NBC News anchor Tom
Brokaw received the eleventh
annual Lowell Thomas Award
this summer.
On June 7, Marist College presented the award to Brokaw at
the Explorers Club in New York
City.
Marist President Dennis J.
Murray spoke~at the'award luncheon, comparing the journalistic qualities of Brokaw and
Thomas.
"Like Lowell Thomas, Tom
Brokaw's 'nose for news' and
skills as an interviewer have
brought the major events in recent world history directly into
the homes of millions of Americans each night," Murray said.
The Lowell Thomas award,
established by Marist in 1983,

in the communicationsfield.To
be eligible for the award, the individual must exemplify the ambition, imagination, courage and
humanity of legendary broadcaster Lowell Thomas.

Brokaw began his career at

He conducted the first exclusive one-on-one interview with

Brokaw also reported numerous times from both dangerous

Students report maintenance problems with
their housing; holes in walls & faulty wiring
b y ELIZABETH BROPBY
Staff Writer
While many Marist students
and faculty took their summer
break, workers for the Division
of Physical Grounds were breaking a sweat as they rushed to
restore the conditions of the
buildings on campus.
Angry students are still wondering if anything had been
done.
Students from various residence halls, especially the
Gartland Commons Garden
Apartments, have been complaining about the maintenance
problems they faced when they
moved back to campus.
Joshua Krueger, a junior living in the Gartland Commons,
said he was surprised when he
saw his apartment.
"All the air conditioners were
broken, light bulbs were missing and there was plaster in the
sink," Krueger said.
Timothy O'Brien, supervisor
of mechanical services at
Marist, said all the rooms in every residence hall on campus
had been visited and restored
by the Division of Physical
Grounds.
"Over the summer, all the damage done during the school year
wasfixed,"he said. "This is the
first year that all the rooms have
been painted, and the batteries
in all the smoke alarms have
been changed. Any other maintenance of smoke detectors is
handled by an outside, certified
contractor."
However, O'Brien said that
pre-season camps, which stay
on campus over the summer,
enter rooms that have already
been checked by maintenance
and contribute to some of the
damages that exist in the residence halls when the academic
semester begins.
"In addition, there are certain
conditions that make restoration
of the rooms more difficult,"
O'Brien said. "Phosphorescence from laundry detergent
left on the walls can delay the
re-painting of rooms."
Timothy Daly, director of
physical plant, said Marist

New York Times and Washington Post publish Unabomber's manifesto
NEW YORK (AP) - Journalists
will argue for years about the
agonizing decision by The New
York Times and The Washington Post to publish the 35,000word manifesto of the terrorist
known as the Unabomber.
In the din of debate Tuesday,
though, there was one patch of
quiet agreement. Editors and
scholars around the country
shared a sense of relief that they
weren't the ones on the hot
seat.
"I'm glad, as most editors in
the country are, that it wasn't
my decision to make," said
Sandra Mims Rowe, editor of the
Oregonian in Portland. She
added: " I think they made the
right decision."
" I instinctively oppose it,"
said Doug Clifton, executive
editor of The Miami Herald.
Still, he added, "it's a heck of a
lot easier to say that in the
abstract...They have had to deal
with a real situation, while the
rest of us are dealing with a theoretical one."
In the theoretical debate, the
lines were drawn between those
who said the two newspapers
were acting in the public interest, and those who said the
Times and Post had sacrificed
their journalistic independence
and set a dangerous precedent
by caving in to a killer and extortionist.
The Unabomber, who is
blamed for killing three people
and injuring 23 others in a 17year campaign of bombings,
sent the manuscript to the Times
and Post in June, two months
after issuing a demand: If at
least one of the newspapers
would print his manifesto, he
would stop killing.
A Touch of Home...
He also demanded that the
newspapers print three manual
follow-up publications.
He gave the newspapers a
three-month deadline. Five
days short of the deadline, the
Post published a special, eightpage section in Tuesday's editions containing the entire text
of the Unabomber's essay on
the evils of industrialization.
The section was published under an agreement by both the
Post and the Times, and paid for
by the two newspapers jointly.
The Post estimated the cost
at$30,000 to $40,000.
The publishers of the newspapers, Donald Graham of the
Post and Arthur Sulzberger Jr.
Of the Times, said they had
agreed to print the manifesto at
the urging of Attorney General
Janet Reno and FBI Director
Louis Freeh.
"Neither paper would have
printed this document for journalistic reasons," Graham said
in the Post. "We thought there
was an obvious public safety
issue involved and therefore
sought the advice of responsible
federal officials. We are printing it for public safety reasons,
not journalistic reasons."
That made'sense to some editors and scholars.
William Ketter, editor of The
Patriot Ledger of Quincy, Mass.,
and president of the American
Society of Newspaper Editors,
said he probably would have
done the same.
"I worry about the implication
of the decision, of course, but I
can't fault the newspapers for
cooperating with the Justice
Department...I don't think it's
unlike the history of the press
inthis country cooperating with
the government during wartime,
because the national interest
and the lives of American soldiers could be at stake. I mean,
we have a history of that."
John Seigenthaler, a former
editor and. publisher who now
heads a news industry think
tank in Nashville, The Freedom
Forum First Amendment Center,
called the decision "a sad precedent" that was unavoidable
under the circumstances.
."I hate.it as a precedent, but
as much as I hate it, I would have
made the same decision," he
said.
Several editors expressed admiration for the apparently rigorous decision-making process
that led to the publication.. "I
respect the struggle they've
been through, and I respect the
decision that they've made,"
said Lois Ureneck, editor of the
Portland Press Herald in Maine.
Critics lamented what they saw
as a dangerous precedent.

Circle/Comm. Arts division get AP wire service
byBENAGOES
Staff Writer
The Circle has joined the ranks
of national newspapers.
Until this year, the paper centered on local, college and regional news. Now its capabilities are global.
The installation of an Associated Press wire service over the
summer has made it possible for
the college to instantly receive
world wide news.
Every couple of minutes, articles anywhere from Argentina
to Zaire are sent to a new satellite dish installed on top of the
Lowell Thomas building.
The new wire service will be
used by both The Circle and
communcations classes.
Carol Pauli, assistant professor of broadcast journalism at
Marist College, said she thinks
the AP service enhances the
level of professionalism in both
The Circle and the classroom.
"The AP wire connects the
college newsroom to the outside world."
:
Marist college receives the
same basic service from the
Associated Press as other small
newspapers. As a result, students have the opportunity to
receive articles over the wire at
the same time as professional
news editors.
"This allows my classes to
compare [their] work with the
larger papers, and to see how
they handle it," Pauli said. "The
AP wire service is being used
for instruction in radio/TV writing, broadcast, and print
journalism classrooms."
Modele Clark, assistant professor of communication, also
expressed excitement with the
immediacy at which students
will receive news.
"The instant access to updated, world news gives the
college news room in Lowell
Thomas the same feel as a real
news room," said Clarke. "The
addition of the AP wire brings
Marist that much closer to preparing professional quality journalists."
Providing the level of professionalism and opportunity that
the AP wire offers does not
come cheaply.
"The basic service for this year
will cost the college $6,000 plus
additional software," said Pauli.
"An agreement between the
Communications Department
and the Student Government
Association allowed the two
departments to split the cost
evenly between themselves."

Clinton got his cash harvest

benefits of elderly Medicare recipients.
"Do seniors have the ability
to do a little bit more, have a responsibility to do it because
they have the ability to do it?"
the president asked. "I think
you can make that case."
Clinton also renewed his assault on the Republican Congress, saying, "This is not an
election that can be won by
sound bites or the politics of
resentment."
In a conversation with reporters aboard Air Force One en

Clinton said he isn't worrying

New deans take helm in Comm Arts & Humanities dept.
by TOMMY SCHWAB
Staff Writer
This summer, two new names
wereadded'to the "deans list"
at Marist College.
After a nationwide search
conducted by faculty and the
academic administration, Dr.
Reginetta Haboucha was
named the new dean of humanities and Dr. Guy Lometti
the new dean of communication and the arts. The search
involved over 200 applicants.
The new positions were created when the academic administration and faculty decided to reorganize the six academic divisions of the college
along academic lines in 1992.
The reorganization also created a business management
program.

MCTV donated news set from local TV station

It is lights, camera, action, for
Marist College Television members whose hews department
will be enhanced by equipment
obtained from local television
station WTZA.
"When I was a freshman last
year, I was told that a news program was impossible, and here I
am beginning a full-scale news
show," said sophomore
Meredith Engler, MCTV's news
director.
Over the summer,. WTZA redesigned their news set and
threw everything put - lights,
risers and the anchor desk. Dr.
William Ryan, Director of
Marist's Media Center, received
a call from WTZA chief engineer, Rick Hoddard, asking him
if Marist would like the old set.
Ryan quickly took advantage
of the opportunity.
"The Media Center will pay for
it because I believe it to be a
worthwhile venture, if for no
other reason [than] to give
MCTV a real, professional set,"
Ryan said.
Ryan said to build a set like
WTZA's would cost about
$3000, including labor and material.
. The equipment was stored in
the Marist East facility across
RL 9 until Sept. 1, when MCTV
moved the materials into their
studio.
"They're retiling the other
room down there [in the studio]," said MCTV vice-president Michael Onorato. "Once
they finish, then we will get our
set down."
After their recent general meeting, MCTV and its news department has begun organizing
teams of editors, camerapersons
and anchors needed for the
news show.
"We're putting together

and local Hudson Valley news,
and we're bringing it to 3,000
people on a weekly basis, which
is pretty exciting," said Engler.

SGA NEWS
Dear Undergraduates,
Welcome back! I hope that everyonefhad an enjoyable summer. With classes now back
into full swing, I hope that you all have recovered from the mother of ail hangovers called summer
break.
I refuse to go into details of what we have done in your absence. I will save that for another
day. I do want to convey a few things to you though.
To all incoming Freshman, I want to welcome you with this advice. You do not, cannot, and
probably won't realize how lucky you are. The Senior Class is the last class to remember pre-Vision
94. The change that has. taken place at Marist is phenomenal. Exploit everything this school has to
offer. Take advantage of everything we can give to you. You have more here now than I could have
dreamed of three years ago. Your years here go by too fast not to enjoy all aspects of college. I
never thought I would miss classes and academics until I realized that in two semesters, my days
here will end. My quest for undergraduate knowledge will meet it's end by a double-barrel shotgun
called employment. Don't waste it away.
To all Sophomores and Juniors, you're on the way. Enjoy it. Don't spend the rest of your
days here accentuating the negative with all the positive thins around us. Every institution has its
faults. Marist has many benefits as well. I challenge you to find them. They may not be as hard to
find as you think.
For the Class of' 96, we have some great things planned in our last year together. Our Class
President, Nicole Montipagni has great things in mind for us. Please don't miss out. College only
happens once. Grad school doesn't count. Let's celebrate our Senior year together.
So to end the risk of this sounding like a farewell speech, I dare to boldly go where no Pres.
has gone before. Student Government has always seemed to have problems communicating with
students. No matter how hard we try, we never seem to deliver what you really want. This year, we
try to change that We are focusing this year on giving you what you want. Hearing your complaints, praise, suggestions, and criticism, and addressing them. We want to make this year in SGA
to be as participative as possible. And with your help, we will deliver. I promise it.
As VP for Student Programming Lynn Russo said, this needs to be SGA's "year of response". This needs to be the year that we come through. For the students, for the faculty, for the
administration, and for Marist. We plan to make this year one for the books. Join us.

Well, by now we're about three
weeks into the semester, and
I'd like to welcome you all
back. Hopefully you're all
settled in by now, and on your
way to a fine semester at Marist
College. For you returning students, I'd like to welcome you
back. Student Government has
made some great leaps since
the end of last semester, tying
up some loose ends like the
Club Cap and the Freshman
Visitation Policy. With issues
like that already addressed,
we're excited to start up some
new projects.
For all freshman and
transfers, I'd like to welcome
you to Marist College. Hopefully your years here can be as
rewarding as they've been for
me. This is a wonderful institution, one that can offer you a
great deal of education and experience. Remember that this is
your college, and although you
have to follow rules and regulations, you are also entitled to
possible change some issues
that need to be worked on.
I see that I'm in the
third paragraph and I have yet
to introduce myself (great writing for a journalism major,
huh?). I'm Todd Lang, and I
hold the Senate Speaker. My
fellow senators have invested
their confidence in me to be a
spokesperson, and I intend to
do my best at that role.
What I'd like to say
mostly is that Student Government is here for you. You are the
people who voted us into these
positions, and it is our job to follow up on what you ask. As t
resident senator lam designates

out there you want to know
about, please let me know. M)

Students debate pros and cons of living off campus
b y BLYTHE MAUSOLF
Staff Writer
The number of students living off campus may not have
increased, but attitudes about
housing have changed.
According to Martin Rule, assistant director of Housing and
Residential Life, students are
becoming reluctant to move off
campus.
"Retention is causing
attrition..;.!! used to be students
would leave voluntarily, they
couldn't wait to move off campus. Now it's turning around,
everyone wants to stay on campus," Rule said.
Rule said that due to this
year's limited housing, the
housing office relied on the priority point system to make the
difficult decisions. Although
the point system has not
changed from previous years,
students are accumulating more
points than in the past.
This year, students needed an
average of 24.55 priority points
to live on campus. This was a
considerable increase from last
year's 21.55 average.
"The average was much higher
than anyone thought it would
be," said Rule.
After the final calculations,
Rule said 169 students were
turned away from Marist housing. The cuts were made in two
waves: one in the first week of
June, and one in the last.
The denied students received
a letter stating they were not
able to receive housing. They
also received a package of other
available residential options.

Gate House and St. Peter's:
preserving the Mari& tracMon
by N O M E MOZZONE
Staff Writer
No matter how close the construction on Route 9 comes to
campus, certain buildings cannot be touched.
. The United States Department
of die Interior has placed two of
Marist's buildings on the National Register of Historic
Places.
These buildings, the Kieran T.
Brennan Gatehouse and St. Peters Cottage, are die two small
stone buildings between Lowell
Thomas and Donnelly.
These buildings were constructed around 1870 and originally belonged to the Bech Estate, which the Marist Brothers
purchased in 1908.
Through the years, they have
had a wide variety of uses.
According to Brother Paul
Ambrose, StPeter's served as a
residence for the Marist Brothers until 1969. Before that, me
gardener of Bech's Estate used
itAmbrose said St. Peter's was
named for the Marist Brothers
who lived there from 1909 to
1936, and who taught classes at
St. Peter's School in
Poughkeepsie.
Today, Ambrose uses the
Gatehouse as a residence and
workspace.
He is the Coordinator of
Marist's Foreign Missions, an
organization that carries out the
Marist Brothers' original mission statement. This includes
a dedication to the principle of
service and a pursuit of higher
human values.
Marist's Foreign Missions
programs extend around the
globe to over 72 countries and
846 schools.
Ambrose also assists many
of Marist's foreign students,
and he often visits their families all over the world.
However, the programs at
work inside St. Peter's Cottage
do not only benefit Marist students. They also benefit the
youth in the area.
Two of these^programs, Liberty Partnerships Program (LPP)
and Upward Bound, are focused on the futures of
America's youths.

Every year, students from
all majors search for internships to fulfill their graduation requirements at Marist.
For some, including Matthew Stevenson, the experience gained through interning is invaluable.
"I learned more this summer than in any of my Marist
classes," Stevenson said.
"There's nothing better than
hands-on experience."
Stevenson interned this
summer at the John Urristead
Hospital, a state mental facility in North Carolina.
Stevenson, a psychology
major, worked with adolescents in the long-term unit of
the hospital for over 500
hours. His responsibilities
includedteaching physical
education courses, counselling a young sex-offender,
and Cworking as a rehab
technician.
Stevenson said he did as
much at the hospital as he
could legally do, and the internship tested his abilities.
"It was a tremendous challenge for me, and I wanted to
make sure I could live up to
that challenge," he said.

70's.
My table was located in the
70's section, an area dominated
by pictures of the Partridge and
Brady families. A copy of The
New York Times from March 23,
1976 hung above my table.
I was not given much time to
absorb the nostalgia, because a
courteous waitress promptly
took my order.
The nostalgic theme on the
walls is also reflected in the
menu, since many of the items
listed are renamed.
Appetizers at the Daily Planet
include Kryptonite Sticks, a.k.a.
mozzarella sticks ($4.85), and
Speedy Gonzales Nachos
($4.85). Another interesting
choice is the Fu Manchu
Dumplings, which are pork-filled
dumplings served with a ginger
soy sauce ($5.85).
A variety of salads, ranging
from $3.25 to $6.85, and soups
are also available.
I opted for the Bionic Buffalo
Wings ($4.85), a plate full of
plump and tender chicken wings
smothered in a spicy sauce,
served with blue cheese
dressing and vegetables.
There is also a vast selection
of entrees, including Aunt Bea's
pork chops ($9.95) and Yellow
Submarine Sole ($11.25).
This "American diner" also
includes the Jitterbug ($5.95), a
classic char-broiled patty
served open-face on white
bread with brown gravy.
Several burgers are offered,
and I decided to try the Fonz
Burger ($3.50). This is a huge
patty, piled high with toppings,
and served with Daily Planet
secret sauce.
A vegetable burger, the Joe
Friday ($3.50), is available for
the health-conscious customer.
For an additional $1.95, a
burger will be accompanied by
a hearty portion of french fries.
The Daily Planet has its own
bakery and freshly bakes a
variety of pies and cakes daily.
I finished my meal with a cup
of coffee ($0.75) and a gigantic
slice of Chocolate Mousse Cake
($2.75).
The restaurant also offers oldfashioned soda fountain favorites, including a classic banana
split ($3.45) and extra thick milk
shakes, such as the Elvis ($2.25)
and the Roll Over Beethoven
Banana Shake ($2.85).
For customers 21 and over, a
full bar, an extensive wine list,
and a wide selection of beer are
available.
The Daily Planet is open for
breakfast, and it serves
traditional breakfasts, such as
eggs and pancakes. Captain
America ($2.65) is two eggs
served with potatoes and toast,
and Magilla cakes are an
interesting combination of
buttermilk pancakes covered
with bananas and chopped
walnuts.
At the Daily Planet, good
food, good service, and a great
atmosphere make for an
enjoyable meal. If you like the
Palace, you'll love the Daily
Planet.

Change:
at Marist... in life
Tta
The Student Newspaper of Marist College
The year is 1992. I, a long with most other upperclassmen now,
am a freshman at Marist College...
There is no such thing as The Student Center or The Midrise,
there is no green...only a large black-topped parking lot for
commuters...The New Townhouses are nothing more than a pile of
rock and an outcropping of trees and shrubs...All traffic enters
Marist through only two entrances, one right next to the baseball
field and the other near The Bank of New York.
Berties is not the happening place on Friday nights, instead it is
a dance club in downtown Poughkeepsie called Let's Dance...and
oh Friday afternoons a little bar across the street from The Lowell
Thomas Center named Skinner's is jam packed with students of all
ages... ' • • '-^r^r-r^^y-:'--.:-^:^-^:^
. ' • After you get back from a rough Friday or Saturday night out,
you do not head to the Cabaretr..you go to The River Room in the
bottom of Champagnat Hall.
Here you can get a slice of pizza and a Snapple for a couple
bucks all the way up until two in the morning.
The parking lot behind Gartiand Commons, ironically named Hoop
Lot, is not a parking lot at all, but rather a set of two outdoor
basketball courts.
You can go any decent day of the year and find a game
there...along with a couple of low hoops for dunking purposes...
Parking in Beck Place does not exist...instead, there are houses
there, some student occupied and some occupied by residents of
Poughkeepsie.
Across the street from Dyson is Marist East, then Fulton
Street...now Walmart?
Anyone could take a walk down behind Champagnat Parking Lot
to the tennis courts and play a decent game of tennis, and if you
happened to become sick or ill you didn't go to The Midrise to find
the infirmary, you traveled to a small building between Champagnat
and Leo Halls...
And the construction oh Route 9 has just gotten underway, coining the term "Vision'94"...then "Vision'96"...
Without a doubt, there has been an enormous amount of change
here since those care-free days of freshman year...some for the
better and some for the worse.
Often, being involved in so much change can be confusing, dis- *
turbing, and sometimes overwhelming.
It makes it easy to get caught up in the inconsequential, the
unessentials, and many times even easier to lose track of the important things in life.
To upp^rciassmen: Don't get caught up. Take the timetoremember, to recall, what is important to you...Dbn't forget where you
come from, how you got here, and who helped to get you here.
Recognize the people who were there for you...are there for
you...and appreciate them. Thank them.
To underclassmen: Be careful. You will change, it is inevitable.
It is also O.K., as long as you keep clear in your mind your sense
ofwhoyouare.
Change because you want to, not because others force you to.
Most importantly, never forget those who were there for you, those
who helped bring you here.
They deserve your respect at the very least. Learn all you can,
not just academically, but practically.
Many people say change is a scary thing. It can be if you let it
bei..if it controls you. However, it can also work to your benefit. It
can make you stronger, it can bring you knowledge. It is up to you
to determine which way it will work., af you are passive it will control you without a doubt, but if you are active you can use it to
work wonders. Whichever you decide, keep in mind...

Computers, Confidence and Candy Bars
The world sure has changed
a lot since the so-called
"good-old days".
Back in the "old" days, the
really cool thing to own was a
sports car.
You know, a 454 big block
engine, dual exhaust, fuzzy
dice hanging from the rear view
for that special look.
The car was the real American status symbol.
And if I've learned anything
from Happy Days re-runs and
American Graffiti it is that if
your car is the fastest you
could win the admiration of all
the girls.
"Hey Betty Sue!! If I beat
Billy Bob in a drag race on Suicide Curve will you be my
girl?"
And the girl would swoon "Oh Johnny!!"
But today the status symbol
is the personal computer.
These are the only things
that compare with the muscle
car of yester-year.
You know, Pentium Processor, Windows 95 for "multitasking", five color laser
printer.
These are today's status
symbols.
But unfortunately women
cannot, as far as I can tell, be
tricked into going out with you
because of your computer
prowess.
"Hey Sally! If I download
these files faster than Jenkins
over in Cubicle 7, will you go
out with me?"
It just doesn't work;
speak in front of a large group
of people, I get nervous.
The amount of nervousness
is a direct result of the amount
of time I've known about the
speech I must give.
The more time to worry, the
more worried I become.
But the only thing that calms
me down is that I read somewhere that Americans fear public speaking more than anything
else.
Speaking in public number 1,
death number 2.
Ifindit hard to believe that if
someone was on stage pointing

spots with that guy simply because he's on a stage in front of
people.
I mean, bullet in the head, or
podium.

from severe head trauma?
Seems simple enough..
If it's a choice between dealing with a coroner or dealing
with an audience, I'll gladly take
the audience.

bars.
Big ones = bad.
Small ones = good.
This is how candy bars work.
The Snickers bar is the smallest one out there.
There are three - maybe four
dainty bites in a Snickers bar.
Because everybody loves
Snickers, you've got to eat it in
big bites.
. These thing's are the midgets
of the candy bar world.
Whenever I'm called up to
But it's a different story with
those Almond Joys.
Or those Mounds.
These things are huge!!
Almost me size of your arm.
And nobody likes them.
It must be a huge vicious
circle with these things.
I mean since nobody likes
them, they must have great
stockpiles of the stuff Almond
Joys are made from just sitting
around waiting for a sudden
resurgence its popularity.
So the boys at the factory sit
around at executive meetings
and say things like, "Hey Mac,
what are we gonna do with all
this extra Almond Joy stuff?"
"Well, let's make these puppies huge!"
But the problem with this
idea is that people still don't
like Almond Joys.
No matter how big they are.
So now they just sit around
in the vending machine.
Imagine the conversation inside of mat vending machine.
"Hey you! Yea, the guy
about to put the dollar in the
machine.
Buy me! I'm huge! I've got
almonds and coconut.
I'm way bigger than that
Snickers bar."
And all the other candy bars
just laugh.
Even the O-Henry laughs.
Because they know that the
people on the outside say "Almonds and coconut!!??
What were they thinking?
Anyway, got any change?
I'm hungry and I need a
Snickers."

Don't lose the innocence
A long time ago, as I sat
at the kitchen table of our
typical suburban home
refusing to eat the spinach we
were having for dinner, my
mother asked me what seemed
to be a rather simple question:
"What
do you
My Turn want to
be
when you grow older?'
It didn't appear to be a
trick question.
When you're in
elementary school, everyone
knows their choices.
My occupation would
either turn out to be that of a
policeman, a doctor, or a
fireman.
As time progressed,
V
\
however, I began to learn that
it was not exactly a trick
question, but certainly a
difficult one, and it was far
from simple.
Last week I woke up to
the sounds of the train
running behind campus, the
scratchy voices of the water
plant workers over their
outdoor intercom...and that
same question running
through my head.
Being only eight
months away from graduation
and my entrance into the 'real
world', and having approximately sixteen years of
education behind me, I am still
left without an absolute
answer...but maybe that's how
it's supposed to be.
Whatever the case, I
still do not know the answer.
I do know that if
there's one thing, one feeling,
that I would want to carry with
me for the rest of my life it is
most certainly the innocence
of my childhood...when the
world was simple and
unthreatening.
When I had all the
answers I needed, yet hardly
knew anything at all.
Now, it seems that the
more educated I become, the
less I understand.
The more questions I
ask, the further away I move
from the answer.
The more I try to figure
things out, the more complicated they become.
Often I wonder if the
people who are most happy in
life are those who are content
with what they know, those
who do not want to be made
aware of the world around
them...those who are able to
retain the characteristics
common to that childhood
innocence.
I find it sad, especially at this stage in our lives,
that so many people lose sight
of this feeling. It is often held
back, or sometimes even
completely abandoned to
make room for things like
responsibility, and academic
knowledge. It is difficult to
keep in touch with this
innocence when we are
preparing to enter an atmosphere that shuns such
simplicity.
I have learned a great
many things in my last three
years at Marist College,
however, the most important
of them were not taught in a
classroom nor gotten out of a
textbook...they are not figures,
formulas, nor facts.
I called my mother
just the other day, and she
asked me, "Have you figured
out what you want to do with
your degree yet?" I told her
no, but I figured out what I
want out of the rest of my
life...to forever be a kid deep
down inside...

fessor at Marist, is the stepson
of Fite. .
"My stepfather realized that
what had startedput as the back
drop for sculpture had literally
become the sculpture, and the
carved pieces weren't relevant
to it anymore," said Richards.
So Fite decided to leave the
monolith untouched, and removed the other sculptures
from their pedestals. He then
spent the next 17 years of his
life working around the slopes
and natural springs of the landscape, continuing to create the
natural masterpiece.
"It was an incredibly courageous thing to do," said
Richards, "to make such a commitment to this immense, ab-
stract piece."
Fite died in 1976, three years
before his estimated completion
date. Fite's wife chose not to
have another stone mason finish the sculpture because it was
Fite's creation alone.
Richards said, " No one believed that he would actually
end his work after 40 years. It
was the product of his ceaseless imagination that could only
have been stopped by his
death."
About 10,000 people visit
Opus 40 each year. There is a
Quarryman's Museum on the
grounds which holds tools indigenous to the area, many of
which are handmade. In addition, there is a variety of enter-
tainment held at the site
throughout the season, including jazz concerts, poetry readings and book signings.
Melanie Hayes, a senior English major at Marist, recently
visited the site.
"Words cannot describe the
beauty of the grounds. You can
see the painstaking effort put
into it. I was really taken aback
by it," said Hayes.
Both the grounds and the museum are open Friday through
Sunday, from Memorial Day
through the end of October.
Admission is five dollars per
adult, four dollars for students
and seniors.

Director Bryan Singer has a
blockbuster of a suspense
thriller here; he plays each char-
acter off one another with brilliance, all the while turning the
screw, winding the plot, as well
as your nerves, toward its explosive ending. The final

"knock you on your butt" ending that will take your breath

Unfortunately, this film won't
get as much attention as 'Pulp

The Usual Suspects will linger

Marist redeems themselves; beat St. Francis 20-17

Staff Writer
Many great coaches have said
that a good offense is created
by a good defense.
The defending Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference champions have been finding it difficult early on to get their offense
in gear, despite an impressive21 start.

to take oh St. Francis College;
The special teams kicked
things off early, wasting no time
getting Marist on track for a
score.
Sophomore Mario Wilson recovered a St. Francis fumble on
the opening kickoff on the St.
Francis fifteen-yard line.
That early miscue led to
Marist's first touchdown of the
game; a two-yard option around
the right side by senior quarterback Pete Ford.
StrFrancis would then take advantage of a Marist turnover,
eventually kicking a field goal.
The Red Foxes quickly responded with a one-yard touchdown run by junior fullback
Gavin Cronin.
But ultimately, the story of the
Senior Paul Deckaj (#20) runs down the sideline with the game-winning interception on Sat
game was the play of the
defense.
According to head coach Jim
Parady, the defense came up
with big plays when the team
needed them most. .
"We didn't totally shut them
down," Parady said. "But our
red zone defense came up with
the big play when we needed
them(to)."
There were three times in the
first half that St. Francis threatened, having the ball inside the
Marist thirty-yard line. And
each time, St. Francis came out
empty handed.
St. Francis would eventually
break the Red Fox defense before the half and cut the lead to
14-10.
The Marist defense turned it
up again in the second with another defensive gem.
Senior Paul Deckaj took an interception 64 yards for what
would turn out to be the game
winning score.
Up 20-17 late in the game, the
Marist defense once again held
its ground, twice refusing St.
Francis to establish any type of
offensive momentum.
Even though Marist walked
away with a 20-17 win, Parady
said his team is still not at the
level it once was and has work
to do.
"There is definitely room for
improvement, but I am pleased
to be 2-1," Parady said. "When
you win the close games like
this, it puts you in a position to
have a good season."

The Red Foxes enjoy a bye this
weekend.
- But they can not afford to sit
back,'however, as they will get
a major test when they travel to
St. John's on Sept. 29 to take on
the Red Storm.
Last year, Marist beat St.
John's for'the MAAC championship, but the Red Storm were
able to.get the last laugh by
somehow getting the bowl bid
over Marist, a move that left
many people speculating as to
why.
The Red Foxes would like to
get revenge on St. John's, but
Parady is trying to down-play it
and treat it like just another
game.
"We are just going to treat it
as another football game, because we do have six more after
it," Parady said. "But there is a
little added
incentive to beat them."
With the defense shouldering
most of the burden thus far, the
offense needs tofindmore consistency, most notably in the
passing game.
The team has used four quarterbacks in three games, including starter Ford missing the second game against Fordham due
to injury.
The result has been the passing game coming around slowly.
Last Saturday the Red Foxes
only got 77 yards on five of 21
completions.
