Attacks spur growth of women's group
1978 Reynard
off critical list
By Jimmy Perez
• The Marist College Yearbook,
The Reynard, will be published
this year after a successful
campaign to sell approximately
500 books. The debt of approximately $12,000 will be paid
by student government.
Former editor, Jean Karole,
who resigned for what she called
personal reasons, said the
yearbook will be paid for from
sales and advertisements.
The debt of $12,000 accumulated by the Reynard is-due
to their inability to collect from
the advertisers during the past
few years, and the failure of staff
members to sell large numbers of
the. yearbooks to the student
body.
According to Student Government President Jeff Blanchard,
the debt will be paid over a few
years. The amount ofmoney to be
paid each year has not been
determined, Blanchard said.
Blanchard added the business
office has recommended student
government pay $4000 for the
next three years to eliminate the
deficit.

Marist library getting
only 30 per cent usage
By Vic Small
Library facilities are not being
used to their highest potential,
according to a report issued by
Vincent L. Toscano, director of
the library. The report, issued to
all faculty members and first and
second level administrators,
stated that on the busiest day of
any given week during the
academic calendar last year less
than 30 percent of the student
population uses the library, and
of those who do, almost one-third
come only for a quiet place to
study.
Last year more than".'89,000
students entered the library.
Only 14,000 of the 60,000 available
volumes were used,.of the 800plus periodicals, 500 had no use at
all.

are consistent with broader
national experiences.
"Toscano's report used several
studies which made two major
insights into library use. The first
stated that library use reflects
demands made by courses. The
second was that at the undergraduate level, library use
had no consistent effect on
grades.
Toscano said the report was
issued to promote greater use of
the library resources. Several
steps are being used to aecomplish this - a one-credit
course on the tools and skills of
library use is being offered. Only
four people turned out for the
course due to a breakdown in
communication, according to
Toscano.- Also, computerized
information on available print
and_non-print resources are offered to instructors.
Catalogs of 16 tarn, films,
videotapes and A:V. kit holdings
are being worked on. There are
listings of all videotapes
available for instructional use in
the A.V.-T.V. Center.
A proposed plan for regular
workshops for faculty instruction
on the center's equipment did not
work out because of budget
problems, but staff members are
available to help instructors
wishing to learn the operation of
the equipment.
Toscano said whether these
steps accomplish anything is yet
to be seen. But he said there is
greater activity in the. library
this year. "There is no available
information at this time,"
Toscano said. "That's the staffs

have the numbers until midsemester." " •

420 frosh admitted
A record number of approximately 420 freshmen entered Marist this fall. Exclusive
of Bennett students, there are 232
new males, 187 of them residents,
and 190 new females, of which 145
are residents.
"We are by no means running
an open admissions", says James
Daly, director of admissions. He
said for a high school senior
applying to Marist, one must
range in the top half of his class,
have an 80 average and score
between 900-1000 on the
Scholastic Aptitude Test. Every
application is viewed individually, however, and certain
circumstances can waiver these
requirements, according to Daly.

recruiting practices involve
visiting 100 high schools during
an academic year, most of these
visits occur in the fall. He said the
areas of recruiting range from
Boston to Richmond, Virginia
and as far west as Buffalo. Daly
also said Marist participates in
National College Fairs, which
include Hartford, Long Island,
New York City, Philadelphia,
Washington and Boston. He said
the Student Search Service of the
College Board to which Marist
belongs provides a direct mailing
service to eligible students. High
school college day and college
night also offer Marist admissions an opportunity to
recruit, along with advertisements. There are four
admissions interns this year.
They are Cathy Hanley, Mike
Marchino, Ron Schneider and
Pat Whelton.
Daly said, Long Island
represents a large number of
students, although demographics
show this to be decreasing in the
next few years. Suffolk and
Orange Counties represents an
increasingly large number of
students. Daly said there is more
diversification in the student
body due to the participating
Bennett students, who come from
all over the world.
Daly said the Marist admissions program is also
responsible for recruiting
graduate students, from community colleges, junior colleges,
under graduate colleges and
universities.

The SG president said the officers

The use of cold water in the

part of a campus wide effort to
conserve energy this year at
Marist College. Anthony Campilii, business manager, plans the
unnecessary use of power
wherever possible on campus.
Campilii also said many of the
lights of the McCann Recreation
Center have been shut down after
its closing, which will help
conserve energy. Along with the
indoor lights, some of the lights in
the surrounding parking lot will
also be shut off after the center's
closing, he said a percentage of
the lights in the dorm hallways
will be turned off late at night,
according to Campilii.
Although it would save much
energy, Mr. Campilii said he
would not shut off any of the
outdoor lights on campus at any
time because of the threat it
could invite to the safety of the
students.

Waters said he could not have
made such a promise to the
student and attempt to conduct
an investigation. "She never
conveyed any such hope to me,"
he said. "I or no one else could
possibly conduct an investigation

people.

lady, at her request there was a

information for the protection of
other women on campus.
Two of the student's friends
asked The Circle not to print the
time and place of the reported
incident because the coed fears
revenge on the part of her alleged
attackers.
Marist President Linus Foy
said a faculty member who had
spoken to the student said the
coed wanted Foy to stop the
newspaper from printing the
time and place of the alleged
incident for the same reason.
Foy told a Circle editor he
wanted to relay the student'srequest, and said he would not
consider censoring the information. He said he believes
the other students, especially
women, have a right to know
about the alleged incident for
their own protection.

tried to walk away the men
became "loud and disorderly."
He said one of the men threw a
girl on the ground, and when the
other girl began to strike the man
with her purse, both men fled.
"Both girls felt it was not a

just two drunken youths who
attempted to be friendly, and
when rejected, became verbally

Legally, this is considered
harassment, according to
Waters.

Thermopane windows were installed, as well as a six inch insulation in the walls and ceiling.
The rooms in Donnelly lose much
heat, and Campilii said eventually the rooms there will be
rebuilt with proper heating and
insulation.
Champagnat Hall, also, was
not built with efficient heating
and proper insulation, according
to Campilii. "The bouers are
constantly maintenanced to
insure they run efficiently," said
Campilii, "but it is because of the
building's structure that the
heating problem
exists."
Campilii was referring to the
north side of Champagnat Hall,
which gets very cold in the winter
months. Campilii recommends
trying to conserve heat in the
rooms by keeping curtains drawn
and not blockine the heaters.

Don't Set it happen again
Last year's demonstration in midFebruary was due to a lack of communication between students, faculty and the
administration.
The group of 21 cared about what was
happening to Marist. A majority of these
students graduated in May. However, during
the remaining time in the semester, they told
us we must take up where they left off. They
said student government would be responsible for keeping the communication lines
open between the students, faculty, and administration.

the administration or faculty.
We are now in the fifth week of the
semester and a policy board has not been formed.
The policy board consists of the four
student government officials, three commuters, one representative from CUB, one
from the student academic committee, one
student from each dorm, and one Interhouse
Council member.
Editorials
These organizations should get started and
pick representatives to have our voice, the
students, in decisions made concerning our
college.
Last year we reached out for the help from
the administration, and they gave it to us.
If a breakdown in communication occurs
this year, the fault will be the students.
Suspect installment plan
It is indeed good news that the Reynard
will live at least one more year. Its advantages have been related here before.
The surprising thing about the report is
that students really supported other students.
It's also good to hear.
However despite the good news, a Student
Government proposal for paying off the
$12,000 debt which the club has incurred
during the last eleven years irks us.
According to SG President Jeff Blanchard,
the debt will gradually be paid by SG funds
over a period of years.
If this SG plan is used, students will suffer.
It isn't fair for freshmen or upperclassmen
to have to pay off the debt of a poorly run
club (poorly run because students in general
didn't care about it).
Students have the right to see their activity
fee used for campus activities of the present,
not the past. They did not come to Marist to
help the school or students pay off their debts".
To propose to put the responsibility of
paying the debt on the Student Government
would be a disservice by the existing administration on future administrations.
We say find another way, or you'll be
cheating future and present students out of a
fraction of their" activity fee. It sounds like
stealing to us.

This little piece of earth
Man's common nature and the spirit that is
within him calls him to desire this unity within
his life and among his fellow man. Though each
be different - to actively learn principles of
life...to reflect upon those principles in terms of
one's own life...and to execute the conclusions of
those principles - allows for a transcending of
differences and a wholeness in individual and
communal life.
Here, on this little piece of earth, in Dutchess
County and at this time in our life; we have the
leisure to learn about man's varying expressions
of God and His creation. We have the opportunity
to further discover our own expressions of God
and principles of life. The purpose of any
structure representing religion... the purpose of
campus ministry - is to bring to greater stature
within spirit.
There is no better time for us to begin a search
throughout this campus and within ourselves; a
search for those elements within each man and
woman that will enable one to rise above the
ordinary and all to transcend differences. We
cannot do this if our way of life, here, belies the
lessons that man's accumulated knowledge
teaches us. If one course or major is going to be
considered more noble than another. If one style
of recreation is going to be considered better
than another. If everyone's judgement and
action is going to be suspect. If each is going to
limit his or her concerns and responsibilities to
what each defines as their fit.needs or that which
relates to their identity, then though great in
number, we will be so small in stature.
If we are going to grow as individuals or as a
group, we must allow our past to transcend the
present, so that we may grow in stature toward
the future. Our past experiences, our past endeavors, our past hopes should be brought into
the present which is ever new, yet ever in need of
rootedness. It is easy to deny and hide from the
fact that we are all of the same source and
represent facets of a much greater life style and
purpose. Only if we are willing to hold each other
up in a positive search can we come to see the
various facets we each represent. It is only to the
extent that we work to bring out these facets that
the whole will be seen as more worthwhile.
Viewpoint will hopefully bring to the Marist
community the reflection of various persons with
regard to the inner side of man and the structures man has created to deal with same.
Viewpoint will definitely remind the individuals of the Marist community of their
common nature and the need forjtranscending
differences.
Viewpoint will challenge the Marist community to reflect on its life style from The Others

Students brave Delaware rapidsj
By David Ng
breakfast but rather find a diner in Callicoon instead.
During the drive, it began to rain again.
In Callicoon, Capozzi had to pay the canoe deposits at Lander's office. Pam, the
attendant, said she didn't know whether a check from the school could be accepted.
A phone call was made and the check was cleared.
Some campers had already found "Bill's Variety Store" down the street. It was a
combination news stand, luncheonette, and general store. The campers ordered
breakfast and bought candy bars before leaving for the Delaware.
Before leaving Callicoon, someone asked the attendant about Skinners Falls.
"Fast and high" Pam said, "It's been raining all week and it's been muddy."
As the campers walked to the boat landing, the rain came down in torrents.
At the landing, canoes, paddles and life jackets were issued. People chose canoe
partners.
.
,
'
*
Belongings wrapped in plastic were tied inside the canoes with twine.
Partners, one at the bow and another at the stern, carried their Grumann
aluminum canoes to a sandy launching area.
The shoreline was high, the water ran up to the plant life on the river banks.
White ripples of water ran over submerged rocks.
The canoeists came to a picnic area three miles downstream. Twelve of the 14
stopped to eat lunch and "get psyched'' for Skinners Falls a few miles away.
While the coolers were untied and carried to the picnic tables, two canoes paddled out of sight.
Minutes later, the sound of water pounding against rocks was heard. One thought
ran through everyone's mind. Skinners Falls.
The still of the water became a swift current. Someone said "Stay to the right
shoreline". The bow went upward and splashed into the water. Again, the bow
went skyward and back down. The sternman dipped his paddle into the water and
steereed the canoe toward shore. The shell scraped slightly against a rock.
The rush of water under the canoe became a ripple. They had conquered Skinner's Falls.
From shore, another canoe had difficulty navigating as it bobbed up and down.
The canoe came ashore without tipping. . ,

Skinners and hoped there would be more rapids up'*a'he"ad.'Ariomer said she" was
scared when "these big rocks were coming right at me."
Twenty minutes later, the main group arrived at Skinners Falls. One pair
paddled to shore before reaching the rapids and emptied their canoe of personal
belongings. When they paddled back out to attempt to "run the rapids" the canoe
was swept to the middle of the river and a wave broke over the sides of the boat and
swamped them. The current pushed them to the side as the other canoeist already
on shore rushed to help them.
Homeward bound
On the drive home, some stopped for a snack at a truckstop. A middle-aged
couple were sitting in the booth next to the tired canoeists. They struck up a conversation about the weekend.
The man said he heard about the rapids on the Delaware and they were
dangerous.
Someone said "not really, the water was high and it wasn't that bad."
"Listen to the big expert!" someone curtly replied.
'Gong the Frosh Gong Show' say students
The "best act" award was
given to Mark' Murphy who
played the guitar and sang an
original song, "Nobody" Else But
You." Mike O'Meara won the
"worst act" award by portraying
a very buxom girl who sings "The
Sound of Music."
MC of the show was fourth floor
Leo RA Firmino Niatza.. Niatza
himself tried to get into the act
several times with jokes which no
one seemed to understand. At one
point, he started undressing and
telling a joke at the same time.
Still, no one understood the joke.
The judges at the show were
Father La Morte, campus
chaplain, Fred
Lambert,
assistant dean of students, Paul
Nunziata, and Vinny Barone,
both students.
Other acts included, Robert
Godwin, who wore a Donald Duck
mask and sang "Old Macdonald"
in a duck voice. The audience
roared with laughter and Mark
received a score of 35.
The first act to get gonged was
Mark Forlow & Co. They did the
Lumberjack song from Monty
Python's Flying Circus. After
Vinnie Barone gonged them they
all collapsed on stage screaming
and crying.
Some of the Irish soccer
players wanted to get into the act
and on a very impromptu note
one of them got up and sang an
Irish love song. For his triumph
he received a score of 25. One of
his fellow players, Tommy, tried
to tell the audience some funny
jokes. However, the audience did
not seem to think that he was
quite so funny and he received a
10.
Tom Masterson played his
harmonica and sang about
"moldy bread blue." To finish the
show, Danny Wakely & Co. went
on stage. Before they got
themselves gonged, they had
fallen and tripped over themselves, mumbled all their
dialogue, and spilled an almost
empty pitcher of beer.
And that was the end of the
gong show!

FDU drowns Vikings in mudbowl, 6-2
ByKenHealy
Some wore chamois shirts and scuffed hiking boots. Others wore rugby shirts
and sneakers. They came with expensive nylon backpacks or plastic trash bags.
All were going to the Delaware River for a camping and canoeing weekend
sponsored by the College Union Board. Fifteen Marlst students left the comforts of
their dormitories last Friday, to be joined by 14 other schoolmates later that night,
to camp at Narrowsburg, N.Y.
Four cars, packed with clothing, sleeping bags, and coolers left the campus
about 5:00 p.m. They drove south on Route 9, leaving behind shopping centers and
fast-food chains.
In one of the cars, someone inserted an eight track tape into the car's stereo
player "Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide..."
While the sun began to set headlights were turned on. The caravan left the interstate and traveled the hills and curves of Route 52. It began to rain.
Billboards advertising camp grounds were posted along the backroad. The
students began looking for a Narrowsburg campsite owned by Bob Landers, a
camping - canoe outfitter.
An indiscreet driveway next to the town theatre led to a muddy road and the
campground office which also doubled as a general store.
Inside, Vincent Capozzi, who was coordinating the trip for CUB, paid the fee for
the shelters. He also bought fuel and two bundles of wood.
The office attendant told Capozzi to take campsite no. 28.
The campers arrived at their campsite about nine o'clock and after the unpacking some began to ask "When are we going to eat?"
The students had turned in their meal ticket numbers to the school dining service
in exchange for hamburgers, frankfurters, bread, potato salad and soda for the
entire weekend.
While waiting for camp to be set up, 14 other students, all women, arrived.
A portable Coleman gas stove and a metal bread rack were used to cook food.
The "burgers and dogs" were thrown on top of aluminum foil and sizzled. Soda
and beer were passed among the campers.
After the cookout, people sat by the campfire and talked. Some talked about the
food, or lack of it. Others talked about the rain. Some were talking about Skinner's
Falls.
Rapids oh the Delaware River are rated on a degree of difficulty from one to six.
Skinner's Falls, according to the map supplied to campers, was rated six
"hazardous rapids."
On Saturday morning, the campers would leave some belongings behind In the
Narrowsburg campsite, drive up to the canoe launching area in Callicoon, about 15
miles away. From Callicoon, they would then paddle south to Narrowsburg.
Playing possum
The next morning, Noreen Fennell, a senior, felt something next to her leg. She
thought it was her classmate Elise Oranges.
"Elise, is that you?" asked Noreen.
"No, is that you?" replied Elise.
A medium-sized white possum, awakened by the commotion, crawled out from
between the two women where it had apparently made its bed and left peacefully.
The campers said they did not want to have hamburgers and frankfurters for
"Gong 'era!" was the general
consensus of most of the students
who attended the Gong show in
the Marist theatre, on Sunday,
which was sponsored by the class
of '81. "The pits" someone said,
"almost as bad as last year",
said someone else. These were
the general comments heard
from students who were leaving
the theatre.
Some freshmen who were in the
audience did not even know that
it was they, the class of '81, who
had sponsored it. The money
raised will be used to plant a tree
on campus.
SEPTEMBER 29,1977
Scott Vozza, a Fairleigh
Dickenson linebacker scored the
game's only touchdown when he
recovered a Bob Brannigan
fumble on the Marist one yard
line and fell into the end-zone
giving Fairleigh a 6-2 victory
over the Vikings. Vpzza's touchdown came mid-way through the
fourth quarter when Marist was
leading 2-0. That was only one of
the many fumbles that plagues
the Vikings throughout the game.
Viking coach Ron Levine said
"The mistakes we made were
because we lack experience,
most of our offense is made up of
freshmen and new players."
Levine also said that even with
the inexperience the Vikings
cannot afford many mistakes. "I
don't care who you are," he said,
"if you turn the ball over as much
as we did you aren't going to
win."
As much, as fumbles hurt the
Vikings the rain and mud hurt
them more.
After five days of rain the field
at Fairleigh Dickenson resembled a swamp. Parts of the field
were so bad players were sunk up
to their ankles. Levine said the
rain and condition of the field
hurt his team, but he didn't use
the playing conditions as an
excuse. "We're going to have to
get-a lot better a lot faster," he
said.
As to the future of freshman
quarterback Bob Brannigan,
Levine said Brannigan would be
his quarterback "Until someone
else comes around and does a
better job."
The Viking defense, which
hasn't given up a -point in six
quarters, had another great
game limiting Fairleigh to just 22
total yards on offense. They also
scored the Viking's only points
when defensive end Mike Ragusa
blocked a third down quick kick
early in the third quarter,
knocking the ball out of the end
zone.
Marist's offense fared only
slightly better than Fairleigh's
while gaining a total of 55 yards,
52 of them coming from running
back J.C. Gerseh. For the second
week in a row Gerseh was the
Viking's running star. He did the
bulk of the running because
fullback Bill Bremiller suffered a
seperated shoulder during the
week in practice. He will be out
for several more weeks because
of the injury. Steve Maschi was
the only other halfback to see
action.
With Bremiller and Charley
Bender (the only other experienced running back on the
team) hurt, the Vikings will try to
improvise for the next game.
Linebacker Mike Overbye will
get a chance to run with the ball
this week in practice. Levine will
also try flanker-defensive back
Mike Laffin, who played halfback
last season at his old position.
Levine explained how the loss of
Bremiller hurt the Vikings.
"That king of game was the kind
where Bremiller could be used to
his fullest advantage. He's big
and strong, the kind of guy you
need on a slippery field. We
needed a him to grind out yards,
we missed him most of all."
Bob McAndrew, the right offensive guard was also hurt in
Sunday's game. He will be out of
action for at least the next game.
To cover the loss of McAndrew
tackle Chris Clarke will move
over to guard and Bob Keller,
usually a defensive lineman will
play right tackle.

Vassar defeats women netters
By Ralph Capone
The women's tennis team
opened their first fall season with
a 4-1 setback against Vassar
College last Wednesday.
Marist's lone match was the
first time they have ever beat
Vassar in singles, and the appearance of seven Marist girls
for the match marked the best
attendance since their first
match last year.
Of the seven girls on the team,
six are freshmen, six that serve
as the nucleus for the future.
Heading the list of the six
freshmen are Rita Kolb, Regina
Rose, and Jenny Johnson, who
provided Marist's win, 6-3, 7-6
over Ann Jane of Vassar. Against
the neighboring college, both
Kolb and Rose displayed
moments of fine tennis in their
singles matches, but overall
could not contend with the sharp
forehands, and smooth net play of
Stephanie Frei and Moira
Bowden of Vassar.
"All the girls really need right
now," coach Eileen Witt says, "is
the experience you get from just
playing competitive tennis. We
should do very well against Siena
and New Paltz."
The women play the second of
their brief four match schedule
today hosting Siena at 3 p.m. and
then tomorrow they travel to New
Paltz for another 3 p.m. match.

Booters blast New Paltz, tie Sacred Heart
The Red Fox booters continued
their last year's winning ways in
their season opener against New
Paltz a week ago by shutting
them out 7-0. But in the rain
Saturday it was another story as
winless Sacred Heart came back
to tie them 1-1 late in the game.
In sloppy conditions, Zenone
Naitza scored the first goal of the
Sacred Heart game after 15
minutes and 25 seconds were
gone in the first half when he
connected on a loose ball in front
of the opposing goal.
During the rest of the half both
teams failed to organize an offensive attack, and the Red
Foxes blew several chances to
increase the score while controlling the ball in the Sacred
Heart end.
-- .
The story was the same in the
second half as players on both
squads made unsuccessful attempts to set up scoring plays via
passes, and were unable- to
dribble upfield because "of puddles.
After 32:26 in the second half
Marist's Jim Downs was ejected
from the game for punching an
opponent. Marist was forced to
play with nine players instead of
ten. From there Sacred Heart
controlled the ball in the Red Fox
end.
Sacred Heart was awarded a
corner kick with one minute and
35 seconds left to play. Sacred
heart's Orlando Domingas
1 rapped the kick and centered it
lo Rodger Lameirao who headed
tt in for the tying goal. "•
Three day's earlier the play of
ihe Red Foxes was" more akin to
their 14-1-1 record of last year as
they trounced New Paltz 7-0 in
the season opener.
Zenone and Firmino Naitza
starred for Marist as they
combined for_ three goals and
three assists.
In the first half New Paltz
thought they had the game's
initial goal only to have it called
back because of a rare penalty.
After 15 minutes and 16 seconds
a penalty was called on Red Fox
goalie Rich Heffernan. The
Hawks were awarded an indirect
kick and, as Marist defenders
formed a wall in front of their
goal, a New Paltz player ran up
and nudged the ball. Another
Hawk picked UD the ball and
scored to make it New Paltz 1,
Marist 0.
However the goal was nullified
because the ball did not roll a full
revolution. Another attempt at
the kick was blocked, and from
there Marist dominated.
Two minutes later the Red
Foxes scored their first goal of
the season as midfielder Julio
Rostran took a Firmino Naitza
pass and scored.
Firmino earned another assist
with 29:05 gone in the half by
passing to his brother Zenone
who scored the second goal.
Another goal by Peter Ryan on an
assist by Zenone with two

Dennis Goff, 14th; and finishing
the scoring was Dennis
O'Doherty who placed 15th.

Stevens said, "We worked very

•MCB-N to air Red Fox basketball
When the Red Foxes begin their first home season of Division II varsity
basketball competition December 7 against Hartwicke their "fans" will be able to
follow them via the Marist College Basketball Network.
No, Marist isn't going into competition with the big three networks. They're
going to grant broadcasting rights to games played in the McCann Center to three
area radio stations.
According to Tom O'Brien, a local disc jockey (WEOK), who doubles as director
of Marist basketball information, the athletic department came up with the idea of
starting the Marist College Basketball Network to promote Red Fox basketball In
the Hudson Valley, and in turn promote Marist College,
O'Brien said the MCBN will control the rights to the games and he has been
talking to three stations to carry the play by play. He said one station will be based
in Poughkeepsie while the other two are located north and south respectively.
Sources to this reporter say the Poughkeepsie station will be WKIP, a former
employer of O'Brien.
Details of the network will be announced later in the fall. Watch these pages for
further developments.
