The Middle States Evaluation Team, an accrediting group from the Middle States Association of Colleges and Universities, will be returning to Marist at the end of this month. In its last visit, the team criticized the college in three areas: the library holdings, af­firmative action and the Core program.

Following the November 1981 •visit, President Dennis J. Murray requested the creation of co-chaired presidential task forces to be made up of faculty and ad­ministrators to focus on these areas. He asked the task'forces to cite progress and make recom­mendations for further steps to be taken. --:

In a press conference for journalism students, Murray said the college has made extensive progress in the three areas. "Overall Marist is well prepared for the Middle States visit;" he s a i d . •...-••'

The Library . In its 1981 evaluation, Middle

States criticized Marist for the inadequate number of volumes in the library. The team suggested an increase:in budget and in the holdings with attention given to the problem of space.

A budget of $250,000 was

allocated to increase the" library ; holdings for this academic year; That figure is four times the amount that the library received in previous years. The library task force is co-chaired by Barbara Brenner, library director, and Dr. Eugene Best, assoicate professor of religious studies.-"We don't know how long that will continue, but it's a start," said Brenner.

The task - force's mission, according to the task force, is to build the library collection to support : undergraduate and graduate-level course work.

Middle States suggested Marist increase the library by 10,000

. volumes each year for five years, with a budget of $250,000 per year. The task force agreed that the library should expand by 50,000 volumes; but this increase' would be staggered over the years with extra build-up one year End a lesser increase" another. .The staggering would depend upon budget and space. The task force also suggested the library should have the flexibility to include resources other than books, such as films and audio-visual and TV equipment, in its increase of holdings.'

Space was another noted problem. The task force suggested a continuation of the

-open-stack concept. "We agreed.

that-space is a problem, but we didn't agree with all the con­clusions in the Middle States report," Best said. !:

The task force noted there should be study space for students using the library's resources, but there should be study space outside the library for students using their t»wn resources looking. for a quiet atmosphere..The possibility of . supervised classrooms or the cafeteria as possible alternatives were suggested. -

Moving the Learning Center and AV-TV out of the library was another idea. The learning center would be moved to the campus center and the AV-TV would be placed in the proposed Lowell Thomas Communications Center.

Storage space is another consideration. Books that aren't .in demand . may ". be placed in

: storage, leaving shelf space for books that are used frequently. According to Brenner, the library does have a storage facility, but it-is riot large enough, and not close enough to the library. •"

The task force also, recom­mended that the library keep up with new technology. With the technological revolution, the methods of information the ways ; to achieve them should be part of library functions. Marist should

be responding to this by training library staff and,by budgeting for development and maintenance of necessary equipment for data bases and automated systems.

. -JJrenner said; an on-line categorizing system is currently being used by the library to speed up the categorizing process. She further said that although there are new acquisitions, she is still working with the same size staff, which slows down the process.

The task force also suggested that a library Collection and Development Committee be formed with one member from each division, in order to insure that, the current deficiencies do not continue into the future.

Brenner said that students can recommend books for acquisition. Any suggestion will be taken into consideration. Brenner said the library is trying to spend the new money in the areas desired by students and faculty. '•-•""• The Core Program '..•

In the last report, the Middle . States team suggested there be a . re-evaluation of the Core program. The Presidential task force for the Core program focused on informing the faculty about the importance of the Core program and- getting faculty feedback on further development.

Dr. Milton Teichman, co-. chairman of the Core task force and professor of English, said he thinks that Middle States misinterpreted the "healthy controversies" of the faculty at the time of Marist's last evaluation. In the fall of 1981, Teichman said the faculty made proposals about the Core curriculum "for its further development. Teichman further said he thinks Middle States interpreted this to mean' the faculty was uncertain of what Core was about. "My impression is the faculty, on the whole, understood the Core curriculum, but we (the task force) took stops to insure the faculty were made to understand the importance of Core and support students going through the Core program," he said. " .

At a colloquium last fall, the faculty was able to ask questions and make recommendations for the-refinement of Core. Faculty members had the opportunity to link foundation and second-level courses.

The task force made five recommendations in its final report.

The first and second recom­mendations are to reach the

Galanti" dispute ends; new policies expected by Steven A. Berger

The semester-long controversy over a Labor Day party spon­sored by an unofficial student group was settjed last week when the Council of Student Leaders decided to donate profits from the party to Marist and to form a committee to study policies governing off-campus events. •

The party at Butterfield's, a local bar, was sponsored by a group calling itself Dirt Pit Manor, which has several CSL officers as its members.

The Rev. Richard A. LaMorte, assistant dean of students, said the advertisements for the party that were distributed by CSL officers were "in violation of the present guidelines of solicitation" and he threatened to take disciplinary action; against CSL President Keith Galanti. .

The formation of the com­mittee js an attempt to address the issue of where liabilities —. or legal responsibilities — rest in-the sponsoring and advertising of off-campus events. , Galanti said Gerard A. Cox, dean of student affairs, will contact Marist attorneys Cor-bally, Gartland and Rappleyea, who will answer any questions the newly-formed committee has while evaluating the present situation regarding off-campus events. ,

"We will ultimately set a policy for how events will be sponsored and advertised," said Galanti.

The committee will comprise CSL officers, according to Galanti, including himself, College Union Board President James Barnes and Stephen Funk,

: chairman of the Financial Board. The CSL agreed to use the

profits from the party to fund a campus cleanup this spring, according to Galanti, a member but not a spokesman for Dirt Pit" Manor.

Galanti said the amount of money being given was "in the neighborhood of $900."

"We (the CSL) approached President (Dennis J.) Murray and he agreed to match the money," said Galanti. "We hope to gather 500 people. We want the students to take pride in the school and whefe they live. Each class would plant a tree in its part of the campus," he said.

"When, it comes to landscape work; $1800 doesn't go far," Galanti added. "If the students help put the trees in the ground, the bulk of the money can be used for trees and shrubs. It is hoped maintenance can do the heavy work," he said.-

LaMorte and Galanti have met several times in recent weeks. LaMorte said no disciplinary action would be taken against

Marian Hull official The Marist College board of trustees Saturday approved Marian

Hall as the official name of the new freshman dormitory, said Gerard A. Cox, dean of student affairs.

According to Cox, the name Marian Hall was proposed because of the location of the building, its structural design and symbolic value. ••.•'" .

The building is adjacent to what used to be the Marian Building, the college's original classroom building.

Marian Hall has been built from the structure of the old gym­nasium — the first building constructed by the Marist Brothers.

Cox said that Marian Hall commemorates the original four-year college on this campus, known then as Marian College. According to Cox, honoring the foundations of the college reminds us that in time future generations will look back on the Marist College of

- today. A plaque with the dorm's official name will be placed in the front

staircase of the dorm, on a column of bricks, which was originally part of the old gym, Cox added.-

home still needs phones

by Donna Piper

The Residence Hall continues to be without pay telephone service primarily as a result of the building's construction schedule, according to Anthony V. Campilii, college business officer.

Campilii said that because ground for construction was not broken untirjune, phone service preparation took a lesser priority to the • housing of students. "Because the dorm was built in such a short period of time, there were priorities," said Campilii. "The main one-was to get the building constructed and the students in it."

When work did begin on-the phones, mechanical problems arose, said Campilii. When the wiring - reached Donnelly Hall, enroute to the main switchboard, the existing wire was found to be deteriorating and had to be replaced, he said.

There, were also problems with coordination between the telephone company and the school, Campilii said. Because the phone company had split, the school could no longer deal with one company. Because the companies themselves were going through a redefinition of jobs, determining where the respon­sibility lay became difficult.

"People were passing the buck. In the meantime, the phones never got in," he said.

Additional problems that prolonged the delay included the August telephone strike and misplacement of parts, said Campilii. "Everything that could have gone wrong with the phone system went wrong," he said.

Paul Canin, who designed the building, pointed out that there

Visit Continued from page 1 -common goal of general education by creating a more progressive sequence of Core courses. For this, the Academic Affairs Committee's Ad hoc Committee on Core/General Education was called into being by the Faculty Executive Com­mittee at the end of last semester. The committee is in the process of making a preliminary proposal to broaden the framework of Core.

The third task force recom­mendation is that the college should take a close look at the evaluation of Core courses and consider different evaluations from non-Core courses.

A director was assigned to the college writing program. This position focused on a revising of the course syllabus, working toward a common final exam and achieving a standard grading procedure.

The final recommendations were to continue to inform new faculty members about the Core program and, on a regular basis, events should be held for faculty to discuss issues relating to Core and general education.

The result of the task force, according to Teichman, was that "the faculty affirmed the.place of the Core curriculum and suggested the college go -even further to attain the common experience of a liberal arts education," he said. Affirmative Action

The evaluation team suggested Marist continue its attention to the recruitment of women and minorities to the staff and faculty.

Personnel Director Mark Adin said he and the task force worked very hard to c rea te a heterogenous mix on the staff since his arrival in Dec. 1981.

In 1981, the faculty had 13 full-time females and 67 full-time males. Now there are 24 full-time females and 65 full-time males, which is an increase of 84 percent females.

In 1983, 58 percent of all new hires were female and 17 percent were minorities. Minorities now have a 5 percent representation on the faculty.

In the administration, 44 percent are female, compared with 38 percent in 1981. Over the past year 53 percent of ad­ministrative positions were filled by women, 17 percent were minority, and 71 percent of promotions were females. Adin said he tried to create positions for clerical workers to move up to the administrative staff. "One of my personal priorities was to increase the upward mobility of the clerical staff," he said.

The task force recommended . that search committees, people

who interview prospective em­ployees, be heterogenous. It said an all-white male staff would tend to hire white males. Also, a personnel coordinator is going to be hired soon for aggressive external recruitment. In the past, Marist has just advertised in the newspaper about an available position. "We need different people of various cultural and ethnic backgrounds," said Adin. "The greater the diversity, the better off we will be and the more we will be able to offer students."

Adin said it is hard for Marist to compete in the larger markets for personnel. He hopes to make a continual advancement in the area of Affirmative Action, and was pleased with this year's figures which exceeded the national average.

The task force co-chairmen stated that their purpose was just to make recommendations following study and research. What is done with these proposals is up to the president and his staff. Some of these suggestions have been agreed upon and action has been taken, while others are still under consideration or have been negated.

Marist eyes new plan for education courses by Paul Beckerle -

Marisf is in the process of revamping its program in special education and elementary education in the wake of Mount St. Mary College's decision to stop providing courses for Marist education majors.

According to Elizabeth Nolan, director of teacher education! the change is necessary because of what she said was Mount St. Mary's unexplained decision to end its cooperative program with Marist.

"Last year Mount St. -Mary notified Marist that they no longer wished to continue the arrangement," said Nolan. "There was no explanation. They just said they had made the

Office trailer ready to open by Kathleen Driscoll

Parked behind the row of cars in the Donnelly Parking lot in the-corner of Leonidoff Field are the modular unit offices now ready for occupation for some Marist College faculty.

Unattractive from the outside, the modular trailer is constructed of beige aluminum with two wooden ramps. The interior holds nine carpeted and paneled rooms, one of which is a store room.

Anthony Tarantino, the new director of physical plant and growth said, "There is adequate room for a comfortable office, the smallest room being 8'xll ' ." Each room has storm windows and is both heated and air con­ditioned.

The modular unit will be a temporary, building for, needed office space. "It is only an ex­pedience to satisfy an immediate need," said Tarantino. He also said that the trailer was built to create office space that was

. replaced by classrooms. "Offices have been . converted to classrooms due to the growth in the student body," said Tarantino. . ' •

The major reason for the trailer was the cost factor.

decision to discontinue the af­filiation with Marist." -• Nolan said she speculates that Mount St. Mary officials may have thought cooperation with Marist hurt its ability to attract students who are trying to decide between the two schools.

"We did a research project on this two or three years into the program," said Nolan, "but the survey showed that the students who came to Marist would not have choosen Mount St. Mary's. It has always been a bone of contention with their ad­ministration office."

The program, which has been operating for 10 years, has 12 Marist students' enrolled. The current sophomore class will be the last class.;to .complete

River group plans suit

by Jef f rey DeSantis

The Hudson River Fisherman's Association is suing Exxon Corp. for allegedly polluting the Hudson River by dumping ballast from . the lower Hudson in the area near Hyde Park. -• Ballast is a heavy material placed in the hold of a ship to keep it low in the water.

The Association claims that Exxon needs two permits for its operations. The State P o l l u t a n t Discharge

- Elimination System (SPDES) -permit would allow it to make discharges, and the water supply permit is for the taking of fresh water.

, Nicholas A. Robinson, deputy commissioner of the state Department of En­vironmental Conservation, said, "No corporation may; acquire or distribute water for public water supply purposes without a permit."

If Exxon tankers are discharging just ballast, they do not need a permit. Ac­cording to Robinson, the discharge from the cargo tanks would require a SPDES permit.

The U.S. Attorney of the Southern District of New York • is investigating the charges of the Association.

education certification at the Mount.

According to Nolan, a proposal for .a jointly approved program in. special education and elementary education with another local college has been in the working. Nolan said that the final approval from both colleges has not yet been obtained, and that is why she is withholding the name of the other participating school.

Nolan said the program being designed now will have more of the required courses at Marist.

"The student from the cither college would come here for some courses, and our student will go there for some courses," said Nolan. "The program would be

. jointly registered under Marist as well as being registered under the

other college." According to Nolan, Marist

would add four new courses in , psychology and education. There ' will also be student teaching supervised by Marist; also, more faculty will be added in special education.

One student who is currently enrolled In the program at Mount St. Mary, a senior who wished to remain anonymous, said she had mixed feelings about the proposal.

"It's bad that Marist is leaving because Mount St. Mary's has a really good program and a great reputation for education, but it is good that we are getting out because we were paying Marist for our classes, and they were charging more then what Mount St. Mary's is charging," she said.

She also added that it is a good move because it meant that the students won't have to travel so far to get to class.

Maureen Hall, a junior, who is enrolled in the program said she feels that it is unfortunate that Marist won't be affiliated with Mount St. Mary, but she thinks that bringing the courses closer to Marist will help to allievate the transportation problem.

"Though I've heard that the reputation of the program at Mount St. Mary's is an excellent one, and the courses that I am enrolled in are good, the tran­sportation problem in some cases can be inconvenient. Perhaps if the program is moved more locally then the transportation can be supplied by Marist," Hall said.

The trailer cost approximately $33,000 according to Edward P. Waters, vice president for ad­ministration and finance. "The modular unit was only $15 a square foot as opposed to $60 or $70 a square' foot that a new building would cost," said

Waters. When asked if there were any

other alternatives, Waters said that this was the only possibility. "You make a judgement based on all the evidence, the trailer is very efficient, very effective and least expensive," said Waters.

Waters quoted Frank Lloyd Wright saying that, "beauty come from function." Waters said, "If they ever wanted to get rid of the trailer they can just call a tractor to come take it away.''

The trailer will be used tem­

porarily until the Lowell-Thomas Center is built. According to Waters, the trailer, which originally belonged to the Exxon Corporation, was a good in­vestment. "The market value will hold if we ever decide to sell," said Waters.

Exxon faces protests over river dumping by Jef f rey DeSantis

An Exxon tanker from Aruba is docked in the lower Hudson River near the ports in New York and New Jersey. It releases its ballast of salt water which keeps the ship low in the water. The ship refills with water from the lower Hudson.

The ship then heads up the river towards the stretch by Hyde Park, where it dumps its ballast. It refills its tanks with water considered drinkable by the state department of Environmental Conservation, and sails to Aruba.

If the Hudson River Fisher­

man's Association is correct, the water you drink may be polluted because of the dumping.

The association charged that the salt water discharged from the Exxon tankers contains excessive levels of behxene, ethyl benzene, touluene and xyline. Benxene is a

The Hudson River Fisherman's Association, an organization of sports and commerical fishermen, is suing Exxon for allegedly polluting the Hudson.

Exxon Corp. has ceased its Hudson River operation and is looking for an alternate water source.

Exxon Corp. has been taking the water, using it at their Aruba plant and selling the excess to the

New advertising credits create confusion by Christopher Serafini

While some students may have been surprised by their mid-term grades, approximately 100 students, received an additional surprise two weeks ago iVhen they opened their envelopes and looked at the computer print-outs inside. ~"

The upper-level Com­munication courses they had been taking since September were now listed in their mid-term transcripts as lower-level courses for the new Advertising minor.

The Introduction to Ad­vertising and Retail Sales and Promotion courses, originally listed as Communication courses

in 300 and 400 levels respectively, appeared on the mid-terms as courses for the Advertising minor in the 100 and 200 levels.

"We signed up for Com­munication courses," said Maureen Lynch, a sophomore Communication Arts major. "I needed those credits (in upper-level Communication courses) to go abroad next year and to graduate. I thought I had them, but 1 guess I do not."

Lynch and other Com­munication majors in Advertising

•courses need not worry, ac­cording to Registrar Dr. Elizabeth Ross. Despite the way their transcripts read, the students enrolled in these courses this semester may keep the original

Communication credits, or they may opt to declare an advertising minor, if they choose.

"We were unaware of student bewilderment concerning this situation," Ross said. "We thought the division would have informed the students of the new listings and of their option to keep the Communication credits. At least the credits can be used either way; no one really suf­fers."

Gene Rebcook, the instructor for these courses, said that the change should not have been made on the registrar's computer until next semester.

"The registrar just jumped the gun on this thing," Rebcook said. "The minor was just approved a

short time ago, and we had no time to work out all the bugs. Mistakes were bound to be made."

Beginning with registration this week, all advertising courses will be listed as part of the advertising minor and may not be used as credits in communication arts. Both Ross and Rebcook said they were uncertain these advertising courses would ever be dual-listed as both a advertising and corn-munitions.

Courses in advertising, offered this semester as liberal arts courses, will be considered non-liberal arts next semester, with the possible exception of In­troduction to Advertising, ac­cording to Rebcook.

Degrading Throughout the past week, the topic of

midterm grades has been the focus of a lot of conversations. Some students simply refuse to talk about them, while others have launched complaints as to the gifts they received from their professors.

Such complaints ranged from generalities like "If midterm grades don't count, then why do we have them?" to the more specific dissatisfactions of having received a "blanket C" for the course, in­dicating that the student is no smarter than any of his fellow classmates, nor holds any distinguishing intellectual qualities. In­stead, every student appears as a lifeless, emotionless body, who has been slumped in his seat for the last seven weeks, staring straight ahead but seeing nothing. Who even wants to know his grades, knowing the professor has no desire to grade you as an .:, individual, but rather as a blob?

Perhaps the most distressing and urgent complaint heard during the week was that of a female student. Prior to receiving her grades she arranged for a meeting with a male professor of a class she feared she

was failing. At the meeting, the professor confirmed that she was failing and would receive an F at midterms. He added, however, that she didn't have to receive that F. He suggested that in exchange for sexual favors she would receive ah A.

Are the above examples the basis for the Marist grading system? If so, an awful lot of people*:are being deceived. The college catalogue stresses that "grading is an objective measure of a student's mastery of a selected body of knowledge contained in a specific course." The mastery of knowledge involves memory, understanding and expression. Most likely, that expression does not denote sexuality.

If in fact such "degrading" grading systems are in use at Marist, as the evidence suggests, something had better be done about it. Having the Judeo Christian heritage that it does, Marist would not want its reputation ruined by these types of procedures.

Perhaps a review of the grading policy and its interpretations by professors is in need — before final exams.

Think it's easy? Editorials are hard to write. It's not only the actual act of composing

words for an editorial that is difficult,, however. It is the arduous decision of what issue needs attention and how the writer should approach that issue that sometimes makes the writing of an editorial an un­pleasant experience. When a reporterwrites a news story, he relates factual and'un-biased information. But when an editor reveals his opinions and those of this editorial staff, he knows he is taking a stand that some will oppose. He also knows that the readers' identification with The Circle is at risk the moment his pen touches the paper.

The writer's decision on how he actually feels about a situation is another difficulty with editorial writing. As a former reporter, a Circle editor is accustomed to seeing both sides of a situation — his head is clear of personal bias. Yet now he finds himself

behind the editor's desk eacn week, trying to churn out an opinionated statement on some aspect of Marist College.

Once he decides what avenue to take, the writer has to worry about the misin­terpretation that his editorial is a vehicle for personal cprnp.laints. Often, an editor.and., his associate editors feel compelled to take a position that opposes that of certain groups, such as the administration or even the majority of the student body. This doesn't mean that an editorial never says . anything positive about Marist — we've noted both good and bad points about Marist in the past. Afterall, we like Marist. If we didn't, we wouldn't be here. The Circle editors can only hope that by expressing their opinions, positive or negative, they are contributing to Marist by encouraging people to think twice, which is one step closer to making Marist even better.

Convocation Day

Dear Editors: This is to congratulate the

administration for "freeing u p " the Dean's Convocation Day process and for providing such an excellent speaker. This is also to congratulate all of the many students who volunteered their time to hear Dr. Wee's s t i m u l a t i n g and dramatic presentation on human rights. Their at tendance stemmed, presumably, from a sincere in­terest in the issues which, cer­

tainly in the case of individual rights are rooted in the basic value of respect for the individual — a value not revealed by those who noisily walked out during the final number by the Marist Chorus. I was shocked at this unbelieveably crude display of disrespect, not only for the singers and their director; but for those who wished to hear. Can a democracy survive if it rests;on the shoulders of the selfish?

Donation? Dear Editor:

This letter is concerning World Hunger Week. Why is it that when a student gives up his or her dinner during World Hunger Week that Seller's only donates one dollar? Why don't they donate the entire cost of the meal at the full price? Why should Seller's make a profit from our donation to aworthwhile cause? I

think that if we can sacrifice one meal, Seller's can at least sacrifice the full price of that meal. I also feel that it is great that Seller's wants to sponsor this type of event and I really don't mind giving up a meal, but I strongly feel that Seller's should donate the full price, instead of trying to make a profit.

portunity to say it has been my privilege to be your captain and teammate these past four years. I wish you the best of luck in the future, and hope you gain the respect you deserve-

Dr. Frank Bryant (Michael Caine) is a washed up college professor at a college that doesn't have the; heart or patience to bother firing him. Early on we see him reach for the novel "Lost Weekend" from his shelf, only so as to uncover a bottle of gin behind it. As the film progresses,

.we soon realize that he has a bottle of some kind- of booze behind just about every book in his office. His tutorials are a joke, and his students and superiors don ' t take him seriously anymore. That is, until Rita arrives.

Rita (Julie Walters) signs up for private tutoring with Dr. Bryant. But Rita is not your typical student. She dresses in a style that is not at all preppy, and walks with a step that would make Hitler look average by com­parison. Her thick Cockney accent makes you listen extra hard to her words.

Dr. Bryant doesn't know what to make of his new pupil, and the educating " that follows is per­formed by both teacher and student. For as much as Rita learns about the works of Checkov, Blake and Shakespeare, Frank learns about life beyond

mmmmm^Novembern, 1983 • the bottle and develops a loving friendship with his kooky student.

The dialogue is quite witty with great lines for both Caine and Walters. Caine seems to really enjoy playing the drunkard role. The most hilarious scenes come as we watch him literally stumble through a class lecture, or trying to dance at disco while heavily blitzed. The role is also sad­dening, because we see that the drinking really controls him and we don't know if he will ever overcome it.

Walter' role as Rita is the first of her career, and the per­formance she gives cannot be

THE CIRCLE Page 5 described as anything less then f a n t a s t i c . Her c h a r a c t e r gradually, however drastically, changes and we change with her. Frank turns out to indeed be a good teacher, and Rita discovers a lot about herself. The real shame of it all is that Ms. Walters will probably long be forgotten by the time the Academy Awards roll around next spring.

Overall, "Educating Rita" is engaging, touching, funny and real. In the midst of the pre-Christmas schlock of lackluster movies (all the good stuff gets held back until the holidays) this movie is a much-welcomed change of pace.

New shows, old comedy

by Richard Copp

Anyone who is a fan of the hilariously raunchy string of Mel Brooks films will undoubtedly-be familiar with the zany Madeline Kahn. Her comedy credits range from the crazed bride of a monster in "Young Franken­stein" to a rip roaring dance hall queen in "Blazing Saddles."

With her strange high pitched voice, wacky expressions, and amazing sense of timing, Kahn rates right up there with that select band of comic geniuses a s s o c i a t e d wi th B r o o k s ' outrageous movies. Stars like Gene Wilder, Harvey Korman, and the late Marty Feldman are but a few she has worked with on the big screen.

The question is why would someone as talented as Kahn retreat to such a restraining medium as television? Perhaps acting jobs are far and few between, but the fact remains that Kahn is the title character in the new ABC-TV Tuesday night sitcom "Oh, Madeline."

Following the slowly waning "Three's Company" on the prime time schedule, "Oh, Madeline" resembles its lead insofar that it's a sex farce, but in actuality its more of an updated version of those unforgettable " I Love Lucy'' episodes of the 1950's.

Kahn plays a housewife married for ten years to Charlie Wayne (James Sloyan), a romance novelist who writes under the name Crystal Love and is chased by his man hungry

editor Annie (Francine Tacker). At home, Madeline indulges in

various activities to keep trendy such as aerobics, pottery and eating tofu. Always around to help out is Madeline's faithful friend Doris (Jesse Welles) who is divorced from the lecherous travel agent Robert (Louis Giambalvo), who happens to be Charlie's best friend.

The stories all follow the typical sitcom formulas. In one show, Madeline must sneak into Robert's house to retrieve Doris' diary which contains a complete listing of her sexual fantasies from celebrities to football teams. A number of funny mishaps follow, but nothing we haven't seen before.

Without the talent of Kahn this series would be a totally lost

cause. The supporting players are only amusing when they have a genuinely funny line to dish out, and the situations will definitely be rehashed if the show lasts more than one season.

Kahn is the comic hero who truly saves this cross over between "Soap" and "Three's Com­pany." She is a remarkable ac­tress and there is little reason to doubt her ability to make people laugh.

"Oh, Madeline" is nothing new. It's not the first of its kind and it certainly won't be the last. Madeline indeed gives the face lift this run of the mill sitcom needs, but it may not be enough. If you're a Madeline Kahn fan, try it because chances are you'll like it. If you're not, don't waste your time.

The road to Germany byPatti Walsh and Lou Ann Seelig

After having ridden tho Orient Express for ' 10 hours, we stumbled off the train, tired after the all-night voyage. Before we could get our maps out, people were tapping us on the backpacks, asking if we were lost or needed help. We didn't speak the language, but they smiled anyway. We knew we weren't in Paris.

We don't have mid-term break or Thanksgiving vacation, but All Saints Day is just as big a holiday in Europe. So, for our first vacation, we chose to visit Munich.

We found a place to stay for the night, dropped off our baggage and headed for the Hofbrauhaus, the oversized beer hall, complete with oversized steins, pretzels, tuba players and barmaids. The menu also included a selection of American tourists, ranging from a guy from Maine studying in Germany to a Southerner who had just completed his doctorate in theology. But we all had one thing in common — we could down liters of beer.

We spent the next few days trying to see everything that Munich had to offer, which in­cluded all of the post-World War II reconstruction, the magnificent churches, the concentration camp at Dachau, the Olympic stadium and the obligatory art museums. It was hard to believe that, in spite of the devastation of the city, the spirit of the people enabled them not only to rebuild it, but to progress. We were uplifted by the newness, modernization and sense of worldly cooperation of the Olympic stadium, and jolted by the bleakness of Dachau. It was a strange feeling to realize we were walking on the same ground as prisioners had crossed when marching to their deaths. You don't see a place like that without reflecting a bit, but life — and our exploration — went on.

Part of our exploration entailed finding a different place to stay each night. It would have been easy if we had hostel cards to allow us to stay more than one night in one place, but "Let's Go Europe," our bible for the trip, didn't tell us that, so we had to hostel-hop.

We decided to ease the tran­sition back to Paris by stopping in a French city, Strasbourg, located in the province of Alsace, which has been claimed off and on over the years of France and Germany. The Brothers Grimm must have grown up there — the narrow streets, tiny bridges and the looming cathedral were right out of a fairy tale. We spent most of our time there taking pictures and we covered nearly every inch of the city on foot. We had plenty of time, since our train didn't leave until 2 a.m. It took the Orient Express only four hours to bring us "home" to Paris.

Through hazy eyes, we saw dawn/rush hour in the city, boarded the metro without even looking at the map, and stumbled back to the foyer just in time for breakfast. After having lived on chocolate bars for the past 24 hours, cafe au lait and bread was a welcome meal. Recounting our travel stories to familiar faces settled us right back into the routine. Does this mean we're adjusting?

Lou Ann Seelig and Patti Walsh are in the Marist Abroad Program.

Caputo's : overcomes setbacks by Kevin Sehulz

While most 18-year-olds were heading off to college or looking for work,' Nick Caputo was starting his own business.

He had worked in the pizza business since he was 14, and is how, ten years later, the owner, boss and employee of Caputo's Pizzeria, a popular Marist hangout, on North Road across from the Marist campus.

Wearing jeans, a baseball jersey and an apron, he/appears to be just an employee of the establishment. "I'm more of a worker," he said witli a laugh. "I'm no boss, that's for sure!"

But he is the boss and everything that happens at Caputo's concerns Nick Caputo.

With some help from his family, Caputo started his business on Route 9G in Hyde Park after graduating from Poughkeepsie High School. The business moved to its current location late in 1981.

Being so near to a college campus, Caputo tried to attract student customers while retaining the clientele of the original Caputo's in Hyde Park.

"It was like mixing grease with water," he said. "The locals feel betrayed when they come in here and see college kids. They think I'm making a fortune on them (students) and that I don't need their (the locals) business anymore."

In his attempt to "mix grease with water," Caputo at first had a wall separating the counter from the dining area. Offers of free pizza toppings and dinner specials for the locals had a limited response.

"We could tell by their ex­pressions and attitudes that they were rejecting us," he said: "I didn't know it could happen."

Caputo said that he currently gets about 90 percent of its business from Marist. Hurt by the closing of Western Publishing and the. opening of the Culinary's pizza-deli, business is nearly nonexistent when Marist is on vacation. . '• •...

He said, about the. summer break, that "17 weeks is like seventeen years."

In an attempt to attract more road business, Caputo is con­sidering a new road sign.

In order to maintain his business with Marist, Caputo keeps tabs on the latest developments at the college and offers free toppings. Caputo is

John F. Kennedy: 20 years later -

Nick Caputo is shown making a complimentary pizza for a Circle photographer.

(photo by Margo Kucick) currently considering some kind of contest between the. houses of each dorm, in which the house that buys the most pizzas can win a pizza party.

In the past couple of years Caputo's has gone through some modifications which were in­tended to satisfy the customers.

"At first we struggled to make it a restaurant," Caputo said. "But I'seemed that everything went the opposite; when he has waitresses, people didn't want them; when we didn't have them, people wanted to know where they were."

Another fixture not seen as often in the generally plain, but spotless interior of the restaurant, is Grandpa Caputo, the white-haired, cigar-smoking, Italian man who used to sit behind the counter almost every night. Although he annoyed many of the

older customers, according to Caputo, the students enjoy talking and joking with him.

"He told me once that he's the main attraction here," Caputo said with a grin.

Last February, fire broke out in the pizzeria causing severe smoke damage to the building. A suspect

~was arrested and charged with arson a few days later. He was caught attempting to set fire to another pizza place, which oc­cupies the original Caputo's building, according to Caputo.

Caputo used to work 80-90 hours per week, but has learned the importance of not pushing himself past his limit.

"It don't pay to get too ner­vous," he said. "If you got your health you got everything; if you don't got your health you ain't got nothing." ,

by Donna Piper

Everyone remembes what they were doing when it happened. Ask anyone.

Lee M. Miringoff, assistant professor of political science, was in seventh grade when his principal approached him solemnly, and informed him of the news. He thought that it wasn't serious.

Dr. Louis C. Zuccarello, associate professor of political science, was supervising a study hall of 250 students when a radio announced it over a PA system. He thought that it was someone "fooling around."

Vincent L. Toscano, Ph.D., assistant vice president and dean of academic programs and ser­vices, was picking up a few things for an anticipated trip when the local postmaster told him.

"He had a big smile on his face," Toscano said, "I thought he was joking."

My mother was taking a nap when she woke up from the blaring of the news over the T.V. set. She thought that she was having a nightmare.

Twenty years ago, the words of the 1:30 p.m. newscast of Nov. 22,-1963, were simple, but per­plexing. President John F. Kennedy was pronounced dead at Parkland Memorial Hospital.

- Today, people still find the assassination difficult to fully accept. Kennedy was young, vibrant, charming — a symbol of promise. His smile and air of; confidence are still remembered. His time in the White House was difficult and cluttrered with crisis.

Kennedy - was the first "television president:" As Toscano said, Kennedy used the' ; television effectively and the press loved him." He was the first president to come into your living room and look into your eyes*" : hesaid. ;.; ••"'.•'•'"-.

Maybe, Augustine Nolan,; assistant professor .- of 'com- •• munications, said, Kennedy's popularity as a president was, in part, a result of the fact that his assassination was the first such act of violence experienced by our

by Hollj A. Sraeel

The Vietnam War may 'have ended a decade ago, but William Olson, associate professor of. history and political science at Marist, is keeping the issue alive through a course offered this year in conjunction with a current Public Broadcasting Service television series, which is "designed to allow people to interpret the Vietnam War experiences.

"It seems to me that the Vietnam experience fun­damentally altered American society, as well as foreign policy," Olson said.

The course, offered to both tradit ional undergraduate students and Adult Education students, is being taught through three seminars lasting two hours each, in addition to the PBS series on Vietnam currently being aired on television. The students are expected to view each episode of the I3-part series which began on Oct. 4 and ends on Dec. 13.

"The series attempts to really provide a balanced appraisal. It

provides two different per­spectives, and allows the students to draw a conclusion," Olson said.

According to Olson, Americans did not understand the "Vietnam experience, or the cost to the United States, both human and economic. "The Vietnam War pi ts gene ra t ion aga ins t generation," Olson said.

In order for students to be able to analyze the series, Olson provides them with some necessary concepts of history through his lectures. According to Olson, these concepts are tools, such as perception and socialization, which enable students to interpret American involvement in Vietnam.

Asked about the success of teaching a course through a

.combination of lectures and a television series, Olson said that it is a new method for students to get accustomed to, especially since people are used to television as a means of entertainment.

"One of the problems with television courses is that people watch T.V. for entertainment, not

to learn, and as a consequence, you don't remember much for the exam," Olson said.

Olson suggested that students would do better by listening to tapes rather than by watching T.V. because they would con­centrate more on the tapes as a learning experience. "It is a general problem as college enters 'tele-courses,'" Olson said.

When asked if he felt the students were keeping up with the PBS series, viewed weekly by the students on their own, Olson said, "I think that they're watching it. How they're watching it is what's important to me. I don't think they are intending to watch the series for entertainment, but they're so used to television that way."

Because some of the episodes contain scenses of violence, the problem of viewing for en­tertainment rather than for the learning experience may increase at different times throughout the length of the course, but students are becoming aware of the problem.

society. "The initial first person to go has such a stunning effect,"* he said. He used the analogy of the first man to land on the moon. "People stopped in their tracks," he said. "Now, we could ask someone and they wouldn't know if a man was aloft or not. It's become commonplace."

Toscano said that the violence that occurred in the 10 years.after Kennedy's assassination, such as the continuation of the civil rights movement, the rising escalation of Americans in Vietnam, and the assassinations of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr., further emphasized his death.

People tend to wonder what it would have been like if Kennedy had not been assassinated, Toscano said. "The reality of Kennedy is the legend and the heart of the legend is the sense of what might have happened if he had lived," hesaid.

According to Nolan, " "The image or myth of what the promise might have been seems to live on and be more important than the substance of what he actually did," he said.

Zuccarello said that because Kennedy's time was so short, "a valid evaluation could never be formed."

Meanwhile, Lee Harvey Oswald remains a controversial figure. Even though in the '60s, according to Nolan, most of the public believed that Oswald acted alone, many accusations have been made to the contrary.

Zuccarello said that speculation is due, in part, to the fact that the public wants a better explanation than "some guy going up to the Texas Schoolbook Deposi tory, and killing the President. > ,;The , act doesn't match therhaghitude'' of what happened," hesaid.

The tragedy happened 20 years ago, and perceptions continue to be blurred. But one fact remains — John F. Kennedy's death left a nation numb. There was no. time-to prepare, or • perhaps, to recover. As one of his aides had said, "We knew it wouldn't last forever, but we didn't think it would end so soon."

TV course teaches about Vietnam

Women's peace group to give talk on arms

Irene Eckert, German peace activist on a fall nationwide tour sponsored by the U.S. section, of the Women's In­ternational League for Peace and Freedom, will speak about the growing European opposition to U.S. deployment of the Cruise and Pershing missiles at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 1 at the Friends Meeting House, 241 Hooker Avenue, Poughkeepsie.

Her talk, which is sponsored by the Mid-Hudson branch of WILPF, is free and open to the public.

Lisa Rudikoff, coordinator of the local WILPF branch, said that Eckert, a high school teacher from West Berlin, has taken a two-year leave of absence from teaching to travel and speak about arms race issues. ̂

Most recently she was a chief organizer of WILPF's "Stop the Arms Race" rally which was held in Brussels on In­ternational Women's Day, March 8, 1983, and drew over 10,000 persons from around the world. The rally ended a two-year campaign to secure the signatures of a million men and women opposed to the arms race and present them to NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) headquarters in Brussels.

Ms. Eckert has worked extensively in the field of peace education. From 1980 to 1982, she served on a joint com­mission representing the West Berlin teachers' union and the peace education department of the German Protestant Church. This group has organized lectures and seminars relating to the field of peace education and has produced a variety of teaching materials.

Lisa Rudikoff said that Ms. Eckert has reported that the peace movement everywhere is gaining momentum, but is perhaps nowhere as strong, as unified and as well informed about the issues as in West Germany and West Berlin.

"This, of course, is no coincidence but due to the fact that Germany is more densely packed with nuclear weapons than any other country in the world." The local WILPF coor­dinator also pointed out that the Pershing II missiles are to be deployed only in Germany.

2 new courses focus on women

November 17,1983 • THE CIRCLE • Page 9

by Caroline Kretz

Marist courses for the spring semester will'include two new of­ferings focusing on issues and topics affecting women.

Philosophy of Woman and Gender, Race and Language, are two upper-level courses that will be made available to Marist students for the first time next semester. Both courses take a look at those aspects of philosophy and communications which consider the ever-increasing role that gender plays in the study of these disciplines.

Nadine" Foley, assistant pro­fessor of philosophy, will teach the Philosophy of Woman course, and Nawal Lutfiyyal, assistant

• professor of communication arts, will teach the Gender, Race and Language course.

Lutfiyya, who is a new'addition to the Marist faculty this semester, said that the study of gender and race in relation to communication and language use is a relatively new area of study. Only in the last three years or so have social scientists begun to recognize the way in which sex

The Gender, v Race and Language course, according to Lutfiyya, will take a look at those characteristics and patterns of communication which are typical of women and various races in American society, and the effects these have in terms of com­munication.

The Philosophy of Woman course,, according to Foley, will explore the "sources of prevailing myths about women." The class will examine these myths through the wr i t ings of major philosophers who have written on the subject of women and will place these in perspective with the thought of some contemporary feminist philosophies,. Foley said.

Foley, who has authored and edited numerous works on the subject of women and the church, sees the Philosophy of Woman class as an opportunity to help contemporary college students in their own self-awareness. "Women have to be in touch with themselves and begin to understand their own sources of oppression," she said.

The Gender, Race and Language course will be primarily discussion oriented, Lutfiyya said. Discussion topics will in­clude "What aspects of Com-, munication denegrate blacks and women?", "Is Black English a deficient language?", "In what ways do women use the English language differently from men?", "Why do we define white/male communication as the standard — as the most valued form of communication?"

Lutfiyya said she hoped to con­duct the class in a seminar-like format to facilitate a large degree of student feed-back. The discus­sion topics and readings will be enlightening to many and especially interesting for those who are basically unfamiliar with the topic of gender, race and language.

Foley hopes to heighten student awareness and interest - in the Philosophy of Woman course. Foley said she hopes to find out if there's a market for this type of course at Marist. If there is, she said, it could point the way to other courses of this kind in the future.

Marist will roast Bob Norman by Paul Bcckerle

For 23 years he has helped hun­dreds of Marist students achieve their career goals, and on Nov. 19, Bob Norman's friends from the radio, television and academic commmunities will roast the man whom they say "Put Marist on themap." '".'.•.".,'. :;V

"Bob- Norman is Marist Col-' lege," said Ernie Enrico, bureau chief of the Times Herald, Troy, N.Y., and co-chairman of the event. "He molded me to where I am today:"

Enrico, a Marist alumnus, said that the purpose of the roast is to thank Norman for all that he has done. "For more than 23 years Bob has been developing a com­munication arts program at Marist. A roast is just a small way of saying thanks," said Enrico.

Norman, who is an associate professor of communication arts and internship director, came to Marist in 1960. Since then, he has

worked on building the com­munications program to where it is today.

"I'm very flattered about the idea of being roasted," said Nor­man. "To have people think enough about you, especially

Norman has worked with in the past, from his beginnings in radio to his present position as intern­ship director at Marist.

Some of the roasters scheduled will be Jake Maness, director of cooperative education; Dennis

'I'm sure there will be a lot of ribbing, but that's all right, because I've got stories also.'

— Bob Norman former students, really makes you feelgood."

Norman said that organizers are keeping many of the details about the roast from him but he expects that a lot of embarrassing moments will be brought up. "I'm sure there will be a lot of good-natured, tough ribbing stories which will be told," said Norman, "but that's all right because I've got stories also."

The roasters for this event in­clude some of the people whom

Murray, president of Marist; Bryan Maloney, alumni director at Marist; Jack McWeeney, WHVW Radio; and Ron Petro, athletic director at Marist. The master of ceremonies will be Tony Bell of Heritage Energy Company of Kingston.

The roast will start at 8:30 p.m. in the college dining room. All those interested in attending may obtain tickets by calling Leslie Heinrich in the co-op office, ex­tension 210.

IBM, Marist join for novel training program by Daisy Maxey

Something unusual is taking place in room 249 of the Campus Center.

The familiar classroom chhv chat is absent. The 17 students, all dressed in. business attire, enter the room quietly. On the front of: each desk is a name card and in the. back of the room

: refreshments are served.

The students, all IBM employees, are taking part in a unique training program that Marist has created in cooperation with IBM. The program, which began in November 1981, allows IBM employees to attend on-campus workshops during their work hours. The workshops are taught by Marist instructors and stress skills they hope will be valuable in the job world.

Anita Voogt is director of com­munity service programs at Marist and coordinator of the program. She explained that the program provides IBM with pro­fessional instructors to teach their employees and an alternative to in-house training. "The Students

enjoy the opportunity to be on a college campus away from the work environment. IBM's objec­tive in the program is to get peo­ple away from the interruptions of the workplace," she said.

Voogt said the program also benefits Marist by providing the instructors with experience, infor­mation and the opportunity to in­teract with people from other fields. "I t enhances their knowledge and keeps it current and relevant," Voogt said.

Voogt said the program began when Don McCoy, who was then education manager at IBM in East Fishkill, approached Marist with some specific ideas for workshops. Voogt explained that IBM and Marist worked closely to "put together a program that IBM wanted and Marist faculty and administration could sup­port."

The result was a program which consists of three workshops — Professional Skills Development, Personal Skills Development and Statistical Analysis Systems. The workshops, which range in length from three days to one week, are

taught in room 249 of the Cam­pus Center from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Andy Crecca, student secretary for college activities, has express­ed concern about IBM's use of room 249 because of the current space shortage in the Campus Center. According to Crecca, that room could be used for additional student space.

. Voogt said, though, that 249 is not used by IBM in the evening and that, during the day, space, must be provided if the workshops are to be taught. "The decision was made by the ad­ministration that we were going to run the program, so we have to provide space for them," she said.

Marist College President Den­nis J. Murray said he feels it is im­portant for colleges to service the adult and professional learner. "Marist has always been actively involved in meeting community needs," he said. "Part of com­munity needs is professional training for business firms and the professional sector."

Murray also said that the workshops.provide an interesting

opportunity for the instructors. "It keeps them alive and vital in the fields they are teaching in and provides extra income for them, which is something all colleges like to do," hesaid.

According to Voogt, about 15 instructors are involved in teaching the workshops and others help to prepare the cur­riculum and make new proposals. Voogt said instructors are chosen to teach a segment of a workshop if they express an interest and have the necessary qualifications. Each segment is taught in addi­tion to regular teaching duties and instructors are "in no way taken away from their classroom duties," said Voogt.

Assistant Professor of Com­munications Augustine Nolan, who teaches a segment called Completed Staff Work, said that teaching in the program has been beneficial to him. "It has caused me to develop my technical and presentation skills and to do more research in the area," Nolan said.

The students are "generally in­terested and cooperative," said Nolan. "I find it interesting. It is a different variety of student that

you are dealing with. It is a higher level with greater maturity."

Adjunct Instructor Diane Piatt, who teaches segments on interper­sonal communications and goal setting, said she enjoys teaching the workshops but regrets that, because of the short time period, she does not get to see the applica­tion of the material she teaches. "The disadvantage is that a workshop is easy-in, easy-out. You have the students for eight hours and don't ever see them again. I have a vested interest. I have to walk away from that. 1 find that difficult," she said.

Voogt said she is excited about the program and expects it to con­tinue and expand. "I see it conti­nuing. We are already negotiating a contract for next year," she said. "We are paying a lot more attention to this area. IBM is giv­ing us a good foundation to work with."

According to Voogt, the college is already starting to work with banks and has a team training program at Vassar Brothers Hospital. 'I am sure it is going to grow," she said. "It definitely is a trend."

Co-op seeks new after loss of grant by John Albinson

. The Cooperative Education program at Marist, one of the most successful programs of its nature in the area, has lost nearly all of its federal funding this year due to federal budget cuts within the Department of Education.

The program, previously fund­ed by a federal grant which allocated upwards of $150,000 over a three-year period, received only $3,100 for the '83-'84 year, v hich director Jake Maness said vent towards the development of

new internships for the handicap­ped.

With no federal funding, the program must look to other sources for funding. Maness was to attend a cabinet meeting at Marist this week to ask for ample money for the Co-op program.

Maness said that federal budget cutting may not be the only reason for the program losing its grant this year. The fact that Marist had 361 interns last year; 117 in the Fall, 177 in the Spring, and 67 in the Summer, may have prompted Washington to see how

well Marist would do without federal funding.

Maness said that the Cooperative Education program is a "paper program," whereby the director and his assistants write a report detailing the pro­gram and send it to Washington

' where it is placed before a panel of "readers." Their job is to in­terpret the report, judge and grade it. Maness said that the division within the Department of E d u c a t i o n deal ing with Cooperative Education then

Entrepreneurs hit snag by Heinz Warmhold

Two Marist College students who say they were looking for a way to make extra money mayface disciplinary action for selling T-shirts on campus.

Sophomores Peter Asselin and Tom Begg decided, during the course of last summer, that they would try selling T-shirts "to save our parents' money by being able to pay for our own books, part of our tuitions, and a spring break trip."

The shirts, which have a picture of a fox and the logo, "There's a little bit of fox in all of us" were made from a screen designed by Peter's brother David Asselin.

The problem with the students' plan arises from the rules regarding solicitation on campus. According to the Marist handbook. "No solicitation of any nature will be permitted on campus unless prior permission has been obtained from the appropriate office. Requests should be made in writing and the approving office will indicate in writing the specific location where solicitation should take place."

In what Asselin and Begg termed "a misunderstanding through a third party," they thought they had proper permission to sell the shirts, as long as they did not advertise in the form of posters or leaflets. Asselin and Begg now face possible disciplinary action for selling the shirts during freshman family day.

Neither student felt that what started out as a positive project might end up getting them in trouble.

"We felt that since we are both business majors we were only putting into practice what we have been taught here at Marist College," said Begg. Marist professor Dr. Gregory Kilgariff called the idea, "a good experiential technique," but added that you always have to check the laws governing a business action.

Other opportunities for Asselin and Begg to earn money, they say, are reduced by the fact that neither student qualifies for the work-study program.

"Currently the business and financial aid offices are seeking to eliminate people from campus jobs, who are on non-work study programs," said Asselin.

Asselin and Begg have since worked out a plan with Dick Quinn, assistant athletic director, to sell the shirts at the McCann Center during basketball games, with 25/t per shirt going to benefit the Marist swim team, which Asselin said, "is working" under a tight budget." This plan must be submitted to the college activities office for approval. Quinn said, "The reason we're doing it is because they give something back to the swim team."

allocates what it feels to be the proper amount of funding toward the program. Maness said there is no field staff to come to the cam­pus and personally inspect the program, but merely a panel of readers, three states away, judg­ing the writing ability of one or two men.

According to Maness, with the system being the way it is, the en­tire program liberally rests on one man's shoulders, which could lead some of the readers in the panel to draw false conclusions. Maness said that although Marist

had 361 interns last year and received no federal funding this year, another private area college, which Maness chose to remain nameless, had about 25 interns last year, and was allocated federal funding.

The program intends to present a brand-new proposal, due next month, to the board of readers next year. Maness said he has no doubts that the Cooperative Education program at Marist will get its grant for the '84-'85 school year.

Pre-schoolmoves into new home by Mary Hussey

Ever wonder who's camping in the Sheahan parking lot? Maybe you caught a glimpse last week of the line of miniature Marist peo­ple headed with chairs in hand to take up their new residence.

The Marist Pre-School has finally arrived at its new home — the trailer in the Sheahan parking lot. It was learned last spring that the preschool would have to move out of the old gym because of construction of the new residence hall.

According to Edward P. Waters, vice president for ad­ministration and finance, there was no other space available for the pre-school, and it was the least costly. "The trailer is good because it provides flexibility, no building can be taken up and down," he said.

Problems arose however in the delivery and setup of the trailer and a temporary space was necessary to keep the program go­ing. According to Joy Beurket, educational teacher, she ap­proached Betty Yeaglin, director of college activities who approved use of the Browsing Library. • Beurket said that communic-tion problems all along were a major reason for the delays. Ac­cording to Beurket, several dates were given before the actual move on Wednesday, Nov. 7.

Another problem, according io Beurket, was the fencing around the trailer. Beurket said that trou­ble with outside contractors delayed installment.

Dr. John Podzius, director of the program, sees the delays as

River Continued from page 3 Association, Exxon's tanker operations in the area increased dramatically after July.

John Cronin, riverkeeper for the association, estimates that Exxon Corp. removed a billion gallons of water from the Hudson.

"Industries and. municipalities in the Hudson Valley have spent a fortune trying to clean up the Hudson, and we didn't do it to turn it into the Aruban water­works," said Robert H. Boyle, president of the Hudson River

Fisherman's Association. Exxon Corp. said it charges

Aruba for the transportation of the water, not the water itself. Chenco Yarzaray, head of the water and energy department, said Exxon Corp. charges three times the cost of producing the same amount of water in its plants. Exxon Corp. charges $7 a metric ton, which amounts to approximately $ 10,50fra day.

unfortunate but is pleased that the children are settled in their new home.

According to Podzius, he em­phasized to parents that the pro­gram would continue in a tem­porary area. "The space was tight because it is an area used by dif­ferent groups, but the parents an­ticipated some problems," he said. v

Podzius said that the new loca­tion is more attractive to parents because it is more accessible. "Parents do not have to walk across campus to drop their children off now," he said. Pod­zius added that the area offers a good environment for the children because of the play area outside and the increased space inside.

Beurket agreed saying that the new area is good for the children and is quite versatile. "We are ex­tremely happy and the kids have been very cooperative," she said.

Beurket said that parents stood by her because Marist was able to keep the program going. She said: "I knew I'd love the building. I just wanted to get in. It's like waiting for Christmas.'*

According to Beurket, enroll­

ment is up this year with 38 children and the flexible schedules can meet the needs of various peo-

• pie. Beurket said that the pro­gram has three less children enrolled this year, but the reasons had nothing to do with the move.

John Cardis, a student teacher . at the pre-school, said that using the Browsing Library was a hard­ship for other students but he received few complaints.

Lolita Silva, a graduate student working with the pre-school, said that the Campus Center was just an inconvenience. "It was okay for the time, but the trailer in Mc­Cann is a great place to have the pre-school," she said.

ROTC makes gains in cadet enrollments by Phyllis C. Gauler

The Reserved Officers Training Corps has increased in size since it was instated at Marist last semester," according to Major Barbara Wingate, an instructor for the ROTC program here.

Last semester, when the pro­gram first started at Marist, it in­cluded 12 students, according to Wingate. "Normally a program will start with 12," Wingate said.

This semester there are 40 students enrolled in the ROTC program.

However, not all of the cadets are Marist students. Several of the cadets are students,, at. Mount Saint Mary's College in Newburgh, SUNY College at New Paltz, Dutchess Community Col­lege in Poughkeepsie and Pace University in White Plains, N.Y.

Of the 40 cadets, 18 are con­tracted, which means that they are juniors or seniors and receive payment. "We're pleased with this number," said Wingate.

The salary is a living allowance of $1,000 a year or about $100 a month.

With the increasing number of students in the program, the need

for more instructors is inevitable, according to Wingate. The pro­gram has only five instructors now.

Last fall, when the addition of the program was being debated, many were concerned that the

cadets would practice military maneuvers on campus. At that time, Colonel Herbert Siegel assured that such maneuvers would not take place on camus.

According to many students, they have seen the cadets training on campus. However, this is only physical training, according to cadet and Marist student Marcos Castro.

The physical training takes place by the McCann Athletic Center and the cadets are rarely seen by the other students, accor­ding to Castro.

Upon receipt of a bachelor's degree, the cadet is given the rank of a second lieutenant.

The cadets studying at Marist are doing well, according to Wingate. "The cadets respond well, show affinity as a group, have high morale and have mold­ed into a high motive group," said Wingate. "They have gained in maturity and ability," she said.

Letters-continued from page 4

Comm arts Dear Editor,

I would like to make some per­sonal observations about Marist's Comm Arts. Before I start I would like to point out that I'm not perfect, and I know most other people aren't either.

First, I would like to look into why radio is so neglected as a ma­jor that prepares you for the future. How can any student who graduates into the field of radio leave Marist without knowing how to splice or edit any type of audio tape?

Until last year, the radio pro­duction room was without a splic­ing block. You take classes in Journalism and spend two weeks on the history and the set-up of a newspaper. In radio broad­casting, you take the whole semester to learn about radio and then if you're lucky enough to get into Advanced Radio you might learn how to read some copy... Are you kidding me? Why does The Circle get twenty or so students each semester to write for The Circle? Because they have to in their Advanced Journalism class; it's their homework. Why doesn't WMCR get the radio classes to do stuff for them? Why, if we are spending millions of dollars on this imaginary Comm Arts.center, aren't we put­ting a radio, station on the air... you know, real radio! Why not!

If somebody came up to me as general manager of WMCR, and asked if he or she should go here for Communications I would say no, and right now I'm almost sorry I came to Marist. It is kind of dumb to spend thousands of dollars to get an internship in radio news across the city when you could be learning the same

stuff here. Too bad they don't have NCAA Division 1 Radio because we would be bigger than WPDH and WAPP put together.

Post office Dear Editor:

People depend on the post of­fice and it's very annoying when you expect a letter or package and you end'up waiting two days for it. This could have happened to you the past four weekends, with one exception during midterm vacation. The post office has decided to change its hours every Saturday and even once decided not to open. It is bad enough they are only opened till twelve noon on Saturdays but now you're lucky if they are opened till eleven-thirty. People who have their mail held and people who get notices saying they have a package are put out by this lack of commitment by the post office. All I'm asking the workers at the post office to do is keep the hours they have posted or give notice prior to the day they will close early. Hopefully this problem can be taken care of promptly so no one else will have to wait two days for their mail.

Yours truly, Arlene Rung

Convocation Dear Editor:

What exactly was Dean's Con­vocation Day? According to Assistant Vice President, Vincent Toscano, "This Fall Convocation provides our Marist Community with a rare opportunity to come together and consider an issue of global significance." To many of

the students attending this assembly at McCann, it was "mandatory" "attendance will be taken," "counts against hous­ing points next year if you're not there," and some even heard of a buffet. How can "the excellent program... be a very valuable and meaningful learning experience" if the students are manipulated in­to attending?

Yes, Human Rights is a very important topic. However, we think our human and student rights were violated when we were deceived in this way. According to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 20, Sec­tion 2, "No one may be compell­ed to belong to an association." Yet, we were forced to be members of this group meeting. We, by chance, heard something in our hall which a student was saying. "Don't ever believe another thing the R.A. tells you. For all we know it could be a lie." This may have been said jokingly, since our R.A. was around. But the message behind it is clear. We were deceived. As members of the Freshmen class, we feel that our first experience as part of the Marist Community was a disap­pointment. The deception - in­flicted on us is a poor example of the trust we should see in our community leaders.

In the future, we think students should be given a choice. Then, only those students who are ge­nuinely interested in the topic will be able to listen and learn without any distractions from annoyed or disinterested students.

Faculty to reconsider plan for ad major by Adrienne Ryan

After being rejected by the faculty Academic Affairs Com­mittee last year, the proposal for a bachelor of science degree in advertising at Marist is being revised and should be re­submitted by the end of this semester, according to Eugene Rebcook, associate professor of communication arts.

Citing "philosophical dif­ferences" as the cause for the re­jection of the proposal, Joseph Bettencourt, chairman of the three-member AAC, said they are now waiting for the re-submission of the proposal.

"We gave it back with sugges­tions, for change and are now waiting for them to re-submit," Bettencourt said. • The major problem concerning

the AAC is that the original pro­posal stressed too much hands-on experience and moved away from a theoretical, liberal arts background, according to An­drew Molloy, academic vice-president.

"There is a reluctancy to in­crease the number of hands-on majors with less liberal arts background," Molloy said.

The AAC did approve a minor in advertising at the end of last year, which has already gone into effect, according to Richard Piatt, chairman of the Division of Arts and Letters. All classes taken for the minor can be transferred to the major when it is approved, Piatt said.

Molloy, Piatt, and Rebcook said they are confident that an advertising major'will be approv­ed by next year.

"If everything runs smoothly, and a new proposal is submitted by the end of the semester, the major can begin by the fall of '84," Molloy said. "It takes six to eight months for the State Educa­tion Department to authorize a new major, so things must move on schedule," he said.

Molloy outlined the steps necessary for the approval of a major. First, a proposal by the division is drawn up and sent to the AAC for review. If approved, •the proposal goes before the faculty, first in an informal meeting and then a session where it is voted upon. If the outcome is favorable the proposal then moves to the board of trustees and is finally sent to the State Education Department for authorization. ,

Nurse: Let death be dignified by Denise DeVitis

Now that chemotherapy has done nothing but remove all of his hair, radiation has scarred his tissue and there are machines and tubes connected to his cancer-ridden body to keep him alive, he painfully cries out that he wants to see the Atlantic Ocean one more time.

According to Joy . Ufema, leader in the terminal care move­ment for ten years, the best thing that one can do for someone who is dying is to simply have the courage to ask them what they want.

It's okay to be afraid of death; however, we should not let our fears.paralyze us if we can help someone have a dignified death, said Ufema. "

Speaking to an audience of faculty, students, doctors and nurses Nov. 9 in the theatre, Joy Ufema addressed the subject of

death and dying. Ufema is the initiator of the

position of Staff Nurse Specialist in death and dying at Harrisburg Hospital in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania,' and has been featured in articles for the Washington Post, People Magazine and McCalls Magazine and has appeared on "60 Minutes" and "P.M. Magazine."

Her career with the Hospice Program began when she did work in the neurology section of the Harrisburg Hospital and was able to identify with the patients who were dying. Ufema said she realized that she did not want to die in an institution, isolated and in pain, and that "the patients must feel the same way.

Ufema said she began listening and sharing with the seriously ill, discovering that their lives are should-haves and wbuld-haves, but the bottom line is they have to die, we all have to die.

According to Ufema, if one leads a full, happy life then one will have a good death. However, there are those people who choose to curl up and die, and that is their choice, said Ufema.

It matters more how we die rather than that we die, said Ufema. This follows her idea that one has a good death if one leads a congruent life.

To be effective in relating to the terminally ill, said Ufema, you must be sensitive and intuitive. .

Ufema, a registered nurse and gynecologist, has taught death and dying courses at several col­leges and has been a guest lecturer and consultant to over 1,000 churches, hospitals, schools and state and professional organiza­tions. •-•'•'. \ •

The television film, "A Matter-of Life & Death," recounts Ufema's life story and she has just completed her first book, "Brief Companion."

Nursing program seeks approval from state by Veronica O'Shea

Is Marist College prepared for advancement in the field of medicine? Ask Dr. Barbara Hynes, director of the nursing program here at Marist, and she'll tell you all systems are "go" on the nursing major as soon as the New York State Regents gives final approval.

"We are waiting for approval on the proposal any time now, and as soon as we receive the go-ahead Marist will have a nursing program," said Hynes.

The program will go into effect in the fall of 1984. "Marist has been allocated a $116,000 Title III grant for the firs.t year which will provide 85 percent of the funding

. for the program. Other funding

will come out of tuition and other health care agencies in the area," she said.

Marist will receive federal fun­ding for a period of five years to provide for faculty and necessary medical equipment. However, ac­cording to Hynes, it will be a self-supporting program after those five years are over.

Hynes said: "The nursing cur­riculum was designed specifically for Marist. It will be a four-year program leading to a bachelor of science degree with a major in nursing. For the first two years students will build a foundation to work within the classroom. Then in their junior and senior years they will take this knowledge and apply it to outside, agencies."

ROOM RECONFIRMATION

ADVANCE ROOM DEPOSIT SPRING 1984

PERTINENT INFORMATION

All Resident Students are required to recon­firm their College Housing with a $75.00 non­refundable deposit.

The deposit and a completed Room Recon­firmation Card are due in the Business Of­fice prior to December 1,1983.

If you will not require College Housing for the Spring 1984 semester, fill out the Room Reconfirmation Card and return it to the Housing Office.

Non Resident students who are interested in securing College Housing for the Spring 1984 semester must fill out a Room Request Form in the Housing Office - Room 271 in the Campus Center.

After December 1, 1983 all unconfirmed rooms will be considered vacant.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Housing Office.

Marist will also offer nursing students the opportunity to work with the computer terminals to assist in their learning.

"The transfer from learning to application is very hard. For the first time we will have computer assisted learning which will enable us to use the computer for interac­tion. With the simulation of a situation on a computer, we will be able to get as close to the situa­tion as possible and learn to make decisions and mistakes to real situations," said Hynes.

According to Hynes there will be about 20 outside agencies cooperating in the program in­

cluding Vassar Hospital, St. Francis Hospital, Dutchess Health Dept. and other neighbor­ing clinics and health agencies.

"There has been a deep interest in favor of the program with nearly everyone we've spoken to hoping to be of assistance because of the growing need for nurses in the Dutchess County area," she said.

The expected enrollment for the 1984-85 school year should be about 30 students, with an in­crease each year as the program becomes more widespread.

Hynes is aware of the space crunch at Marist and says that the

program will not require a lot of room to start out with.

"We will only need one large room to work in and housing facilities may be provided for by outside clinical agencies. With the completion of the Lowell Thomas Communication Arts Center, there will be a lot of space free for us to utilize," she said.

According to Hynes, human service careers will be in great de­mand in the future.

"I believe such careers are very desireable to students. I can guarantee 100 percent employ­ment upon graduation with such a degree, in nearly any geographic location you desire," said Hynes.

Knights, Campus Ministry plan events The Knights of Columbus and

the Campus Ministry will be working together in the next few weeks in an effort to accomplish a number of activities.

A food drive, a Christmas Or­phans Day, a Christmas clothes drive and a Right-to-Life Week are the various functions that are in the: planning stages.

The first project that the two organizations are collaborating on.is a Thanksgiving food drive. Headed by sophomore Knight John Vispoli, the food drive will run through Friday. It will be

conducted in an effort to assist needy families in the Poughkeep­sie area. Members of the Knights will be covering each dorm to col­lect food for the cause. Money will also be collected to purchase turkeys for Poughkeepsie families.

The Christmas Orphans Day is tentatively set for Dec. 10. Patrick Patterson, Knight officer, is assisting in the success of this day.

Patterson said the orphans will be spending the day on campus where a number of activities have been planned for them.

A free lunch will be donated by Seller's Food Services, Campus Ministry will provide Christmas Carols and Santa will make an ap­pearance.

A collection will be held to buy sports equipment for the or­phanage. The Knights will pur­chase a Christmas tree for the children, according to Grand Knight Rich Frey.

Sister Eileen Halloran first sug­gested the idea of uniting the two religious organizations on campus in an effort to achieve better results to benefit everyone.

the students moved in," he said. Tracy Sterling, residence

director of the building, said that the students have been "very frustrated" over the situation because they can't make phone calls from their own building. As a result, she said, they have formed a negative attitude towards the administration. "They like to feel that there are

. answers," she said, "but they haven't been able to find any."

Sterling said that this is due to the students periodically asking when the phones will be in. "They're told, 'in a week.' A week comes and goes, and there's no phones. They feel they're being handed a line," she said.

According to Sterling, the phones should be installed by the end of the month.

Director of Housing Robert A. Heywood stressed that even though the New Residence Hall wil' have the capability to have pavate student phones, the students will not have them because it is against school policy. The only exception is the townhouses, Heywood said. "It was never our intention to let students have private phones," he said.

Club forming to horse around by Diane Gallagher

Come next fall, Marist students may be hearing and seeing an active new organization, the Marist College Equestrian Team.

Freshman Joyce Knox of Bayshore, N.Y., is in the process of putting a team together. Before the Equestrian Team can actually compete, it must get approval from the Student Government and the Student Activities Office.

Any new organization wishing to become a college activity must submit chartering materials to the Director of Student Activities. Copies of the by-laws and other forms will be submitted to Student Government for ap­proval.

From there, Student" Govern­ment will notify the Activities Office of approval or disapproval of chartering the organization.

The prospective team will act in accordance with the In­tercollegiate Horse Show Association, headed by Robert Cacchione, executive secretary.

The prospective team members have no horses of their own. The horses, as well as facilities such as an indoor riding ring, will be provided by Roseview Stables of Dutchess . Hil l Road , Poughkeepsie. Coaching will be provided by Audrey Struezari, also from Roseview Stables.

The members of the team, who average five years of experience

apiece, are assigned to their horses the day of the competition so as to give each rider a fair chance by preventing a rider from getting used to one specific horse.

The rider's true ability and flexibility of adjusting to a un­familiar horse, it is said, will be tested in this way. '" Competitive horse shows have already begun within . the In­tercollegiate Horse Show Association. After the fall season has ended, the team will not compete until the spring season.

The team will s t a r t lessons/practices on Tuesday, Nov. 15 at 6 p.m. and on Thursdays at 1 p.m. Those who

Marist's only score was 30-yard pass to Warren Weller from Jim Cleary early in the fourth quarter. Both Weller and Cleary were playing their last games for Marist.

Other seniors that played their final game Saturday were: Bob Cardinal, an offensive lineman and one of the team's captains; John O'Leary, also a captain, and a defensive back; Brian Sewing, a defensive lineman and a captain; Jim Creech, a defensive lineman; kicker Tom Huber; and receivers Randy Rosand, Chris Stempsey and Warren Weller.

"I haven't really started thinking about football being over for me," said Sewing after the game. "After 13 years of playing, it's a little hard to realize. Maybe in a few days..."

The Foxes had played Albany only once before, when they lost 48-0 last year. . '•''.: :

Asked how he trained for the race, Colaizzo said: "Basically, it was cross-country training up until two weeks before the marathon. Then I upped my weekly mileage close to 80 with one long run at the end of the week which was close to 20 miles. But the bulk of the training was

.. not keyed on the marathon. "If 1 had trained just for the

marathon, 1 probably would have done just as well. Most of the marathon is in the head and if I trained exclusively for the marathon I would have put pressure on myself and the result would be the same," he said.

Colaizzo was congratulated after the race by his teammates. "Peter ran better than he even probably expected," said Lurie.

Colaizzo was modest about the surprisingly good finish. "I think I ran a smart race, because I went out in 1:26 and I came back in 1:28. And because I didn't go out too fast, I didn't hit the 'wall,' but from 23 on, it was drudgery. But I didn't die and I'm happy I ran an even, smart race," he said.

As for what the future holds, Colaizzo is a bit reserved. "Right now, I'm not going to be doing anything for a couple of months. I'm going to talk to Coach Lurie and together, we'll work something out," he said.

Lurie said that Colaizzo will be better trained in the spring. "You should see him running in the 2:40's or even the high 2:30's, he said.

Colaizzo summed up his outlook on his running career. "While in college, 1 want to be running competitively on teams. I don't see myself being a con­sistent marathoner while I'm in college," he said. "After college I may be a marathoner, and if I am I want to be competitive."

-on-one m My alter ego dropped by the

Circle office the other day. He'd been reading a lot about Marist's football team, he said, and he thought I'd be able to answer some of his questions about it.

"1 read they've suffered through another disappointing season," he said. "What's the story?" . - . • .

"Is this the Circle you've been reading?" I asked. Isort of hoped my own alter ego would read the Circle, or at least my column.

"Among other things," he said. "They won three games this year, didn't they? That's more than they've done in years. Isn't that an improvement?"

"Sure it is. If they keep getting one game better every four years, they'll have a winning record by 1989. I was hoping to have

graduated by then, but it's something to look forward to."

"Now wait a minute, that's not fair," he said, sticking up for the Foxes. "They were a little better than the 3-6 record — you said yourself they could have won the RPIgame."

"They should have won the. RPI game," I conceded. "But what about homecoming? What about St. John's, or Coast Guard, or Ramapo, or Albany State? They scored 14 points in all five games combined, and let up 138. That's not even three points a game of offense." • "OK,. OK, so they're still getting beaten."

"Badly, at times." "You're awfully quick to

criticize, you know. The players don't go out and try to lose," he said. "They do their best to win,

so who are you to stand on the sidelines and complain?"

"Nobody," I said, backing away. "Are you always this" hostile? I don't remember you being this way."

"The subconscious is a nasty business. And I'm riot through with you yet. As long as you have all the answers here, tell me why the team isn't better."

"I never said I had all the answers. You're misquoting me."

"I've heard that one before. Besides, it's in my notes. Last week you said you had all the answers," he insisted.

"I was talking about one of my midterms."

"You're avoiding the question. What about the football team? I read where some say they should get full-time coaches."

"It couldn't hurt," I said. "They could use some All-America players too."

"Don't get sarcastic. The question is, can they win with the program they've got? I saw an article the other day about a Division Three school with less football money than Marist that always has winning seasons."

"Coincidentally, 1 read the same article," I said. "Did you notice that the coach had a full-time position? He said the key to winning wasn't cash, but time — time to study films, draw up plays, order pizza and do whatever else coaches do at those late-night strategy sessions."

"So if they gets full-time coaching we'll see winning seasons?"

"I didn't say that. I'm not even

sure Marist needs winning seasons. Every team wants a winning season every year, and it's mathematically impossible for all of them to get what they want."

"You mean you don't care if the team wins or not?"

"These are trick questions," I said. "Sure, given a choice, I'd rather see Marist win than lose. But what I'd really like is to go to every game and know the team isn't going to be embarrassed."

"You ought to do a story on all this for the Circle. At the rate you get things done, it might be ready for the next issue on Dec. 8 if you, start right away," he said.

"That's a cheap shot. Don't you have other things to do?"

"Actually yes. I should be running along."

"That's too bad," I lied.

Marist women's b-ball awaits new season by Heinz Warmhbld

With the loss of five seniors and the appointment of a new

. head coach, there will be many new faces on the Marist College Women's Basketball team this year as preparations begin to open the season against national powerhouse Syracuse University on Nov. 26 at a Dartmouth tournament.

Pat Torza, 32, from Wood­bury, Conn., is the new head coach. She will be looking to freshmen recruits Jennifer Gray from Dublin, Ireland, Tobither Clarkson from New Rochelle and Sue Blazejewski from Albany, N.Y., to help make up for the loss of the seniors.

Coming off a 14-14 season last year, Torza set a modest goal of "bettering last season's record." However, some of the returning players have more lofty ambitions for the year. r

"We're capable of winning the conference," said Ursula Winter, 20, from Fort Lee, N.J.

The key to a winning year, according to Torza, is that the

lack of experience will have to be made up by intensity.

"Her intensity rubs off on us," said Joyce Iacullo, a senior from Bellyille. N.Y., about her new coach. "She has added a com­pletely new spirit with more discipline," added Winter.

"Strength under the boards and a more team orientated spirit are what will help the team win more this year," said Una Geoghegan, a sophomore from Dublin, Ireland.

Another thing the team will need to win will be more point production. In this department the team looks to high-scoring junior, Lynne Griffin to play an important role.

The women play a tough schedule and will have to beat conference rivals such as Siena and Monmouth Colleges if they are to win the Cosmopolitan Conference, and go on to post­season play.

To reach this goal the. women would like help. "We'd like to see more fans at the games," said-Geoghegan.

Red Fox skaters frozen out of first two matchups by Robert LaForfy

The Marist College Hockey club started its season off this past week on thin ice losing their first two games. , "We feel frustrated," said

sophomore Tim Graham, right wing for the Foxes. "We just can't put three good periods together," he said. "It's very confusing."

The Red Foxes managed to let go of a 4-1 lead on Saturday against The University of Bridgeport, Conn. After two periods of play the Red Foxes were ahead with two goals by Graham and two by Jim Mc­Donald, a senior center from Troy, N.Y. The third period brought four unanswered. goals by U.B., and ah empty net goal with ten seconds to go ended the game 6-4.

"We're not working together as a team yet," said junior co-captain Rob Trabulsi. "It 's going to take a few games before we can work together as a team, right

now we're kind of all working for ourselves."

Last Wednesday the Foxes ended the second period with a 4 to 2 lead against the U.S. Mer­chant Marine Academy only to give up three unanswered goals which made the score 5-4. A Marist goal scored by Trabulsi was d isa l lowed because sophomore John Dearden was in the crease.

According to senior forward Al Pette "When they didn't count that goal we got down on our­selves and we couldn't come back ."

The final score was U.S.M.M.A.7, Marist 5.

Graham put it best. "You want to look at someone to blame but you can't pick out one person — it's a team effort. — You win as a team and you lose as a team," he said.

The Red Foxes will be playing away Saturday against Fordham University and will be back home on Nov. 30 against Patterson.

After 13 years of football, Brian Sewing reaches the end

by Marci Medoro

The crisp 37-degree breeze blows through the chilly Marist football fans as they watch the scoreboard change from 41-0 to 41-7. The end result is Marist 7, Albany State 48 marking the last time senior co-captain Brian Sewing will wear the Marist Football jersey.

According to Sewing, this year's team is the most talented he has played with during his four years at Marist.

"We have all the talent in the world but for some reason we just don't seem to win ^on Saturday. We have a young but good offense and I can't pick out a weak point in our defense," he said.

During his' four years at Marist, Sewing said he has seen a great improvement in the coaching staff. "All the coaches know their football, so I can listen to them and know they know what they're talking about," he said.

Sewing's father started him playing football when he was a young boy. "My father asked me if I wanted to play football and I said 'I don't care; so it wasn't like I totally wanted to play football," he said. He just got me into it and I can't thank him enough. I can never pay him back."

His father attends all the Marist football games, both home and away. "The way I thank him for doing all he's done for me is by playing as hard as I can in every game. I do as well as" I can for my team­mates but my motivation is

knowing my father's watching on the sidelines," said Sewing.

He said the Marist team is not one that'needs much discipline. "At the start of the season we had a meeting," he said. "I asked all the coaches to leave and told the guys that the party's over — it's time to play football and win."

According to Sewing, football has always been an important part of his life. After graduating and establishing a career, Sewing said he hopes to coach a football team. "I want to stay involved with football because for 13 years there was always next season. Now, there's no more next season for me.

"I'd like to go out leaving people feeling that 'Sewing was a good player'."

me from the stands," he said. He's been playing football all

his life, including four years in high school at Our Lady of Lourdes, Poughkeepsie, and one year at Springfield College, Springfield, Mass., before tranferring to Marist.

"Football is what I do best," said Sewing. Last season he gained Eastern Collegiate Athlete Conference All-League Honors in football.

When asked if he gains respect from his teammates for being chosen captain for the second year in a row, Sewing said he earns their respect by being a good player on the field.

"As a captain I try to be more like a coach. I explain by setting examples. I don't try to be a captain, I just try to be myself."

Harriers finish year at Bethlehem by JoeDidziulis

On yet another bitterly cold weekend in November, the Marist cross-country team found itself coming up very short while at the same time, two Petes led the way but in completely different places.

At the Cross-Country cham­pionships in Bethlehem, Pa., the Red Fox harriers did rather poorly, but just how poorly may not be known for a while because of a snafu in the scoring system.

According to Marist Coach Steve Lurie, a multiple chute system was used to determine the finishing order of the runners and this led to some confusion over what place each runner finished. Said Lurie: "Peter Pazik was

handed a card number 187 but he finished more like 120."

A videotape of the finish will be replayed to determine the finishing order and team scores.

Notwithstanding the team's place in the championships, Lurie felt everyone did about as ex­pected. "I didn't expect anyone to finish in the top 200. And except for Pete, they didn't. Pete has completed step one in a three step program in which by the time he is a senior, he should be in the individual championships. He is a good Division One runner."

The other Pete that led the way was Peter Colaizzo, who ran in his first marathon and finished an astounding 78th in a field of 3,500. He covered the 26-mile,

385-yard course at the Jersey Shore in a much more than respectable two hours and 54 minutes.

Colaizzo, who ran the first half of the marathon with teammate Don Godwin, found the lack of a definite coach for the Cross­country team over the summer provided him with the motivation for the marathon. "The original thing was that we weren't going to have a coach and of course I was disappointed," he said. "I needed a goal and that turned out to be marathoning. On top of that, I don't have much leg speed and 1 haven't been successful in shorter races as the five-mile cross­country races."

The uniforms will be stored away until the start of the 1984 fall season as all hopes for play in a post-season tournament ended this week for the Marist College soccer team. .

The Eastern College Athletic Conference tournament was the only chance for Marist, but the two teams that qualified from the Metro Conference were St. Francis and Loyola, Colleges, leaving the Foxes on the sidelines after an up and down season.

The team finished the season on a positive note: six wins and a tie. Because of a poor start (1-5-1) though, the undefeated surge left-Marist at 9-8-2 for the year. They finished fourth in the Tri-State Conference, and will undoubtedly be-ranked among the Top 10 Division One-soccer teams in New York State when those rankings are announced. •

The last home game typified the Foxes' season. With 31 minutes gone in the first half, Marist trailed Iona College 2-0 as Tom McElderry scored both goals

for the Gaels. / " W e '"".•: weren't ; mentally

prepared," said Head Coach Dr. Howard Goldman. "We weren't concentrating—maybe because we didn't take them seriously, but obviously, they took us seriously." - '•;:-

Whatever.Goldman said to his players at halftime worked. Just 18 minutes into the second half, Marist had scored three unan­swered goals for a one goal lead.

Joe Vasile-Cozzo, a senior, scored the first goal for the Foxes on a penalty kick as the team captain netted his second of the •year.

Freshman Jim McKenna then put the Foxes in front for good by scoring the next two goals. Off a crossing pass from midfielder Peter Nargi, McKenna tied the

: score at two by beating the Iona goalie to the right side of the net with 29:25 left to play.

It was McKenna again 57 seconds later as he headed the ball off a pass from sophomore Mike Terwilliger to give the Foxes a one goal lead.

The Foxes secured their come-

a fury from-behind victory when freshman Bob Murray, with an assist from McKenna, netted his first of the year'with 10:43 left in the game. The play of freshmen Murray, McKenna and leading team scorer Steve Thompson gives Goldman something to look forward to next year. - "It give me a good feeling,"

said Goldman. They move well and play very well together."

Champagne bottles popped at the end of the game for the departures of two senior captains — Paul Sutherland and Vasile-Cozzo as both played their final game at Marist.

"I'd love for us to play some of the earlier teams again," said Goldman. "I think the results would be somewhat different now."

Marist traveled to St. John's University to finish off a rain-delayed game from Oct. 23 That Marist trailed 3-0 with 31 minutes left at its suspension. The two hour trip was wasted as the score . remained unchanged and the Foxes dropped their "last game" of the year.

Swimmers eye title after first-meet setback by John Bakke and Heinz Warmhold

Coming off a strong season last year, swimming coach Larry Van Wagner is looking toward his men's team contending again for the Metropolitan Swimming Conference title, j-;;

The campaign got off to a slow start as the men lost to Montclair-State 64-49 in a dual meet last Saturday. Pete Asselin led the team with victories in the 50 and 100-yard freestyle events.

That same meet saw the women's team lose 80-33 despite Mary Marino's winning per­formances in the 500 and 1000-

yard freestyle events. The women also won the 400-yard relay.

Meanwhile, Dave Luber ex­tended Marist's streak of dual-meet diving wins to 32. Luber won the five . required dives grouping with a 178.24 score and took the six optional dives with 265.74 points. - :

The men's loss wasn't the best start a season could have, but it's a long season and the-team still expects a strong year. -.'-. ';-"-'•. < . "I believe we will finish in the

top two," said Van Wagner, adding that the team's main competition vwill come from Maritime College. The team competes in the conference's B

division. "We may be one or two

swimmers short of winning the B division championships," said Van Wagner. "But we should be stronger than last year. We have more quantity arid quality."

The team, which has no swirnmers on scholarships, won five'pf nine dual meets last year, breaking 16 of 18 school records in the progress. It was a season climaxed by a third-place finish in the conference's B division championships. -.

Marist is a Division One team, but it doesn't swim against

-Division One competition in the Metro Conference. However, it is

also a member of the Eastern College Athletic Conference Eastern Seaboard Section, and will face some Division One diving competition there. • Eight more dual meets are on

this year's schedule, capped by the metropolitan championships to be held at Marist in February.

The team lost three of last year's swimmers to graduation, but have recruited heavily for this year. "I recruited 10 freshmen," said Van Wagner. "Nine came and eight are still with the team. Another three joined as walk-ons."

With only four of 17 swimmers above the sophomore class level,

it's a young team. Peter Asselin, a sophomore, is expected to be one of the strongest swimmers.

Other swimmers Van Wagner said he expects to lead the team are sophomore Paul Raynis and freshmen Chris Chludzinski, Fabrice; Cuadrado, Kevin Keyes and Fred Dever. "The freshmen are. the fastest swimmers we've ever recruited at Marist," said Van Wagner.

Another standout is Joe Karney, a junior transfer from the University of Missouri. Karney will be ineligible to compete this year, but will be swimming - unofficially at the meets.

Foxes fail in finale, finish without fourth An old sports maxim says that

it's never over until it's over. Last Saturday, it was over . before halftime. .

Albany State pounded the Red Foxes 48-7 before a crowd of 876 at Leonidoff in Marist's last football game of the 1983 season.

- Marist finished at 3-6 while Albany, also playing its final game of the year, raised it record to3-7.••, : ; : ->-v; : . : , ; .

Albany's Great Danes led with 41 unchallenged points at half-time, the product of 1-, 10- and 3-yard touchdown runs and three scoring passes by Albany quarterback Mike Milano..

; Though Marist and Albany end their seasons with similar records, the numbers are deceiving. The Danes have played higher grade opponents than has Marist all season long — the tearns had no common opponents in 1983.

Fox Head Coach Mike Malet agreed that Albany's record was

misleading. "Two and seven or not, Albany State is a great football team," he said.

Milano completed 10 of 12 first-half passes for 180 yards and the three touchdown passes of 6, 27 and 35 yards. He was replaced in the second half by Rick Jones, who was three of five for 30 yards as the Danes switched to a time-consuming, second-half ground game.- ' - ; . "

Neither Albany quarterback was intercepted, but Marist quarterbacks-threw into opposite hands three times.

Malet pointed to three early turnovers as hurting Marist. "The first two times we held them," he said, '-but the. third time they, went in." -

Linebacker Sean Keenan also talked about the turnovers. "You can't turn it over that many times and win," he said. "We've been doing that all season, and it keeps
