xtra residents are the
cause of dorm overcrowding
By Pat Larkin
There are 953 students on
campus this semester, which is
approximately 200 more than last
year, according to Fred Lambert, assistant dean of student
life.
The extra number of students
on campus has caused singles to
be discontinued, and the tripling
of freshmen women in rooms.
Lambert said the increased
acceptance of women by admissions .is one reason for the
tripling of females in one room.
"Another reason Lambert said is
theaeceptance "of former Bennett
students into Marist.
During the first week of school
there were about 12 students
living in the Red Bull, a hotel
located about four miles south on
Route 9. Lambert said the
students living there were either
former Bennett students who
requested they live there temporarily rather than receive a
room on campus temporarily,
and upperclassmen who had paid
their room deposit only a few
days before the opening of school.
Lambert said these students
were given rooms on campus
after the first week of school.
He also said he has not received
any complaints regarding the
tripling of freshmen girls in one
room. He said some of the
students living in triple rooms
have requested to keep them.
However, three freshmen girls,
living in room 434 of Champagnat
Hall, said they have complained
to Lambert. Jeannie Langan, one
of the students, said "We never
had any choice in the matter."
Bernadette Keane, another one
of the girls living in the room,
said the room was "disgustingly
dirty" when they moved in.
Lambert said the decision to
discontinue singles was his "last
option."
According to Lambert, most of
the complaints have come from
students living on second floor
Leo. In the past, rooms on the
floor were singles, for girls, but
have been doubled up this year
due to the increase of resident
students.

MX. 76-77 budget in the red
by 1981, with installments coming
out of the. budgets of the. next four,
years. '"•
By Larry Striegel
Marist College finished trie
1976-77 fiscal year with a deficit
of approximately a "quarter
million dollars due to over
projections in its budget, according to Linus R. Foy,
president. It was the second time
in Marist's 31-years the college
has seen red; the first was in
1965, said Foy.
One of the biggest causes of the
deficit, which auditors estimate
at between $240 and $250
thousand, was an over projection
of last year's enrollment. Foy
said the estimate was made in
July of 1976, and fell short
because of an unexpected 30
percent drop in the number of
part-time students and a smaller
amount of upperclassmen.
When the drop became apparent to the college board of
trustees two months later, said
Foy, the board projected a $190
thousand deficit and cut
department spending levels in
the college to 85 percent.
However, cost overruns in four
areas including financial aid,
utilities, dormitory expenses and
the Dining Service, caused the
deficit to swell from $190
thousand to about a quarter
million dollars.
Foy said between $20,000 and
$50,000 too much was given out by

the school as financial aid. Also,
costs for dormitory operation,
and for the dining service, which
was run by the college for the
first time in 76-77, were underestimated. But, it was the
severely cold winter "which
broke our back,"- said Foy
figuratively
He added that the $2.9 million
McCann Center which was
dedicated April 17, was not a
cause of the deficit because the
building had a construction
budget separate from the college
budget.
Foy said the deficit will be paid
And lest the school again see
itself in the red, Foy said, "This
year we have a good crack at
balancing the budget."
He said registration is up this
year, and the dormitories which
last year roomed 732 students,
are filled with fall with about 950.
He said in the past the college
didn't over reserve for the dorms
as happened this year, and
auditors waited until September
to find out fall semester
enrollment before designing the
budget.
He said the college will watch
areas where overruns could
occur. The Dining Service will be
monitored by the week, and the
operation of the McCann Center
monitored by the month, said
Foy.
He added that the McCann's
summer operation was "excellent." And pool rentals for the
fall months are surpassing
projections. The nearly $1 million
mortgage on the newly constructed sports center will be
paid through capital drives, with
the interest on the loan being paid
from the college's budget, Foy
said.
have started a petition stating
they want singles given back to
them and a written apology from
the college administration for the
inconvenience concerning the
irregularities of campus life.
Lambert said he questioned
"the validity of the statement"
because not
every upperclassmen is affected by
everything listed on the petition.
Lambert also said if he were to
return the singles he would have
to throw out the students living in
the rooms and he said, "That
didn't seem terribly fair to me."
Lambert said he does not
consider the large number of
students on campus a problem.
"It's a sign the college is
growing," he concluded.
Reynard faces death
By Brian Deaver
The Reynard, Marist College's
yearbook, may not be published
this school year because of a debt
of more than $11,000 incurred
during the last eleven years.
Fred Lambert,-assistant dean
of students and the faculty liason
of The Reynard termed it "a
crisis situation." He said the
biggest-reason for the yearbook
club's financial problems is the
staff's failure "to collect advertising pledges from local
'merchants. Lambert also said
part of the reason for the large
deficit is the inability of members
to sell editions of the book
through the years.
This claim is evidenced by the
' large stacks of unsold Reynards
from the years 1972 through 1977
which line a wall in the yearbook
office. In all there are 54 cases
holding 24 per box. This is a total
of nearly 1,300 yearbooks which
will probably never be sold.
Lambert said the 1978 Reynard
staff will have to use clever
advertising in order to generate
interest among students, and in
turn generate sales. If this works,
the distribution of 450 copies'""of""
the Reynard should be a success
and the yearbook will stay alive.
Otherwise, the staff of the
Reynard may find themselves
preparing a yearbook which will
not be printed.

New fashion design center
under construction in old library
By Kathleen Lynch
The new fashion design center,
being housed in the old Donnelly
Library, will be completed by the
end of September, according to
Marist
College
Business
Manager Anthony Campilii.- The
center has an estimated price
between $15- and $25,000. The
construction mainly involves
walling in the upper and lower
levels of the old library and
adding four offices.
The money, says Mr. Campilii,
is coming from the "extra income" from the additional
students taken in when Bennett
College closed and Marist incorporated their programs.
The new students are.paying
equivalent tuition, room and
board as present students and are
now considered part of Marist
College, according to Campilii.
Mr. Campilii said, "I think the
college is furtunate to be able to
put the library cavity into
productive use."

College joins
nursing program
By Maria Troiano
Marist
College
recently
combined its efforts with Mount
St. Mary's College of Newburgh
to create a program for a
Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in
Nursing.
According to Peter O'Keefe,
Director
of
Continuing
Education, Mt. St. Mary's has
relocated its program to the
Marist campus. O'Keefe said
Marist accepted the program
because the "area has been
crying for this for years." He
added that Marist should have
had a nursing program years
ago.
The two-year program, which
was formally announced in
August, began this semester.
"There is a great need for this
degree in this area. We expect a
strong response," O'Keefe said.
Presently there are about twentyfive students enrolled with at
least one male in the group. All
students must hold a registered
nurse (R.N.) degree before entering. Upon completion of the
program, they will be awarded a
BS in Nursing from Mt. St.
Mary's.
According to O'Keefe, most of
the enrolled are part-time
students'. The liberal arts courses
taken by these students will be
regular courses already offered
at Marist. Nursing courses,
although located at Marist, will
be taught by instructors from Mt.
St. Mary's.
All students will deal directly
with Mt. St. Mary's concerning
processing. O'Keefe said they
will pay the standard Mt. St.
Mary's tuition, which is $79 per
credit.
Werenko named
arts chairman
By Mike Teitelbaum
John Werenko, a 1968 graduate
of Marist, was named the
chairman of the fine arts
department here in April: He
succeeds ' M r s . ' Fisher, who
retired in November.
The 31-year old Watertpwn
•'Conn.) native has" travelled
throughout most of the United
States, missing only the Northwest and Deep South. He has
been to Europe twice, including
Russia in 1968. Werenko's
grandparents are from Russia
but now reside in Connecticut.
Following his return from
Eastern Europe Werenko went
west to Albuquerque where he
enrolled in the U. of New Mexico.
He received a Bachelor of Arts
degree in studio art with a major
in painting in 1974 and got a
masters degree in the same
subject the next year.
Werenko has to finish his
dissertation to complete the
requirements for his Master of
Fine Arts degree.
While attending
U.N.M.
Werenko was chairman of the art
department at St. Pious
Prepatory School until 1973. He
also received a certificate in
secondary education in art and
English from New Mexico.
Werenko also taught painting,
drawing and design at the
university from 1974-77.
He had offers to teach at
Brescia College in Owensburg,
Ky. and a school in Colorado
Springs
but chose Marist
because he wanted to come back
to the East.
He began working on Aug. 9 one
day after Bennett College closed
because of financial difficulty.
"My major problem has been the
increase of the department's size
since accepting some four
Bennett teachers and getting
enough rooms and supplies for
everybody," Werenko said.
David Leigh, Ron Collier, Ralph
Della-volpe and Shirley Kopple
are the new art department
teachers from Bennett.
"A minor problem is the weak
slide collection of general art
history which must be improved," he said.
"I feel the arts department will
grow and change but it is difficult
at this time to say what it will
mean to Marist."
A professional artist who is
primarily a painter, Werenko has
his works in private collections in
Houston,
Denver
and
Albuquerque.
When he's not with his wife
Lydia, and their two children seven year old Christina and
seven-month old David, Werenko
is at his Hyde Park studio.
He has been teaching for nine
years and expects to stay at
Marist for at least five years,
depending on how the department evolves.
Amato now at Bard
By Gerard Biehner
Peter Amato, the residence
director at Marist College during
the 1976-77 school year, resigned
shortly after the end of the spring
semester due to personal feelings
which, made him choose not to
continue.
Amato, now the director of
residential life at nearby Bard
College, says he left Marist with
mixed feelings.
Amato
submitted
his
resignation to Dean Antonio
Perez on May 12, 1977, effective
June 30. Perez said that he knew
of no reasons for Amato's
resignation, and accepted the
resignation without question.
Amato said the views of other
administrators, in as far as the
approaching and handling of the
many problems which were in his
line of duty, were in conflict with
his own moral and ethical views.
Because of this conflict of
opinion, Amato experienced a
difficulty to work and thought it
best to leave. Amato refused to
elaborate on who the administraters were and which
problems were handled wrong.
He said he left a job he
did not feel comfortable in, but
still has very strong feelings for
Marist. "I still have a close and
fond feeling for many students
and faculty members at Marist
and I miss being there." Amato
said.

Rusting bulkheads removed
By Ken Healy
The hours at the pool in the
McCann Recreation Center will
be curtailed until further notice
because the bulkheads that
divide the swimming areas were
removed. The bulkheads, which
cost $10,000 apiece, were found to
be rusting just five months after
the facility opened. Because the
pool cannot be seperated from
the diving tank, groups renting
the pool between the hours of 6-9
p.m. have to be given use of the
whole pool.
Athletic Director Ron Petro
said that it was necessary to do
the repair work now before
permanent damage was done to
the bulkheads. He also said that a
similar problem had developed at
Fordham University's new
swimming pool which was built
by the same company.
The bulkheads which are 45
feet long were lifted out of the
pool with scaffolds and put on a
truck which will take them to
North Carolina where they were
built. They will be treated with a
more corrosive resistant epozy
and brought back "hopefully"
said Petro within three to four
weeks. In the meantime there
will be no free swim period from 6
til 9 p.m. The pool will reopen for
the use of students from 9 til
10:30.

t h e Marist College Preschool,
presently located in the basement
of Champagnat Hall, in the old
barn area, will be moving to the
old gym. According to Anthony
Campilii, business manager,
finishing touches will start the
week of September 12, and it
should be ready for use starting
September 19.
Mr. Paul Conin designed the
new facility which is estimated to
cost $5000. The exact cost will not
be determined until the end of the
month. The money is coming
from the tuition the Preschool
collects and anticipates to collect
over a period of a few years.
According to Campilii, "we did
much of our own work and used
materials we already had to keep
the cost down."
Part of the request the students
in Champagnat Hall had for 1977
was that they get this area back
for their own use. After the
Preschool vacates the room,
plans are being made to turn it
into a recreation room for
Champagnat
students.
Renovations are being planned
and vendors are being consulted,
according to Dolly Bodick,
coordinator of college activities.
The new recreation room should
be completed around October 1.
When the Preschool first
started in Champagnat two years
ago, it was to be there only one
semester. In the beginning, the
students in Champagnat shared
the facilities with the Preschool.
The Preschool used it during the
day and the students used it at
night.
Margaret Wicks, a graduate
student and one of the advisors
for the Preschool, said the room
did not seem to get much use by
the students.
Miss Wicks also said that the
Preschool staff are frustrated
because they expected the
preschool to be completed before
this year. They are not looking
forward to moving the equipment
while the preschoolers are there.
The Preschool staff is hoping that
the new classroom will be more
specifically
designed
for
preschool activities. As of now,
enrollment
is
twenty
preschoolers.
The future of the Preschool in
its new surroundings is uncertain, since the new Communication Arts center is also
being planned for the old gym.
CUB equipment stolen
By David Potter
Video taping equipment and a
reel-to-reel tape deck belonging
to the College Union Board
(C.U.B.) and worth almost $3,000
was stolen from the Campus
Center over the July 4th
weekend. As a result, the video
tape program may not be started
until early. November, according
to Kevin Stack, C.U.B. video tape
chairman.
C.U.B. intends to replace the
equipment with funds from an
insurance policy. However, the
insurance policy has a $500
deductible clause and therefore
C.U.B. must pay the first $500.
The money will come out of the

Stack.
The equipment was housed in a

The college will probably wait
until the Marist Chapel's 25th
anniversary in 1978 to rebuild its
sacristy which was destroyed in a
fire last Easter, according to
Anthony Campilii, business
manager.
Campilii said the school chose
to not "finalize" the insurance
settlement with Lloyd's of
London, the school's insurance
company, but to wait until the
anniversary to rebuild the
sacristy and renovate the chapel
simultaneously.
He said it would be foolish to
return the sacristy to its original
state before the blaze now and
then .again in 1978 to renovate
other parts of the chapel as an
anniversary gesture.
When Lloyd's of London settles
tl:e insurance matter of the
school, Campilii said it will be
decided "what funds are applicable to the fire damage, and
what funds will be applicable to
renovating the chapel."
Presently, possible renovations
are still in the "talking stage"
with the architect hired by the
school, according to the Rev.
Richard LaMorte, the director of
campus ministry and chaplain.
Fr. LaMorte said the old
sacristy was too large and the
school might get more use from a
smaller sacristy but with an
added Penance room. He said the
chapel might be restructured to
have a staging room to use as a
waiting area before events held
in the chapel.

When the students of Bennett
College learned August 12 that
their school was closing, 380 girls
were faced with the following
options: 1) they could go to
Marist College 2) they could go to
Pace University or 3) they could
stay out of school for the year.
Most of the girls chose Pace, but
98 percent of Bennett's fashion
majors or approximately 90 girls
decided on Marist as their new
school.
After two weeks here, the
former
Bennett
students
described their adjustment to
Marist. The reviews were mostly
favorable despite some obvious
problems.
Benoit House, which was closed
because of an insufficient
number of students, had to be
reopened to accommodate the
incoming Bennett students.
The house was in poor condition
from the moment they moved in,
and they still do not have a dryer,
a complete kitchen, or sufficient
furniture or lighting. However,
these inconveniences seem to
have been overlooked by the
former Bennett students when
talking about life at Marist.
"It's not too big," said Kimberley Fiterman 18-year-old
sophomore. "Here, you're a
person and not just a number."
Ms. Fiterman said she felt that
the girls in Benoit have been well
accepted by the rest of the
campus.
Lisa DeZalia, an 18-year-old
freshman said "I like the campus
and I like the people." Ms.
DeZalia said she enjoys the fact
that she can now participate in
such activities as karate.
Sally Roberts, and Pat Van
Tassell, both 19 year old
sophomores and roommates said
they felt there was "a lot more
going on here. Bennett was
basically a suitcase school" they
said.
Delana Adams, a 19 year old
sophomore, said she liked
practically everything about
Marist. "I like the programs, the
activities, and especially the
recreation center."
Liz Bennett a 19 year old
sophomore, said " I like it
(Marist) a lot better than Bennett, because it's larger, there
are more guys, and it's a \ot more
relaxed."
The consensus indicates Marist
College is a hit with the former
Bennett students. However, there
are a couple of minor wrinkles
which still need to be ironed out.
One of these is the tab "Bennett
girls" that has been placed on the
newcomers.
As
Cynthia
Youngman, a 17 year old freshman put it, "some think we're a
bunch of stuck-up snobs."
Whatever people's opinions may
be, one thing is for certain;
Bennett girls have now become
Marist girls.

There you are, armed with shot
glasses galore, fathoms of fizzle
sticks, goblets hanging overhead,
and the best collection of imbibing liquids this side of the
Lehigh Valley.
Then some big stud comes
walking up to the bar with his
chick and asks for Swamp Water
for her, and a Blue Whale for
himself. You search your
memory which contains an arsenal of powerful concoctions,
but nowhere can you find two
such exotic drinks.
What do you do? Fake it?
No way, says Marist head
bartender Joe Mula. "Never be
afraid to ask what's in a drink, or
go back to look at the bartender's
guide...nobody's expected to
remember everything."
This information on swallowing
your pride was only part of a
presentation by Mula Monday
night in the New Dining Room
when he showed about 80 students
how to mix some of the drinks
people swallow when they're out
socializing.
Because of a new college
drinking policy only students who
attended the class will be allowed
to act as bartenders at campus
social functions.
During the hour-long lecture,
Mula whose favorite drink is a CC
and Seven, showed students
recipes for the most popular
drinks. Such basics as a Bloody
Mary, Gin and Tonic, Vodka
Collins and a Manhattan were
mixed by volunteers at a
makeshift bar under the direction
of Mula.
Student Bo Mason whipped up a
Screwdriver with no trouble until
Dining Service Manager Joe
Lurenz pointed out that Mason
used the wrong sized glass. Mula
then explained which glass goes
with which drink and why.
After demonstrating and
distributing for a sample about
ten drinks, Mula discussed
mixology with his amply experienced audience. Some
disagreed with the 'tender about
some of his recipes, and he explained, "A drink isn't always
mixed the same way. I can show
you three different bar books that
do it three different ways."
But aside from the many
mixes, was the equally important
advice he gave on the etiquette of
bartending. "If a customer asks
for a Seagrams and Seven, and
you don't have Seagrams, ask
him for another order," said
Mula. "Take good care of people
and they'll take good care of
you," he added, alluding to
generous tips which can be
gained.
Mula said he began bartending
12 years ago while he was in the
Army. Since then it has been his
only profession and he has
worked at several establishments
including a bar called The Wreck
which is part of the well known
chain of Castaway clubs in
Miami, Fla., and the Casablanca,

There is a sign on the wall in the ReynardCircle office in room 268 of the campus center which says, "Want Future Memories?

sell their books. The reason nearly 13,000
copies of the book sit dormant brings us back
to an old nemisis.
It's that word which often makes it's appearance weekly in this space.
Apathy.
"No. not again." you say.
Yeah, again.
The yearbook is a tough piece of work to
complete, and k-'s pretty frustrating for the
staff when they sell only 250 or so copies in a
school of 1,500 year after year. It takes a
bunch of time to put it together, and is truly a
thankless job for the staff members who give
up more nights of sleep than they'd-like to
remember.
The problem with the book is that it's so
expensive. Last year the Reynard cost $14.
Editorials
That's a lot of money. We won't say
memories are priceless and that you should
buy the book no matter how much it costs.
We say, get on the staff of the Reynard and
help them keep a Marist tradition alive. Help
them sell advertisements for their back pages
and in turn lower the price.
Buy a book this year. P u t a deposit down
on a book when they're being sold next week.
Get involved in it.
- . . {' "':"
-)-•>;
The final irony of letting the .Reynard
become extinct is that the book which was
the purveyor of memories will itself be only a
memory. It's up to students - don't let it'happen. '
Commuter involvement
With the increased enrollment of students
at Marist this year, there are approximately
1700 full time students.
Every one of these students must pay a
$30 activity fee per semester. This $30 goes
to the McGann Center, student government,
ari"d CUB.
Student government funds all clubs on
campus. There are approximately 20 clubs.
WMCR, the Gaelic Society, The Political
Science' club, Accounting Society, and
Children's Theater are only a handful of the
different variety of clubs on campus.
A club offers a student many advantages.
It goes beyond the classroom, where a
student learns the theories of his field. If he
joins a club, he has the opportunity to put
these theories into practice.
Most of the students involved with clubs
are residents. Commuters do not get involved
in clubs at Marist. Commuters can offer the
clubs needed support they need to operate on
a maximum basis.
Part of the $30 goes to CUB, who plans activities on campus. However, only resident
students attend mixers, cocktail parties, coffeehouses, and movies. All CUB events are
posted in Champagnat and Donnelly Halls.
Commuters should look at the bulletin
boards and attend events on campus. CUB
should also be reminded to keep the commuters aware of the activities on campus.
Since the commuters pay $60 per year
then it would seem that you are wasting their
money by not attending events on campus.

Help Us
To the editors,
The time is now to become
involved in the production of the
1978 Reynard - the Marist
yearbook.
We are making a concerted
effort to involve as many people
as possible including incoming
freshmen and graduating seniors
as well as faculty members and
residents and commuters. We
need you to build this year's book.
We need writers, photographers,
sales people, layout people,
typists, advertising representatives and anyone with any
interest in seeing a quality book
produced this year.
In the past, the staff of the
Reynard has been disappointed.
Why? Because we have only been
able to sell a limited number of
books. This situation has put the
yearbook in a debt of $12,000
incurred over an eleven year
period.
We are asking for positive
suggestions,
constructive
criticism, and any ideas that
YOU, THE STUDENT can offer
in order to make this year's book
the finest ever...not to mention
one a student will be proud to
own.
We are, however, faced with a
dilemma. The Reynard is in
It can't happen
To the Editors:
We are at a point in the history
of this campus wnere the
residents- must decide to what
extent they wish to govern
themselves, and to what extent
they will be content to. play a
'consultative' role in their own
, lives.
Mr. Fred Lambert believes
that the only function of the Interhouse Council is to act as a
conduit of communication.
Believing this, he has decided
that the Interhouse Council has
failed and should be abolished.
He is wrong.
The salary of every administration official is dependent upon the existence of a
sufficiently sizable student body.
One can naturally conclude from
that, that we are the arbiters of
what policies we are paying them
to administrate. The issue is not
communication as such; the
issue is now selfdetermination.
A Senate of 38 would be much
less able to make firm decisions
than a Council of 12. Mr. Lambert
not only conceded that point, he
made it a cornerstone of his case.
He does not think that the multidorm student body, whatever it
may be or become, should have
any right to make decisions. It's
job must then be to apply the
proverbial rubber stamp to
autocratic pronouncements. To
oppose autocracy is therefore to
danger of extinction as a result of
the tremendous deficit. In order
to "Save the Reynard" we must
increase sales by a significant
margin.
Sales of the book will commence starting Monday Sept.
23rd. Names and room numbers
of those selling books will be
posted in each dorm. Yearbooks
will also be sold outside the
cafeteria, during the dinner hour
each night next week. The
number of copies sold will have a
direct bearing on the fate of this
year's Reynard, as well as future
yearbooks at Marist.
The editors and staff receive no
monetary compensation for the
tremendous amount of time spent
in an effort to produce a
publication which represents an
"invaluable investment" in the
memories of your Marist experience.
Please take time to write your
positive suggestions on a piece of
paper. We urge all students to
help us "Save the Reynard" by
sending their name and room
number with suggestions and
criticism to the Reynard Box
which will be located at the door
in the cafeteria during meals.
Please help us "Save the
Reynard."
Thank You,
Suzanne Gallucci and
the staff of the
1978 Reynard
defend the council. If the Interhouse Council has not been
very effective in the past, that is
a fault which more careful
selection of members may improve, but abolition certainly will
not.
If a referendum is taken on this
question, as I have been told it
may, 1 urge all students to
boycott it. The administration
should propose such a change
only through the same channels a
disgruntled student would use
(although far be it from me to
suppose that such beings exist).
I am asking residents to take
four simple steps to defend their
council so that it. may later
defend them.
1. House Council elections shall
be held within the next two
weeks. Insure that your floor
representatives support the IHC.
2. Boycott any referendum on
the issue, in that it is an evasive
procedure.
3. Let Blanchard, Breen, Ng
and Biscardi know how you feel.
We elected them.
4. In many of the dorms one or
both
of
the
Interhouse
representatives have left the,
dorm they were to represent,
thus creating a vacancy. The
House Councils, when constituted, should fill these
vacancies so that a complete
Interhouse Council will be in
existence.
Hopefully, although I am" not
hopeful, these actions will be
sufficient.

Hypnotist stuns audience
for second year in a row
ByPatLarkin
Former President Richard M.
Nixon made a special guest
appearance. Saturday night in the
Marist College theater during the
show put on by John Kolisch,
hypnotist.
The part of Nixon was played
by Jim Kenney after- Kolisch
hypnotized him and told Kenney
he was Nixon pleading his innocence to the audience.
Kolisch, who calls himself the
world's fastest hypnotist, entertained a crowd of more than
300. The show, which lasted
approximately three hours and
forty five minutes was divided in
half. Kolisch said he used extra
sensory perception in the first
half while in the second half,
Marist students were hypnotized,
then acted out post hypnotic
suggestions-given to them by
Kolisch.
Kolisch demonstrated his ESP
power when he gave the serial
number of a ten dollar bill given
to him by a member of the
audience. He performed this feat
with a blindfold, and tape
covering his eyes.
During the second half of the
show students who were hypnotized were asked how they
would spend $100. Some of their
responses were "go to Franks
and do shots of Jack Daniels and
beer chasers all night," "rent a
yacht," "buy a couple of cases of
scotch" and "go visit my
boyfriend."
Other highlights included a Mr.
America contest featuring eight
Marist students vying for the
title, a karate expert giving an
exhibition, singing exhibition by
Diana Ross, and an opera star
performing "Please give me
back my bellybutton."
Visitors from Venus were on
stage to give the audience the
sleeping, eating and sexual
habits of creatures from Venus.
The final scene featured a pair
of imaginary X-ray glasses given
to the hypnotized students. They
looked into the audience, occasionally making a request for a
member of the audience to stand
up so they could get a better look.
Kolisch then told the hypnotized
H y p n o t i s t John Kolisch
students they were naked and to when you wake up you forget
cover up. There was a scramble everything." The crowd stood
for the chairs to use as coverup. up and gave him a standing
Kolisch ended the show saying ovation.
"It's (hypnosis) like a dream,
Jim K e n n e y thinks he's Richard N i x o n a n d pleads f o r his
innocence w h i l e Kolisch cracks up. (Circle photos by Paul
Nunziata)
AAesmerizer with an accent
Aside from making people do
funny things on stage, or finding
hidden objects while blindfolded,
hypnotist and showman, John
Kolisch has a serious side and an
interesting past.
He came to America from
Vienna in. 1938 when Hitler came
to power in Germany. He was
introduced to hypnosis in 1952 by
a psychiatrist who taught him
about the field worked with
medical hypnotism until 1957
when the American Medical
Association rejected those
without a degree.
Kolisch decided to go into the
entertainment field after he saw
hypnotism used on stage. He
claims to be the world's fastest
hypnotist, and can put a person
into a trance in five seconds.
"I work most with college
students, it is my particular
specialty," he says. "I would turn
down a nightclub job if I could be
working at a college instead. I
like being around college
students."
In his show, the grey haired
and goateed entertainer selects
volunteers from the audience. "I
have developed an acuity for
picking the best subjects. I try to
keep the show on an entertaining
level. The audience is paying
good money and I don't believe in
shortchanging anyone."
Kolisch says he has a favorable
attitude towards life. " I ' m
basically an introvert and I like
people. I think it pays to be
positive in life."
Speaking with a deep Austrian
accent, he explains that he would
never use his hypnotism for the
wrong reasons. "If a subject
should have a problem, I would
never let it come to the floor. I
feel that as a hypnotist I can only
tell them to do what they want. I
would not take advantage of
anyone."
The Jackson Heights resident
said that hypnotism can be used
to help a person stop smoking or
to improve athletic performance.
It is also used in natural childbirth and in important surgical
operations.
A student under t h e influence of Kolisch's hypnotism
sings, "Please g i v e m e back m y b e l l y b u t t o n ! "

Last spring if you happened to
get back to your dorm after 2
•a.m. you probably had to go find
a campus guard to unlock the
front door. But this year you
shouldn?t have that problem,
according to Marist College
Security Director
Joseph
Waters.
As part of changes made in
security operations for the fall,
dormitories will be locked at
midnight but a student guard will
be on duty in Sheahan, Champagnat and Leo Halls from 6 p.m.
to 6 a.m.
Last year guards would work
from 4 p.m. until 2 a.m. when
they would lock the door and
leave.
"I think | it will be convenient
for students," Waters said. "It's
the most valuable change we've
made for their safety."
Other chianges for the department include the addition of six
students to a staff which numbers
52, with 48 itudents working parttime and flour full-time guards,

Coming off their most successful fall season of succer in 14
years, the challenge for the 1977
edition of the Red Fox booters
will be to improve on last years
accomplishments while facing a
tougher schedule than last year.
1976 was the year they won the
Eastern Collegiate Athletic
Conference title.
Marist compiled a powerful 141-1 record, stained only by a 3-3
tie with Siena and a 1-0 setback on
a rain-soaked field in Nyack. And
in the voting to determine the
four teams that would make up
the 1976 NCAA Division 2
playoffs, Marist turned up fifth.
At the time, some cited bias as
a factor in the outcome, but coach
Howard "Doc" Goldman pointed
to what could have been considered a somewhat lighter,
schedule for Marist than other
teams vying for the four spots.
So, gone from the '77' schedule
are weak teams such as Dowling,
and Bloomfield and gone is
Marist from the CACC. Thus, the
Red Foxes this year, for the first
time, will be facing NY Tech and
sixth-ranked powerhouse
Oneonta, with the Oneonta match
serving as the most crucial for
the Marist booters who are
ranked 12th in the state in preseason polls.
Gone, also, however, are goalie
Jay Metzger, mid-fielder John
McGraw and fullbacks Jim
Titone and Kevin McGhee.
Replacing these positions which
were vacated by graduation will
be coach Goldman's biggest task,
especially with that of Metzger,
who compiled seven shutouts and
a 0.79 goals-against average.
The netminding job will be
mostly .handled by two,, top
prospects, returning sophomore
Rich Heffernan and first year

High on Sports
Con't from page 8
By Margaret Schubert
Marist has been selected by the
Nathional Science Foundation, to
receive a $40,000 grant, enabling
handicapped high school students
to explore the option of a career
in science.
Under the leadership of Dr.
Robert Rehwoldt, head of
Marist's
Natural
Science
Department; Dr. Timothy Ryan,
of the psychology department;
Mr. Joe Hines, director of Special
Services; and with the aid of six
non-handicapped Marist science
majors, who will be trained as
para-professionals, twenty-five
high school juniors and seniors
from the eastern part of the
country will be exposed to the
science experience during the
month of July, 1978. The students
will live in the dormitories with
their assistants and their exposure will include an environmental
science
investigation.
The Federal Government has
said there are not enough handicapped people in the field of
science and Dr. Rehwoldt agrees.
He feels "many handicapped
people are encouraged not to go
into science because it's a
laboratory career and a handicapped couldn't handle it." He
disagrees with this reasoning and
adds "You don't know the extent
of your handicap until you try it."
Labs can be equipped to meet the
needs of the handicapped and
there are scientific careers which
are not lab dominated but do
require an understanding of
scientific methodolgy.
The goal of the program is for
the students to experience first
hand what science has to offer;
the students are being offered an
experience without commiting
themselves. The project is being
designed to serve as a model that
can be easily duplicated at other
post secondary institutions.
Intramural program expanded

cheering basketball fans. You are
about to sink the crucial basket
which will make you the

This new twist is part of this
year's improved intramural

basketball games.
The foul shooting finals will be
held during half-time on

best teams in intramural 5-man
basketball will square off before
the C.W. Post game on Feb. 25.
In addition to the finals at the
McCann Center, Intramural
Director Eileen Witt has
scheduled a dozen new sports for
students to try their luck at
during both the fall and spring
semesters.
Already in progress is flag
football. The game is different
from the regular touch game
played last year in that each
player has a flag in his belt, and
play is dead when the ball
"carrier's flag is pulled from his
belt.
Other new sports on tap for the
fall include archery, foul
shooting, tennis, racquetball, and
EASY STREET
mixed 2 on 2 basketball. Ms. Witt
got the idea for the coed b-ball
when she saw it played at
Madison Square Garden where
she said it is very popular. The
new competitions will join
volleyball, soccer, 3 person
basketball, and the annual turkey
trot.
New sports for the spring are
tug 'o war, wrestling, wrist
wrestling, indoor track, badminton, handball, and swimming.
But despite the new programs,
Ms. Witt says a mechanical
problem has stifled the growth in
fall intramurals at least temporarily. She says she spent all
but two weeks during the summer vacation preparing the
schedule, but a broken down
copying machine prevented her I
from getting out information for
the football and volleyball roster
deadlines until a week before
they were due. As a result there
are only five men's flag football
teams this fall while last year
there were eight. Also, only four
men's and two women's teams
got their rosters in on time to
enable them to compete.
Ms. Witt says each student will
be receiving an Intramural
Handbook soon which contains
the year's schedule, and information on rosters, equipment
and rules for the competition. She
hopes the book will help students
get rosters in on time so a
maximum amount of teams will
be able to compete in every sport.

Vikings kick off season
Sunday versus Plattsburgh
ByKenHealy
The Marist Vikings kick-off
their 1977 season, at home on
Sunday against Plattsburg. This
will be the fourteenth season of
football at Marist, all of them
under head coach Ron Levine.
Plattsburg is a Division III
varsity team that is coming off a
3-7 season. "They looked very big
on film and they play a full
varsity schedule so they are used
to playing high calibre football
teams," said Levine.
Marist will be going with an
almost all new offensive line-up.
The only returning players being
linemen Jim Piersa, Jeff
DeCarlo, Bob McAndrew and Bob
Keller. The offensive backfield is
completely new. Freshman
Quarterback Bob Brannigan will
be working with five running
backs, only one of whom, Charley
Bender, was with the team last
season.
The only position the Vikings
are short at is receiver. Levine
has three defensive players at
that spot. Ron Clarke, transfer
student Gary Lambert and
defensive back Mike Laffin will
see action there.
Defense will again be the
Vikings' strong point. Coach
Mike Malet has most of last
year's team back. They will be
playing the familiar 4-4 defense
that has been a staple for years.
Malet said the linebackers would
be especially tough. They are led
by outside linebacker Ron Clarke
who was the Met-S defensive
player of the year in 1977.
Joining Clarke at linebacker is
senior Mike Schlitte and
newcomers Steve Misuta, Mike
Overby and Gary Lambert.
Malet also said back-ups John
Kelly and Rich Haubenriech
would see playing time.
At defensive end Mike Ragusa
and Jim Pagano are back and
there is a five way battle for the
two tackle positions. The back-
field has sophmore Brad
Callahan returning and Mike
Laffin has been switched from
halfback to defensive back.
The Vikings have one of the
toughest schedules they've ever
played. This season will have
four varsity teams, St. John's,
Plattsburg, Brooklyn College,
and Siena as opponents. In addition familiar names like
Manhattan, Iona and Fairleigh
Dickenson will face the Vikings.
One late change was made in
the schedule. Niagara will play
Marist on October 2, instead of
Concordia. Concordia dropped
football for the 1977 season and in
doing so caused the league name
to be changed to the Met-7
Conference.
All home games will be at 1:30
p.m. this year. Tickets will be on
sale at the gate for $2.00. Season
tickets are now on sale at the
athletic office and from team
members. They can be purchased for $5.00.

BOB COUFAL NAMED ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
Bob Coufal, a junior from North Merrick, L.I. has been named
Marist Athlete of the Week for the week ending Sept. 10.
Coufal was the top Red Fox finisher at Saturday s Glassboro
Invitational when he crossed the line nineteenth with a time of 26
minutes and 35 seconds.
CREW BEGINS FALL PRACTICES
The Marist crew began fall workouts Tuesday, Sept. 6. According
to 2nd year varsity rowing coach Gary Caldwell, the team will be
practicing on the water three times a week until the beginning of
October. The crew has also begun using the new rowing tanks in the
McCann Center for the first time this year. Many of the oarsmen
have given favorable reactions to the indoor facility.
A post script to the finish of last spring saw the Red Foxes come
away empty handed from last May's Dad Vail Regatta in
Philadelphia.
The lightweights, freshmen and women's teams all failed to
qualify for the finals. In a weird turn of events, the varsity
heavyweight eight thought they had qualified for the final for the
first time in the school's history, only to find they had to row an
extra race to become one of the final boats.
In their semifinal heat the lead boat, St. Josephs, was
disqualified because of poor steering, and Marist gained the final
by virtue of the decision.
However, on Friday night it was decided by a group of regatta
officials and coaches that Marist would meet Wesleyan in a match
race Saturday morning, and the winner would advance to the
finals. The heavies lost the race, and their chance to be in the final
race.
A happy post, post script saw Red Fox graduates Greg Tracy and
Pat O'Rourke place fourth in the pairs at the Intercollegiate
Rowing Association (IRA) Regatta held in Syracuse at the
beginning of June. Another Marist boat, with a crew of Pat Brown,
Jim Palatucci, Dan Gualtieri, and graduate Art Curran placed fifth
in the coxless fours at the IRA.
WOMEN BEGIN TENNIS SEASON
The women's tennis team will be competing during the fall this
year for the first time. They have four matches scheduled, with the
first against Vassar College this Wednesday here at 3:30 p.m.
Coach Eileen Witt says she has only one returning letterperson in
Suzanne Galucci. The rest of the team will be made up of freshmen
Jenny Johnson, Barbara Dow, Jane Brennan and Rita Kolb. Ms.
Witt says all were either ranked first or second in their respective
high schools.
INTRAMURAL ROUNDUP
Fall intramural competition kicked off on Monday with flag
football. In Memory of Goober's Tool defeated Shannon's Heroes 29
to 6, and in another game the Bearded Clams proved inpenetrable
and beaJL Wakely's Whalers 15 to 6.
In Monday night volleyball the male version of the Gregorian
Chancellors took two from Mango's Boys 11 to 7 and 7 to 2. The
female Gregorian Chancellors had a tougher time but held on to
win two games from Brews Crews with scores of 8 to 6 and 7 to 5.
Note: Filing for intramural tennis ends tomorrow. Names can be
entered at the sports department office or in Ms. Witt's office, 201C,
both in the McCann.
Rosters for soccer must be handed in by Friday, Sept. 23.
