march gets big crowd by Bill DeGennaro

Leaders of the Progressive Coali­tion and Black Student Union ex­pressed surprise at the turnout for the march against racism and apar­theid they sponsored last Friday.

The protesters, who marched in the rain across campus, numbered approximately 90 by the demonstration's end in the Campus Center.

Marist President Dennis Murray joined the march after receiving a petition calling for the college to release a position statement on its financial holdings in corporations that do business in South Africa.

Junior Joe Concra, a spqkeman for the Coalition, said he was im­pressed with the turnout and the fact that several students from Vassar College and Dutchess Com­munity College also participated in

„'the march, -"ftv/as more than I ex- -• peeled;1 mo'rc'trTaril wouldHave'ex-pected in dry^ weather*"'he-said. "To have 90people;is more than

encouraging. Senior Alvin Patrick of the Black

Student Union also expressed sur­prise. "At Marist, to mobolize five people is a lot. To mobolize 80 or 90 is overwhelming."

Patrick said that Murray had agreed the day before to join the march. .

The petition was signed by almost 500 people. Concra presented the petition to Murray in front of Greystone amid chants of "Death to apartheid! Justice now! " The marchers also played "Get Up, Stand Up" and "Africa Unite," protest songs by Bob Marley, the late reggae artist, on a portable tape player.

"We want a policy statement because, basically, Murray is ignor­ing us. As of yet,1 he has not made a policy statement about his.posi-

Marist goes to court Tuesday for Bennett hearing by Denise Wilsey

A hearing to determine whether Marist can apply for a share of $340,000 in donations left to the now-defunct Bennett College is • scheduled for March 4, ".-.-

Marist officials will present legal documents to support their case, according to Anthony Cernera, ac­ting vice president for. college, advancement:. i N^: :-";;;-'';-

" The documents either build the case or there is no case at all. They show we have aright to a hearing,"

he said this week. Bard College will legally oppose

Marist's attempt to le-open the December hearing that awarded Bard and Pace University $166,250 each from the Millbrook school's endowment • money, according David Fishlow, deputy press secretary.. Millbrook Prep School received $7,500. : ":;

; The state attorney, general's of­fice is holding up distribution of the funds pending the outcome of Marist's appeal. •-'..;.

The documents, asking the court

to show cause why the case should not be re-opened, include affidavits from President Dennis Murray and Donald Calista, an associate pro­fessor of sociology at Marist and one of the eight faculty'members hired after Bennett closed in 1977.

Both affidavits include Marist's two main reasons for filing an ap­peal. Despite assurances by representatives of the Attorney General's Office that they would be informed before the awarding of Bennett endowment funds, Marist

was not contacted. Also, when Bennett closed^ Marist took on ap­proximately 90 of its students, 8 faculty^ members and its entire fashion design-program.

While Cernera. said that Marist's hot being informed was the main issue to be considered, he also added;-We just ask that justice be done. The college that did the most should be considered."

After-Bennett closed, Calista, one of the two Bennett faculty members still at Marist, made ar­

rangements, with Bernard Toomin, the assistant attorney general in the Charitable Trust Bureau. Calista wrote to Toomin several times and met him in Albany that year, he said:

Marist knew of Bennett's en­dowment and Calista followed steps advised by Toomin to make sure the college was notified, accor-dinc to Cernera.

Toomin twice refused to answer any'questions concerning the case when contacted at his New York City office.

writing to pick up girls. "After I graduated college, 1

got a job as a security guard at Bennett College in Millbrook," said Bozzone, an adjunct in­structor of English at Marist

-and director of this week's pro­duction of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest."

"I had never written before, but I used to try to impress girls by telling them 1 was an author.

"One day, a girl asked me to bring in a piece of work, so I had to run home and write a short story-" He added, "I kind of liked it, so I stuck with it."

Since then, Bozzone has writ­ten several plays. One of his latest, "Rose Cottages," will be produced off-Broadway at the

_ Ensemble Studio Theatre for

three weeks beginning April 1. Bozzone spoke to The Circle

in the Marist Theater during a break in rehearsal for "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Between hands of a poker game with some members of the cast, a game which has become a rehearsal break ritual, Bozzone explained his past and future goals.

Prior to "Rose Cottages," two of Bozzone's other plays, "Buck Fever" and "Saxophone Music," were both very suc­cessful, he said.

"Buck Fever" was produced ; at the Philadelphia Festival Theatre, a major regional theater and member of the League of Regional Theatres. According to Bozzone, it receiv­ed great reviews. "Saxophone

Computer post remains vacant by Len Johnson -

. The hiring of a hew director.of the Marist Computer Center has been delayed by intense competi­tion from corporations and other colleges, according to-Ed Waters, vice president for administration and finance.... - -;

The position was left vacant in' June 1985, when Director Cecil Denney took a job at the Univer­sity of Texas. Jim Falanga held the position of acting director until Feb. 14, when he left to take a posi­tion with the Adesse Corp. in Dan-bury, Conn.

Waters, who replaced Falanga as acting director of the Computer Center, said the search for someone as qualified for the job as Denney has been very difficult. Although there have been more than 30 ap­plicants. Waters said, the college was satisfied with none.

The job requires not only technical expertise, he said, but also the ability to act as an ad­

ministrator and to support the academic, functions of the Com­puter Center. "We need someone who can provide leadership to the institution as a whole," he said. "That kind of person is tough to find."

Waters said he feels larger col­leges and corporations, which can sometimes offer much more money than Marist, are making the search more difficult. "Everyone is pirating computer center directors these days," he said. "It's very hard to get people because salaries are very competitive.''

Waters said he believes the posi­tion will be filled soon, despite dif­ficulties. The college has placed advertisements in The New York Times and has contacted people in the computer field in search of ap­plicants, he said.

Future expansion of the Com­puter Center, which is now under consideration, according to Waters, will further complicate the

director's job. The Computer Center now con­

tains more than $7 million in IBM -equipment, and offers more than 100 "mainframe" terminals, and nearly 50 "PC's" to students.

. There are also computers available to faculty and admin-sistration through the Computer Center.

The demand on the computer system is growing quickly as more students use it, however, and ex­pansion will probably be necessary in the near future in order to keep up with demand, according to Waters.

"We have encouraged students to 'get into' computing, and they have," he said. "That creates a problem — but it's a good problem."

Marist is committed to making computers more available to students, and is trying to integrate computers into all courses of study, said Waters.

March. Continued from page 1 being. I have to make a stand. It's a matter of humanity," Casey said.

After the 35-minute march, most of the protesters attended speeches in Fireside Lounge, including com­ments by guest speaker Sipho Seepe, an assistant professor of physics and student at the Renn-selaer Polytechnic Institute who is a resident of Soweto, South Africa.

Seepe said after his speech on the history, ecomomics and misconceptions of apartheid that embarassment is an effective method for the continuing fight against apartheid.

"Reach as many students as you can. There is no way you can reach the trustees, you must embarass them," he said. He also suggested writing letters to local nespapers and politicians.

"The mass has the power," Seepe said.

Junior Charles Fleming, a member of the Black Student Union, delivered a short speech urging students to continue their fight against apartheid. "We must show our opposition to corporate businesses' investing in South Africa, which are supporting the apartheid system and hindering liberation," he said.

Patrick then spoke briefly on what he said was the political apathy and racism at Marist. "Most Marist students don't understand anything unless the globe is put on their heads...unless they realize it can hurt them as in­dividuals," he said. "Apartheid can."

Junior Kevin Otto, who helped in organizing the Progressive Coali­tion, said he wanted a meeting with the Marist Board of Trustees. "Hopefully," he said, "the next, stop will be a meeting with the Board of Trustees on any holdings or investments they may have in South Africa."

Ryan: Students' Day to focus on career topics by Lisa Ash

Students' Day, formerly Dean's Convocation Day, is a time when our motivations, aspirations and career guidance will be considered, said Council of Student Leaders President Suzafine Ryan.

As representatives of the student body, the Council of Student Leaders has met with ad­ministrators and faculty to develop a program for Students' Day that will be of interest to the Marist community, said Ryan.

Ryan said a needs assessment test was issued to the community in order to find out what topics peo­ple Would like to see discussed on Students' Day. She said the results of the test indicated that "College, Knowledge & Jobs" would be the topic of the day.

Students' Day will be looked at more as an avenue for the students to learn and enrich their knowledge, said Ryan. Dean's Convocation Day was not focused on students' needs, it didn't motivate people and student atten­dance was low over the past few years, said Ryan.

Ryan said the decision to change the day came in October of 1985.

"We decided to change the name of the day because the connotation of Dean's Convocation Day has 'black memories'." She added that the Council of Class Officers thought of the name for the day.

The format of the day has been changed into more of a workshop day for students, said Ryan. Following two key speakers, break­out sessions will be formed.

Possible topics for the sessions are: the job search, self-management, how to write a resume and coping with stress.

Ryan said Student's Day will be held on April 15 and will begin at about 9:30 a.m. The day will end at approximately 2:30 p.m. with the Council of Student Leaders giv­ing a tea at 3 p.m.

Courses to focus on women by Mary Ann Dolan

A women studies program is be­ing proposed for the fall 1986 semester, said Division of Humanities Chairperson Nadine Foley last week.

The proposed courses would be an alternative to following the pre­sent core system. It would enable

; students to focus on courses specifically about women and at the same time fufill the core requirements.

"The program will follow a track or thread of interest in the core requirements," said Foley. According to Foley, this program is being developed from responses and requests of women students. Currently, 51 percent of the Marist student body are women. With the emergence of more women students at Marist," this program

\would address their needs and per­sonal growth "and demonstrate women's roles in history and socie-

. ty, she said. .. The proposed courses include: "The Emergence of Women in the Western Civilization" or "History of American Feminism," •"Philosophy of Women," "American Women Writers," "Psychology- ands Sociology of Women," "Women in Business " and "Women in Advertising."

Roffey-Mitchell: From Australia to Marist by Kegina Rossi

The newest member of the com­munication arts faculty says he got into communications through the back door.

Napier Roffey-MitchelP, a visiting associate professor who fill­ed a position left vacant when Joseph Coppolino resigned in January, began his career as a zoologist working with camels in the Australian desert.

While a zoologist, Rof fey-Mitchell landed a job at the Australian Embassy in London making audiorvisuals on the Australian environment for poten­tial visitors to his home country.

To do this he traveled through the Australian countryside filming wildlife. "The photographer wasn't always around to see a camel give birth, so 1 learned to use the equipment myself," he said. Thus, he became a science jour­nalist— his entry into the com­munications field. . Roffey-Mitchell said at times he got very lonely working in the Australian outback. "I'd go six weeks at a time without seeing a single human," he said.

But he added that it was very peaceful because there were no dangerous wild animals and the skies were perfectly clear at night — there was no pollution.

Roffey-Mitchell has bachelor's

V degrees in agricultural science, film

video and zoology. He also has a background in computers, having done his master's degree in rria'n-

1 computer communication, the study of how man communicates with computers. .

"I'm a big computer buff," he said, adding that he experiments at home with computer animation. He also is interested in interfacing computers and video, which-he feels has great potential.

"The computers will do all the boring, repetitive jobs so there will be room for more creative people," he said.

^ Roffey-M'fchell has been an associate professor in communica­tions at Queensland Institute of Technology in Australia. To com­pare Australian students with American students, he said, "1 was used to students working a bit harder there."

He also said that invAustralia not as .many people can go on to col­lege because only the top students are chosen to go to the universities.

Because only the best students are able to attend, the standard isn't as hard, he said. Also,'school in Australia is free.

In 1985, Roffey-Mitchell took a trip around the world with his wife, primarily traveling through south­east Asia. In Bali, he slept in thatched-roof huts. , He said he traveled the "student way" rather than as a tourist. This allowed him to see things a tourist

normally wouldn't and also to spend less money.

After completing the trip, Roffey-Mitchell moved to Kingston, N.Y. He became an ad­junct faculty member at Marist in the fall 1985 semester, teaching "World Literature." He is current­ly teaching "TV Production" and

"Advanced Radio Production," and is also working on his Ph.D. in visual communication theory.

Roffey-Mitchell said he is look­ing forward to .the opening of the Lowell Thomas Communications Center and getting the equipment up to broadcast standards.

Spring break spots aim to curb drinking . DAYTONA BEACH, FL (CPS) — The capitals of spring break madness — Daytona Beach and Fort Lauderdale — are trying to change their images.

Both communities are sponsor­ing organized-activities aimed"' somehow moderating student

(drinking during the spring break in­vasions of March and April.

"Whatjhas gone on before was a Sodom'"and Gomorrah affair,"

says Jerry Nolan, spokesman for Daytona's National Collegiate Sports Festival, a competition aim­ed to draw students into activities more constructive than with those which Sodom, Gomorrah, Daytona and Fort Lauderdale generally are. associated. v>

"The festival demonstrates we .'•;• are getting away from the tarnish-, ed image of the past," he says.

But these Florida vacation spots

may hot have a choice. This is the first spring break dur­

ing which the state's new 21-year-old minimum drinking age law is in effect, and rising insurance costs . are forcing communities to find, ways to minimize the wild partying that has led to injuries and even

'•deaths in the past.••••• •'•:.. ..:• . >j> Fort Lauderdale, for one, is

.sponsoring an "Olympics" featur­ing volleyball, a tug-of-war and

various dance and trivia contests. City officials actively are

discouraging excessive drinking and have banned alcohol consump­tion on the strip along the beach. . • Daytona Beach hopes to attract up to 20,000 students to its first Na­tional Collegiate Sports Festival..

Mathematician remembers his Marist days Editor's Note: This is the fifth in a series

of "Alumni Profiles." by Sue Hermans

When James Callahan was a Marist stu­dent, tuition cost $600 a year and the stu- • dent body was so small the theater group chose to produce "Waiting for Godot," a play with only four roles.

"The college had 100 people when I was a sophomore," said Callahan, Marisf class of '62. "We had a rare opportunity to do many interesting things because everything got done by a few people. We started The Record (precursor to The Circle) in 1960 and published the first yearbook in 1961."

Callahan, now a 45-year-old math pro­fessor at Smith College in North Hampton, Mass.; credits former Marist President Linus Foy, who served from 1958 to 1979 , with much of the early development of the col­lege, including crew, on which Callahan rowed. :

But the college president also played a per­sonal role in Callahan's education. Callahan was a math major who, like Foy, went on to earn a Ph.D. from the Courant Institute at New York University. Since then, Callahan's career has taken him to the halls of Harvard and Smith.

"Linus was a strong influence on me in developing my interest and attitude about math," Callahan said in a recent telephone interview. "Math, as it was taught then, was abstract and mechanistic. Linus used applica­tions to show the connection between math and the world of science."

Foy also gave Callahan his first taste of teaching while still a student at Marist. Callahan held a weekly review session and organized a class in the evenings for the students having trouble understanding the material, and he found he loved teaching.

"I enjoy explaining things," he said. "What's needed is to be puzzled yourself. You have to have the experience of being confused to know what others are going through."

After Callahan received his doctorate in 1967, he taught at Harvard for three years.

In 1970 he began teaching at Smith College, where he says he is still very happy. Smith has a student population of 2,500 women and is located seven miles from Callahan's Amherst, Mass., home.

- "• He teaches a wide range of math courses.

including calculus, physics and relativity. He said he tries to teach the courses in a way that. gives them broad appeal.

" Intro to Calculus is interesting to teach because incoming students are more willing to take risks and it's easier to stimulate their interest," he said. "I like talking about ideas better than doing the mechanics, although you have to do that too."

Callahan denies having an inherent talent for the subject. In fact, he readily admits there are many aspects of it he does not understand.

"I am visual in the way I think," he said. "I can't remember formulas. There are chunks of math 1 can't get into my brain — I have no natural inclination towards it."

His interest in math developed during high school when someone gave him a four volume set of "The World of Mathematics." He found himself reading the books often, and also taught himself calculus because there wasn't much offered in high school beyond the basic courses.

Callahan cannot envision a time when he will not be poring over isosceles triangles and differential equations. Math is not just his profession, it is his hobby as well.

"Math is'something you can occupy your time with as much as you wish," he said. "The limitation is the need to do other things, like make a living."

Even retirement to Callahan means only stopping teaching, not stopping doing math, he said. And when retirement time does roll

around, he would like to move to London. He has spent two out of the past 10 years

on sabbatical in London with his wife Felicity and their children, Michael, 16; Marijke, 13; and Caitlin, 7.

Callahan said that although Paris is the world center of math activity, both Britain and France have an intellectual community that is more cohesive than what exists in the U.S. — scholars there know what others are doing outside their own fields. .

"You find an emphasis in.Europe on that kind of work because there is a broader com­munity of people interested in ideas," he said. "The intellectual life has a different flavor."

The family's last trip was in the spring of 1981. They enjoyed living in England, he said, and while the country's notoriously dismal climate might dampen the spirit of some, Callahan considered it a plus.

"England is great for doing math," he remarked. "There is nothing to tempt you to go outside."

When Callahan is not doing math, he might be found doing construction work. Two and a half years ago, he and his family moved to a house closer to the center of Amherst.

He and Felicity designed and built a south-facing, solar equipped three story addition to the house. They hired someone to dig the hole and pour the foundation, but Callahan said he and his wife did all but the messiest work themselves.

"It was enjoyable to learn," he said. "Working with subcontractors was in­teresting. I've run into some intense and pet­ty people in academia. These guys were de­cent and generous people — so different from what I've come to see as common."

In spite of the fact that construction work is far removed from math — or perhaps because of it — Callahan finds tremendous satisfaction in it.

"It's easier to get results with building," he said. "You can sit at a desk for eight hours making pencil marks and not get anywhere. It's tempting to put aside my own work and 20 do some work on the house."

Four national corporations — including Walt Disney — and about 30 Daytona businesses are supporting the eventsr

Nolan hopes the festival also will encourage more corporations to support intramural programs on campuses. '

But no one pretends the activities aren't intended to moderate par-tiers' lust for alcohol.

"We hope the level of drinking will be lower than in the past," Daytona Chamber of Commerce representative Betty Wilson says.

Daytona also will mount a poster and radio campaign to promote

Housing proposal set to go by Gina Disanza

The financial readjustment pro­posal for students inconvenienced by housing problems has "been finalized and will be submitted to Chief Financial Officer Anthony Campilii this week, according to Council of Student Leaders Presi­dent Suzanne Ryan.

Ryan said the committee met earlier this week to "slightly reword" the proposal. She said there was no change in the finan­cial figures released last week.

The proposal calls for students in the F Sectjpn of the Garden Apartments to receive two-thirds of the per-day room charge for each day spent in alternate housing. The per-day room rate has been set at S10.75.

All students in the Garden Apartments, including the students in F Section, would receive S75 for inconveniences caused by lack of exterior lighting, inadequate fire alarms,and lack of walkways. The refund also provides for interrup­tions caused by incomplete con­struction in the area.

Students living in the Townhouses, North Road apart­ments and Champagnat Hall who had an extra person in their room during the alternate housing period would receive one-third of the per-day room rate for each day they had an extra roommate.

Bennett bucks When Marist first announced in December that the college was

thinking about asking a Dutchess County court to reconsider the distribution of the $340,000 in the Bennett College endowment fund, many people were skeptical about the college's attempt to lay claim on funds that had already been given to other schools.

The initial negative reaction, no doubt, stemmed from early news reports saying that Marist was basing its case on the fact that the college had missed legal notices announcing the availabili­ty of the funds. The notices were printed in the Poughkeepsie Journal and the Taconic Newspapers. To many, it appeared that Marist, having missed an.opportunity, was trying to get special consideration.

However, more recent information released by Marist officials suggests that the college actually has a much stronger case to make for asking for the reconsideration. In particular, college documents show that state officials had failed to live up to an agreement to notify the college in advance of the hearing at which the money was distributed.

Marist is also pointing out that the institution carried on a part of Bennett College after it closed by taking on Bennett faculty, its fashion design program and some of its students.

With Marist's documentation released to the public now, we hope that first impressions will not linger.

While we initially identified a concern for Marist's public im­age, we believe that the new information from the college strengthens both Marist's case and its public standing.

Apathy To the Editor:

The highest point in my college career came last Friday, March 21, when I marched against apartheid and racism. As well as actively par­ticipating in the fight for freedom for all people, I thought that we had combatted apathy at Marist when I saw at l&st 80 people march together for a common cause. This march was one large step out of the

• Marist "bubble," and 1 thought, one large step toward curing apathy on campus. . However, I found that apathy

still prevails at Marist when I at­tended the Beach Party sponsored

by the Class of 1,988 the following night. Only a handful of people were there. I do not know about • the North End, butthis event was adequately publicized in Cham-pagnat. There were flyers all over the Campus Center. Where was everyone? Was it because there was no alcohol? Did people have bet­ter places to go?

I was disappointed in the students who did not attend the mixer and this clearly demonstrates the apathy that exists at Marist. Wake up Marist. Apathy kills. •

The blue-ribbon panel of presidential speech writers conven­ed in mid-afternoon one day, with instructions to come up with a ma­jor foreign policy statement for the president by that evening.

They were told only that Ronald Reagan was finally prepared to speak out publicly on Angola, where guerrilla fighters backed by the South African government

. were seeking to overthrow the Soviet-backed regime. After weeks of behind-the-scenes lobbying and intensive suppression of leaks that might spill out of the Pentagon, the time was right. The time was now.

The president's top team called roll — Mickey, Skippy, Wally, Ricky, Slimey, Petey and Dopey, all present and accounted for —-and set out to find Angola in an atlas.

"Angola ..' ... . Angola . . . Angola," mused Ricky. "Can't

Angola in Sunday school," said Skippy. "But I never thought it would amount to anything; it's just full of gorillas and people eating rice. What are we worried about it for?" -.

"The president says we have to support the freedom fighters there," said Mickey, "and that's good enou—"

"Angola. Here it is," said Ricky. "It's sort of near South Africa, and sort of in the middle. I don't get it: We haven't finished the job in Nicaragua or Lebanon yet, and we're starting in with something else."

"The whole thing is," ,Waily reported authoritatively, "that Jonas Savimbi is the best bet we've got anywhere for a decent revolu­tion. Look at his credentials. You'll see."

Dopey extracted the file on Jonas Savimbi from the metal cabinet, and proceeded to read out

Savimbi's resume, which had been sent to the president a year earlier accompanied by an attractive, professionally- made cover letter, three writing samples and a full-color glossy photo revealing a dashing, smiling mug who resembl­ed John Wayne after a long day in the dusty trenches. -,

ship skills, virulently anti-communist, schooled extensively in economics, the arts and counterin-surgency, commitment to the land and people of Angola unqiiestion-. ed and unparalleled."

"Sounds like he checks out fine," said Wally.

"And for references, he's got P.W. Botha, president of South Africa; Rep. Jack Kemp, Republican of New York; and the late Mao Tse-tung."

"Wait a minute," said Petey in­credulously. "Mao Tse-tung?"

"Yes, Savimbi happened to spend a few years in Red China," said-Wally. "But, quite obviously, that shouldn't be a major stumbl­ing block in our dealings with him." . . v-

"What you're saying," said Ricky, "is that we're supposed to write a speech in support of a black guy — he is black, right?"

Dopey nodded.. "A black guy who gets money

for his revolution from a white supremacist regime, learned com­munism from Chairman Mao and — wasn't he hanging around the Kremlin at one time?"

Dopey nodded again. "And one of the things Savimbi

wants to do is blow up American oil rigs in Angola, because he says they're in cahoots with the Marx­

ist government," said Skippy. "Ever hear of Fidel Castro?"

smirked Slimey. "What's Castro got to do with

it?" asked Wally. "Castro got a whole lot of

money from us in the '50s until he overthrew Batista, then he turns around arid'sayshe's pinko \ .thanks for the loot,; afid starts.installing Soviet missiles. This guy Savimbi sounds like he's another Castro."

"But the president says we can trust him," insisted Wally. "Why, he even had Savimbi at the White House a few weeks ago, and he didn't steal any china or silverware, or nothing!"

Just then, to the relief of the har­ried word-mincers, Communica­tions Director Pat Buchanon arriv­ed with a spring in his gait and a trip on his tongue. ....-"•'

"Ye, who work thus, now tell me then: what words hast thou for the president?" • >. "Not much, yet, sir," :said . Ricky. "This is all very confusing. Could we have an extension?"

"Anon, thou jester! The presi­dent waits not. Speak riot of trial; what have you got?"

"Well, we can't decide if we should present Mr. Savimbi as a disgruntled exs;ommie with the support of the rural population, or as a life-long democrat whose credentials are above reproach."

"In the jargon of politics, it mat­ters not which. Simply a maid with a broom may,betoken a witch. So the devil's apprentice, though a scurrilous fiend, may be painted as a friend in need."

"But you've got to admit," said Petey, "that Savimbi is not exact­ly one of the Founding Fathers."

Once more Buchanon, thus: "The people, you should know, are most easily led when the enemy is known to be better off dead. So it matters not, then, the result of your choice, whether Savimbi becomes Moses or merely Betsy Ross."

The speech-writing crew soaked in the beneficence of their boss, and began typing the speech.

In pursuit of excellence.. .and a job by Ray Wells

A Circle editorial last year lamented the seeming lack of atten­tion to the traditional liberal arts

. disciplines at Marist College and pondered the question whether those students who persisted in them had anything of value upon graduation. The value of one's degree has been a common concern for college students, even those in the professional/technical curricula who worry about employers "knowing" Marist when their educational background is com­pared by recruiters with candidates from "better known" schools.

What can 1 do? How can I com­pete? For today's student in a rapidly changing, competitive world, these are justifiable con: cerns. The time and money in­vested is substantial and students expect fulfillment of the unwritten psychological contract between them and the institution... that first job. The beginning of a fulfilling career and the road to happiness is expected.. Each year as -I listen to the concerns and expectations of a new graduating class, 1 again con­front the issues of employability — What makes a Marist student an

excellent candidate for employ­ment? How can students best prepare themselves for the job market?

A student body poll would un­doubtedly reveal that the "right" major with some experience is the best route to success in the job world. Although knowledge gain­ed in the study of a particular ma­jor can be a strong ally in a com­petitive job market, it is but one apsect of the student's preparation. It combines with other facets of the student's college experience to develop the capabilities and per­sonal qualities sought by employers. The concept of employability is much more than a consideration of major field of study, it involves development of work-relevant skills throughout the college experience.

This experience provides students with the opportunity to develop and grow as individuals within three spheres of involve­ment: academic study, work ex­perience and social activities. As with all experiences in life, each area offers an opportunity to learn, develop competencies and achieve. Careful planning by the student, begun in the freshman or

sophomore year, can incorporate .varied coursework, job exposure and organizational involvement in a well-rounded package..

.The unfortunate reality is that most students do not recognize the potential within such planning or

. its relevance to their employabili­ty. This is especially true in the

• academic realm, where the mere completion of a career-oriented major is viewed as adequate — academic excellence in the pursuit of that major is often a secondary consideration. Lack of effort when taking core courses is the norm rather than a rigorous attempt to grapple with the methodologies and concepts in these courses.

Pursuit of academic excellence has the potential of a two-fold payoff for students in the job market. Good grades do carry meaning for employers. They are perceived as being somewhat in­dicative of intellectual capability. More importantly, they connote positive work qualities such as am­bition, resourcefulness, goal orien­tation and perseverance. A resume displaying a high G.P.A. begins the hiring process in a highly favorable light for the candidate.

Good grades are the quantifiable measures of success in the academic

A portrait of today's society

by Andrea Kincs

: A little; oyer, three .years ago, the '"'cyanide poisoning of Tylenol cap-, sules in the Chicago area caused panic across the nation. The makers of Tylenol.quickly recalled Tylenoi from the shelves and fully cooperated with the crisis. After the crisis was over, they re-released Tylenol with three "tamper-resistant" safety seals.

Now three years later it has hap­pened again. It started out as an "isolated incident" in the Westchester area, where a woman visiting her boyfriend was given Tylenol and died. The capsules purchased at local A & P contain­ed the deadly potassium cyanide. The whole country was overcome by a frightening sense of deja-vu.

.:. the streets we walk on are paved in filth.

Again Johnson & Johnson pull­ed all Tylenol capsules from the shelves and began testing other bot­tles of capsules from other stores to determine if they also contain­ed cyanide. When more tainted capsules were found, the police could not treat it as an isolated incident.

Johnson & Johnson made a public announcement not to use any Tylenol capsules that might be at home and issued a SI00,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the person or persons involved.

This has caused the Chicago police to officially re-open the in­vestigation of the past Tylenol murders. The task force that was set up three years ago, has now regrouped with the hope of solving the latest murder.

Fear has stricken the hearts of all Americans, but especially in new-York. It could have been anyone who walked into that A & P and bought that fatal bottle of Tylenol. It might have been m e . . . or even you.

This is a sad reflection on America. What kind of society are we that this-.could happen •. . . 'twice? America "was once a great . nation, and was admired by others as the greatest nation. We stood for all the good things — if yod work­ed hard and led a good life, you would one day achieve success. Or so it was. Today, we have been brought to our knees and forced to see that the streets we walk on are paved with filth. "

Crime is as rampant as ever, massive quantities of drugs come in and out of our borders, corruption has risen to greater heights and we wonder where we will end up. We, as a society, have become blind to the realities of life — Or maybe we prefer not to see.

The individual (or individuals) who taints Tylenol capsules with cyanide, murdering^an innocent woman, is the product of the socie­ty in which we all live. We need to examine our values and what we are teaching our children. Are we teaching our children life, or is life teaching our children? If it is the latter, then we are producing a generation of misguided, confused, angry and bitter individuals.

I once considered America as the best place to live., 1 would still choose to live here over any other country, but I am not blind to its faults. I cannot think of another nation with as much to offer as this one. Conceived in love and pride, we fought hard to establish ourselves. America has grown in­to a wealthy nation with much to offer. People still come here to achieve and succeed. I have not lost hope for America as a nation. We are not a perfect nation, but then neither is any other. In view of what occurs in other countries, I still would consider us ahead of all others.

However, being just ahead is not the answer. Wc as Americans must re-evaluate this country and im­prove our society. Together, we can reduce crimes like the Tylenol cyanide poisonings.

Andrea Kincs is a freshman at Marist College.

arena. The qualitative dimension of academics involves mastery and development of skills often refer­red to as the "liberal skills." These skills are developed within the vigorous, intentional pursuit of knowledge and achievement in col­lege study. The liberal skills involve communicating clearly, both oral­ly and in writing. Various forms of written assignments and class presentations develop these abilities. Analysis of problems and issues and defining new solutions are present throughout the cur­riculum. The opportunity to develop skill in researching a topic and asking the right questions are also inherent to the educational process.

These competencies and others go with you as you leave Marist and begin your work life. As you contact employers with letters and resumes and present yourself in in­terviews, you will- display your ability to communicate. Perhaps in the hiring process an organization will test your ability to think quick­ly and solve problems. Whether or not you encounter such demands, you have the opportunity to prepare for them with a solid effort to meet the requirements of ex­cellence in your academic work.

Much has been written about the

value of the liberal arts and the well-rounded background they pro­vide for organizational problem-solving and decision-making. Studies of liberal arts graduates have revealed that they~advance as far, if not farther, into upper management levels as their more technically trained counterparts. Although current hiring practices reveal a continued dependence on more technical disciplines by business and industry at the entry-level, students in the "career" disciplines would benefit from maximum exposure to the liberal arts. Liberal arts majors may cer­tainly benefit from exposure to subject areas which can give them an appreciation of the business world or other areas of the world of work.

Comments and advice for to­day's students from recent graduates of Marist indicate that employers are impressed with good grades, quality work experience and leadership involvement in ex­tracurricular activities. The max­imum value of your degree will be derived through a conscientious ef­fort to excel and involve yourself with all that college has to offer.

Ray Wells is the director of career development and placement at Marist.

Slamming the Gram my Page 6- THE CIRCLE - February 27, 1986-

by Ken Parker For nearly thirty years record

company executives and their ar­tists have dressed up in tuxedos, smiled for photographers and liv­ed in anticipation for the night in late February when the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences hands out its annual Grammy Awards.

From its presentation on televi­sion, it is easy to get the idea that everything is fine with the Gram-mys. But beyond all the toothy smiles and acceptance speeches one major question remains.

Do the Grammy Awards really honor the finest in recorded music?

A look at the history of the awards suggests conservatism and a lack of recognition for those who challenge the boundaries of music.

In no other catagory is this more noticeable than in the Best New Ar­tist category. Over the years, win­ners have included A Taste of Honey, a female duo who had a disco hit in the mid-seventies with "Boogie Oogie Oogie . " The following year The Starland Vocal Band took home the Grammy. They were responsible for the everlasting classic, "Afternoon

Delight." Where are these artists today?.

By limiting the voting public to music professionals there would seem to be a conflict of interest. Two years ago the band Toto walk­ed away with an armful of awards. Their victories were helped by the fact that the band is made up of studio musicians, or music profes­sionals. The members of Toto are well known throughout the music

rave on

industry and have worked on numerous albums for major artists like Billy Joel and Michael Jackson. • A Grammy Award can do wonders for an artist. In 1983 Wynton Marsalis' career was great­ly enhanced by his numerous awards and his performance on na­tional television. Record companies have realized this from a look at their spring sales figures. To coin­cide with this year's Grammy s,

Warner Brothers records released a.new single from Dire Straits, which were nominated for six awards, this week.

It is difficult to determine just what the Grammy Awards are looking for in an artist. Toto released an album last year called Isolation yet it did not receive a single nomination. Is the music that much poorer? A listen to the album shows that it really is not significantly worse than their Grammy winner. What then is the difference? In gingle word, sales.

If there is one trend the Gram­my people follow it is the fact that only records familiar with the public become nominated. It seems a record must sell a million copies before it can be seriously con­sidered for nomination. The Gram­my Awards fail because they do not honor the best in recorded music; they recognize the best that has entered the top 10.

Until the Grammys view the en­tire music industry as a source of creativity, the awards will remain nothing more than popularity con­tests and promotional tools design­ed to add another platinum album to an artist's wall.

Dan told her it was a gag,'that she was the laughing stock of Chicago. If she was, no one dared to say it to her face. She earned the respect she had worked for.

Gpldie Hawn is as lively as ever. Her ability to deliver quick one-liners, her facial expressions and her spunky personality make her the ideal actress for the role of Coach Molly McGraff.

Known mostly for his comic ability, which he lets shine as the lovable principal of Central High, Nipsey Russell can be quite abrupt and curt, when the situations arise.

The chauvinistic Prescott coach is played well by James Keach. The Central High football team con­sisted of young actors who could easily pass for the heart-of-gold, il­literate delinquents they played.

"Wildcats" is predictable, but this does not detract from its im­pact. Ritchie approaches topics, such as sexism, academic eligibili­ty in athletics, problems in inner ci­ty schools and single parents.

It is a story of making winners out of losers. "Wildcats" climbs to the top of the heap of films deal­ing with women coaching men's teams. It deals with the issue and doesn't go off on tangents.

Ritchie never lets us forget that McGraff, although she is a coach, is feminine. She is often filmed in soft lights, for example. There is no need to give up a part of ourselves to fulfill another.

Nobody needs to be a loser. If you have a dream, the conviction, and forget what the word "qu i t " means, anything is possible. Look at the Central High Wildcats. What began as a nightmare ended as a dream. We all have personal ex­amples of Cinderella stories.

by Julia E. Murray

They're here. Just when you thought it was safe to get out of your room and party, exams came back to haunt you. It's time to dig out those books from under your bed, shake the dustbunnies off of them and start studying {at least long enough to remember" what courses you've been sleeping through for the past six weeks). The problem is, where can you study?

The obvious answer would seem to be the library, but don't be taken in by the first thing that comes to mind (that's how you signed up for that class you're going to flunk in the first place). The library is no place to study.

As if the quiet hum of Top 40 on someone's Walkman wasn't enough to disturb your sleep, I mean study, you have to contend with all the gusty sighs coming from people whose 20-page paper is only five pages long. By the time you finish gathering up all the notes they, blew across the room, you really won't have the heart to study, if you ever did in the first p l a c e . [ . ' • ' ' • •

Once the library is exhausted, it's off to your room in search of a miracle — silence. Don't bet on it.

If you live in a dorm, you really should know better than to expect quiet. The last time the sound level in any of those dorms was below a dull roar was five minutes before they opened for the first time, and I wouldn't even count on that.

The fact is, dorm rooms were built for sociability. The paper-thin walls and ceilings were designed so that you can know in an instant when your neighbors are home and if they have company. Each crack was carefully placed for maximum contact between neighbors, both visually and auditorally.

Dorm rooms were not intended for study, they were intended for social interaction (i.e. parties). The only possible places to study in your room are in the closet or under the bed. Just make sure you bring a lamp, and don't study in groups unless you're trying to get a date.

If you live in an apartment or at home, the same might be said for your room there, as well as the liv­ing room. These are designated

social areas and are not designed for studying. You might have a chance in the kitchen if we weren't all "starving college students." When times are tough, most peo­ple seem to reach for junk food to get them through, so by the time mid-terms roll around the kitchen could, use a .traffic light, or, at least hazard signs. '„ ,_,'. ..

The computer room is $• nice place to study after 11 p.m., when few people are there, but you have to have a strong stomach for the "tap-tap-tap" of keyboards and a very high tolerance for profanity. The room is also only open until midnight, so you have to go somewhere else during your peak studying hours. •

If you want to be literal about all of the things you read in various

college catalogues before you came here, you could always study in the "halls of academia." Donnelly is open all night, but 1 wouldn't ad­vise it. The place seems to have a strange effect on most people. You walk into the building wide awake and five minutes later you're in la-la land. While sleep does wonders for the complexion, pressing your face in your text does not help you "absorb" knowledge.

It's two in the morning. The library and the computer room are closed, your next-door-neighbors are having a Roaring Twenties par­ty, with an emphasis on the " roar , " you've fallen asleep in Donnelly three times and people are even using the fishtanks, I mean "study rooms" in Champagnat. Meanwhile, you have a mid-term at 8:15 that you haven't studied for yet. What do you do now?

The answer is simple — borrow a flashlight and find a nice, uninhabited bench, like the ones near Donnelly. You may freeze to death, but at least it's quiet.

campus america Ed Dept. Could Lose 25 Percent Of Its Budget

Even before President Reagan's budget proposed slashing the Education Dept.'s budget 10 per­cent, the Congressional Budget Of­fice recently told the Senate that "automatic" cuts due Mar. I to satisfy the Gramm-Rudman budget-balancing law could shave 25 percent off the department's fiscal 1987 budget.

That would amount to a cut of $7.65 billion, compared to the $3.2 billion the president proposed Feb.

Pell Grant funding would be cut by 17 percent, the American Association of State Colleges and Universities predicted.

But all college programs would be "decimated" by the Gramm-Rudman cuts, which go into effect if Congress and the president don't agree on alternative cuts by March 2, according to the Committee for Education Funding.

Miami Of Ohio Limits Business School Enrollment

While many schools limit business school enrollment to save money, Miami recently announced

limits to try to stop its liberal arts mission from being overrun by business majors.

Almost four of every 10 Miami students are business majors.

Officials hope to cut it to 33 per­cent of the student body by 1990.

Mississippi, Aiming To Stop Van­dalism, Bolts Its Dorm Windows Shut

UM officials said the bolting also will help control air conditioning and heating bills, but they conced­ed it'll also prevent students from throwing things at passersby below.

The housing office ajso said it will start billing students for damage done to their dorm rooms.

And a St. Louis paper recently reported a U. Missouri fraternity's New Year's Eve party caused about $40,000 in damages to a cit>; hotel. Liability for the damages is unclear, Missouri-Columbia's ln-terfraternity Council said.

Bennett: Some Colleges Are 'Rip­ping Off The American Public'

The professor as mother by Kathy O'Connor

Every Friday, Corey Joseph Myers spends hours in the office of a political science professor.

Heather Elko finds a seat in the back of a pre-calculus class two days a week—and begins to color.

Corey is eight weeks old. Heather is five years old. ]'.'•

- Their mothers are professors at Marist.

Time is definitely of the essence for Prof. Susan Myers, a political science professor, and Prof. Con­stance Elko, an assistant professor of mathematics, as they work around the clock as teachers and mothers. y

"I enjoy teaching, and academic work is very flexible," said Myers. " I 'm just fortunate that Corey was considerate enough to be born over Christmas break, so I did have a lot of time to be with him and welcome him."

"There is much time needed to

be a teacher and so much more time required to be a mother," said Elko, a mother of two who is ex­pecting her third child on May 8. "Sometimes when 1 sit down at home to grade papers, I'll be inter­rupted by one of the children. One time it was just Peter, my youngest child, taking apart the toilet bowl tank.-"..',-,. ; > ; . . , . > •;.-•-,:. .- ''.

Myers said she finds that having a child changes her conception of time in her profession and her in­dependent studies. "Finishing my dissertation research may take two years instead of one, but it's worth i t ," she said.

Elko and Myers typify women of the '80s as they pursue their careers and master the role of "mom."

"1 don't think these questions of being a working parent would be asked of a father, because it is just assumed that there is a woman in the background," said Myers. "It 's assumed that the mother is at home fulfilling the maintenance functions

of cooking and cleaning." Economically, the 1980s calls for

two working parents, she said, and domestic responsibilities should be divided. "1 am not and cannot be a one-dimensional person. I'm a many-dimensional woman who has reponsibilities to my child, my pro­fession and every area of my life," said Myers. "Traditionally, when people left home and entered the workplace, they see themselves and their colleagues as one-dimensional. We need to see each other as professionals, but ones who are suspended in the web of relationships and responsibilities."

What makes these two working parents unique is the extent to which they involve their children in their work.

"On Mondays and Wednesdays after kindergarten, Heather joins my pre-calculus class," said Elko. "She brings her lunch and sits in the back where she occupies herself by becoming so involved in whatever it is she's doing."

As almost every mother will agree, Myers said she believes that children bring an immeasurable degree of joy to the world. "The way I look at life changed from be­ing a series of routines to being a series of surprises," said Myers.

As they continue to teach their own children, Elko and Myers said they will continue teaching at Marist. "Giving birth and having a young baby at home is such a life-affirming experience, and isn't that the objective of teaching — affir­ming life?" said Myers.

"If I can do it with two children, I can do it with three," said Elko.

Women intellectuals top men Palo Alto. CA. (CPS) — Are

women on campus more "intellec­tual" than men?

"Yup," said a random sample of Stanford students.

According to the survey, females classified as "intellectuals" out­number males classed as intellec­tuals by a two-to-one margin.

" I t ' s obviously not a represen­tative sample. However, I don't think they (Stanford students) are different than students at other ma­jor research institutuions," said Herant Katchadourian, who con­ducted the study along with col­league John Boli.

Stanford students were asked to

fill out a questionnaire on their course plans and their attitudes about what they are studying.

Depending on their answers, students were classified as "in­tellectual," "careerist," "strivcrs" or "unconnected."

While "careerist" men tended to ignore liberal arts courses, "in­tellectual" women often took a substantial number of liberal arts courses, and maintained an interest in careers.

"I am not surprised by the Stan­ford findings," said Barbara Hetrick, dean of Academic Affairs at Hood College in Maryland.

"I would expect more women to

have humanistic values and to be more likely to seek knowledge for knowledge's sake," she said.

Hetrick herself recently finished a s tudy of how H o o d ' s predominantly female student body changed its political and social views after going through four vers of the school 's liberal arts curriculum.

Hetrick found seniors were con­siderably less materialistic than they had been as freshmen, that they were more concerned about community welfare and developing a general philosophy of life.

Edwards set to talk and receive award by Michael J. Nolan

Douglas Edwards, CBS news correspondent, will speak on com­munications and his relation to the field on Tuesday, March 4 at 7 p.m. in the Campus Center.

A highlight film of Edwards' career as a news broadcaster of the 1950's will also be shown, and Ed­wards will be available for questions.

Edwards will also be the reci­pient of the fourth annual Lowell Thomas Award for excellence in broadcast journalism. The ceremony will be held April 23 in New York City.

According to a press release, Dennis Murray, president of Marist College, said: "Mr. Douglas Ed­wards was selected to receive the Lowell Thomas Award because of" his distinguished career in broad-' cast journalism. There is no one in radio or television today who ex­emplifies the high ideals better than Douglas Edwards." He- added, "He's not just a talking head."

According to the Associated Press, Edwards said, "Television news, to me, is just sort of staking out its future." He added, "The news division is going to be called on to furnish more and more time to the television network, and 1 believe that's a good sign for the future."

Edwards anchors the mid-morning edition of "Newsbreak," the Sunday morning series "For Our Times," "The World Tonight" and several News-on-thc Hour broadcasts on the CBS Radio Network.

Edwards' television career began in 1946 with the "CBS Television News." He then moved to the "CBS Afternoon News with

"We would like to present to Marist College some women role models and issues," said Suzanne Mateo, assistant professor of nur­sing, "and encourage men and women to take hold of this new knowledge."

In addition to the public address in the evening, Edwards will meet with faculty and students, and he'll be given a tour of the Lowell Thomas Communications Center as well as the campus.

The other Lowell Thomas Award winners were Eric Sevareid, Walter Cronkite and Howard K. Smith.

Murray said it seemed ap­propriate to invite this year's win­ner to campus to see the com­munications center, "especially now that the building is really star­ting to take shape." He said the Lowell Thomas Communications Center would be finished next fall, although he could not give a specific date

Continued from page 3 In the future, he would like to

see the television students and the < theater students combine work so they can get practical experience in their own fields.

He is also interested in develop­ing a facility for training students in computer animation for film. He says there is a big market in New York City for it.

Roffey-Mitchell is hoping to stay on next semester and teach a class in "Broadcast Advertising." The class would teach students how to make commercials, which is another area he says has a big market in New York City. "Pro ­viding we are professional and creative we can start pinching some of their business," he said.

Roffey-Mitchell said he now sees himself as communication scientist. "I'd like to think that I've brought a scientific perspective to com­municat ion," he said. "The technical people don't know how to present things in an arty way and the art people don't know how to present technical things." He feels that because of his diverse background he is able to combine these two fields.

"Making films and commercials in technical areas is my real strength," he said.

Marching At Marist

- About 90 people took part in the protest march last Friday spon­sored by the Progressive Coalition and the Black Student Union. Arm­ed with umbrellas to ward off the steady drizzle, the marchers started at the Garden Apartments and traveled across campus, including a noisy pass around the inside of Donnelly Hall. The demonstration later moved inside the Campus Center, where two Marist students and Sipho Seepe, a South African, gave presentations about apar­theid and racism. Clockwise from top: Marchers between the Garden Apartments and the Townhouses; Sipho Seepe; Coalition members sporting protest signs; More marchers; Joe Concra of the Progressive Coalition and Alvin Patrick of the Black Student Union.

Diversity and spontaneity put WVKR to the left of the rest by Bill DeGennaro

The Vassar College radio sta­tion, WVKR, avoids playing the albums which most people already own.

Instead, the station's offerings range from hardcore to what is now one of its most popular shows—polka music.

"We strive for something like channel 13 on television. We want to maintain a level of professional quality without having to broadcast commercials," said Vassar College junior Adam Serchuk, general manager of WVKR.

The station strives to maintain an image and format similar to non-commercial public broad­casting systems, Serchuk said. But it must also remember its respon­sibilities to the Federal Com­munications Commision, the stu­dent body and the surrounding community.

Located at 91.3 on the FM dial, WVKR, with a 1,000 watt capabili­ty, has a broadcasting radius of about 30 miles.

Serchuk, a science technology and society major from New York City, said the station attempts to broadcast in some manner all year long.

"This summer, we paid two staff members S500 to keep the station going six to eight hours a day," he said.

Yet Serchuk admits that he often contemplates closing the station completely over the summer break to maintain its format standards.

"The quality of programing plummeted during the summer because we were working with disc jockeys who were new and predominantly younger," he explained. ,

Serchuk said the disc jockeys, often high school students, were more committed to playing records for themselves than they were to the station.

WVKR has a budget of $15,000 and a staff of about 95. This in­cludes the 10-member executive staff, disc jockeys and newscast and business personnel. The small size of the executive staff, which Serchuk said allows for a cohesiveness among its staff and a ^tronger relationship with its listeners, often presents a conflict.

"Since we are funded by student tuition, some students think we should have more people on the staff," he said.

WVKR's license from the FCC is held by the college's administra­tion and its engineer.

The station engineer, a profes­sional from WPDH in Poughkeep-sie, is the only paid staff member, according to Serchuk.-

His salary is about 53,000 and he acts as a consultant, according to Serchuk. "A college student will never know enough to be able to make decisions for buying the equipment without trusting a pro­fessional," he said.

All the station must do to main­tain its FCC license is provide a public service, Serchuk said.

Providing a news service, reading public service an­nouncements and sponsoring events in the neighborhood fulfill its obligations to the FCC.

But Serchuk said the FCC does not monitor the station's activities. "The FCC doesn't really know that we exist, and they don't really care. They don't pay much attention to us." '

Serchuk said that if it did come down to a confrontation with the FCC concerning its license, the sta­tion could prove its dedication to the interests of the community.

'-" "We are the only station in Poughkeepsie offering jazz and classical music. We offer what's not available anywhere else. We are trying to present something for the community — not just playing albums for ourselves," he said.

Serchuk lists the disc jockeys'

tendency to play their favorite albums and the public's familiari­ty with professional radio stations as two of college radio's major drawbacks.

"Inherent in college radio is that nobody gets paid. The tendency is for the disc jockey to play the same records week after week. It's almost impossible to get them to play something new," he said.

Serchuk said that listeners are familiar with the professionalism of a station like WNEW-FM in New York City. "People are used to a very slick process of produc­tion, and since they are used to it, they label us as amateurish."

Last October, WVKR held a fund raising marathon in which $6,000 was pledged. Of that, $5,000 has been collected, Serchuk

-said. People pledging money received albums and other items donated by local merchants.

Last weekend, members from the staff of WVKR travelled to Tower Records in New York City. The trip's purpose was to expand the station's estimated 10,000-copy record collection. The station spent $2,500 on new albums, replacements for old albums and new compact discs for its classical music shows.

Currently, the station holds a series of hardcore concerts on the weekends at the Vassar Cof­feehouse. Wednesday nights will feature a series of jazz concerts. Those interested in attending . should give the station a call at 473-5866 or keep an eye on The Circle's entertainment calendar.

In his term as general manager, Serchuk said he hopes to further the relationship between Vassar and its.surrounding community. ;

"This is the only student-run organization that has the ability to interact with the community. I would like to lay the groundwork for turning this station into even more of a community service," Serchuk said.

Siblings bring a touch &f home with them by Christian Morrison

For many Marist students these days, going to college is like living in a George Orwell novel — Big Brother is watching them.

These students are among a -growing number of siblings who have followed their older brothers or sisters to Marist.

Fabrice Cuadrado said it didn't really bother him when he found out that his younger sister, Estelle, was planning to attend Marist, but it did once she got here. "I felt as if I should watch hen" said the junior from Red Bank, N.J.

"My parents wanted me to look out after her (during) her first year at school," said senior "John Anderson, whose sister, Cathy, is a freshman at Marist. "But I didn't have anyone here to help me. 1 think she should do it herself."

Anderson, who is from Mahwah, N.J., said it has turned

| "Director, Music" was performed at the Ensemble Studio Theatre and published by the Broadway Play Publishing Company.

In addition, Bozzone is working on a screenplay for "Saxophone Music." It has been optioned by a movie company, giving them full rights to the script for six months, he said.

-.;;• "Director Ira Wall, who got an Academy Award for the documen-

•_ tary 'Best BQy', saw my play and I signed a contract with his produc­tion company, Only Child Produc­tions. Chances are really good that they'll decide to make the movie

• before the option runs out," he said.

"There is a possibility Carol Kane, the comedienne, might be working on the screenplay with me; she is a friend of Wall's and has ex­pressed interest in the project," he explained.

In addition to playwriting, Boz­zone has experimented with other

. literary forms. Last summer, he worked as a writer for the soap opera, "The Guiding Light."

Bozzone said he left after twelve weeks, the normal turnover rate for the show's writers. He said he would do it again if he were called back, but creating soap opera scripts induces bad writing habits.

"It was great, but the strange thing was that I was briefed before I began writing and they told me to forget anything I ever learned about creativity," he said.

But Bozzone claims plays are still his first love. He said most of his plays, which have been produced in regional theatres in New York Ci­ty, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Minneapolis and Kansas City, are light comedies.

"Every writer has an autobiographical piece. My first play was that for me, but it was a drama and I got too bogged down by it, so I turned to lighter stuff," he expained.

While writing plays, Bozzone worked at a variety of jobs, in-

out different than he thought it would because he hardly ever sees his sister. "I was afraid that I would be in a bar and some guy would start telling me a story about some girl and it would turn out to be my sister," he said. "It's never happened . . . and it better not."

Sue Ryan, a freshman from Woodside, N.Y., said she thought her brother Garry would be "real­ly protective," but "the campus is big enough so I can see him when I want," she said.

"You always feel it could cramp your style," sard the older Ryan, a sophomore, "but it's good to have someone close to you here, so they"can keep an eye on you."

"It's not so bad," Sue Ryan said. "You know, when I see him at a mixer or something, he's usual­ly really cool about it if I'm talk­ing to a guy or something. The next day he'll give me 20 questions, but he'd never embarrass me."

y ' eluding labors as a cleaning man, a pizza-oven remover and - a chemical worker at Texaco Research.' But he said his most memorable job was working for a moving company in Manhattan.

"People used to follow the truck around trying to find the empty apartment," he explained. "It was really weird."

Now, Bozzone makes his living as a professor. He teaches Rhetoric of Exposition, a freshman writing course, and last semester taught Playwriting Workshop.

Bozzone graduated from Marist College in 1976. "I spent my first three years at Colorado State University. The first two, I was a science major because I was tren­dy and into the environment and ail-that. But I hated it. So, 1 changed my major to humanities and transferred to Marist a year later," he explained, adding, "I declared an English major here because that's the way I could get the most credits to transfer."

He got his master's degree in English at Goddard College in Ver­mont in 1978. He is married and has no children. Currently, he is working on another play, called "Eddie on the Air," about adisc jockey.

The 38-year-old Bozzone said he wants to become more involved in the production of his own plays. "I would like to make some money and then take an incredibly active role in the production of one of my plays because I think there's a cer­tain satisfaction in having a part in all aspects of your own work," he said.

His uliimate dream, he said, is to work with Robin Williams. "He's someone whom I've always admired. He's got so much talent and versatility; I would love to do a project with him."

He stopped for a minute, then added, "But we'll have to take that as it comes; that's how I've been playing this whole thing so far."

Estelle Cuadrado, a sophomore, said it would be better if her brother wasn't here. "1 would've preferred going to a .school where there wasn't someone I could count on — it makes you more indepen­dent," she said. .

Both Cuadrados agreed that it really isn't that bad having a sibl­ing at the same college. "Her friends and my friends would go out in groups before the drinking age changed," the older Cuadrado said.

John Anderson echoed their sen­timents.. "The way I thought it was going to be and the way it turned out are totally different," he said. "When I was a freshman and

sophomore, I'd see brothers and sisters going to Marist and I would think it was the dumbest thing 1 ever saw in my life. It was like, how the hell could these people go to the same school? It's not that bad though — I hardly ever see her."

Marist doesn't do anything extra to recruit brothers and sisters of current students, said James Daly, vice president for admissions and enrollment planning. But when an application is received from a stu­dent's sibling, it is given extra con­sideration, he said.

Daly said that while current students' brothers and sisters and other relatives are given more at­tention, no student would be of­

fered admission if his or her high school credentials didn't meet Marist's standards.

Garry Ryan said that a brother or sister should never be discourag­ed from attending the same college as an^older sibling, because "it's really not that bad, and it's easier on the parents."

—' Anderson's experience may sum it up best: "It doesn't make any difference now. When she first came here, I expected the worst. We were never very close in high school, like oil and water. But now that we go to school here together, we've gotten a lot closer, so some good might come out of it. 1 even sent her a valentine."

campus comments

Do you think Kaddafi poses a threat to national security?

Kevin Collins, sophomore, biology. Yes, Kaddafi should be stopped by any means possible. I-think that the free nations of the world should band together to stop this warped dictator.

Jim Schalck, senior, business. Yeah, the guy isn't mentally balanced. Anybody that is that in­competent and has an army at his disposal is dangerous.

Jim Roldan, junior, communica­tion arts. Yes, but the U.S.A. should get sufficient proof behind the terrorist acts before they make accusations.

Chris Douglas, sophomore, undecided major. Yes, I feel Kad­dafi poses a threat to national security and theVpreservation of. democracy^ There is no limit to the amount of force that is necessary to deal with a camel molester.

Jason Hawkins, senior, business. Yes, he is speaking out where he

, shouldn't speak out and we should do something in order to stop him. If there-is going to be another world war, it will come from so­meone such as him, where he shouldn't even be in power.

Dave Mandy, junior, com­munication arts. No, national security is an issue that the general public isn't completely informed about: The only people who know who is a threat to the security of the nation are government officials and high-ranking military officers. The politics we see are in the paper, and

. how much of that is completely true and what is left out is for a privileged few to know ?

Chuck Fillizola, senior, computer science. Kaddafi would probajjly be a threat if we were still under the Carter administration, but 1 feel our nation has gained back the respect it previously lost. Kaddafi may be insane enough to think he can threaten the U.S. national security. If he does, then he is obviously not playing with a full deck.

Singers set to perform

The Marist College Singers will join two other choral groups in a performance of George Bizet's "Te Deum" March 22 in the Campus Center Theater.

The Marist singers will be con­ducted by Dorothyann Davis, assis­tant professor of music at the col­lege. Joining them will be the Ulster Community College Chorus, con­ducted by Richard Olsen, and the West Point Cadet Choir, led by Lee Dettra.

Each of the groups will sing a portion of the program, and then all three will join in a finale of choruses from Handel ' s "Messiah."

An orchestra, conducted by Lantz Permezzi, will open the even­ing with a selection from Bach.

The program will begin at 8 p.m. Admission is free.

A GOOD WAY TO GET OUT OF YOUR EXAMS..,

Memh^^

by Mary Jo Murphy

Increasing communications with students and faculty, keeping the library collection current and pro­viding more seating space are some of the goals of Marist's new library director.

" I want the library to be an in­viting and exciting place where students can find the information they need," said Barbara Hirsh, who replaced Barbara Brenner as director of library services on Feb. 3. / '

Hirsh's education includes a master's degree in rhusicology from the Hartt School of Music at the University of Hartford and a master's in library science from Rutgers University. She has work­ed as a reference librarian at Western Connecticut State Univer­sity and as a collections manage­ment librarian at the University of Hartford.

Hirsh said she wants library staff to work more closely with students in research access. She explained that the library should provide students with" on-line data base searching and should also set up a feedback system to monitor complaints.

In regard to student claims that the periodical section is inadequate, Hirsch said she has begun en­couraging academic divisions to work with the library to enhance curricula and order necessary literature.

Hirsh said she is also concerned with the library's seating capacity. Although the amount of floor space cannot be changed, Hirsh said she is ordering new furniture to increase the overall physical seating capacity.

Barbara Hirsh (photo by . Laurie Barraco) The Library's budget of approx­

imately $270,000 for books and non- print materials, such as video cassettes, records and films, is ade­quate, Hirsh said. The problem, she explained, is where to put the new materials after they are purchased.

Hirsch said the library's staff and administration are it's greatest strengths. "They are flexible, en­couraging, cooperative and in­terested," Hirsh said. "The poten­tial for development of collections and services at the library is great," Hirsh said.

The library's staff consists of five librarians, two full-time clerks, two part-time clerks, a temporary clerk and 20 to 25 students:

The l ibrary 's physical ap­pearance and square footage are its major weaknesses, Hirsh said.

"Ideally, I would like the library to" offer the necessary materials and services to undergraduates so they can do all of their research at the Marist Library. Also, I would like the library to make materials and services available to g radua te ' students and faculty," Hirsh said.

Marist̂ ^^ 'conservative activism' Editor's note: This is the third in

a series, by Carl MacGowan

v Someone could have watched last Friday's march and had flashbacks to 1969. A few of the marchers looked like they had unlocked a time warp as they donn­ed tie-dye T-shirts, sported the old "Ban the Bomb" logo — an en­circled, upside-down trident — on buttons and incorporated it into protest signs that were as direct as "Wake Up Marist, Apartheid Kills," or as rhetorical as "End I t!" -'•'"• Those marchers not so affected by the hallucinogen of thickening rain wore red and black armbands and wristbands as they shouted "Hey, hey — ho, ho — Apar­theid's got to go!" Five professors were among the demonstrators, along with two marchers from Vassar College, three from Dut­chess Community College, two from the local Young Socialist Alliance (YSA), one college presi­dent and two TV cresvs.

The estimated 75 people who began the march from the Garden Apartments stepped over and around the massive puddles, made by five consecutive days of rain and melting snow, and into the footsteps of a tradition at Marist: the respectful, polite campus protest.

In the history of Marist College, the Progressive Coalition fits right in with a heritage that might be called conservative activism. Neither oblivious to the realities of the outside world nor cranky enough to attack the institution itself, the coalition at this point seems to have adopted the spirit of previous student awareness groups at the college.

Compared to the sometimes violent nature of campus protests in the late '60s and early '70s, ac­tivism at Marist was relatively tame..

"What was different about Marist, from other campuses, I think there was more responsibili­

ty here," said Vice President for Admissions and Enrollment Plan­ning James FJaly, who was a stu­dent at Marist from 1968 to 1972 — the height of Marist's involve­ment with the student protest movement. He was co-editor of The Circle in his senior year.

Daly said students and faculty members set aside one day a month, beginning in 1969, to con­duct a symbolic protest of the war in Vietnam. The observances sometimes took the form of candlelight vigils, or marches, through campus.

Last week's demonstrators used the same imagery as they lit candles, and carried them throughout the march.

But a common concern for world issues is only a part of the similarities between protesters of today and yesterday. There are, and were, other concerns as well.

As Daly described it last week in an interview, Marist students of the Hippie Generation were interested primarily in the lifestyle changes of their times.

"What happened in the '60s, I think, is that it was more of a cultural revolution (than a political revolution)," he said. For the first

~_lime, .said Da];^ ^Tug use had been introduced to the middle class.

When Floyd Alwon, a Marist alumnus featured three weeks ago in The Circle, began pushing his radical ideas, he was a lone voice on the Marist campus, Daly said. That was in 1967. But the rest of the campus quickly became turned on by the increasing relevance of the war in Vietnam to their own lives.

The war "heightened people's sensibilities to things," said Daly.

Dec. .1, 1969, marked the first time in the war that college students were ineligible for exemption from the draft'. That night, radios across-the Marist campus were tuned in to the announcement of the draft lot­tery, Daly said.

On Dec. 1, 1985, Daly noted

with obvious irony, the concern of the student body seemed to be the New York state drinking age rising to 21. . So where does the Progressive Coalition fit in? Like its '60s counterparts, the group appears to be carving a niche between the Judeo-Christian heritage of the school — with its attendant idealism — and the practical, middle-class values of the student body. If the coalition has not taken exception to being labelled an ac­tivist group, neither have they challenged the materialistic, conser­vative attitudes held by a majority of the student body at Marist.

Dr. Gerry Breen, professor of sociology, said the idealism of the late '60s became a concern for ap­plication of those ideals in the '70s. Breen, who began teaching at Marist in 1971, said the inspiration of Dr. Malvin Michelsen, a chemistry professor at Marist for many years, led many Marist students to take part in anti-poverty programs in the Poughkeepsie area.

Through the federally-funded University Year for Action pro­gram, students could get. nine credits a semester and up to 30 credits a year for working w'th residents of a poor neighborhood in Dover Plains, student teaching at the Franklin Elementary School on Delafield Street or helping local residents to organize a lawsuit against a cement company accus­ed of polluting the Hudson River.

.'• The program was begun at Marist in 1974 and ended when Michelsen retired a few years later. Michelsen is now a self-sufficient farmer, Breen said.

"Michelsen was the focal point, in terms of student activism, in terms of community service," said Breen. ".We always thought it would be great to have Pete Seegar as^an adj\unctcprofessor." ' _

Daly said the song that "typified what the typical Marist College stu­dent was feeling at the time," was Bob Dylan's "Blowin' in the

The music brought along to sym­bolize last week's march was by Bob Marlcy and Peter Tosh: "Get up, stand up/ Stand up for your rights, " went one song. "Get up, stand up/Don't give up the fight."

Except for an outburst of recklessness when Joe Concra and Alvin Patrick charged into Presi­dent Dennis Murray's office, the march was an exercise in restraint. Some might call it maturity.

Sipho Seepe, a member of the African National Congress, which has been outlawed by the South African government < He is in the United States as a student and pro­fessor at Rennsalacr Polytechnic Institute.

The march became history unto itself, and a part of the history of Marist College.

As a Marist student I'm putting money into this project. I'm psych­ed about the public relations it spreads to places all around the east coast for this college. But what about the not-so-public relations, the everyday dealings with every­day people?

Coach Matt Furjanic once said to me that the members of Marist's men's hoop team are "model students, model ballplayers." 1 know they can hit from anywhere on the court, Matt, but what about off the court? Of course there are players who do indeed hold up to both these claims. But call me a person looking to dig up dirt, and I'll show you a female sophomore who ran to her room crying after,, a verbal assault by two male hoopsters, neither of whom she knew personally. They were laughing throughout, 1 might add, and no apologies were ever made. Call me an extremist, and I'll show you more than one Seiler's food service employee who's been riddl­ed with ridiculous demands and basic disrespect from the mouth of one of Marist's men in red.

One player, six behind me in line for sandwiches in the deli, shouted "Hustle u p " at least five times as if he had an appointment to make. I'm sure most people in line had somewhere else to be, but the demands came only from him. When he finally got to the counter, he argued for another five minutes that the potato chips that went with his free dinner should be the huge bag and not the lunch-sized bag. "Over intersession, a friend of mine saw,some players .tear apart a-wooden chair:and couch and.pile the debris in.front.of a Cham-pagnat Hall elevator. AUcharges for the damage were levied against

• the other intercession students in that area, mainly other athletes; the basketball players, most of whom stayed on that floor, had ail per­sonal charges absorbed by the college.

Let's be serious. I've worked hard just to be able to pay what student loans can't cover to stay at Marist for these four years. And I'm not about to be told I'm a second-hand citizen just because my sport doesn't draw the big money or the fans — nor should ANY Marist student have to feel that way.

I have friends on the basketball team. Certainly not all, or even most, players have anything to do with my ill regard. But those who do should know exactly what I'm talking about. As much as I enjoy the excitement at home games, 1 don't think I, or anybody else, should have to feel like we have no say in the matter. . : If I sat down to work out the math, I'm sure my percentage-cut of the program is just a practice towel or drinking cup. But I'm go­ing to work that towel for all it's worth. And until Marist basketball gets a huge endowment and stops spending so much of our money, each and every student should do the same.

Players, let's make "scholar­ship" a word for excellence all-around. That's all I ask for my money.

Explanation To the editor:

In response to the letter to the editor entitled "Battle" by Douglas Dutton: The reason why Mr. Dut­ton and two Marist alumni were, as he said, "forced to leave," was because he and his alumni friends were a part of the band called Funhole. These members of this group broke many college rules in their previous performance last year at the Battle of the Bands.

After that performance, the band was told that: they were banned from playing or entering into any Battle of the Bands competition. Then last semester they signed up under fake names and came to the event in masks. Once they were recognized as Funhole they were escorted out, courtesy of Security. First we refunded their money, and then asked them to leave politely, yet they still refused. When one of those members started using vulgarity towards Betty Yeaglin, Security was called in and told to escort them out. We like to run events that students enjoy which are trouble free. By the turnout of close to 500 people and their responses it was wellworth escor­ting Mr. Dutton and his alumni friends out.

Book costs To the Editor:

When the Financial Aid Office recently opened up an internship position, I was quick to jump at the opportunity. My name is Cecilia Leyden and 1 am a Senior Finance major. 1 feel that this internship at the Financial Aid Office will pro­vide me with an excelelnt oppor­tunity to gain experience in my field of study. The office provides an ef­ficient, business-like work setting, complimented, by very pleasant, dedicated co-workers. I am not on­ly learning the valuable skill of working well with people, but also getting some first hand experience in financial matters. The Director of the Financial Aid Office, Karen Atkin, has recently assigned to me the project of estimating the average cost of books that students in different majors incur each semester. This information will be helpful in insuring that the students receiving financial aid will be fully compensated for their book costs by the government. Any informa­tion on this subject will be greatly appreciated. I can be contacted in the Financial Aid Office, extension 230, Tuesdays and Thursdays from the hours-11:00 to 3:30.

rhursday morning quarterback

1 would miss the next five plays if l.did. He just didn't look like the type that came to cheer.

"Come on up here," I scream­ed down from the largest grouping of red T-shirts since the Patriot fans made that pile for the bonfire.

He made his way up the wooden steps clutching a ticket stub and program. He looked around for the number on the seats that matched his ticket. When he started to ask

people to move, I butted in. "Don't bother with the seat

number, just sit and watch." . "1 don't want to get in trouble,".

he mumbled. "Never mind that, look, Smits

blocked his third," I said, chang­ing the topic back to the game as quick as I could. x

We watched the flow of the ac­tion as the ball was passed from guard to guard. Finally, Drafton Davis lofted one towards the hoop and Miro Pecarski caught it and "stuffecl'ft home" for a~picturesque alley-oop. The fans went wild.

- "Miiiiiro," 1 screamed as I got to my feet with 3,000 other people. I glanced to my side in mid-yell on­ly to see my new-found friend ben­ding over tying his wingtips.

"Whadda doing — get up and cheer!" I reprimanded him with a him with amiable politeness. He slowly raised himself to his feet but by then everyone in the bleachers had already sat down again.

"Si t ," I said, with a frustrated tone as I jerked the coat of his three-piece suit.

"Do you know Rik Smits is ranked in the top twenty in the NCAA in field goal percentage?"

he said with-a professor-like air. " W h a t ? " . I said, more in

disbelief than becauscof the noise. "Yes, it's t rue." he said.

"I know, 1 know," I said, hop­ing he'd catch on that 1 wanted to see some basketball not hear him.

"And Smits is also ranked in blocked shots," he said in the same tone.

"Add four more to that stat, I said sharply. "He 's having a helluva game."

He was silent for a while but the crowd kept chanting and cheering as Marist clung to a three-point

lead. Smits got a few personal fouls and Rudy Bourgarel was subbed in. The fans shouted "Ruuuuuudy!"

"Why are that booing that tall fellow?" he questioned.

Oh brother was what I was thinking, but T said, "The guy's name is Rudy, they're yelling 'Ruuudy' not booing."

What kind of nut is sitting next to me I thought? I missed the next two plays chatting with him, trying to explain some simple cheering procedures. It reminded me of sit­ting next to my grandmother, but she catches on quicker.

He i\odded when I finished each of my sentences. They were short, unkind sentences like, 'that's a slam,' and 'that's Carlton Wade.' I'm not sure if he was nodding because he really understood or he was pretending he heard me over all the din.

But he started in with some talk­ing about some facts. It was in-'

-teresting for-a while,-then it-wasn't-at all. First he gave me the Foxes' record — home and away, the divi­sion standings, each team's leading scorer and each team's average height. But then he went into average weights, time between per­son fouls and average age of the water boys. That's what I could gather. I was trying to watch.

"All right, enough, 1 missing the game," 1 said. .

He kept up with the stats and 1 kept up with pretending I was listening by nodding, going 'uh-huh,' and never looking at him.

"Did you also know that Draf­ton Davis is among the top ten in the NCAA in assists?" he con­tinued. Then he added, "Which one is Mr. Davis and what is an assist?"

"Ugh , " I said under my breath, as 1 further explained.

The game moved along quite quickly but this guy could tell I was getting annoyed with his numbers while I was attempting to cheer. Marist got it together and with some fine team work the Foxes pulled ahead. But the whole time this guy spit out stats like a com­puter, but probably" with more accuracy.

For every cheer and scream he "would aslTwhat we 'were saying and'

why we were so loud. For every number and rank he

told me, I would nod and try to ig­nore him — and miss a shot or two in the process.

Marist won the game and I was glad for two reasons. One was because they won, the other was because I could ditch this human issue of basketball news.

As people, grabbed their coats and started filing for the doors I was thinking about all he knew stat-wise .and all 1 had learned about Marist and how much could

AD studies seating policy by Christian Morrison

Student seating at men's basket­ball games might be changed next year; however, seats will not be in­creased unless there is a need, said Director of Athletics Brian Colleary. ,

, Despite student complaints about the amount and location of seating, Colleary said that there is more than enough seats, and that the location of Marist's student sec­tion compares favorably to that of other schools. -

Colleary said he is toying with a number of ideas to revamp current seating arrangements, but he has to see what next year's schedule will be like. He said that one of the big­gest concerns is the number of home games Marist has during winter intersession, since student attendance is low at that time.

Currently, students can sit in the left-hand third of the bleachers, east of the fieldhouse; the bottom two rows of the right-hand third on the same side; and anywhere in the endzone seats behing the baskets, Colleary said.

Colleary said that Marist students get a better deal thari students at many of the schools on Marist's schedule.

"Fairfield's student section is

right behind the basket. It holds '800 and as soon as it's filled, they stop (admitting students). lona charges its students two dollars," he said.

Marist students pay an activity fee each semester and part of the money goes to the athletic depart­ment. Through this fee, students receive free admission to all home games. You couldn't ask for a much better deal to watch Division One basketball, according to Colleary.

Complaints that there is not enough student seating are also unfounded Colleary said. The most students that have attended a home game this season is about 420, he said, so there has been more than enough student seating. This figure

. represents less than 25 percent of the resident student body.

Colleary said that if he saw a need, he would gladly add more student seating.

"Students are great at games," he said," As far as fans, the 300 or 400 students we get are the best 300 or 400 fans. I'd like to see 50 per­cent of the student body here.'"

Seating arrangements have not changed" drastically from past vears, according to Colleary, though he could not say for sure

Tom Begg, a senior from Water-bury, Conn, disagrees with Colleary.

" I saw the tape of last year's game against L.l.U. a few days ago and we were sitting right in the middle (the middle section of the bleachers on the east side)," Begg said.

Students always sat in the mid­dle section last year, he said, but that section is currently reserved for ticket holders.

Begg agreed that there is no need to increase student seating right now, but he said the student sec­tion should "definitely" be moved.

"If we're making all the noise, we should be in the middle," he said.

Colleary' has been very attentive to the student's needs, according to Begg.

" I think if we really fill up the student section, Brian will move us over."

Colleary indicated that he will do anything he can for the student body, but that there was little chance the students would be given the middle section.

" I don't think there's a bad seat in the building," he said. "Sixty feet is the furthest away you can sit, and that's not bad ."

get by a person if you didn't hear some stats every now and then. My attitude toward him changed and 1 felt I had to say something nice, after all I had not been too kind.

Then he said something like, "What excellent rooting prowess you displayed, young man."

1 nodded, smiled and saw it was my turn to be nice.

Then he said something to me

just as I was speaking to him. In unison we said, "You know too much about basketball."

It was the first time we agreed and it\lidn't bother either one of us. I got two hot dogs for a dollar, gave one to him and we both reach­ed for the ketchup. 1 heard him begin to explain the number of ket­chup factories in the U.S. to the poor lady in the food booth.

Last two games set Foxes' future

The- Marist men's basketball regu|ar season will come to a end with two home games this weekend against Pennsylvania conference foes St Francis (Friday). and Robert Morns (Saturday).

Game time for both contests is 7.30 p.m.

The Foxes were also scheduled to play last night against Fairleigh Dickinson University at Madison Square Garden. A Red Fox win last night would have.meant a tie for first place in the conference stan­dings. Results of the game were not known at publication time.

The Red Foxes entered Jast night's game in second place with a 9-4 record (14-10 overall). The team had won four straight and 10 of its last 12 games.

St Francis (Pa.) entered the week in fifth place with a 8-6 record (10-14 overall) while intrastate rival Robert Morris entered the week in sixth place with a 6-8 record (9-15. overall).

The Red Tlash of St. Francis (Pa.) will come to town tomorrow night coached by former NBA player Kevin Porter and will be led on the court by Lamont Harris. Harris, a 6-5 forward, is a junior college transfer who is among the leaders in the nation in both scor-

Win, 2 losses put hockey team at 10-4

by Ken Foye

For the'Marist ice_ hockey team, last Wednesday rnight's 6-4 win over Pace was the' high point of a week that included two losses. The team's record stood at 10-4 in the Metropolitan Collegiate Hockey Conference entering this week.

The Red Foxes' first game of the week saw them facing defending Metro Conference champion Manhattan in Englewood, .N.J. Last season's conference cham­pions proved to be too' much for Marist as the Foxes fell 10-1 in their worst outing of the season..'-..' .

Marist captain Tim Graham, who scored the lone Marist goal, put it briefly and simply when he-said, "It was just a case of us play­ing a much better team. We could have played better, but it wouldn't have made a difference. They were that good." , - Against Pace, Marist seemed to have a hard time getting things started. The visiting Setters led 3-0 midway through the second period. The Red Foxes finally got on the scoreboard with eleven minutes re­maining in the period, but one minute later senior winger Curt Hawkes was hit with a five-minute major penalty and a game ejection for fighting.

While serving Hawkes' penalty, Dean Kustas, who had scored Marist's first goal, said, "There's gonna be more where that one came from. We're gonna win this game." He later proved to be right.

Before the second period ended, senior defenseman Craig Thier scored with nine minutes left in the second period to pull the Foxes to within one goal. Tne second period ended with no further scoring as Marist trailed'3-2. But in the third periodrthe Red Foxes skated like a true team. V / -

The Foxes went oh to score four times in the final period while holding Pace to one goal and out-shooting the visitors 20-7. Tim Graham and John Blake each chip­ped in on three of those four goals. Blake, who joined the team less than a month ago, had a goal and two assists during the third period, while captain Graham scored twice and also dished out an assist.

',-'. The two seniors, Ken Williams and Garth Wurstle, along with Mike Brunson and Mark McCloud are the four returning starters from last year's team.

Earlier in the season when the Foxes went to Pennsylvania, the team nursed the flu while splitting with the teams, beating the Red Flash and losing to the Colonials. The loss to Robert Morris snapped a Marist five game winning streak at that time.

Both Pennsylvania teams used their outside shooting to their ad­vantage as Loyola did in the game

Marist goalie Greg Whitehead played perhaps his best game of the season; stopping" 30 Pace shots on goal including a last minute Pace penalty shot. "Whitehead really kept us in the game tonight," com­mented Blake.

"We got good production from all three lines tonight, instead of just relying on our first line," said Assistant Coach John Lentz. "We really bounced back from Sunday ^ night 's; game (the loss to Manhattan)." .-.v. •: Unlike the game against Pace, Saturday night's road loss to Col­umbia started out on a positive note for the RedFoxes. Marist led 3-1 after one period of play and 5-3

... after two periods. But the hosts rallied in the final period to pull out a 7-6 victory. -

Columbia, who had trailed 5-2 at one point, scored-two goals in the first ten minutes of the final period to tie the game 5-5. Ken Marasco scored his second goal of the season to give Marist the lead again,, and it seemed that the momentum would switch back in favor of the Red Foxes. Marist held the 6-5 lead with less than two minutes remain­ing, but Columbia tied the score again and then scored their game winner with less than a minute left.

Graham (3 goals, 2 assists) and Neil Lucey (1 goal, 2 assists) were the hot;scorers for'Marist. Goalie Whitehead stopped only 20 shots but many of his saves were outstan­ding. Whitehead was forced to stand)- up to five Columbia breakaways, three of which resulted in Columbia goals.

Not. including Whitehead and backup goalies Rich Haag and Kevin Haggerty, Marist only had 11 players available for the Colum­bia game. Fatigue set in due to the extra time that every Marist player had to contribute, and that resulted in the Foxes' poor third period. In all, seven Marist players did not dress for the game against Columbia.

The Red Foxes are scheduled to play on the road against Wagner tonight and Rutgers tomorrow night. The game against Rutgers was re-scheduled for tomorrow night to make up for an earlier game which was postponed.

, "We were on them," said Fur-janic in the post game interview with 98 Fame. "If there was a three-point line as in the NBA, four or five of their (Loyola) jumpers in the second half would have been '• three-pointers! I told the team dur­ing a time out that I rather see them

. (Loyola) do that than go inside." Marist entered the week with two

of their starters making waves in the nation. Center Rik Smits is among the leaders in the nation in. both field goal percentage and blocked shots per game while guard Drafton Davis is among the leaders in assists per game.
