Report raises concern about adjunct number
by Bill DeGennaro
The Middle States Association of
Colleges and Schools has reaffirm-
ed Marist's full accreditation, but
expressed concern about the
number of adjunct instructors and
the college's lack of progress in
recruiting minority faculty and
staff.
The association, which reviews
the
college's
accreditation
periodically, commended Marist
for its financial planning,·increas-
ed enrollment, balanced budget, in-
creased revenues and construction
of facilities to accommodate
growth of the college.
It also praised the colleges'pro-
gress in the Core curriculum and
Library's collection of books and
periodicals.
Jn the fall of 1981, Marist
employed 76 full-time faculty and
62 adjunct faculty, according to
Marilyn Poris,' director of institu-
tional research. In the fall of 1986,
the number of full-time faculty
reached 130, while the number of
adjuncts rose to 164, she said.
The ratio of part-time to full-
time at Marist is higher than the
statewide figures for private institu-
tions, according to the state Educa-
tion Department. There were
20,545 full-time faculty and 17,439
part-time faculty at the 111 four-
year and 25 two-year independent
institutions in New York in 1985,
'the most recent statistics available.
According to Time magazine, of
700,000 faculty nationally, 30 per-
cent of professors in some of the
liberal arts are not permanent. The
percentages are lower in other
fields, it was reported.
Academic Vice President Marc
vanderHeyden said the use of ad-
juncts does not necessarily sacrifice
the quality of education. He
pointed out, for instance, that part-
time faculty are used to reduce
course loads of full-time faculty
pursuing administrative p_ositions
and other responsibilities.
·while enrollment has increased
dramatically at Marist in the past
five years, the national trend of hir-
ing more part-timers has been at-
tributed to declines in enrollment
and tightened budgets.
•
vanderHeyden would not deny
that Marist's high number of ad-
juncts - who are paid significant-
ly less than full-timers -
was
related to financial concerns.
"It's
related definitely
to
finances," .he said. "I'm saying by
the time Marist hired more ad-
Ex-hostage to address grads
The Rev. Lawrence Martin Jenco, held hostage
in Beirut for 18 months, will be the keynote speaker
for Commencement on May 23.
Jenco, of Joliet, Ill., was ordained in March of
1959. During his nearly 30 years in the priesthood
he has done extensive work both for the Servites,
a Catholic religious order
dedicated
to
foreign
mis-
sionary services, and for Catholic Relief Services. • •

for Catholic Relief Services in Beirut thaf he was
taken hostage.
Jenco was abducted in West Beirut. on Jan. 8,
1985. He was released almost 19 months later in
the Syrian controlled Bekaa Valley in Eastern
Lebanon, and publicly forgave his captors during
his homecoming ceremonies in Joliet, asking that
other captives in Lebanon not be forgotten.
His return to the United States included a stop
in Rome to meet with Pope John Paul II and in
London to meet with Dr. Robert Runcie, Ar-
chbishop of Canterbury. After meeting with Presi-
dent Reagan and his wife and Secretary of State
George Schultz, he returned to Joliet and has since
devoted his time to working for the release of other
hostages still held in Lebanon.
, "Marist College is honored to have a man of the
Rev. Jenco's stature
as
Commencement speaker.
Marist is concerned with teaching our students
about global issues, encouraging them to look
beyond their doorsteps to ask themselves why
things happen, to examine issues from an ethical
perspective.
"The Rev. Jenco's experience as a hostage in
Beirut for 18 months, as well as his exemplary work
for Catholic Relief Services, makes him an ideal
choice for Commencement speaker,"said Cernera.
In 1969, Jenco was arrested along with other
members of "The Denver 14" -
two priests, a
nun, a minister and 10 laypersons - who entered
the Colorado senate chamber to protest the
legislature's failure to pass 22 bills related to civil
• rights and justice issues.
Former hostage Fr. Lawrence Martin Jenco,
O.S.M. will be keynote speaker at co_mmence-
ment.
He has aided thousands of people through his
missions with Catholic Relief Services in India,
Australia, North Yemen, Thailand and Lebanon.
And while in India, he served. as chaplain of a
hospital for physically and mentally disabled
children.
Jenco was the recipient of the 1986 Mother
Cabrini Award and the thirteenth recipient of the
Capitol Hill First Friday Club's "For God and
Country" Award.
juncts, it was related to containing
costs."
Responding to the accreditation
association's report, vanderHeyden
said he would like to see more full-
time faculty teaching at the college.
"I can set my plans," he said,
. "but I have to get the financial sup-
port to achieve it."
Poris and the Personnel Office
could supply figures on minority
faculty only for two years. This
fall, according to the Personnel Of-
fice, there were three minority full-
time faculty members. Statistics on
the nu(llber of minority adjuncts
were unavailable, they said.
In the fall of 1985, there was one
full-time and six adjunct black
faculty, according to Poris. There
were three full-time and six adjunct
Asian faculty and one full-time and
12 adjunct Hispanic faculty,_ she
said.
Poris said the minority numbers
are as reported to the state Educa-
tion Department in Albany.
In 1985, of the 20,545 full-time
faculty at private schools in New
York, 2.1 percent were black, 1.8
percent were Hispanic, 4.8 percent
were Asian, 89.3 percent were
white and 2.0 percent were listed as
other, according to the Informa-
tion Center on Education.
Of the 17,439 part-time faculty
in New York in 1985, 4.1 percent
were black, 2.3 percent were
Hispanic, 2. 7 percent were Asian,
89.4 percent were white and 1.5
percent were listed as other, they
said.
vanderHeyden said the lack of
minority faculty, staff and students
at Marist will be a difficult problem

. CoUege officials announced that
graduating s~niors will be limited
to three Commencement ceremony
tickets and will be required to
vacate their rooms after their last
final exam this year.
In the past,· Senior Week had
begun immediately after finals.
This year all resident seniors will be
• required to leave no later than
Thursday, May 14, according to
Steve Sansola, director of housing.
Overcrowding at the Commence-
ment ceremony last year became a
major concern after some families
were left stranded in the McCann
lobby, according to Rosemary
Molloy, acting registrar.
Graduating seniors were allow-
ed 10 Commencement tickets last
year, according to Molloy.
"It appeared that entire families
were outside," said Molloy. "It's •
not fair. This year's graduates will
receive a packet of 10 invitations
and three tickets to the ceremony."
Molloy said the invitations are
intended
as graduation
an-
nouncements or souvenirs.
A Commencement crowd of ap-
proximately 3,000 is expected in the
McCann Center. The crowd will be
comprised of 700 graduates, 2, I 00
guests, a maximum of 150 faculty,
invited dignitaries and spouses of
the trustees, Molloy said.
-
Apubiic certificate of assembly,
which was posted in the Mccann
Center before the ECAC Metro
Conference Tournament in March,
indicates the maximum number of -
people allowed to occupy the
building is 4,270.
Molloy said allowing four tickets
per graduate
would
create
overcrowding.
"Four each is too much, and you
can't print three and a half," said
Molloy.
If each student was allowed four
tickets -- which represents an in-
crease of 700 people -
the
Mccann Center could technically
still hold approximately 500 more
people.
Additional space must be made
for the handicapped
section,
photographers and equipment, she
said.

to leave after their last final will

Student's Day canceled during planning
by
Lauren
Arthur
Donna Berger, executive assis-
tant to the academic vice president,
said a variety of reasons led to the
cancellation of Student's Day this
year.
Student's Day, which replaced
Convocation Day for the first time
last year, has been canceled after
problems with scheduling this year
and poor attendance last year, ac-
cording to Berger.
"There wasn't a large enough
turnout
last year to justify
rescheduling the event and cancel
a day of classes," she said.
Berger said the unofficial date of
Student's Day, April 15, was not
chosen because it was the day
before Easter Break, and she felt
students would leave early for
home.
Student's Day did not appear on
the spring calender this year, and
canceling classes might have
disrupted faculty and student class
schedules, Berger said.
Peter Prticnel, student body
president, blames poor planning
for the cancellation. Prucnel said
planning began too late and four
weeks did not leave adequate time
to get a respectable speaker an!,l
plan the event properly.
"Donna (Berger) should have
called us in sooner," said Prucnel.
"I don't think it's right to bag the
idea."
Last year's Student's Day, with
the theme "College, Knowledge,
and Jobs," was attended by ap-
proximately 250 people. There were
22 workshops and two keynote
speakers.
Jeanmarie Magrino, assistant ac-
tivities director, said students need
to get involved if they want to in-
fluence college events.
"If
it's planned well, and
students get speakers and make it
interesting for themselves, they
could really make it fun," said
Magrino.
Berger said an event for students
may still take place, but no definite
plans have been made. One idea
under consideration is an event for
students with an undecided major,
which would offer students infor-
mation and guidance.
The academic vice president's of-
fice is budgeted money to sponsor
Student's Day and is responsible
for holding the event, according to
Magrino . .

P
aSS O Ver
next week
by Keli A. Dougherty
Passover, a holiday celebrated
by Jews all over the world, begins
Monday at sundown.
Passover is celebrated during the
month of Nisan, the first month of
the Jewish calender, on the eve of
the fifteenth day, marking the last
meal the Jews had in Egypt before
setting out for the land that God
had promised them.
On the tenth day of Nisan the
Jewish households were to take for
each house a lamb from their
flocks, and on the evening of the
fourteenth day kill it, and spread
the blood on the door frame of the
dwelling.
Then the lamb had to be roasted
whole and eaten with bitter herbs
and unleavened bread by the peo-
ple. Any flesh of the lamb that was
left the next day had to be burned.
Jews believe on that night an
angel of God swept through Egypt
killing the firstborn children of
Egypt. The angel would "pass
over" those households that had
the lamb's blood upon the door.
During Passover Jewish families
retell the story over a meal in a
. cer~mony known as the Seder,
which means order or procedure.
The Seder has become a central
part of the celebration, fulfilling a
biblical command to retell the
story, providing an important
reason for families to gather and
celebrate the birth of the Jewish
people.
Passover is not only prevalent in
Judaism; it also has a part in the
ritual of mass that is celebrated in
Catholicism. The Last Supper
Jesus had with his disciples was a
Seder meal.
That meal is re-enacted in the
Liturgy of the Eucharist, and some
of the mass prayers come from the
Passover celebration, according to
the Rev. Benedict D' Alessandro
Marist chaplain.
'
Wherever the .Jews are, the wish
is made every year that the next
Passover celebrated will be· in
Jerusalem. "The tradition is to
celebrate
the
Passover
in
Jerusalem," said D' Alessandro.
In the synagogue prayers, psalms
and poetic litanies appropriate to
the celebration are said. They re-
count the meaning of the holiday
and its first observance as writte~
in the Book of Exodus.
The celebration -lasts for seven
days for Reform and Israeli Jews
and eight days for Orthodox and
Conservative Jews.
ed "How to Find
a
Job." The workshop will

Dorm entry
brings arrests
Two Beacon men who forced
their way past an entry officer in
the lobby of Champagnat Hall last
week were arrested after allegedly
sexually abusing a sophomore
woman in the elevator, according
to Roland QuinJan, assistant direc-
tor of safety and security.
James Hampton, accused of
third degree sexual abuse and se-
cond degree criminal trespassing,
and Kenneth Hodges, accused of
second degree criminal trespassing,
were apprehended by Security on
the third floor of Champagnat.
Hodges, who fled from Security
outside of the dorm, was arrested
by Town of Poughkeepsie Police
when he returned to campus look-
ing for Hampton, Quinlan said.
Work continues
on North End
Construction on the North End
of campus is scheduled to be com-
pleted by this September, according
to Lou Greenspan, of Longreen
Construction Company.
The project includes a wall,-two
sets of stairs going to the lower
athletic fields, a basketball court,
two volleyball courts and a gazebo,
to be built just behind the Gartland
Commons apartments, facing the
Hudson River.
The gazebo, which will be con-
structed at the south end of the
wall, will be 20-feet wide, with ben-
ches inside. It was designed by
Stewart Cohen, who also drafted
plans for the Lowell Thomas Com-
munication Center and the new
faculty dining room, according to
Greenspan.
Greenspan said an above ground
drainage system will be added to
the athletic fields in that section of
campus, which are currently used
for intramurals. Longreen Con-
structiori is also building a. two-
floor, 2,400 square foot facility
·near
the fields for:·storagcVoFin-
tramural equipment.

The funding for the construction
is from the McCann Foundation
grant, which will cover all expected
expenses, said Greenspan.
Greenspan said he was confident
the work will be completed by

September.
Summer classes
draw students
Approximately 150 people have
already registered for summer
courses this year, according to
.
Eleanor Charwat, assistant dean of
adult education.
Registration for the summer ses-
sions began on March
2
and will
continue until summer classes
begin. Students may register in the
Adult Education office in Marist
East.
This summer, classes are being
offered during two six-week ses-
sions and two three-week mini ses-
sions. There is also a seven-week
session for graduate students.
The dates for the summer ses-
sions are: session I, May 26 to Ju-
ly
3; session II, July 6 to Aug. 13;
mini session I, June 1 to June 19;
mini session II, June 22 to July 10;
the graduate session, June I to Ju-
ly 17.
•
Last summer, approximately 650
students enrolled in summer classes
at
Marist,
increasing summer
enrollment during 1985 by SO per-
cent, according to Charwat.
"This year we've added more
classes such as fashion design,
chemistry and advertising" said
Charwat. "We're also trying to
make it a fun place for the whole
family; adults can attend classes
while their children go to the sports
camp, the day camp or the com-
puter camp."
Some students
enrolled in
courses last summer said they en-
joyed the experience.
"You got t<> meet a lot of peo-
ple you normally wouldn't have,"

Film fans get a close-up
look
at star
by Annie
Breslin
Well known actor and director
Alan Arkin, who has appeared in
such films as "The In-Laws" and
"The Russians Are Coming,"
shared his personal beliefs and ex-
periences with 200 people during an
open dialogue in the Marist College
Theater, Monday night.
Arkin gave students, faculty and
members of the local community a
part of himself during the one and
a half hour discussion, during
which he revealed what he believes
makes an actor.
"You know you're an actor
when someone comes over and
thanks you because they have been
moved," he said. "Not when
they're impressed and say you're
great, but when you move them."
Arkin said· this task is ac-
complished by chance and that
most often actors don't even know
how they've done it.
"If
you go out on a stage in
order to create emotion, it's going
to be self-fulfilling and dull and
boring." he said. "Emotion comes
out of doing - it's not something
you can create."
Arkin was, in some cases, critical
of his comtemporaries. For exam-
ple, he said Dustin Hoffman was
difficult to direct and Carol
Burnette wasn't yet an actress.
"I
like acrors who are there for
other people," he said. "Hoffman
never quite achieved that."
But he was equally critical of his
own work. When he was asked to
reflect
on
his
greatest
achievements, he replied, "The
things that were good were pretty
good -
the things that were bad
were terrible."
Arkin
described acting as a self-
revealitory process. He said he
learned this during his younger
days while acting in "Second Ci-

Dutchess says 'si' to Mexican food
by Beth-Kathleen McCauley
Ask Antonio Rivas how hot the Mexican food trend is, and he'll
tell you: "hotter than McDonald's."
Rivas should know. As owner La Casita restaurant in Poughkeep-
sie, he's seen the trend heat up during his 10 years in the business.
"More and more people are being encouraged by the Mexican
government to travel there," said Rivas. "When they come home they
want to find a good Mexican restaurant in their neighborhood."
While theories vary as to why Mexican food is in vogue, no one
doubts that it's become a growth market. The Chamber of Commerce
lists some 14 Mexican restaurants in Dutchess County, and more on
the way.
Ronald Peek, owner of Caesar's Italian restaurant in Poughkeep-
sie and the now defunct East Side bar, definitely sees it as a trend.
So much so that he is opening up a new Mexican restaurant in the
East Side building on Raymond A venue.
"It is something he has wanted to do for a long time," said Ginger
Mancuso, manager of Caesar's and spokeswoman for Peek.
The Mexican trend, Mancuso said, started first in the big cities.
"It's taken a while for what happened in the'·cities to make it up here.
I think it's here to stay now," said Mancuso.
Mancuso said the new restaurant, with the very appropriate work-
ing title of Margarita's, will offer both Mexican and American dishes.
Mancuso emphasized, however, that the food will not be Mexican-
American. "The Mexican will be Mexican, and the American will be
American," she said.
The new restaurant will try to help Poughkeepsie caters discern
authentic Mexican food from the often-served Americanized version,
Mancuso said. "People have a lot of misconceptions about Mexican
food," she said. "They think it has to be so hot it has to burn their
eyes. If it doesn't they think tht:y've been gypped."
Bob Little of Hyde Park's Ole Mexico agrees the trend is toward
Mexican-American food, not simply Mexican. "Mexican food has
been popularized by chains like Chi Chi's," said Little. "Mexican's
wouldn't recognize it as truly authentic."
Little said he thinks the chains are simply looking for something
to sell. "The chains are like McDonald's or Burger King. Things like
taco salads, which aren't very authentic, are popular;'' said Little.
People often don't know what authentic Mexican cuisine is, said
Little. "People say our tacos aren't any good. But they are used to
the kind they eat at home out of a package," he said.
Little, who is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, said
they make everything from scratch at Ole Mexico.
Little and a partner recently opened Ole Mexico at what used to
be Old Mexico. "We Were looking to open something a little different,
very informal, where people could eat for not a lot of money," said
Little.
Rivas said he isn't concerned by the Americanizing of the cuisine.
"The food isn't exactly what the peasants in Mexico are eating but
most people wouldn't want to eat that anyway," said Rivas. "You
can't knock success."

show support
for nurses
by
Michael Kinane
Student nurses were pleased
with
the
support shown. to them at last
week's "Nurse Appreciation Day,"
an event sponsored by the Council
of Student Leaders, the Student
Academic Committee and the Stu-
dent Nurses Association.
The event came after the
Academic Affairs Committee
voted 4-1 in favor of recommen-
ding to the faculty that the nursing
program be continued.
The faculty was scheduled
to
meet today at an I 1:30 colloquim,
where they will discuss the recom-
mendation and amend it. Then, at
a date to be announced, the facul-
ty will vote on the refined proposal.
Organizers of _last Thursday's
event expressed gratitude for the
support by students who signed
petitions supporting the conti-
nuance of the program.
"I
was overwhelmed," said
Pat
Deschamps, president of the stu-
Tutor s

"I just can't believe an educa-
tional institution would act like
this," said Annmarie Lezenkn, a
student nurse.
by Michael O'Looney
Something happened Sunday
night in Donnelly 243.
It happened right between two
blackboards,
underneath
the
Periodic Table of the Elements and
was witnessed by more than 50 peo-
ple. The new "Marist Live" talk
show, hosted by sophomore Joe
Bello and senior Karen Chatterton,
made its debut.
The show included interviews
with Charlene Rinne, assistant pro-
fessor of nursing; Brian Colleary,
director of athletics; Marydale
Dolezal, a student intern at
WNBC-TV; and three members
from the cast of "Cinderella" (a
Marist production).
Bello, creator of the show, began
the the segment by giving the au-
dience a quick lesson in how to
applaud.
Once the audience mastered that
technique (it took a few tries), Bello
introduced Charlene Rinne, a
member of the nursing faculty,
who explained the nursing situation
to the studio audience.
Rinne expressed concern and op-
position to the possibility that the
nursing program at Marist may be
terminated. BeUo and Chatterton
voiced their support for Rinne's ef-
forts to defend the nursing
students.
Between guests, as the audience
listened to music, Bello and Chat-
terton rearranged the classroom-
turned studio. The set included two
black swivel chairs, a table, two
coffee mugs and a fern plant which
separated the chairs.
Also, Bello disguised
the
chalkboard with white construction
paper to give it a checkered design.
The next guest was Brian Col-
leary, Marist director of athletics.
Bello began the inteview by asking
"So Brian, just what the hell do
you do anyway?" Colleary and the
crowd roared.
Colleary explained his job
responsiblities, the proposal for a
baseball team at Marist and his
predictinns for the men's basket-

"They're not going to let it die,"
said Gina Disanza, the student
representative to the
AAC,
of the
nurses' fight to keep the program.
"It shows the administration,
faculty and students that the nutses
really care about the program."
Members of the AAC received
information on the nursing pro-
gram situation during the week of
Spring Break.
After the faculty votes on its
recommendation on the future of
the program, the board of trustees
will make the final decision.
Currently, there are 28 full-time
and 18 part-time students enrolled
in the program.

ball team next season.
Colleary said he doubted rumors
that Rik Smits (Marist's 7-foot-3-
inch.star center), would go to the
NBA instead of finishing his senior
year at Marist.
After interviewing Colleary,
Bello asked the audience to come
up with a new name for th,: Marist
library. The crowd favored renam-
ing it "The
Jimmy
Hoffa
Library," saying the books, like
Hoffa, are missing.
Theil, Chatterton interviewed

ly taking a six credit internship \\ith

Three members of the cast of --------------------------,
"Cinderella"
were interviewed
next. The actors described the
special reward of performing for
children who actually believed the
characters were real. The cast also
talked about "Marist Night,"
when they preformed an adult ver-
sion of the play.
Also during the show, Carla
Wallin, a freshman majoring in
psychology, won a pair of tickets
to
see Genesis in concert. Bello said
he used the giveaway in an attempt
to draw a large crowd.
Bello said the turnout left him
with a bittersweet feeling. He hopes
"Marist
Live" will find a follow-
ing and get stronger in the next four
weeks.
"I expected an overflow crowd
with the lure of the chance to win
the Genesis tickets," he said. "I
realize Sunday night has its •
drawbacks, but I had a ball
tonight."
Still, Bello pledged to continue
with the show, regardless of the size
of the crowd. "We've adopted the
motto 'We will survive,' "he said.
Many of those who attended the·
show said they plan to return.
"I
attended to find out more
about the possible deletion of the
nursing program, and the chance to
win the tickets,''
said Maria
Vigorito, a sophomore nursing stu-
dent. "And I'll be back next
week."
MaryAnn Plaia, a sophomore
communication
arts
major, agreed.
"I originally attended for a
chance to win the Genesis tickets,
but I ended up enjoying the show
very much and will definitely be
back next week," said Plaia.
The next "Marist Live" will be
Sunday night at 9.

Figures for minority staff and
faculty and the ratio of full-time to

Five years ago, Middle States'

added 1986 alumnus Chris
Mullen.
While most of the guests
claimed they attended the
ceremony solely to share the
special event with the bride and
groom, there were others with
more original motives.
"I
hope there's as many
good-looking single women at
my wedding someday," said
senior Fred Dever, who lives in
8-5.
And casually leaning against
the bar, which doubled as an
alter for the occasion, Mellitt,
Dever's
roommate
asked,
"Who got married?"
Nevertheless, when all the "I
do's" were said and done, the
black and white decorations
torn down, the Minute Rice
swept away, and the proper
anullment papers drawn up, the
consensus was that marriage -
or at least the celebration of it
Marist style -
was a fun
"affair."
And while it may not have
been the real thing, those in-
volved, especially mother of the
bride Sheila O'Donoghue,
believed it was pretty close.
"It
was a typical Marist relation-
ship," O'Donoghue said. "It
was only 10-hours long."
Working the nightshift with Marist security

night at 11.

McConologue, 50. "Besides, that's

McConologue, or "Uncle Den-

'Cinderella' wins raves
from small-fry critics
by Julia E. Murray
After Cinderella tried on the
glass slipper, she and the prince got
married and lived happily ever
after.
For most of us, the tale of
Cinderella is a familiar one, but for
the majority of the audience at last
Friday afternoon's performance of
"Cinderella," it was brand new.
Marist
College Children's
Theater annually plays host to
children from numerous nursery
and elementary schools in the are.a.
Last Friday the audience consisted
of five and six-year-olds, with very
definite opinions about the play
and its characters.

"I don't like the girl with the

Amy Kinateder referring to one of

Kathy Turner. "She's mean."

year-old Kristin ~hapman. Chap-
man added that the prince, played
that day by Fabrice Cuadrado, was
"pretty" a:s well.
Favorite scenes in the play dif-
fered greatly from child to child.
Six-year-old Jennifer Anderson
said she particularly liked the
ballroom scene. But Jason Barker,
also six, preferred the sight of
Cinderella's step-mother, por-
trayed by Natalie O'Connell
that
day, trying in vain to prove the
glass slipper belonged to her.
"She looked funny when she got
mad," said Barker.
Though the children seemed to
enjoy the happy ending, itwas far
from a surprise. As early as the end
of the second act, five-year-old Kel-
ly Nolan predicted the outcome of
the play.
•
"I think they're going to try the
shoe on the step-sisters, but it
won't fit. Then the prince will
marry Cinderella," she said.
As certain as the audience was of
the play's outcome, there was no
shortage of little girls willing to file
up on stage and try on the glass
slipper, on the off-chance that they
might catch a prince.
"1 think he's cute," explained
Nolan.

President Dennis Murray made the decision to hold Commence-
ment ceremonies inside the Mccann Center again this year. In-
side -
where seating is limited and the temperature stifling.
Ultimately, he also made the decision to limit each senior three
Commencement tickets this year. Murray made the decision after
some parents - stuck in the lobby of McCann and unable to view
Commencement last year -
complained.
Have students had ample input in these decisions? Are parents,
who have paid $40,000 in tuition and fees, taking this in stride?
Graduating from college is a significant achievement -
it is
a landmark in our lives. Obtaining a bachelor's degree is
'
something we would want our entire family to witness. The ad-
ministration should have more regard for this occasion.
It was suggested to the academic vice president, who upon ar-
riving at Marist professed his desire to bring a little class and style
to the institution, that Commencement be held outside this year.
Outside -
in a more traditional atmosphere -
where seating
would be virtually unlimited.
It was suggested to subcontract the outdoor ceremony and have
the usual Marist Commencement staff prepare for an inside
ceremony in case of rain. Surely Marist could endure the addi-
tional expense.
A ceremony outdoors would allow for unlimited seating. And,
if it did rain, students and their families would be more understan-
ding of the need to limit graduates to three tickets for an indoor
Commencement ceremony.
The decision to hold Commencement inside, where seating will
be severely limited, suggests an insensitivity on the part of the
administration towards a once-in-a-lifetime event for the students
and their families.
It also reflects poor planning for a future that does not pro-
mise to be any better - just worse. The Class of 1990, the largest
freshman class in the coJlege's history, depicts the enormous
growth
•
Marist is experiencing. When their Commencement
ceremony is planned, and others after it, will the solution be to
again reduce the number of tickets per graduate?
Sure, an
inside
ceremony, complete with limited seating, ob-
solete air conditioning and palm trees provides the security of an

Marist's adjuncts deserve a better deal
by Mark· Morreale
In recent years, adjuncts have
been more frequently relied upon
to teach the vast array of courses
that colleges offer their students.
For a number of reasons, this
proliferation' of part-time positions
has put into question the quality of
education at those institutions that
rely heavily upon such part-time in-
struction, but not because of the
quality of the individual teachers
themselves.
(Witness, for example, the recent
articles critical of this practice that
appeared within the last year or so
in The New York Times and
Newswee".)
Marist College, it seems, is no
exception to this trend. I cannot
recall, for example, ever being
taught by an adjunct during my
undergraduate years at Marist in
the mid-1970s, yet as of this
academic year at Marist, more than

Old before his tim?: An adult student's story
by Bill Muller
In the fall of
1985,
with about six
months remaining in my service in
the good ol' U.S. Army, I decided
I would like to go back to school.
In January 1986, I dropped by
the Marist Registrar's Office to see
what it would take for this institu-
tion to accept me. The problem was
-
much to my surprise - I went
to the wrong area.
I was considered, and still am
considered, an "adult student."
At first the term "adult student"
had some really negative connota-
tions for me. When I thought of
the word "adult," I conjured up
images of my parents, their friends
and generally a whole lot of peo-
ple of much more advanced years
than I.
When the situation was explain-
ed to me -
you know, the part
about having to be under 24 to be
considered "just a student" -
I
was no less bewildered by the term.
I am, I thought, going to be a
full-time student. I didn't want to
be separated and given any sort of
label;
I
just wanted to blend into
the scenery and be a student.
Unfortunately, this just isn't
possible.
I think most students have the
same reaction as I did to the term
"adult student." They imagine
grey beards, moms, dads and the
like. Unfortunately for the majori-

lustrates this. Before starting class
this past
fall, I
thought it would be
in my
best
interest to attend
the
adult student orientation.
I
did at-
tend it, and quite frankly, I learn-
ed quite a bit.
My expectation of orientation
was, as I said before, that I would
be in a room full of neo-senior
citizens. The reality, however, was
quite different. ,
Pennywise makes cents,

Pennies. People treat the coin
like Joan Rivers treats Elizabeth
Taylor. A familiar site in anyone's

obscure corner and

about until a friend needs
bail money.
Others of us flick pennies dis-
dainfully to the ground disgusted
with the idea of keeping them in
our pockets, or even worse, being
spotted buying a cup of coffee with
them in one of Marist's coffee
shops.
I think it's time people gave the
penny a break and began treating
the Rodney Dangerfield of coins
with respect.
We've hated other coins and bills
before but always Tor legitimate
reasons. The Susan B. Anthony
do11ar looked too much like a
quarter, and people were upset
because they kept throwing the coin
into the basket at exact change
lanes in toll booths.
The $2 bill was
a
mistake by the
mint. Who needs a bill between one
and five? What were they going to
come out with next?
A
$7 bill?
We discriminate against the pen-
ny not because it's an unnecessary
coin or because it causes us to lose
money. No, we hate the penny
because of its looks and because of
the work caused by keeping them.
In simple words, pennies are ug-
ly. From their copper color (why is
every other coin silver?) to the ug-
ly picture of Lincoln. Who wants
to look at a profile of Lincoln with
his jutting jaw when you can stare
Honest Abe straight in the eye on
a five-dollar bill.
Another factor working against
• pennies is the 1980s. In this fast-
paced world where people can stick
a card in a machine any time of day
, and get instant money, nobody
wants to dilly-dally with pennies.
Most people would rather get the
plaque scraped off their teeth than
put 50 pennies into brown
wrappers.
People display their prejudices
against pennies by ignoring them.
Most of us wffl walk right by pen- .
nies we see lying on the floor or
street. People will pick up sticks,
pick up the kids from school, drive
pickup trucks, but they won't pick
up pennies.
It's high· time we forgot about
the bad points and remembered the
good things about the penny. After
all none of us is perfect. A penny
is a symbol of good old-fashioned
hard work. Ben Franklin wrote,
'JA
penny saved is a penny
. People pick up
sticks, pick up
kids, drive pick-
up trucks,
but
they won't pick
.
up pennies.
earned."
There's another old
saying which
says "pennies
come from heaven"
and that m~kes pennies
the
only
coin with God's approval. Nickels,
dimes and quarters may
be
more
convenient, but you're doing the
work of the Lord when you spend
a
penny. While we're
on the
spiritual values of the penny
let's
not forget about the
penny's
rela-
tionship with the wishing well.
So let's all be a big
brother
to the
orphan of coins.
The next
time you
see a penny lying
homeless on the
side
of
the street, pick
it up, dust
it off,
take the penny
home, put it
in
a wrapper with
others you've
collected,
take
it to the bank and
remember:
"Find a penny, pick it
up,
all day
long
you'll
have good
luck."

Instead
of
seeing
a
predominantely white-haired group
assembled, I saw before me people
who were my age or slightly older.
Well, needless to say, my at-
titude toward being an adult stu-
clent changed dramatically. Rather
than feeling that
I
was to be
grouped among people my parents'
age, I realized that most adult
students are in situations like me.
Herein lies the problem -
and
the purpose of this Viewpoint:
Why bother giving us the title
"adult students" at all?
Granted, students with minimal
mental capacity will be able to tell
that we're a bit older than they are
- and I really don't mind this. But
when
they ask -
and they ahvays
do -
l
guess my usual impulse is
to try to become the incredible
shrinking student.
Don't get me wrong, though.
I
can fully understand what prompts
these people to ask the questions
they do. I was probably would have
done the same thing. But that
doesn't mean I enjoy being called
"adult" because of that.
No, the term "adult student"
doesn't sit well with me at all. Un-
fortunately, though, it's rather like
wanting my cake and being able to
eat it as well.
I like the ease with which I can
register as an adult. I like the
friendly people in the School of
Adult Education in Marist East,
and I even like being considered an
"adult."
But I still don't like the term
"adult student." I am a student
who happens to be an adult.
Period.
1
have to wonder how many peo-
ple reading this have the same im-
age of the "adult student" as
I
did.
I
hope,
if
this accomplished
anything, it changed the image you
have. I've got to go now -

to check for gray hairs, you see.

Travel light
part two
by Kieran Alex Murphy
Day 15. The vast expanse of
highway
stretched
into the
distance, making me an indiscer-
nable figure on this American
highway.
Gravity
seemed
magnified. Looked behind me,
ahead and down at my sneakers,
measuring the asphalt in linear feet
from the Hudson Valley to Des
Moines. It's a long way to Tip-
perary and there's nothing there.
Day 16. It must have been before
IO a.m., when a metallic blue Audi
slowed down to pick me up. I
didn't even have my thumb out.
There was plastic on the seats
and I soon found out these two
guys were transporting the car for
a wealthy acquaintance. They were
nice enough, but they exemplified
the perils of using Cheech and
Chong as positive role models. The
guy in the passenger seat wore tear-
drop shaped wire-rimmed glasses
and had an acute sense of wonder,
while the guy driving was a sci-fl
buff with a terminal case of
paranoia.
Sitting in the back seat, over the
din of Bob Dyl:m's "Highway
61
revisted,'' I cau! ht snippets of their
conversation ...
"I
asked my Boss
for a day off to see the Dead at
Altamont and he said, 'Why don't
you take the rest of the summer
off, Sport.' And I said, 'Wow,
great idea, man!' "
It got to be lunch time. The co-
pilot said to the pilot, "Hey,
doesn't this car have a phone?
Yeah, look at this! We can order
a pizza while we're still driving."
And the pilot said, "No way, man.
You can't order a pizza from a
moving car."
The tone of the pilot's voice cast
the co-pilot's suggestion in such a
ridiculous light, we assumed for a
moment that we had overlooked an
obvious axiom.
This is a similar dynamic to Pro-
fessor McCraw's Ccyonic Dilemma
-
the brainstorm is later accom-
panied by an evident drawback.
History is full of examples (i.e.,
2100 B.C. Civil engineer working
on Egyptian pyramids explains to
foreman, "
...
and then the last few
workers seal the tomb from the in-
side. O.K.").
After a minute or so, the co-pilot
asked, "Why not?"
"What?"
"Why can't you order pizza
from a moving car?"
"What are you going to say?
'Hello, Mr. Pizza guy. Two large
cheese pies. We're driving an Audi
on Interstate 151 - intercept us at
the next bridge abutment.' "
"No, man. We call information
get the name of the pizza place, cali
ahead and get there when the piz-
lateral thinking
on a descending
elevator
za is cooked."
The pilot had realized he forgot
to pull back the safety catch on his
brain and decided to turn the argu-
ment into a matter of principle.
"I don't know, man. It just
doesn't sound right. You wouldn't
order Chinese take-out, go to
another restaurant and eat it
there."
"That analogy makes no sense,
man."
"It
does. You're a mercenary.
You never see the big picture.
Drive-ins are extinct, Jiffy-Pop
comes with a rip cord and then peo-
ple have the nerve to act surprised
when college kids of today want to
see how many VW Beetles they can
get into a phone booth."
"You're just an anarchist, that's
your problem."
"You wouldn't know an anar-
chist
if
you
attended
a
convention."
We ended up stopping for fried
chicken and the lunch discussion
was coolly polite. The Boy Wonder
complained mildly of a 28-foot
tapeworm residing in his intestines
that was gobbling up a goodly por-
tion of his food intake.
I
lost my
appetite and he ate my leftovers.
Back on the road again, these
two decided to put their differences
aside on the moving-pizza issue.
Everything was peace and harmony
again until we passed a road sign
that said: "Scenic View 1/2 mi."
The co-pilot asked the pilot if he
wanted to stop for a look. "Wow,
like I can't believe you don't want
to stop to look at some coun-
tryside. Did you see the sign we just
passed, it said, "Scenic View." The
state of Ohio got a committee
together to designate a specific
place that was more scenic than any
other place and they put up a sign
sayfog, 'This place is scenic, for
God's sake, look at it,' and you
don't want to stop!"
The co-pilot was having a sci-fi
lapse again; he said we couldn't
stop because it might allow im-
mense algae colonies to clog the
turbines and then we'd never make
it back to the base.
The ride with Captain Kirk and
the Boy Wonder was becoming an
itch I had to scratch. I left them a
few miles outside of Akron and
they were mighty gracious with
their goodbyes.
Day 17. It rained today. The air
was heavy and humid. Once my
slept-in clothes were soaked and I
could feel the rivulets of fresh
water running down the length of
my skin into my sneakers, I didn't
mind. The grey day was welcome
after so many brilliant high noons.
It was a reprieve to my premature
crow's feet. The clouds complete-
ly cloaked the sky and hung close
to the horizon. Solid and puffy
cumulus clouds like an eiderdown
comforter placed upon a varied
quilt of green and brown.
I
feel
alive and wise
'today.

April 9, 1987- THE CIRCLE - Page 9
Prof writes screenplay after theater success
by Gina Disanza
Bill
Bozzone has moved from
just off the "Great White Way" to
the heart of the Silver Screen.
Bozzone, an adjunct instructor
of English at Marist College, has
followed last year's highly acclaim-
ed off-Broadway production of his
play "Rose Cottages" with a
screenplay for a movie.
The movie, currently scheduled
.
to begin production in September,
is being released by Trans-World
Entertainment, and tentative stars
include Gene Hackman and Terri
Garr.

The truth about
mononucleosis
by Kristin Blair
You've got mono'-
the dread-
ed
"kissing disease." Besides feel-
ing lousy and being razzed by your
friends, you are all alone because
nobody wants to be in the same
room as you, for fear of catching
it.
Infectious mononucleosis is
caused by a virus and is spread by
the oral-respiratory route, hence
the nickname "kissing disease."
However, mono is not as con-
tagious as we've been told. Studies
have shown that less than 15 per-
cent of susceptible college students
get the virus. "Susceptible" is the
key word, because a very run-down
person is more likely to catch mono
than a healthy one.
The incubation period for the
virus can
be as long as four to seven
weeks with headache, malaise and
fever occuring. Then, typically a
fever of about 100 degrees, a sore
throat and swollen glands develop.
Also, the patient's spleen may
.
become enlarged and liver involve-
ment usually occurs. Sometimes,
early in the i!Jness, a rash may
develop all over the body. These
acute symptoms usually subside
after six to ten days, but may last
up to a couple of weeks.
Diagnosis is based on two blood
tests, a CBC and a mono test. The
CBC is done to check for an
•
elevated white blood cell count. An
increase of lymphocytes (a type of·
white blood cell) is indicative of
any viral infection.
The diagnosis is confirmed by a
serologic mono test. This test
checks to see if the patient's im-
mune system has begun to respond
to the infection. The patient will
begin
to produce antibodies against
the virus, so high levels of these an-
tibodies
can
be detected during the
illness.
After recovery, a small amount
of the antibody will remain to pro-
tect from future infections. This is
why you usually get mono only
once.
There is no magical cure for any
viral illness and mono is no excep-
tion. Usually, treatment involves
lots of bed rest, Tylenol for the
fever and sore throat and other
medication to help relieve the
symptoms.
So relax ... infectious mono is not
as contagious as you thought.
Don't be afraid to give an ailing
friend some extra TLC. And take
care of yourself, too. It's harder to
·
catch mono if you rest up and eat
right.
week, Bozzone, who is also a
Marist alumnus, provided a sneak
preview of the plot, explaining it is
the story of a Texas bar owner
whose wife drowns. Since her body
was never recovered, he cannot be
sure whether his wife is dead or if
she just took off.
Meanwhile, the bar is in• finan-
cial trouble and the owner is being
driven out of business by people
who want to put a highway on his
property.
Last April, "Rose Cottages"
had a three-week run at the Ensem-
ble Studio Theater. The play receiv-
ed outstanding
reviews, most
notably by Frank Rich of The New
York Times who praised Bozzone's
ability
to "create
arresting
characters."
"When I create a character, it is
a combination of people l know
and people in my imagination,"
said Bozzone.
"If
it's based on so-
meone I know,
l
take the personali-
ty and add idiosyncracies and other
characteristics.''
In his movie, Bozzone has
several colorful characters, in-
cluding the bar owner's assistant,
who has just been released from a
mental institution.
He currently has two other pro-
jects in the works; a full length play
called "House Arrest," which will
be performed at the Ensemble
Studio Theater next season and a
one-act play, "Breakdown," which
will open at the Working Theater
in New York City in May.
Bozzone has written many plays
which have been performed across
the country and he spoke about his
inspiration for-the plots.
"I read a lot of different
newspapers," he said, "and they
provide great material, especially
ones like The Weekly World News;
there's a Jot of wild stuff in there."
When asked about the transition
from playwriting to screenwriting,
he explained, "The whole form is
different. You really have to learn
how to do it - you're forced to put
in a lot more narrative."
Although Bozzone is excited
about the opportunity, he said he
is really looking forward to the
beginning of production.
"Right now, I'm just finishing
up the script and hoping things go
well," he said. "I'll be more excited
when we get to shoot."
He added, "If it's filmed in
Texas, I'll be down there hanging
around and making sure ~hings go
alright. I won't be giving much in-
put, but I'll be there."
And eventually, when the project
makes it to the screen, we can all
be there too.
Curing the textbook blues. with area sights
by Gina Disanza
Have you ever been bored with
classes? You sit there, kind of daz-
ed by it

and wonder if somebody
someplace is playing a joke on you
and. making up all the stuff you
find in your iextbooks.
Well, if you take a look around
the area, you'll find Jots of places
which will make you realize that
those textbook icons really did
exist.
Of course, we all know by now
that we are only steps away from
the home of our beloved 32nd
president,
Franklin
Delano
Roosevelt. It really is a beautiful
home, located just a few yards past
the Hyde Park Mall (I wonder how
he would feel about being located
so conveniently near Shop-Rite) on
Route 9.
"But what else is in the area,"
you might ask. Do you honestly
think I would be writing this col-
umn if I couldn't come up with
some answers?
For all of you with political
aspirations, there is the Clinton
House
on Main
Street
in
Poughkeepsie. Built in 1765, it was
the headquarters of the first gover-
nor of New York State, when
(believe it or not) Poughkeepsie
was the temporary state capital

from 1777-1783.

that political history has got to be
inspirational.
We also are blessed with one of
the nation's oldest continuously
operating hotels, the Beekman
Arms, on Route 9 in Rhinebeck.
During the Revolutionary War, it
was known as the Bogardus Tavern
and is one of the places which can
rightfully hang the sign "George
Washington slept here." (Along
with other
early
American
dignitaries including Alexander
Hamilton).

This Poughkeepsie-based

Irving.
out
and
about
The Van Wyck-Wharton home
serves a kind of dual purpose. Dur-
ing the Revolution, it was used by
the Continental army and the
quartermaster department officers.
It was the scene of many courts-
martial during that period. As for
its literary significance, the Van
Wyck-Wharton house is believed to
be the
·inspiration
for the Wharton
House
in James
Fenimore
Cooper's "The Spy."
But for you purists who don't
want to share your points of in-

Tarrytown, where you'll find the
home of Washington Irving.
In
the 1700's,
this
home was
owned by the Van Tassel family
(memorialized by Irving's character
Katrina Van Tassel in "The Legend
of Sleepy Hollow"). Irving pur-
chased the home and renamed it
Sunnyside.
After
extensive
remodeling, he used his residence
to entertain literary giants such as
Nathaniel
Hawthorne,
Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow, Oliver
Wendell Holmes and William
Cullen Bryant. A few hours there
might induce the Great American

that is overdue for College

Parks ready for spring crowds
by Linda Smith
Spring is here at last and what
better way to enjoy the season than
to visit one of the Hudson Valley's
scenic parks.
Throughout Dutchess and Ulster
.
counties there are several public
parks with facilities ranging from
rigorous hiking trails to grassy
hangout spots, and all within a
half-hour drive from Marist.
If you have a car, or even a bicy-
cle, the Vanderbilt Mansion on
Route 9 in Hyde Park is a great
escape from campus. For years, the
rolling, grass-covered hills which
overlook the Hudson River have
been a favorite hang-out for Marist
students. You may picnic on the
grounds or take a tour of the man-
sion which begins at the Visitor
Center.
The Vanderbilt Mansion is open
seven days a week from 10 a.m. -
6 p.m. For more information call
229-9115.
Sundays are great days to play
golf, and at Norrie Point there are
two nine-hole courses to "hack"
your way through.
If
you are not
a golfer you can camp out along
the river, tour the Mills Mansion or
hike through one of the many trails
at the park.
Norrie Point is located eight
miles north on Route 9. For golf
equipment rentals and fee informa-
tion call 889-4646. The park is open
daily from sunrise to sunset.
For adventure, try climbing
through the rocks and caves at
Mohonk Mountain in New Paltz.
Miles of scenic hiking trails lead
you to the Skytop Observation
Tower which overlooks six states.
An entry fee of $6 per person in-
cludes access to the mountain's hik-
ing trails, a greenhouse area, the
barn museum, show gardens and
a
picnic area. Mohonk Mountain is
located six miles west of New York
State Thruway exit 18, and is open
all week from 7 a.m. until dusk.
For
more
information
call
255-1000.
If you are looking for a change
of scenery, spend the next beautiful
day away from Marist. Gather
your friends and a frisbee and catch
spring fever at a local park.

Red Foxes
by Paul Kelly
The Marist College lacrosse team
has a small problem this season.
Catching the ball.
Repeatedly this year, Red Fox at-
tackmen have raced towards the
opponents' goal and attempted to
orchestrate a shot on goal via in-
tricate passing. However, the ball
has often touched grass instead of
the leather or nylon webbing of a
Marist stick.
Last week, while attempting to
end frustrating
ballhandling
mistakes, the Marist laxmen ex-
perienced a synthesis of last
season's offensive prowess and this
year's firepower reduction.
Last Thursday, the Red Foxes
trounced visiting Manhattanville
23-2, elevating their overall record
to 2-3. Marist lost to Siena last
Wednesday 13-6.
The mornoon which invaded

our schedule left that we can walk
out and beat without playing," said
Malet.
However, last Thursday the Red
Foxes exploited a weak Manhattan-
ville team, scoring 16 second-half
goals. Before the contest, Marist
had scored just 28 goals this
season.
Sophomore attackman Peter
Oppenheim scored six goals and
added one assist while classmate
Pete Cleary tallied four goals and
two assists for Marist. Junior
Chris Reuss and sophomore Chris
Gagliano combined to stop 19
Manhattanville shots. "Reuss had
his best game to date," said Marist
Head Coach Mike Malet.
Malet said the easy victory
boosted his young squad's con-
fidence. "We played to our level of
ability," said Malet. "The guys
who were questioning whether they
could still find the net found out
they could do it."
•
Against Manhattanville, the Red
Foxes also eliminated a problem
which has continually plagued
them this season. Marist caught the
ball.
"If

like we did against ManhattanvijJe,
l figure we. can go against

Siena parlayed the Red Foxes'
miscues
into
a 6-1 halftime lead en
route to the victory. Marist
sophomore midfielder Tom Don-
nelan scored four goals.
"Catching the ball and holding
on to it has been a big problem for
the attackmen,"
said Malet:· .
"They're looking to the goal before
they catch the ball. You can't do
that against teams of high caliber
because you're not going to get that
many chances."
Malet also attributed the Red
Foxes' first-half offensive woes
against Siena to a lack of mental
preparation. "The Siena situation
was the same problem we had with
Kean and Stony Brook," said
Malet. "We just weren't ready to
play.
"When they (team members)
step on the field I want them ready
to play," said Malet. "It's due to
a lack of concentration or maturi-
ty. We're a young team, and those
things hurt you."

Wif
fle: The pseudo-baseball we love to play
by
John Roche
Spring has sprung - and to many peo-
ple, the season holds a different meaning.
To some it means the resurgence of
nature; to others it is the welcomed thaw
of winter's chill. But to a great number
of people, especially college students,
spring means Wiffle ball.
The Marist campus serves as the play-
ing field for the game at a number of
spots, from the grass outside Cham-
pagr:iat to the Townhouse parking lots.
The Wiftle ball box says that the game
is fun and safe to play anywhere, indoors
and out. To some that versatility is·the
appeal of the game.
"You don't need a special field or
anYthing -
just a couple of guys, the
ball, and the bat," said sophomore Gerry
Dietz.
Dave Mullaney, Jr., president of the
Wiffle Ball Company, also lists flexibili-
ty as a reason for the game's popularity.
"It can be played on a city street or in
a grassy backyard, in the suburbs or
anywhere," said Mullaney.
A common neighborhood accident
contributed to the the invention of the
Wiffle Ball, Mullaney said. The ball was
invented in 1953 by Dave Mullaney, Sr.
after Shelton, Conn., children were
punished because they broke windows
while playing stickball.
The Mullaneys began playing stickball
with hollow plastic golf balls. The elder
Mullaney decided to remove some plastic
from one side of the ball, making it lop-
sided. With the lopsided ball, less rota-
tion was needed to throw a curveball, an
appealing characteristic.
"We sat around the kitchen table, car-
ving up the plastic golf balls, experimen-
ting with different designs. We came up
with the best one, used today, and stuck
with it," Mullaney Jr. said.
Mullaney Jr. said the ball has been
popular for a number of reasons.
"Number one, it's a top quality pro-
duct," said Mullaney. "It's made to last.
Also, its kept affordable," Mullaney said.
In 1956, the first regulation basebalt-
sized Wiffle ball was developed and sold
for 50 cents. In 1987, a Wiffle ball costs
8~ cents.
•
•
Most local retail stores said the. Wiffte
ball is always popular, especially during
the spring, summer and fall. Austin Pro-
feta, manager of Anaconda Kaye Spor-
ting Goods in Poughkeepsie, said sales of
the ball are heavy among customers of all
ages. "Everybody loves baseball and Wif-
fte ball is the easiest way to play it," Pro-
feta said.
A worker at Kay-Bee Toy and Hobby
Shop in Poughkeepsie also said sales in-
crease during the warm-weather months.
Rich Hoff, assistant manager at Her-
man's World of Sporting Goods. in
Poughkeepsie, said Wiffte ball's appeal
is its ease of play. "It's great outdoor
recreation," Hoff said.
At Marist, students offered myriad
reasons for their attraction to Wiffle ball.
"The unpredictability of the ball is
what attracts me to the game," said Jay
Cody, a sophomore from Troy, N.Y.
"The holes make it."
•
Pierce Redmond, a sophomore from
Unionville, N.Y., likes the game for a dif-
ferent reason. "With Wiffte ball, I like
to fantasize that I'm in the big leagues,"
said
.Redmond.
"I call myself the
Bambino."
•
Brian Gormley, a business major, likes
the game because it's relaxing and fun.
"You don't take it seriously," said
Gormley. "You just get together with
friends and have a good time."
Mullaney Jr. said Wiffte ball is a great
game for college students. "It's coed, you
only need a few people and the rules are
flexible," he said. "You don't even have
to run bases if you don't want. And it
goes great with beer," he said.
Matt Durkin, a senior, said his four
y~rs at Marist have helped him develop
his curveball to near perfection. "It's
great," said Durkin. "I'm just about
peaking
right now, right before
graduation."

A

Shamley never earned
a spot on the ECAC Metro all-star
squad, but his importance to
Marist basketball the last four
years'has been immeasurable. Sure,
many· say hoop season is over. It
is. However, recognition for
Shams, the most fundamentally
sound player on the team, is long
overdue. It is unfortunate the
joyous realization of his four-year
accomplishments became mired in
Tucson.
-
A. baseball team at Marist.
The logistics are stupendous and a
sincere effort has not been made,
but a hardball team at Marist
would receive campus-wide interest
and spectator support. What else is
more relaxing during the spring
than laying back and watching a
baseball game?
-
Increased attendance at
Marist lacrosse games.
Lacrosse is
a quick-moving, intriguing sport.
It possesses the intricate passing
and teamwork of hockey and soc-
cer while maintaining some of the
crunching physical contact of foot<
ball. A perfect combination. Why
don't more people attend?
- Chris Reuss earn the recogni-
tion be deserves. OK,
The Circle
has not published a story this year
about Reuss. However, Rooster, a
junior, sported the second-best
save percentage in Division One
lacrosse last year and possessed the
best Division One save percentage
his freshman year. Yes, Division
One. That includes Syracuse,
thursday
morning
quarterback
North
Carolina
and
Johns
Hopkins. This kid is
good,
very
good.
-
Credit given to Chris
Gagliano.
Serving as backup goalie
behind Reuss is no easy task. Gags'
seasonal game action probably will
not exceed one hour. Still, he can
be seen honing his ballhandling
skills with Reuss in the Townhouse
parking lot during his leisure time.
-
Beer sold at Marist home
basketball games.
Sure, this is im-
possible and a ridiculous claim.
But, I have a dream. Currently,
Budweiser banners adorn the walls
and press table at Mccann. The
new scoreboards, complete with
elecfronic message ribbons, are
flanked by large illuminated Bud
signs. So, Augie Busch loves Marist
basketball. We love his beer. Let's
return the favor.
-
Prayers for the Marist track
team.
With only four members, the
squad will need more than en-
thusiasm. I offer the four remain-
ing members a novena, for more
reasons than lack of numbers. The
entire program needs scrutiny.
- The Cleveland Indians play a
benefit
basketball
game in
Mccann.
The New York Giants
are playing a benefit basketball
game April 21 in Mccann against
an all-star squad composed of
Poughkeepsie-area residents. Brian
Colleary,
Marist director
of
athletics, will play for the locals.
Admittedly, it will be enjoyable to
see the Super Bowl champs
challenge
local
hoopsters.
However, watching Cleveland's
Joe Carter or Cory Snyder slam
dunk would incite a riot in
Mccann. As victory loomed, the
triumphant Indians will be drench-
ed with an orange bucket of Blatz
beer.

So, brothers and sisters in sport,
enough preaching. It's time now
for me to collect $8 million by
finals week. If l don't, God will
strike me down and the Los
Angeles Kings will win the Stanley

ty," an improvisational theater
group in Chicago.
He told the crowd, "I'd think to
myself I'm
going to show
something about myself that I
didn't even want myself to know."
Arkin admitted that his speech
Monday night was much like his
improvisational acting days -
unprepared.
"I haven't got any idea what to
say tonight," he said at the start of
the evening.
Instead of preparing a speech,
Arkin was responding to the au-
dience's random questions.
"What's your major passion?",
he was asked.
He answered without hesitation.
"The moment of creativity," he
said.
Arkin then found it difficult to
explain creativity. "I know I'm
creating when I get to the point
where the part is doing me," he
said. "It sounds like insanity, I
know."
In many ways his responses
enlightened those with an interest
in acting. Allison Hughes, a junior
who has appeared in a variety of
Marist Theater productions, said
Arkin inspired her by his responses.
"I was encouraged by his
description of the different parts
he's played," she said. "It was
quite comforting to know others
feel the same way I do about
acting."
Jim Heffernan, a sophomore
from Bayside, N.Y., was suprised
by many of Arkin's reactions.
"I think he really stuck his neck
out because he wasn't afraid to
criticize other actors," Heffernan
said. "But he did have opinions I
agreed with."
Arkin's wife, Barbara Dana was
also in the audience. She said she
was pleased with the evening's out-
come. Dana often accompanies her
husband when he is speaking, and
she said she was happy about the
favorable responses she'd been
hearing from Marist students.
"If
there was one thing he
wanted to do, it was to have a
positive impact on the people he
addressed," she said.
Arkin, who dosn't usually speak
at colleges, said he had a wonder-
ful time. "You can get a little lost
when you're an actor, and not
know who you are reaching," he
said. "It's exciting to go and see
that people have a reaction to what
you do and say."
Arkin said he was pleased that
his discussion was successful. "It's
important to have a dialogue," he
said, "to really understand."

facilitate a quick inspection pro-
cedure when seniors leave • after
Commencement, he said.
All personal items must be
removed from the room, according
to Sansola. Seniors may keep one
box of kitchen utensils in their
Townhouse or Garden Apartment,
and can leave a small suitcase of
clothes, formal wear and a bag
containing their bedding in the
closet, Sansola said.
Seniors will be able to return
Sunday, May 17, at 6 p.m., accor-
ding to Sansola. _
/
The early departure decision was
mutually agreed upon by the Hous-
ing Office and the senior class of-
ficers, according to Sansola.
Seniors may • request tickets
returned by other students, and the
Registrar's office will print addi-
tional tickets if the seating capaci-
ty of Mccann increases, said
Molloy.

Fridays, not as a form of punish-
ment, but as a method of spr~ding
classes to bene'it students as well
as the faculty. What makes Marist
so special that it can't schedule
such classes?
People go to college to prepare
themselves for the "real world,"
right? Well, sorry to inform you,
but in the "real world" people
work five days a week and that
usually includes Fridays.

To the editor:
Let's start at the beginning, but
where is that? Well, all you have
to do is check any Marist publica-
tion; the college will have it's seal
or some blip about the school's
founding, so let's check.
According to all the Marist
notebooks, my bill for tuition and
the Marist 1984 undergraduate
handbook, we can easily find that
Marist was founded in 1946.

However, ifwe check certain let-

Office, the student handbook and
a few other select publications, we
find that Marist College was

a way to make Marist seem older?
It really isn't all that important
I
in light of other findings. As we dig
I
I
a little more into the Marist trivia
t----lalll------------------....;J
bin we find the publication an-
nouncing the opening of the Lowell_
Thomas Communication Center,
which says Marist traces its roots
to 1905.
,
Now this • publication doesn't
quite say that Marist was founded
in 1905, but the Marist College
• Summer Session 1987 publication
does.
It says: "Founded in 1905 for
Marist brothers, Marist is now an
independent, nonsectarian four
year liberal arts college:''
Let's iook this one up. To the
best of my knowledge Marist
brothers did begin studies here in
1905, but was that Marist College?
Hey, let's just keep changing the
founding date. While we're at it,
why don't we say Marist was
founded in 1815 when Father
!Vfarcellin
Champagnat began the
religious order?
While we're extending the truth
a bit, why don't we just say a
psychic monk predicted a college
would be founded along a river in
the 1400's.
How old is the school going to
become? Why don't we just say
Marist could be somehow tied to
Christ's teachings, too, or just say
the school was founded 2,000 years
ago, and is the oldest school in
America.
