Housing cramps remain through 2nd month by Matt Croke

Eight weeks into the semester, more than 40 dorm rooms still have extra occupants because of over­crowding in campus housing.

Housing officials report 43 buildups in the dorms, a decrease of only nine since mid-September. In most cases, the buildups involve three freshmen living in a room designed for two students.

Six former buildups contained sophomores, who can opt to leave campus housing if the over­crowding is inconvenient.

Marist took in 809 freshmen this semester, the largest class in school history.

Tuning in to teamwork by Matt Croke

What was Dr Ruth Westheimer's former occupation before becom­ing a sex therapist, Stew Schantz and John Steffanci asked their listeners last week on WPDH's morning show.

Questions like this are just one of the ways that Schantz and Stef™ fanci use to try to get theHudson Valley up and going every weekday morning.

People use the show as a sort of alarm clock for their day, said Stef­fanci, the producer of the morning show. We do some segments at the same time each day to let people know it's time to get their day go­ing, he said.

Working as a team in radio is not as simple as it might seem.

"It took three and a half months to get the show moving," said Stef­fanci, "which is a relatively short period of time." You have to get the show moving fast because the audience won't be patient, he said.

Beginning a show like the mor­ning show is a hit or miss proposi­tion, said Steffanci.

A lot of consideration has to be given to the talents' ability and compatibility with each other, Stef­fanci said. "If you don't work well together you can't be number one," he said.

This fall, 11 of the 750 freshmen who applied for housing left almost immediately, said Steve Sansola, director of housing.

Sansola said the delay in eliminating the buildups cannot be avoided. However, he said he an­ticipates more freshmen withdraw­ing when midterms grades reach home.

"By the spring semester we should be at normal occupancy levels, with no buildups on cam-pus," said Sansola, who added that overcrowding is a problem faced by many colleges.

Sansola compared the housing operation to an airline, which

sometimes overbooks its flights in anticipation of cancellations.

Overcrowding has made the first semester more difficult for those freshmen involved, according to students in buildups. A lack of privacy, they said, is more of a pro­blem than a lack of space.

"Sharing a room with two other people suppresses your ability to do the things you like to do," said Ben Fried, a freshman Marian resident.

Students in buildup rooms after Sept. 28 received a refund of $175, or 15 percent of their room charge, unless they refused a chance to be relocated, said Sansola.

The freshmen in buildups were

chosen according to the date on which they paid their room deposit. The last ones to pay were put in buildups. The person with the earliest date of deposit in a room is the one given the chance to move when the opportunity arises, said Sansola.

Sophomores in buildups were chosen from those with the lowest priority points, said Sansola.

Meanwhile, 196, or ten percent of "campus housed" students, re­main at Canterbury Gardens, an apartment complex in Poughkeep­sie where Marist rents apartments to accommodate the overflow of

You can put two celebrities together who are great by themselves, but that doesn't mean they will be able to work well together in a two person show for­mat, agreed Schantz and Steffanci.

Schantz and Steffanci both have different personalities, they agreed.

"I've always been an egomaniac entertainer at heart," said Steffanci. Having dif­ferent interests and likes works well in the studio, he added. However, Schantz and Steffanci stay apart from each other.

"It's a necessity," said Steffanci. Steffanci started in radio doing

the news for WPDH and WEOK, which operate together/in the same building. As Steffanci did the news each day, he developed an on air repose with Schantz, who had been doing the morning show by himself

College to push public service by Ken Foye

A federal grant received by Marist during the summer will soon enable selected students to earn tui­tion credits for participating in volunteer community service.

The grant, awarded by the Fund for the Improvement of Post-secondary Education (FIPSE) of the U.S. Department of Education, will enable Marist to grant $500 scholarships each semester to students selected for the program.

The program will address the problem of rising college tuition costs, as well as lack of student v awareness of community and social affairs, said Philip Koshkin-Youritzin, who was hired as pro­ject coordinator by the Office of Student Affairs.

The Financial Aid Office deter­mines which students are eligible for the program. The office has listed 187 Marist freshmen as eligi­

ble for the program. Marist will fund scholarships for

12 of these students next semester, said Koshkin-Youritzin. In the future, student participation is pro­jected at 50 students for the spring 1989 semester. Marist will seek funds for the additional students from corporations and other private-sector sources.

Students participating in the pro­gram must show financial need, said Koshkin-Youritzin.

"12 students out of 180 students is only a beginning," said Assistant Dean of Students Deborah Bell, who will oversee the program. "The support we'll give to people coming in will make the program succeed."

Bell said the program will specifically include freshmen because of their outlook on their environment. "Most freshmen are involved on campus in internal things," she said. "Outside things

are very foreign to them." Students' lack of community

awareness is a nationwide problem, said Gerard A. Cox, vice president for student affairs. "Students tend to be focused on careers," he said, "and little attention is paid to the community around them."

Students granted scholarships next semester will volunteer 10 to 15 hours each week, said Koshkin-Youritzin. The students will work as teachers' assistants, individual tutors, and recreational assistants in City of Poughkeepsie schools, said Koshkin-Youritzin.

Marist applied for a two-year community service grant, said Bell. The receiving of funds for the se­cond year, she said, is contingent on the success of the program dur­ing the first year.

The Office of Student Affairs prepared the application for the grant with assistance from Mary Ellen Czerniak, director of cor­porate and foundation relations.

students requesting housing. At the start of thesemester, 203 students were assigned to Canterbury.

The seven that left Canterbury either requested to be moved on campus or withdrew from housing, said Sansola.The 196 remaining at Canterbury did not request to be moved on campus.

The overcrowding in the dorms does not violate fire or health regulations, said Sansola.

Marist requires all freshmen to live on campus unless they com­mute or reside with relatives in the area. Freshmen must remain in buildups until vacancies occur.

Fire alarm investigated

by Mike Grayeb A Townhouse fire alarm set off

by burnt toast Sunday night has created questions about the depen­dability of the fire alarm system and the number of fire code viola­tions in campus housing:

Marist Security and a fire alarm company that wired part of the alarm system on campus are in­vestigating why the system failed to automatically notify, the Fairview Fi re Department Sunday after smoke in Townhouse A-6 set off an alarm around 5:30 p.m.

Also, Fairview fire officials have given the college until this Sunday to correct more, than 20 fire code violations they found in the townhouse when responding to the alarm.

On Monday, Joe Waters, direc­tor of security, met with Town of Poughkeepsie Fire Inspector Don Murphy and Deputy Fire Chief Dick Dormeyer to discuss why part of the underground wiring system connected to the alarms failed to_ operate.

The fire alarm system in all cam­pus buildings has two underground lines that run from each alarm to Donnelly Hall.

During Sunday's incident, one of the lines automatically triggered an alarm box in the Marist Security office to notify Security personnel, who called the Fairview Fire Department, said Waters.

The other line, believed by fire officials to have failed, is suppos­ed to automatically send an alarm signal from phone lines in Donnelly to an alarm control center in Dut­chess County. There, a computer is supposed to automatically direct the signal to the appropriate coun­ty fire department.

Fire officials say they never received the automatic alarm from the control center and instead had to rely on the phone call from Marist Security.

However, officials at Sentry Fire Alarms, the company that install­ed the wiring that runs to the con­trol center, said they are unsure whether the system actually failed.

Sentry, based in New City, N.Y., has an automatic daily check of the system and found no problems with it before or after the smoke alarm, according to Kris Skinner, Sentry office manager. Also, a company service technician tested the system on campus Monday and judged it fully operational, she said.

for a year. That made it easier to begin

working together on the show, said Steffanci.

"It's much more exciting to do it this way, and it's much more work. We made a commitment to expand the show when we became a team. I couldn't do what we do, alone," said Schantz, who is also and adjunct professor of broad­casting at at Marist.

What makes a good team on the air is not something you can ex­plain, said Steffanci. "It's the most intangible part of FM radio today. It doesn't make sense."

It has something to do with the time of day, the talent and the au­dience, said Steffanci. It's a goal of most radio talent to be part of a team but it's also a high pressure position, he added.

AtTfirst they had to labor.at con­versation* and- banter, with^each other and listeners, said Schantz^ Reading eye contact wrong caused them to "step on each other" while they tried to carry on dialogue, but now talking on the air and reading each other's cues is second nature, he said.

In radio.if you have a good mor­ning show, you should be one of the top three rated stations in your area, said Schantz, who runs all the equipment and selects the music for the show.

The morning show sign on song was played a minute late recently and a listener called imediately wanting to know what happened, said Steffanci.

People have morning rituals, said Steffanci. They eat, shower, shave and plan their day in the morning.

Schantz and Steffanci have become a part of that ritual for their Hudson Valley listeners.

Alarm-Continued from page 1

Waters, on the other hand, said he is certain the system did not work at the time of the alarm.

"We know there was a malfunc­tion," he said. "County head­quarters did not get the signal."

Regarding the fire code viola­tions officials found in the townhouse, Dormeyer listed infrac­tions including the illegal use of ex­tension cords, homemade electrical junction boxes and a severed lamp cord that was held together with Scotch tape.

Other violations included ex­cessive garbage buildup in a barrel, approximately 200 sq. feet of paper covering a wall and an alcohol cabinet partially obstructing the

. walkway to a stairwell. Rich Sabol, a 20-year-old junior

and resident of Townhouse A-6, said he and his housemates have already corrected the violations in anticipation of the inspection by the fire department next week.

Marist poli sci students to follow '88 vote by Dse Martin.

Lee Miringoff was shaving one morning when suddenly he heard his voice on television's "Good Morning America" program dur­ing a story about the Marist In­stitute for Public Opinion.

That was in 1984 when MIPO conducted its statewide polling of New York democrats during the presidential campaigns. "The Marist poll was really a centerpiece in the New York Primary and we attracted national coverage because

Blood donors brave needle to give gift

Lauren Arthur

Imagine being in a hospital equipped room with the best medical technology and staff available, yet nothing can help you. What is sounding like an episode of "The Twilight Zone," is actual­ly reality if there is a blood shortage.

Recently, Brian Wencel, a junior from Cool Spring, N.Y. faced a similar situation. A family member was in the hospital and had trou­ble getting blood.

Making a lasting impression about the effects of a blood shor­tage, Wencel donsted for his fifth time last Thursday at the blood drive held at Marist.

Sigma Phi Epsilon organized the blood drive which brought 140 doners forth to help Hudson Valley Blood Services and Red Cross to replenish a constantly dwindling supply.

Blood Drive Chair Person Mike Hoffman, has arranged the drive for the past three semesters. Since 1979 the fraternity has been runn­ing this community service.

Doners signed up in the cafeteria or just walked in, doubling the total of last year's drive. "It's been very successful," stated Hoffmann.

Doners left the Fireside Lounge with more than red balloons and "Be nice to me, I gave blood to-

of the accuracy of our polls," Mir­ingoff, director of MIPO, said. .

Next semester Miringoff will be teaching two courses which will concentrate on MIPO's polls and

, the 1988 presidential races. The courses, "Political Parties

and Pressure Groups" and "Survey Research and Political Data Analysis," attempt to incor­porate the activities of MIPO in a more meaningful way for the students, Miringoff said. "It real­ly gives Marist students from various majors, a front row seat in

the political process," he said. According to Miringoff, MIPO

is mainly a student run organiza­tion which conducts political polls, both presidential and statewide, on candidates and issues, while pro­viding learning experiences for students. -

"Political Parties and Pressure Groups" is designed for all students, allowing them to play an active role in following the presidential campaigns, and to study the theory of elections while examining concrete information,

according to Miringoff. . "Survey Research and Political

Data Analysis," the course which attracted the television cameras four years ago, is designed for a smaller group of students who are interested in political polling, Mir­ingoff said.

Miringoff said that the media coverage gave the students a responsibility which placed them in an important role because of the at­tention directed at them.

MIPO's polls have gained recognition in such publications as

day," stickers. They left knowing they helped someone, although chances are they will never know who.

"There is a serious need," said freshman Bernadette Reidy, as she sat in the Fireside Lounge wearing her donation sticker.

"As long as I know I'm healthy and others need it," said Reidy confident about her first time, "I'll give it."

The cause is for common good, while donation reasons differ. Some like just to know they did something for someone. One doner admitted that peer pressure got her

started. Julie Daigle, a junior from Fort

Kent, Maine, has been donating since high shool. "The first time I was really nervous, but everyone was doing it," said Daigle.

Of course, there are those who just can't bear the thought of do­ing it. "I'd pass out as soon as I saw the needle," confided a girl to her friend quickly walking past the blue hospital screens.

While donating blood may not be the pleasant feeling in the world, many are willing to overlook it for the greater good.

Senior, Anna O'Brien, was ap­prehensive before her turn,but realized the blood she was pro­viding was going to be well used. "The thought of a needle sticking in your arm isn't always a treat," stated O'Brien .as numerously as the situation would.let her. "It's uncomfortable, but it's a chance to do something for someone who needs help."

Perhaps when debating whether or not to donate some blood, think of the motto made famous by The Red Cross, "Give the gift of life — give blood."

The joys of being a 'temp': It's a fast way to a fast buck

by Kristine Manning

On her first day on the job, Tara Doherty found herself standing before a Holiday Inn door with a "do not disturb" sign.

Doherty, a Marist senior, had received a temporary job assignment as an assistant in a foreign rug auction. But when she arrived at the designated warehouse, she was met in the parking lot by a man who took her name and informed her that she was to go to the Holiday Inn.

She did get that far, but the door and the sign were too much.

"I felt like such a whimp, but I wasn't about to enter a stranger's room, especially one with a 'do not disturb' sign on it," she said.

Like many people who have spent time as temporary workers — better known as temps — Doherty, a communication arts major from Brentwood, N.Y., found the work to be a good way to make some quick money and pick up experience — and occasionally the source of a few adventures.

Temporary agencies hire employees to work anywhere from one day to one year. Applicants are required to take tests relating to the field of their desired employment as well as pass a screening test.

Doherty's next job proved to be much more rewarding. She was sent to Gull Inc. where she was hired for one week but ended up being asked to remain for the rest of the summer.

Doherty's second experience is not an un­common one for people hired through tem­porary agencies. Sharon Chabinca, owner of Forbes temporary agency in Poughkeepsie, said that 80% of all temps get hired to stay on permanently.

At Forbes, applicants are required to fill out an application and take tests in typing, basic math, and vocabulary. Employees can make anywhere between $4.50 to $6.00 an hour.

Chabinca said the temporary agencies compete intensely in the Hudson Valley. "In this area there are more jobs than there are people to fill them," she said. "Most peo­ple who are available are working." In Poughkeepsie alone there are approximate­ly 12 agencies, she said.

Chabinca said that temporary agencies are popular because they offer flexible hours and experience. "A lot of people come to us because they are not sure what they want to do," she said. "Moving from job to job gives them a view of different atmospheres."

Denise Shea is just the type Chabinca is talking about. Shea, a senior finance major from Brooklyn, went to Cosmopolitan Agency because she wasn't sure what she wanted to do after graduation.

"I wanted to experience what it would be like doing work in my field," she said. "I had to find out what I wanted to do and what I didn't want to do."

Shea worked at the American Stock Ex­change and Dillon and Reed and ended up spending most of the summer at Solomon Brothers where she became assistant to an analyst in the accounting department.

But experience isn't all that temps receive. Sometimes there is also a feeling of resent­ment from co-workers. Shea was a victim of this her first day at Solomon Brothers.

"At nine in the morning someone told me what I was supposed to do, and then no one spoke to me the rest of the day, not even a hello," she said.

Doherty also received the cold shoulder

treatment. "I worked at Gull all summer and they treated the temps like we had a disease," she said. "They gave us all the menial chores that they themselves didn't want to do," she said.

Doherty remembers walking into a bar and grill for lunch one afternoon and the only people there were full-time employees from Gull. When Doherty and the other temps walked in the fellow employees turned and looked and not one of them said hello.

But Joanne Barone, a Dutchess Temp working at Marist, didn't have such ex­periences. "You have to be friendly and out­going or else everyone is going to treat you like you're a stone taking up space in a chair," she said.

Barone, who graduated from SUNY Binghampton in 1987, has been temping for only four months but has been to eight places, five of them at Marist.

She went to the Dutchess Temp Agency because she wanted to make money fast and knew that temps are always in demand. Barone, who said she really liked being a temp because she met alot of people and because she gets bored easily, will begin her permenant job at Morgan Guarantee as Financial Analyst next week.

But secretarial work is not all that temp agencies offer. At McCabe Personnel, jobs range from unskilled labor to professional accounting. Temps can make anywhere from $4 to $50 an hour.

And the temps are not the only ones mak­ing the money. Temp agencies can charge a company $12 per hour and only give their temp $6.

Then why go through a temp agency? Barone says she has the answer: "It's fast money for lazy.people."

The New York Times, The New York Post, Newsweek, and USA Today.

Miringoff said he hopes to pro­vide a unique educational ex­perience for students by utilizing the various activities of the campus and the community, such as intern­ships, seminars and the MIPO polls. He said, "That kind of ex­perience is what many faculty at Marist are trying to find, using a combination of classroom theory, application of concrete examples, and community (activities)."

Marist team gets kicks behind bars by Stacey McDonnell

The competition was stiff. The two teams battled to win the soc­cer game. The final score was in favor of the opposing team (4-0), but the losing team was richer for the experience.

Why? The game was a contest between a select group of players from the Marist College Intramurel Soccer Team and the State team from the Fishkill Correctional Facility.

But the game was not solely played to determine a winner. It was played to provide each team with a learning experience that neither would forget.

Larry Collins, the assistant recreational supervisor of the facili­ty, initiated discussions about such an event in September, according to Bob Lynch, assistant director of activities.

Lynch, who acts as a Uason bet­ween Marist and the prison, along with Mateo Velasquez, a sophomore from New York City, organized the team to play three games against the inmates.

The program was originally designed to give the inmates a chance to work on socialization skills and to give the community an idea of what goes on in a prison, Lynch said.

Outside teams have been coming into the prison for such contests for the past 20 years, according to Col­lins, but this was the first time a team from Marist went against the inmates.

Lynch expressed satisfaction with the way things have worked out.

"My goal was to show the students the essence of life outside of the college community," he said. "The players fulfilled this goal and did even more."

According to Lynch, the team­mates "psyched" themselves for the game. They were able to forget about the barbed wire that enclos­ed the field and put aside their ap­prehensions about the inmates, he said.

Even though the members of the Marist team had never played together before, Velasquez said, they demonstrated strong teamwork.

But the team from Fishkill boasted their talent and skill as well.

It was not the talent of the in­mates that impressed Marist the most, however, but the amount of respect given to them by the Fishkill team, according to team members.

"We were respected as a team," Velasquez said, "There was no hard play and no hard feelings."

"I 'm looking foward to going back," said freshman John Zanni of Danbury, Conn., "I hope the program will continue."

Crowded House

Don't dream it's over. It's time Marist began taking the housing crisis seriously. With

more than two-thirds of the fall semester behind us, nearly 150 freshmen are still living in "temporary" housing situations.

"Buildups" — Marist's word for overcrowding — were first implimented as a temporary solution to overcrowding in freshman dorms. Overcrowding occurs when more applicants than expected decide to enroll in a given freshman class.

The college also "overbooks" housing, predicting that a cer­tain percentage of freshmen will drop out before the end of the first semester.

Best estimates now indicate that the number of buildups won't decrease significantly until next semester. But there are no guarantees.

Although predictions can never be 100 percent accurate, the fact remains that the college, year after year, accepts far more students than the housing office can accomodate.

The result is a situation that is completely unacceptable. In most buildups, three freshmen live in a room built for two. That means two desks for three people and severly limited living space.

Currently, students in buildups recieve only a 15 percent rebate of housing costs, a small compensation for a great inconvenience.

There is only one fair solution to the problem: Marist should refund 100 percent of housing costs to students in buildups until they are given the option to move into normal rooms.

Such financial compensation may seem harsh — costing the col­lege $1,130 per-freshman in each buildup — but it's the least that should be done for students who have been short-changed.

And the motivation of losing approximately $48,000 this semester should serve to prevent the recurrence of the problem with next year's freshmen.

The solution is not easy to accept. But as the housing crisis grows every year, so must the severity of preventative measures..

Adjusting to college in freshman year can be tough enough without having to deal with deplorable housing conditions.

Freshmen deserve better.

Letters

Not narrow

To the Editor: This is a letter in response to Far-

din Sanai's article "A Narrow View of the World.'?

.'I

Fardin Sanai states that Marist College students have "a lack of wisdom and insight into worldly issues and concerns" because many students at Marist have not travell­ed abroad to other countries to fur­ther expand on their education. He believes experience is the key to real learning.

Well, excuse me Mr. Sanai! Some of us here at Marist really can't travel the globe like you have to enhance our education. Do you expect us to travel the world instead of attending high school or college which is part of the American tradition and experience? How can you say that students at Marist come up short with their awareness of wordly issues?

Have you talked to the entire campus? Have you attended cam­pus debates and lectures concern­ing current issues? Have you seen

some of the courses being offered at Marist? Have you checked the number of subscriptions that students have to The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Time, etc?

Besides Mr. Sanai, there are op­portunities for students to further expand their knowledge through such programs as co-ops, intern­ships and even abroad programs.

I personally have an internship with admissions that I hold as a vital part of my education at Marist and I also have two good friends stu­dying abroad in Australia for a year.

So before you go saying that students are not aware of the world around them I suggest you check the college, in which you have been so fortunate to attend, and see what programs that Marist has to offer which hundreds of students have been using since the college first opened in 1929.

Parking lot blues by Mercinth Brown

Has this ever happened to you? On the morning after the first night of winter parking regulations, you awake to find your match box violated. Yes, your car has been marred by an ugly, orange warn­ing sticker. Angered, you com­mence to peel it away, but to no avail the orange sticker turns into a white map that seems to be per­manently glued to the drivers side of your window.

The policy of putting orange warning stickers on automobiles that are illegally parked is one that has gone unchallenged for too long. Admittedly, I might have overlooked the importance of this issue had it not been so salient. However, the problem is much larger than a 3"x 5" sticker. Winter parking policies evidently lack something to be desired.

For those of us who live on cam­pus, it is becoming increasingly dif­ficult to find overnight parking space. The campus population is steadily increasing/ as the ad-, ministration admits • larger freshman classes each fall. This ex­pansion has caused problems in housing. However, little thought has been given to the obvious. We are running out of parking space.

Security states clearly that in order to facilitate snow removal during the winter weather months students are not allowed to park overnight in McCann, Lowell Thomas Center, the first three rows of Benoit and the first eight rows on the south/east side of Cham-pagnat parking lot. This leaves only 12 rows of parking space to be shared by residents of Champag-nant, Benoit and Gregory. As the problem worsens, more residents will either be towed or ticketed because there is no space available.

Surely it is unfair to penalize a resi­dent because there is inadequate space.

Now.concerning those orange stickers. First, the parking regula­tions memorandum that the entire campus (except freshmen) received last September states only that violators will be ticketed or .ul tow­ed. There was no mention of an orange sticker.

In addition.there is no way to en­sure that the sticker policy will be .enforced with uniformness because students work for security and have power to issue tickets. Human nature dictates that some of these students will bypass cars that belong to their friends and prey on others.

Security has certain rules as to how a sticker should be placed on a car. Security tells its people that the sticker should not block the driver's view. I believe that it would be quite difficult for a six-foot in­dividual to determine what would block the view of a five-foot in­

dividual and vise versa. Finally, it is quite difficult to

take these stickers off without scratching the window to some degree. Why should anyone be sub­ject to this. I believe the policy of putting orange stickers on car win­dows should be repealed.

In conclusion, I would like to of­fer a few alternatives to the present parking regulations. It is important that adequate parking facilities be made available to campus residents. I suggest that the rear section of the Mccann parking lot be made available for overnight parking along with a section of Lowell Thomas. This would ensure overnight parking for a larger number of students.

I appreciate the efforts made by the Office of Safety and Security to maintain order. However, I also believe that it is within the interest of the entire community to speak out when there are obvious short­comings in policy.

Uncle Ron's legacy: The Reagan Doctrine As we approach the closing years

of the Reagan Administration, we can see that Ronald Reagan and the conservative movement have forever altered the landscape of American political debate. The landmark achievement of Ronald Reagan in the field of foreign policy has been the Reagan Doctrine.

Following in the footsteps of his illustrious predecessors, Reagan has promulgated a cogent and workable thesis which can help make the world safe for democracy. It is a logical progres­sion of history — the Monroe Doc­trine, the Roosevelt Corrolary, the Truman Doctrine, the Kennedy Doctrine, and now the Reagan Doctrine.

Going beyond the inadequate policies of containment, which doomed the people of Hungary and Czechoslovakia to Leninist slavery, the Reagan Doctrine seeks to liberate nations from the bondage of totalitarian communism by giv­ing the citizens of these nations the means to throw off the Communist yoke.

The American Left and its spokesman, the Liberal Media, have chosen the Contras and Nicaragua as the ideological bat­tleground most convenient for trashing the Reagan Doctrine. They seek to portray Nicaragua as the ideal example of how the Reagan Doctrine works.

In fact, the Contras in Nicaragua are the worst example in today's world of the Reagan Doctrine. They just barely qualify as pertain­ing to the Reagan Doctrine in that they are staunchly anti-Communist and willing to fight and die for freedom regardless of outside sup­port. Their less than auspicious qualities are bases in foreign na­

tions, disunity of command, lack of organization and fluctuating support.

The main Contra bases are in Honduras. This makes them vulnerable to the whims of the Honduran government as well as separating them from the people that they must rely on for support. There are also so many different Contra groups that do not cooperate that the actions of one Contra group are often held up as characteristic of them all.

When a Nicaraguan village is at­tacked the American media may say that the "Contras" did it. Who are they talking about? Was it the FDN, KISAN, FARN, or CON which itself includes the Nicaraguan Private Sector in Exile, Democratic Nicaraguan Workers' Solidarity, Union of Nicaraguan Workers and Peasants, Nicaraguan Social Christian Party in Exile, Social Democratic Movement of Nicaragua, and the Independent Liberal Party in Exile?

Any one of these groups could have carried out the operation, but all the American people get to hear is that the "Contras" did it. It might not even be a Contra group that the U.S. is funding. The bias of the Liberal Media contributes to the general confusion and so undermines the Contra cause. For these reasons it can surely be seen that the Nicaraguan Resistance is less than an ideal example of how the Reagan Doctrine works.

There are however countless good examples of the Reagan Doc­trine at work. These include Savim-bi's UNITA in Angola, RENAMO in Mozambique, the Mujahideen in Afghanistan, the Karen rebels in Burma, the EPLF in Ethiopia, and of course the successful liberation of Grenada.

All. of the aforementioned have bases within their own nations,

some controlling sizable portions thereof. They are in Savimbi's words, "one with the people." Savimbi, like many others at his time received his revolutionary training in the People's Republic of China.

He says "From Mao and the Communists, I learned how to fight and win a guerrilla war. I also learned how not to run an economy or a nation." What Savimbi learn­ed was Mao . Tse-tung's own method of guerrilla war. He follows Mao's revolutionary ideas while at the same time rejecting the Marxist ideology of Mao. UNITA, as well as many of the aforemen­tioned groups, establishes schools and hospitals in occupied territory and attempts to guarantee freedom of religion and trade.

These anti-Communist movements are also doing quite

"Being female on this campus isn't all that easy. I mean, I'm not a radical feminist or anything, but sometimes I like to think and talk about things other than who's go­ing out with whom or the latest nail polish. I'm not an air-head, and I guess I need to take myself more seriously."

The Counseling Center (Yvonne Poley and Roberta Amato) is working with interested women students to organize a DISCUSSION (rap session) GROUP

We are leaving the "agenda" flexible, but have to come up with some topics/areas we'd like to explore:

-Relationships - Friendships: how much do I need them? how do I handle them?

-Coping with Role-Conflict: as student, career person, girlfriend, and daughter

well, considering the Soviets pour much more cash into the regions than we do. Why is it then the we do not hear about these wars of na­tional liberation? The Contras get one helluva lot more press than RENAMO or the EPLF. I'll even wager that the majority of the peo­ple reading this don't even know that there is a civil war going on in Ethiopia much less know what EPLF stands for.

Why is this? It is the result of the American Left subverting the cause of democracy. They are afraid that if the U.S. backs an anti-Communist resistance movement, the Soviets will escalate their in­volvement and the U.S. will be tugged down the slippery slope to that dreaded fear of all Lefties — "another Vietnam."

They feel that seriously taking the Soviets to task on chemical

weapons use in Afghanistan will ruin the new pseudo-detente and imperil arms control.

The fact is that the U.S. can no longer ignore the fate of millions of oppressed people living in Gulag-like conditions. The people of Afghanistan refuse to have their nation raped by the Soviet occupa­tion forces and collectivist totalitarianism.

Despite being ignored by most of the world as just a minor Soviet human rights problem the Afghan people have waged their Islamic holy war for almost a decade against the Soviety juggernaut

We can roll back the tide of the Communist menace — Write your congressman and tell him that you won't stand for totalitarianism in any nation.

INXS spells s-u-c-c-e-s-s by Derek Simon

I never thought that INXS would become the household name that they have over the past couple of years. But then again, I never thought they were more than just slightly cool.

Their native Australia isn't ex­actly known as a rock and roll "hotbed" and with good reason. Save the Hoodoo Gurus, I can't think of a helluva lot of notewor­thy music that's come from down under, not counting the Bee Gees and all that did for our society in the late '70s.

But INXS are indeed a good bunch. They may not rock with the conviction of the aforementioned Gurus, but they do groove, as evi­dent on their latest Atlantic LP, "Kick."

INXS had quite a task on their hands when they converged on their beloved Rhinoceros Recor­dings studio in Sydney to record the

follow-up to their smash "Listen Like Thieves" album. That LP was by far their largest success to date in America, reaching platnium status and establishing the band as an album radio favorite.

Let me say right off the bat that "Kick" is a good record. It does, however, bear much more of a resemblence to earlier INXS albums, particularly "The Swing," than the "Listen Like Thieves" ef­fort. That is to say that the songs on "Kick" aren't quite as im­mediate as those on Thieves and re­quire more of a keen perception of rhythm than of melody. *

"Kick" doesn't contain a "This Time" (the first single from the Thieves collection which failed to generate the excitement of the next single, "What You Need"), for in­stance. You won't find a chorus nearly that catchy anywhere on the record.

But on the whole, "Kick" works as an album. The multi-platnium

alternative top 10

by Jeff Nicosia

This week, we try something new.

That's right; your column of col­umns is changing. Instead of writing about 10 things (music, food, bars, whatever) that I find amusing, this week I'm going to list 10 people from Marist and the sur­rounding free world that I find remotely interesting. Please note: These views do not represent those of the editors of this paper — in fact, I try to keep it that way.

1. Paulina Porizkova — Model: To me, she is the perfect woman. Absolutely stunning. Actually, she's crazy about me, but I just can't find the time for her.

2. Rik Smits — Marist student: I call Rik a Marist student for good reason. Rik is the most famous per­son to ever attend Marist. But what I think is unique about him is his humility. He's not an egotistical nerd.

3. Robert Christgau — Music columnist, The Village Voice: It seems that there is no band this man hasn't heard of. He writes very consicely and dosen't mince words. Plus he likes The Dickies.

4. Joe O'Brien — Marist stu­dent^): The King of Mess. Many a man has patterned his life after Joe. What is it about a guy that dosen't comb his hair that attracts women?

5. Billy Coleman — Marist graduate, part-time D.J.: When Billy is in the mood there isn't a club D.J. in the world that can rival him. He spins his version of new wave dance music the third Thurs­day of every month at Berties.

6. Robert Plant — Singer: I like Plant, and not just because I love Zeppelin. He's a surviver, a man

that has made it through the war with his originality and energy in­tact. I wish I could say the same about Jimmy Page.

7. Albert Stridsberg — professor of advertising: I know this is pro­bably shocking the hell out of everyone, (especially Al, seeing that we haven't been on the best of terms) — but I've got to admit, I actually learned a lot in his classes. If you can figure out what the heck he's talking about, you might ac­tually learn something.

8. Mr.French — ' 'A Family Af­fair:" Sebastian Cabot was cool. He was the quintessential Englishman — and in case you haven't- noticed — quite a cult figure. Higgins (Magnum P.I.) has been known to pray to the "Mr. French Shrine," located between 5th and 6th Avenue in Las Vegas.

9. Willie Randolph — second baseman, New York Yankees: Forget what everyone says about Mario Cuomo, Willie should be the next president. Willie excudes a feeling of quiet confidence, no small accomplishment on "Team Turmoil."

10. EUeen Murphy — "The Red Rider," Marist student: You've gotta love a chick who can talk like the devil and move her scalp without using her hands. I don't care if she does like to knock peo­ple over on the dance floor, she's still my favorite APEX Tech graduate.

LAMENESS (this should be fun): Daryl Strawberry, Paul McCartney (since about 1975), Hitler, people who don't offer to buy me beers, the person responsi­ble for the decision to take "Lite Brite" off the market, John David­son, Those Amazing Animals. 'Nuff said. Later.

success of "Kick" is virtually in the bag.

Consisting almost entirely of writing collaborations between lead vocalist Michael Hutchence and keyboard whiz Andrew Farriss,

Of sound mind

"Kick" opens with stark, danceable "Guns in the Sky" and then directly proceeds to do a com­plete musical about-face with pop-flavored "New Sensation."

The switch is so typical of Kick

that it seems a part of the record's grand scheme.

There are a few very traditional INXS pieces on "Kick," namely "Devil Inside," "Wild Life," "Calling all Nations" and the first single from the album "Need You Tonight" that feature their trademark quirky guitar rhythms and originate from a single riff. There are also a few surprises, like the near-ballad "Never Tear Us Apart" and the striking rendition of the blues classic "The Loved One."

"Mystify," far and away the album's best track, is remarkable in its immediacy in establishing a mood. Its textured piano is a nice change from the synthesizers that dominate the record.

More gems like this might assure INXS of long-lasting crediblity and allow them to shed their current "fad" status.

What is most disturbing about "Kick" is that the record says vir­tually nothing. INXS, particularly frontman Hutchence, are made to seem shallow.

"There's something about you, girl, that makes me sweet," sings Hutchence in "Need You Tonight." Walt Whitman he is not.

Perhaps a future in Hallmark cards, Mike?

INXS are in. No doubt about it. They've shed their alternative status to cross over to the world of teenage pop stardom.

Must-sees' live up to billing by Ken Hommel

Midterm break provided the op­portunity for me to catch up on the two "must-see" movies of the season. So, what better to follow a week of tests than a weekend double feature of screaming and sarcasm?

I assume I'm one of the latecomers in seeing "Fatal Attrac­tion" since it was released last month. If the unanimous raves haven't provoked you to see it yet, get on line for tickets now. This is a film experience that comes along very rarely.

Director Adrian Lyne ("9 1/2 Weeks") crafts a steamy, suspenseful, thought-provoking adult thriller that audiences should be talking about for a long time. The camera work intensely roller-coasters from the warm family life of Michael Douglas and Anne Ar­cher to the affair scenes between Douglas and Glenn Close to the psychotic confrontations that follow. Even if you don't jump out of your seat during "Fatal Attrac­tion," you will if Lyne doesn't receive an Oscar for his magnetic direction.

Glenn Close should also be preparing an acceptance speech. Her frenzied portrayal of Douglas' uncompromising mistress will have you screaming for her blood along with him. All of the performances, including that of the little girl who played Douglas' and Archer's daughter, are as flawless as the direction.

Fans might also want to look in­to a behind-the-scenes look at one

" scene from "Fatal Attraction" in this month's Premiere Magazine. It must have been difficult choosing only one scene to cover from this would-be classic.

Whereas "Fatal Attraction" grabs you, "The Princess Bride" demands your attention through subtle wit and clever dialogue. I've been waiting for this one for awhile considering that Rob Reiner's previous films ("This is Spinal Tap," "The Sure Thing" and "Stand By Me") have given him some track record.

down in front

The movie requires more atten­tion than I expected. It's Monty Python- like humor makes -the story of a princess taken from true love unique from most comedies. And, the cast creates magical characters each with lines rich in humor and satire.

Although the laughs are often laced with sarcasm, "The Princess Bride" holds its ground without becoming a farce like the

"Airplane" genre. You have to keep your eyes and ears open but some laughs are everything you could hope for. Billy Crystal's few minutes as Miracle Max are memorably hilarious while Wallace Shawn, Mandy Patinkin and even wrestler Andre the Giant are riotous in kidnapping the beautiful princess played by newcomer Robin Wright.

To bring this medieval fantasy to identifiable surroundings, Peter Falk narrates as a modern-day grandfather telling his ill grandson the story of the Princess Bride. Falk says this story is from an era "when television was called books." Reiner delivers beautiful cinematography, hilarious perfor­mances and a unique tale recalling a time when movies were called films.

Should Marist install condom vending machines on campus?

by Alan Tener

Yolanda Lynch, sophomore: "Definitely. Because Marist students should learn to be respon­sible adults. Installing condom ven­ding machines would encourage safe sex."

Eric Hernando, freshman: "The students of Marist, as in every col­lege, are sexually active... and safe sex suggests the use of condoms and the like. The sale of condoms to the students is a vital component to the safe sex' cause."

Dan Aja, junior: "Sure, with the amount of AIDS cases increasing among heterosexuals, Marist should make a smart move and in­stall (the machines). Marist has nothing to lose, and they'll pro­bably make a quick buck."

The devil and Mr. Stygian Editor's note: Don Reardon is

on special assignment in Guam. Murray Stygian has agreed to write Cheap' Leisure suit this week.

by Murray Stygian

Reardon wrote about his ex­perience in heaven after a kayak ac­cident last week. He didn't mention that I was in the tandem kayak with him. I died too.

I wasn't so lucky. I went to hell. It was hot. I didn't like it. The Devil met me at the front

door. He grabbed me by the hair and

threw me into the back of his 1979 Camaro. The craft had big, pink fuzzy dice hanging from the rear view mirror. I knew I was in hell.

"Who are you?" I badgered. "I've got lots of names," he

said. "You can call me Beezlebub, Anti-Christ, Lucifer, Asmodeous or even Prince of Darkness, but most of my friends call me Lennie."

"Well, Lennie," I said with some regard for my own well be­ing, "Where are we headed?"

As Lennie turned around I notic­ed that he assumed the shape of Telly Savalas (of Kojak fame).

I screamed, "Please, oh dear God, rid me of this hell-born chastisement."

God answered: "No." Lennie pulled up to his house.

Again he dragged me by the hair into his duplex.

"Lennie, oh Lennie, — What have I done to deserve this most malignant penology?" I asked.

"What? Jesus H. Christ, will you speak English!" he screamed in the thickest of Staten Island accents.

"Oh, sorry — Why am I here?" I said.

"Murray," he said as he looked down and put his hand to my shoulder, "You're a jerk."

"Oh." Lennie tied me down to a movie

theater seat in his living room. I couldn't get comfortable. I could never get comfortable in movie theater seats. He knew this.

Lennie then assumed the shape of Captain Stubing from the Love Boat.

Out of nowhere the whole cast of the Love Boat came out and each licked their index finger and stuck it in my left ear.

"No," I screamed, "I hate wet willies; I really do...Ahhhhhh!"

Lennie seemed to know about everything I hated.

"Now for some real fun," he said.

I began to sweat. What could be worse than wet willies?

Lennie wheeled in a television set with a VCR. He clicked in a 120 minute cassette of "Murder She Wrote" re-runs. I cried.

"After this I have three more cassettes of "Different Strokes" re­runs," Lennie screamed.

Beyond my most frantic nightmares I never imagined hell

could be so horrible. I couldn't close my eyes because

he propped them open with

toothpicks. Lennie knew his craft well.

I was a broken man after the re­runs.

"Murray, why don't we go out to a bar?" Lennie said as he assum­ed the shape of Kim Alexis.

I was skeptical, but not stupid. "Lennie, you are the most

beautiful woman I have ever seen," I said.

"Well then, lets go," he said in a seductive.voice.

Lennie drove naked. I was

pleased. I was relaxed by the time we

reached "Hades Pit," a quaint tavern on the outscurts of Hell.

Out of nowhere I was struck in the ear by a slush ball.

As I knelt down, tears flowing mind you, I reflected on my life.

Could I, Murray Stygian, have been that much of a jerk? Okay, I ran over a few squirrels on route 9,1 used hair gel a few times, but were these satan deserving sins.

Out of nowhere God answered, "I'm not sure let me check my records."

"Is that Murray with an a' or an e'?" the almighty asked.

"An a'," I answered. "I'm sorry, Murray, I thought

you were Murray with an e \ " she said with remorse. "Hey, even I make mistakes. Tell you what — I'll send you back to earth and you can tell everybody about hell."

"Awright," I said.

Letters Continued from page 4

Against abortion

To the Editor: I find the stand taken by Mer-

rinth Brown in the Nov. 5 issue of The Circle against the California parental consent law to be reprehensible, naive and ill thought out. The law has nothing to do with being conservative, liberal, or of any other political leaning. It is simply a way of the state insuring the safety of these girls.

Whether or not one supports a pro-life philosophy or not, the facts are there for all to see. Abortion is unquestionably a dangerous surgical procedure, whether it be back-street or in a clinic. A minor cannot be given aspirin without parental consent, nor can a minor have dental procedures, or a score , of other medical exercises perform11-ed on her without this self-same consent. Why should abortion be any different? Simply because it

would cause the girl conflict with her parents? Or is it perhaps because those advocating abortion rights are afraid that if these girls think about this situation rational­ly, which is what talking to their parents would force them to do, they would see how wrong abortion is and Liberal arguments of "the people" wanting this right would go down the drain.

The nonsense about children of conservative households not being able to talk to their parents about sex is ridiculous. I have never had any problem with my parents in talking about sex nor have most of my friends who come from conser­vative backgrounds. I do know of a number of children of liberal

, families who have confessed to receiving a locker room education when it came to the details of sex­ual intimacy. I find this comment by Miss Brown to be extremely

biased and judgemental. What ever happened to the pride Liberals took in not judging a group of people?

As for the American Civil Liber­ties Union, all it has accomplished since its inception is to erode the values upon which our Constitu­tion was based and pervert the in­tentions of the Founding Fathers in writing this Constitution, and I don't give a fig for the statistics they use to support their distorted priorities.

I do agree that the men/teenage boys should share in the conse­quences of their actions. Both par­ties made the decision to engage in the act, both parties should share in the result, good or bad. Since it would be silly to gripe about the physical consequences and who should bear them (which is what a good number of feminists do) the male should contribute in a greater

proportion to the child's financial and moral support and upbringing than the woman,' to balance this situation somewhat.

As for the constitutionality of the law, let us bear in mind that the Constitution states that no one shall be "deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of the law." I don't see the child be­ing given a trial by jury, or the series of appeals all the way to the Supreme Court being given to murderers. And the argument of the fetus not being human just doesn't wash. A large number of biologists testified before both House of Congress that life, human life, begins at conception.

These are men and women who have dedicated their entire lives to the study of lives, and anyone who, without similar training, seeks to contradict them must be extreme­ly arrogant, or extremely naive.

In conclusion, let me state that my beliefs are based upon logic, not religion, and I would be hap­py to discuss them with anyone who wishes. I live in Sheahan 206, and my extension there is 711.

Campus leaders: The bashing is getting old by Mike O'Keeffe

(CPS) — Education-bashing has become a national fad, and cam­pus leaders — while grateful for the attention — say they're beginning to resent it.

Since 1983 — when the Carnegie Foundation and the U.S. Depart­ment of Education issued separate, widely influential reports criticizing American higher education — groups, associations and publishers have been releasing other critiques at a dizzying rate.

The Education Commission of the States, the American Council on Education, the Holmes Group, the National Education Associa­tion, the National Council on State Legislatures, among literally

dozens of others, all have con­tributed still more "reports" to the fad in recent'months.

Since 1983, reports have savag­ed the state of college teaching pro­grams, college ethical instruction, student materialism, disrepair in campus research labs, ad­ministrative bureaucracies and vir­tually every other aspect of American higher education.

The avalanche of reports, however, is beginning to strike some educators as excessive. 1 "The extent of the problem is vastly overstated," said Prof; Stephen Brookfield of Columbia University Teachers College.

"We may well need to im­prove," added University of California-Santa Barbara

Chancellor Barbara Uehling, "but we're not in that bad a shape."

"I give colleges a good grade overall," Robert Hochstein of the Carnegie Foundation for the Ad­vancement of Teaching official said. "But it's a grade that could be improved."

Colleges are easy targets for criticism, Uehling noted. "There's no tangible output measures, no bottom line."

Most higher education-bashing, said the American Council on Education's Elaine El-Khawas, "has been rhetorical rather than substantive, image-creating rather than serious debate. I'm all for a higher accountability, but some of the criticisms are not of value to educators. They serve a political

agenda." Many critics, she said, have not

been paying attention because most campuses already have reviewed and reformed their curricula.

"Their efforts may not have led to a best seller," El-Khawas said, referring to the success of Allan Bloom's "The Closing of the American Mind" and E.D. Hirsch's "Cultural Literacy," which argue that colleges don't teach students basic knowledge, "but there's no doubt educators have been addressing their issues."

"Some of the criticisms are un­justified," agreed Hood College President Martha Church. "We're trying to prepare students for the

future, but they're making it dif­ficult for us to do so."

Indeed, there's some evidence all the criticism is eroding public sup­port for higher education. A Media-General poll conducted in September, 1987, found a majori­ty of Americans don't believe col­leges are still a good value for the money.

Group Attitudes Corporation, a research organization, found that the number of Americans who think the overall quality of higher education in the United States is good or excellent has declined in re­cent years.

Such sentiments make it harder to get funding from Congress and state legislatures.

Mayor Koch fights to keep head above water by Jonna Spilbor

If New York City Mayor Ed­ward Koch wants to drink from the Hudson, he'll have to fight a few local conservation groups first.

According to a task force ap­pointed by the mayor, two to three million gallons of water may have to be taken from the Hudson River on a regular basis to satisfy the ci­ty's needs, estimated at nearly 2 billion gallons per day. The city now uses 1.5 billion daily obtain­ed from other reservoirs.

Koch has recently taken steps through the Department of En­vironmental Conservation in hopes of expanding the Hudson River pumping station at Chelsea, about 6 miles south of Poughkeepsie. Chelsea has previously been used in times of emergency draught.

Groups such as the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, Scenic Hudson and the Hudson River Fishermen Association said they are opposed to the proposal.

"It would be giving New York City 'Carte Blanche' to use the Hudson," said Bridget Barclay, en­vironmental director of Clear­water. "We are very much against it for one simple fact: that they aren't paying attention to the en­vironmental regards of the Hudson/*

Clearwater members including Barclay have begun pre-hearing conferences with the Department of Environmental Conservation to fight the management strategy plan.

According to Barclay, using the Catskill and Delaware reservoir system in the Hudson Valley could greatly affect the river's salt balance.

"The more fresh water removed could lead to an unacceptable salt

level north of the city," said Barclay. "There's just not enough information in the DEC's strategy. The salt front studies are just beginning."

Officials from Dutchess County said pumping a large amount of water from this area could draw the Hudson's salt front north, en­dangering the water supplies of Poughkeepsie and Rhinebeck.

According to Barclay, the Hud­son's salt surplus heads south when the water level is above average, as in the spring. "In dry years, the salt has come to Poughkeepsie," she said. This would affect residents in Poughkeepsie and other towns that alsouse the Hudson as a source of water, she said. In times of average rainfall and temperature, the salt front stays evenly dispersed, with slightly more in the New York Ci­ty area.

"Another concern, according to Barclay, is the harm that would come to the fish and necessary plants in the river.

Barcaly said enstrainment would occur because of the largepipes which would be necessary to pump the water. Fish, larva and vital planckton would be sucked against the screens located at the ends of the pipes, and would die.

The city's water management plan also revealed that by the year 2030, New York City will need an additional 800 million gallons of water per day; a vital statistic in the long range plans for the Hudson River.

"There's a lot of guess work go­ing on," Barclay said. She added

that there could be a great possibili­ty of the greenhouse effect 50 years from now that should be taken in­to consideration.

Environmental Director of Scenic Hudson, Cara Lee, said the plan displays a strong bias toward New York City's future needs.

According to national-statistics,the average amount of water used per person daily is about" 60 gallons. For people in the Hud­

son Valley, that amount is nearly doubled at 127 daily gallons.

"They should make better use of good water," said Barclay.

Other pumping stations being considered are Kingston, Beacon and Poughkeepsie - where Marist College gets its water supply.

Although no decision will be definite until Jan.l, if the proposal

Students' cars will be towed if .not registered

by Tim Besser

Approximately one-third of Marist College students have not yet registered their cars with the college, according to Joseph J. Waters, director of safety and security.

Of the estimated 1,200 cars on campus, only 800 have been issued parking permits, despite new' smaller window stickers, Waters said.

Residents and commuters who registered cars in the past, but haven't this year, will be receiving letters this week warning them to register their car or face the possibilty of having it towed, ac­cording to Waters.

"I don't make any money on towing," said Waters. "I don't like to tow. I'll be very happy if I don't tow anybody."

Security began issuing tickets last week, but that is largely ineffective, Waters said, because if tickets are not paid they are just added to the bill at the end of the semester, and then most of the time parents end up paying them.

Waters said a more effective way to deal with the problem is to put the large orange stickers on the windows of illegally parked cars.

"They can't put that off," said Waters. "They don't usually like to leave the campus with the sticker on the car. We have found that that is effective."

It is much harder to catch com­muters who didn't register their cars, Waters said. If they are only on campus a couple of days a week, it is nearly impossible to nab them, unless they get a ticket for something else.

According to Waters, letters were sent to students in September advising them of the new parking regulations, and an ad was placed in the Circle describing the winter parking rules.

"I don't know what else I can do," he said. "Vassar charges $25 for students to register their cars. Here there is no expense to students. Some just like to go without registering their cars. I

Lynch mentioned the possibility of opening the program to other sports.

Marist has been invited to the Powerlift Invitational — a weightlifting tournament at the prison — and to play indoor soc­cer with the inmates.

The final game of the series will be held on Sunday, Nov. 15.

Lynch said he's optimistic about the game.

"The team will have had more time to work as a whole. They will build their stamina to be able to play the longer periods — 25 minutes — and we will be bringing four more players to use as substitutes. The team has already proved its initiative and coopera­tion, now it is just a matter of practice."

He added, "You have to be physically in a prison to realize that these inmates are humans, too. If you treat someone kindly, ther can sometimes be paybacks."

But to Marist team members and the inmates, the reward was the thrill of competition.

don't think it is fair to other f students."

This year the college switched from the large stickers that went on the rear bumper to much smaller ones that go on the window.

Some members of the faculty and staff thought the large bumper stickers were too big and that smaller window stickers would be more appropriate, Waters said. .

"They didn't like to put a sticker on the bumper of a new $16,000 or $20,000 car."

Now the college is also taking down the car's registration number. This enables the college to make sure that the person is registering their own car, not so­meone else's.

"In the past we would have a few freshman who would get an upperclassmen without a car to register theirs," Waters said. "This way we don't have to tie up a police computer to check the registrations."

thursday morning quarterback

by Annie Breslin < Kevin Walsh loves to play

hockey and football, but it was crime that brought him to Marist College.

A freshman defenseman for - the Marist hockey team, Walsh was lured to Marist by a strong criminal justice program — but the temptation of the ice was just too great.

"You don't go to a school that's club just to play hockey," said Walsh. "I don't want to sound ironic, but I wouldn't have come to Marist if it didn't have a hockey team."

Walsh said he was more in­terested in finding a quality pro­gram than a successful team.

He found his program right in his own backyard.

A Wappingers Falls native, Walsh has been making Hudson Valley hockey news since he was five years old.

Throughout his career at Our Lady of Lourdes High School in Poughkeepsie, Walsh was a constant fixture on the Mid-

' Hudson High School League All-Star team. During his senior

* year, Walsh contributed four goals and 14 assists for the War­riors and was named to the Poughkeepsie Journal All-Star ' team.

Walsh's talents aren't limited to the ice. Back at Lourdes, Walsh was a major contributer to the Warrior pigskin success. Highlighting his football career, the Warriors finished with an unblemished 9-0 record in his junior year.

His appearance at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center was a suprise to first-year coach John Lentz. A Marist graduate, Lentz said he first heard of Walsh's in­tentions to play for Marist from the coach of an opposing team.

Lentz said he was curious when the hockey coach at the University of Scranton said he was mad at him. "He told me, *We drafted him and he wants to play for you', I said, 'Real­ly?' "

"I was extactic about that,' " said Lentz.

According to Lentz, Marist head football coach Mike Malet had his eyes on Walsh too. Lentz said Malet jokingly ex­pressed anger at Lentz for tak­ing one of 'his players.'

Walsh said he thought about playing football at Marist. "I could have played for (football) for Marist," he said. "I love them both, but I couldn't play both. It'd take up too much time,"

That dosen't mean Walsh contributes little time to foot­ball. Every afternoon, Walsh relives his high school football days as an assistant coach of the Lourdes varsity football team. He devoted his Saturdays this fall to traveling with the team.

His classes are over by 4 p.m., then it's off to Lourdes for practice. He returns to Marist with a few hours to kill before hitting the ice at 11 or 11:30 p.m., for hockey practice.

"Since there's only one rink in the area, it's hard to get ice time," Walsh said. This causes the Red Foxes to resort to such unusual hours for practice sessions.

Walsh said this inconvenince is one he was unprepared for. He was also suprised by a change in this year's team.

"I t ' s totally different," Walsh said. "The key word is team. Last year there wasn't any unity from what I saw. This year it's very unified."

Marist spikers serve up victories by Don Reardon

The Marist College women's volleyball team topped off one of its finest weeks with a sizzling win over Quinnipiac Friday, according to Head Coach Vic VanCarpels.

The squad defeated Queens Col­lege Nov 2., and fell to Seton Hall Nov 3.

"The Queens College game was our toughest win this year," said VanCarpels.

"They had a big crowd at the match and they were very unruly," he said. "It took away from our game and we ended up losing the first two matches."

VanCarpels said crowd control is a duty of the home coach.

"I protested, with the Queens coach and the official," he said. "I actually asked the Queens coach to quiet down the crowd and she said no." '

After losing the first two mat­ches the Red Foxes came back to oust Queens 15-5,15-11 and 15-12.

"It was our biggest win this year," said VanCarpels.

The spikers weren't as lucky against Seton Hall.

"We played very well," he said. "Seton Hall is a full scholarship team with a lot of big people."

"At one point we had.Jean Per-

nice and Kerry Rielly in our front row — I think they average about 5-4," said VanCarpels, whose squad lost close matches at 17-15, 15-12 and 15-12.

"Seton Hall recently hired a pro­fessional coach from France who's helped their program tremendous­ly," he said.

Friday, the Red Foxes threshed Quinnipiac with scores of 15-8, 15-5, and 15-2.

"We pretty much knew we could handle Quinnipiac before the game even started," VanCarpels said.

VanCarpels said his squad will face the three toughest matches of the season next week.

"We're going to play Rutgers, FDU and Northeastern all next week," said VanCarpels.

The Huskies of Northeastern will be the best ofthe three, according to VanCarpels.

"They will be the top seed from the east at NCAA's," he said. "I'm going to scrimmage against the girls all week so they get used to more height and velocity."

VanCarpels said his team pro­bably wouldn't get a bid at ECAC's even with a triple win week over the big guns.

Reardon paces X-C to 10th in state meet by Paul Kelly

Rich Stevens must believe in op­tical illusions.

Seven Marist runners finished Saturday's New York State Track and Field Association Cross Coun­try Championship race in Schenec­tady, N.Y., yet Marist Men's Cross Country Coach Stevens observed the race differently.

"We were running obviously with five guys this race," said Stevens.

Despite lackluster performances

by freshmen Scott Kendall and Mike Coakley, the Marist College men's cross country team finished its season by placing 10th at the N.Y.S.T.& F.A. cross country championships Saturday. The Red Foxes scored 268 points, far behind victorious Rochester's 32 points.

Senior Don Reardon, bothered by a nagging patellar tendon in­jury, led Marist with his 14th-place finish. Reardon finished the five-mile course in 26:24, exactly one minute behind winner Jukka Tam-mosuo of St. Lawrence.

Freshman Kevin Brennan followed Reardon, finishing 28th in 26:58. "Kevin Brennan ran the best of anyone," said Stevens.

Bob Sweeney placed 73rd in 28:05, Steve Brennan finished 76th in 28:09 and Dave Blondin was 79th in 28:14.

Normally, each team's top five runners dictate the outcome of a race by scoring the only points. In Schenectady however, Kendall and Coakley's subpar performances may have affected the team's place in the final standings.

Kendall, hindered by a foot in­jury, hobbled to a 119-place finish. Coakley followed him in 121st place. Their efforts fragmented Marist's "five-pack" of five runners.

Before the race, Stevens expected Sweeney, Steve Brennan, Blondin, Coakley and Kendall to congregate and follow Reardon and Kevin Brennan during the race. The Red Foxes did have a pack at the finish — a "three pack" of Sweeney, Steve Brennan and Blondin.

Bailey's 3 TD's lift Red Foxes over Fisher by Chris Barry

The accent was on youth Satur­day, as the younger members of the Marist football team stole the spotlight in the 21-7 victory over St. John Fisher College, Rochester, N.Y.

Sophomore Curtis Bailey scored three touchdowns while four Marist defenders, three of whom were juniors, recorded interceptions.

Bailey, a 5-10,195-pound runn­ing back from Marlboro, N.Y., gained more yards in a single game than any Marist runner all season.

He finished with 134 yards, highlighted by a 69-yard touchdown run. ' • -

Bailey's 69-yard dash was the longest run by a Red Fox this year. It came with only 2:29 left in the second quarter and was the only scoring of the entire first half.

Bailey scored again with 5:32 left in the third quarter on a 2-yard run after junior Brian Cesca recovered a Cardinal fumble.

Marist's lead was cut to 14-7 with just over three minutes left in the third period, but Bailey gave the Red Foxes insurance points with a 1-yard plunge early in the

fourth quarter. Sophomore Bill Rose came in and kicked his third extra-point to make the score 21-7.

Junior quarterback Jason Thomas completed six of 17 passes for 60 yards and the Red Foxes totalled 181 yards rushing. Senior Larry Cavazza led Marist with 11 tackles and senior Chris Keenan added nine to finish what has been his best season with 109 total tackles.

"Chris Keenan had maybe the finest season I've ever seen a player have," Marist head coach Mike Malet said. "If he doesn't make All-ECAC or All-American, I'll be

disappointed," he said.

The Red Foxes' finished the season with a disappointing 2-7 record. "We should have been more successful," Malet said. "I'm

not satisfied with a 2-7 record and I don't think the players are either."

Malet said he was happy with some of the performances of the younger players. "Joe Furey is a good example. He gave us everything he could have," Malet said of the 6-0, 220-pound sophomore.

Malet said commitment will be a key to next year's team. "I just

think we've got to get a commit­ment from the guys coming back," he said.

The defensive line is losing two key players in Keenan and Cavaz­za, but Malet said he is confident that the returning younger players will be able to fill some of the void that will be left by their absence.

"You don't replace a Chris Keenan," Malet said. "He may be the best defensive player that has ever played at Marist."

Marist soccer ends season with loss by Paul Kelly

Dr. Howard Goldman turned quickly in his padded swivel chair in his McCann Center office and pointed to the bulletin board which was fastened to the wall behind him. He moved a few items, reveal­ing a Marist College soccer schedule pinned to the board.

Goldman looked upward toward the schedule and moved his finger down the cardboard.

"This was a team, without exag­geration, that should have been 14-2-1," said Goldman. "That's not sour grapes, it's an objective point of view. The consistency wasn't there. People sometimes were just going through the motions."

The year printed on the schedule was 1987.

The Marist College soccer team, the team that, according to Head Coach Goldman, should have finished 14-2-1, tentatively ended its season Saturday with a 4-10-2

-recordrMarist lost 5-1 Saturday to host Adelphi.

Wednesday, the Red Foxes ap­parently upset visiting ECAC Metro foe Fairieigh Dickinson in overtime, 4-3. However, the final 25 seconds of that game were never played. A bench-clearing brawl with 25 seconds remaining forced the referees to end the game.

A decision regarding the out­come of the game by ECAC Metro Commissioner Chris Monasch is pending. If Monasch awards Marist a victory, the Red Foxes will officially finish the season 5-10-2. (see related story)

Against Adelphi, Marist was hindered.by the absence of three key defensive starters. Dave Sullivan was injured, Glenn McSweeney was sick and John Gilmartin missed the team bus.

"Adelphi played a very fine game," said Goldman. "(Our)

People weren't running with peo­ple they were supposed to mark."

Wednesday against FDU, Marist resurrected the scintillating play which characterized its first four games, all wins. "We moved the ball very well up front," said Goldman. "We beat their backs consistently."

One reason for the Red Foxes' offensive renaissance was a restruc­tured front line. Goldman moved junior midfielder Tom Haggerty to forward. The shift favored Hagger­ty, who scored one goal and tallied two assists against FDU.

Haggerty tied junior Mark Ed­wards for the team scoring title with 12 points.

Next season, one dangerous place could be the Marist goal. Senior goalkeeper Joe Madden played his final Marist game Satur­day and his departure leaves a gap­ing hole in the 1988 Marist goal.

Due to Madden's graduation, a ' goalkeeping derby may ensue next August in Marist's training camp. Sophomore Vincent Aspromonti, Madden's understudy who played only 37 minutes this season, is the prime candidate for Madden's job next fall.

"He's going to have to spend some time working in intense goalkeepers'' training during the summer," said Goldman.

Goldman hopes to enter this summer with a roster bolstered by talented freshman recruits. However, his recruiting efforts will be somewhat nullified.

"When you talk about recruiting, you're talking about my going out to get people without aid," said Goldman. "There is a limitation on the availability of blue-chip.players if you don't have the where-with-all." Most of Marist's opponents offer scholarships.

Not long ago

Last season, a record crowd of 3,809 packed into McCann for the ECAC Tournament. Tuesday night, the Red Foxes opened their season with an 88-80 defeat at the hands of Marathon Oil in front of 2,209 fans.

Soccer fight causes controversy ECAC Metro Commissioner Chris Monasch will

decide this week the outcome of last Wednesday's Marist-Fairleigh Dickinson soccer game which was ter­minated by a bench-clearing brawl with 25 seconds re­maining in overtime. Marist led the game 4-3 when the referee stopped the contest.

Monasch's decision was not available at press time. In a telephone interview Monday, Monasch said he

was considering two options. "It's not a cut and dry situation," said Monasch. "We could have them play it over, which we're obviously not going to do, or we could declare a no contest or declare the score final."

FDU Head Coach Ben Stravato told reporters Thursday that the game should be replayed.

However, Marist Head Coach Dr. Howard Goldman offered a different opinion Monday. "We'd have the student body and the football team in the front row if we had to replay the game," said Goldman. "If they declare no contest, it will go down as a win in our books."

Goldman said the fight started when an FDU player hit Marist's Joe Purschke in the head during a strug­gle for the ball at midfield. Goldman then said Marist's Kudzai Kambarami rushed to aid Purschke, who was surrounded by three hostile FDU players. Fisticuffs ensued.

Then, both benches cleared after Goldman entered the field to stop the fighting, said Goldman.

Stravato told reporters Thursday that Purschke precipitated the brawl by fouling FDU's Tom Lips and swinging at the Knights' Dan Hatter.

A controversial point of the fracas, which lasted four minutes according to Goldman, occured when Stravato and Marist junior back Bill Kenny wrestled on the field.

Stravato insisted to reporters Thursday that Kenny struck him. Tuesday, Kenny denied any punches. "Somebody got me from behind," said Kenny. "I grabbed him fast and threw him down to the ground. I definitely didn't hit the guy."

Frosh excel as women's swimming wins by Don Reardon

The goal of any veteran swim coach is for his or her team to produce a few outstanding records as the end of the season approaches.

Doug Backlund has been coaching the women's swim team at Marist for less than a month.

Doug Backlund's squad shat­tered six school records in the first meet of the season Thurs­day while defeating crosstown-rival Vassar.

It's time to set new goals, Doug.

"This was better than anything I could possibly ex­pect," said Backlund.

"For anyone to swim a per­sonal best in the first meet of the season is unheard of," Backlund said. "Three of our school records were broken in the first two events of the meet." .

Marist will challenge visiting SUNY New Paltz Wednesday.

The Red Foxes swam at New York University yesterday and competed Saturday in the Metropolitan Swimming Con­ference relay carnival at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. Results were unavail-ble at press time.

Freshman phenom Kindra Predmore assisted Karen bitz-inger, Jackie O'Brien and Jeanne Geary with a new school record of 4:27.28 in the 400-yard medley relay and jumped back in the drink minutes later to establish a new school record at 500 yards.

Backlund expected a 500-yard record from Predmore. However, Predmore surprised Backlund by shattering the 500-yard record during her vic­torious 1,000-yard race.

"She basically jumped out of the water after the relay and then jumped back in for the 1,000 without any recovery," said Backlund.

However, Predmore wasn't satisfied, according to

Backlund. "She came back later in the

meet and set a new record of 2:19 for the 200-yard fly," said Backlund.

Geary, a freshman, also established herself as one of the Marist elite with a new school record of 58.08 for the 100-yard freestyle.

Marist's individual 200-yard individual medley, paced by Karen Schreck of Rhinebeck, N.Y., set a new school record with its 2:24.88 clocking.

"Everybody swam well," said Backlund. "Chris Thum also beat the old 1,000 record and everybody else — Sara Perkins, Julianne Magazeno — beat some of their personal records."

Where will Backlund take his squad from this explosive start?

"All the way," said Backlund. "We're in the scholarship division of the Metropolitan Conference, but we're still going to win it.

Skaters skid on the road, record drops to 1-2

by Ken Foye

After finishing with a 3-17-1 record a year ago, the Marist Col­lege ice hockey team saw smooth ice ahead after a season-opening win over Seton Hall last Sunday.

Last weekend, the ice melted. The icemen came into this week

with a 1-2 overall record after a 12-5 beating at the hands of the University of Scranton and a 6-4 loss to New York University Sun­day. The Red Foxes are 1-1 in Metropolitan Conference play.

Marist will travel to Long Island for a conference game against Hofstra University tomorrow.

Ken Marasco starred for the Red Foxes Saturday with two goals, with Brian Young adding another score. Steve Waryas and Charlie Broe scored their first goals as Marist players.

Playing against an NCAA Divi­sion Three team in front of a large pro-Scranton crowd alone may

have decided the game. "Hockey's the only sport Scranton has," said senior defenseman Rick Race. The Red Foxes are a club team.

With the long bus ride to Scran­ton on Saturday followed by another trek on Sunday, Race said the Foxes were bus-lagged prior to the NYU game. "We were just on the bus too long," said Race, who scored two goals Sunday. "We weren't ready for them."
