Marist College Poughkeepsle, N.Y. Volume 25, Number 6 - October 30,1980

A "Special" Athletic Competition V

By Peter Fredsall _ and

Thomas Hassett Staff Writers'

Last Saturday Marist College sponsored a different kind of athletic sporting event. The competitors wer.e all paraplegic and., quadraplegic athletes confined .to wheelchairs. The ~ event was the 1980 Wheelchair Sports Invitational, in which approximately SO athletes participated.

Male and female, young and old, ex­perienced and novice, arrived at the Mc-Cann Center at eight a.m., eager for the days events to begin. The schedule included events in swimming, track, slalom, weightlifting, and table tennis. The largest turnout of contestants was for the swimm­ing events, held early in the day. There was a series of relay and'individual races in freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly swimming. One of' the outstanding occurrences of the day was the setting of a new world record in the masters freestyle relay; completed in 4.08 minutes.

Returning national champion Kent Hogan, a member of the world record set­ting team, retained his title as undefeated champion in the 50 yard freestyle class two event. He also received awards in other-swimming as well as track events. He said,

"I had not competed until 1977 because I didn't know what it was like and now I am

. a national champion." - - --"-Marist College held its own in the events..

Karen Conrad placed first in the 100 yard freestyle swimming, the 60 yard dash, the 1 mile run, and the woman's featherweight in

'weightlifting. She'won a gold medal-for each. Amazingly, Conrad has never-before participated in any national wheelchair events. -

Explaining why she decided to compete, Conrad stated, "I was anxious because I never experienced that type of situation before." Speaking of her potential as an athlete, she said, "I only knew my ability to a point; the only way I could realize ability was to be put into such a com­petitive atmosphere." ,

Noting her lack of experience in this type or field of competition, Conrad went on to say, 'I knew it would be difficult, and that made me_try all the harder." Describing her feelings after she had won, she said, "I

• kind of scared myself- I was so beat I couldn't even get out of the pool myself."

Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals as well as certificates were presented to winners at -the end of each event of the day. Lunch and a wine and cheese social at the end 'of the events were open to the competitors and their guests. Contestants came from all

along the east coast area for this event. The event is a recognized wheelchair sports competition by the Tri-State committee for National Wheelchair Sports. One of the State officials said, "Mostly; the events like this one are held for fun; only a small number take it seriously, but it puts" the handicapped on an equal basis with themselves."

The Wheelchair Sports Invitational was sponsored by the Poughkeepsie Kiwanis, Club and Marist College Special Services and under the direction of Diane Perreira, director of special services. Wheelchair sports events have been held-since the-1940's, and approximately~six invitational events are held annually as well as regional and national competitions, Kent Hogan best summed up the purpose of these ex­traordinary events, stating, "It creates a competitive place and a social atmosphere for people with a problem competing."

The philosophy of the wheelchair sports inpart, was the overall feeling that each contestant conveyed as they sweated, cheered, won, and lost. It states that to suc­ceed in attaining a goal you have set for yourselfyields great rewards — but that the greatest rewards are to be found in the at-

_ tempt itself. Ability, not disability counts — always!

A recent poll of some'200 Marist College students concerning this year's Presidential Election brought out two very interesting results.- One being that, former Governor of California Ronald Reagan is the favorite here on campus, which is contrary to a re­cent New York Times survey, which show­ed President Carter with a slight edge. The second- point concerns the number of registered voters here on campus. Out of the 200 people surveyed only 83 or 42% are registered to vote in-next week's upcoming

election. In this Marist poll Ronald Reagan, with -

46% of the vote, was the winner foT-basically~three reasons. One being, simply students thought it was time for a change in the "White House. The second being, Reagan's ' opposition to Carter's reinstitution of the registration for the draft. The final reason was summed up by Tom Gillis, registered voter, says, ."Carter, has not shown any real leadership'qualities in his four years in office, with the Iranian crisis being the best example."

President Carter was backed up here on

campus by 36% of the people surveyed. Tom Rooney, not registered, feels, "Although Carter's administrationhas had many negative aspects", I feel his experience gives him a definite edge over Reagan. .In backing up Rooney's point Charles Lamberta, not registered, added, "In'the* past it's been shown second term presi­dent's have generally done a better job as they are not worried about their reelec­tion." • •>

- John Anderson did receive basically the same support here on campus as he has on most nationwide polls. Mike Wiese, feels,

"Anderson will represent a-break from tradition with his not owing any loyalty to either of the major parties." - ^

Finally, this poll brought out some write in-candidates. Helen Salmon, registered, says, "I still think Kennedy is the best choice and have chosen to back him." Other write-ins included:- Jim Raimo, Gerald Ford, and Father Richard LaMorte. The final jvrite-in was cast by Senior, Dick "Wheels" Keeling, who says, "I'm voting for Ray Perkins, head coach of the New-York Giants, so I can get him out of the Meadowlands and Football."

Regional History Conference Scheduled by Judy DiScipio

Staff writer

While in search of the Juliette Theater last Thursday night, Lauren Devlin, a junior at Marist College, questioned the

name of the statue at Reservoir Square, further commenting that it resembles the left-handed boy from "General Hospital."

-Who does the statue represent? The answer can be found in the local history room in Marist's own library. Unfortunately, many

True Spirit

Even though Marist is often referred to as a small college, it sometimes does not seem small enough. There are so many things go­ing on at one time that it is almost impossible to keep the whole community informed of everything. Sometimes things go unnoticed ' that people should really be aware of. This past weekend an incident occurred that the Circle Staff felt was extremely worthy of recognition, and that -most students • pro-

•.bably.aren!t,ey.en aware happened, i w i . The football team travelled to'

Massachusetts to compete against Lowell University this past weekend. This would naturally seem like an everyday road trip for the gridders. It was not. There seems to have been a shortage of travelling funds in the

.football team's budget and therefore the players had to pay $15.00 per person so that they could play, the already scheduled game. According to the team, Coach Malet ex­plained the situation and asked the players if they would be willing to pay the money.

The fact that they were even asked to con­

tribute to this cause seems.odd enough here. -''Why, with all the expanding of Marist Col­

lege, would we allow our own players to pay to play a game? Do we insist the faculty pay to teach a class? But even this is not the point

y here . What is, is that the team obliged to pay it!

Truly, the,third string player that paid to go knowing fully that he would probably

' spend most of his time on the bench should be commended. This shows an undying spirit on the team. 'The old cliche "one for all and all for one" seems to apply here. This shows that the football team possesses the unity that many teams continuously strive for yet never attain. - ' _

The Red Foxes have shown that they have the kind of spirit that Marist is trying to pro­mote today. The players did not have to sacrifice next week's meatball fiero and pay the $15.00. They chose to. This is something the Marist community should be proud of. Congratulations - Coach Malet, you have yourself one "helluva" squad!

Please Vote

/ Part of an education involves preparing

one for the outside world. While we are at Marist, it seems easy to forget about all the other things occurring around us. Now is one time in particular that it is imperative that we open our eyes.

Tuesday, November 4th is election day. It is one of the most important days of the year —it decides the future of our country. This is not something to be taken lightly. Our fate, lies in the hands of our government: During this time of the Hostage crisis and the Iraq and Iran war, it is essential that we choose an appropriate leader:

We are fortunate to live in a country that exercises the right to vote. We should no't abuse-this privilege. If you.are a registered voter, the Circle staff urges you to vote. If you are not a registered voter do so as soon as possible so that you can take advantage of this freedom. Make your voice heard. There seems little sense living in a democracy for the people if the people do not care enough to elect their own representatives. V ;

, During the sixties the most politically in-volved were the college students. They demonstrated their concern in numerous ways from stuffing envelopes for candidates

to the extremes of picketing disagreeable political actions. Whether or not the purpose of their actions was always justifiable, the importance of the student involvement dur­ing this period brought recognition to-the credibility of our age group.-

Following this accomplishment, the voting age was progressively lowered to eighteen years of age in most states. Yet with the dawn of the "Selfish Generation," college students turned'away from government con­cern to "self-awareness." Today, we have the opportunity to have a voice in the future of-our government, but as yet our generation remains statistically the lowest percentage of voters. .

Will it take another Vietnam, this time in the Middle East, to make the students show concern for their country? Hopefully not. There is still time to read up on the can­didates, watch the televised debate, and prepare ourselves to make an informed deci­sion on the presidential election. Next time, before we begin to complain about bur political situation,' let's know we at least made an effort to become concerned with our country by voting in the up-coming elec­tion. . . - .

Disappointed Alumnus To the Marist student communi­ty: '

I have felt many things for , Marist since I first became a stu­dent in 1975. My college years were filled with friendship, leafn-ingi and bittersweet memories I would not trade for anything;

;V; Those days were also confusing, ones, filled with anger -- with an. establishment that .could not please me, and with fellow students who wasted their oppor­tunities in a haze of beer and bit­terness. : : . . >'-:'_'• •''• ''J-'-.-':~

My emotions for Marist have run the gamut- - but they have never included shame. Not until this past weekend's homecoming., A time reserved' for those who have shared inMarist's past to return and experience its present. For this reason, many of the homecoming; events are purposely left unrestricted to alumni and students alike.

For those students who so rude­ly made the Friday Night Live

performance in the Pub an ex­perience I would like to forget - I thank you for unknowingly shar­ing with me your feelings about Marist, - and •. about yourself. Thank you for.: destroying any hopes I had that students after me would begin to use their anger to accomplish good for Marist— rather than continuing to refuse all that is offered to them by ad­ministration! faculty, and alumni.

Mosf-of- all, thank you for reminding- me to be thankful. Somewhere along the line I learn­ed to direct my anger to be con-

v structive, rather than let it destroy 1 the memories of those who have made Marist what it is today. And whether Marist meets your high expectations or whether it does not -'- you are still there, aren't y o u ? • • . • • • , . . . ' • - - • • ' " ' • . ' • ' • ;

Will Marist still be there when you reach back? Of will your anger destroy that too? \

Regretfully, Connie Fisher,^'78

Soccer Machine Rolls On, Record two shutouts after suffering first defeat

\ October 30,1980 THE CIRCLE-Page 7 \

9-0 by Dennis Martin

Staff writer

s Over the last two weeks, the Marist soc­cer team experienced its first loss and its greatest offensive, output of the season. Marist lost its first game of the year by los­ing to Keene State 3-2 in double overtime. Their three victories were over Pratt 5-0, St. John's 1-0, and their most recent vic­tory over Seton Hall 9-0.

Goal barrage

Seton Hall came to Marist this past Wednesday, and they promptly became the victims of Marist's greatest offensive out­

put of the season. Marist quickly dominated the game as junior Knut Roald scored an unassisted goal just 4:21 into the first half. Oyvind Larssen followed Roald's goal, by scoring 1:07 later. The goal was assisted by Julio Rostran. Senior Billy Cooper then scored 30 seconds later on an unassisted goal to make the score 3-0. '

The parade of goals continued just 2:28 later, as Tom Homola was able to score an unassisted goal. Marist's fifth goal came with 31:59 left in the half, as Ed Issacson scored. Cooper received the assist. The sixth goal was then scored with 24:22 left in the half, as freshman Joe Vasile-Cozzo

The Marist Cross County team finished eighth in the Albany Invitational on Satur­day despite assorted injuries to seven of the teams top runners. Because of the bad weather conditions at Albany and a slight flu epidemic throughout the team, the race was looked at as a preparation for this week's big one at Indiana, Penn., the NCAA Div. II. National Qualifying Com­petition. Paul Welsh, at sixth place, and Matt Cole at eleventh were Marist's top finishers at Albany.

The top four Cross County teams of Division II will be decided this weekend at Indiana; with the best four teams traveling

to Wisconsin for the nationals. Marist is presently ranked ninth in the division, but coach Bob Mayerhoffer feels that the rank­ing may not be totally accurate. "Indiana University and Shippensburg State are the two favorites," said the coach, "and there are six teams that are in contention for the :

other two spots. I believe Marist is one of them."

One of the reasons Mayerhoffer is so confident is the fact that he held out the majority of his best runners for this race. "Everyone of our runners has had at least one excellent race," said Mayerhoffer. "It's difficult to do, but if they can each duplicate that race, then we have an ex­cellent chance."

Special to the Circle

Thirteen basketball players, including four* freshmen, reported for practice Wednesday, October 15th as the Marist College "Red Foxes" begin preparation

"for what is expected to be Marist's most competitive year ever.

Senior Bill DeWinne, a 6'8" center from Wychoff, N.J. and 6'5"_ forward Steve Smith from White Plains, N.Y. will lead a squad that faces the likes of Northeastern (Season opener-Dec. 2), Drexel (Jan. 7), Fordham (Dec. 23), and_Maine (Feb. 21). Both played a key role last year in upsets overhighly touted Division II powers Hart-wickTSacred Hecrti and Philadelphia Tex­tile. There performances did not go un­noticed as both Smith and DeWinne were selected to the ECAC Honor Roll on several occasions. Smith concluded the 1979-80 season with ECAC Rookie' of the Year honors and Basketball Weekly's Freshman All Star status. Both should be instrumental towards a successful season this year.

Joining them will be veterans Barry Jamison, a 6'3" guard from Wheatoh, Maryland; Todd-Haslcr, a 6*3" guard from Forrestville, Conn.; Rufus Cooper, a 6'0" guard from West Haven.-Conn., and Tom Crotty, a 5'10" guard from Merrick, N.Y.

Steve Eggink, a 6'5" forward from Eugene, Oregon,,will be joining this year's squad with a background of being named twice as an AH State selection at Marist High School in Oregon and having led his team to two consecutive state cham­pionships. Tom Meekins, a 5'10" guard will be playing for Marist having been named Most Valuable Athlete at Mackin

High School in Washington, D.C. Meekins comes from' a tradition of strong-point guards out of Mackin including such notables as VDuck" Williams, Austin Carr, and KenPayne. Also competing for a starting guard position will be 6'1" Nor­man Scullark, a transfer from Centenary" College in Louisiana. Scullark has had an exceptional background playing basketball for Brandeis High School and Lon Morris Junior College.

. until the second quarter that Marist began to take charge on defense, and tied the score on a 90 yard run by Preston Felton. One pf the fine offensive standouts this season, the score was Felton's 4th time over the goal this season,- and his run put him over the 100 yard mark in rushing.

f. Still in the second quarter, Red Fox quarterback Jim-Cleary completed a suc­cessful scoring drive with a 65 yard run to give Marist a 13-7 lead. As the game grew, so did the winds and rain and neither school was able to do anything with the ball on offense. Forced to "punt,the ball late in the fourth quarter, Marist decided that the Red Foxes would be better off with a free kick and had quarterback Cleary run to the

' end zone for the safety, giving Lowell two more points. Tommy Huber kicked off for Marist, and the Lowell "offense took con­trol on their own 25 yard line. Several plays

y later Marist found-theirjjacks against the : wall as Lowell hadthe ball first and goal oh the Red Foxes 10 yard line.Twbplays latef"-it was third down and one and 'then-all the trouble started. v; ' '• " . .-; _

With 12 seconds to g6i Lowell, set over the ball with Marist now leading 13^9. On

. this third and goal play from the one, the Red Foxes jumped off-sides,.and the off­sides penalty was assessed. It is here that the official had two choices: •-•"'•• , 1) Place the football Vi the distance of the goal and start the clock.

2) If Marist had jumped offsides on pur­pose to run the time, the clock is re-set until theball'is'snapped. ' •.'.'"'

Going with the first option,- the official, placed the ball half the distance of the goal and started the clock, which now had three seconds remaining. Lowell was unable to get the snap off and the Red Foxes took off to the locker room with a 13-9 victory. Right?'Not to the officials, who claimed that the game cannot end on a" defensive penalty! This forced both schools back in the field,;where a rejuvenated Lowell got another shot and ran up the middle for the score and the 15-13 victory from Marist, which only'30 .seconds earlier was celebrating their victory. Right?

Not to Marist head.coach Mike Malet, who argued that the 1st play of the game was not the Marist offsides, but in fact the Lowell first attempt to get the snap off. "A human error was-made by the official, and I immediately protested the game,'' com­mented coach Malet earlier this week. "I called the ECAC (Eastern College Athletic Conference),; and they tbld me I was "ab­solutely right, and that the official had made a mistake. All this will.come to no avail as there is no appeal process in college football, 'and no score has ever been reversed. " - : .

To add to the now disappointing season is theJact that several starting and reserve players have for some reason quit the team. Cbach^Malet gave his "comment as, "for those who Heft,"" there are a number of reasons, and all the mature young men put football in different prospectives. Some had classroom obligtions and outside com­mitments that left them with that decision. AH informed me of this, and I would be more than happy to have any of them try for trie team next season."

by Mike McCarthy-Have you ever wondered what it's like

. for an athlete to sustain an injury, and have to watch his teammates perform on the field? A star athlete, racking up stats at a record-setting pace,,and then realizing his season has come to an end? Marist College

' has an athlete in that identical situation, a particularly good one named Louis-Cor-s e t t i . , . - "-;; •'••"•, __ .

Corsetti, who. at the time of his injury was leading the Met Conference in-kickoff returns, is in a very frustrating situation. "Dennis Diesel, Joe Katz and myself are all in tough spots," says Corsetti about his predicament. "You wish you could do_ something, but you can't."

- Corsetti didn't learn of his injury im-. mediately". "I just had the casf put on Fri­day and I watched practice that afternoon. It didn't even dawn on me that I'd be out for the year." But once lie did he found it quite difficult to watch his teammates play, but.especially while they're being defeated.

S "It's frustrating' when they• lose," says Corsetti. "I want to be. out there, be a part of that 11-man tackle. Now it feels like I have nothing to slioot for." Corsetti's per­sonal character is also not exactly con­ducive to^'-watching" a game rather tharK playing irilt. "Some. of;my buddies said it. was a good thing I couldn't afford to go to

There was' a tremendous addition made, to every Marist athletic team this year, and it is not a 6'8" super-player or even a new wing on the McCann Center. It is Marist's first athletic trainer, Mr. Bill'Rice. If you are unaware of the advantages an athletic trainer has at a school, read on:

"A trainer relieves the various coaches of an added burden," says Rice. "Whereas, in the past the coach of a team had to take charge of equipment, injury care and tap­ing, they can now worry solely about their particular contests." There is also another advantage, one that might be hidden from

'the casual sports fan. "The trainer has an impartial view' on an injury," says^Rice. While a coach can't help but be biased about the winning or losing of a particular

-game, the trainer is concerned with an athletes life after his playing career. "I

don't want a guy having a limp '10 years after he's graduated, asking himself if he should have played in that game,", says Rice. "My job is to let the coaches know who should practice and who shouldn't, who can practice but shouldn't hit, and so on."

Rice was also very insightful on athletic injuries as a whole. "The best medical treatment is given to _the professional player, but that represents the smallest "percentage of athletes," said Rice.

Rice also serves as the intramurals direc­tor for Marist. "I'm a firm"believer in com­petition, it's healthy for all students," said Rice. "I'd like to see more women compete though; nobody excluded them from the program." '

In closing, Rice gave his description of a perfect game for any Marist team. "We all come out healthy," said Rice." "Winning is great, but it's not the priority, health is."

Frustration Of a Sideline Star - the Lowell game, because I would have rip­

ped my cast off and ran out there," Cor­setti adds., . There are still some things Lou is doing for the team however, even though he's not running back any more touchdowns. "I sit in the press box and talk to the coaches about what I see out there, what I think the defensive backs should be doing. Coach Malet will'be asking me about Pace this we.ek because they pass a lot." says Cor--setti. "I might' b? able to pick up spine good points. Anyway I can help the team" I'll try." . ,

"One problem facing the Marist squad right now is a rumor that some players are contemplating leaving the team. Lou and-his teammates do not have too much' /espect.for that type of thinking. "I don't think that's right," says Corsetti. "We've been working hard since August, and to packjt in now just isn't the right attitude. When the rats jump off the ship, it goes right down," quipped Corsetti.

There is a spark of good news for Marist , fans regarding Corsetti, however. He will

be in full strength for the lacrosse season. "We'll be strong this* year, "says Corsetti. "Most of our strong players will be back,-and I think we can take the league.' The spirit that is alive in Lou Corsetti Tight down to his injured foot is the.kind that makes a Marist student proud. Corsetti being congratulated by President Murray.
