support' you, but it
doesn't make me crazy," said Bourgarel. "l kndw
I still have to work."
This is Bourgarel's fifth year of playing basket-
ball. Before he picked up a basketball, Bourgarel
may have been the world's tallest socctr
defenseman. "I really wasn't interested in playing
(basketball)," said Bourgarel. "I went to play a
couple times with my friend, and I am so tall I
realized I could do this."

. Defense and goaltending were
the keys to a respectable end to the
Marist College ice hockey season .
The icemen split two games last
week to finish with an overall
3-17-1 mark.
• Goaltenders Kevin Haggerty and
Greg Whitehead led Marist to a 2-1
win Feb. 24 over the Culinary In-
stitute of America. The Red Foxes
then fell to Pace University the
following night, 6-3, in a match
that was closer than the score
indicated.
Against CIA; sophomore Hag-

Some of Haggerty's play ap-

Whitehead, who replaced him
halfway through the second period .
After allowing a CIA score early in
the final period, "Whitey" almost
singlehandedly preserved Marist's
one-goal lead to give the Red Foxes
their first win in two months.
The rejuvenated Foxes played
two strong periods the next night
at home against Pace. Junior Jon
Blake scored in the second period
and Whitehead made 23 saves as
Marist trailed 2-1 ending the second
period.
However, the Red Foxes were
luckless in the third period.
Whitehead allowed a goal on a
deflected shot and another on a

Student· nurses
await decision
While the decision regarding the
future of the nursing program is
being reviewed by- the Academic
Affairs Committee, enrollment
projections for next year do not
look promising, according to
James Daly, vice president for ad-
missions and enrollment planning.
The AAC hopes to complete its
review of the program by the begin-
ning of April, and make its recom-
mendation to the faculty for a vote,
according to. Vincent Toscano,.
chairperson
·of
the AAC. However,
the board of trustees will make the
ultimate vote.
"We don't have a strong pull
here for nursing,,; Daly said. "We
have generated 50 applications for
next year."
Of those 50 applications,· Daly
predicted approximately six nurs-
ing students would end up in the
program
•
at Marist next fall.
•
For
nursing at Marist, Daly said, there
is a "yield ratio" of 11 percent.
The yield ratio is 'the percentage
of students who actually choose to
attend Marist upon being accepted.
This ratio is particularly low in the
nursing program, according to Da-
ly, who compared it to the com-
munication arts program, with a
ratio of 40 percent.
After a review of the program
was
completed
by
Marc
vanderHeyden, vice president· for
academic affairs; the senior ad-
ministrators made a recommenda-
tion that the. nursing program be
deleted because of a lack of enroll-
.
ment. There are currently 28 full-
time and 18 part-time students, and
projec~ed enrollment was 100 full-
time students.
In the past two weeks, nursing
students have expressed anger, and
said Barbara Hynes, director of the
nursing program, had not inform-
ed them of the status of the pro-
gram.· Hynes denied the allegation.

by
Raeann Favata
An
•
abortion debate, which
became a source of controversy
after it was postponed
last
semester, is scheduled for tonight
at 8:30 in the Theater.
The event will follow the original
schedule and will feature Bill Baird,.
pro-choice
•
advocate, and Lee.
Klimek, right-to-life advocate.
Each speaker will present his
views on the subject. Then, the au-
dience will be invited to participate
in a question and answer session
with the speakers.
Baird, refered to by United Press
International as "the father of the
abortion movement," established
the nation's first birth control and
abortion center on a college cam-
pus at Long Island's Hofstra
University in 1965.
In 1972 he appeared before the
U.S. Supreme Court in "Baird vs.
Eisenstadt," a case that legalized
birth control for single people.
Baird appeared before the U.S.
Supreme Court again in 1979 in
"Baird vs. Bellotti," a case which
reaffirmed teenagers' rights to have
abort_ions without
parental
consent:
Klimek is currently Chairman of
the Board of Directors of the New
York.State Right to Life Commit-
tee,
Inc.· and Chairman of the New
York State Right to Life Political
Action Committee.
•
He is also a-member of the board
of directors of the National Pro-life
Oratorical Organization and the
board of directors of the Broome
County Right to Life Committee,
Inc.
Klimek has written eight articles,
essays and booklets on the right-to-
life subject.
The debate will conclude Abor-
tion Awareness week on campus,
which featured lectures on
.
the
physical, emotional and medical
aspects of
•
abortion. Featured
speakers for those events included
Ann Bollman, a physician's assis-
tant and the Rev. Jim LiSante.

Kayiira meets leader
Dr. Andrew Kayiira, reported to
have been released from prison in
Uganda last week, met with Ugan-
dan President Yoweri Museveni
earlier this week, according to Bar- •
hara Lavin, professor of criminal
justice.
Lavin said it is still believed
Kayiira has been released from
prison. However, she said she was
unclear of the terms of his meeting
with Museveni.
Kayiira, who was a professor at
Marist for three years before retur-
ning to his native Uganda, has
spent five months in prison on
charges of treason. •
Kayiira contacted his wife by
phone and said he would meet with
Museveni on Tuesday or Wednes-
day, and would call her after the
meeting, said Lavin.
Early yesterday, Lavin said she
had not yet heard details on the
outcome of the meeting.
Kayiira, on leave from his posi-
tion as a professor of criminal
justice, had returned to

Burke to leave
at semester's end
by Gina Disanza
The UnitedStates must look in
its own backyard in the struggle for
human rights, according to John
·a.
Healey, executive director of
Amnesty International, U.S.A.
"We (Amnesty International)
ask the United States ... to rethink
the death penalty," said Healey to
approximately 75 members of the
Marist community in the Theatre
on Monday evening ..
"As the United States tends to
step up and be the leader of the free
world, can it kill so many people
on one hand and then turn and talk
about freedom and justice to a
world that is demanding freedom
and justice and do so with authen-
ticity and integrity?" asked Healey.
He added, "The one thing the
murderer has in common with the
state on the death penalty is that
they both murder."
Healey claimed the United States
has used discrimination in the
sentencing of capital punishment,
citing that since the legalization of
the death penalty in J977, 92 per-
cent of those executed had killed
whites.
"If, in fact, you kill someone
who is black, you are not likely to
be killed," he said.
He also stated the United Scates
returns refugees to countries such
as El Salvador, Iran and Ethiopia
when the government cannot
guarantee their safety.
Healey, who has held his posi-
tion for six years, also discussed the
role of his organization in the free-
ing of prisoners of conscience -
those ~ho do not participate in or
advocate violence, but are jailed
because of their religious convic-
tions or political beliefs.
Healey said each of the 5,000
branches of Amnesty International
has. adopted a prisoner of cons-
cience. These branches are respon-
sible for asserting constant pressure
on the government and prison of
the victim. Branch representatives
are supposed to meet with embassy
officials, organize letter writing
campaigns, support the prisoner's
family and raise funds,
if
necessary, to help during the
prisoner's captivity. This pressure
is constantly applied until the
prisoner is released.
According to Healey, Amnesty
International has been instrumen-
tal in freeing approximately 25,000
prisoners during its 25 years in
existence.
"We are the 'nobodies' of the
earth worried about the other
'nobodies' of the earth," he said.
"The free must work for the
unfree."
He explained that in certain
situations where prisoners are be-
ing threatened with torture or ex-
ecution, "urgent action" is taken.
In these cases, members are asked
to send cables. telexes and
telegrams lo the prison where the
victim is held.
"In 72 hours. we can create
enough volume to cut down on 50
percent of the torture,"
said
Healey.
Healey also stated that one-third
of the countries in the-world active-
ly practice torture and thousands
are tortured weekly.
He also cited forms of torture
that involved harming children for
information from their parents and
added that most of the victims of
torture are younger thail the
average college student.
"This world that I'm talking
about is your world," he said.-
"because these people are your age
and younger, much younger, in
fact."

Mandatory meeting
set for interns
Communication
internship
meetings will be held on Tuesday,
March 31, and Thursday, April 30,
in the Fireside Lounge from 7 to 9
p.m.
•
These mandatory meetings are
for all interns and those interested
in future internships.
Area supervisors Gary Davis,
public relations director of Central
Hudson, Ron Lyon, program
director of WCZX-FM (98 Fame),
Gloria Phillips, national sales
manager of WEOK/WPDH-F'M,
and Jackie Ring, owner of Ring-
Bolger Advertising Agency in
Beacon, will speak on March 31.
Former Marist interns Gigi Bir-
das, editorial director of WCBS,
and David Shaw, technical director
of. Madison Square Garden, will
speak on April 30.
Members of the student body say.
they are not happy with the plann-
ed changes in the academic
schedule for next semester.
The changes will create more
8: 15 a.m. and 9:50 a.m. classes on·
Fridays. The new policy has been
formed in an effort . to curb
academic and disciplinary pro-
blems caused by ·students who
don't have Friday classes, accor-
ding to administrators.
However, many students foter-
viewed this week said the new
policy will not be effective - and
is unfair.
. "People will still party on Thurs-
day nights and just blow-off their
Friday morning classes instead,"
said sophomore Kevin Melley, of
Baldwin, N.Y.
Marie Davis, a junior and the
assistant residence director of
Champagnat Hall, agreed. "Peo-
ple will still party and either not go
to their Friday classes or go un-
prepared."
Others said the change was an
unfair decision.
"We pay to go here, we should
be able to pick when our classes
are," said Jim Corcoran, a junior,
from Woonsocket, R.I.
Dr. Peg Birmingham, an assis-
tant professor of philosophy,
agreed.
"I think we have reached an un-
fortunate stale where we have a
non- academic environment," she
said. "Yet students are adults and
should be resp~nsible for making
their own schedules."
Terri Tuller, a sophomore from
Beakmantown, N.Y., said, "I
don't think it is fair because
students like me, who live far away,
need the extra day to travel in order
to make going home for the
weekend worth the trip."
Most of the students interview-
ed said they haven't had a problem
in the past with avoiding Fridays
,vhen scheduling their classes.
"Classes are onlv
15
hours a
week, usually, so

Campus bedrooms: Decorators show their flair
by Michael McGarry
Oscar nominees will be given this
month., The Grammy's
were
awarded last week, and the Golden
Globes have already been given.
'Tis the season to dole out the
awards, and not to be outdone by
others, here are The Circle's
awards for the craziest, wealthiest
and strangest dorm rooms on cam-
pus. So, without further adieu, the
. envelopes please.
The "General Electric Award"
for• most appliances in one room
g9es to senior Tony Lippera of
Townhouse B-5. Lippera's upstairs
bedroom is referred to as the
"mansion on the hill" by his
housemates.
Lippera has one color television,
two TV stereos, a dual cassette
deck, a microwave, a word pro-
cessor, an IBM typewriter, a library
of video cassettes, 220 audio casset-
tes, a compact disk and color TV
(the latter two he actually keeps in
the living room). There's also the
oak table, couch and extra mattress
in his room.
•
"Thank God we don't have to
pay the electric bill," said Lippera's
housemate Rick Austin.
The "Molly Ringwald Pretty in
Pink Award"
is being given to
freshmen Patti Smith and Melissa
Roberts of Sheahan 312. Their
room has a pink rug, pink curtains
and even a pink picture frame con-
taining
a
photo of the Mid-Hudson
Bridge, currently not pink.
The two could also give Lippera
a run for his money. They have two
refrigerators, two computers with
a printer, plus a compact disc and
dual cassette recorder. It took a
rented van and two cars to bring all
their stuff to school.
"We haven't gone through a ma-
jor trauma of homesickness, and a
lot of people think it's because are
room is so homey," said Roberts.
"We never have to say, 'Oh, we
should have brought that up.' "
Right now their computers are
• used for papers and school work
but could have an added use soon
if Smith gets good grades. "Patti's
parents won't send us computer
games until Patti gets a 3.0," said
Roberts.
Sophomores Steve Rios and
Geoff Valentino of Champagnat
607 win the "Zebra Award."

sports stars - except they're hung
on black striped sheets that cover
all four walls.
"We did it because it's dif-
ferent," said Rios. "All the other
rooms are painted the same." It
took Rios and Valentino three days
to hang the sheets.
Being different doesn't come
without a price, though. "The
sheets are gonna cost us (fine
money for room damages) because
we have all these nail holes," said
Rios.
Also, a lot of people complain
they get dizzy when walking into
the room, said Rios.
Junior
Pete
Wagner
and
sophomore Frank Lodestro win the
"Studio 54 Award"
for their room,
Gregory 106. It has a siren, a strobe
light, a black light and a fishnet
running across the ceiling with
white, Christmas lights in it. The
room resembles a disco with
everything on.
"We did it to clutter the space
and we wanted to make it relaxing
for the weekend," said Wagner.
Besides the lights, they also have
the American Flag, a Budweiser
tapestry and a tapestry of the rock
group Def Leppard hanging from
the ceiling.
Finally, we have our only dual
award winner. For her collection of
pictures of cows, sophomore Lydia
The "Peter Pan Award" goes to
senior Paul Kelly of Gartland
Commons Apartment G-3 for his
bedroom-wall shrine to the Ed-
monton Oilers hockey team.
"People look at me and say,
'You're 21?' This room looks like
it belongs to a 7-year-old," said
Kelly.
• Dougherty of Champagnat 318 is
given "The Passage To India
Award,"
and for her overall decor
she wins the "Jerry Garcia
Award."
The wall contains collages of
newspaper clippings about the
team, posters of team star Wayne
Gretzky, an Oiler hockey stick and
a Gretzky doll (comes with skates
and stick and can currently be pur-
chased for $2.99, down from
$10.99). In addition to the shrine,
Kelly has three Oiler hats, two T-
shirts and three Oiler jerseys.
Kelly said he has religiously
followed the Oilers since 1982 and
is a fan of their fast skating style.
"If. every league collapsed I
wouldn't care as long as there is
hockey and especially the Oilers,"
he said.
At the end of the semester Kelly
will pack up his shrine and take it
home to Syracuse.
"I
can't live in
a room without it," said Kelly. "I
give my roommate (senior Brian
Gallagher) a lot of credit for put-
ting up with
it."
Dougherty has purple and pink
tapestries with glow-in-the-dark
lights hanging from the ceiling. She
also has throw cushions on the
floor and an American Oriental
rug. On the walls are her posters of
the Grateful Dead, Bob Marley and
Jimi Hendrix. Dougherty admits
she is a "Dead head."
Comfort, she said, was the driv-
ing force behind her decorating
scheme.
"I
really feel at home here, and
it's a good atmosphere," said
Dougherty.
Dougherty said she loves cows.
"Their bodies are so big, and
their legs are so little. They're a real
spiritual animal," said Dougherty.
"I
took care of a cerebral palsy
child and played harmonica for the
cows (at the child's house), and
they all came around to check me
out," said Dougherty.

To go or not to go
~~s
by Julia E. Murray
You did it again, In the hustle
and bustle of everyday life (if you
can call
it
that), you forgot to keep
track of the time. Once again,
you're going to be late for your
11:25, and once again you're fac-
ed with the crucial decision -
to
go or no·t to go.
Admittedly, as any professor will
tell you, attending a class is one of
the five best ways of passing it (and
the only one that's legal). There
are, however, certain things to be
taken into consideration each time
you venture forth to bask in the
glow of knowledge reflecting off of
every pair of glazed eyes.
First of all, do you really want
to leave the comforts of your warm
room or house to travel across the
vast, frozen tundra known as the
campus, bravely plowing through
ice, slush, mud and tour groups, all
for the satisfaction of raising your
hand when the professor calls your
name? Silly question, I know.
Everyone knows we're all here to
learn the secret of the U.S. Postal
Service (neither sleet, nor hail,
nor ... never mind).
Supposing that you do actually
get some kind of a thrill out of be-
ing present when the rol! is called
Tundra
To the Editor:
On Feb. 21, Marist College
sponsored a battle of the bands
contest. I'm sure that many of stu-
dent
body
attended and had an en-
joyable evening. I wish that I could
say the same for myself and the rest
of the members of the band Tun- •
dra. A few hours before we were
scheduled to appear in the contest,
we were called and informed that
we were ineligible to compete. This
decision was made by Mrs. B.
Yeaglin who after making this deci-
sion fled town so as not to be able
to be reached for comment. Ap-
parently, "nobody" could have
over ridden her decision. We were
told that we could not perform at
the contest because we were told
"numerous" times that we are not
allowed to distribute advertisement
flyers on campus. The adver-
tisements contained information
r.bout the band and when they were
going to be performing near by.
The premise that we were told

Regardless,
I am completely
disgusted at this decision. We did
absolutely nothing wrong, and
should have been permitted to
compete along with our peers. I
was under the impression that
Marist is a liberal arts institution.

New schedule
To the Editor:
The last edition of The Circle
contained the comments of Mr.
Amato and other administrators
concerning
the changing
of
sch~duling to increase the number
of Friday class sessions. We were
told that this rriove was beneficial
for a number of reasons. Well,
maybe it is time for the tuition
payer to give his position.
As always, it seems that we have
again encountered another exam-
ple of the narrow, tunnel-visioned
insight on the part of certain frac-
tions of the administration. It may
interest these individuals to know
that for some, the three day
weekend is a way of taking real
. jobs that make it possible to pay
tuition, which pays your salary, to
catch up on academic work, to
maintain family obligations and
yes, to even pursue a personal life.
Forgive us for this human need.
The routine of the five clay class
schedule is rather elementary in its
style of education. We ·are not
young children who have no out-
side obligations. The life of_a col-
lege student is demanding. Unlike
younger students, we are adults
who pay taxes, vote, participate in
selective service, own and operate
cars and have jobs. We have the
undeniable right to be treated as
adults.
If we, as well-focused and
responsible students, who fulfill
our-course requirements, are able
to finish our work in four days,
why demand a fifth?
We do not pay tuition, plus fees
and even housing to make your
"job" easier. Had the administra-
tion quoted in last week's article
been more attentive to the prin-
ciples of economics, they would
discover that the students who
make up the demand, employ

there are still other factors to con-
sider (such as the· fact that this col-

at
least in my opinion). Do you want
your professor to take you for
granted? Sure, some people show
up for every class, and on time to
boot, but does the professor notice
them? Does he look pleased (or
even surprised) to see them in their
seats when he begins his lecture?
Of course not.

Lahey, Daly reflect on years at Marist
Success outweighs disappointments for Lahey:
• •
Executive Vice President John
Lahey has been named the new
president of Quinnipiac College in
Hamden, Conn. He
will
be leaving
Marist on March 29. In an inter-
view with The Circle last week,
Lahey reflected on his 10 years at
Marist.
by Aline Sullivan
What do you think of as the
highlight of your 10 years at
Marist?
There have been a number, and
I really don't know that I could
single out any one event. But
possibly the
-most
exciting event
would be the very first annual
Lowell Thomas award luncheon in
New York. Working together with
members of the Communication
Arts Advisory Council was very ex-
citing. We also had some major
corporate and foundation leaders
there, but the thing that made it
really exciting was that we had CBS
News coverage of it, which really
gave the whole event an aire of
importance.
There were a lot of. anxious
moments in putting that whole
event together which made it par-
ticularly memorable ... But to see
that whole event develop into what
it is now, and working with the
people at Marist to get the project
off the ground were particular
highlights for me.
What was your greatest disap-
pointment at Marist?
I really have had 10 very en-
joyable years in each position that.
I've had. Maybe I just have a bad
memory for disappointments but
my memories
·or
Marist are really
all good. And I think that I have
achieved iil virtually every one of
those positions, everything that I
wanted to.
Do you have any regrets about
Marist's growth?
No. There are always growing
pains and as you're growing and
you have to deal with a variety of
challenges some negative things do
happen ... But I think, on balance,
the positive things outweigh the
negative things. I think the growth
was very much needed; it has
allowed us to both expand our pro-
grams and
improve
the quality of
our programs. So I think it has
been very helpful to the students.
What would you say was your
most significant accomplishment at
Marist?
The Lowell Thomas project, as
a·whole, means a great deal to me
because it was. never just a fund
raising project to raise funds, but
rather an attempt to provide our
students and our faculty with the
premier academic building -
an
academic
equivalent
of the
McCann Center. The whole time
that I was raising money for it, I
always had in mind the purpose
which really helped keep things
moving.
Since 1985, you have been Ex-
ecutive Vice President at Marist.
Did this position fulfill your
expectations?
It did. I suppose that I did not
complete everything that I wanted
to, but I think to do so l would pro-
bably have to stay here another
year, at least. But I think I com-
pleted everything that l could have
in two years. I am very happy with
that.
Part of my job was to allow the
president to be more of an exter-
nal person, and have someone who
can direct their full attentions on
the internal aspects of the institu-
tion. One of the major things I did,
which will serve Marist for many,
many years after I am gone, was
the hiring of two very important
people; the academic vice president
and the vice president for informa-
tion services. Both are outstanding
individuals, who will serve the in-
stitution very, very well.
What expectations do you have
at Quinnipiac College?
In the immediate future, I need
to get over there and learn more
about the institution and its people.
What I would like to do, is to help
shape a strategic plan for the next
Lahey
IO years; to highlight the priorities
and the needs of the institution.
To work with the faculty, ad-
ministration,
students, alumni,
board members, and community
people, and really rally all those in-
dividuals around a plan. It's not
going to be John Lahey's plan but
it is going to be done at my or-
chestration and leadership. Once
we have that, then we not only will
.be
able to direct the forces proper-
ly at the institution, in terms of
faculty and administrators and so
on, but also that I would be able
to go externally -
whether it is in
fund raising or just to the general
public or media - to get_the name
of Quinnipiac better known than it
currently is.
How would you like to be
remembered at Marist?
The best way would be someone
who was here for a good period of
time, and during that time he im-
proved the academic environment
of the institution. Everything from
the quality of our classrooms and
buildings to the quality of our pro-
grams and services that we provide
our students so that hopefully now,
Marist is a better place for students
to learn and for faculty to teach
than before I came here.
lt
is as
simple as that.

There hasn't been, for the last
few years, the attention paid to the
individual student as a client - not
as a customer, because a customer
is always right, but a client gets
professional advice.
But what about the complaints
that students today are viewed by
admissions directors as customers
and that colleges are marketed as
products?
•
If the rap on admissions is that
we sell the "fluff" and not the real
stuff, I would say that the admis-
sions office accurately reflects
a school that's coming into its own.
And we're probably going to deny
admission to more students this
year than applied my first year.
When I came to Marist, Marist
was sort of like the Groucho Marx
joke: "I couldn't respect a college
that would accept
me as a
member."
Now I think that
students have expectations for the
school because they have expecta-
tions for themselves.
l
think Den-
nis Murray had a major role in
that. There are very few admissions
directors who report to the presi-
dent of the college. What Dennis
Murray did is ensure the financial
survival of the institution, and he's

Nicaragua, through authorized and
sometimes unauthorized methods.
El Salvador has also been a reci-
pient of United States military aid.
In that country the United States
supports the present government
against Communist takeover,
whereas in Nicaragua, United
States aid is going to the Contra
rebels, who oppose the Communist
regime there-. There is a better
reason to be concerned, though.
Fighting affects the everyday
lives or people in these two coun-
tries, but binding poverty plagues
all or the nations or Central
America. The plight of the people
warrants our concern apart from
the fact that our own nation is
directly involved.
It is out of concern for people in
a less fortunate situation elsewhere
that we react with the desire to bet-
ter understand the events in Cen-
tral America. We do know that the
United
States
has
sent"
humanitarian as well as military aid
to Central America, for- which
much has been unaccounted.
We also realize, however, that
the story in Central America is far
too complex to summarize in a few
brief sentences, and our concern
should reach beyond ignoring our
government's involvement there
just because it is too complicated
for us to quickly grasp.
What should be considered are
the social implications of the war-
fare, poverty, and political in-
stability in Central America. We
can make these generalizations
about the problem but more
knowledge is necessary to hold a
genuine understanding.
For this reason,

Ids the responsibility of Marist
College to correct this dangerous

for reasons not to build a walkway

students won't use it, Marist East
is only being rented out and may
not be used in a few years
etc ... Maybe a walkway isn't the
only answer. It is not the respon-

I hope that some positive feedback

surrounds
one as they walk
through the new Lowell Thomas
Communciations Center was ex-
perienced by the Marist communi-
ty ten years ago.
•
Where? The JamesS Mccann
Recreation Center.
The Thomas Center is the first
of its kind on campus, but the plan-
ning and promise of the building
could be compared to the McCann
Center, which officially opened
April 3, 1977.
Until 1977, the old gym, located
where Marian Hall now stands,
was the mecca of all athletic activi-
ty at Marist.
However, its "shoebox" dimen-
sions did not permit much activity.
The basketball team did not have
a home court and games were
played at Lourdes High School.
The pool, located at the current
Thomas Center site, was a huge
fresh-water
pond fed • by an
underground spring.
James Daly, vice president of
Admissions and Enrollment Plan-
ning and a 1971 Marist graduate,
recalled the genesis of McCann.
"When I was going for my Marist
admission interview on October of
1967, I specifically remember the
planning of a recreational facility,"
said Daly.
'There is a certain
amount of pride when
ref erring to the Mc-
Cann Center.'
William
Anderson,
ad-
ministrative systems specialist,
graduated from Marist in l 972. He
said Mccann plans originated in
1969.
"When I was a sophomore or
possibly a junior, Bro. Linus Foy,
the president of Marist then, an-
nounced his plans to campaign for
a new recreational facility," said
Anderson.
Howard Goldman, chairman of
the Physical Education program
and head soccer coach, has taught

at Marist since 1963. He was heavi-
ly involved with the planning,
design and construction of the
Mccann Center.
"McCann took long to come,"
said Goldman. "In 1964, we have
a picture of a proposed building."
The actual construction of the
facility only took one and one-half
years.
Goldman said he was so over-
whelmed when plans for McCann
were finally approved that tears
came to his eyes. "The combina-
tion of relief and gratification, and
the pleasure of something of value
for the Marist students was how I
felt," said Goldman.
Goldman isn't the only Marist
administrator who is inspired by
Mccann.
"There is a certain
amount of pride when referring to
the Mccann Center," said Ander-
son. "I hope that the students ap-
preciate what they have."

No matter how you size it up, standing next to
Rudy Bourgarel is at the least intimidating and at
the most a bit scary.
Marist's sophomore center is 7 feet tall with a
body that defines the word athlete. Bourgarel is
starting to fulfill his physical potential, and he's
playing an important role in Marist's drive toward
a second consecutive NCAA tournament bid.
. However, it hasn't been easy for the native of
Abymes, Guadelope.
.
Early in the 1985-86 season, Bourgarel entered
Marist'sgame against St.. John's at Alumni Hall in
Queens. He launched a line drive hook shot from
the foul li'ne which clanged off the rim. .
•
The jeers, characteristic of Bourgarel's first
season, began.
"Hey, Marist; what's your major, masonry?"
screamed a St. John's fan. Bourgarel committed
two fouls and returned quickly to the bench, a spot
he became accustomed to last year. His seasonal
statistics showed a paltry 2.0 points and 1.6 re-
bounds per game.
This year has been different. Bourgai-el is
threatening to expand Marist's ."Twin Towers,"
junior center Rik Smits and sophomore forward
Miroslav Pecarski, into a triumverate.
Against Monmouth College this season, he
scored two points and blockedone shot in a six-

Fairleigh Dickinson University.
Bourgarel
saved the most impressive
pefonnance
of his young college career for the big time -
Marist's win against Wagner Feb. 21 in Madison
1..
Square Garden.
Filling in for the foul-plagued Smits, Bourgarel
•• played 23 minutes, scored 12 points, grabbed eight
rebounds and blocked one shot. "I didn't try and
do too. much by myself against Wagner," said
Bourgarel. "I didn't make any mistakes."
Bourgarel attributed his improved play to in-
creased attention to the details of the game. "I've
mostly improved in doing the little but important
things,- like posting up and boxing out," said
Bourgarel. Improvement has also come from wat-
ching and playing against Smits, said Boutgarel.
Bourgarel's biggest problem on the court is his
desire to try and do too much, which causes him
to comm\t fouls and force some passes and shots.
"You come into the game, and you try and turn
everything on, and you end up blowing things up,"
said Bourgarel. "You've got to keep your head."
. Because of his improved play, Bourgarel has
become a fan and media favorite. Students greet
his appearances into games by singing "Rudy,·
Rudy" to the tune of" Louie, Louie." He has been
the subject of newspaper articles and was interview-
ed by ESPN after the Wagner game.
•
"It's nice to have people support' you, but it
doesn't make me crazy," said Bourgarel. "l kndw
I still have to work."
This is Bourgarel's fifth year of playing basket-
ball. Before he picked up a basketball, Bourgarel
may have been the world's tallest socctr
defenseman. "I really wasn't interested in playing
(basketball)," said Bourgarel. "I went to play a
couple times with my friend, and I am so tall I
realized I could do this."
Bourgarel
plans to keep practicing
and improv-
ing. "There is no doubt about it -
I have a lot
to learn but that will come with time, and if
I keep
on working," said Bourgarel.

. Defense and goaltending were
the keys to a respectable end to the
Marist College ice hockey season .
The icemen split two games last
week to finish with an overall
3-17-1 mark.
• Goaltenders Kevin Haggerty and
Greg Whitehead led Marist to a 2-1
win Feb. 24 over the Culinary In-
stitute of America. The Red Foxes
then fell to Pace University the
following night, 6-3, in a match
that was closer than the score
indicated.
Against CIA; sophomore Hag-
gerty filled the goal like never
before, playing the first 30 minutes
and allowing no goals. Andy
Giberti and
Mike
Dunn scored
goals to give Marist a 2-0 lead after
two periods. .
Some of Haggerty's play ap-
parent!y rubbed off on junior
Whitehead, who replaced him
halfway through the second period .
After allowing a CIA score early in
the final period, "Whitey" almost
singlehandedly preserved Marist's
one-goal lead to give the Red Foxes
their first win in two months.
The rejuvenated Foxes played
two strong periods the next night
at home against Pace. Junior Jon
Blake scored in the second period
and Whitehead made 23 saves as
Marist trailed 2-1 ending the second
period.
However, the Red Foxes were
luckless in the third period.
Whitehead allowed a goal on a
deflected shot and another on a
Marist defensive mishap. Dean
Kustas, playing his final game at
Marist, scored to narrow Pace's
lead to 5-3, but Maris! could get no

Next season's Marist sextet
should center itself around a core

and captain RickRace, who plays
every position except goaltender.
The team's retufnees should in-

proved last week that they CAN
