Trustees expected 

to accept a new 

"basketball plan 

By Larry Striegel 

v - 

The Marist Board of Trustees is ex-- 

pected in early May to approve a proposal 

allowing the college Athletic Department 

to pursue and establish an NCAA Division 

I basketball program, the highest level; by 

as early as 1982-83. , V - -'- . 

..According to head basketball coach Ron 

Petrq.the movers partly~"aimed to.-in«-_"

the proposal, said last_ week "the trustees

The coach said his "biggest worry" 

about developing a-top-level program 

would be scheduling. 

NCAA rules require a Division I 

basketball team to play 85 percent of its 

games against other Division I-colleges. 

Petro said hejwould be working to set up 

games with other .Division I schools like 

Northwestern, - Bucknell, Rider, 

Layfa.yette~and RobeVt Morris: 

The scheduling obstacle is closely tied'to 

the increased .budget that a Division I 

program-would entail," the coach said. 

In a presentation to the trustees, Petro 

said, it'was'projected, that the cost of a 

Division I program in 1982-83 would be- 

$40,000. Yet, incomerwas"* estimated at 

$57,000, proving.that the school'and Mc- 

Cann Center, which receives all basketbalFrelated 

revenue, would benefit, Petro.

College dishonesty 

on rise: study 

Cheating, theft and other forms of 

dishonesty are rising- at American 

colleges, a new study says. 

According to a news report, the Carnegie 

Council on Policy Studies in Higher 

Education has found that 8.8 percent of 

undergraduates polled say some forms of 

cheating are necessary to get the grades 

they want. That is an increase- of 1.3 

percent in 10 years. It said the percentage - 

of students with A ami B grade-point 

averages went up from 35, to 59 "percent 

between 1969 and 1976, indicating" increased 

grade inflation. ;. 

The report accused students, of "substantial 

misuse" of public financial aid. 

Mosaic published 

this week 

The Mosaic, Marist College's literary 

and artistic magazine, distributed some 

330 issues last week to faculty and 

department chairmen. 

Financed by a $1200 student government 

allocation,'editor-in-chief Nancy Zaccario 

said over "fifty pieces" of literary and art 

work were contributed to the magazine 

before last Christmas. 

Zaccario added that she hopes to work 

on the magazine next year with the goal of 

increasing the number of pages in the 

Mosaic. ' 

Additional copies Will be given to-visiting 

parents this weekend, and students may 

request the magazine mailed to them by

What we've tried to do 

Since this is the last issue of The Circle for 

the academic year 1978-1979, we would like 

-to take this opportunity to educate the countless 

people on this campus who seem to lack 

an understanding as to what the purposeof a 

newspaper is. 

\X e refrained from taking a didactic stance 

during the course of this past semester amidst 

-illegations of pessimism;on the part of The 

Circle because we did not believe we could 

sacrifice the limited space available to the 

news in order to defend ourselves. 

The newspaper serves as a vehicle of information 

for the people which' read -it by 

providing coverage of topics and issues which 

..directly affect those people. Itjg- imperative 

that a newspaper maintain objectivity while .

in presenting all the facts. 

A newspaper cannot indulge in delegating 

the majority of its space to what is loosely 

referred to as "positive" news. While there is 

nothing wrong with a publication which 

chaoses to do^so and there even is a need for 

such information, a publication cannot do so 

and still exercise the" privilege to call itself a 

newspaper. j / 

We would forsake running a story' most 

readers would consider "positive" such as"the 

hoped for success of an upcoming event in 

favor of a so-called "negative" story like a 

possible -tuition increase. After all, if 

something "negative" ""like a tuition hike 

.becomes a reality and students were unprepared 

for it, they might not care about 

"positive" news. They might not be able'to 

afford Marist to come back and enjoy it." ~

' 'Why don't you write a letter or 

a column explaining journalism, 

and what teaching it here has

Countless students and a few of 

my newsroom colleagues have 

asked me that question-always 

with the indication that I should 

take the time to chastize my 

abundant critics with a display of 

so-called superior knowledge of a 

field that puzzles or angers 

many. • . - ' - - . 

But that is not what my four -

I've had a wonderful time. And ;

the two of youand others like you 

for all you taught me. 

You taught me how to-teach. 

How frightening it was four years 

ago to'enter a classroom with 

only the newsroom' behind me. 

That .first .class coaxed; me 

through a dreadful period of trial 

and error, letting me know my 

mistakes and cheering me on as I

You taught me courage." 

Reporters are a courageous lot, 

who learn to live with daily

of the junior class of 1980, would 

like to acknowledge the efforts of 

the Junior Ring Committee,

"whoever they may be" is most 

appropriate because the members 

of the Ring Committee are

You taught me to view the 

future as a parent with confidence.

have: changed drastically since I 

was a college freshman 18 years, 

ago and the implications for my

dedication to your own parents

; You taught me how to say

scores of indirect ways but more - 

importantly, you, were, not 

reluctant to say those two special 

words. You prompted me to_ write -

my, former journalism teachers 

at the University of Nevada at 

Reno; and.thank him for all'he

Lee Miringoff: politics 

of a red baseball cap 

by Robert Whitmore 

Lee" Miringoff, never without his red 

baseball cap since he was eight - years old, 

even sported it in his back pocket on his 

wedding day. "I guess I'm just a creature 

of habit", says the twenty-six year old 

Marist College political science professor. 

Another habit of Miringoff s is being an 

avid sports fan, especially when it comes 

to the New York Yankees. "I'm a 

traditionalist", says Miringoff, "I like the 

Yankees, I like the Giants, I like the 

Knicks and I like the Rangers." Miringoff 

adds "I haven't quite adjusted to the fact 

that there's the Mets, the Jets, the Nets 

and the Islanders." 

Miringoff's interest in politics began at 

an early age, when influenced by his 

politically active parents. His interest lies 

mainly in the "behind the scenes" as "a 

participant observer." "I enjoy the horse 

race of politics, who wins who loses," he 

says. 

Miringoff's personal interest in local 

politics and knowing a lot of the people 

involved, is a factor which helps him 

organize various internships at Marist. 

"Marist is a good place for someone like 

me," says Miringoff who's been here for 

four years. "If Marist sees you have 

talent, then they're going to give you the 

responsibility." Miringoff compared 

Marist to larger much more rigid schools 

where you have to "put in five years before 

they give anything responsible to do." 

Miringoff is also interested in movies, 

especially Woody Allen flicks. He had this 

to say about disaster films: "It's a curious 

phenomenon that the next civilization will 

find out that our civilization watched 

movies like "Tidal Wave," and "Earthquake" 

and the "Late Great Planet 

Earth," which prophesized our own 

destruction; and called it entertainment." 

Miringoff, born in Poughkeepsie, has 

lived here most of his life. Although he's 

not one of those "local guys" who hates 

change, he says he has seen "enormous 

change" in Poughkeepsie. 

A graduate of Clark University in 

Massachusetts, a school about the same 

size as Marist, Miringoff says he likes the 

concept of a small school because it offers 

a personal touch which larger schools 

cannot. He also says he enjoys teaching at 

Marist because it gives him a chance to 

interact with the students on a one to one 

basis. 

Dorm Room searehes and your rights as students 

By Jim Kochis-EileenRyan - 

You answer the knock at your door in the 

dormitory, and the Resident :Director 

informs.you that he is conducting "walkin" 

room inspections. Do you have to let 

him in, and if so, what is the legal status of 

what he may find there? 

These and other questions gained new 

relevance to Marist resident students 

when they returned to the campus after 

Christmas vacation and were greeted by a 

.

Page 6 THE CIRCLE April 26, 1979 

Letters...from pg 4 

Is this another "political" appointment 

made by a Marist administrator in order 

to circumvent still another possible 

problem? It is also quietly known that 

there will be the awarding of rings to five 

juniors who have contributed the most to 

Marist College in the fields of service, 

athletics, and academics. What is the 

process for awarding these rings? What 

criteria will be used to rate these students? 

Who makes the decision? We know that the 

junior class was never notified concerning 

this matter. Are the select few of the Ring 

Committee given this task? Are they at all 

capable of this momentous task? We are 

afraid of the fact that they probably are 

not and that proper recognition will once 

again not be given at Marist College. " 

Still, further, there are more questions. 

Who will pay for these "free" rings? Who 

will compensate all the juniors who 

deserve awards and are not going to get 

them? We demand answers - for the class 

of 1980 and for the rest of Marist community 

so that a problem like this will not 

have to be faced again and at such a late

To the editors: 

In the Thursday, April 12 issue of the

to the financial standing of the Black

nothing more than ah invalid assumption.

due to the unpaid revenues' from our

Assistant Director of Financial Aid, 

Michael Fraher said, "Besides the major 

sources of financial aid, there is a lot of 

money available through smaller 

programs." 

According to Fraher, the problem with 

most of the smaller awards is that you 

have to be in a certain field, or your 

parents must belong to a particular 

organization to qualify for the aid. "Many 

of the awards are available only at the 

graduate level," said Fraher. 

Fraher said that the financial aid office 

used to purchase updated volumes of'little

to Fraher updated volumes of these books

Fraher said most students are aware of 

the major sources of financial aid which 

include awards, student loans, and work 

study programs. "If a student is not aware 

it is not because the information is not 

there,", said Fraher. "The student is not 

taking advantage of the information." 

Fraher said since most students receive 

financial aid, a big problem is students are 

not aware of the responsibilities involved 

with the aid. "A lot of students have 

problems with the Tuition Assistance 

Program," said Fraher. "The student is 

responsible for payment of the bill until the 

money from T.A.P. comes through." 

Fraher also said that any student whose 

family situation changes should go immediately 

to the financial aid office to see 

about additional aid.

Long lasting friendships have been 

established under deadline pressures for

because of time she has spent with her 

students. 

"My students became my friends," says 

' McAndrew who will be leaving Marist 

after four years of teaching to return to

Spring Internships for 79 

ByJimTownsend 

Internships in communication arts, 

political science, psychology, and teacher 

education are providing job experience for 

79 Marist students this semester. 

The communication arts internships 

started in 1969 and according to program 

director Bob Norman has grown and 

"exceeded my expectations," he said. This 

semester, 33 interns, ten who work fulltime, 

are earning 15 credits. Norman said 

some interns get paid for working but 

Norman does not like interns because they 

may become loyal to the facility and not to 

the program. Each intern keeps a record 

of whatthey do on the job and Norman said 

he tries to contact them once every two 

weeks. 

Norman said students who want internships 

should contact him by their 

sophomore year in order to set them up. 

Norman said the students, are expected to 

have an overall cumulative average of. 2.5 

and an average in their major of 2.8, 

though Norman says the best students do 

not always make the best interns. 

Some of the interns receive job offers 

from their internships, but Norman added 

their work experience is more important 

than being hired. Many of the internship 

programs are now in doubt, according to 

Norman, because there aren't enough 

students interested. 

In the teacher education department 11 

students have taught in area high schools. 

Elizabeth Nolan, director of the 

program said many of the students who 

teach are supervised by former Marist 

graduates. The program started with the 

Marist brothers according to Nolan, but 

received state certification in the early 

sixties. 

Interning education students observe 

classes for seven weeks before taking full 

responsibility of teaching five classes. 

This includes planning, instructing, testing 

and grading of over 100 students said 

Nolan. 

Nolan said students interested in the 

McAndrew, who never taught before 

coming to Marist, says students taught her 

to teach; "They (students) taught me a lot 

about courage. It takes a lot of courage to 

be a campus reporter because what they 

renort effects them directly," she says. 

Teaching .her students that, "A 

newspaper is there to report w'hat happens 

and what effects people because the public 

has a right to know," McAndrew adds. 

"It's a sacred trust being a newspaper 

person." 

"It's a tremendous pride for me to 

contribute a little bit to students who are 

now a credit to my profession," she says. 

Two students now-work at the Associated 

Press: one works for the Staten Island 

teacher education program for secondary 

schools should contact her when 

sophomores. 

Nolan said the intern program has 

decreased in size in the past five years, but 

in 1977,11 out of the 19 teacher education 

students later found jobs teaching. 

Nineteen Political Science students are 

obtaining job experience in law, 

legislative, and executive offices in 

Dutchess County in the internship 

program. The agencies in which these 

students work in the offices of the Public 

Defender, the District Attorney, the 

Probation Department, and the County 

Executive office according to Lee 

Miringoff, director of the program. 

Besides the internship work papers and 

readings are required said Miringoff. 

Three students are interning full-time in 

the New York state senate in Albany and 

are working with senators and doing jobs 

usually done by their staff. 

Miringoff said that students interested in 

internships should've contacted him 

Advance; one is the assistant to the 

editorial writer at WCBS, four other 

students work at the Poughkeepsie 

Journal, one of those four was the Journal's 

first woman sports writer, says 

McAndrew. 

The main problem, McAndrew says she 

has faced at Marist is that, "people have 

questioned my integrity. "They believe 

that I'm somehow teaching some mystical 

negative view of journalism when I'm 

teaching the most routine kind of reporting." 

McAndrew lives in Rhinebeck with her 

husband, Tom, the sports editor for the 

Poughkeepsie Journal, and their two 

daughters, Siobahn and Molly. 

during registration for the next semester's 

classes. 

The Psychology internship, called a 

work-study program, started in 1968 and 

was one of the first in the country to have 

students work full-time. 

Sixteen students are in the work-study 

program which, includes rehabilitation 

programs, drug abuse programs, working 

with emotionally disturbed children, and 

testing in Poughkeepsie High School. 

Students are given interviews by the 

agency before they take the internship and 

they hold a monthly seminar to talk with 

the other interns and discuss their 

problems with each other according to 

Christine McLean, director of the 

program. 

The work-study program is only open to 

second semester seniors who have completed 

all of their requirements said 

McLean.

BUREAUCRACY 

Gov't grants have a positive impact 

By Jane Neighbors 

In a time when it's popular to complain 

about government, educational grants are 

one area where government has a positive 

impact on students, says Judith A. Samoff, 

Marist grants research director. 

Marist has 21 federal or state grant 

programs in effect this fiscal year, and 

another 20 proposals have been submitted. 

About half the grants originate when a 

faculty member approaches Samoff with a 

proposal She says she usually knows what 

agency would likely fund it, and checks 

whether Marist might be eligible. She has 

also met with all faculty members, and is 

aware of their interests and requirements 

and can contact them when a new type of 

funding becomes available which they can 

apply for. 

A grant proposal is developed by Samoff 

with the appropriate faculty member and 

Business Officer Anthony V- Campilii. 

Other members of the adininistration and 

'- experts from government and other b> 

stitutions may also be involved. 

Proposal guidelines generally require 

Marist to show that it will develop a unique 

program which will make advances in the 

particular field. An exception is assistance 

to the educationally disadvantaged 

through on-going programs such as Upward 

Bound. 

In applying for a grant, Marist sets forth 

objectives it hopes to attain, procedures to 

, be followed; a system of evaluation, and a 

specific budget. Often nothing is heard of a 

submitted proposal for two to six months. 

Then approval may suddenly come in a 

letter to the "grants office or in an'announcement 

from a local government 

representative. For example, last summer, 

Congressman Hamilton Fish announced 

Marist would receive $1 million 

under a Title in grant from the Department 

of Health, Education land Welfare. 

If a grant proposal is rejected, the law 

requires that the institution be notified ,of 

the reason. Samoff may then ask for the 

comments of the review board,'which may 

range from two paragraphs to an extensive 

report and vary from praise to 

criticism of the wording. Some proposals 

are rejected because the governmental 

department has already approved so 

many for colleges of similar size or the 

same geographic location. Samoff says 

New York and California are the most 

difficult states for approval for this 

reason. 

Usually a rejected proposal is resubmitted 

after a six to eight month rewriting 

period. The Title m grant was turned 

down three times before approval. 

Once a grant is received, Program 

Assistant Elise Ross is responsible for 

seeing it is properly administered^ by 

working with the program director who is 

usually the original proposer. However, 

for the Title II grant Marist hired a 

director, Dr. Phoebe Cottingham. \ 

Grant money, usually received \ in 

quarterly or semi-annual payments,-is 

kept in a special account against which 

authorized personnel submit vouchers. 

Although- the budget is very detailed, 

occasional changes can be made. Ross 

says, for example, if money was allotted 

for a faculty member to fly to a seminar, 

he may spend less on transportation by

changed. However, since agencies expect 

the college to have most of the necessary 

equipment, this is not a large part of most 

grants budgets. 

Grants usually cover one year, with 

some being renewable. At completion, the 

"director writes a narrative report and a 

financial report, with the assistance of the 

college grants office. These reports show 

that Marist stayed within the budget, that 

guidelines were followed, whether -objectives 

were accomplished, and whether 

new courses are being offered as.a result. 

Some agencies require an audit. Others 

may choose Ma'rist, on a random basis, for 

auditing.

Cann sets next year's SG goals 

By Christopher Hogan 

Student Government president-elect 

Joseph "Mongo" Cann says he hopes to 

"get students more involved" and 

"become less passive"- next year in 

campus events. 

Cann hopes to get students more involved 

by forming a committee to require 

students to get more involved in campus 

events possibly through the use of a 

reward system. Cann could not give 

specific details. 

His other goals are to investigate different 

ways to improve the library 

because of a "definite lack of material," 

"extend more lines of communication 

between myself and the students," and 

remain open-minded.' to students and 

faculty. 

Cann hopes to "strengthen pride in our 

school" and send out newsletters about 

Council of Student Leaders (CSL) affairs 

and hope to set up a forum between 

students and the CSL. 

Appointments for CSL positions have not 

y.et been made by Cann because he wants 

nominations from incumbent CSL leaders. 

Cann did not know when his appointments 

would be decided. 

Cann added that he would like students' 

to voice their opinions about campus

Married and in college 

ByJoanSeergy 

Jack McCutcheon has obviously won the 

bet he made 3% years ago that he could 

pick up Bunny Reynolds. Today, they are 

married and living in Hyde Park while 

attending Marist. '; 

Bunny, 21 j is a senior majoring in 

History and Special Education. Jack, 22, 

majors in.Communication Arts with plans 

for a career in public relations. They attended 

rival high schools in Long Island 

and met at Marist. 

They were married'last December 17, 

and both agree it is difficuirto balance 

studies, work,-and marriage. Jack works 

"•as a.bartender at Mike's Tavern irr 

Pbughkeepsie.' He says, "It's really not 

that bad, it's just that you have to calm 

down a little from when your'e single." 

- They say they are both outgoing people 

and enjoy seeing their friends often. Both x 

< lived "on campus and were involved in 

campus activities. ' ^ 

She says "We both love to talk. It doesn't 

seem that much different/from when we 

were going out. It's still the same people 

that are around. It might have been different 

if we had gotten married and not 

- |,eome back up here, probably a big change 

then..." Jack adds, "We have our old 

friends. It will- probably change in the 

summer when everybody leaves." 

. ""Bunny graduates in May and is expecting 

a baby this summer. She eventually^ 

wants to teach emotionally 

distrubed children^ with behavior 

problems. Jack has one more-semester 

and hopes,* to get an internship at a corporation 

next semester. 

' • Having-the baby will mean some minor 

adjustments to their lifestyle, Bunny and 

.-Jack-agree. "No more late sleeping in the 

• morning or, really late nights. It could be 

rough,",rJack says„ '.'It'll be fun, too." 

It still happens; 

•* - * 

Learning to 

live together 

Bunny says, "I'm glad I'm young to grow 

up with the baby. Things take on a different 

perspective when you're young. It's 

not so much of a hassle." 

People assume that if you're married 

you'll be able to spend a lot of time with 

your spouse. But that's not true for Marist 

students Barbara and Charlie Blum. 

' They juggle two packed schedules and 

often don't have enough time to spend with 

each other. Charlie works 45 hours a week 

as a houseparent for 11 emotionally 

disturbed boys at the Country School in 

Rninebeck, while carrying a full course 

load. Barbara is pregnant, due in June and 

is taking 5 courses. - 

Barbara says, "We're so used to it, we 

don't even notice it." Charlie adds, "I 

guess you: have to leam to roll with the 

punches." 

Barbara, 20, is a junior at Marist, 

majoring in American Studies and Charlie 

is a senior, majoring injhistory. They met 

while attending high school in Kingston. 

Th'ey became engaged during their freshman 

year at Marist and were married last 

July. Charlie is from a family of 16 

children. 

They both lived on campus before getting 

married, Charlie for three years; 

Barbara for two. 

The couple say there are many setbacks 

and frustrations, but according to Charlie, 

"You just have to take it and nolblow up. 

That's where both of us come in. We rely 

on each other." 

They, say they work together well as a 

team. Barbara says, "Charlie's more 

easygoing than Lam. He takes everything 

in stride." Charlie says Barbara is caring 

and easy to get along with. He adds, "She's 

a good cook." Barbara explains further, 

"Whatever has to be done, someone just 

does it, no problem - except for the garbage."

Sorrentino 

looks back 

As he pours beer and jokes with the 

customers at the bar, Frank Sorrentino, 

owner of Frank's Bar and Grill, 

reminisces about the Marist students he 

has seen come and go for 15 years. 

A native of Poughkeepsie, Sorrentino 

has also seen Marist change and develop 

over the years. "At first the boys didn't 

like it when the girls first came in," said 

Sorrentino, "they had to change a lot of 

'their activities.",After a while though, 

Sorrentino said they began to like it. 

Sorrentino remembers the days when 

the MaristBrothers were still here and as 

he says, "the students were very serious 

then." Sorrentino said he sees a pattern in 

the changing attitudes of the students. 

Fifteen years ago, the students were 

serious, said Sorrentino, but then they 

seemed'to go a little wild and in the last 

couple of years they have seemed to 

become more serious again. 

Many Marist students have worked at 

Frank's throughout the years and 

Sorrentino said that some alumni drop in 

and some "even bring their children. Some 

of the kids who worked for me now have 

big jobs and it feels good because I think 

I've helped them in some way," said 

Sorrentino. 

'•Sorrentino enjoys having the students 

around and he says, "Marist has been very 

"good for the community" and the students 

"are all good people. They are all very 

sociable and have never given me any 

trouble," said Sorrentino. Frank's has a 

varied clientele during the day, but at 

night, "Marist is the main source of 

business," said Sorrentino. 

Sorrentino, father of four children, two 

sons and two daughters. One son, Robert, 

has been a bartender there for 7 years. 

"My wife even worked here for a while," 

Sorrentino said.

Circle poll finds 

other frosh dorms 

A recent Circle survey of six area 

colleges shows that although two colleges 

have dormitories designated solely for 

freshmen, only one school has restrictions 

which apply to freshmen only. 

With Leo Hall's transformation into an" 

all freshmen dorm next fall, new 

restrictions on freshmen will be instituted 

at Marist. 

Of the six colleges surveyed, including 

Vassar, Marymount, SUNY at New Paltz, 

Bard, Iona, and Manhattanville, twocolleges, 

Manhattanville and Marymount, 

have dorms solely for freshmen but only 

Marymount places special restrictions on 

freshmen. 

Marymount prohibits the consumption 

of liquor by freshmen in the dorm at all 

times while Marist will restrict alcohol use 

in Leo Hall from Sunday through Thursday. 

Unlike Marist, however, Marymount 

. freshmen live with a strict curfew their 

first year at college. , j 

Iona has only one dorm on campus which 

predominately houses 'freshmen only. 

Upperclassmen there are encourageoT to 

leave the.dorm after "their first year in 

order to give incoming students a chance 

to experience campus life. 

News class to 

get new teacher 

A number'of names 'are under consideration 

for the journalism teaching 

position vacated by Mimi McAndrew, says 

Dr. Richard, Piatt, Chairman of the 

Communications Department. wicAndrew 

plans to return to reporting after a fouryear 

teaching term. - ': 

. 

"~ — • 

p. 

Piatt says there were several recommendations 

by McAndrew and other 

department members, and some inquiries 

from journalism teachers concerning the 

•position. •.-'••/: .;. 

Piatt says that most of his attention.is 

now being focused on another hiring. "My 

time and effort is now in hiring a new 

broadcasting teacher for next year,", he 

says. "We should have that decision by 

next week, and then we'll begin looking for 

a journalism teacher." 

- Piatt says Marist will look for a journalism 

teacher who will work closely with 

the students "and hopefully stay for 

awhile." . 

"It's going to be a difficult bill to fill," 

says, Piatt. "It won't be easy to find 

another like Mimi, someone so willing and 

able to put so much more time in than just 

the three hours a week in class." ___ 

Bob Norman , Internship Director, says 

he does not feel McAndrew's leaving will 

have any ill affects on the intern program. 

"I just hope the new teacher will be as 

cooperative with preparing students for off 

campus journalism internships as Mimi 

was," he says. T-

Hard working women 

After five years of five a.m. work-outs 

for women's crew sometimes rowing in 

bitter cold, rain and snow, the team finally 

won their first race April 14 against 

Fordham, went on to win their next race on 

April 15 against Washington College, and 

then won their first regatta, April 21 

against Washington College and George 

Washington University. 

"They're a group of" hard working 

women who are now-determined to win," 

says Sharon Mallett, women's crew coach. 

She explains their first win as the result of 

team experience and a winter and fall 

conditioning program. "The eight girls, 

have 16 and a half, years of rowing experience," 

"according to* Mallett and added, 

"This is the first year that a winter 

and fall workout program has been put 

into effect." 

When women's crew first started they 

had three boats, "just because of curiosity 

"more than anything else," explained 

Mallett. "After the .curiosity died,, "we 

have been boating an eight arid sometimes 

with a four man boat," she said. "It's a 

very demanding sport in terms of physical 

endurance and dedication and-we have 

practices at five' or six in the morning. 

These deter people from joining," she 

explained. 

The crew's main limitation is that they 

are sharing their equipment with the 

men's lightweight. "Our practices are 

limited because of this," Mallett explained.

Community unaware of CSL work 

By Dave Shaw and and Jack McCutcheon 

Although Frank Biscardi, president of 

the Council of Student Leaders, says the 

student government has been "very 

successful". this year, he says many 

students and faculty are not aware of the 

organization's work. 

During the 1978-79 schooll year, the 

student government was restructured to 

the Council of Student Leaders (CSL). It 

includes the Student Activities Committee 

(SAC), the Commuter Union (CU). the 

College Union Board (CUB), and the Interhouse 

Council (IHC). 

me CSL's main goal this year was to get 

new structure to operate successfully. 

According to Biscardi, "We did accomplish 

what we wanted in the structure." 

Other accomplishments of the CSL, 

according- to Biscardi and Interhouie 

Council president Chris Faille, include a 

new student representative on the 

Presidential Search Committee, 

restructuring the Student Life Committee, 

and more careful budgeting than previous 

student governments. Faille added that 

the individual organizations in the; CSL 

accomplish additional things through the 

assistance of the CSL.He said an example 

is when the IHC changed the policy on the 

charging of common damages, it had the 

support of the CSL. 

The CSL/has one ^student on the committee. 

After an interview with the CSL, 

Jeff Blanchard was picked as the student 

representative. " -••"'•-.. \ .'•••'••' 

The /CSL has been responsible -? for

For budgeting, the student government 

set a list of guidelines for the Financial 

Board concerning the funding of the clubs, 

according to the clubs' needs, service to 

the community, and development of its 

members. 

Biscardi said, "Both the administration 

and faculty are in position to recognize the 

legitimacy of the student government in its 

representation of students and its support 

in having its students backing it."

Some of the faculty expressed mixed

women, that deals with rights to life, including 

topics such as abortion and child

change world 

By Christopher Hogan 

Idolizing Billy. Carter may'have 

something to do with the insomnia of Iriterhouse 

Council President and would-be 

revolutionary Chris Faille. : 

Faille, a senior Political Science maior, 

former actor and long-time insomniac, 

hopes to change the world upon graduation 

at Marist by .'spurring a Republican 

revolution and creating a third political 

party to "fill the gap for new blood in • 

politics." 

"I want to be a house intellectual and 

help create a third party through my. 

writing," Faille says. According to the 

-Faille theory, a third political party will 

emerge in 1980 and will serve. as a 

"moderate" to the forthcoming extremism 

in the Democratic and 

Republican parties. 

Faille hopes to reach his goals by 

becoming -an anti-trust lawyer or a 

politician and becoming Solicitor-General 

of the U.S. and arguing cases for the 

United States Supreme Court. 

Chris Faille 

express their opinions. He said that it is 

student government's fault that there is no 

student input. 

Gerry White, assistant professor of 

history, says he was impressed with the 

introductory meeting.at the year's 

beginning which explained to faculty and 

students the procedures and goals of the 

CSL. However, he says he was disappointed 

in the low turnout of his colleagues 

and students. 

Other people are uncertain of student 

government's accomplishments this year. 

Concerning if student government accomplished 

much this year senior Charlie 

Blum said, "Not that I've heard of." 

Junior Matthew Schmiemann said, "I 

don't know. I have no idea." Dr. Richard 

Piatt, communications professor, 

responded, "Not really." One freshman 

said, "I didn't even know we had a student 

-government." 

Of the 25 students, interviewed, 14 knew 

that Frank Biscardi is the student 

government president. 

Most people said student government is 

worthwhile to have, but question the effectiveness 

of Marist's present one. 

C. U, - not just a club 

By Deborah Adamowicz 

John Hughes 

Besides pondering the future of politics, 

Faille spends most of his time staying 

awake due to an extreme case of insomnia 

that allows him to sleep approximately 20 

hours weekly during the regular school 

schedule. On vacations he averages 20 

hours sleep daily. 

His other interests include chess, puns, 

drama and the Boston Red Sox. Faille has 

participated in three plays at Marist as a 

schizophrenic, a doctor and a nervous 

father about to give his daughter's hand 

away in marriage. He also was assistant 

director in his last production "A Streetcar 

Named Desire." 

Currently, Faille has received a four 

year tuition paid scholarship to Western 

New England College of Law. 

The 20 year old Enfield, Conn., resident 

says he has three heroes: iBilly Carter, 

«cause "he has proven that you can be a 

; erk no matter how famous your brother 

is?; Rodney Dangerfield,'"because I don't 

get no respect," and Bert Lance, "because 

I have no intention of paying back my 

student loan." ','-- 

Faille added that he will not be sorry to 

J leave Marist because he feels college is a 

/j "very, protective environment'-' and he is 

."impatient to get oh with life." 

* "I think ^there is a thin line between 

genius and insanity," he said. "I also think 

that I have every intention of spending my 

life on the line."

A car pool bulletin board was set up in.. 

the commuter lounge this semester. 

Hughes said the car pools "depend on 

student initiative." 

According to Hughes, the trip to New 

York to see the play "Sarava" on April 8 

was ^cancelled because "we. didn't have 

enough students. We needed 40 to. get the 

bus," but only'20 showed interest in,attending. 

Hughes said if it was possible to extend 

the deadline for intramurals, it might be 

possible to get commuters involved. "The 

only sport we were able to get commuters 

interested in was' volleyball," Debbie 

Drop, second vice president said. "The 

problem with softball this year is that it 

was split into men's and women's teams. 

When they're coed, it's easier to get people 

involved," she added. 

The monthly informational newsletter is 

put together by Debbie Drop. 

Hughes said: "This year's officers set an 

organization base for the future officers. 

We made the students aware of the 

Commuter Union and its role on campus. I 

think the CU officers did a good job this< 

year."

Maria Troiano 

Eye of 

the storm 

by Lark Landon 

College Union Board (CUB) President 

Maria Troiano is like the eye of a storm. 

After organizing the six committees which 

sponsored some 100 CUB eventsthis year, 

Troiano says she's learned to keep calm 

during a crisis. 

The 20-year old psychology senior 

recalls CUB's Labor Day-concert when the 

band's sound equipment blew a fuse in the 

McCann Center four times. Finding it 

"embarrassing" as the audience sat in the 

dark and "the band technician screaming 

and yelling and jumping up and down," 

Troiano says "it was just one of those 

nights-one of the ones you'd like to 

forget." 

But unforeseen problems are a routine 

part of the job, says Troi*»— _ who's 

learned to laugh "and fall.ai later." 

"I'mlikethehairsp'ray commeicial," she, 

added,. ; "her hair held up,.butshe didn't.",. 

Calling-herself an .'-'enthusiastic person, 

who wants to reform the world,"" Troiano' 

believes in involvement. As Student 

Government secretary her ' sophomore 

year,- vice president of Commuter Union 

her junior year," Troiano was on the CUB 

fine arts and • coffeehouse committees 

before becoming president. 

The 15 office hours and time spent at 

"the two to three" weekly CUB events has 

changed Troiano's career goals, she says. 

Graduating with a Bachelor-.of Arts in 

Psychology in May,.Troiano has been 

accepted in Cornell University's graduate 

school of management in the. Industrial 

Labor Relations department. She is also 

waiting to hear from Yale University. 

Troiano says her greatest reward as 

CUB president is "everytime you see a 

bunch of people having a good time, it 

makes it all worthwhile." • 

Blondes have more fun 

By Eileen Ryan 

Judging from the eternal smile on 

Commuter Union President John Hughes' 

face, one could become convinced that 

blondes do have more.fun. 

Having a good time is important to 

Hughes because "there's got to be more to 

life than material success." Yet it's easy 

to detect that there's also a very serious 

side of the CU. President. 

The youngest in a family with seven* 

children, Hughes' three brothers and three 

sisters provided him with "a lot of close 

ties and a lot of people to identify with. It 

seems like someone was always there..!" 

After high school Hughes enlisted in the 

Air Force.because he wanted to fly. But 

because he lacked college credits his. feet 

remained firmly planted/for.three years 

and nine months in places like:Omaha, 

Nebraska,-, and Shreveport, Louisiana, 

where he served as a surveyor. Although 

he says the'Air Force expended his social 

horizonvby bringing him,together with 

apeople,: from all, over - the country, ,he 

iilckly became disillusioned with military

outdoor art as a playground. 

In a recent Circle survey, Tara O'Reilly 

said, "It doesn't mean anything to me, but 

I'm sure it must've meant something to' 

whoever put it up.". 1 

"It certainly looks better than the 

peeling walls on the back of the library," 

said Dave MacMannis, calling the 

sculpture "a secondary eyesore." 

Another student said, "If those things 

were lying around a construction site, they 

wouldn't be art. Why are they are at 

Marist?" 

A common complaint among surveyed 

students was that the sculptures look like 

they should do something besides just sit 

there. 

"safe. 

"When I first found out that the art was 

not functional, I wondered who would be 

called in to clean it 'up," said Mike 

O'Meara. . 

Students enrolled in the Marist preschool 

disagree- that the art is nonfunctional 

saying they love to play on 

much of it. Parallels were drawn by the • 

pre-schoolers between the art and jungle 

% 

gyms.

' A communication arts .major said "I 

thought it was the first attempt at building 

the communications center." 

Another student said, "The word 

'eyesore' was coined to describe the 

sculptures at Marist.", .

Council, said "I think it's furniture for

outdoor art at Marist meant to him said

THE CIRCLE 

Fisher 

says 

meaning 

is. up 

to the 

viewer 


The woman who created the outdoor art 

display on the Marist campus says, "You 

can't make a literary statement about 

what it is." Mrs. Evelyn Fisher of the art 

department will say only that the sculptures 

are there because there was nothing 

there before and the college had no money, 

for art. She thinks people should look at 

them carefully and make up their own 

minds about them. 

Many of the pieces are described by 

Fisher as "found-art." Various items were 

salvaged at Marist and other locations, 

erected on campus and painted. There is a 

striped cylinder between Champagnat 

Hall and the old gymnasium which had an 

earlier life as a filter, at a swimming pool 

near the water works. 

Five identical pieces of metal in a row, 

which are in front of Champagnat, were 

' part of a heating system, where tfiey were 

known as "loin chops," according to 

Fisher. r , • • • 

The only representational art is a chess 

set by the .door into the north wing of 

Champagnat. Interpretation of the other 

sculptures is up to the viewer, says Fisher.

COLLEGE THROUGHOUT THE YEARS 

The1920 


College In the 1920*8 was an orderly life, 

of simple pleasures, strict regulations, 

required daily chapel and formal meals, 

where students were insulated from the 

outside world. 

In those. days before College Board 

exams, admission was not .difficult for 

those who could afford it, but little 

financial aid was available. Because of the 

career advantages, families sacrificed to 

send sons to college. But few women expected 

to work, so for them a degree was 

merely an advantage that a wealthy 

family provided. 

Freshmen year-courses were mostly 

requirements such" as English, Latin, 

The 1930 's 

By Deborah Adamowicz 

Walk-in' room inspections, bans on 

alcohol and bleak job prospects were faced 

by college students of the 1930's. 

Alcohol on the campus of Middlebury 

College in Vermont was "unheard of" in 

the 30's, according to Mrs. Russell Hadden, 

a 1938 sociology graduate. "This was . 

a New England school," she said. Punishment 

for roughhousing or having liquor on 

campus jwas restriction to the campus 

(called "being campused")W in severe 

cases, expulsion from the college. ' 

/Dorm students were,served sit-down 

mails.- "We had to be nicely dressed for 

dinner," Mrs. Hadden said. "Walk in room 

inspections could be held,- and students' 

were, responsible for cleaning their own, 

rooms., s *" . . , _ 

.Mrs. Elinor Sanford, is a 1932 graduate 

of City Normal School in Rochester, New 

York. "The Depression affected the job 

market. There were 30 in the class but only 

two had jobs when they got out," she said. 

Vassar College in the 1930's had wardens 

in each dorm, and maids at each dinner 

table. - • 

However, during the Depression of the 

30's, "the maid service went," according 

to Mrs. Marcia Greene, a 1931 Vassar 

graduate. , ^ 

"We went out to dinner on dates, and if 

you didn't have a date on Saturday you 

went to the movies in Poughkeepsie. After 

the movie, you went to "Texas Hot" 

restaurant for hot 'dogs and donuts."

The 1950's 

By JimTownsend 

The Korean War, replacing General 

MacArthur, the Rosenberg's trial, the 

capital punishment issue, and the anticommunist 

drive of Senator Joseph Mc

worried college students in the 1950's, says 

"Dr. Jeptha Lanning, a communications

Fraternities on campuses were involved 

in political disputes, says business teacher 

Jake Manness who went to the University 

of Georgia. During election. years,

were limited, with extra penalties before 

vacations or weekends. At some schools, 

two years of Reserve Officer Training 

Corp was compulsory for men, but did not 

lead to required military service. 

Dormitories and fraternity houses of 

the -20's were havens of gracious living 

where grace was said before sit-down 

meals served by uniformed maids or house 

boys who also cleaned the student's rooms. 

According to Helen Bennett, 76, a Vassar 

graduate, girls brought their own tea sets 

and made coffee or tea in kitchenettes on 

the corridor. Sometimes they also fried 

onions to cover the smell of smoke from 

forbidden cigarettes.

Vassar students in the 30's could smoke 

outside or in small special smoking rooms 

in the dorms "which were so teeny and 

smoke filled you couldn't see your friends." 

Alcohol wasn't allowed on campus. 

"Even when we ate at the College Inn next 

to the Juliet Theater, they didn't serve 

college.girls any alcoholic beverages." 

Fashions of the day at Vassar were silk 

dresses for Sundays and sweaters and 

skirts for classes. "Girls didn't wear

wore paint-splattered jeans. Girls "wore 

their hair in a bun, but they began cutting

campaign battles, JakeManess • This 

involvement in political activities created 

campus spirit, he says. 

Restrictions on women were x also 

common in,' colleges. There were no 

restrictions for men's dress during school 

hours, but women had to wear dresses or 

skirts at the University-of Georgia. If the 

women were seen walking around the,, 

campus in shorts, even on their way f to 

gym class,-they were dismissed from 

school. . * 

, Women were not_allowed past the first 

floor in the men's dormitories, says 

"' Manness. Curfews were set fottwomen but 

-, not men. Women had to,be in their rooms 

by 10 p.m. on weekdays and at midnight on 

weekends. If girls went home for the 

weekend, their homes were called to make 

sure: ,. / 

7 Since there were no women at Marist in 

the 50's, the dormitories were "quiet," 

says Lanning. The student-brothers had to 

wake up at 5:30 a.m., so were usually in 

bed at 10:00 p.m. There was no socializing 

at school. Lanning says most-evening 

hours were spent studying'and he considered

Life was so programmed there was little 

leisure time. Entertainment might be a 

walk, a drive for those lucky enough to own 

a car, or a trolley trip downtown to see a 

movie or have an ice cream soda. Dances 

were a rare treat calling for long dresses 

for women and tuxedoes or tails for men. 

Members of the opposite sex were seldom 

allowed in even the living room of houses, 

and only when a cbaperone was present. A 

fraternity at the University of Alabama 

• solved the problem when it built a new 

house which was the first on campus to 

have provisions for a resident 

housemother. 

A fraternity at Lehigh University 

pledged the doctor who was its favorite 

(least strict) chaperone, to guarantee they 

could get him for their house parties, said 

-Poughkeepsie resident Stephen Becker. 

Since Prohibition was in effect, drinking 

was forbidden, but some students could get 

bathtub gin or locally made wine in town. 

Freshmen often had to wear beanies and 

were subject to hazing by upperclassmen. 

All students had to be in their houses by ten 

or so each night, even on weekends. Except 

for flunking out, few students got in 

trouble in the regimented atmosphere.

•J/1„_ 

According to Gainer a 1972 and 1975 

Penn State University, graduate, college 

students got involved and voiced their 

opinions more to ^better their future. 

- "Student involvement was much higher, 

said Gainer, "Students wanted to have a 

say, and were more a part of the deicision 

making process." ._ 

Both students and faculty were concerned 

with the environment and the 

Vietnam War, said Gainer! He said 

.teachers cancelled classes to'protest, and 

- his final exams were cancelled one year 

-because his teachers protested the Kent 

State incident. 

According to Gainer the faculty, student 

relations were good. He said some 

teachers lived on campus, which created 

more of a "rohesiyeness and togetherness" 

among students. 

. Gainer said, the social activities were 

more small group type functions, in more 

of a "coffeehouse" style. He said students 

would organize in small groups to play 

chess, which was very popular, and that 

there was a, lot of guitar playing and sing 

"alohgs. 

When it was rumored Beatles singer 

Paul McCartney was dead, Gainer said 

students organized sit-ins in the cafeteria 

to listen to Beatle albums, because the 

truth of the rumor was supposedly hidden 

in a song. He said the group started out 

small in the afternoon and grew larger as 

the day wore on. According to Gainer/ this 

lasted all night and into the morning, and 

students would buy local papers daily just 

to keep up to date with the situation. 

Gainer said in the early seventies 

students seemed to be more into organized 

groups. He said today's students are more 

individually oriented, and keep more.to 

themselves. "Student involvement is 

much lower today, and there is a lot of 

apathy on campus," said Gainer. "Back 

then, students seemed more conscience 

and concerned with their futures." 

According to Pat Tuceling, college 

activities secretary, when she attended 

college, students were concerned 

academically and socially, but would give 

up a good time'rather than have their 

marks suffer. "College was pushed down 

our throats as if it were the only means to • 

an end," said Tuceling. "So much so, that 

students really worked." 

Tuceling, a 1974 graduate of the 

American International College in 

-Springfield, Massachusetts, said teachers 

took a great interest in the students. She 

said teachers-had concern for students 

academic and personal problems,, which 

would "inspire" students to do better. 

Tuceling said students didn't tend to 

follow norms when she attended college. 

"Students weren't afraid to be individuals," 

said Tuceling. "They weren't 

afraid of what they could achieve, and 

could find enjoyment in doing, something 

alone as much as they did with others."

Greenhaven: A personal glimpse 

There is an UP"iistake able feeling of 

total control at Greenhaven that is depersonalizing 

ana reassuring to a 

visitor. I was told that even the inmates 

feel safer when security is strong 

because they are protected from each 

other. .', ; 

Even to visit a staff member, I had to 

receive previous clearance, have a 

corrections officer (Co.) go through 

everything in my purse, then walk 

"through a metal detector. It went off, 

although I had followed instructions not 

to wear jewelry. The problem was 

found'to be a small metal snap on my 

coat.- 

My hand was stamped for an 

ultraviolet check on entering and 

leaving'. If I washed my hands while 

inside, would I have a problem getting 

out? I wondered. 

Finally, I was given a visitor's badge 

which stated I must always be escorted. 

In spite of all the precautions, the 

beeper my guide wore went off because 

someone wanted to know who I was,. 

where we were going, and why. 

Inside, much of flreenhavftn looks 

Editor's note: This is the personal 

reaction of Circle reporter Jane Neighbors 

who was granted to tour prison cells in 

Greenhaven Correctional Facility, a 

maximum security prison in StormvUle, 

just slightly drearier than most in 

stitutions. The casually dresseu men in 

the corridors could almost have been 

Marist students except they all wore 

uniform green pants and each group 

was escorted by a c.o. 

One constant reminder of confinement 

is the numerous gates. There 

is a feeling of being trapped in one 

section at a time which made me 

• wonder what would happen in case of 

fire. 

I became aware that the restrictions 

were for my safety when, at the end of 

one corridor, an unescorted burly inmate 

grabbed my fiveând-a-half foot 

tall escort around the neck and asked 

me, "How would you like to see me beat 

up a civilian in the corridor?" I made a 

joke of it and he laughed and let go. But 

I wondered what a female hostage 

would be worth, if he had grabbed me. 

The same thought occurred when a 

c.o. who took me into a cell block 

thought it necessary to say, "Don't 

worry about these men. They're all 

honor inmates." 

I was acutely aware of the complete 

lack of privacy for the men as I passed 

the row of cells. One inmate was using 

his toilet. When another invited me into 

his cell, I was embarrassed to be taking 

notes about the only piece of the world 

over which he had any control. 

After a two and a half hour tour, I was 

anxious to return to the free world. As I 

stepped out the door, I was stopped 

short by the beautiful view ahead of 

rolling hills and farm land. No one 

inside the gray walls would even know 

it was there.

are big dealers, but many of them are so 

mild I couldn't imagine them doing this." 

The courses are based on the curriculum 

needs of the 100 students in the program, 

and the limited amount of space and time 

to teach in. Therefore the program must 

be flexible, according to Salomon. Out of 

the 107 students last semester 13 are on the 

Marist Dean's List. Every year several 

inmates are allowed to study on campus. 

"When they first come to Marist, they 

group together, then they break apart, 

because they want to make it on their 

own," Waters said. A major problem 

which arises with the students on campus 

is when anything goes wrong, they are 

often the first person to be accused. 

"People don't all at once become angels, 

they've got other problems." Waters said, 

but there have been no major incidents 

yet. 

Twelve inmates have graduated from 

the program. Some have been employed 

by the college, another is a salesman for a 

major company, and another has gone on 

to graduate school. "It is an opportunity 

for them to become the people they want to 

become," Waters said.

McDonald: 

of the Year 

Kris McDonald shoots jumper against Stonybrook 

Paul Welsch 

Ron Gadzlala 

Team 

ByJimTownsend 

The Circle has named freshman women 

basketball player Kris McDonald athleteof 

the year for the 1978-79 academic year. 

Being considered a good athlete and not 

just a good woman athlete is invaluable to 

any woman, says Kris McDonald. 

McDonald averaged 18.2 points per 

game as a guard for the women's 

basketball team. She was chosen to the 

Eastern Association of Intercollegiate 

Athletics for Women (E.A.I.A.W.) All-Star 

team for small colleges as well as to the 

All-Tournament team at* Scranton, Pa. 

There were 42 teams in the tournament 

and 10 players were chosen to tine All- 

Stars. - " - ,- - 

McDonald considers it a compliment to 

be respected as a player by other coaches 

and especially men. She considers it 

flattering to be considered as a good 

athlete in \a school that thrives on 

"predominately male sports." 

McDonald has been playing basketball 

since-she was nine years old. At Clarke 

H.S. in Westbury, New York, she waschosen 

to the All Nassau County team in 

her junior year. " McDonald attended 

Hendrik Hudson H.S:,vMontrose, N.Y. in 

her senior year and was also chosen to the 

All-Westchester County^tâm.- 

' McDonald says she chose" Marist over a 

school such as St. John's because she "fell 

in love with the McCann Center'; and 

because of the location to her home in' 

Cortland, N.Y. At first she felt that it 

would be hard to adjust to a hew team but 

after a while she said the "whole team got 

along great. .--"". 

McDonald sees women's basketball " 

growing in the next couple of years'as they 

begin to play more competitive teams' and 

move into Division I. -The only problems 

she sees are that the women's team needs 

an assistant coach and "the van has to 

go." Both the men and the women 

basketball teams travel in a van to away 

games. 

This summer, McDonald intends on 

trying out for the junior team, that will 

represent the United States* in the Pan- 

American games. McDonald says the 1984 

Olympics are in the "back of her mind" 

but "are a long way off.", She says she 

doubts that she will play basketball after 

college but adds that -"things might 

change." 

' McDonald said the biggest highlight of 

the season was when the woman's team 

made the. Association of Intercollegiate 

Athletics for Women (A.I.A.W.) playoffs. : 

Other highlights were.when the Red Foxes 

beat Iona College'and'when she^scored 26 

points against Western Connecticut State 

College.

The Circle has named the Marist 

cross country team this year's team of the 

year for the year ending In December 1978. 

The 1978 harriers completed its regular 

season with a 14-3 record and a .824 winning 

percentage.'

After rising up from Division III to 

Division II rankings and carrying a squad 

of only 13 upperclassmen and 18 freshman, 

head cross country coach Rich Stevens 

expected to face his most toughest season 

ever at the helm of the Marist Running 

Red Foxes. 

The Red Foxes opened its season on a 

disappointing note as it finished eighth out 

of nine teams in the Glassboro Invitational 

on September 9. The team, using only 

three of its top seven ranked runners due 

to injuries, managed to place three 

harriers In the top 40 ranks out of 80 

competitors. 

"It's not a true indication of what we can 

do," said Stevens after citing the 

numerous injuries. He added that the team 

would perform better as the - athletes 

recover from their respective Injuries. 

But Marist overcame their injuries and 

lifted their season record to 12-2 on September 

31 by winning . the Southern 

Massachusetts Invitational meet and 

defeating four other teams. 

• The harriers knocked off Southeastern 

Massachusetts University, New Haven 

University, Plymouth State College, and 

Bryant College at the SMU.Invitational

returned the next day. "It took five good -

is very important-for the entire 

team's success," he added.- --- 

. The following week, the Running Red 

Foxes finished second out of five teams at 

the Mansfield State Invitational, Pa.- 

Marist defeated Mansfield State College, 

Alfred University, and St. John Fisher 

college behind the strong one-two punch of 

second place finisher Ron Gadziala and 

third place finisher Jerry Scholder. Matt 

Cole and Dennis Goff finished in fifth and 

eleventh places respectively on the 6.2 

mile hilly course. 

The Red Foxes closed out the regular 

season with a 14-3 record in -its best 

showing ever at the Intercollegiate 

American Amateur Athletic Association 

Championships with a fourth place finish 

out of 21 teams. Jerry Scholder was the 

.first Red Fox to finish the race in eighth 

place in 25:35 on the five mile course. Cocaptain 

Matt Cole-and Ron'Gadziala 

finished in 14th and 15th respectively. 

The following day, the Red Foxes 

traveled to the Albany State Invitational. 

Marist placed third out of twelve teams 

and.once again, Jerry Scholder led the 

Running Red Foxes with a fourth place 

finish in 26:01 ove'r the 5.05-mile course.. 

' "It was a nice job considering we ran six 

of our key varsity runners yesterday (at 

the ICiA's)," Stevens recalled. "Our best 

race will be our last one."; 

The Running 'Red Foxes finished the 

season with a fifth place finish in the New

Interest 

By Chris Barnes' 

With the return of spring and the annual 

inquiries about the absence of an intercollegiate 

baseball team at Marist, 

Director of Athletics Ron Petro explained 

what is involved in the establishment of 

new intercollegiate sports, citing the 

formation .of a club, the acquisition of a 

coach who would be willing to work 

without pay for a year and sincere student 

interest in the sport as a prerequisite. 

Petro outlined the' procedure which 

takes three years. It all starts with clearly 

exhibited' student interest and the formation 

of a club which operates informally 

for one year, holding' practices, and' 

perhaps a few scrimmages with other 

schools, says Petro. 

If .the club shows a continued student 

interest,-it can gain funding from student 

government in its second year- and 

possibly arrange a small number of games 

.with other schools. If the club is successful 

in terms of organization and interest, it 

can turn to the college for funding in its 

third vear. he added. 

•Marist ' currently offers an intercollegiate 

program consisting of 

thirteen .varsity sports including crew, 

soccer,.- lacrosse,, basketball, cross' 

country, - track, tennis,. inter-collegiate 

football, and volleyball. . 

• 

Two years ago women's'volleyball 1 

began as a club. Last year the club was 

-funded through the student government, 

putting together an eight game schedule. 

Next yearthe sport will be funded by the ' 

college. 1 y '.•','- :- ^ ' •• • ' 

"^That's.what.happened with women's 

volleyball," said. Petro. "We proceeded 

courage to admit that they will-try to do 

better next year. 

The No-Name Offense Award - 

presented to the lacrosse team for their 

neglect to put numbers on their jerseys to 

identify themselves during games. 

The "proof is in the pudding'? Award - 

presented to the women's basketball team 

for their ability to prove that a basketball 

team at Marist can have a winning season. 

The Largest Team Award - presented to 

the men's track team for their roster- of 

"about-seven or eight people." 

The Batman and Robin Award - 

presented to Rich Stevens because he acts 

as guardian to a band of cross country boy

slowly, but now-we're on an equal level 

with other colleges." 

Petro saw racquetball as a new competition 

sport in the works at Marist but' 

noted that there are currently not enough 

other colleges with teams to make'a 

racauetball team worthwhile.,. 

Fields and facilities at Marist include 

Lebhidoff Athletic field for football, soccer 

and lacrosse, a modern boathouse on the 

banks of the Hudson, and the McCann 

Recreational Center. The McCann center

By John Mayer 

Intimidation is a big part of a basketball 

game as head Marist basketball coach Ron 

Petro learned firsthand in 1964 while 

playing against ex-NBA star Nate Thurmond 

in a game between Petro's alma 

mater Manhattan and Bowling Green. 

After Petro scored 13 points in the first 

half, he was told by the former N.B.A. 

standout that he wasn't going to be able to 

score anymore, and needless to say he was 

well contained the rest of the way. 

This is just one.highlight of Petro's 

athletic career while attending Manhattan 

College from 196044 onischolarship. He 

had turned down other offers from 

Columbia, Maryland, and Brown upon 

graduating from Gorton High School in 

Yonkers, N.Y. in 1959. 

At Gorton, Petro was named to the All- 

Westchester County team as a forward in 

basketball and a pitcher in baseball, both 

in his senior year. He .was also named Con- 

Edison Athlete of the Week of Westchester 

County for his basketball performance the 

same season: 

Petro continued to play both sports in 

college, spending three varsity seasons on 

each. In basketball,, his first season was 

spent as a substitute, however,"in his 

junior year he got the opportunity to start 

, and took full advantage of it. He scored 

21.5 points a game, which put him amone 

the top 50 players in the nation in scoring, 

and also helped his teamto a 14-11 record! 

. Highlighting his junior year season were 

two 38 point performances, one againsi 

Fordham and the other which led his team 

to a defeat of Northwestern University at 

Chicago Stadium. 

in his senior year, Petro averaged. 18. 

points a game, which helped him enter the 

1000 point club, and graduated as the third 

leading scorer in the college's history. In 

his last season he was also named to the 

All-Metropolitan team by the Metropolitan 

Sportswriters Association. 

Other' well kown opponents in Petro's 

career include Happy Hairston when he 

was playing for New York University, and 

then went on to play for the Los Angeles 

Lakers, and Kevin Loughery, who played 

for St. John's University at the time, and is 

now coach of the New Jersey Nets.

Two Norweigians, a White Plains All- 

League player and Robert Cooper, brother 

of Marist halfback Gill, are among the 

possible newcomers to next fall's Marist

^soccer team. The team will lose : the:serT ; 

vices of seniors Zenone and Firmino 

Naitza, Russ Beckely, and Joe Curthoys 

next season. 

Coach "Doc" Goldman pointed out that 

next year's schedule will be tougher than, 

last year's but said, "We should be competitive." 

Specifically he added, "We 

should be all right defensively but we 

badly need a striker...someone who canput 

new sports 

the Mid-Hudson Valley with facilities for 

both men and women. The campus cannot, 

however, boast of a baseball diamond. 

The question of a baseball team is raised 

annually at Marist, but Petro noted a 

number of problems which prevent such a 

team in the near future. 

"The biggest problem is finding a field," 

he said. "You try and put in a big field and 

it just doesn't fit." 

--••• Even off campus fields cannot readily be 

acquiredi said Petro. because the few that 

exist are already being used by teams or 

organizations. Furthermore, a home field 

off campus would involve the added expense 

of transportation to home games 

and practices. "We're still working on a 

practice football field," said Petro. 

Petro said that baseball is one of the 

most expensive college sports. I would be 

second only to basketball and crew. He 

noted the costs of insurance, uniforms, 

equipment, and umpires, as well as the 

cost of housing team members after the 

school year has ended to allow NCAA play 

which continues beyond the close of the 

spring semester. 

"I .would rather, see additional funding 

for swimming and volleyball before we try 

to start something new," said Petro. 

Petro estimated the initial cost of 

establishing a baseball team at |8,000. 

As another future program at Marist, - 

Petro mentioned girl's soccer, but again 

noted the problem of locating fields. 

Petro said that the college used to have 

golf and sailing teams but that a number of 

difficulties led to their ends at Marist. The 

golf team was faced with a rapid decline in 

interest, and the sailing program had 

interest problems from its start. The

Tommy Homola could do the job. He 

credited the team with having a good 

attitude. , 

Returning players for the 1979 team will 

include Jimmy Downs, Matt Lovecchio, 

Tommy Homola; Kevin Black, Rich 

Heffernan, Bill Cooper and Ed Isaacson. 

The team will have a tough act to follow in 

trying to improve on the record of last 

season's team which lost in the semi-finals 

of the NCAA Division n regionals and 

finished the season at 9-6. 

teams were ultimately discontinued 2 

years ago when the budget was reduced. 

Swimming had little difficulty in 

establishing itself, said Petro, because the 

pool was already built. It was just a matter 

of recruiting talent, he added. ' 

Chances of new spring field sports are 

slim because all available fields already 

see constant use.
