A
record
number of students received
their diplomas
on Saturday, May 20, at
Marist's 54
th
commencement.
Nine-hundred-t wemy students received
bachelor's
degrees and 230 received master's

site
for

Commencement
cises since 1996 and the
only space
large
enough to
accommodate
the
growing
number
of graduates and
their
families and friends.
Optimistic about
the
day's
2000
weather forecast, student
representatives of the Class
of2000 had decided to follow
tradition
and
hold
the ceremony on the green; graduation
is
moved
into
the McCann
Center only in
cases of
dangerous
weather since
the indoor
site limits each graduate to only
two
guests.
The
rain eventually came, but many of the
9,000 guests were
prepared
with
umbrellas
while others
went into the
Student Center
to watch the event on closed-circuit TY.
Commencement
speaker Sen.
Bob
Kerrey of Nebraska exhorted the graduates
to remember that
the most important hu-
man
attribute is character. "You are better
than
the
worst
thing
you do
in
your
life,"
he
added. "The worstthing you do may awaken
you to do the best." He concluded by
urg-
ing
the
graduates
to
"keep your sense of
humor, especially about your own mis-
takes,
and
don't
walk away when a stranger
asks for help .... May God grant you seren-
ity,
happitness
and the courage to
do
what
frightens you."
During
the
ceremony Marist awarded
an honorary Doctor of Laws to Senator
Kerrey,
a former Navy SEAL and Vietnam
veteran who earned
the
Congressional
Medal of Honor,
the
country's highest mili-
tary
decoiration.
Marist
also awarded a Doc-
tor
of
Humane
Letters
to
Frances Reese, a
pivotal figure in preserving the ecology and
beauty of the Hudson Valley through her
work with Scenic Hudson and a staunch
advocate for students over the past 16 years
as a
member
of Marist's Board of Trustees.
Prior to the ceremony May 20, which
was Armed Forces Day, Sen. Kerrey helped
plant a redwood tree in honor and memory
of those members of
the
Marist community
who served in Vietnam. The senator joined
Vietnam veterans Jim Barnes

trustee,
Brendan Burke

Dan Okada, assistant
professor
of criminal
justice, and Roy Merolli, executive vice
president, in planting the

MARIST
DR
News
and
Notes
from
the
Campus
National Leaders Meet
at Marist
Thanks
to
Marist's relationship with the
I
Franklin Delano Roosevelt Presidential
Library, the campus became the summit site
May 21 and 22 for more than 120 officials
from across the country who are
members
of the Democratic Leadership Council.
The
DLC had planned to
meet
at the
FDR Library to develop what will be called
the "Hyde Park Declaration," a statement of
principles
to guide
the
centrist think tank
for
the
next
10
years. However, the FDR
Library was not
large
enough to accommo-
date the governors, U.S. senators,
members
of Congress,
mayors
and myriad other
elected and appointed officials, as well as
entrepreneurs and other DLC supporters. A
call to Marist's College
Relations from FDR
Library archivist Lynn Bassanese '75 led to
several meetings with DLC staff
members
who were awed by
the
campus, particularly
the new James A. Cannavino
Library. The
DLC
staff noted that the technologically
advanced
library fit
the progressive
image
the group wished
to portray,
while the
views of
the
majestic
Hudson
River would
be
conducive
to
fruitful
discussions.
The
timing
of the DLC event
put
the
entire college staff
to
the
test.
Just 24
hours
after
the
last of
the
9,000 commence-
ment
guests
left
campus, Physical
Plant
and Housekeeping
crews,
joined by members of the College
Activities, College Relations and
Media Center staffs,
turned the
Stu-
dent Center Cabaret into a
high-tech
conference center. The DLCalso
used
several rooms in the Cannavino Li-
brary
for break-out strategy sessions.
Adding
to the
complexity of ar-
rangements
was
the
possibility
that
President
Bill
Clinton
might
visit the cam-
pus
on May 21 before heading
to the FDR
Library to address the DLC members.
Marist
President Dennis
J.
Murray hoped to give
the president a demonstration of the Marist/
IBM/FDR Library project, which has led to
thousands of documents being scanned and
digitized,
then
placed
on the Web to be
accessed
by
students and scholars. The
project
could be a prototype for the pro-
posed Clinton presidential
library
as well as
those
of past and
future
chief executives.
While Mr. Clinton's schedule did not
allow for a Marist stop, Dr. Murray was able
to discuss the
project
with
the
commander
in chief when he greeted President Clinton
at the
FDR
Library.
That
led to a request
from
Mr. Clinton to visit
him in
Washing-
ton
to go over
the details
of
the
collabora-
tion.
During
the
DLC meeting, Dr. Murray
and project director Dr. David Woolner
demonstrated
this
"digital library" technol-
ogy
for
Secretary of
the
Army Louis Caldera.
Following Mr. Clinton'sspeech,
the
DLC
delegates
arrived at Marist to begin two

joined by others such as Mayors Lee Brown
ofHousto,n and Anthony Williams of Wash-
ington,
D.C., as well as senior executives of
financial firms, dot-com companies and
communicationsconglomerates. They were
all
impressed
with Marist's state-of-the-an
facilities and beautiful campus.
"This is
like
making a pilgrimage for
me, visiting
the
college where
Rik
Smits got
his stan," said
Indianapolis
Mayor Bart
Peterson, whose
hometown
Indiana Pacers
were
battl.ing the
New York
Knicks that
day
to make it into the National Basketball
Association finals. The Pacers, of course,
feature the 7'4" center and Marist alumnus.
Other participants used their video cam-
eras to capture the
panoramic
vistas
from
the campus green or record the high-tech
design
of the Cannavino Library. All
the
participants
left
with favorable opinions of
their visit. In a
thank-you
note to the col-
lege,
Oklahoma State Treasurer
Robert
Butkin wrote, "l was most impressed by
both your cam
pus
and yourwonderf
ul
staff.
I feel your students are fortunate to
have
the
opportunity to study at an outstanding lib-
eral arts college such as Marist."
The DLC
paid
for all expenses
incurred
during their two-day Marist stay.

Online Program
Online M.P.A. Launched
B
ecause of
the
overwhelming success of
its online master of
business
adminis-
tration
program, Marist will
launch
an online
master of public administration program in
September
2000.
Applications for
the pro-
gram are now
being
accepted. The first class
of students can expect to receive
their
grad
u-
ate
degrees
in May
2003.
Like Marist's traditional M.P.A.
pro-
gram, the online M.P.A. consists of
13
courses. Online courses are eight weeks
in
length so
the pace
is somewhat accelerated.
By
taking two
courses each semester and
one course each summer, a
part-time
stu-
dent can complete
degree requirements
in
less than
three years.
To be eligible for the degree, students
are generally
required
to complete
39
cred-
its. The core curriculum covers budgeting
and accounting,
personnel
management,
policy
analy-
sis and program evaluation,
and political and public ac-
tion. Students then begin
coursework within an area
of concentration
such as
criminal
justice
administra-
tion,
nonprofit administra-
tion,
human
services admin-
istration or health services
administration.
Acting M.P.A. Program
Director Dr James Kent says
the
impetus
for creating the
online
program
was the
number
of inquiries
Marist was receiving
from far away about its M.P.A. offer-
ings.
"We
think
this
is
a really exciting
opportunity for Marist to establish itself
as a national, or even international,
pres-
ence among M.P.A.
programs."
Marist launched its online master of
business
administration program
in
Janu-
ary
1999.
More than
150
students
have
been
admitted to that program. Students
are very satisfied with the
flexibility,
conve-
nience and quality
learning
experience they
are receiving, according to Dr. Gordon
Badovick,
dean of the School of Manage-
ment. Students as far away as California,
Florida and Canada are now applying to
the
online M.B.A.
program
and administrators
expect even greater
demand
for the online
M.P.A. program.

after four decades of dedicated service.
A
fter more
than 43 years of dedicated
service to
Marist
College, Poughkeepsie
attorney John
J.
Gartland
Jr. has
been
elected
to life trustee
status by
Marist's
Board
of
Trustees.
"He
is
a very
unique
and special
person in
the life and
history
of
the
college," says Dr.
Dennis
Murray,
president
of Marist.
"No
vol-
unteer
has done
more
for students, faculty
and alumni of our college
than
Jack
Gartland."
Mr. Gartland's
involvement
with Marist
dates
to
1956,when he was elected
to
the first
lay
advisory board at the college, which was
then
devoted to training young men to be-
come Marist Brothers. Mr. Gartland
became
a

Buildings
and Grounds committee and oversaw the
design and development of the

A
Character-
Building
College
M
arist College has been
recognized
as
a
leader
in
student character
develop-
ment.
This past year, Marist was
named
in
The
Templeton
Guide:
Colleges
That
Encourage
Char-
acter Development,
a national
guidebook
pro-
duced by the
John Templeton
Foundation.
Marist was also named to
the
Templeton
Honor Roll, a select
list of 100
colleges and
universities recognized
for
their
record of
commitment to inspire students
to
lead ethi-
cal and civic-minded liYes.
Intended
for
high
school students, par-
ents, guidance counselors, college adminis-
trators,
trustees,
faculty and alumni,
The
Templeton
Guide
recognizes programs that
represent the
best practices in the
field
of
character development during the college
years. The
programs
were chosen
through
a
highly
selective process
that
considered clar-
ity of vision and statement of purpose; institu-
tional
resources; involvement
of institutional
leaders; impact
on students, faculty, campus
and
community;
integration
into the core
this interdisciplinary
mi-
nor
in 1995 as part of
the
college's
humanities pro-
gram.
Students
take
courses in human
rights,
human
values and choice,
afOuence and poverty, and
other social and
political
topics. Faculty and students
collaborate
on social
research
and hands-on experience,
working with a wide variety of community
service agencies to
put into
practice what
is
learned in
the Marist
classroom. Dr.
Mar
Peter-Raoul, chair of the Philosophy and
Re-
ligious
Studies
Department,
Dr. Bruce Luske,
associate professor
of sociology, and Dr. Greg
Moses, assistant
professor of philosophy, di-
rect the
program.
In
addition
to
recognizing
the Public
Praxis
project, Templeton recognized Marist's Self-
Management
program
as a nationwide
model
for students entering college. The
program
teaches students
to
examine how their own
curriculum or academic study;
longevity; external awards and
recognition; and assessment.

for those who be-
lieve

Guide

feelings, behaviors and thoughts
are central to personal develop-
ment and achievement in all as-
pects of life. Two Marist educa-
tors, Dr. Edward O'Keefe and
Donna Berger, initiated the pro-
gram with the college's Academic
Leaming
Center in 1989. They
are also the authors of
Self-Man-
University, Colgate University, Cornell
Uni-
versity, Dartmouth College, Duke University,
Princeton University,
Stanford
University
and
Yale
University. Marist is
profiled
in two sec-
tions
highlighting the top
programs
for first-
year students and for civic education.
The book recognizes Marist's Public

project
as one of the country's
leading civic
education
programs. Marist's Department of

many other colleges and universities nation-
wide. Now in its second printing, the text was
chosen in 1995 by
Rolling
Stone
magazine as
one of
the
top three personal development
and study guides in
the
country.
"Marist College's strong commitment
to
character development and
the
strength of
its
program
make it
a model for colleges and
universities
nationwide,"
said
Dr.
Arthur
J.
Schwartz, director
of
character development
programs at
the John Templeton Foundation.
"With
The Templeton
Guide,
we
hope
to
help
prospective college students and
their parents
who want to
know
what colleges are
doing
to
promote
the
core values of
honesty,
self-
control, respect and service to those
less
for-
tunate.
The
Templeton
Guide
identifies
col-
leges that
encourage students
tO
understand
the importance of
personal
and civic respon-
sibility, which will
help
them succeed
in
col-
lege
and
beyond.
Marist's work in this area
is
most
impressive."
"The
Templeton
Guide
gives added affi
rma-
tion
to the well-known fact
that
Marist gradu-
ates are
liberally
educated, first-rate
profes-
sionals who are also
builders
of community
and exemplary citizens," said Dr. Artin
Arslanian, dean of faculty/vice president for
academic affairs at Marist.
"This
also attests
tO
the
fact that the
Marist
mission is very much
alive on campus and
impacts
the
lives
of all its
students, thanks
to
the
professionalism,
com-
mitment
and
dedicated
leadership of
its
fac-
ulty, staff and administration." Marist's
mis-
sion today
is based
on the
ideals
originally
established
by
the founding Marist Brothers:
commitment to excellence in education, a
pursuit
of higher human values, and dedica-
tion to the
principle of service.

In
Memoriam
Sigrid Brandis
A dearly
loved
Marist professor,
Adjunct Professor of Modern
Languages Sigrid Brandis of
Wappingers Falls, N.Y., died
March 26, 2000. She was 63.
Frau Brandis, as her students
affectionately called her, taught
German at Marist for 32 years.
Born
in
Koenigsberg, Germany,
she had been a resident of New
York since
1964.
"She
was truly fantastic!"
said
l
Bro. Joe Belanger, FMS, a col-
league in
the
teaching of lan-
guages.
"Students
loved
her. Every October she'd have them over
to
her house for the Oktoberfest."
Mrs. Brandis was a dedicated professor, said colleague Maurice
Bibeau. "She was very generous with her time and energy
in
serving her students and promoting the German language and
culture."
"My Marist experience was made better not because I was able
to study German, but because I had Frau Brandis teaching me
German," said Karen Shultz
'00. "Frau
was more than just a
professor. She was a friend, a listener, a mother fig1ure and
someone who always had a good story to tell. Frau was the reason
why many of us stuck with German. Frau made the class. Frau
made the
language
come alive."
"O[
all the wonder[ul teachers
I
had the privilege to work with
at Marist, Frau Brandis was one of
my
favorites," said Elizabeth
Dunn
'98. "1
looked forward to every class with her, and was
blessed to get
to
know her personally outside of school. She
touched my
life
in many great ways, from being a caring
teacher
to
being a wonderful friend."
Sigrid Brandis is survived by her husband of 3 7 years, Elmar;
a daughter; a son and his wife; a brother and his wife; and a niece.
N.Y. She
is responsible
for the
auditing and selling of off-lease
vehicles
to
dealerships across the

Professor Tom Casey meets with his History of the Hudson Valley class at Fern Tor. Background: A ridge at Fern Tor overlooks
the
Hudson River.
Experien~cing
Nature
Marist's acquisition of the 13-acre estate Fern Tor offers a serene setting for teaching, learning and just contemplating.
P
rofessor Thomas Casey could be for-
given for making up ghost stories about
the century-old carriage house that has
contained his office for the past two years.
Leading a tour of the house, the philosophy
professor
suggests that a mysterious cubby-
hole in a closeted staircase is a
likely
home for
a ghost. Outside, he observes that the
house's
wine cellar makes a
prime
hideout for a gob-
lin. And he's not above telling students of
snakes lurking in the surrounding woods.
Although he wants to dramatize the
uniqueness of Fern Tor, the 13-acre estate
Marist acquired in December 1997, Professor
Casey also doesn't want its tranquility de-
stroyed. Any visitor to the peaceful property
could not blame him. The estate at the campus's
northern boundary is a quiet
retreat
rich with
trees, flowering herbs, shrubs, ferns, wildlife
and several ecological habitats, graced by a
Hudson River view and 800 feet of shoreline.
The carriage house,
built
of Dutchess field-
stone and bricks from the estate's original
1880s' mansion, is nestled into the forest.
"When you come onto this property, you're
immediately struck by
nature,
not by build-
26
M A R I ST M A G A Z I
N
E
ings," says Professor Casey.
"What
strikes you
about this place
is its
natural setting."
Histc1ry
and
Horticulture
Tom Casey, a member ofMarist's Department
of Philosophy and Religious Studies since
1963,
is
one of
15
faculty members in the
Division of Humanities who had offices in the
spacious carriage house until recently, when
the divi.sion moved into newly completed
Fomain,e Hall. Professor Casey has researched
the history of the estate to
1699.
The land was
not
developed
until 1861 when, according to
legal
documents, Thomas Newbold purchased
it.
It eventually boasted a mansion with a
southern vista of
the
Hudson River (before
the Mid-Hudson Bridge and railroad
bridge
were built), a summerhouse, formal gardens,
and greenhouses,
including
one
dedicated to
orchids. A manmade pond, spring-fed, was
fashioned in the 1880s. The mansion com-
manded
the highest point on the estate, and
its
foundations, all that remain of the struc-
ture, now mark the highest ground on Marist's
campus.
With the death of Thomas Newbold, the
estate passed to his wife and children. Frederick
Newbold, Thomas's son, was prominent in
horticulture and helped found the Horticul-
tural Society of New York. It was Frederick
Newbold who named the property Fern Tor
after
its
ferns and rocky hills. The next genera-
tion of Newbolds sold Fem Tor
to the
Way
family, who transformed the carriage house
into their home and eventually sold the
parcel
to Marist.
Fern Tor now recalls a bit of Marist
College's own history. Marist has named the
carriage house St. Ann's Hermitage in
remem-
brance of the role of the Marist Brothers in
establishing the college; St. Ann's Hermitage
was the name the Brothers gave to the
Poughkeepsie property
they bought
in
1905
that later became Marist College.
Fern Tor is of not only historic but also
literary
interest.
The Newbolds had strong
ties to the Pulitzer Prize-winning American
novelist and short story writer Edith Wharton:
Thomas Newbold was married to her mother's
sister, Mary Rhinelander Newbold. Thomas
and his wife were godparents
to
Edith, whose
















middle name was Newbold. Dr.
Judith Saunders, professor of En-
glish at Marist and an Edith
Wharton scholar, notes that
R.W.B.
Lewis's
biography of the
writer mentions Edith Wharton
visiting her relatives at Fern Tor
in the autumn of
1906,
enjoying
its
"wonderful colours of foli-
age." Professor Tom Casey
be-
lieves
Edith Wharton, who had a
passion
for gardening,
must
have
remembered her visits to the
Hudson River home; he notes
that her Lenox, Mass., estate, The
Mount,
has
plantings of myrtle
identical to those at Fern Tor.

forest stand of walnut trees.
"There's a good abundance of
life
there to the casual observer,"
says Dr.
Feldman.
His students
have recorded sightings of wild-
life including deer, turkeys,
skunks,
muskrats,
geese, ducks
and great blue herons.
Undisturbed Land
Both environmental
science
majors and non-science majors
are benefiting greatly from the
presence of Fern Tor on cam-
pus. Previously, Marist did not
have
an extensive area of undis-
visited
her relatives, the
family of Thomas
Newbold, at Fem Tor in
the autumn of 1906,
enjoying its
"wonderful
colours of foliage."
An Abundant Resource
Perhaps more important than its historic or
literary
significance is Fern Tor's role as a
place Marist students can
learn
about nature.
The property is home to at
least
20 species of
native trees, according to Dr. Richard Feldman,
assistant professor of environmental science,
who brings classes there. Trees represented
include four species of maple,
two
of birch
and three of hickory as well as sycamore,
walnut, ironwood,
basswood,
white pine, east-
ern hemlock and black locust. Also
in
resi-
dence are two huge
tulip
trees-one
with a
chest-high diameter of four feet-as well as
two red
oaks at
least
300 years old.
The trees at Fern Tor complement the
variety of trees farther south on
the
Marist
campus that Professor Casey and
the
late
biology professor William Perrone catalogued
in
recent years. During
the
past decade they
identified
and
tagged pine,
oak, beech, wal-
nut, magnolia,
ginkgo, maple,
hemlock
and
LUlip trees.
Now, Dr. Feldman's students help with
the biological characterization of Fern Tor.
The site's ecological habitats include a pond,
small wetlands, a ravine, dry
ridgetop
and a
turbed land, says Dr. Feldman.
"This is so
·important.
It's
one
thing to
show
slides and videos.
It's
another to see habitats
and species firsthand and to witness ecologi-
cal relationships." Now, about 320 of his
students have carried out class assignments at
Fern Tor over the five semesters since Marist
purchased the property.
Dr. Feldman says he was truly excited
when
he
learned that Marist had acquired
Fem Tor. "I like to
let
students know we've got
this in our back yard, that you don't have to go
someplace exotic to appreciate the natural
world."
He
wasted
no
time in using Fern Tor as a
laboratory for his classes. The Invertebrate
Zoology class was the first, collecting speci-
mens there in April 1998. The Ecology lecture
class and Held and Lab Ecology class identify
trees, observe weather conditions and main-
tain field journals
there.
Keeping a journal

several weeks noticing details of

journals. Although students don't have to
make their field journal observations at Fern
Tor, most do, especially freshmen. "I would
not have been able
to
require this assignment
if there wasn't some place students could walk
to," says Dr. Feldman.
The property has made field work pos-
sible for the non-science majors. Formerly
only honors students and science majors went
on field trips,
because
travel and access were
too difficult to arrange for the large classes of
non-science majors.
So far, seven environmental science ma-
jors have carried out independent study
projects at Fern Tor, forgoing travel to the
more
distant sites to which Dr. Feldman pre-
viously took his classes. "I love going up
there," says Carrie Swail '00, an environmen-
tal science major . "I have a favorite spot up
there, behind the Way House, on an overlook
tO
the
river. It's
very quiet and peaceful up
there. There's such a beautiful view of the
river." For their independent sLUdy project,
Ms. Swail and a classmate, Jill Christiano,
compared the habitats of ridge and ravine.
Ms. $wail spent about 30 hours during the fall
1999 semester at Fern Tor. But some of
the
time was spent taking pictures for her phot0g-
raphy class, she adds. "And on a nice day I'll
walk up there on the ridge to have some quiet,
'me' time."
Assistant Professor of Philosophy Warren
Neill says Fem Tor is an excellent locale for
the study of certain
philosophical
ideas about
how
people
gain knowledge. "Deep ecologists
often argue that one becomes aware of intrin-
sic value
in
nature not by philosophical dis-
cussion in a classroom but through direct
experience of nature," he says. "Even those
who are somewhat skeptical of these sorts of
claims can benefit greatly from considering
them while in
the
presence of nature." Dr.
Neill envisions teaching environmental ethics
in a natural setting such as Fem Tor.
It
is Fem Tor's natural setting and his wish
to protect it that
lead
Professor Tom Casey
to
spin a final yarn about St Ann's Hermitage.
"Legend has it that upon the renovation of the
carriage house many years ago, they came
upon a skeleton jammed between the walls,"
he relates. "After extensive investigation, it
was found to be the 1926 Dutchess County
hide-and-seek
champion."

The intrepid pollsters
of the Marist College
Institute for Public
Opinion went on the
road for the
New
Hampshire
and
New York presidential
primaries.
Here's what
they saw.
BY DR. LEE M. MIRINCDFF
11
e six weeks which began with our
rip
to
New
Hampshire
for
its
presi-
dential primary through the
New
York
presidential primary were, to
reprise
the
Beatie
favorite, a
"Hard
Day's Night."
The
combination of
hard-fought presidential
pri-
mary
contests and
the head Ii ne-grabbing
New
York
Senate
campaign kept
us jumping.
Dr.
Barbara Carvalho,
director of the
Marist
Col-
lege
Poll, and
I
spent 33 days in this
42-day
period
on
the
road. We came close to violating
our policy
of
never
passing ourselves on the
highway going
in the
opposite
direction.
There
were 75 TV interviews, 350 print and radio
interviews,
22 nights of
polling
and 9,699
voters interviewed. Nearly 200 Marisl College
students were involved
in
these projects.
Marist
Polls accurately chronicled
important
trends
while Marist students enjoyed a front-row
seat to
the
political process.
It was a
politically riveting
as well as an
exhilarating time. The sprint
kicked
off
with
a
"News Forum"
interview featuring
John
McCain
and
me
on NewsChannel 4. It was
taped on
the Friday
before the New
Hamp-
shire
primary
for a Sunday
broadcast.
First,
Gabe
Pressman
interviewed John McCain in
Manchester,
N.
H.,
while
l
eavesdropped
from
the New York City studio. Then political
correspondentjay DeDapper
interviewed
me
in
New York. Since
my
segment was to air
before
McCain's, I had to
resist
the temptation
to anticipate every answer McCain provided.
At one point
during
the McCain
interview
the
producer
in the control room enjoined me
through my
earpiece to jump
in.
So there
I
was, on a split screen with the
presidential
candidate,
cast in
the role
of TV
reporter.
I
clumsily
queried the senator about whether
he felt
at a disadvantage against the
Bush
machine
because he
was an insurgent, a po-
litical
newcomer on
the
New
Hampshire presi-
dential primary
scene. Lesson One of TV
journalism
is never ask a
question
that has an
obvious answer.
He
responded that
his new-
ness would
ultimately
turn out to
be
an ad-
vantage.
I really
pinned him on that one! It
was several hours
later
during my ride to New
Hampshire that the light bulb went on.
"Sena-
tor,"
I
asked while driving along the
Massa-
chusetts Turnpike,
"no
sitting
member
of
Congress, has
been
elected directly to the
White House since John
Kennedy
in 1960.
What special
problems
will you face in cap-
LUring the nomination even if you win the
New
Hampshire
primary?"
As we crossed
the
border into New
Hamp-
shire,
I
was paged by MIPO
program
assistant
Joan Nies. Her message said The New York
Times
op-ed section had accepted an article
I
had
submitted earlier
in the
week on
Hillary
Clinton and
the
women's vote. I was
lucky
not
to veer off
the
road at
the
good news.
For Barbara and
I,
this was
the
fourth
quadrennial
go-round stalking
the presiden-
tial candidates through
the
snows of New
Hampshire. ll
was the
first
such
trip
for MIPO
survey center director Kathleen Tobin Flusser.
For Nancy
Robinson
Miringoff, it was
the
fifth
New
Hampshire
sojourn; back in 1972, as
Nancy Robinson, she had
been
a New Hamp-
shire campaign volunteer.
On
three
of our four trips to New Hamp-
shire we never saw a snowflake,
but
with
competitive primaries on
both
the Republi-
can and
Democratic
side we did see oodles of
candidates and

into political celebrities every step of the way.

in the political rhetoric
was a surprising

Gore's performance beat the expectations.
He
was,
believe
il or not, engaging. My
tip-off
to the following
day's
outcome, a Gore vic-
tory, was
in the
calm
reaction
of Gore primary
campaign guru Tony Coelho as
he
perused
what appeared
to
be overnight poll numbers.
At one point a woman sining next

Kathleen stood
up
and disrupted the proceed-
ings.
She was

as a supporter of

LaRouche.
Although Gore handled
himself
deftly, we were a

this night were Lars Erik-

Daily
News, members of
the
Bradley
campaign team we
had
spotted earlier in the
day and 1998 Marist graduation speaker
Ray
Flynn, who, hosts a syndicated radio
program.
Many of you have seen
political
reports
from
this hotel,
although you probably
didn't
know it. In
the middle
of the structure
is
a
photo-op comprised of a New Hampshire-
like covernd
bridge,
a New England-looking
stream, an appropriately
placed
gazebo and
an assortment of waterfowl l1apping around.
A lineup of TV reporters
uses
this
backdrop
for their 5, 6, and 11 o'clock reports.
Primary night
is
the climax of
months
of
speculation. We set up camp at NBC's N.H.
outpost
to
monitor the exit
poll
and
be inter-
viewed
by
Gabe
Pressman
andJay De Dapper.
As McCain and Gore victories became appar-
ent, we hopped
down
the street for interviews
\vith CNN's Wolf Blitzer and New York l's
Dominic Carter.
We
left
New Hampshire Wednesday
morning, heading straight for Marist to start
our
post-New Hampshire primary
New York
poll.
We were greeted with the
news that
Hillary Clinton would formally announce
her
candidacy for the Senate race four days hence.
We quickly refocused our
poll questionnaire
on
Hillary
vs.
Rudy
Giuliani.
Coverage of our Friday
Marist Poll
proved
to be fodder for the media feeding frenzy.
Starting
with CBS's
"The
Early Show" with
Bryant Gumbel and
Jane
Clayson,
I
went on to
have a "seven-studio day"
including
taped
interviews
for NBC's
"Nightly
News with Tom
Brokaw" and ABC's
"World
News
Tonight
with Peter Jennings."
On Sunday,
Barbara
and I
left
for SUNY-
Purchase in
Westchester County for Hillary's
declaration
of candidacy. The event was more
like a declairation of
independence.
She broke
with her First Lady role
to become
a Senate
candidate. She demonstrated independence
from her husband, who sat
nearby
and was
literally spe:echless, and offered themes posi-
tioning
herself as a
new
Democrat, a
depar-
ture from familiartraditional
Democratic
Party
positions.
While
,it
this event, my pager clocked
in.
It
was
"The
Today Show." Could I appear the
next morning? There we were
in
Purchase, 60
miles
south of Poughkeepsie, without a change
of clothes. Our
route took
us from Purchase lo
Poughkeepsie
to
reload
and then
back
down
to New York City.
Being a guest on
"The
Today Show" was a
different ball game. As we entered
the
green-
room at 6:45 a.m.,
I
was
relieved
of my suit
jacket for pressing. Greenrooms are places
to
cross
paths
with unusual people. This morn-
ing
was
no
exception. Other guests included
Hillary's campaign manager, Bill
de
Blasio,
the
attorney Johnnie Cochran of O.j. fame
("if
il doesn't fit, you must acquit") and
Charmian Carr, who played Lies! in the 1965
movie
"The
Sound of Music"
("Sixteen
Going
on Seventeen").
The moment I'm ushered into makeup
and
then
onto
the
set
is
the
most
intense.
Barbara
describes
the feeling as when you take
your
dog
to the vet and the vet's assistant
escorts your pooch away, leaving
you
holding
only
the leash.
On this occasion my
"goodbye"
consisted of
the not-so-reassuring
out-of-body
comment to Barb,
"I
hope Lee shows up or
we're
both in
a
lot
of trouble."
Fortunately things went smoothly. Matt
Lauer,
Al Roker and
I
had shared numerous
sets on NewsChannel 4
before
their move to
the
national network. My favorite part was the
graphic plastering
"Marist
College" across the
screen and into 7 million households simulta-
neously.
Later that afternoon Catherine Crier in-
tenriewed me on her new Court TV program.
Then it was
back
to Poughkeepsie for what
turned out to be a much shorter than expected
stay. TV producers typically inquire about

In the case of a close
election, a fun night can
turn into a
nail-biter.
availability for
that
day's
program
following
their
mid-morning
meeting.
"The Today Show"
on Monday had caught many a producer's eye
so
that
on Tuesday, the
phone
at Marist was
ringing
off the hook.
It
was back to New York
City.
Our first stop was WABC-TV and our
second, NewsChannel 4. (We were on the
evening news
broadcast
every
night that
week.)
Our
third
stop was CNN for a live interview
by
Judy Woodruff for
"Inside
Politics.• While
waiting in the greenroom at CNN, my pager
buzzed.
It was Gabe Pressman's
Marist
intern,
Daniella Femia.
It's not unusual for
us
to cross
paths with
Marist
interns as we
travel
around
New York
City.
Whether
it's
Fox News Chan-
nel, the ABC
polling
unit or NewsChannel 4,
familiar faces from campus
pop up
in exciting
places.
Daniella was calling because Gabe
needed
additional
tape.
And quickly. I was going on-
air so
Barbara
hailed a cab and sped crosstown
to
the interview, just making deadline.
The
next couple of weeks were packed
solid with
polls
and a daily stream of print,
radio and TV interviews about
Hillary
and
Rudy and
the
upcoming Super Tuesday
presi-
dential
primary.
It's
not
surprising for New
York to offer several twists to a presidential
campaign. Campaign 2000 was
no
exception.
For
the
first time in memory, both political
parties held statewide contests. The Demo-
crats offered
the
early expectation that Bill
Bradley might use his home court to his
advantage. On
the
Republican side we learned
that in
New York, an
"open"
primary meant
not
that there
was crossover voting as in other
states but
that
more than one person was
allowed on the ballot.
Each primary season provides a few tid-
bits
that
we carry to the next go-round. This
time, we witnessed
the
dilemma of
the
insur-
gents and
how difficult it
was for them
LO
upset
frontrunners.
Bill Bradley
failed to
re-
spond
quickly
and effectively to Al Gore's
attacks and got clobbered.
Barbara
and
I
saw
firsthand evidence of
Bradley's
sub par perfor-
mance at the Democratic debate at the Apollo
Theatre on Feb. 21. Sitting amidst
250
politi-
cal
reporters
and spinners in the
media hold-
ing room across
the
street from the theatre, we
watched his lackluster effort against Al Gore.
On
the
GOP side,
John
McCain went on
the
counteroffensive
but
in so
doing lost
his
special appeal. McCain's descent was
detailed
in our poll. On
the
Wednesday morning be-
fore the March 7 New York primary,
McCain
led
Bush by 7 percent. White Catholic Repub-
licans,
the single largest voting group
in
the
N.Y. GOP, felt Bush was
injecting too
much
religion
into
politics. By
the weekend, follow-
ing
McCain's misguided counterattack, which
included
references to Pat Robertson and Jerry
Falwell,
these
voters were divided over who
was the culprit. Bush now
led by
5 points, a
lead
he
did
not surrender.

Our ability
to
conduct polls and release
information literally
overnight
kept
Marist in
the campaign mix. As interest in the primary
grew, so
did
attention to the Marist Poll. We
started polling nightly approximately
two
weeks
before the
March 7
primary.
Kathleen
Tobin
Husser
made
sure
the
evening polling
sessions
were
humming.
Joan
Nies
quarterbacked our press release distribution
and processed
the
barrage of
media
inquiries.
Computer whiz Steve Conley kept our cut-
ting-edge
technology clicking.
On f:riday, March
3,
after
days
of
major
coverage of Marist Polls,
Barbara
and I had
another seven-studio
day
to
coincide with a
poll release updating the
primary
horse race
and a panel
presentation
at
the
New
York
City
Arts Club. At
the day's
end, following our
primary
night rehearsal at NewsChannel
4,
Barbara amd
I
were walking a
long
6th Avenue.
We felt a little
disappointed that
Fox News
Channel hadn't
called
during the
day,
unlike
on many previous
days,
thereby giving
us
a
record
eight appearances. No sooner
had
we
expressed
this
when we
looked
across the
street and saw
the
message board outside the
Fox stud'ios highlighting
the latest
Marist
Poll.
The dection
eve poll is always the most
exciting
for
pre-election
pollsters.
The
unde-
cided vote typically is low and voters have
clarified in
their own minds their
intentions.
When
Barbara
analyzes election eve
poll
data,
she knows that
the
electorate is in there some-
where.
The
trick
is finding
the right model so
that
the final tracking is
accurate.
You
are only
as good as your
last
poll.
While I spent
Monday
in New York City
on a
lengthy
round of interviews, our
Marist
Poll
team
completed this final tracking in
Poughkeepsie.
It
was about
midnight
when
Barbara, Kathleen and
I drew
our conclusions
via telephone about
this
final poll and shaped
the
release for primary
day.
On Tuesday
Bar-
bara and
I
met at NewsChannel
4 midday
to
prepare for that evening's TV coverage.
The poll of
record
on
primary night
is the
exit poll. Conducted
by the
networks, exit
polls
provide projections of winners and
los-
ers and
insight
into
the
reasons underly'ing
voter choices. Our
primary
night
team
at
NewsChannel
4 consisted
of
Barbara,
NewsChannel
4
correspondent Ralph Penza
and producer Dianne Drummey, Marist
in-
terns
Daniella
Femia and Matt Daigle and me.
We all worked under
the
direction of execu-
tive producer
John Sparks.
Barbara and
I
combed the exit polls to
develop news reports for the station's election
coverage. On this night
there
were eight seg-
ments. The station does not project a winner
without our go-ahead.
In the
case of a close
election, like Dinkins-Giuliani in 1993 or
New
Jersey
governor Christie Whitman's
re-
election
in
1997, a
fun
night can
tum into
a
nail-biter.
I
always leave a coin on the desk of
the
news
director,
Paula Madison, during the
afternoon, to
be flipped
later in
the
evening
just in
case it's needed. Fortunately the
races
were not particularly close
this
time and the
coin remained
unused. I
can assure you
it'll
be
ready
for the Senate
race
in
the
fall.
The curtain came down on this chapter
in
the life of the Marist Poll at
the Inner
Circle
dinner
in New York City
the
Saturday follow-
ing
the
primary.
This
roast
of politicians
by
the press was the first
face-to-face
meeting of
Hillary and
Rudy
since she announced
her
candidacy.
It
was also an opportunity for
Barbara and
me
LO
come
full
circle, from
the
Marist students who conducted our
polls,
to
the Marist interns working with New
York
City media,
to the many
Marist alumni suc-
cessfully
pursuing
careers in
the media
who
were attending
this
gala event. As we
look
ahead
LO
the
general election in
the
fall, it's
hard
LO
imagine
that this spring
may
have
been
only the exhibition season.
The
presi-
dential and Senate contests are
destined to
create an unmatched
media
extravaganza-
unless, of course, there is a Subway
Series
in
New York, whereupon we will
also poll
on
whether your favorite
team
is
the
Yankees or
the
Mets.

The
men's
and women's swimming and div-
ing
programs again captured the

by 2000 MAAC Swimmer of

Surprise of the Year
The women's lacrosse team was the surprise
of the year as the Red Foxes, in only
their
fourth )tear of play at the varsity level, opened
the season with an 0-4 record and finished the
year with a 7-7 mark. Included in the turn-
around was a 5-1 record in conference play to
finish tied with Manhattan for first
in
the
conference regular-season standings. Led by
all-MA.AC selection Pam Brown
'01,
who fin-
ished the season ranked 17th nationally in
scoring, Marist entered the inaugural MAAC
women's lacrosse tournament as the top seed
before
falling to Niagara in
the
opening round
of the tournament.
The men's
lacrosse
team also had one of its
best seasons
in
recent history. Third-year head
coach Matt Cameron
led
the
Red Foxes to a 6-

that included
a 5-4 fourth-
place

in
the

ings
and a berth

ended
the
season on a high note. They fin-
ished 16

in
the nation in the Intercollegiate
Rowing Association
championships
in
Camden, N.j.
"I feel that each program elevated
its level
of play and competition
this
year," says Tim
Murray. "However, as well as we competed
athletically, I feel
that
our student-athletes
need to be commended for their efforts in the
classroom."
Sixty-nine Marist student-athletes earned
MAAC Academic All-Star accolades, which
recognize outstanding athletic and academic
achievement. The qualifying winner needs to
contribute significantly to his or her
team
while maintaining a 3.2 cumulative grade
point average.
