support group
ARIST COLLEGE COULD TEACH YOU
ATHING OR TWO ABOUT HOME OWNERSHIP.
by Kelly Woods
Citing student need and interest, several Marist administrators and staff
members have formed a gay-lesbian support group on campus.
"Students came to campus ministry, mentors and the counseling center
asking for a group to begin," said Barbara Fries, a counselor at the Marist
Counseling Center and one of the coordinators of the group. "There
was a need for the group at this time and for the people to feel protected."
Student inquires last spring prompted Fries to join with Sister Eileen
Halloran, director of Campus Ministry and Gary Comstock, adjunct instructor of philosophy, to create the Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual Support
Group.
Deborah DiCaprio, assistant dean of student affairs and a counselor
for the group, stressed that the group does not conflict with Marist's
Judeo-Christian tradition, since its formation in no way implies that the
college advocates homosexuality.
"The purpose of the support group is to provide opportunity to get
support in a person's life if they need it," said DiCaprio, "We have many
other support groups on campus dealing with alcohol and drugs, but it
doesn't mean the college condones them (alcohol and drugs)."
Presently, no meetings have been set because the contacts of the support group are waiting for the response of the students.
Contacts for the support group are mentors and residence directors
who have volunteered to be committee members and have attended a
workshop on homophobia.
Since meetings will not be made public, the contact members have the
the responsibility of meeting any student who calls and then informing
him or her of future meetings.
"It's not that we want it to be a secretive thing, but students want
safe space and that is what we're respecting," said Comstock, a Protestant minister.
The topics for each meeting, at which a committee member will always
be in attendance, will be determined by the students.
Comstock, who is gay, said he will be attending each meeting.
"I have the experience of being gay and can understand the problems,"
he said.
Group sponsors formally announced formation of the group last week
in a Circle advertisement.
Halloran said the group fits in with the purpose of the Campus
Ministry, since it supports the needs and growth of campus individuals.
"We are not working out of moral or judgmental view, but supporting the development of a person to the fullest," said Halloran
"We
are dealing with the individual's needs and not the church's beliefs.
"Campus ministry does not cater to just a select few who say they
are Roman Catholic, but to the needs of all the students. It is a nondenomination, which ministers to all people."
Comstock said that the support group should not be taken politically.
"We are not promoting a point of view, but want discussion," Fries
said.

Marist meets Madison Avenue:
college featured in national ads
by Steven Murray
A Marist alumnus arranged an
advertising opportunity for his
aima mater that "any college in the
country would give its eyeteeth
for," according to Paul Browne,
the vice president for college
advancement.
Peter C. Hanley, a 1964 graduate
and a member of the college's
board of trustees, orchestrated an
advertising campaign featuring
President Dennis Murray and
Marist students that has run fullpage ads in The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post,
Newsweek and Barron's, Browne
said.
The advertisment was taken by
Freddie Mac, a federal Home Mortgage Assistance Corporation
created by Congress in which
Marist invests. The ad pictures
Murray and 28 Marist students
standing on the front lawn of a
house for sale in LaGrangeville,
N.Y.
The ad first ran in The Wall
Street Journal on Monday, Sept.
11, and was to be printed in that
newspaper again today. The advertisement is also scheduled to run in
The Post and Barron's twice each,
in a regional edition of Newsweek
and in some smaller publications.
Browne credited Hanley for getting Marist in the ad. Hanley is a
senior vice president of the J.
Walter Thompson Advertising
Agency, the group that is handling
the campaign for Freddie Mac.
When Freddie Mac executives
said they wanted to use an investor
in their ad, Hanley called Marist to
see if the college is an investor in
the company, Browne said. Hanley
then recommended the school to
Freddie Mac.
Browne said the ad campaign,
which gives the college $300,000
worth of national exposure, is better than any advertisement the
school could have created because
it presents another organization
praising Marist.
In the first paragraph of the ad,
Marist is referred to as being
"among the nation's top liberal
arts schools."
"In a sense, it's better than
anything we could have done,"
Browne said. "Any college would
have wanted this kind of positive
advertisement in one of the nation's most prestigous publications
(The Wall Street Journal)."
It would have cost Marist
$40,000 to run the ad for one day
in The Journal, which, with a circulation of 2,026,000, is the highest
circulated daily newspaper in the
country.

Those students on the meal plan
are utilizing the deli bar, salad bar
and ice cream bar as well as eating
lots of pasta, hamburgers and
chicken patties, said Lewis.
"Depending on what students
choose to eat, a well balanced meal
is certainly provided at all meals,"
said Lewis.
Many students who are on the
meal plan provided by the Seilers
claim to eat less than they do when
they are living at home.
"I definitely eat less now," said
Ann Ayotte, a freshman Champagnat resident from Sharon,
Mass. "At home I usually have a
set schedule for meals, but at college I eat whenever. I really do miss
Mom's cooking," Ayotte said.
Audra Smith, a freshman social
work major from Stafford Springs,
Conn., said the food served in her
high school cafeteria was better
than the food here.
"I mostly eat salad because I
don't like the food," Smith said.
"And every chance I get I go out
to eat."
The North End students and
those residing at Canterbury
Garden Apartments, an offcampus apartment complex located
five miles from the college, are not
exempt from this change in eating
habits.
"I am eating less than I did when
I was on the meal plan," said
Townhouse resident Jim Joseph, a
junior from Bronx, N.Y.
"I would gorge myself at meal
times because it was all you can
eat," Joseph said.
He said he is more conscious
now of what he eats because he is
doing his own shopping and cooking his own meals.
Peanut butter and jelly, along
with Fruit Loops were the usual
dinner menu for Canterbury resident Joanne Brynes, when she was
on the meal plan.
"Since I moved out to Canterbury, I started eating prepared
frozen dinners and I am more
satisfied," said Brynes, a senior
from New Rochelle, N.Y.

Research shows
100 frosh will go
by Jennifer Becker
The freshman class will have about 100 less members at the end of
this year if Marist's current dropout rate of 15 percent holds steady, according to Marilyn Poris, director of institutional research.
About half of the dropouts are academicly dismissed from Marist. The
remaining cite the following reasons for their departure:
— Problems with the professors
— Roommate conflicts
— Financial difficulties
— Being cut from a team
But Poris said the real reason students leave is a mystery because what
they report to the administration may or may not be true. The inability
to make the necessary adjustments and friendships causes freshmen to
withdraw, she said.
"Freshmen are faced with a dramatic change in their lives when compared to the structured high school and home environment." The students
have a lot more responsibility and are more independent. There is a lot
more they have to be capable of handling," Poris said.
Poris urges the freshmen with difficulties to talk with professors, mentors, advisors, residence directors and residence assistants or the professionals at the Marist Counseling Center in the Byrne Residence for help.
For the sophomores who leave, it's more a matter of choice. Although
their academic dismissal rate is lower, many choose to transfer, Poris
said. This, she said, keeps the retention rate equal for freshmen and
sophomores.
Since they've made the adjustments, few juniors and seniors leave,
Poris said.
She urged the upperclassmen toshare their experiences. "Be aware
and reach out a helping hand," she said. "By reaching out and helping
others, we may all learn something in return."
Don't get wrecked. If you're not

While most members of the
Marist community packed up for
summer jobs and tans in May,
others opted to spend their summers at Marist — earning credits
and cash.
According to -Robin - Will, secretary in the Office of Housing
and Residential Life, anyone
choosing to reside on campus had
to be taking summer credits, working on campus or partaking in an
area summer internship or co-op.
About 30 students resided on
campus during each of the three
summer sessions, said Will. The
students had to fill out a registration form and pay $70 per week,
plus a $50 security deposit.
"This year we chose to condense
the residents into the Gartland
Commons apartments so they
would all be located in the same
general area'," Will said.
Denise Perreault, a senior from
Burnt Hills, N.Y., spent the past
two summers here selling IBM
computers to Marist students and
faculty.
Perreault said she did not think
it was worth the money she paid
last year to live in Gregory House
because of the lack of maintenance
attention.
"We had rats, we had to empty
our own garbage and steal toilet
paper," she said. "They should
have paid us!"
This summer had a quieter tone
— almost too quiet.
"It's very peaceful during the
summer, but the social life is
definitely lacking," Perreault said.
Senior Sue Lozinski agrees that
this summer was a little too serene.
"Sometimes it got very lonely,"
Lozinski said.
Responding to an ad in The Circle last May, Lozinski landed a
summer job in the housing office.
"I knew I did not want to spend
another summer as a cashier at the
corner drugstore," said the Bristol,
Conn, resident.
Since she was on campus, Lozinski decided to take a class in
medieval literature.
As a nightly ritual, she would sit
on the stone wall located adjacent
to Gartland Commons to watch the
sunset.

However, Kilbourne did not have an
answer as to how such counter advertisements will be accepted. Already, many
advertisers have pulled out of certain media
outlets when alcohol or drug awareness articles or programs have been featured within
it. The media is not pleased when these
advertisements are withdrawn because of the
monetary loss, Kilbourne said.
It is also difficult to encourage the media
to accept such counter advertisements
because alcohol is such a money-maker,
Kilbourne said. The alcohol industry's
revenue is more than $65 billion and each
year it spends more than $1 billion on advertising alone, she said.
Ironically, Kilbourne said, the money
spent on alcohol advertising is twice that of
the government's spending to correct the
problem.
After last Friday night, Marist College students who frequently drink
alcohol off campus may already be assigning designated driver duties

Police cannot stop cars randomly at a roadblock, Woods said. Every
car is checked or cars may be stopped intermittently, Woods said.
If there is suspicion that a driver has been drinking, police can use
a portable alcohol censor to measure the driver's blood alcohol level or
use tests such as walking a straight line to determine if the driver is legally drunk, Woods said.
Most state laws consider a person with a .10 blood alcohol level as
legally drunk.

Michael Houston, a sophomore Champagnat Hall resident, was admitted to St. Francis Hospital in Poughkeepsie early Sunday morning
for severe alcohol intoxication, according to the Office of Safety and
Security.
Security and Residence Director Susan Kabat assisted Houston to the
hospital and he was released at at about 5:30 a.m. Sunday, Houston said
this week.
Houston said he received a shot to lessen the alcohol's effects but did
not have to have his stomach pumped.
According to Houston, after friends helped him to Champagnat Hall,
Security and Kabat contacted his parents. Kabat would not comment
on the incident.
Houston was sent to St. Francis between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m., according to Security.
Houston said he regained consciousness in the ambulance but had to
be strapped down after refusing to go to the hospital.
Houston said he had been drinking heavily off campus with several
friends before he returned to campus and passed out in front of Leo Hall.

However, advertisements do hold a
substantial portion of the responsibility for
the pushing of alcohol, said Kilbourne. She
said ads have only three purposes: to recruit
new users, to increase consumption of the
product and to assist potential buyers in
choosing among competing brands.
"These advertisements sell values, images
and concepts of success and worth, love and
sexuality, popularity and normalcy. Ironically, most of these values sold in alcohol advertisements are the very opposite of its effects
in reality," said Kilbourne, who has been interviewed on the "Today Show" and "Hour
Magazine."
Kilbourne featured ads of Spuds McKenzie with the logo "Party Frenzy" on it,
athletes with beer bottles in hands and on
bikes and surfers riding waves on Budweiser
bottles. These are examples of the false
values and images illustrated within many
alcohol advertisements, Kilbourne said.
Kilbourne's proposed solutions for the
alcohol and advertising dilemma include
counter advertising with a higher tax on
alcohol to compensate for these advertising
costs.

Kilbourne said. But, according to Kilbourne,
the fault isn't entirely that of the advertisers.
The media plays a key role in the "selling"
of an audience to advertising agencies.
"We are sold to advertisers. Programs just
gather an audience for the commercial,"
Kilbourne said.
She illustrated this through an advertisement that Family Circle magazine sent to
alcohol marketers. The ad broke down the
magazine's readership into categories of
specific alcohol consumption rates. It also
urged advertisers to place an ad with Family Circle and prosper.

Hammers and
headaches
The letters which spell Marist are still missing.
The hunt continues for the letters that stuck to the stone wall
in the front yard of the campus. The bare spot before "college"
is embarassing and ridiculous. In a broader sense, it seems as
though part of the school's identity is unclear.
Campus facilities have changed so drastically, so quickly, is this
the same Marist College?
A frequent criticism of the college is the usually slow pace at
which these projects progress. Now there is a new concern: are
we trying to do too much at once?
Few corners of the campus have missed the swath of jackhammers and bulldozers.
The Donnelly Hall renovation is the most obvious example. In
addition, the basement of the Lowell Thomas Communications
Center is open; the front of Marist East will soon be closed.
They're still fixing Champagnat Hall; other dorms have new
bathrooms and the roads between them are torn up.
And there's more. The most important part of this construction frenzy is the new classroom building, the future Dyson Center
or something. When that starts next month, supposedly, the
blasting will intensify and the dust will thicken. That's already
happening in Donnelly.
There's no guarantee the environment will calm soon. Summer
was hot and loud around here, and in consideration of those who
had to work through it all, it was distracting at best. Even though
the Donnelly project is winding down this fall, more disruption
will take its place.
No ivy walls will muffle this strain. Did this all have to happen
at once?
Distinguish the essential projects from the unnecessary ones and
consider whether we should tackle each plan separately, in order
of priority.
The administration may not have realized when it tore up Donnelly that the Marist East fire code problems would restrict the
use of that building. But if the new classroom building will really
be up in seven or eight months, and since the Donnelly project
has dragged, why not build the classroom building first to make
provisions for the Donnelly inconvenience and shut the door on
Marist East at the same time?
But it's not so simple. President Dennis Murray is taking a
cautious wait-and-see attitude on the new building, even though
everyone else says it will go up on schedule.
Another thing to consider is the administration's strong concern for the college's image. Administrators hail Marist as a liberal
arts college that is preparing for the next decade with advanced
technology and new facilities. That attracts more students and
more donors.
Are we paying for our future by compromising the present?

Your remarks (found in Paul
O'Sullivan's column last week) are
founded on half-truths and
downright naivety. As a resident of
New York City, I knew it was only
a matter of time before a pebble
was tossed into the water, creating
a disturbance, meaning the Bensonhurst killing. No doubt, it was
a brutal, senseless murder,
motivated by the depth, blinding
hatred that has been passed from
each generation to young, white
Americans. In New York City,
minorities are whites live on the
edge, awaiting the slightest incident, for their true hatred to erupt.
And it has.
Why would you suppose that the
alleged killers of Yusef Hawkins
even knew about the March on
Washington? Do you really thing
their parents or even their school
system took more than thirty
seconds to mention a historical
event encouraging civil rights for
black people? I think not.

OR. GvrH SAYS <t*S'
Bush misses the point
on a burning issue
Give George Bush a lot of credit.
He knows how to stay popular.
Who else has the political savvy
to find an issue that almost eighty
percent of Americans agree on and
get right out in front of it?
Unfortunately, Bush, along with
most Americans, does not see the
real issue in the flag-burning
controversy.
Last week, the U.S. House of
Representatives voted 380 to 38 in
favor'of bill that if enacted into
law, would outlaw the desecration
of the U.S. flag. This was in
response to a June Supreme Court
ruling that declared unconstitional
a Texas law forbidding flag
burning.
The Court's 5-4 decision so
enraged the president that he took
the lead in calling for a constitutional amendment banning the
desecration of Old Glory. The bill
recently passed by the House is not
enough for Bush and other supporters of an amendement, who
feel that only changing the Constitution will put the flag out of the
Supreme Court's reach.
What Bush is leading here is a
crusade for frivolity and simplemindedness, not unlike his
November campaign. Granted, the
president is a decorated veteran and
it would be difficult to expect any
man who has put his life on the line
for his country to allow the
desecration of a symbol as powerful as the flag.
But we pay Bush to think with
his head, not his medals. His job
is to "uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States" not
lead a charge against a part of it
that he doesn't like.
Where is the George Bush that
so staunchly defended freedom of
expression when the Ayatollah
Khomeini pronounced his death
sentence on Salman Rushdie for
slandering the prophet Mohammed? Does Bush's belief in freedom
of speech stand only when the
Thinking

the
lines
Paul O'Sullivan
speech in question does not offend
him?
Bush and the rest of those playing politics with the flag issue are
missing the entire point of the First
Amendment. The mark of a truly
free society is not that it can
tolerate views that it disagrees with
a little bit. It is that it allows the
extremeists a voice and lets the free
maketplace of ideas determine
whether or not the view is a valid
one.
Justice William J. Brennan put
it best in his majority opinion: "If
there is a bedrock principle
underlying the First Amendment,
it is that the government may not
prohibit the expression of an idea
simply because society finds the
idea
itself
offensive
or
disagreeable."
If the Court were to base its decisions their popularity, would there
have been a Brown v. Board of
Education to desegregate the
schools? Isn't the purpose of having an appointed Supreme Court
instead of an elected one to insulate
them from shifting opinions and
political maneuvering?
The supporters of the amendment would have the nation believe
that if you are against their cause,
you are unpatriotic. Nothing could
be further from the truth. The flagburning issue is one of rights, not
love of country. "America: love it
or leave it" expresses bigotry, not
patriotism.
The decision has not sparked
millions of flag-burning protests
across the country. If it has done
anything, it probably has reduced
them. The ruling brought about
such an outcry that any radical who
was even thinking of burning a flag
would see that doing so would not
promote his or her cause, it would
only make it more unpopular.
Those who support the amendment seem to want patriotism to be
easy; pass a law and that takes care
of that. But shouldn't loving one's
country require something more?
Veterans have given their time,
limbs and lives to show that they
love their country, but what of the
rest of us?
How many of us celebrate
Veteran's Day? How many of us
even know when Veteran's Day is?
The kind of outpouring of
patriotism that resulted from the
Supreme Court decision should be
the rule, not the exception. Love of
country should not be expressed
only when it is threatened.
In the flag burning decision, the
Supreme Court gave Americans a
much-needed kick in the patriotick
butt, as well as reminding us that
the Constitution represents all
viewpoints, not just the ones we
like. Let's forget the amendment
and remember the lesson.
Corrections
Two articles in last week's Circle
incorrectly reported the location of
Waryas Park in Poughkeepsie,
where four rowers from the United
States Disabled Rowing Team stopped on their way to New York
from Albany. The Hudson River
waterfront park is 1500 meters
south
of the college.
Another article last week incorrectly reported the model of the IBM
mainframe to which the college
converted over the summer. The
computer is the IBM 3090 Model

yourself, who claim "equality" for
all and swear up and down, "I have
Black friends!", really feel.
What annoyed me the most was
your statement about Malcolm X,
and how whites shudder at him.
The media of the Sixties turned
Malcolm X into a harsh, demonic,
fanatic whose only aim was to
obliterate white people. This is a
totally false idea. Malcolm X was
a deeply religious, reighteous man
who learned from his mistakes, and
attempted to make his own people
aware of themselves. He told the
truth to the white man in those
days and they could not accept it.
So, he is immediately categorized
and filed away in the fanatic file.
When will America realize what it
has done to blacks and all
minorities for hundreds of years?
I'm afraid time is not the answer
to eliminating prejudices, action is,
and if it takes another strong leader
like Malcolm X, then let it be done.

You speak of the '60's and what
Americans have gained; the integration of school and the destruction of many of the racial barriers
in the South. This is what Malcolm
X had to say about integration and
the South: "The White Southerner,
you can say one thing - he is
honest. He bares his teeth to the
black man; he tells the black man,
to his face, that Southern whites
never will accept phony integration." It is a fact that today, in our
modern and "open-minded" times,
Southerners still practice segregation, maybe not as blatantly, but
it is there. Do you honestly believe
that integration was a blessing in
the eyes of white folk, that they
welcomed minorities with open
arms?
Tell me, Mr. O'Sullivan, if you
broke up with your girlfriend and
she began dating a black man,
wouldn't you feel like that was a
slap in your face? If you are true
to yourself, you would feel that
way and it is just an example of

You know, if it weren't for
sports, "Married with Children,"
and "Cheers" reruns, I probably
wouldn't watch TV at all.
The reason for this can easily be
traced to two new TV shows that
I had the fortune or misfortune of
watching this past weekend. The
shows were "Rollergames" and
"American Gladiators." That
should tell you all you need to
know.
"Rollergames" is simply a hyped
up, glamourized, 1990s version of
roller derby. There are a few new
rules but overall it is nothing more
than legalized violence.
Now I know that this is exactly
what WWF wrestling is but there
is one major difference with
"Rollergames." The difference is
that it isn't even as ridiculously
humorous as the WWF. There is
absolutely nothing interesting
about it. Even people who like watching people beat the hell out of
one another will find this show
stupid. Believe it or not the fights
and violence in "Rollergames" are
staged worse than that of
"GLOW" ("Gorgeous Ladies of
Wrestling") and that is an
accomplishment.
The thing about "American
Gladiators" is that I cannot figure
out what the point is.
In the show, everyday athletic
type people try to gain points by
competing in various events against
bodybuilder-type men and women.
The events include the "Joust"
which is basically two people hitting each other with padded oars
on a two-foot-wide plank 15-feet
off of the ground. The winner is
the first person to knock the other
person off of the plank. Inevitably
the winner is the bodybuilder-type
people that are regulars on the
show. Don't worry, the ground is
padded also.
What makes this show even
worse is that it is hosted by Joe
Theismann. How can a guy go
from NFL quarterback to an ABC
Monday Night Football announcer
to the host of this? The money had
better be really, really, good Joe.
********
Now, more of this weeks random, worthless opinions.
I know it is not my area, but if
you ever get a chance to see
Physical Graffiti perform at The
Chance, or anywhere for that matter, don't pass it up.
"The Wonder Years" is one of
the few areas of this 1960s revival
that is worthwhile in 1989.
Add every Mel Brooks movie to
your "required viewing" list.
The only thing worse than watching a Red Sox game is watching
a Yankee game. Although I must
admit that watching a Met game
hasn't exactly been a barrel of fun
lately either.
But I would still rather watch the
Red Sox play the Yankees with the
Mets umpiring than watch
"Rollergames."
A man that was lost at sea 72
years ago was found floating on a
raft alive the other day. No, really, its true. I read it in the "Weekly World News."

We, along with President Murray believe the establishment of an
Amnesty International Group on
the Marist campus will be yet
another way in which the college
can fulfillpart of its mission statement. The college is dedicated to
preparing students for life in the
global community in the 2lst century by "exposing them to the
values of particular cultures and to
the values that both transcend and
link particular cultures."
Two and one-half years ago one
of our colleagues, Dr. Andrew
Kayiira of the criminal justice
faculty was brutally murdered
while attempting to improve the
human rights situation in his native
Uganda. Those who knew Andrew
would probably agree that continu-
ing the worldwide struggle for
humanrightsthrough the vehicle of
a campus AI group might be an extremely appropriate memorial for
him.
If you are interested in seeing
Amnesty International come to
Marist and would like to participate, please drop us a note in
care of the Division of Humanities.
Your timely response would be
deeply appreciated.

As a member of the Commencement Committee, I really appreciated the kind words expressed in your 9/14/89 editorial. As
you stated, the graduates also
deserve much of the credit for
deporting themselves in a manner
befitting educated, responsible
adults. They set a standard that will
be difficult to surpass. I wonder if
the Class of 1990 is up to the task?

The voice of rock music is
changing dudes, so listen up.
Women are being heard from more
than ever.
Now I'm not counting the Tiffanies or the Jody Whatleys of the
world. Those are the girls who quit
their sales positions at Bennetton
and became millionaires thanks to
slick packaging and a little wiggle.
No, I'm talking about Melissa
Etheridge, Tracy Chapman, Toni
Childs, the Indigo Girls, and other
women who are contributing more
to the music scene than mediocre
bubble gum pop.
It isn't difficult to trace the,
history of women in rock, since
there were never many around
names that quickly come to mind:
Martha and the Vandellas, the
Shirelles, Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell,
Mary Travers (of Peter, Paul and
...), Janis Joplin, Joan Armatrading, Patti Smith, Debbie
Harry, Pat Benatar, Patty Smyth
(Scandal). I'm sure that I've missed a few, but there never were a
whole lot of ladies in the business.
That's definitely changing. I
think Suzanne Vega did a lot to
pave the way earlier in the '80s. Her
unexpected popularity made record
executives open their eyes and say,
"Gee whiz, Girls can make records
too!" Then Tracy Chapman came
in and proved that not only could
women make records, but they can
sell millions of them, and they
don't have to be teenage sex kittens
and flash their tattooed butts on
MTV to get noticed.
In fact, many of the women
making good music aren't the most
attractive creatures on the planet,
but who cares? They're for real.
They put their energy into the
music, not into Aqua Net and flesh
strangling jeans. Sure, Samantha
Fox looks great, but is looking
great a talent? Let's say it out loud,
kids — sex sells.
But now there's a shred of justice
in the world because good music is
selling, too. Just last summer it was
hard to escape the sound of
"Closer to Fine" by the Indigo
Girls or Melissa Etheridge's
"Similar Features." Even analretentive stations like New York's
WNEW were playing them (seventy times a day, that's their style).
Maria McKee (of the sadly missed Lone Justice) and Syd Straw
both put out solo albums over the
summer. I picked up the Syd Straw
disc and, though it has its flaws, it
deserves a listen. Straw's got the
ultimate folk voice but keeps a hard
edge that saves her from getting too
sweet (which she has a tendency to
do). The Best song is "Future Forties" with R.E.M. front man
Michael Stipe. The album doesn't
reach the level of her stints with the
Golden Palominos, but it's a promising debut. I haven't heard
Maria McKee's record yet, it's supposed to be great (if you believe
record reviews).
Edie Brickell was the only
woman I saw in concert last sum.mer, with New Bohemians. The
band surprised me with their
sound. They were more impressive
live than on their album.
I wish I could say the same for
Edie. Performers don't have to
juggle flaming bowling balls or
shoot from a cannon, but a little
stage presence is always a plus.
Edie had all the presence of a can
of tuna. She sang. She swayed her
arms (twice, I think). She said
"thanks" after every song. Other
than that, she displayed few vital
signs. A mannequin with a
voicebox could have done her
show. She's got to get a lot more
into it if New Bohemians are going to make it as a live band. The
music was fantastic, though.
It's a good time for women in
the rock "industry. (All you girls
with guitars take notice.) Thank
God it's not Joan Jett and Madonna getting all the attention
anymore. Gimmicks are out and
(although I hate the term) artistic
integrity is in. If you're female and
you want to make a record these
days, you don't have to pile up
your cleavage and wear leather
lingerie.
Of course, if that's your scene,
don't let me discourage you.
You've come a long way, baby.
END NOTES: Tracy Chapman
has a new album due out very, very
soon. It's crucially important that
you buy it.

I think there is a definite problem here. When a college student
has to forfeit his/her hot dog in
pursuit of a parking space, the problem then becomes a travesty of
justice.
Just think of those plump little
weiners burnt to a black perfection
in the classic Seillers style, practically jumping out of their holding
bin, with little tears in their eyes,
perhaps even split down the sides:
the scars of war.
The ramifications go even deeper
than the surface hot dog sales.
If we can't find parking spaces
and therefore can't support
Seillers, just think of the jobs that
are in jeopardy. Think of the
heroes and role models that helped
formulate the people many of us
are today!
Personally, when I think of
Seillers, I'm not thinking food service industry. I think educational
institution. The last thing I think
of is food.
This lack of parking, it's plain to
see, could ultimately undermine the
very core of one of the most
dynamic corporations the world
has ever seen.
Just think of the manager in
charge of marketing at Seillers who
thought of the brainstorm to have
the hot dog cart out there.
It was a brilliant marketing
scheme, which will all go for
naught if this dilemma isn't solved.
We could label this the "Hot
Dog Hoax", or "Parking for
Dogs."
Let's not be too quick to point
the accusing finger in the direction
of Marist.
Perhaps it's Pete Rose allegedly
vending dogs. He's probably got
his bookie service nestled right between the relish and the chili bin.
The man hasn't got a job and
I've seen him on the consumer
value network vending his baseball
memorabilia. Hot dogs are right up
his alley.
Being around all those ballparks
for all those years, he should know
what constitutes a good dog.
Whoever it is I don't care. I just
want a parking space.
And, I want my dogs!

attached from the jet to the
parachutes so the cadets didn't
have to pull the chord themselves,
thus decreasing the chance of an
accident.
Upon exiting the jet, the force of
bodyweight causes the line to break
and the chute to open. However,
in case of a malfunction, all of the
parachutes are equipped with a
reserve chute.
Only one cadet of the 461 found
it necessary to use the reserve, and
this was because of a minor, nonthreatening problem with the first
chute.
After falling at approximately 18
feet per second, the cadets landed
with a force comparable to a jump
off of an eight to ten foot wall.
"At first I thought, 'this is absolutely nuts!,' but once I was out
and my chute had opened, I
couldn't remember a safer feeling," said Russell of his first jump.
"One of the aspects of leadership is courage, and it takes a lot
of courage to jump out of an
airplane," said Russell.
Should athletes deforced
to live at Canterbury too?
by Anndalena Glaze
Marist athletes living in Canterbury are not too happy to be there.
Most feel they should be living on
campus to accomodate busy
schedules of practices and classes.
"It becomes a hassle going back
and forth to campus for practices
and classes," said Leroy Graham,
a defensive back on the Marist
football team. "I think Marist
should consider keeping all athletes
on campus for convenience sake."
"We recognize the significant
contribution athletes give the college but we do recognize other
students' contributions to Marist as
well," said Steve Sansola, director
of housing and residence life.
"Basically, athletes are reviewed on
a whole, as are other resident
students when assigning on-campus
housing."
Students needed an average of 24
priority points for ' on-campus
housing this year, said Sansola. He
said the office has been 99 percent
accurate in assigning housing to
Under its new director, the office
of Career Development and Field
Experience will initiate a new program this fall, offering seniors and
juniors a chance to meet one-to-one
with Marist alumni.
Deidre Sepp, the director since
Aug. 1, has held similar positions
at Susquehanna University, in Susquehanna, Pa., SUNY New Paltz
and Mount Saint Mary's College in
Newburgh.
Sepp is a 1975 graduate of Gettysburg College in Gettysburg, Pa.,
and has a masters in counseling
from Kutztown University in Kutztown, Pa. She also holds a teaching
certificate.
She is the 1989 chair of the
Liberal Arts Network of the Midlantic Placement Committee, an
association that studies the needs of
liberal arts students.
In addition to hiring a new director, a new program will begin this
fall to try to bridge the gap between
college life and the real world.
According to Sepp, about 15
alumni, representing various fields,
have agreed to talk with students
for 30 minutes to an hour about the
opportunities and realities of their
fields of interest.
The program, "Alumni Net-
working," was conceived last year
by Ron Zurawik, the career placement chair of the alumni executive
board and Jim Norman, the director of alumni affairs.
To set up an interview, the student must contact the office and
decide which alumnus they would
like to speak with.
The office will then give the student the name and phone number
of the alumnus in order to set up
a convenient time to meet, according to Sepp.
The alumni represent the law,
business, communications, nonprofit organizational, psychology
and education fields.
In addition to the program, the
office is planning workshops in
resume writing, interviewing and
job hunting strategies. Sepp has
spoken with Kevin Desmond, student body president, to develop
and organize new programs that
would benefit the whole student
body, said Sepp.
"We need to take action," said
Sepp. "There are students who
don't know what they want — we
can help."
The office assists in finding parttime employment during the school
year, develops co-op positions and
helps in developing internship
opportunities.
students through the priorty point
system.
Bob Reasbeck, one of the seven
Marist basketball players who were
placed in Canterbury, said he feels
his living arrangement creates problems for him and his teammates.
The basketball team has conditioning workouts at the McCann
Center at 6 a.m. three days a week.
The van service from Canterbury
does not- run before 6 a.m.,
Reasbeck said.
"If you don't have a car, you're
out of luck," he said.
Van service will be provided to
accomodate special scheduling
needs for the athletes, according to
officials from the Housing and
Security Offices.
By fall of 1991 the construction
of the new residence hall is due for
completion, alleviating problems
due to the housing crunch.
"Based on the number of current
student returns and the rate of newadmissions, the Housing Office
hopes to have everyone on campus
if they choose to be," said Sansola.

While summer may bring with it
trips to the beach and a job at the
local ice cream parlor, for three
Marist students it was an altogether
different experience. '
Chris Russell, a junior from New
Milford, N.J., and seniors Tony
Panteleo from Fishkill, N.Y., and
Bill Beseth from Wappingers Falls,
N.Y. spent three weeks this summer at the United States Army Airborne course in Fort Benning, Ga.
The course, which ran from June
22nd to July 14thrwas divided into three phases: ground week,
tower week, and jump week.
During ground week, the mornings were reserved for runs, which
the the cadets were rated for, and
various other workouts.
Also during the day they had
time in the classroom, and practiced exiting and landing postions on
a simulated aircraft on the ground.
The next phase, tower week, had
the cadets practicing mass exit drills
(at one second intervals) from a
simulated CI30 jet set 34 feet off
the ground.
Also included in that week was
swing landing training or the "slam
dunk," which had the cadets
swinging from a 15-foot platform
by a rope attached to their harness.
The "confidence builder,"
another test in landing techniques,
was a 250 foot drop from a tower
with parachutes attached to a line.
Last came jump week in which
the cadets were required to successfully complete five jumps, one
a day.
After safety briefings, pre-jump
reviews, and practice drills, the
groups were allowed to gear up and
wait to be checked by the Sergeant
Airborne. This is called Jump
Master Inspection.
Before jumps the cadets are
divided into "chalks," groups with
30 cadets. After this they are placed randomly into jets, which cruise
at approximately 140 mph, and at
an altitude of about 1,200 to 1,500
feet.

"The religous aspect of this

Fitness over fatness: aerobics
can burn off the Freshman fifteen
by Nathan J. Robinson
These are all common parts student life for some here at Marist
College: The Freshman 15, guzzling brews untill ungodly hours of
the morning and eating the standard pasta or potatoes dinner served in the Marist cafeteria.
And they all add up to one thing
— fat. Under such circumstances
it becomes difficult to remain trimfigured people. How can a student
stay in shape?
An informal poll conducted on
campus shows that some of us are
more worried about gaining weight
while others don't mind if they gain
a few pounds.
Some students resort to only
twelve-ounce curls in their dorm
rooms to keep in excellent condition, others are busy pumping iron
in the McCann Center weight
room.
Students have already begun to
sign up for a full schedule of intramurel sports.
But others' daily activity give
them enough activity.
How does Freshman Chris
Leach stay in shape?
"Well, dude, I skate(board),
man," Leach said.
Elsie Mula, assistant to the
athletic director of the McCann
Center, said the McCann Center
offers various opportunities to
keep fit. Open seven days a week,
it has a large swimming pool with
diving area, basketball and raquetball courts and a weight room with
a membership fee of 10 dollars.
The McCann Center is also the
host of several Marist physical
education courses.including rowing, sailing and archery.
In addition, the aerobic kick has
hit Marist. Aerobics classes are
held six days a week at the dance
studio in the McCann Center.
Aerobics classes attracted nearly 50
participants per session during the
first week this semester, said junior
Christie Ingrassia, head of aerobics
department.
According to Ingrassia, classes
swelled to about 100 people shortly after spring break last semester.
"Some people come to aerobics
every day, and some just come
when they feel fat," she said.
Although the aerobics classes are
attended predominantly by
women, Ingrassia says she has
worked with the Marist lacrosse
team.
Usually, about three or four men
will attend.
Intramurals offered this fall include co-ed soccer and volleyball,
flag football for freshman and upperclassmen and bowling. Intermurals beginning later in the fall include raquetball and three-on-three
basketball.

And since a 12-year study shows
that being 40% or more overweight
puts you at high risk,
it makes sense to follow these
guidelines for healthy living!
Eat plenty of fruits and
vegetables rich in vitamins A
and C—oranges, cantaloupe,
strawberries, peaches, apricots,
broccoli, cauliflower, brussel
sprouts, cabbage. Eat a highfiber, low-fat diet that includes
whole-grain breads and cereals
such as oatmeal, bran and wheat
Eat lean meats,fish,skinned
poultry and low-fat dairy

Laxmen gear up for spring with fall season
by Jay Reynolds
On the heels of last year's .500
season, the Marist lacrosse team is
gearing up early for the 1990
season.
Fall practice began Wednesday
and head coach Mike Malet said
the team has upgraded this year's
schedule in order to be ready for
the school's move to the East Coast
Conference next year.
With the tougher schedule, the
fall season now becomes even more
important, according to Malet.
Mets
After another three-game set in
Chicago one week later, the Mets
trailed by three-and-one-half
games.
The Mets were four-and-onehalf games behind the Cubs on July
21, the day Armstrong took his
famous first step.
By Aug. 13, the Mets had dropped to nine-and-one-half games
behind the Cubs — their biggest
deficit of the season — and, to
most, looked hopelessly out of the
race.
Returning home after being
swept in a three-game series against
the Astros in Houston, the Mets
swept consecutive doubleheaders
against the Padres and began a
streak of 38 victories in 49 games.
By Aug. 27, the Mets had cut
their deficit to two games. The
deficit hit five games during the
Labor Day Weekend, but by Sept.
10, the Mets moved ahead of the

A Pace drive was stalled when
Marist safety Bob Mealia came up
with a key .fumble recovery.,
McElduff then became the work
horse for Pardy's club as the senior
carried the ball 30 times for 126
yards.
"Believe it or not, I love it,"
McElduff said, referring to the
sloppy conditions.
The defense again came up with
the big play when linebacker Paul
Kratchovil recovered a fumble deep
in the Setters' end of the field.
After O'Donnell found DelPrete
for an 8-yard gain just shy of the
endzone, senior tailback Curtis
Bailey rambled in from the 1 to tie
the game at nine.
Douglas' kick was good making
the score 10-9 and putting the Red
Foxes ahead for good.
"I was really pleased with
Chris," Pardy said. "He was
outstanding (Saturday) considering
the conditions."
The Red Foxes' defense came
through again as it thwarted a late
scoring threat by Pace in the fourth
quarter.
Mealia led the charge for the
defense again this week — registering 15 tackles (seven unassisted),
two sacks and one fumble
recovery. Mealia was named the
Atlantic Conference Defensive
Player of the Week last week for
his performance in the Sept. 9
game against St. John Fisher
College.
"We adjusted and didn't give
them anything," Mealia said of the
Marist defense following the Setters' first touchdown.
Pardy praised the work of his
defensive backs — Mealia, Greg
Chavers Steve Merenda and John
Gahan.
"The defensive backs allowed
everyone to play solid defense and
come up with the big play," he
said.
Freshman Joe Riccardi added 12
tackles — eight unassisted — while
Matt Daly, a defensive end, collected 10 tackles — two unassisted.
McElduff said the win was a
total team effort that allowed the
Red Foxes to pick up the win.
"We had to rely on each other
out there," he said.
"Normally we didn't start (the
spring schedule) until March 24,"
he said. "This spring our first game
is March 10, so we must get the
work done in the fall.
"Usually, we have the week of
spring break for practice, but (by
spring break this year), we will have
already played three games. That's
why we have to go to the fall — to
try and get things done."
The peak of the fall season
comes Oct. 15 when the Red Foxes
will compete in the Keene Fall Invitational tournament — the fall

tournament for the Knickerbocker
Conference. Marist won the fourteam tournament last year.
This year's expected field includes host school Keene, Montclair State and SUNY-Maritime.
Malet said one of the main objectives of the fall season is to allow
the newcomers to learn the plays.
"I'm not concerned about setting the team in the fall," he said.
"Unlike football, where you have
an offense and a defense, in
lacrosse, you can work in 20 people with no problem."
Although the Red Foxes lost only three seniors to graduation from
last year's squad, Malet said the
Cubs and into first place for the
first time.
Two weeks later, on Sept. 24, the
Mets clinched the first National
League
East
Division
championship.
The Mets passed the next hurdle
with ease, sweeping the Atlanta
Braves, the National League West
Division champ, in three straight
games to capture the National
League pennant.
In the World Series, after dropping the opening game to the
American League champion
Baltimore Orioles, the Mets won
four straight to capture the title.
In one of the most unforgettable
feats in sports history — the Mets
were World Champions.
Neil Armstrong and the Mets
had other thing in common — they
both earned a ticker-tape parade
down Broadway.
number of returning players does
not guarantee the team will post a
better record than last year's 5-5
mark.
"We've upgraded the schedule
quite a bit — adding games to get
us ready for the move to the
ECC," he said. "We could actually
play our best lacrosse ever and not
improve on last year's record."
Marist has 20 lettermen returning from last year — including 10
starters and the entire defense —
and had over 15 freshmen turn out
for the first day of practice.
"We had a pretty good idea of
the freshmen coming in and we
want them to learn the plays,"
Malet said.
Malet said the move to the ECC
will be a big step for the lacrosse
program as the ECC was ranked

The Marist College Parking Policy will be enforced
by the Office of Safety and Security.
Student parking is prohibited at all times in Donnelly lot, Gatehouse lot and St. Peters lot. Parking
restrictions in other areas of the campus are detailed in the Parking Policy distributed during the past
week. If you have not received a copy of the parking policy, one may be picked up at the Security
Office.
The Parking Policy is enforced by the issuing of
parking tickets, "booting" of vehicles and towing
of vehicles. "Booting," the immobilizing of a vehicle by attaching a metal block to a wheel, results
in an additional twenty dollar fine over the cost of
the parking violation. Towing results in a minimum
payment of fifty dollars to the tow company, twenty
dollars a day storage fee and the cost of the
violation.
Damage to the boots caused by unauthorized attempts to remove them will result in arrest for
criminal mischief.
Vehicles not registered with the office of Safety
and Security are subject to towing on the first
offense.

"Teams like Hofstra and
Townsley are nationally ranked
and will be e tough games for us,"
he said. "Drexel was the only team
in the ECC not ranked in the (nation's) top 20 last year.
"The ECC will be a tough conference for us to compete in — it
would be comparable to playing
basketball in the ACC or the Big
East."
The Red Foxes added four
games to last year's 10-game
schedule, including the opener
against St. John's and the last game
of the season against the University of Maryland-Baltimore County.

Moonwalk through time:
Those Mets wereAmazin'
by Rich Donnelly
The year was 1969 — the year
Neil Armstrong walked on the
moon.
"And what seemed even more impossible to many than that historic
walk was the fact that the New
York Mets — a team which in its
first season seven years earlier had
lost a record 120 games — would
win the World Series.
In 1968, their first season under
manager Gil Hodges, the Mets
finished ninth out of 10 teams in
the National League.
The addition of two expansion
teams — the Montreal Expos and
the San Diego Padres — in 1969
forced the league to separate into
two divisions of six teams each.
The Mets were picked by most to
finish last in the East Division, and
bookmakers had listed the team at
odds of 100-to-l to win it all.
As was their custom, the Mets
lost on Opening Day for the eighth
straight time — losing to the brand
new Expos.
One month into the season, the
Mets were 12-15 and sitting in
fourth place, six games behind the
Cubs.
The Cubs were a veteran team
and no one took the upstart Mets
as a contender.
During late May and early June,
however, the Mets won 11 staight
games — at the time a team record
— moving them to second place,
but still seven games remained between them and the Cubs.
In the middle of the streak, June
2, the Mets surpassed the .500 level
(24-23) for the first time in team
history.
Although remaining in second
place, the Mets were not picking up
any ground on the Cubs and were
still seven-and-one-half games
behind them on July 4:
A five-game winning streak pulled them to within five games and
the Cubs arrived at Shea Stadium
for a three-game series, now
remembered as one of the finest in
the stadium's history.
Ed Kranepool's run-scoring
single in the ninth inning won the
first game for the Mets and reduc
ed the Cubs' lead to four games.
In the second game, Tom Seaver
had a perfect game in the ninth in
ning with one out before Jimmy
Quail's lined a single to centerfield.
The Mets won to move within three
games.
The Mets won the third game to
sweep the series and move to two
games behind the Cubs.

The third quarter, though, was
time for a change.

Volleyball suffers loss
at CCSU tournament
by Denise H. Becker
After defeating Siena College
last Wednesday, the : Marist
women's volleyball team did riot
fare as well in the Central Connecticut State University Tournament.
The team — which placed ninth
out of 12 teams — defeated Central Connecticut State University,
15-11,15-12,15-7 in its first match
of the tournament.
However, in subsequent matches, Marist lost to the University
of Hartford, 9-15,16-17,6-15, the
College of Holy Cross, 6-15, 5-15,
15-13, 13-15, and Lehigh University, 10-15, 9-15, 15-0, 4-15.
The CCSU tournament left the
team's record at 3-3.
Saturday the team will face New
York University and Manhattanville College in a trimatch at 1 p.m.
in the McCann Center.
Although coach Victor Vancarpels said he anticipates difficulty, he believes that it is possible to
beat both teams.
"The team has really solidified,"
said Vancarpels. "Right now we're
two or three weeks ahead of where
I thought we'd be."
Despite the fact that Marist won
only one match in tournament

play, Vancarpels said that everyone
played well and he was happy with
the weekend's turn of events.
However, he also said the team
needed some improvement.
"The real problem we have is
that we don't have a good concept
of where we want to hit the ball
relative to other defenses," Vancarpels said. "We have to concentrate more on offensive concepts."
During the
tournament,
freshman Robin Gestl led the Red
Foxes with 20 hits. Vancarpels said
senior Allison Vallinino and junior
Kim Andrews turned in strong performances on defense, while senior
Kerri Reilly set the ball well.
In the midst of an important
early-season road trip, the Marist
men's soccer team, thus far, has
been both up and down.
The five-game road trip — the
team's longest of the year — includes four contests against
coference opponents.
Marist coach ..Dr. Howard
Goldman said he feels his team is
definitely headed in the right
direction.
"Our attitude is very good right
now," he said. "Remember, we're
playing a very tough schedule
which includes three of the top 20
teams in the country, and most of
the New York top 10."
The Red Foxes rebounded from
a Northeast conference defeat last
week at Fairleigh Dickenson
University with a solid win at
Robert Morris last Saturday.
Shawn Scott led the Marist attack with a goal and an assist
against Robert Morris. Bob Meindl
also contributed a goal in the offensive attack which outshot
Robert Morris 18-8.
Last Tuesday the Red Foxes ran
into the powerful squad from FDU
which handed the Red Foxes their
first loss of the season.
FDU dominated the entire contest — scoring more goals (three)
than Marist could manage
shots(two).
As a solid favorite to win the
conference, FDU was led by Ahmed Faisal who had two goals.
Goldman was particularly impressed with his opponent's play.
"They're a mature, skillfull team
which had total control of the
game," he said. "It could have
been worse if not for (goalie) Matt
Scarano."
The Red Foxes still have two
more games on the road before
returning home to face Oneonta
State University on Saturday, Sept.
30. Marist played at conference
rival St. Fransis College (N.Y.)
yesterday and the results were not
availiable at press time.
Marist travels to Emmitsburg,
Md., Saturday to face conference
foe Mount St. Mary's College and
to Garden City, N.Y., next Tuesday for a game with Adelphi
University.
The Red Foxes have won only
two of the nine previous meetings
with Adelphi, dropping six. Saturday will mark the first meeting with
Mount St. Mary's.
