Big cuts maybe Meaa for fiiiandai aid by Susan Brunner

•' Although the federal budget, for fiscal year'1986 is'not due for, .Congressional < approval ' until, January, rumors on Capitol Hill are, reporting cuts in federal

.financial aid programs of up to 40 percent, according to Kathy Ozer, Legislative Director of the National Student Educational Fund in Washington, D.C.

A substantial number of college students across the U.S. would be

affected by- such a cut, not ex-' , eluding students at Marist."

According - to., Director.. of.. Financial "Aid at Marist-Karen

-Atkin, 80-85 percent of students'! at the college receive some type of assistance to coyer the $5,360 cost of tuition for a single academic year. Room and board costs are an additional $3,200.

A large percentage of Marist 'students receive rnoney from programs such as Guaranteed Student Loans, Pell Grants,

Program, - Regents Scholarship \ and the Higher1 Education Op­portunity Program are all financed by New York State, for state residents. , Reports last week indicated that the budget cuts were a means of cutting the federal deficit in

half — to $100 billion by 1988. However, the federal Office of Management and Budget has projected steady increases,in the deficit through 1988. The office has also-projected an estimated deficit for this fiscal year to be at least $200 billion.

After his re-election last month, President Reagan an­nounced that a drastic reduction in the federal deficit was one.of his immediate goals of his next term.

'. In a public announcement last-week,- U.S. Budget -• Director-David Stockman said that 20 to,

Ozer said that "education has been slated to be cut since 1981. Congress, which^ must approve the budget before it may be enacted, has rejected cuts in education repeatedly since 1981.

The problem of a having a single person serve simultaneous­ly as a college administrator and as campus chaplain — a subject of recent controversy at Marist — was raised officially, in a 1981 self-study of Campus-Ministry. ; The document, which was sent anonymously to The Circle, is part of a self-study report Marist put together in preparation for the college's 1981 examination by a team from-the Middle States Association of Colleges and Universities, an accrediting group.

The report recommends that a campus chaplain not be permitted to hold a full-time administrative position.

ed. 'Robert Heywood, director of

housing, said that he first learned of the telephone misuse in early November when a New Jersey lawyer, representing the company involved, called to notify Marist of the problem.

Heywood added that he im­mediately referred him to Marist's lawyer, Paul Sullivan. Sullivan.'was not available for comment. ' • -*

Pakozdi said that she did not

know the breakdown of calls made from each floor in Leo. However, she thought that the company had been able to track down specific people because the numbers they called were linked to their names.

Heywood stated that there is a. possibility that "students could

President ' Dennis Murray is scheduled to meet with a group of students before the end of the semester to discuss the issue.

The 198J report states: "Cam­pus Ministry personnel, who.at the same.time hold positions of administrative responsibility, can easily compromise, and are very often perceived as compromising, the autonomy and integrity of Campus Ministry goals and pro­grams."

And it!s all part of a growing interest at Marist in the fantasy role=playing game called Dungeons and Dragons.

This-game offers players a chance to get away from the pro­blems- of everyday life and to

."relax,- said Daniel Hutto, presi­dent of the Marist Red Dragons', a club for those interested in "play­ing D & D. "Youcan become a hero and defeat evil while exercis­ing your imagination to the fullest," said Hutto.

Dungeons and Dragons is a

fantasy role-playing game for four to eight players. The

-dungeon master (DM) sets up a - world based on - medieval technology and society. The DM creates the universe, the political system,' cities, towns and the creatures that populate the land where the fantasy will take place. ' Each , player prepares a character and takes'it intoTthe en­vironment which the DM has set up. The DM states the specific goals for an adventure and the players carry it through during the course of play.

The game is governed by rolls of specially designed, dice, which determine what happens to each character. A character proceeds

The Red Fox in action.

. Editor's Note: The following story was submitted by the Marist mascot, the Red Fox, who is a Marist junior in his other life.

by The Red Fox

I used to think the San Diego Chicken was a jerk. I .couldn't figure out how anyone could be crazy enough to dress up in an animal suit arid run around like a fool during sporting events. - ^ " So here I am in my sixth year as"

.the Marist College Red Fox. Six years. of • Hard sweat in the equivalent of a heavy fur coat in all kinds of heat. It's been quite an experience the past few years. How many other 20-year-olds can say they've spent more than a quarter of their lives doubling as a fuzzy animal?

Looking back, I have few regrets.- The man probably most

.responsible for my tenure as the Fox is former Athletic Director and head basketball Coach Ron Petro. And if this paper ever makes it to Alaska, I'd like to say

Thanks with a capital T for the great experience, coach. ,

Somehow, my suggestion that Marist create a mascot back in 1979 got back to Petro, and he relayed the message back to me that the job was mine. I was a mere sophomore in high school back then, so the idea of being chosen mascot of a Division I basketball team was rather mind-boggling. I'll never forget the night of my first game. I just sat in the living room chair with all the lights out and tried to chase away all the butterflies that were

. throwing a party in the pit of my stomach. Believe me, it was an all-night bash for those but­terflies. '

I've been through it all in six years. I've seen players, coaches and many others come and go, In fact, with the exception of the radio broadcaster for the team, Robert Norman (who's also the Internship Director at Marist), I'm the only person left this year who travelled with the team back

in '79. I came in when Steve Smith was a freshman.

There have been so many exciting moments in the past six seasons that I can't possibly squeeze them all into one article. I'd have to write a book. Cer­tainly one of the most grueling games for me was the double overtime loss to Mercy College back in.the 1980-81 season. The game was played at the McCann Center, and I vividly remember our center, Moose Timberlake, hitting a top-of-the-key bank shot as the buzzer went off in regulation to send it intoOT. By the end of the second overtime, we had lost by three points, and I was one tired fox.

The 1981-82 season was memorable in that it was the first NCAA Division 1 season ever for Marist basketball. We made a name for ourselves that year by having two 20-plus scorers in Steve Smith and Dary] Powell. Smitty was an All-American that

The college environment is perfect for D & D, said Hutto, who spends approximately 12-14 hours a week role-playing. "There's enough interest to grab a few people any day and play.

"A player has feelings of im­portance that you can't get in a classroom," said Hutto. "There are hundreds of challenges that you have to meet or your character could be done away with by demons or monsters," he added.

! The game takes a lot of mental effort and is very exhausting, said Rex Patterson, freshmen mentor arid technical advisor for the Red Dragons. "When you play you want to put it away, for a while," hesaid. /

The campaign, or game, in­volves an on-going commitment between players. The campaign^ can last for weeks or even mon­ths. "You end the campaign when you've achieved the goals that were set at the beginning," Hutto

. said. "None of the campaigns I've been involved in have ended yet," he added.

Dungeons and Dragons was conceived by a group in the midwest about ten years ago. The . group's background in European mythology and history helped br­ing to life a set of skeletal rules for D & D. The group published a set of pamphlets .available through mail-order only. The hobby picked up about five years ago and the demand for the pro­duct began, a wave of commer­cialism.

Hutto said that he feels the commercialism is destroying the concept of the game, but that if-will eventually fade. "D & D has built,up itsown little fandom and most'will leave once, the' novelty" wears "off." Only, those genuinely, interested*will stick: with-it,"-*-hev said. -

Dungeons and Dragons is just one direction some people go to channel their energy, said Psychology Professor Dr. Linda Dunlap. "There's an intellectual interest in it because it holds the potential for us to discover something beyond _the realm we are now aware of," said Dunlap.

•Dunlap also said that this form of science fiction is entirely associated with fantasy . "People evolve their'own reality; it only

. becomes a problem when they forget the fiction,',' added Dunlap. " • ' " ."

Paul Campbell, a junior from Port Crane, N.Y., said that he en­joys role-playing because it's not the same experience every time. „

Campbell participates in two campaigns each week and is the DM for one of them. "A player has to have the freedom to ex­press ideas," he said. "Not only are you - escaping, but you're escaping to a world where .you're totally different from yourself."

Some words of wisdom by Dorrie Gagas

To love, honor and cherish, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer. But are you sure it will be for better or for worse? - >•

Life's greatest gamble — mar­riage. There are many risks in this game, but there are also ways to avoid them.

The-danger in young people getting married is that they may not be ready to cope with serious problems, according to Father Steven Sarigianis of Kimisis Greek Orthodox Church. - "Young people who are con­sidering marriage should keep in mind that' it is serious. It is something which should never be unbroken," said Sarigianis.

-Sarigianis said that reasons for the high divorce rate among young people "are that couples don't know how to confront pro­blems together, they wait too long before seeking guidance and that there is a lack of total commit­ment to each other.

-Speaking for most churches, Sarigianis said that churches frown upon mental.cruelty as a reason for divorce. Civil divorces are too easy to get, creating a con­flict between church and state, ex­plained Sarigianis.

"So, the couple just gets divorced instead of seeking guidance from the church," said Sarigianis. He added that he is ap­

palled by the divorce rate. -' - Ingredients for a good marriage

include "love, understanding,' communication - and sincerity," said Sarigianis. * '

Laurence Sullivan, assistant professor of religious studies, has been teaching, "Marriage and family," at Marist for seventeen years. "At least at-Marist there's an effort to focus in on this issue. Many colleges focus on teaching students how to make a living rather than how to live," he said.

Sullivan said that he feels a big misconception about marriage is that it is viewed as a fifty-fifty deal. Instead, he said, people" should be giving 100 percent of themselves toward the relation­ship.

According to Sullivan,' people make the mistake that marriage will give them an : identity. "Human beings are searching for an identity and they wrongly see marriage as a way to become an identity, they are now someone's wife/husband," Sullivansaid.

Another problem is that people see marriage as an escape from their present family life, said Sullivan. If someone is thinking about marriage, he/she should try to improve the present family problems, hesaid. "For example, if a person is not loving to his brother, marriage won't change him into a loving person."

A very strong infatuation is not

A television career now gives way to life as a freshman

• by John Bakke • "• • - - - , , * • • : - ' • , : > - • ' • _ • ' - . ; , / ,

" ' Quiz: How many students at Marist' would like to star in their own television series? How many gave up their shows to come to Marist? ^ ^Answers: Plenty, (probably). And one — David Schifter,' 19, from 'New York City. He produced and was the host of "Spotlight on Teens," a weekly,

, half-hour program transmitted by Manhattan Cable's channel C un t i l Schif ter left - for Poughkeepsie in September. -

This story of adolescent achievement begins about four and a half years ago. Schifter, then 14 — and having already volunteered some time-working on the cable company's "Crank Call Show" (later disconnected) — got an idea for "a; program designed for teen-agers. - .-

"I went to them and said,'Hey, what do you think of it'? and they liked it and said go ahead," says Schifter. "I thought they'd like the idea, but I was surprised to realize that 'God, I'm going to get to do this." I'm going to have to produce it; direct- it, edit the tapes, find the material, write the scripts and get it done every week.'" ~" - -.-"

That's just .what he did, starting - with the - premiere on March 14, 1980. and continuing every Friday evening — at first only on channel C, but later on Long Island's Group W and numerous cable systems in New Jersey as well. A live broadcast using videotaped segments,. "Spotlight on Teens" featured celebrity interviews, man-on-the-street. and viewer phone-in segments, topics of special in­terests and, as Schifter puts it, "anything we could think of."

. Clearly, keeping the series going was a large responsibility, more than enough for one person. Each show, needed a director, a technical director, a video playback technician, one or two cameramen and someone to handle the cue cards.

To build a staff, Schifter began

. -recruiting. "I started .with friends - at' school,' but pretty soon, we' - began getting letters from people

who wanted to work with us," he says. "We'd invite them down to watch for a couple of weeks, then give them a shot. There were

_ never too many adults involved — I was the youngest."

Also the busiest. "I was-a freshman in high school, and my mother was worried that the show would take all of my time, which it did. In fact, I put it ahead of my school work, which explains why the show was better than my school work."

"Spotlight" was a reflection of its creator's serious and ambitious nature. Among- the- people Schifter interviewed are Bill Beutel, a news anchorman with WABC-TV; radio announcers Ross and Wilson, then of WABC radio, and Marc Copolla from WPLJ; actors Dennis Parker of "The Edge of Night," Glenn Scarpelli, then of "One Day at a Time," - Laurie Hendler from "Gimme a' Break,", and; Esai Morales, who played a lead role in the movie "Bad Boys." •:

Another anchorman was Chuck Scarborough of WNBC-TV, and that show, says Schifter, was the most satisfying of all. '.'I always looked up to him. I watched him every night — 'News Four' at 8 and 11 — and used to say 'God, this is what I want to.be.' My excuse to meet him was to get him on the show, and he agreed to come on. That was the best part of the whole experience." -

There also were_ occasional special shows. "We had two

. public service lawyers on once, talking about the rights, of teen­agers — what to do if you get into trouble," he says. "Another featured a lady from a health organization called Choices. She talked about abortion and contraception and then we took some pretty dramatic phone calls. One young woman called in, crying, saying 'My boyfriend got me pregnant,' and "What should I do?'That wasa good show."

He talks confidently about his

a good basis for a marriage, ac­cording to y Dr. John Scileppi, associate professor of psychology at Marist. Often, infatuation is misleading because during that time, the body actually secretes the chemical, endophine, which actually makes us happy, explain­ed Scileppi. • Marriage will not necessarily change a person, said Scileppi. "If a person runs around before he is married, he won't settle down when he is married," Scileppi said.

Scileppi said couples should keep in mind that'ehanges will oc­cur in "their lives. He said that after five or ten years of mar­riage, one partner might want to make a change in his/her life, such as going back to school. The other partner may find this shock­ing and will have to get used to the change, Scileppi said.

Couples should also be aware that marriage won't solve pro­blems, said Scileppi. "Marriage should be used for a want or desire, rather than a need," he said. \

"Conflict is inevitable. It is im­poss ib le not to - have disagreements," according to Scileppi. He suggested the book, "Techniques of Fair Fighting," by Bach and Wyeden may help. This book actually teaches the couple how to fight, he said.

Statistically, the younger the

couple, the more chance for divorce, said Scileppi. "Of course there's a limit. One shouldn't wait for perfection," he added.

Rev. A. Francis Burns of Holy Trinity Church in Poughkeepsie, has performed about 700 wed­dings in the area. "Couples may view the wedding asihe wedding day, the prayers, the hymns, the walk down the aisle, the recep­tion. The actual wedding is only about ten seconds long," said Burns."

. Burns said he finds it difficult to make.the couple understand that those ten seconds are a vow. "As you take that vow, you are making a commitment," he said. He said that in the Catholic chur­ch, the priest only serves as a witness to the vow and he takes that vow literally.

"Love. Nobody knows exactly what love is. It's not a chemical, so there's ho easy answer," said Burns. Engaged Encounter, a follow up of Marriage En­counter, is a good organization because it makes the couple ex­press feelings, according to Burns.

The major shift in marriage is that it is no longer a. contract, ac­cording to Rev. Richard LaMorte, campus chaplain. A contract is only made at a specific

/time, instead marriage should be looked upon as a relationship, he said.

LaMorte said he feels this change is refreshing. The critical difference is that it is no longer a. legal framework, he said. "Peo­ple thinking about getting mar­ried should keep in mind that a" wedding is not something that just happened, it is an" ongoing commitment," LaMorte said.

Relationships during college are difficult because of social pressure and the college environ­ment can actually hinder, couples' growth, said LaMorte.

LaMorte said a problem during engagements is that people are too afraid to call it off. "Why is it called engagement then?" he said; A couples' ability to open up themselves to each other is critical, he said.

Some couples make the mistake that after they're married, they have to do everything together, said LaMorte. "You'll get sick of each other. A reason why you were attracted to each other in the first place was because of the ex­periences you offered each other," he explained.

"People should ask: Am I will­ing to commit myself to an unknown? To a changing person? A danger is that people think they are marrying for now, to the per­son who is in front of them, rather than a changing person," LaMorte said. "That's the

/challenge."

series, and with good reason. "Spotlight on Teens," with its

"limited resources, could be only as good as he. But Schifter, who

. was on camera for most of the weekly 28 minutes, is good. Years of experience helped him develop a professional demeanor, a smooth delivery worthy of many. a network correspondent, though it's not likely the networks would devote as much scrutiny to such subjects as "Who pays for the date —him or her?"

But he began, like most, as a beginner. Schifter relates his memory of that first telecast in 1980, when his worst fears were realized and neither the machines to play the videotaped, segments nor the studio telephones would work properly. "When I was done, I thought it was a catastrophe," he says, "but people said 'You really did a good job.' After I got home and played it back, I thought it was hysterical."

While equipment problems were largely overcome, some awkward moments continued, such as the time Schifter went on the air and didn't realize i t "I was talking to the cameraman about girls and things in general, waiting for my cue to start Finally, I looked up and saw

David Schifter

everyone in the control booth yelling and noticed from the monitor that I was already on. That's one I haven't heard the last of." i

As a boy, Schifter has said, he always wanted to run things. He put that entrepreneurial spirit to work at the age of 12 by starting his own mobile food business — operating out of a shopping cart

.— in New York's Carl Schurz Park. He saved a couple thousand dollars from that and bought video equipment. It was not a surprising purchase for a boy whose goals, after early aspirations toward the police force, were always somewhere in the television industry.

His current aspiration is to an anchorman's spot- (like Scar­borough's), but already his success has brought its rewards. Celebrity, for one. "People still remember me, still recognize me sometimes when I'm on the street," he says. "And that's great, I love that."

Recognition comes in other forms. Schifter was one of four "Baby Yuppies" featured this October in New York magazine as part of an article about young men running successful businesses.

Just experience is of course

valuable — it helped him get an interview for a job at Cable News Network two years ago, an in­terview quickly ended when he revealed his age: 16. His record also led to an internship and subsequent temporary job at Eyewitness News on WABC-TV, working on the special reports. (The position included such questionable honors as con­ducting a pre-show interview with Menudo.)

Another reward, not sur­prisingly, is money, though Schifter insists that experience is the show's most valuable remuneration. He is evasive on the topic: "Sure, there's some money. It's not a fortune, but I'm happy with it, considering my present level."

He is not the type to rest on his record. Though the series does not now run regularly, he is planning special Christmas and New Year's programs for the end of this month.

The image of a young television mini-mogul, off to make a pair of holiday specials, is almost enough to make one forget that Schifter has some important obstacles to overcome before those programs. are produced. In a couple weeks, he has to take his very first college final exams.

Core substance If the faculty votes tomorrow to accept

the revised Core proposal, the college will finally end the confusion about Marist's position on general education by making a firm commitment to the liberal-arts. Marist will assert itself as an educational in­stitution that values the humanities and will once, again - become a , college . where philosophy,'.rellgjon, <hij&o.ry,-_maLthe_matjcs, , arts'and science really matter. ,-.»•" !•'". ~-*V- •

<The-revlsed-proposal requires all students "to"-c"ompl§te"-48'to'51''credlttf o f liberal ar ts"

studies (an increase from the 21 - to 27 credits required in the current Core), not in­cluding their major field requirements. This increased emphasis on the humanities does not, however, mean that the college values any less the more technical fields. Instead, it combines education for a general purpose with education for a job opportunity.

If accepted, the new Core will directly ad­dress,some of the concerns raised recently -by the National, Endowment for the Humanities that American colleges and universities are not fulfilling their role as

educational leaders but are merely training students to get jobs.

. Qespite its answering some widely felt educational concerns, however, the new Core is not designed to cause, a nation-wide stir. It is designed to give students more tools to use in a larger world: to give technically oriented people broader oppor­tunities for education and^to produce well-rounded ind!vJduals_.who are; better, able Jo cope -and -compete In .graduate- schools and/or the job market.

The new Core is a tremendous improve­ment over the current system, and faculty .members would do the college an injustice by turning the proposal down.

Right now, many people-students and faculty alike-are unsure of Marist's goals in education. Accepting the proposal will mean overhauling the course system, and, in doing so, the college will strongly define its goals. If Marist is to assert itself as a liberal arts college, the faculty must vote in favor of the Core proposal.

Biased referees, you say? Wrong. Toilet paper. Yes, the eighth wonder of the world. It is

bathroom tissue that causes all of the above. , ' v

And how can such a useful aspect of our society cause so much controversy? It doesn't seem possible, considering its very limited and specific function.

Well, I'm afraid to say that many of you reading this could be the real source of this controversy. Yeah, all you guys with the strong arms who can put a roll of that stuff 65 yards in the air. It's getting out of hand. It's getting dangerous.

Last week's Villanova game was a prime example. After the traditional heave follow-'

ing Marist's first hoop, the crowd was plead­ed with and warned not to throw any further debris onto the court. And did the crowd listen? Not really. - One roll nearly hit the visitors' head coach, and m&m's repeatedly used the play­ing surface as a landing pad. Also, whistles were blown from the stands, once even causing the cool "E-Z" Ed Pinckney to lose-his composure. This is simply not necessary. In fact, it was the one blemish on an otherwise sparkling event. ' The toilet toss should not be taken away

from.the fans (although'streamers might be a better idea). It is one way the spectators can show their enthusiasm and spirit, and that is accepted. But the extra-curriculur stuff, that has to go.;There is a difference between enthusiasm and stupidity.

Fraternity Dear Editor,

I am Bill Weiss, a recent brother of the New York Zeta chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon. From the beginning of my pledge " period to the "end, I have been learning more about what this fraternity stands for and the im­portance of brotherhood.

When I first heard of the frater­nity, I envisioned the movie "Animal House," where there were 24-hour parties and people riding motorcycles in and out of the house. When I went to my

, first rush meeting, I realized that the stereotypical view people had and have had of fraternities is wrong. I was nervous when I first went because I knew nothing about the people in the fraternity or what they were going to do. But, I was comfortable when we started talking. The brothers ex­plained that it was not just a party house, but a place where people

- have a special friendship and trust among each other. Emphasis was put on the three cardinal prin­ciples of this fraternity, virtue, diligence, and brotherly love. These principles are not only im­portant within the fraternity, but they are morally important as well.

When the time for ^initiation came everyone knew each other well, the nerves that were felt dur­ing the beginning of the pledge

period had disappeared. Trust between brothers and pledges was strong.

During the course of the initia­tion period, I understood the principals better than I ever had, and my trust in the brothers grew. This period was very significant in our brotherhood development period.

From the rush period to the in* itiation ceremony, it was a well organized and thought out development period. I was glad to have been a part of it.

I would like to recognize the chapter's brothers, for organizing-the development period. They, as well as the alumni brothers,.have done\an excellent job in making this av meaningful period in my early college life.

Our chapter is located across the street from Marist College in Poughkeepsie, New York (5' houses down from Caputos). We currently have 13. brothers, and hope to gain more during our Rush Period in the • spring semester.

If you have any questions about our chapter you may ad­dress them to: 71 North Road, Poughkeepsie, New York, 12601 or Box C-823, Marist College.

Thank you for your time. Brother Bill Weiss,

Curmudgeon's Manifesto

My dinner with Ron by Carl MacGowan

It's morning in America. The family is excited because they are to receive a very special visitor for a very special Sunday supper.

Sharing the.meal and an after­noon of football will be none other than our own President Ronald Reagan. Soon, the presi­dent's motorcade will be busting through the .weekend traffic, making a wrong turn at Renee Drive, asking the neighbors for directions and, finally, taking up all of Tucker 'Drive to park various limosines, secret service vehicles, and paddy wagons Oust in case, say the advance men).

Oh yes, let's not forget three television crews and represen­tatives of every news organization East of the Poconos.

The president arrives, picks up a football that had been lying on the lawn and instinctively tosses the-ball while mugging for the cameras. The ball goes about 10 yards downfield and hits the family cat.

"Well," the president an­nounces, , "maybe I should have served notice that I would begin bombing in five minutes!"

(Ho,.ho. Chuckle, chuckle.) ' 'Action!" an aide shouts as we

settle into the living room. On the television, a Jets running back dashes through the Giants defen­sive line.' •' -, • "Get that' -!"• cries Reagan;

having 'obviously " studied his charts on ' football fans' preferences in the southern Long Island region. "Oh, excuse me, ma'am. I was discussing foreign policy with George Bush this mor-x

ningj" . „ : (Yuk, yuk. Snicker, snicker.) The president had brought his

own bottle of wine, and before long drinks the whole carafe by himself. He starts saying something about a one Tip O'Neill, but his voice trails off. -

"What'd he say?" asks Dad. Press secretary Larry Speakes

steps in. "That comment was off the record," he says.

Dinner is something else this evening. The appetizer is a cup­cake for each person: The main course is a three-tiered lemon glaze cake, with a side order of strawberry shortcake. Scrump­tious. And, for dessert: a chocolate torte.

Trying to make conversation, Mom says, "It's so nice of you to drop by like this, Mr. President."

"Yes, well, I was going to go to my son Michael's home," Reagan says', "but my ex-wife was there and she kicked me out, the bit­ch." •

"What was that?" asks a reporter.

Speakes: "The president has misquoted himself. No big deal."

Nancy sits quietly, gazing at her husband.

Dad says, with a big smile: "You know, I'm already thinking about what I'll be able to do with this house, now that we don't have to pay taxes."

"What's that?'' Reagan says. "Fifteen percent minus fifteen

percent is nothing, right?" Dad reasons. "We'll be able to pay off the roof!"

"Uh, no," the president pro­claims. "Uh, well..."

"The fifteen percent tax cut you are referring to, sir, is reserv­ed only for those who have been unfairly denied the right to par­ticipate in the free market during ' the • previous- administration," Speakes states.

"The truly needy," little sister adds.

"Right ," Speakes says. "Besides, nothing is final; our op­tions are wide open."

"I've heard, though," says_ Mom, "that this tax reform pro­posal, if adopted, will still lead to higher taxes in the future."

The president is silent. His eyes are closed. An aide whispers in his ear.

Reagan shakes his head. "No, no! No taxes!" he says.

Meanwhile, Dad notices that baby brother is feeding the dog his vegetables.

"Son,'; he says. "Eat those chocolate-chip cookies or I'll spank you!"

"Aw, Pop," says baby brother. "I don't like these. When can we have spinach again?"

Reagan laughs. "Oh, let the boy have some spinach. It's a free country."

"We," starts Mom before hesitating. "We can't afford

them." The reporters scribble

ferociously in their notepads. "Mr. President," one says. "How are you going to help this family?" / '

"Well, I'll get this poor man a job," says Reagan.

•*.,•', "Why, I have a job. I work at McDonald's," says Dad as he rises and places a fist on his chest and thrusts his nose /to the heavens. "And I'm proud of it," he says.

"What about the woman?" asks another.

"How about the kids?" asks a third correspondent. "What

^aboutthem?" / "No more questions," Speakes 'announces. "The president will release a statement later today.''

After dinner, we walk outside — just the 58 of us. Reagan sud­denly stops and motions discrete­ly to the driveway.

And the winner is... \

by Brian O'Keefe

President Reagan won the race, but wait, was that race the race that millions of people watched on a Tuesday evening in early November? Marie Esperancilla and I, from Marist, and Sue Willis, from Connecticut, were gathered here in the heart of Yorkshire, England, to watch the U.S. election returns on the.BBC (British Broadcasting Corp.) and ITV (Independent Television). .

What a nice surprise: the BBC was broadcasting the NBC coverage live via satellite as the ITV broadcast ABC liv>.'Torn Brokaw and Peter Jennings — such familiar faces of home! r ,

Midnight rolled around on this side of the globe and the predic­tions of exit polls were abound. Our new British friends were in awe of the American versions of television news. "Look at those graphics," one Londoner ex­claimed.

At 1 a.m. (GMT), we noticed a different race.emerging from the two screens ~ in from of* us: not whether Reagan would beat Mon-dale but which network would predict it first. "CBS w&n. The

BBC even switched satellite links to broadcast the event. CBS an­nounced victory for Reagan at i a.m. 8 p.m. EST — that beats the old record at 8:30 p.m. — set four years ago. Yes, that's 5 p.m. in California, as we continue to scan the time zones of the world.

Most people hadn't left work yet on the West Coast, let alone vote.

For CBS. to lead the pack at such an early hour — did :they have an important message of Reagan's victory or did they have to prove to the country's viewers (and the rest of the world) that thejr had the best'computer and the swiftest journalists?

It certainly wasn't fair to all the candidates, including those runn­ing for Congressional and Senate seats on the West Coast. The British students here couldn't fathom how the networks could make such an announcement — "when the polls were to remain open for more hours in certain areas. ;

Four more'hours and they were already ' shouting "four more years."-'" -•:•?-•;•

Reel impressions

'Amadeus'

by Beverly Morlang '

-When,Peter Schaffer's play, "Amadeus," was released to rave reviews on Broadway, it was ob­vious that a filmed interpretation could not be far behind. But could a film retain the dramatic power inherent in the play? The film version has lost some of its original dramatic prowess but -it remains a powerful tale in its own right.

"Amadeus" is the life and tragic demise of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The story is told in flashback through the eyes of Antonio Salieri, one-time court composer to the royalty of Vienna and arch-rival of Mozart. The film opens with a shocking revela­

tion; Salieri- screams, "Mozart}".-.-• forgive your assassin!'-' and then ~-proceeds'to slit his ~owri; throat. Later, in "an asylum, Saifericon-'^ fesses the story to airiest, ""of his ' hatred', and' murder of Mozart' (Mozart-' died at a ' young age i under mysterious circumstances. Some are of the opinion, in- , eluding Schaffer, that Mozart was poisoned, possibly by Salieri). In • the play, Salieri outlines his tor­tured soul to the "spirits" in the audience, a magnificent effect that couild not be reporduced on film. The priest, then, serves his purpose.

Far from being a murder mystery however, the movie clears with more important themes of " greed and innocence, popularity

and j,genius'A,Salieri^ prays^ that \ through? his1"music,' tfie"peoplc'^ may-hear God'sown-voice-and,, praise himself for it": He does gain'' recognition,-' 'but 'his music - re­mains mediocre-at best. Salieri does not realize'this himself until Mozart arrives in Vienna," an enormous, over-grouwn--,, child j ' wearing violet clothes„'and apink ' powdered wig. Mozart has. re­mained a spoiled child but only Salieri recognizes the genius in his music. Thus Salieri' curses 'God for not choosing him to be the in­strument of His music-and sets out to muffle "the voice of God" . by destroying Mozart.

The film points out -the dif-. ferences between popularity and genius dying unrecognized in its

own time and the folly of attemp­ting'1 to''blame* God for rthe mistakes in one's life."--*-. ' , , --The movie could'do with less* invocation- 'by1* Salieri.. of - the greatness of Mozart's music, the . audience can realized that -on its i own. This may.be the film's only(. flaw for the rest'is'superlative, in­cluding two great performances by. Tom Hulce as ,the spoiled y<k • innocent Mozart",and* F. "'Murray

"Abraham as the evil Salieri. ": ^ 1 ' IP you", totally dislike classical * music; the film will be bit strained • at two and a half hours because it contains, so much of Mozart's music...But a story of Mozart would be mute without it and like his music, "Amadeus" is no less a" masterpiece. . . ... »

Sound barrier

Thorogood: more than good

by Kenneth F. Parker Jr.

George Thorogood and the Destroyers, The Bar-Tones / Ulster Performing Arts Center / . December 1.

Last Saturday evening's con­cert at the Ulster Performing Arts Center (UPAC) in Kingston was a night of firsts. The date not­withstanding, it was the first rock 'n' roll engagement at UPAC. Previously, the venue has never booked anyone heavier than Dr. Hook and Kris Kristofferson. It is also the first time George Thorogood and his band, the Destroyers, have performed in the area.

But, the evening produced several problems which are going to have to be addressed if the 1,538-seat theater continues to draw sell-out crowds.

First, any venue with seats that

sells general admission tickets is asking for trouble. Because of this arrangement, one obviously had to arrive early or assume the role of football running back to ensure a close-up seat. I arrived at 5:45 p.m. to find about 100 peo­ple who had chosen the former idea. Unfortunately! they were not allowed to enter, until 7:15 p.m. which, combined with thirty degree temperatures, tended to anger more than a few.

Another headache is parking. There really isn't any. Concert-goers must park along already crowded city streets where, depen­ding on how far away you park, also depends on whether you will, still own your car after the show.

The concert was triple spon­sored by the local FM rock sta­tion, the owner of the former Crannel St. nightclub,, the Chance, and Jedi Productions, a

student cultural group at SUNY-New Paltz. The concert was a golden advertising opportunity which unfbrtunately the- pro­moters realized. Before the warm-up band, The Bar-Tones, took the stage>we were told which radio station to listen to on the way home.' And. if we weren't headed home, we were asked to visit the other sponsor 's bar in Poughkeepsie (the one that didn't burn down in a Memorial Day fire). And just in case we forgot, we were reminded again before Mr. Thorogood's set. As usual, the crowd played ignorant and cheered both times at the adver­tisements. Am I the only one who finds this practice infuriating? And why wasn't UPAC given a chance to announce upcoming events or SUNY New Paltz a chance to inform the audience of upcoming speakers or musicals?

Fortunately,, the evening's per­formances were a complete, pro­fessional turn-around. If th'ey didn't make v the hassles - wor­thwhile, they at least made you forget them. "< \ ~

The evening began with-a nothing-less-than-exceptional set

' by Woodstock natives, The Bar-, Tones. Performing all original numbers, the eight-man band bar-relhoused its way through 45 minutes of rockability, blues' and swing. They are the first unsigned opening act which I would pay to see again. The lead singer, who can best be described as resembl­ing actor/announcer Merlin Olsen showed a high degree of versatility, with, his angry growl proving very effective on the band's quicker numbers. The Bar-Tones appeared very profes-

Column One

The sceiie

by John Bakke

We are in a small place that Milo, a veteran guide to the college-crowd nightlife, does not recommend. It is relaxed and not crowded, and seems to have developed a civil mood. Milo lists its flaws in attracting the college crowd: good lighting, lots of seating space and decent service.

"We only came here so I'd have a chance to plan the schedule for tonight," he says referring to what promises to be a tour of no small import, climaxing at the pinnacle of the current college bar scene.'

Music floats out from a jukebox, and we stay at this first place until some wiseacre spends $1.75 to play "New York, New York" over and over. "That place has a ways to go," says Milo outside as the door closes on Sinatra's big line: "Theeeeeese lit­tle towwwwn bluuuuuuuuuu--"

"What's wrong with it?" "For one thing, smell your

clothes," he says and, suspecting some sort of practical joke, 1 do. "Smell anything?" he asks, and I tell him I do not. "Just wait'll we get out of the good places. You'll reek of cigarette smoke. Wait and see."

Nightspots two through four go much the same way, with minor improvements such as more oppressive air and substantially less standing room.. Number five, says Milo, is the first one - he can really recom­mend, though he tells me he thought it best that I see the others first so as not to be spoiled

, by sampling only the heart. <= He rates this a seven on a scale

* of ten, and informs me that it is ^ery," though''not extremely, popular. There is just'enough smoke to make your eyes water,

and'the,chance of finding a place to sit down is remote. I clock the time it takes him to retrieve two drink's from the bar, and he is pleased when I tell him six and a half minutes. "Now that's service a college crowd can understand," he says.

The music has picked up too, in type and volume. There is no more jukebox, and whoever is responsible for the selections is taking care to reflect the tastes of an average 14-year-old boy (though non are in sight and state laws make it unlikely that one is at the musical controls). It sounds like WPDH without the commer­cials, and the customers are con­tent.

Due to the volume, we must engage in a leaning conversation. Anyone who frequents a college bar is familiar with the leaning conversation — it begins when the noise level is enough to kill in­sects. (This explains the usual absence of flies in a bar.) The leaning conversation begins with one person leaning over and plac­ing his mouth within three inches of the second person's ear.

In a loud voice, the first line is conveyed and then the process is reversed, with the conversation leaning the other way. This is the only civilized way to speak in a college bar, because if everyone simply sat back and screamed at each other it would be nearly im­possible to tell who, if anyone, is • genuinely upset and likely to begin tossing drinks about.

We continue on to a bar Milo is unreservedly enthusiastic about, and it's no wonder — inside, the bass is incredible. It, sounds as if the roof has been replaced with a large; drum skin, upon which a

..-wrecking .ball .is being..dropped :.repeatedly.;i ;;:." ''•:-.^..'.'..-,i^-:.

',;Milo leans toward me; and speaks. "THIS PLACE IS

REALLY S O M E T H I N G , HUH?" he says with tears in his eyes. He doesn't usually get emo­tional over Budweiser, so it must be the cigarette smoke, which hangs down to shoulder level.

We revel in the cabaret-like charm of. the place for a while before moving on to our final stop. En route, I notice that, as promised, my clothes smell awful. "My clothes really stink now," 1 say, and become upset when I cannot hear myself. "MY CLOTHES REALLY STINK NOW," I yell, reassured at hear­ing the words over a ringing sen­sation.

" G R E A T , " says Milo. "HOW'S YOUR THROAT FEEL?"

"RAW." "GREAT. ISN'T THIS

GREAT? ONE MORE STOP, AND YOU'LL REALLY KNOW WHAT NIGHT LIFE IS ALL ABOUT."

We arrive at Utopia at 2:30, and are lucky because it is "Spandex Night" and, because of that, much easier to slip into and around the mob. The music no longer bothers me, as the annoy­ing ringing has been replaced by a pleasant low hum. My ears, no longer forced to interpret tones or frequencies, express their gratitude by bleeding slightly.

Milo hands me a note. "You look pale," it reads. "Can you

. breathe?'1 T write , him ~back: "Yes, I can'breathe all right, but my eyes are beginning to swell shut." He responds: "You look like a regular now. ""'•-'* ;•

Indeed I do. The room is filled with squinting people who have lost their voices and smell like ashtrays. We are packed in side to side, chin to shoulder, nose to not-quite-functioning ear, all of us feeling.'ajittle^ridiculous but too embarrassedtci say anything.

sional, which is probably a result of years of playing together. The audience also received them well, and the band returned for a single encore.

George Thorogood and the.. Destroyers took the stage at 9:15 p.m. to the sound of the 1812 Overture. Wearing a brown snake skin suit, Thorogood wasted no time in'' presenting his brand of music.which relies heavily on country, rockability, blues or as he labelled it "good time boogie-woogie." Thorogood handled all,! of the vocal and guitar chores. Despite the Destroyers being a very tight, accomplished trio, it was very much Mr. Thorogood's show. Once, at the beginning and at the end he "blessed" members of the audience by touching the top end of his white, Gibson guitar to the audience's heads. He also journeyed into the audience several times.

So many of today's rock stars perform with such an egotistical, "holier than thou" attitude that it's downright nauseating. However, this band seemed to be enjoying itself throughout. Thorogood's facial expressions and chats with the audience were nothing short of comedic. He br­ings a youthful energy to the purist forms of rock 'n' roll and performs them all like there's no tomorrow (he has Chuck Berry's duck walk down to a science). But his show is not mere revivalism. The arrangements and guitar solos show a talent and mastery that goes beyond imitation.

The band's sax player, whose name I did not pick up, has to be one of the best dancing sax players in history. This man was all over the stage and I swear if he blew that instrument any harder

his neck would have exploded. Thorogood himself danced up a storm as well. His lightning moves and bodily contortions would put most rock musicians in the hospital.

In-- keeping /with the season, "Let's Have a Rock V Roll Christmas" was performed as well as all his best-known numbers. At the end of the show, Thorogood announced that it was the night of the band's eleventh anniversary. He thanked his au­dience several times as well as his band and road crew. His perfor­mance was very sincere and he seemed to genuinely appreciate the chalice to perform.

George Thorogood will pro­bably never reach the level of popularity of some of his contem­poraries, like Bruce Springsteen, simply because his songwriting abilities are not as developed. But he more than compensates with a performance that is driven by sincere admiration for the music and, most satisfying of all, his au­dience. Half way through the con­cert, Thorogood said he hoped it is the first of many visits to ' Kingston. I don't think anyone that was there is hoping other­wise. . - - . . - . . .

Continued from page 1 • „ year, on the court as well as off. I always thought that-Smith was not only the greatest player in Marist history, but one of the finest individuals, to ever lace up his sneakers for the Red Foxes.

Which brings me to the 1982-83 season, far and away the most exciting season I spent as the Marist Red Fox.

We were established as one of the top contenders in the ECAC Metro-South that year, and we had a fine team assembled. Bruce "Scooby" Johnson was returning after a stellar freshman season with the Foxes. Joining him in the backcourt was Tom Meekins, who went on to have a great year.

Smith was returning for his final year as Red Fox scoring machine. Ted Taylor, the en­forcer,/ was back to terrorize opposing frontcourts. Keith Denis was one of the best defensive players Marist ever had. And that year marked the en­trance/of the first seven-footer ever to put on a Marist uniform, John Donovan. > TheJ82-83 season featured two team brawls, a record-setting scoring exhibition by Smith, an-intense rivalry with a hated school* killer dogs, an incredible playoff game at the McCann Center and, yes, a mascot fight.

I didn't want to get involved in the first brawl. Honest. The team traveled to a poor excuse for a gym to play Loyola of Maryland. After a brief scuffle between a couple of players during the•' game, the refs were sorting things out. The situation appeared to be under control until a boisterous (and probably drunk) Loyola fan sat on the Marist bench, which was-actually the bottom row of the bleachers, and began chiding the players.- Well, senior guard Rufus Cooper and company were not the type to take too "much

' from anyone, so-'a fight quickly ensued. Pretty soon, all the fans (or so it seemed) were going at it with the players. I was standing in one corner of the gym, and all I could see was a mass of bodies heading in my direction. Our team bus driver, Al Rozelle, came flying past me yelling, "C'mon, Fox, let's get into this thing!" So I took off my fox head, put it on the floor, and jumped in, trying to separate bodies and come out in one piece.

Things finally got cleared up,

"Where did that masking tape come from?" says Mom, looking at the " X " marked on the con­crete. ;

As the cameramen take pic­tures, I overhear some aides say- , ing that Reagan's speech in Dallas is scheduled for 8 p.m. Reagan shakes Dad's hand, says goodbye and walks offto the limo, waving to the neighbors as he goes. The chauffeur' revvs up the engine, making the Cadillac sound like a Sikorsky. "

"Have a good trip to Texas," I say.

"Taxes? No. No taxes," Reagan smiles,

(Teehee. Ha, ha.) ; - . ' . .

and I went back to my corner to , discover that the fox head was gone. I went crazy looking for it for half the game, asking security guards if they had -seen anyone with a fox head recently. I'm lucky I wasn't committed to an asylum.

Finally, it was found. Someone had apparently put it downstairs,' away from the ruckus.' I guess they felt it wasn't that important for the Red Fox to know where his head was. I literally lost my head on that trip.

Another not-so-fond memory that year was^the guard dogs of Long Island University. It was kind of scary because I never saw them. I just,'heard them. And let me tell you, they sounded mean. The people at LIU kept warning us about the dogs. It was like Friday the 13th, not knowing what was lurking around the corner. One wrong move and Jason's gonna get you.

The two most exciting games in the McCann Center that I ever witnessed both took place in the '82-83 season. The second most thrilling game was against conference rival Fairleigh Dickinson University. Marist ended up winning' a very close game that higlu, but that wasn't what made it so special: That was the night Smith scored- point number 2,000 for the Foxes, something no Marist player had ever done. I can still see the play, or should I say The Play? Smith receiving the ball to the right of the key, putting the ball on the floor, getting the step on his defender, and BOOM! a- slam dunk to the delight of more than 2,500 Marist fans. The place just exploded. ".v •.'•••-."

The absolute most emotionally packed game that Marist has ever played was against its most hated rival! the Siena Indians. It was in

' the conference playoffs in early -1983 at the .McCann Center. It was close right throughout, but at the end, the Red Foxes pulled it out by just one point. I went nuts. When the final buzzer sounded, I did something I had never before done. I took off the head in full view of everyone to celebrate. I really got caught in the ex­citement.

However, while I was celebrating, I missed the REAL

• action...- A -Siena player' thought there .should, have -been time on the dock, for, one more shot for, the Indians. - So he took , his frustrations,^out- on Marist's academic advisor and scoreboard operator aX, the time, Dr / Lawrence " Meriapace. • A team brawl broke out, but this'time 1 kept well away from the ex­tracurricular activity and made sure to keep the fox head in clear view.

I personally have a grudge against Siena mainly because of anincident that took place earlier that season at Siena. In the usual style of most mascots, the Indian and I were mugging it for the crowd, staging a mock fight on the floor. However, he started to get a little carried away, slapping the side of the fox head harder than I thought he should have. I commented that perhaps he should take it easy, and resumed play-acting. Before I realized it, one of Siena's male cheerleaders knelt down behind me. I couldn't see him because my vision in that suit is pretty much limited to straight ahead. The Indian then pushed me and. down I went, landing on my back and neck.

The next few seconds were like a blur, I was so angry. I disengaged myself from the fox head, jumped up, yelled something at the Indian that can't be printed in this paper, and threw a wild, looping right hand. I must have caught him by sur­prise, because the punch landed squarely on his temple and he staggered back. At that point a few dozen people stepped between us, ending the great mascot fight. I stalked across the floor, head off, to a chorus of boos from the three thousand Siena fans in attendance. Trying to look as cool as possible, I gave them my best scowl. I was just hoping to get out of there alive. *. ' •

But that's the exception, not the rule. Generally, I'm a good-natured guy. Last year brought me some good memories. The trip to South Bend for the Notre Dame game was a lot of fun. It was my first time up in an air­plane, and I was sky-high throughout the trip. We only lost by seven, which was a great step forward for the program.

After sue mdnths of different entertainment formats and three name changes, the club opened in early November as "Butter-fields."

When Bottini and Florio, both natives of the Poughkeepsie area, bought the business over two years ago, they changed its image from a country western bar to a dance club named "Butterfields."

Bottini compared Butterfields to "Let's Dance," another area

'nightclub. "Here," he said, "you can let your hair down." He add­ed that people can dress any way they want and not feel out of place.

"Despite attempts to pour money into education, costs have risen and financial aid has been pulled back, causing.the.private colleges to suffer," said Atkin. - ;

Because of low tuition costs -—' $1,050 per academic year r— public colleges do not feel the pinch as much, said Atkin. She also noted that public institutions are supported by taxpayers.

Although Marist has enjoyed an increase in enrollment in the past five years, most private colleges have seen decreases in the overall enrollment. V

"Closing the gap between the public and private sectors of education, has ; been quite a struggle, causing Marist and other schools to rely increasingly more on private donations," Atkin said. "Columbia University is in the

. midst of a compaign to raise S400 million. New York University recently finished a $100-million

drive. Last Thursday, Hunter

College, a branch of the City University of New York, a public institution,- announced a $3 million fund-raising j drive — demonstrating a new thrust for private donations to the CUNY system.,/.; :

."/-Origination fees and tighter requirements for loan eligibility are also; making it tougher for students to fund their education.

In 1981,an origination fee was imposed on all Guaranteed Student Loans, costing students a fee of 5% of the amount of the loan, plus interest.

Legislative director of the NSEF Kathy Ozer said that the worst manipulation of financial aid is in student eligibility. ' "~ :"• Karen Atkin explained that the government now expects more money to be contributed by the family as 'a whole.

"It[s a back door policy," said Atkin. •

In 1983, Reagan's budget emphasized a new philosophy of "self help," requiring students to obtain 40% of their total educational costs, to be eligible for a grant or financial aid.

Last year's budget proposal for 1984 was totally rejected by the House and Senate, and the. education budget was actually j increased by $2 billion.

Ozer cautioned that although! the numbers may sound large, the education segment of the United States only represents IVIVO of the total budget. That amount must be shared with grammar and secondary schools, so higher education only receives half, of that amount, noted Ozer. ! - The budget will be received ;by Congress in early January, and a final decision will be announced in October.

Ozer encourages: students to participate in a lobby conference in March, to "save the future of their education."

'Seasons Greetings' set to open tonight by Margo Kucich

Four aspiring theater students will put aside everyday college life to temporarily create the lives of middle-aged people in the play, "Seasons.' Greetings at Hdbart Arms," which will be'per-formed in the Marist College theater Dec. 6 through 9.

The play, written by Dean of Student Affairs "Gerard A. Cox, will showcase the acting, set designing, publicity and overall pro­duction skills of students in his class, Theory and Practice of Modern Theater. "I feel it is good to apply the theory of the class in a production of a play, "said Cox.

The • actors, juniors Paul Raynis and Peter Scully and sophomores Marydale Dolezal and Marta Powers, wiU play characters between the ages 6f~55:;60.'C6x'said''the main point of the play is to show the transitions that two couples go through at this age. • ' " - - . -- "The idea for the-play came from seeing people I know ex­

perience these transitions," said Cox. "I feel this time in life characterizes an ending of many things. ?' . -

" "The whole process of putting on a play.is very hard work,"-said Cox. "There are practices four nights a week and besides the actors there are 40 other people participating in the production in one way or another." •• ' ' ' _"*„"

Raynis, who plays the role of Michael Shea, also said it takes hard work. ,-. * .**-'". ;'

"At first learning and memorizing the lines is the hardest thing to do," said Raynis. "After that it's hard to remember that you are playing someone else. Playing Michael Shea will be a real

- challenge because the character is so much older than me. All ofr

a sudden I've got to start thinking the way someone who's 55 or 60 would think.": - . : - -. r

-;" Cox said the "Seasons' Greetings" cast size allows for better communication in putting the production together. "Com­municating with a"variety of people can be one of the toughest things," said Cox. "Having a small cast makes this easier."

Raynis, who said he enjoys acting very much and has perform­ed in Marist productions of "Frog Prince," "Godspell," and "Three Penny Opera," said this cast has been the easiest to work with.

Dolezal will play Catherine Shea, Michael's wife. Scully and Powers will play Gus Vitale and his wife Angie.

Cox said he started writing "Seasons' Greetings" two years ago and has made repeated revisions since then. In that time, he has also written "Penny Stealers," "Lead Me Home," and "A-Work-In-Progress."

4 arrested iir 3 campus cases by Kevin Schulz & Brian Kelly

Town of Poughkeepsie police have arrested four people, in­cluding three Marist students, in-

• volved in three separate incidents over the past few weeks.

Student charged with forgery George M. Hanley, 17, a

Marist freshman from Cranston, R.I., was arrested Saturday after allegedly stealing, forging, and cashing two checks belonging to his roommate, according to town police Detective Thomas Mauro.

Mauro said that Hanley was charged - with two coUnts of forgery in the second degree, a class D felony, and two counts of petit larceny, a class A misde­meanor.

_ Director of Marist Security Joe> Waters said that the checks were both made out to a local pizzeria, one for a total of $13.65 and the other for $24.80. The checksjvere" dated Nov.-l 1 and Nov. 17/ •/• ; . Waters said that Hanley was ar­raigned Saturday and released on his honor. He is to return to town court tomorrow.

Director of Housing Robert

Heywood said that disciplinary action will be taken against Hanley as a .student, pending court action. ' • ' . . .

Freshmen arrested after becoming disorderly

Two Marist freshmen were ar­rested on Nov. 19 after becoming disorderly on campus, according to Town of Poughkeepsie Police.

Robert Welch, 18, of Pem­broke, Mass., was charged with attempted assault, a misde­meanor, after he tried to strike Security Supervisor Kenneth Leg-gett as he escorted Welch and his roommate, Joseph Lopez, to their room;'in Leo Hall, according to the police. :

Lopez, 18, of New York City, was I charged jwith criminal mischief, also a misdemeanor, after he broke a mirror in the room, according to . Security Supervisor Paul Parpowich. He also said that the pair had been drinking prior to their arrests. v; Welch and Lopez were expelled

from ' on-campus housing by. Heywood. Since Marist freshmen beyond commuting distance are required to live on campus, the two have been . expelled from

Marist. . Heywood said his decision

"was based on their disorderly behavior and their past disciplinary history.''

Poughkeepsie youth arrested for trespassing

Av 17-year-old Poughkeepsie youth was arrested early Nov. 16 after allegedly'entering a Marist

•townhouse. Jake Corstor was arraigned for

trespassing by Town of Poughkeepsie Police according to Paul Burke, assistant director of security.

According to Mike Mueller, resident of townhouse B-7, he and his roommate, Mike Murphy heard their sliding doors open at 5:50 a.m. Upon noticing someone standing there, the two students rah outside and asked him what he was doing. Corstor told them that he had to return a term paper to a girl. Mueller and Murphy let him go, and immediately con­tacted Marist security.

Security turned Corstor over to Town Police after Mueller and Murphy identified him, Burke said. .

Marist talen t plays for 100 '• A total of seven acts performed before a/crowd of about 100 students in the Fireside lounge last week; but the Faculty/Stu­dent Talent Nite was strictly a stu­dent show.

.". The acts included six musical groups and one solo dancer, who competed for a total pf $75 in prize money. There were no facul­ty entries.

A solo guitar player, Joe Pratt, a senior, took the $50 first prize; a three-member group— Matt Browne, Paul Raynis,. both juniors, and Joe O'Donnell,

sophomore, on guitar, vocals and keyboard, respectively took the $15; second prize; and a two-member act-- singer Maureen Griffin and pianist Julie Rizito, both freshmen, took the $10 third prize.

The acts were judged by a three-member panel comprised of Karen Chatterton, Interhouse Council president, Stephen Bent-ly, upperclassmen mentor, and Greg Luna, financial board chair­man. The event was sponsored by the College Union Board cof­feehouse committee, chaired by Linda Imhof. CUB President An­

drew Crecca was master of ceromonies.

Nursing program takes on a high-tech look by Willy Hare

With a computer-assisted learn­ing program, the new nursing ma­jor at Marist College could gain an edge on other schools, accor­ding to Director-of Nursing Dr. Barbara Hynes. »

Using personal-computer pro­grams integrated with audio­visual aids, nursing students in their junior and senior years will be able to make critical decisions for imaginary patients, said Hynes.

Hynes compared the program with simulated flight training. "It's kind of like training a pilot," said Hynes. "He practices landing a plane on a computer before flying a real plane, all the while knowing he will do it for real later. This program lets the student build confidence, without the pressure of a real patient."

The computer programs will not be complete until present freshmen reach their junior year, said Hynes. By that time the nurs­ing students, will have finished their supportive courses, Hynes

said. According to Hynes-, this is not

a new technology, but it is more advanced. "Medical schools have done it, but only on main frames," Hynes said. "Now'it can be used on PCs and interact with a VCR. PCs aren't fighting for time, so they're quicker for learning."

Hynes said that almost all of the scripts (for the computer pro­grams) are written from actual cases.

According to Hynes, the basic format is simple: The student is given a short explanation of the situation at the beginning of the program. This tells the student what the patient's illness is and what the patient's status is at that time. The student is then given a number of decisions to make on the care of the patient.

All of the decisions made by the student are graded by the com­puter, said Hynes. The student's grade is given at the end of the program. If a student makes a particularly bad decision, the computer will end the program

and advise the student to review the material. ,

The program will not only in­clude computers. "Some of the scripts include videotapes that have actors portraying patients," said Hynes. "There is the capability of using a series of tapes. Key words in a student's response would start different tapes."

Students will still get experience in the field. "Every level of study will be combined with clinical ex­perience, usually two days a week," Hynes said.

There are currently six health agencies writing scripts for the program, said Hynes, including St. Francis Hospital and Vassar Brothers Hospital and the Dut­chess County Health Department.

Interest in Marist's computer-assisted program is growing quickly, Hynes said. "Rutgers and Alfred universities have tested it, and they are interested," said Hynes. "The Associated Press is going to have an on-going story. It's snowballing."

Club to offer emergency aid by Jeannine Clegg ,

The first five minutes are the most critical.

That is the reason why it is im­portant to have more people trained to deal with medical emergencies, according to acting Coordinator of Health Services Jane O'Brien.

O'Brien currently is working with the Emergency Medical Ser­vice, (EMS), a new club at .Marist,

, that .will respond,-immediately to 'medical emergencies, o'n campus, *-••=

The club expects to.be in full operation by the fall of 1985 but plans to cover special events and sporting events next semester, ac­cording to junior Chuck Hall, ex­ecutive director of EMS.

Approximately eight members of the EMS will be taking an Emergency Medical Technician course that will train them in car­diopulmonary resuscitation and basic first aid techniques, accor­ding to Hall. The course will cer­tify the students as Emergency' Medical Technicians (EMTs), Hall said. I

EMTs also will be on duty when the registered nurse is not on campus (after!9 p.m. Monday thru Friday and after 5 p.m. on the weekend), Hall said. This should cut down on the number

Letters —_

of people being sent to St. Francis hospital who are not emergency cases,'he said.

An EMT's job is to report to the scene of an emergency and assess the situation based on his certified training, according to O'Brien. ,, EMTs are not authorized to ad­minister drugs or perform surgery on victims, according to O'Brien.

."EMTs are only able to handle ;;-;minor first aid, situations,'.', she

said, .-it-.- O'Brien said the health services

could use the help of the EMTs . during the day in dealing with

emergencies outside the health of­fice.

Hall estimates that EMTs would be responding to about two emergency calls a week.

."; The students interested in becoming EMTs will be taking the

i course at Dutchess Community 'College in Poughkeepsie during the spring semester. Offered as a

; non-credit course, the class will provide the students with 102 hours of classroom and practical experience, according to the Of­fice of Community Services at Dutchess Community College.

j The cost of the class will be $40 ; per student.

With the help of the club's ad­visor, Dr. Joseph Bettencourt,

associate professor of biology, the club is in the process of re­questing that the course be of­fered by Marist, according to Hall, -

r

A priority right now is to pur­chase four pagers and four radios to establish a communications system between EMTs, Hall said.

Hall said that the club needs to come up with about $2,000 to purchase needed equipment through its own fundraisers and possibly, outside contributions

"frorhthecommunity.' The EMS at Marist is being

modeled after the same program at the State University of New York at Buffalo, according to Hall. The university is just one of. more than 22'colleges in the state that have the emergency medical service, Hall said.

A long term goal for the club, Hall said, is to have a transport vehicle or an ambulance on cam­pus. However, for an ambulance to be used on" campus by the EMS, state requirements must be met.

"I don't think we would qualify because of our proximity to St. Francis," Bettencourt said.

Hall agreed. He said that a transport vehicle would be a more realistic goal.

The ridvet life Of writer Lewis i D9C. 6,1984 • THE CIRCLE - P«0# 11,

by Rose Hazelton ' •. >

-. "Forks are barbaric, because \ . you're ° here holding this thing

' with points on the end of it. The object is not to scoop, or to

• .soothe, but to stab, to puncture, x to conquer, to kill. It's barbaric.

With chop sticks you surround the food and you ease it into your mouth. It's civilized. Chop sticks are. smooth and wood-, and natural.;-Forks are metallic and harsh arid brutal. I do not wish to brutalize myself or my food."

Whether the topic' is utensils, writing, teaching or philosophy, Lewis Eisenberg, a professional free-lance writer, has a novel 'ap­proach.

Creativity is the key to writing and to life for Eisenberg, 36, an adjunct instructor in fiction writing at Marist. "My theory of creativity," he said, "is that I am the* result of millions, billions of years of evolution."

Eisenberg said that the ultimate force that created us is beyond comprehension, but that it does exist in all of us. Thus, our per­sonal creativity can be compared . to tapping into that larger force. "If we can reach it (creativity), we, -tap into a smaller version of that force that created the universe.*' -

~ Eisenberg sees creativity '-• as both an external and internal force in the human being. . • v;

In his own creative process, : Eisenberg considers his characters ^

_ from both internal and external viewpoints. "Most times I see -things from above. I see patterns ; because I'm above them: There's ' some part of me that's always above me and looks down-on things, and sees how they, fit . together," said Eisenberg.

He added: "Patterns interest " , me. I don't see them as human be­

ings so much, as pieces of things that_ move around. Could be amoeba, could, be cars, buses,

human" beings. . They're ' all the same to me — patterns.'' -

Eisenberg writes many dif­ferent forms of fiction. In the past few years, he has been writing screen plays. He said his latest work "High Octane" is a cross between "On the Water­front" and "Carwash." Also, he currently has a regular column, which centers around a holistic approach to self discovery, in the magazine "New Age Journal."

In addition to his other work, Eisenberg, a husband and father of two children, also writes fpr the "little people?" His largest file contains uncompleted ideas for children's stories. "Children's stories and humor are the things I perk on the most; I feel the strongest affinities with, and that I feel I can do the best," he said.

One example of his children's fiction is a story about a cat that appears after a comet." "Like, strange things start to happen to the town after the comet appears, and everybody blames the cat and thinks the cat is related to the comet," he said.

Another.story is about a cat that isn't satisfied with his tail. VSo he changes tails. He tries a horse's tail, a,, pig's tail, a rooster's tail." '"

T& stimulate .f ideas for his children's stories, Eisenberg will often draw his "characters.'' For his unsatisfied-cat story, Eiseriberg said he made stencils of cats and painted them with dif­ferent kinds of tails. "The nice thing about children's stories," he said, "is that it's a real mar­riage between the literal and the visual." "'.' •'• ••'' '--"•;••- '

As far as writing for adults, Eisenberg admits that, although it is the dream, of many American novelists, writing the "Great American Novel" is not his call­ing. He said he once shared the dream, but, after having com­

pleted but not published a novel, realizes he won't be the one to write the great one. "No, I got that but of my system. I will not write the Great American Novel. Ever. No. I don't have it in riiej" he claims. '.'I thought I did. I real­ly did,!' he said,' "and I gave up a •lot, a real lot, to write that novel." . ';v;'h:'.' , Eisenberg said, however, that writing a large-scale novel was. worth it, even though it will never be published, because he learned from the experience. ."1 don't have that scale. It's the truth. I'm not ashamed of it." He added: "I'll still write a book, and it may be a great book, but it won't be the Great American Novel."

Eisenberg is more than just a professional writer; he is also a teacher. In addition to his course at Marist, he teaches writing courses at Dutchess Community College. He said: "I believe I have something to impart. I really believe that it's important to.show young people that there are alter­natives to the way they are being herded."

Yet Eisenberg sees his philosophy reaching more people than just his students. "At a deeper level," he said,: "I'm a

'•. misguided rabbi. I believe the world is essentially a good place and that people are essentially good." .; f •'•;•- ; , Eisenberg acknowledged that

the world has its conflicts, its pro­blems, but those shouldn't be paramount, he claims. "What should / be . important is the positive things and the things that we can do"to better ourselves and the world." •• As Eisenberg seesit, "it's (the world'is) all inverted, and I have a sense that it's like a dark cave, and if anybody who has a little il­lumination can go in there, and if enough people will do that, it'll be brighter." •

Eisenberg .oil.... I ...Art: "I like the toes and

fingers Picasso draws. His work is primitive. Not primitive in the sense of ritualistic, but primitive in the sense of elemental; in strip­ping away all the bullshit, and all the pretense,! and really coming down to what things really are."

...Music: "Ludwig (von Beethoven) has saved my life many times. He's a human heart of cosmic dimension. Beethoven was tuned in to that life force which created all. So when you tune into Beethoven, you get there t o o . " • • ; • • ' . : .

...the University of Connec­ticut:."! didn't want to go there. (It was\ a) cow. college. A party school. So I learned how to party and chase cows."

...Living: "The best you can hope to do in life is just go with the tide of that life force.

Black Student Union a new image

by Maureen Ryan . j ' . •

The Black Student Union is thought of as being for black and minority students only. The fact is that anyone and everyone is in­vited to join this group and its functions, according to Tracy Shipley, club president.

Shipley said that this year the clubs' main objective is to clear up the major misconception that exists on this campus regarding theBSU.

"The students here think that if you're not black or Hispanic you can't belong to the Black Student

Union. They also think that they can't participate in any of our functions and that just isn't so. We sponsor many activities throughout the year for all Marist students to enjoy," said Shipley. "Our biggest problem is trying to make the students aware of this fact."

The name Black Student Union may be part of the reason for the problem, Shipley said. She ex­plained that the reason for the name goes back to when the club first started. "Minority students felt a need to come together to form a club at a time when not too many clubsexisted on' cam­pus. They did many activities with the Spanish Club and Casa, the club formed by hispanics."

When Casa folded three years ago, both the Spanish Club and the BSU began running functions on their own, according to Alvin Patrick, a BSU member.

Patrick, a Marist junior, ex­plained that the members of the BSU come together because they share one thing in common: being considered a minority. "From there, we are as different from one another as the next guy," Patrick said. "It's just like being a member of house council; they come together because they have one thing in common also: they live on campus," he said. "You don't see them having trouble get­ting students of participate in their activities."

BSU has approximately 35 members. They, not only hold school activities such as pool par­ties at McCann, bake sales and cultural food seminars, but they also perform community services in Poughkeepsie.

The club's main activity is to help the After Head Start Nursery School of Poughkeepsie — a government-funded school for" underprivileged children ranging in age from toddlers to 5 years old.

* 'We just held a Halloween par­ty for them," said Patrick. "We had games for them to play, they bobbed for apples and we helped them paint their faces with clown make-up. It's a lot of fun and the kids really enjoy it."

On Dec. 5, the club is going to hold a cultural food seminar to introduce the foods of many dif­ferent cultures to students. The Spanish Club has been invited to join this activity, according to a club member.

In February, Black History month, the club will have displays up in the library, Shipley said. Also next semester, she said, the club plans to hold its annual mix­er.

The seven-member band, Funhole, (photo by Margo Kucich)

I

Tuning in on Funhole by Amelia Barnes

• As the lights dimmed over the crowd, a Gregorian chant echoed through the Surf Club. No, it was not a religious service, but the opening of another performance by Funhole.

,The Gregorian chant is just one of many strange and' unusual antics used by the seven-member band, all Marist' students, to grab the attention of an audience.

As one member of the band put it,'the group'tries to blend "fun and good time rock V roll'."

Members of the band are Jack D'Orio (drums), Doug Dutton (vocals), Pat Farley (rhythm guitar), Vinnie Kane (lead and slide guitar), Brian Kelly (bass guitar), Steve Lackey (lead guitar) and Paul Snyder (percussion and vocals).

"We were pretty much formed by accident,'' said Dutton. "We all decided to get together one day and jam for awhile, and we ended up sounding pretty good together:"

"We all belonged to separate-bands at one time," said Snyder. "Pat Farley Blues Band, Variety

Show Rejects and Hell Razor are a. a few of the less successful bands."

Funhole first invaded the Marist community during the fall semester of 1983. The dorms and buildings around campus were wallpapered with signs and notices announcing the the group's arrival.

"The first opportunity we got to perform was at the Working Class, (a Poughkeepsie bar),!' said •D'Orjo. "All of our friends were there. Everyone had a really good time."

Since the group's first per­formance, students have had an opportunity to see Funhole at a variety of places, including the Marist Pub, the spring 1984 Marketing Club party and the Surf Club in Poughkeepsie. "When we played at the Surf Club, we actually had our own dressing room," said Snyder. "That was even better than the $150 we made for playing there."

"We'll play all night for all the free beer we can drink and a chance to have a good time," said Kelly. "We're not in it for the money."

Funhole is known for its

outlandish introductions. If you happen to stand in the front row during a Funhole performance,

- you risk the chance of en­countering a variety of objects flying from the stage. Later, you might get a chance to win at "Name That Tune," a game used by the • band to encourage audience participation. Three or four notes are played from .a selection of songs-by artists such as The Doors, .Chuck.Berry and George Thofogobd. The prize is a bottle of- Jack' Daniels Whisky, which is purchased by the band. -

The band members' main complaint is that they have a problem trying to get practice time together. "With seven members in the band, it's hard for everyone to get together all the time,", said-Snyder. "We also have to decide many times bet­ween our school work and the band," said Dutton.

The group's main' appeal, according to band members, is being different. "We feel we offer an alternative to the students," said D'Orio. "We let the students hear some good music instead of the same music which is played in the Marist Pub every Pub Night."

Fund drive set for old albums by Maureen T. Ryan

Marist's Beirne Media Center is planning a major fund drive to cover the costs of preserving a collection i of thousands of old records, donated to the college.by a former student.

The. collection, which' contains some 5,000 recordings, was left to Marist by' Rick Whitesell, a 1975 graduate who died in 1980. The Media Center has housed the col­lection since 1981.

Diane Strauss of the Media Center said proper storage was. essential for maintaining the records. "Many of the albums, are quite.brittle, and we don' t have" the proper recording equipment here at the Media Center to get them onto cassettes," she said. "That ' s why it is so important to raise sufficient funds."

To raise funds for the collec­tion, the Media Center has hired a consultant from New York City to aid in putting together a pro­motional package to be distributed to record companies and other potential donors.

The Media Center staff is conti­

nuing work..-on organizing the huge collection. So far, the preliminary cataloging has been computed, a video library has been started to complement the collection and Marist has had records donated by other in­terested sources.

Five decades of popular music, ranging;from the 1930s through the 1970s, are represented in the collection, including such premier artists as the Delta Rhythm Boys, Fred Astaire, .Les Paul, the Ink

. Spots and Ella Fitzgerald. Records in the Whitesell collec­

tion cannot be used until tapes are made. "Right now we are plann- _ ing on having a music library in the Lowell Thomas Center where students, historians, scholars and . musicologists can come to use the , taped versions of Whitesell's col­lection and to read a variety of music magazines," explained Strauss. "Until the Lowell Thomas Center; is built, tapes can't be made and the collection cannot be enjoyed."

. Supplementing the record col­lection is a collection of music periodicals donated by Peter

Kanze, an area resident. The Kanze periodicals include editions of Billboard, Rolling Stone,.Fu­sion, Cream, Circus and Goldmine magazines, ranging from the '50s to the '80s:

Whitesell was the • editor of Goldmine magazine for the three years prior to his death, and many of the Goldmine editions that Kanze donated are from those years.

To go along with his collection, Kanze compiled an index for the articles contained in the periodicals. - :•

After being .contacted : by Marist, Lincoln Center agreed to be the New York City branch of the Whiteseil collection. The taped albums will be available to the public at the Rodgers arid Hammerstein Archives at Lincoln

'Center. '; •-.."'; According to Peter Grendysa,

Whitesell's close friend: Whitesell hoped "to gather as many ex­amples of black popular music as possible to provide the necessary raw material for the study of the genre. Rick felt a need to fill a void in American musk." . .

Alcohol on campus: 2 different approaches

Dec. 6,1984 THE CIRCLE Pag* 13.

Editor's Note: Campus alcohol policies are increasingly becoming an issue at American colleges and universities. Robert LaForty, a Marist studejit now interning at a Philadelphia television' station, recently looked' into the alcohol policies at two colleges in Penn­sylvania. His report follows. '

St. Joseph's Saint " Joseph's ' University's

alcohol policy and the phrase "bring your own booze" - are terms that according to Ray Becker, director of student ac­tivities at . St.'. Joseph's, are somewhat synonymous. • According to Becker, .the SJU

alcohol policy has some special sections. "Number three is the in­teresting one," says Becker. The section states that "students per­sonally .possessing -more than a six-pack,of,.beer, a twenty-four ounce bottle of wine or a pint of liquor will be considered ex­ceeding the quantity of alcohol which constitutes reasonable in­dividual consumption." '.'"-We're.not saying that those ' three forms of liquor are equal or

\ that'they're • in-anyway. similar,'-'.". . said Becker.." It's just saying that those three items are just a form of packaging that we can han­dle."

Broken down, this policy means that when any SJU student or guest attends a SJU event where the policy is in effect, he or she can bring in one of the three items.

"We are not in any way eridors--ing that you drink a whole six-- pack of beer or a pint of hard li­quor," said Becker. "It's the best way we (SJU) can limit alcohol,

^but there is a loophole.'.' Accor-" ding-to Becker, some students try to leave the events and re-enter with another six-pack or more hard liquor. .But, unlike Marist, St. Joe's

doesn't check I.D.'s at the door of mixers. "We don't ask for pro­of "at the door," said Becker, "because if you are coming to the event you have gotten the alcohol from a source beyond our con­trol. We are riot at a point that we are checking it (I.D.) and say­ing 'ah ha you shouldn't have this. '" " • .

According to Becker, when the university has a mixer, notices are posted that call attention to the alcohol laws of the state of Penn­sylvania,to point out to students that, they .may be. breaking' the law; Like many colleges in Penn­sylvania, SJU doesn't have a" li­quor license, and this makes the administration feel a little better, according 'to Becker.'-' Since we (SJU) aren't providing it, v/p feel that it puts us in a better position

legally," he said. , "There's a lot of talk national- . ly now regarding alcohol," said « Becker, "people going off cam­pus and drinking along with driv­ing and the legal responsibility of -serving it... you know, lawsuits.".:\

"I think there is an awareness of this how that there hasn't been in the past,'' said Becker. SJU holds many non-alcoholic'events that are, according to Becker, "very successful."

"Our Thursday night comedy night, 'The Dating Game' and the annual air band contest work very well with out alcohol. People have good clean fun'at all of these events with out any problems," . he said. - , ' L ." • All SJU's . ,campus-wide organizations must - attend a

: special "alcohol awareness presen­tation put on by Becker's office in cooperation with the college's counseling center. "The presenta­tion is two part," said Becker. "We don't just walk in and say were going to encourage you not to drink." - According to Becker, the university's approach is to point

,out what,responsible drinking,is.f: and show-the students how to deal; with.peers who drink too much. The second part is to show the students * where :;the university stands when it comes to legal issues. . - - - ' . "Our stance is not to restrict '

drinking; it's just to teach people responsibility," said Becker. "I feel that the dramatic change from a campus with alcohol to a " dry campus causes you more dif­ficulty than a compromise would," he said. "What we have^ is' a compromise that both the students and the administration are happy with."

/

Villanova 7 Marist College is not alone

when it comes to a tough campus-wide alcohol policy. Villanova University has the toughest: dry.

Located in the small college town of Villanova in the state of Pennsylvania, where the legal drinking age is twenty-one, Villanova has chosen a dry'cam­pus for many reasons. • According to Lucyna Gorski,

director of student activities at Villanova, more than •; 75 percent of the campus population is under the legal drinking age. " I t ' s not

"that'hard to enforce," says Gor­ski. ' 'We dort ' tgo out and search.1

every room for alcohol or for-under age drinkers. We are not*:

above the law; as long as we can-show that we're doing what wer can, that's.all we (Villanova) can d o . "

Just like at Marist, •' Villanovaj has: a "no-keg"- rule." " N o -

kegs/beer.-; balls or any similar type of common source alcohol are permitted on campus," states the Villanova handbook." If students are caught with kegs, it's a $75 fine, says Gorski," and they are subject to disciplinary ac­tion, and officials confiscate the keg."

The word "d ry" is used to describe the campus, but college officals put this in the handbook: "Students who are twenty-one years of age or older are permit­ted by the University to consume alcoholic beverages in moderate quantities in dormitory rooms." According to Gorski, there are problems. "We do have some trouble maker s" she said, "but we try to familarize every student with the rules by holding pro­grams during orientation."

Villanova has an alcohol presentation that every student must go through. " I - think it 's starting off on the right foot to get people interested in the school's policies,", says Gorski, "as long as it's presented in a fun way and the students enjoy i t . " ;

If-clubs -or- campus organiza­tions want to hold an event; with ' alcoholic beverages,"' they' must submit a request in writing to the vice president for student \life. The request also must be sumbit-ted thirty days in advance of the event. "Since only 25 percent of our population can drink, we use formulas to figure outhow much alcohol-will be present," says Gorski. "If 500 people are going to be present, then we will only have enough alcohol for 125 peo­ple."

NOTICE The University calls attention to the laws of the Commonwealth ' of Pennsylvania which provide that:

. . . It is illegal for any person under twenty-one years of age to possess alcoholic beverages or to attempt to purchase, or to consume or transport any alcoholic beverage within Pennsylvania.

. . . It is illegal for any person to sell or give alcoholic beverages of any kind to a minor.

. . . It is illegal for any person to misrepresent his own age or the age of any other person in order to obtain alcoholic beverages.

. . . I t is illegal for any persons, whether or not a minor, to sell alcoholic beverages without a license, or to possess or transport alcoholic beverages not purchased from a Pennsylvania liquor store or in accordance with regulations promulgated by the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board.

According to Gorski,-students .on the Villanova"campus have a choice of staying on campus and going to mostly non-alcohol events or going off campus to local pubs. "They (non-alcoholic events) are becoming the things on campus you'1 can d o , " says Gorski, "as long as students are shown that they can have a good time without alcohol the first time around." '

Villanova does not have a li­quor license; therefore, it has no

pub on campus, and Gorski said that this helps campus enforce­ment.

When asked if she had the answer to a campus drinking problem, Gorski said: "If I had that answer, I'd market it and make a million dollars. You must use student leaders with faculty and administration to install any. new alcohol policy," says Gorski.

Foxes drop first three, play Stetson next by Ian O'Connor %"

After suffering heartbreaking losses to a trio of eastern rivals, the Marist College men'j5 basket­ball team travels to- Stetson-University tomorrow night to par­ticipate in the Hatters Classic at... theDeland, Fla., school. ^

The Red Foxes will be opening up with the hosting ' Stetson squad, while East Tennessee State will clash with Delaware State in the other contest. The winners will play in the tourney final Saturday night.

"We play the host team first, so that makes us the fourth seed," Marist Head Coach Matt Fur-janic said."There are three tough teams in there, so we'll have to put in a strong effort for two straight nights." . ;.

Marist was scheduled to play the Broncs from Rider College' last night. Last year's champion of the East Coast Conference Tournament, Rider received a bid to the {NCAA playoffs last season. ' ' ' - . '

The Foxes completed what should be their toughest stretch of the season last Saturday in as they fell to the Gaels of Iona in an overtime thriller, 86-78.

;The loss, coupled with last week's setback to the Wildcats of Villanova, were two of the Red Foxes best performances since entering Division One four years ago. Although the squad didn't register one for the win column, it did show the potential to be a serious contender for the ECAC Metro Conference title this year.

"This is the toughest December schedule IVve ,• ever had as a coach," Furjanic said. "I'm not at all satisfied with the losses, but I'm proud of our attitude and in­tensity. We've shown we can play with some people. This experience will just help to get us ready for the conference games."

"To have such a tough game with Marist is no surprise to us," Iona Head Coach Pat Kennedy said. • "Their program has definitely arrived."

Nowhere was that more evident than in Iona's Mulcahy Center on Saturday. Playing one of the

East's top teams in the Gaels and coming off the tough Villanova defeat, the Foxes showed no sign of a letdown in battling the New Rochelle school for 45 minutes. — But it didn't always seem that the contest would be so close. In fact, Marist's last lead-of the game was a 6-4 edge on senior

: forward Ted Taylor's foul shots only two minutes into the game. Iona's half-court trap then caused a flurry of Fox turnovers. After a pair of 3-point plays from Arnie Russell, the Gaels took a 19-12 lead with 12:56 to go in the half.

"The halfrcourt trap hurt us early, but we came' back," Fur­janic said. "The kids kept their composure and didn't panic."

Iona was able to increase its • lead to 9 points before Marist came charging back behind the

- long-range shooting of Steve Eg­gink. The 6-5 senior hit four 20-footers in the last four minutes of the half, bringing the Foxes to within 37,-36 i t intermission.

"We wanted to press him (Eg­gink) so he wouldn't be able to set and shoot," Kennedy said: "But he's a great shooter."

As the second half began, Marist saw its chances slimmed as Taylor and point guard Bruce Johnson picked up their fourth fouls in the first three minutes. But the Foxes stayed close due to the steady play of freshmen Draf-ton Davis and 7-3 Rik Smits. Smits rammed home three slam dunks at times when the Gaels ap­peared to be pulling away.

"He's a franchise player, a building block for Marist," Ken­nedy said. "He caught the ball andmoved to the hoop well. And at 7-3, that's not easy."

With Johns_on and Taylor able to play effectively with four fouls each,. Marist brought it to the wire. After Tony Hargraves hit a free throw to give Iona a 72-70 lead with 53 seconds left, Smits hit a 7-footer with 11 seconds to play to send the contest into over­time.

But the Gaels ultimately proved to be rude hosts. Behind the play of Russell and guard Rory Grimes, Iona scored six points in the final 30 seconds of the extra

period to nail down the win, deny­ing Furjanic his first Marist vic-

, tory. Eggink led the visitors with a game-high 21 points, while Johnson and Taylor had 16 and 13, respectively. Grimes led Iona with 20 points.

"It was just one of those things/' Furjanic said. "Iona is a toughj'experienced team, but we never gave up." ~"~~- — .

Nor did Marist ever give up against its previous opponent, Big East power Villanova. The Wildcats, the best team ever to come to Poughkeepsie, got all they wanted from the hosting Foxes before prevailing in last week's contest, 56-51. .

As in the Iona game, the Foxes fell behind early, due to the inside play of All-America Ed Pinckney. But once again, Marist stayed close as Eggink put on his patented aerial show. It was a Bruce Johnson free throw that gave the Foxes its first lead, 22-21, with 4:30 left in the half.

The teams traded hoops the rest of the way before sophomore for-ward Mark Shamley tapped in an errant Eggink shot at the buzzer/ giving Marist a stunning 30-27 halftime edge and bringing the McCann-record 3,761 fans to their feet.

"From" six minutes into the game until the end of the half, we played flawless basketball," Fur­janic said. "We accomplished all of our first half goals"." '

"At halftime, I told my players to either play or sit," Villanova Head Coach Rollie Massimino said. - -

,, And the Wildcats played. The visitors-came out of the locker-room with a pressure defense and a box-and-one on Eggink, with defensive ace ' Harold , Pressley shadowing the Marist gunner. The strategy worked as the'Foxes committed several turnovers, enabling Villanova to open .up a 50-40 lead with 8:51 remaining.

Although Marist got back to 53-50 on Eggink's jumper with 2:30 on the clock, the Foxes could get no closer and had to settle for the moral victory. But that, said Furjanic.was just not enough. -

"Anytime you lose, you can't

be happy," he said.' "We were in a position to win and we'didn't. We can't be satisfied." .

"Marist played an outstanding basketball game," Massimino said. "This is a good shot in the arm for. their program. I'm unhappy with the way we played, but that's not to detract from ' Marist."

Eggink led Marist with, 17 points, while Taylor-put in one of his best efforts with a 14-pbint, 14-rebound performance. Pin­ckney took game honors for the Wildcats, tallying 19 points and 12 rebounds. -

In the Nov. 24 opener with' Fairfield University, Marist drop­ped its first ,of three "white-knucklers," 79-76, in a game

which the Foxes never had the lead. • The early portion of the first

half proved to be the killer for Marist "once'again,( as Fairfield grabbed a'24-13 lead only .'eight minutes into the contest. If was an uphill battle the rest of-the way, with turnovers stalling the hosting' Foxes. . •

Eggink, who scored 19 points, set up an exciting finish. But in the game's final 20 seconds, Taylor and Frenchman Alain Forestier both missed front ends of one-and-one free throws that could have tied the game at 76. Tony George, who led the" Stags with 29 points, then put the con­test, on ice with a pair of^foul shots. - -' '

The Marist women's basketball team will host C.W. Post tonight at the. McCann Center at 8 p.m. This will be the final home game for the Foxes before the winter break.

Marist was also scheduled to play a .road game at Fairfield University on Monday. j ---, ;

The Foxes started the season this week winning one of three contests. In a game last Saturday, Marist dropped a 51-48 decision to Seton Hall. During the clash,. the Foxes shot only 28 Vi from the field and went only 12-for-29 from the foul line.

"We beat ourselves oh of­fense,". Marist Head Coach Pat Torza said. "We missed eight chip shots. We blew it at the line, and we spent the next practice shooting fouls for fifteen minutes."

- It represented all that is good in collegiate sport. • •-- . . -- . ' Yes.-th'e Marist-Villanova'spec-

tacle of eight days-ago was more than a welcome relief to the recent scandalsthat'have dominated'the college, scene, including a -juicy one of'our own. It was pure and innocent fun; with. &me ingre­dients for'everyohe. It really was what Dr. Naismith, the faither of basketball, had in mind in Spr­ingfield years ago. , •

There's always . something special - about an overwhelming favorite • meeting , a relatively obscure .underdog, especially on that underdog's home court. What'once was a comfortable gym with a-laid-back atmosphere can' suddenly turn into a true snakepit which brings fear to the hearts of visitors.-

And that is what happened at the McCann Center on that near magical night. The students lined

up outside the.doors-four hours before gametime, making sure they would be one of the lucky 800 or so to be admitted. These

. fans came in with visions of an upset, armed ''with soft white weapons to throw at. the invading • giant. • „

But as the weapons had been tossed and the clash had begun, the expected began to unfold. The Wildcats from Villanova jumped out to an early lead, and seemed to have acquired control over the undermanned- Red ' Foxes. Nothing out of the ordinary. The rout was on."

So when did this night become so special? Was it Steve Eggink giving the Nova defense ulcers with his deadly touch? Or was it Bruce Johnson's free throw giv­ing Marist its first lead, towards the end of the opening half? ' It was neither.

Sports Shorts Goldman is interim AD

by Ian O'Connor

Dr. Howard "Doc" Goldman has been appointed Marist's ac­ting athletic director while the college continues its search for a permanent AD to replace Ron Petro, who resigned the post last August.

Goldman, Marist's head soccer coach and former athletic director, took the interim position three weeks ago. He had serv­ed on a four-person committee which was running the McCann Center under the supervision of Dean of Student Affairs Gerard Cox. Others on the committee were Crew Coach Larry Davis, Women's-Basketball Coach Pat.Torza and Assistant Athletic Director Dick Quinn. ' - x ' , - ,

"The administration realized that the decisions have to be made by only one person, not a committee," Goldman said. "The idea is to have someone down here who the staff can turn to for consultation on decisions."

Marist did interview five applicants for the permanent job, but chose to re-open the search. Goldman said he^vould remain as the interim AD until a permanent replacement was hired, but said he had "no idea" when that would be.

"I'll be'here just until they get someone full-time," Goldman said. "I'll probably be here until the end of the semester and then for some time into the spring.''

Marist gets Beckwith Tim Beckwith, a 6-4, 165-pound guard from Phoebus High

School in Hampton, Va., has signed a national letter of intent to play for the Marist men's basketball team next season. Beckwith is the first high school senior to commit to .Head Coach Matt Furjanic for the 1985-1986 season.

"To sign a player that you really want this early in the season is extremely good for the program, because it gives you the op­portunity to concentrate on filling your other needs," Furjanic said. "It is also important that Tim was impressed enough with Marist, both academically and athletically, that he was willing to sign early."

A starter for Phoebus High last season, Beckwith averaged 16 points and 9 rebounds per game on his way to being an All-League selection, as well as the league's second leading scorer.

Marist assistant Jim Todd first saw Beckwith play at the Five-Star Camp in Honesdale, Pa., this past summer.

"When I saw Tim play, I immediately saw him as the 6-4 guard we were looking for," Todd said. "He will definitely fit in­to our style of play."

Beckwith, who chose Marist over East Tennessee State and Virginia Commonwealth, will major in computer science.

8 Foxes named all-stars Eight Marist football and soccer players recently received all-

star recognition from their respective conferences. Four players from Head Coach Mike Malet's football squad

received first team honors on the Metropolitan Conference All-Star team. Three of the gridders were defensive standouts' Wayne Jackson (noseguard), Pete Moloney '(linebacker) and Franklin Davis (safety), while Sean Duffy (tackle) was the lone representative from the.offehsive unit. .

For Dr. Howard "Doc" Goldman's soccer team, four juniors received Tri-State Conference honors. Fullback Jim Bride and sweeper Mike Terwilliger were named to the first team, while sweeper Andy Ross and goaltender Bill Tholen received second team recognition. " • - •'•' ' ' - ' '• The kickers finished the year as one of the top ten Division One

teams in New York State: ' ' ' "

over two. minutes to go in the half. That was the signal. One moral victory had been won. :

I know what you're saying. How can some overweight, balding basketball coaching strip­ping a bit in front of thousands of people be so . thrilling? To understand this, you have to go back to two years ago, when the Foxes suffered a 30-point drubb­ing at Villanova. You see, in that game, Massimino never took off his coat and barely even left his seat after the game's first ten minutes.

To see that jacket discarded and Rollie throwing one of his patented tantrums was like wat­ching the coach conceding something to the opponent. "OK Marist, I get the point," one could almost hear him saying. "We'll respect you." All of a sud­den, Marist could just as well have been Georgetown, St. John's

or Syracuse. Nothing was to be taken' for granted. The rout was now a dogfight.

This kind of respect is one that is not handed out, but is earned. And the players more than earned it. It was Eggink's first half, which led Massimino to later tell Iona Head Coach Pat Kennedy that he never saw a player shoot better in' a single 20 minutes. It was Mark Shamley's buzzer-beating tap-in, giving Marist a 30-27 intermission lead and drawing flashbacks to the way North Carolina State beat Houston in the NCAA finals two years ago. And it was Ted Taylor's showtime rejection of a Dwayne "D-Train" McClain dunk at­tempt late in the contest.

Matt Furjanic got in on the act too. The Marist head coach wasn't about to let his players have all the fun. With Massimino

; giving more than an earful to one

of the officials, Furjanic decided to cross the dreaded "coaches box" and get in on the conversa-

\ tion. When Massimino spotted the serious violation, the Red Fox mentor cleverly reversed gears and backstepped into place before the official could turn his back. It was just a little something extra for the fans to revel in.

No, there wasn't a miracle finish to this one. No "Rocky," no Miami beating Nebraska for the national championship, no David beating Goliath. But for the fortunate ones who were in at­tendance, there will always be the sight of 400 Villanova fans sitting on their hands while over 3,000 Red Fox supporters cheered.

It will be remembered as the night Rollie Massimino took off his jacket in the McCann Center. It will be remembered as the night Division One basketball really ar­rived at Marist College.

Fox Trail

By Ian O'Connor

Marist- senior forward Ted Taylor is averaging around 10 re­bounds per game after three con­tests, and should be among the top twenty in the nation in that category when the first stats come out. Taylor finished 24 in the country last year after being among the top ten for a good por­tion of the season. Point guard Bruce 'Scooby' Johnson is the team" leadef'ih assists' once agairi, including a season-high of 10 in the Villanoya game. But the Waterbury, Conn, native also committed 6 turnovers in that contest, and shot only 10 per cent (1-10) from the.field. Steve Eg­gink is on a roll, as the 6-5 sw-ingman popped-in a combined 57 points in the season's first three games. But the hotter the senior gets, the tougher it is going to be for him to get his shot off. Everyone in the east" knows Eg­gink's range, so the box-and-ohe defense will be seen a lot from the

opposition. 7-3 Dutch import.Rik Smits brought the Iona crowd to its feet last Saturday with three aggressive slam-dunks. The freshman center poured in 14 points against the Gaels, in­cluding a few clutcrj turnarounds late in the second half. Mark Shamley is sporting an improved jumper this year to complement his rebounding skills and tough defense. The 6-6 sophomore had a

, few questionable calls go against •V.him at'Iona, causing him to foul

out. But the White Plains native has shown the intelligence and in­tensity that makes him a vital part of the Red Fox attack. Senior for­ward Gil Padilla has been the role player Head Coach Matt Furjanic needs. Padilla has been a steady performer on defense and on the boards, where he gives Taylor some help. The 6-7 hustler has also had some impressive blocks, including two swats on Nova's Harold Pressley and iona's Troy Truesdale. Drafton 'Bat' Davis and Alain Forestier have been

providing the necessary depth . from the bench. Davis has been especially impressive as a comple­ment to Johnson in the backcourt, and should be a bright spot for the Foxes in his four years, h e r e . . . F r e s h m a n guard / forward Mike Fielder served a one-game suspension, and he did., not suit- up at Iona. Furjanic termed the penalty a "suspension for academic reasons."...When told recently that The Circle mentioned him as' a top candidate for the then va­cant position as Marist's head basketball coach, St. Peter's Coach Bob Dukiet replied, "Oh, really?"... Miroslav Pecarski wants to get back into action. The 6-10 freshman, who broke a bone in his left foot last month, says he can't wait until'Dec. 19--the day the cast comes off. "I'm going to practice all through Christmas to get ready," Pecarski said. "I hope to be ready for St. Peter's (Dec. 29), and then the conference games."

Swim teams rwift, lose, tie by Nick Abbagliato

The Marist men's and women's swimming- teams opened their 1984-85 season last week against stiff competition and emerged from the first week with mixed results.

Both teams shifted from Divi­sion B to Division A in the Metropolitan Swimming and Div­ing Conference during the off season.

Because of this move, the men's team kicked off the campaign with three losses. Their first loss came at the hands of Montclair (N.J.) State College. The Red Foxes also fell to two top con­ference rivals-SUNY New Paltz and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point.

Men's Head Coach Larry Van Wagner cited the shift in divisions as the reason for the team's poor start. "As a-result of this move, our schedule has changed drastically and is by far more competitive than last year's," Van Wagner said.

The new teams Marist will face this year include SUNY Stony Brook, the Merchant Marine Academy, Queens College and St.

Peter's College. According to Van Wagner,

SUNY Stony Brook is the toughest of these teams since they are ranked first in the 21-team conference. "We feel we should beat the other new teams-St. Peter's and Queens-but we've already lost to Kings Point," Van Wagner said.

Although the team has started the season with a losing mark, Van Wagner said he is optimistic about the remainder of the season. "We are 0-3 right now, but we do have an opportunity to finish above .500 this season

. because there is a good chance we will win five out the next six meets," he said.

The women's squad adjusted a bit better, to their conference shift then the men's team during the first week of competition.

After opening the season with a loss to Montclair St., the swim­mers bounced back with two wins and one tie, including an 89-41 trouncing against the College of New Rochelle."

Jim Billesimo, women's head coach, noted the outstanding per­

formances of Debbie Noyes and co-captain Nancy Champlin against New Rochelle. Noyes swam to two personal best times in winning the 500 and 1000 meter freestyle events. Champlin, a junior from Scotia, N.Y., swam her best time in the 100 meter freestyle.

The women's squad features two new divers this year, accor­ding to Billesimo. "This should help us to do at least as well as last year's record of 5-2," Billesimo said. "Last year we finished sixth out of 13 teams without the help of any divers. This year, with the help of freshmen Desiree Genet and Maureen Mercer, we expect some much needed points from the diving events.

"Genet has a good chance of winning the one and three meter events in the conference cham­pionships and Mercer should be a finalist at the championships," Billesimo said.

The men's squad was scheduled tomeet Iona yesterday' while the women travel to Queens" College tommorow night.

Skaters fall By John Cannon

-After coming off a tough 3-2 loss to New Jersey Institute of Technology, the men's hockey team entered last night's game against Rutgers University with a 2-2 record on the season.

Despite outshooting N.J.I.T." by a 42-22 margin, the Foxes could not put the puck in the net. Senior co-captain Rob Trabulsi said that the team has come upon hard luck. - "We have been hitting alot of goalposts," he said, "and we just have not been getting the bounces going our way."

The lack of ice time is a conti­nuing problem for the hockey club, which has undergone" this particular problem in years past. The team does not have the necessary funds to skate regular­ly.

The Foxes' next home game will be next Wednesday night when the team skates against St. Francis College.

^JLurie's.recruiting method's are 'somewhat different from .those schools who lure athlete's with the hard sell. Without the benefit of athletic scholarships, he shows the school as it is and lets the pro­spective student-athlete see Marist as the average student would see it.' . -

"We have nothing.to hide," Lurie said. "I don't make any ap­pointments for anyone because if, you can't find someone you want to see in two days, then this is not a school you want to come to."

I This '-'as is" approach to Marist "was successful for Bren­nan of Mount Kusco, N.Y. He contacted Lurie first and Lurie's comparison of Marist with other schools • on , academics and athletics made a good impression.

Brennan said that the running program has "a lot of potential" and is similar to other Division I schools of the same size.

"Some people contacted us and we contacted some people," said Lurie. "We contacted people thatJ

we thought we had a realistic chance of getting, and we stayed on top of that."

He also said that the freshman gave the upperclassmen a sense of responsibility and gave them a chance to gain or defend a spot on the cross country team.

Lurie went on to say that the future success of the program depends on a combination of recruiting for track events that Marist does not now run and general runner development.

"We're looking • for the best possible athlete coming out of the not highest program," Lurie said.
