"Jt sent off campus by Laverne C. Williams

For the first time in recent years, college officials forced River Day parties off campus as students marked the unofficial holiday last Monday with the traditional mor­ning wake-up call, drinking and revelry.

The event, traditionally held in the spring, occurred in the fall this year because of the upcoming rise in the New York state drinking age from 19 to 21, according to seniors at the event.

Approximately 150 students with 20 kegs were at the river at about 11 a.m. last Monday until they were asked to leave by campus Security, according to Joseph Waters, director of security.

Kegs were confiscated by Metro North railroad police and turned over to the Town of Poughkeepsie

Police Department, where students were able to pick up their kegs with the proper sales receipts, Waters said.

Students transported the kegs to a field at the Veterans of Foreign War post on Parker Avenue and Route 9G in Poughkeepsie, where the party ended at 6:30 p.m., ac­cording to Waters. Waters authorized use of college's van system to take some students back to campus. -

Unlike some recent River Days, there were no serious injuries and little damage to campus, except for one broken window in Leo Hall. There have been no arrests in con­nection with this year's River Day.

In 1983, damages cost the college up to $7,000. In 1984, senior Ken Bohan was seriously injured aftei falling from a cliff. This year,

Halley 's Comet — '80s style by Anthony DeBarros

"Comets signify corruption of the stars. They are signs of earthquakes, of wars, of changing of kingdoms...a common death of man and beast." — English writer Thomas Digges, 1556.

Contrary to popular primitive belief, death and destruction will not be on the agenda of Halley's Comet in 1986; the space traveller has instead opted for a more marketable image.

NO cataclysmic end-of-the-world talk this time around for the comet, whose 7.6 billion mile orbit brings it to our sun once every 76 years— no, no, no. Our Earthly perception of comets has chang­ed since medieval times, arid Halley's Comet '86 is more likely to reap a supernova of sales than scares.

"There's considerableexcitement," said Thomas Crepet, director of the John R. Kirk Planetarium at SUNY New Paltz, of-Halley's 30th recorded ap­pearance. "It has definitely become a commercial event. Manufacturers are pushing telescopes, charts, star-maps, pins, buttons and T-sirts. I've even got a glow-in-the-dark Halley's bumpersticker."

Amazing how perceptions have changed, isn't it? Today, people listen to E.F. Huttori. Back in 1456, they listened to the pope, and when Pope Calixtus III allegedly excommunicated a comet — later nam­ed after Edmond Halley in 1759 — and called it an agent of Satan, people believed! You have to forgive those early astronomers though, they weren't much brighter than the dark side of the moon — in their minds the sun revolved around the Earth.

Their modern counterparts are getting almost as excited. Amateur astronomers will first see the comet with telescopes in November, but if you don't have one, you'll have to wait until January, when it will be visible to the naked eye. The comet' will disappear from view as it rounds the sun in February, and we'll see it again in the early morn­ing skies of March. Halley's will be brightest in April, when it passes within 37 million miles of Earth.

Crepet's planetarium, not about to be left in a black hole, will do its part to heighten our Halley's awareness. As the comet brightens, it will hold observation sessions, and it's already been runn­ing an informational series called "Comet Halley: Once in a Lifetime." The next presentations are this Saturday and Sunday. For more information

you can call the planetarium at 257-2066. The information the planetarium provides may

be reassuring to some individuals. "There probably will be some people scared by this comet," said Crepet. "People are still scared by solar eclipses."

Hopefully, this time Halley's Comet won't cause the stir it did in 1910, when many people were ter­rified by it. A backwoods religious ;sect in Oklahoma was rumored to have sacrificed a young girl to ward off Halley's "evil," said Crepet. Rumors also abounded that the Earth would pass through the comet's tail, and some New York Ci­ty residents dug holes in Central Park to escape, "poisonous" gas. Two Texas men, however, were thinking in 1986 terms, at least until they wound up in jail. They were selling anti-comet pills.

Although you won't be needing anti-comet pills, you might find yourself digging into your wallet if you're serious about comet hunting. Crepet said Halley's will be dimmer than its last visit, and con­sequently, you may want to gawk at Halley's with a telescope. Binoculars would be a better bet, because they let you see a larger part of the sky. They will also make the comet appear brighter, since they have better light-collecting capabilities. A star chart may also be helpful, but the T-shirt and bumpersticker are strictly optional.: -..'_•,

After you've armed yourself with your new pair of binoculars, star map, comet chart and down jacket (remember, it gets cold in the winter), you're ready to find Halley's Comet. You'll want to wait, for a night when the moon is not out, because bright lights and even fog or dust will affect visibili­ty. Point yourself south and start walking. Because of the tilt of the Earth in relation to the comet, the

' further south you go, the brighter -^ and higher": in the sky — the comet will appear .If you've got a trunk full of cash lying around the house, you can go to Arizona, or even Australia, where the experts say viewing will be best. For information on where exactly in the sky to look, SI will get you Halley's Comet Watch '86 Newsletter. The address is Box 2188, Vincentown, N.J., 08088.

At least you won't have to worry about doom and destruction while you're stumbling through the darkness looking for Halley's Comet —that's all superstition, right?

Tell that to a young couple who stood in front of the United Nations building in New York City last week, waving a placard at the passing dignitaries. "Halley's Comet is coming," it read. "Repent, the end of the world is near."

Townhouse residents challenge eviction

by Christian Larsen

Nine Marist students were to be evicted from Townhouse C-7 yesterday after a party on Oct. 5 resulted in four alleged infractions of campus policy and housing rules, according to Steve Sansola, director of housing.

;.; The students will be moved to alternate campus housing, Sansola said. ..;.-/-,

The students issued an appeal to the college Judicial Board on Oct. 22 and to Dean Gerard Cox, Both appeals were denied.

C-7 residents said they had ac­quired a lawyer, to represent their case. The lawyer is currently negotiating with a Marist lawyer for an out-of-court settlement to the problem, the residents said.

Sansola said the four alleged in­

fractions resulting in the punish­ment were: failure to register the party with housing; charging ad­mission at the door; the presence of a minor at the party; and the in­appropriate behavior of a student towards housing officials outside the front door of the.townhouse.

. Residents of trie townhouse said they disagree with some of the alleged infractions. The students said they had a verbal agreement with North End Residence Direc­tor Marguerite Pakozdi to have the party. Pakozdi refused to comment.

The students also challenged the alleged infraction involving the minor. "The handbook cites the in­fraction as serving a minor. We had a minor present at the party, but he wasn't drinking," said

Alcohol policy due; Nov. 15 deadline set by Donald R. Godwin

With New York State's legal drinking age increasing to 21 in lit­tle over a month, Marist College has formed a committee to deter­mine an alcohol policy for drink­ing on campus once the change takes place.

The new Alcohol Policy Com­mittee comprises college ad­ministrators and student leaders,

'. according to Susan Ryan, student body president. The committee's goal is to make a proposal to the administration regarding an alcohol policy to be effective Dec. 1, the date the law takes effect throughout the state.

The committee has a deadline date of Nov. 15 to reach a final proposal concerning the policy,

Ryan said. Decisions that have already been

made, according to Peter Amato, assistant dean of student affairs, affect Champagnat Hall and all campus social events. The policy concerning these two areas will eliminate alcoholic beverages, he said. The freshmen dormitories will remain dry.

The current alcohol policy allows students 19 and over to drink in Champagnat Hall, the Pub, other upperclass dorms and any public places approved by the Office of Student Affairs.

A policy for the north end of campus has yet to be determined. However, according to Ryan, the committee is inclined to think that, the north end will not go dry.

Housing. Continued from page 1 Robert Carney, a C-7 resident.

The residents said that the minor, freshman Thomas Maloney, issued a signed statement claiming he did not drink at the party because of a bleeding ulcer condition.

Sansola said he believes Maloney's presence warrants ac­tion. "The minor should not have been at the party and the fact that he was constitutes a violation of college policy," Sansola said. He also said that the handbook only gives examples of college policy arid isn't the only factor in discipline decisions.

The townhouse residents also denied responsibility for the inci­dent outside between a student and Champagnat Residence Director David Yozzi. "He (the student) came from another party at Townhouse A-6," Carney said. "He wasn't even at our party."

He added that Yozzi "approach­ed the student without identifica­tion and told him that he'd settle the incident off-campus."

Sansola said Yozzi did identify himself and denies that Yozzi challenged the student to a con­frontation. He also said,"Thestu­dent's presence at the door area of C-7 is an indication that he was in­volved in that party."

Sansola also said that the college was not looking at the alleged in­fractions individually. "One infrac­tion leads to another and the whole thing builds," he said.

The C-7 residents also claimed that they were denied "due pro­cess" in their appeal. The college handbook states that students must be informed of violations within 24 hours after the incident. Resident Jim Ferguson said that although the party was on a Saturday, the students were not informed of the alleged infractions until Tuesday.

Administration gives final offer to secretaries The Marist administration

negotiating team Tuesday night delivered its final salary offer to the negotiating team for the Secretarial Clerical Association, according to Cathy Galleher, spokesperson for the SCA.

Galleher declined to reveal the terms of the offer. Contacted ear­ly Wednesday afternoon Emily Burdis, acting spokesperson for the administration negotiating team, said she had not yet been made

aware of changes in negotiations. 4 The SCA, a bargaining unit for

Marist's clerical workers,' has been negotiating with the administration for a new contract since the previous one expired in the begin­ning of July. The SCA has 60 full-time employees and 20 part-time ones. • ' •, - " ..

The five-member SCA negotiating team will go back to other SCA^members..this week to discuss the final offer, Galleher.

said. ;' "• The two negotiating teams,-. which have been meeting about once a week since May, are due to" meet again on Tuesday. •;•

Galleher said that while the ad­ministration does; not want to negotiate further, the SCA still wants to prepare a counter­proposal. "The administration is refusing to bargain with us any fur­ther but we do not want to think that six months of negotiations

have come to naught," she said. V Administration.negotiating team

members could not be reached for comment.

As of last week, the SCA negotiating team was requesting a 9 percent increase in salaries across the board and a longevity clause that would enable certain senior employees to get an additional pay increase. The administration negotiating team was proposing a 7.5 percent increase across the

board, according to Burdis, Marist's director of public information.

The SCA is no longer requesting an additional salary increase com­parable to other groups on campus, such as Maintenance and Security, Galleher said this week. Originally the SCA requested the pay equity increase in addition to the 9 percent increase.

Cernera takes over as advancement VP by Dave Rakowiecki

To many people in Washington and New York, Anthony Cernera is Marist College.

He is the voice and face of Marist that is shown to the public; and, as the newly appointed acting vice president for college advance­ment, he is responsible for presen­ting Marist to the outside world. Cernera was appointed to the posi­tion'earlier this month.

Cernera, a Bronx native who moved to Poughkeepsie in 1981, is now responsible for all external relations of Marist College, in­cluding fund raising, government relations.-alumni affairs and public information. " The responsibility doesn't

dampen his drive, and instead of looking at his work as just a job,

x Cernera.views himself as a man with a mission — for a small col­lege like Marist to blend its liberal arts program with a career or pro­fessional education.

To fulfill that mission, the col­lege needs to be'' promoted to

•* - iiil3PJ^SP^rnment a nd private in-. vestors^B'ut.wriy^jnxesit'in^Mjirist", college? "We're seen as a thriving, growing, dynamic institution," Cernera said. "We're a hot school, and people, foundations and cor­porations are interested in being associated with us."

Cernera has set six goals for himself for the year:-To continue Marist's growth in development and fund raising efforts; to work closely with the faculty and vice president of academic affairs in searching out funds for curriculum and faculty development; to deepen the sense of community through alumni and parent weekends; fur­ther regional and national exposure

in the media; maintain contacts - with national educational/institu­

tions by a high profile in Washington,- New York and Albany; and' work with each member of his staff on personal growth. / • ' • - . '

Cernera's past experience has provided considerable training for his job as a fund-raiser. He served as the director of the Bread for the World Educational! Fund from 1977 to 1981, which was establish-ed in 1973 to educate people about world hunger and influence world policy regarding it.

At Bread for the World, Cernera was responsible for annual fund-raising campaigns. He secured grants from more than 25 founda­tions and corporations including the Lily Foundation, the Ford Foundation and the Mellon Foun­dation., •Cernera also obtained government grants'from the Na­tional.-Endowment for the Humanities and the U.S. Agency for International Development, as well as being responsible for

-organizing..the national lobbying efforts of Bread for the World. •

^ S f f e ^ World, CeTnerajoihed Marist CbV lege as executive assistant to Presi­dent Dennis Murray. In 1984 He became assistant academic president.

"I'm very optimistic," Cernera said. "Lots of schools worry about dwindling enrollment and class cancellations, and we're the opposite." . . "The advancement program .depends on all elements of the school being committed to the mis­sion of the institution," Cernera added. "When the mission is clear and dynamic it makes advancement possible."

Marist students nabbed in theft by Douglas Dutton

•-"•V TTwoi-Marist .students jn.-.the.. Special-Academic-Program were arrested after allegedly robbing the Poughkeepsie Motor Hotel recent­ly, Town of Poughkeepsie police said.

Police identified them as Andre Hamm, 36, and Anthony Her­nandez, 19, both residents of the Royal Crest Apartments in Hyde Park.

The men were apprehended on Oct. 11 by police while alledgedly trying to leave the scene in a taxi, police said.

Hamm attends classes at Marist through the SAP, which allows

, parolees an opportunity to adjust from prison life to society, accor­

ding joJEmtty. Bur.dis, ..director .of/ public information..-'- Hernandez studies through the Job Core Pro­gram, also part of the SAP, which is designed for "troubled youths."

Police said Hernandez was charged with third-degree robbery, second-degree grand larceny and resisting arrest. Hamm was charg­ed with third-degree robbery and second-degree grand larceny, they said.

The money was recovered and no one was injured in the incident, police said.

According to Detective Sgt. James Burke, a man described as Hispanic entered the hotel lobby at

2:45 a.m. with a knife, robbed the .night clerk and put him in a cioset. •;The clerk called police, who later .stopped a taxi carrying a Hispanic man and another man. The clerk identified them and they were arrested.

Both were arraigned before Town of Poughkeepsie Justice Ira Pergament and later sent to Dut-. chess County Jail. Hamm is being held in lieu of $30,000 bail, and Hernandez in lieu of $25,000 bail.

The men were ordered to appear in court at a later date.

Hamm is on parole for second-degree attempted robbery in New York City, according to Dick Polk, a parole officer with the New York State Division of Parole.

What New York's new drinking law says Editor's note: The following is

New York State's new drinking law which will go into effect Dec. 1.

AN ACT to amend the alcoholic , beverage control law, the general obligations law and the penal law, in relation to certain prohibited sales, offenses, practices, and conduct.

The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows: : Section 1. Subdivision one of section sixty-five of the alcoholic beverage control law, as amended by chapter one hundred fiftyrnine of the laws of nineteen hundred eighty-two, is amended to read as follows:

1. Any person, actually or ap­parently, under the age of (nine­teen) twenty-one years;

2. Section sixty-five-a of such law, as amended by chapter three hundred seventy-three of the laws of nineteen hundred eighty-three, is amended to read as follows:

3. 65-a. Procuring alcoholic beverages for persons under the age of (nineteen) twenty-one years. Any person who misrepresents the age of a person under the age of (nineteen) twenty-one years for the purpose of inducing the sale of any

.alcoholic beverage, as defined in the alcoholic beverage control law,

to such person, is guilty-of an of­fense and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine of not more than two hundred dollars, or by imprisonment for not more than five days, or by both such fine and imprisonment.

3. The section heading and sub­division one of section sixty-five-b of such law, as amended by chapter one hundred fifty-nine of the laws of nineteen hundred eighty-two, are amended to read as follows:

Offense for one under age of (nineteen) twenty-one years to pur­chase or attempt to purchase an alcoholic beverage through fraudulent means. l..Any person under the age of (nineteen) twenty-one years who presents or offers to any licensee under the alcdholic beverage control law, or to the agent or employee of such licensee, any written evidence of age which is false, fraudulent or not actually his own, for the purpose of pur­chasing or attempting to purchase any alcoholic beverage, may be ar­rested or summoned and be ex­amined by a magistrate having jurisdiction on a charge of illegal­ly purchasing, or attempting to il­legally purchase an alcholic beverage. If a determination is made sustaining such charge the court or magistrate shall release

such person on probation for a period of not exceeding one year, and may in addition impose a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars.

4. The section heading and sub­division one of section 11-100 of the general obligations law, as add-. ed by chapter six hundred forty-one of the laws of nineteen hundred eighty-three, are amended to read as follows:

Compensation for injury or damage caused by the intoxication of a person under the age of (nine­teen) twenty-one years. 1. Any per­son who shall be injured in person, property, means of support or otherwise, by reason of the intox­ication or impairment of ability of any person under the age of (nine­teen) twenty-one years, whether resulting in his death or not, shall have a right of action to recover ac­tual damages against any person who knowingly causes such intox­ication or impairment of ability by unlawfully furnishing to or unlawfully assisting in procuring alcoholic beverages for such person with knowledge or reasonable cause to believe that such person was under the age of (nineteen) twenty-one years.

5. Subdivision four of section 260.20 of the penal law, as amend­ed by chapter one hundred fifty-

Alcohol. Continued from page 1

In determining a policy, the com­mittee will be taking into considera­tion the liability of the college once the law takes effect. According to

Ryan, the committee has met with one of the college's lawyers to discuss its responsibility.

According to Paul Sullivan, the college lawyer, Marist should make a policy that is consistent with the

law and is clear cut, and will satisfy the needs of both the college and the law.

According to Betty Yeaglin, director of college activities, the Pub will close as a dispenser of

alcoholic beverages following the Thanksgiving break.

With the closing of the Pub as a bar, a new non-alcoholic format is being sought, according to Gerard Cox, vice president of stu­dent affairs.

The new legislation will prevent a majority of Marist resident students from drinking legally.

Statistics from Yeaglin show that on Dec. 1, there will be 339 resident students who are 21; by March 1, '407 will be 21; and 478 will be 21 by May 1. There are 1,800 resident students.

nine of the laws of nineteen hun­dred eighty-two, is amended to read as follows: " 4. He gives or sells or causes to be given or sold any alcoholic beverage, as defined by section three of the alcoholic beverage con­trol law, to a (child) person less than (nineteen) twenty-one years

old; except that this subdivision does not apply to the parent or guardian of such a (child) person; or

6. This act shall take effect on the first day of December next suc­ceeding the date on which it shall have become a law.

—~Page 4-THE CIRCLE - October 31, 1985 —

A token gesture "Convocation Day?" the students asked. "Was there a Convoca­

tion Day last week? We didn't notice." :.; ••. '• ;.;£: Maybe they didn't notice because, as often is the case,-students

were preoccuppied with other significant topics such as "when is River Day?" But more than likely, it was because they never received their invitations requesting them to register for Convocation activites. ,

Only handfuls of invitations were distributed in a slap-dash way to resident students. Some invitations were mailed to commuter students; But most of those who did receive them could hot be bothered to "notify Ronna Gossett in the Local History Room in the Marist College Library-by Oct.15" as required for students who wanted to come.

What kind of student attendance did administration want?;Dorms did not re-open until Wednsday noon, about three.hours after Con­vocation activities were scheduled to begin. The message was clear to the students. Take an extra day off so the faculty can gather and toss their ideas around aboutglobal education and computing. Even some faculty members were miffed that they had missed out on that extra free day themselves. •'•-,

Well, River Day has come and gone. So has Convocation Day. Which will be "remembered this year?

In just three years, Convocation Day has evolved from-being so hallowed that it was,mandatory for students to attend, to where it is now, an alternative to having.another day off for midterm break.

In the fall of 1982, students were required to register at Convoca­tion Day and then special lunch passes were issued to the students. Students could not get lunch without a pass. Those who could not attend for legitimate reasons were expected to have their parents notify the school. In the spring of 1984, when the subject was human rights, Marist found it prudent to make Convocation Day optional.

Last year, there was no Convocation in the fall because classes had been cancelled the previous Wednesday for a faculty meeting. The school did not think it wise to then further omit class time.

This year students were politely invited to attend. How odd it seem­ed that the nine students that did show were recognized by the facul­ty with a round of applause.

Perhaps we should all think about this disappointing Convocation-students, faculty and administration. Students should think about motivating themselves to attend more than just River Day at Marist. Faculty must share in the responsibility of making students awareof Convocation Day and the experience that can be obtained from at­tending it. And administration should seriously address the question of whether Convocation Day belongs at Marist or if it should be put to rest. Can better planning salvage Convocation Day and make it a worthwhile effort? '

As Dr. Kutzner said in her Convocation address, "we are all students in this together so let's learn from what we do and help to educate each other."

Answering Service

by Rosemary Olsen

Q. As an incoming freshman this summer, I received from Marist a series of tests which I completed and returned. I was wondering what the tests they will be used for and if I will ever see the results. How do I o about go about finding out how I did?

A. What you are talking about is the Freshman Survey Program which has been offered as a ser­vice by the college since 1978. Ac­cording to Roberta Amato,.-. director of counseling services, the surveys are solely for ... the student's benefit.

The survey includes the SSHA which measures study habits and attitudes and the student's general view of academics and techniques; the Omnibus Personality Inven­tory, which looks at personality characteristics, and intellectual disposition; and the Strong-Campbell SCII, an inventory which assesses career interests.

Amato stressed that these tests are not used as psychiatric in­struments and that they are not us­ed to judge students. They are cover feedback in areas relating to being a college freshman and help the student assess himself or herself.

Results of the tests are currently available in the Counseling Center. Appointments may be made to review your results with a member of the Counseling Center staff by calling ext. 201. All information is confidential.

Q. I am a new resident of Dut­chess County and I am having alot

of trouble with transportation. I'm not sure what is available, much less what goes where and where I have to go to. get different buses and trains. Is there a brochure or something I can get which covers the different types of transporta­tion in Dutchess County and how much each type costs?

A. Besides the buses which run through the city of Ppughkeep-sie.the most convenient and inex­pensive means of transportation are the Loop and Mountain View bus systems. These buses run north, as far as.Rhinebeck and Tivoli and south as far as the'South Hills Mall. Mountain View goes all the way to Beacon. :

The starting point for the Loop buses is Main and Market Streets, and Mountain View starts from the bus terminal on Market Street. Both will stop on Route 9 at passengers' requests.

There are two main taxi services in the area: Central DuBois, 471-1100, and Chariot Taxi, 454-TAXI. Prices are set by zones and begin at $2.50.

Buses and trains run on a fre quent schedule as far southas New New York City. Shortline buses leave from the terminal at 96 Market Street (454-6220), and Metro North commuter railroad runs from the Poughkeep-sie train station, 41 Main Street, (452-6900) to Grand Central station.

For additional information and bus and train schedules, contact Dutchess County Transportation Information, 41 Main Street, Poughkeepsie, NY 12601, 485-4690.

The Real World

Of Meese and minstrels by Carl MacGowan

Now that vacation is over, it's time to play catch-up with the news.

You've heard of police reading a-suspect hi§ Miranda rights.. In the.. future, suspects may be getting their Meese rights.

Attorney General Edwin Meese III recently took on the judicial system by questioning the tradi­tional principle of "innocent until proven guilty." Said Meese: "...the thing is,, you don't have many suspects who are innocent of a crime. That's contradictory. If a person is innocent of a crime, then he is not a suspect." -

; Wait, there's more: "Miranda only helps guilty defendants. Most innocent people are glad to talk to the police." In other words, if you're arrested for something and you request a lawyer to find your way through the judicial labyrinth, you're guilty. Case closed. So the Meese warning would read:

"You have the right to remain silent; however, anything you don't say can and will be held against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you so choose, you may be found guilty without benefit of a trial..."

The rehabilitation of Richard Nixon continues.

Nixon was chosen to arbitrate the major league baseball umpires' request for a raise. It's real simple: he listens to both sides, and he decides which financial package is the most reasonable.

As long as Nixon doesn't insist on bringing a tape recorder to the proceedings, I suppose there can't be too much harm done. But what bothers me is the message to the country, that a man who could single-handedly disillusion an entire nation can be returned to the

spotlight with.' his image untarnished.

I'm all for forgiveness, but Nix­on, to me, is more dangerous a crook than a thief or a murderer. Unlike your working-class friends, NixonJheld responsibility/or an en­tire nation and abused his powers for personal gain. He carried out the laws of the land, and he broke them as cynically as if the laws did not exist at all. Since his resigna­tion, the closest he has come to an apology was when he said that, if he had it to do all over again, he would be more careful. I.e., he wouldn't let himself get caught.

Baseball is concerned about its image in the aftermath of the drug trial inPittsburgh.But not so con- • cerned that they won't help the

. country's greatest crook to make a comeback.

i ***** - The release of the latest good­

will record, "Sun City," nicely crystallizes the difficulty of calling for sanctions against South Africa. While a translation of the lyrics was not yet available at press time, I've figured out this much: The singers are vowing not to perform at Sun. City, an entertainment complex in one of South Africa's phony homelands for blacks.

That's fine, but don't these same singers have their records sold in that country? Have they asked their record companies to cease the sale of their records in South Africa? Besides that, what about such American-sponsored dictatorships as the Philippines, South Korea, Haiti and Chile? Will the artists avoid those lands, too?

Sanctions often hurt the wrong people. The oppressed lose their jobs, but the government rolls stub­bornly along. In the same way, de­nying blacks some semblance of Western culture (liberally defined, that is) takes away some hope that

there is a better life for them. If Bruce Springsteen can give hope to Americans tired of injustice, etc., can't he and his compatriots do the same for South African blacks?

The anti-Apartheid movement is great, but it's not as simple as call­ing for sanctions. And'south Africa is not the only American ally destroying its own people.

***** Finally, there's this matter of the

Achille Lauro hijackers, who presented a textbook case of how not to do it. ,-.-•

First,, you hop aboard the boat and spend a few days getting a nice tan and taking a dip in the pool; then, you take over the ship and de­mand the release of some pals in an Israeli prison; so far; so good; then, you kill a guy in a'wheelchair, 'dump him in the Mediterranean and tell the other passengers that he was flown to a hospital on shore; when the Egyptians invite you to a free ride home, no strings attached, you jump at It — forget­ting your pals in Israel; appear on a tugboat and wave to the cameras on shore; get flown in the general direction, of the Western hemisphere and get trapped by a squadron of F-14's.

The U;s. wants these clowns to be tried in America, for obvious reasons: We haven't had a good judicial circus since Bernie.Goetz. We need this trial _ so the '88 presidential aspirants can jump around in outrage at these morally reprehensible acts; so our third-rate news organizations can use WWIII headlines to announce that the hi­jackers have AIDS or were hired by Bobby Kennedy to kill Marilyn Monroe; so Ed Meese's lawyer friends can make a quick killing in a drawn-out trial; and on and on and on...

Deterrence? Forget it. Terrorists believe they have nothing to lose. The hijackings will continue.

VIEWPOINT: a Marist and the new drinking law

by Chris Desautelle

The new Alcohol Beverage Con­trol Law recently passed by the New York State Legislature will raise the legal age to procure alcoholic beverages from 19 years old to 21 years old.

This law will have a profound ef­fect on Marist College, forcing Marist to make many radical changes in all aspects of campus life. One such area will be that of

extra curricular activities (i.e. mix-. ers, pub nights, etc.).

I have had many people, both student and staff, approach me with questions concerning these changes. Specifically, their are two basic concerns that seem most unclear to students. The first deals with events that now serve alcohol, and the second concerns the Pub. Therefore, I would like to take the rest of this viewpoint to discuss these two concerns, and to offer my view of what future program-

Life of a freshman by Andrea Kincs

Freshman life is radically dif­ferent than anything I've experienc­ed before. It is lots of studying, hard work and wild and crazy fun. That doesn't tell the whole story but how I feel about life here at Marist is on an emotional level and it is hard to describe in those terms.

Dorm life...What can I say? It's definitely something that takes get­ting adjusted to. How do you like next to no privacy, community bathrooms, and a noise level that extends past midnight causing a serious sleep deficiency resulting in a lack of attention in classes?

Dorm life is for you if you like "cute sayings" on your memo board from the guys downstairs

-(that's before someone-actually stole the memo, board), knocking on doors and phones ringing at all hours of the night. One of my friends has a basketball fanatic who excels at dribbling the ball in his room above hers around eleven at night. I, on the other hand, have a world-class marble bouncing champion player who likes to drop a marble on his floor (my ceiling!) just as I am finally getting to sleep.

Sleeping at night is a lost art reserved for high school students and other noncbllegiates. The on­ly time to really sleep is either dur­ing the day or during a less than in­teresting class.

For some, college is the first time they have been away from home and it is a traumatic experience. Some discover that homesickness accompanied by missing their boyfriend/girlfriend and other friends back home is just too much to take under these pressures. These few quickly pack it in and go home realizing that college life is not for them. But for the majority who adjust, Marist is a worthwhile investment; one they enjoy.

There are many nocturnal ac­tivities freshmen take great delight in. A particular freshman likes go­ing to the Palace Diner with friends at the midnight hour and ordering breakfast foods. It has recently been noticed by several stores and a gas station owner that many of their signs are missing. Others prefer going out to such places as SKINNERS and the infamous ROCKWELLS. And, of course, there are always "river parties."

A major complaint freshmen have is the dropping of items from windows above such as pizza crust, peanut butter sandwich pieces, water, cigarettes, and paper. It is quite annoying to walk in your room and find pizza crust or ashes on your newly-washed clothes. Laundry is another problem. You can either put it off for two weeks until your closet is two feet deep in dirty clothes or you can force yourself to do it every week. Per­sonally, I don't mind doing laun­

dry but I loathe ironing! One good thing about college life

is how many people you can meet. At Marist, everyone is so friendly and courteous. Within the dorms there-is a sense of family and you can feel free to borrow things from your neighbors without, feeling awkward or uncomfortable. I fre­quently am stopped while walking to class by people that I know just to talk or acquaintances that say "hello" as we pass by. There is a sense of family not only in the dorms themselves, but within the whole school itself. At Marist, you are not just another face or just a fellow student, rather you are an important member of the college.

Andrea Kincs is a freshman at Marist.

ming on what the Marist Campus will be like.

After December 1, 1985, every event held on the Marist campus that uses the student activity fee will be a non-alcoholic event. Because every student pays an ac­tivity fee, any event that uses this fee must be open to the entire stu­dent population. After all, they helped pay for the event, they should be allowed to attend. Yet if an event serves alcohol after the new law takes effect, over 75 per­cent of the student population will not be able to attend. They will be under age.

By Dec. 1, only 339 Marist students will be 21 years old and by May 1,1986, only 478 students will be able to legally purchase alcoholic beverages. Such small numbers make it inconceivable to offer separate rooms for alcohol at events, which is now being done. Therefore, any organization on campus that uses the student activi­ty fee, including the College Union Board, must program events that all students can attend. And because the majority of the campus will be under age, activities must be non-alcoholic.

Contrary, to what many believe, I think these non-alcoholic events will be well attended by the student body. Many believe, and have told me so, that once the new law takes effect, all events on campus will die. These people feel that the stu­dent body will not attend a Marist function if no alcohol is served. But I would like to point out two

'ATTENTION ALL RESIDENT STUDENTS*

ALL CURRENT RESIDENT STUDENTS WISHING TO RECONFIRM THEIR COLLEGE HOUSING FOR THE SPRING 1986 SEMESTER, MUST BE PRE-REGISTERED FOR AT LEAST 12 CREDITS (SPRING 86) AND DO THE FOLLOWING:

2) PAY A $75.00 ADVANCE ROOM DEPOSIT TO THE BUSINESS OFFICE BY NOVEMBER 15, 1985.

THE DEPOSIT IS NON-REFUNDABLE

reasons why I do not feel this will occur. First of all, Marist is not an isolated case. The new drinking age is not Marist policy, but New York State law (which is the result of a national law). Therefore, no mat­ter where a student goes, on or off campus, if he or she is under the age of 21, they can not legally pur­chase alcohol.

The second reason for my belief stems from the fact that the change to non-alcoholic events will not be that noticeable. The College Union Board has sponsored many well at­tended alcohol-free events already this semester. As a matter of fact, of the 20 events we have had this semester, only two were alcohol related. Some past examples of non-alcoholic events include stu­dent talent nights, hypnotist Ken Weber, singer/comedian Marty Bear, and a host of others. Marist has already started the transition to alcohol free programming. • If anything, I believe events at

Marist are going to improve in quality. Any organization using the student activity fee will be forced to develop new, creative programs. This will result in a new type of programming on campus. For next semester, the College Union Board has already booked an ex-CIA spy who will talk about his exploits, and a comedy group who call themselves ImpoyBoston that creates spontaneous comedy using audience participation.

The Pub is going to go through .one of the biggest transitions as a result of the new law. After Dec.

1, the Pub will become a dry area, serving no alcohol at all. It will become a place to eat, much like the Barge, and a social gathering place for the entire Marist com­

munity. It will also become a ma­jor place to hold events, and the College Union Board has many such events already planned, in­cluding Large screen Monday night football games, a video jute box, cabaret singers, comedians, and so on. To reflect this new image, the Pub will probably be renamed.

Finally, to create additional non­alcoholic programs, the College Union Board has formed the Inter Collegiate Activities Network (ICAN Productions), which is a programming board made up of representitives from Vassar Col­lege, the Culinary Institiute, and SUNY at New Paltz. Also in the works are activities such as a stu­dent/faculty volleyball game or student/faculty talent show.

In closing, I would like to say that if it were not for the new law raising the drinking age, nobody would have been forced to develop these new creative and innovative events. No organization on campus would have been forced to seek out these alternate forms of program­ming, and I think that would have been a loss to the entire Marist community. This law will have a

"net positive effect on campus events, not the negative one so many seem to think. Chris Desautelle is a senior majoring in business marketing. He is president of the College Union Board.

Sound barrier

Brucemania by Kenneth F. Parker J r .

Last August during the third hour of my wait for coveted Bruce Springsteen tickets, a group of fans near me discussed their fears con­cerning Mr. Springsteen's future.

"We had better see him now because after this tour Bruce is never going to be the same," said one man.

"What do you mean?" asked his friend.

" I mean the Boss has everything now — millions of fans, tons of dough, fame, even a beautiful wife. He's just going to lay around, get fat and raise a family," the man replied.

He then performed an impres­sion of an overweight and frail-voiced Springsteen singing "Born in the U.S.A."

Now two months later, Springs­teen has finally hung up his head­band ending a 15-month concert tour. Whether the prophesy envi­sioned by the fan above comes true remains to be seen. But what can be analyzed is Springsteen's ascent from rock's best kept secret to worldwide superstar.

Anyone doubting Springsteen's impact obviously has not visited a

newsstand within the last six months. Seems you can't even buy the day's newspaper without seeing him peering out from any of several magazines. And the times you purposely avoid looking at the magazine section thinking you're safe, he's inside the paper you've just bought.

It was considered a major event in 1975 when both Time and Newsweek featured Springsteen on their covers. No other rock per­former before then or since then received that distinction. But this year? Huh, Time and Newsweek nothing. In August our hero cap­tured the covers of both the Na­tional Enquirer and the Weekly World News within the same week. No wonder your mother suddenly likes him, she probably thinks he's one of those soap opera stars turn­ed rock singer.

The media attention Springsteen has received raises a number of questions. Among them: Has the media reduced Springsteen to some cartoon or mythological figure who can do no evil?

Perhaps the greatest challenge of Springsteen's career will be his handling of his own persona. From a credibility standpoint, it could be

The Other Murray

debated whether a multi­millionaire artist is able (or even has the right) to accurately reflect the concerns of the working class. He will have to distance himself from the hype and sensationalism. Meanwhile, to remain accurate he must not lose touch with the com­mon man.

But ironically, since Springs­teen's themes deal with his au­dience, it would seem near impossi­ble to reduce the amount of media exposure brought on by those very same fans. His fans are so com-mited because they feel he is one of them. Jeans and T-shirts are the norm onstage and off. He even uses poor grammar. But an artist cannot have mass acceptance and complete career control too. Especially when those fans are the subject of the artist's work.

In the past when Springsteen had approached the edge of superstar-dom, he responded with what has become a most useful tactic — silence. Two or three years have separated all of Springsteen's work. And after the "Born in the U.S.A." hysteria, it seems exactly what is needed. Especially in these days of ssveating it out on the street of a runaway American dream.

This Week

All washed up by Julia E. Murray

The room is dimly lit, and very damp. The paint seems to be peel­ing around the edges and there are cobwebs in the corners. As you dance around the floor trying to avoid stepping in the puddles, while promising your first-born child to anyone who will lend you a quarter, you begin to wonder why you must endure this misery every week or two. The answer is: you need clean clothes.

Dirty laundry is something we all have to face, especially when it is

SCA. Continued from page 3 equal to the raises already receiv­ed by the college's confidential secretaries, who serve senior ad­ministrators and are not part of SCA. There are approximately seven confidential secretaries on campus.

During the negotiations, about 35 Marist secretaries and clerks protested salary levels during a noontime picket at Marist's north entrance Oct. 8.

SCA members picketed to call public attention to their request for better wages and benefits, Galleher said.

Galleher said she thought the picketing was successful in demonstrating the group support of the SCA members to the ad­ministration, the Marist communi­ty and the public.

As spokesperson for the ad­ministration negotiating team, Bur-dis said SCA members had a right to express their view publically. They made their point in an order­ly fashion, she said.

strewn all over the room. Sooner or later, the poor clothes must be put out of their misery, if only so you can find your bed again.

The first step in doing laundry would seem to be an easy one,, namely finding your clothes. This can be trickier than it looks, however, since you can never be too sure just where the clothes you wore last Friday night are hiding. Hopefully, if they're not in your closet they're under the bed.

Once your clothes are gathered up, it's time to gather your friends up. No matter what other people may have said to the contrary, it is physically impossible to do your laundry by yourself. After all, who will push the elevator button if you're alone?

The actual trek to the laundry room is, of course, different for everyone. The people in Leo will probably be slightly grey at the temples by the time the elevator reaches the ground floor, while the Champagnat people will have left their stomachs roughly two floors above Ground (the latter being the result of traveling at Warp eight).

Not everyone is fortunate to have an elevator in their building, as the residents of Sheahan and Marian can testify. Since hernias are part of the fun of college, though, we can't feel too sorry for them having to drag huge laundry bags up and down long staircases.

Actually, when you get right down to it, not everyone is for­tunate enough to have washers and dryers in their buildings, let alone elevators. Just imagine the fun the residents of the Garden Apart­ments will have when winter comes and they have to walk across the courtyard to do laundry. Picture a tiny muffled figure bravely trudg­

ing through a blizzard clutching a five pound bag of dirty clothes. He stumbles, falls, then is up again in time for a huge blast of wind to blow him through the door of the laundry room, only to discover that all the machines are in use.

The students who live on North Road also have an interesting pro­blem when it comes to clean clothes. They have a choice of either using the lone washer and dryer in one of the houses, or they can take their lives in their hands by crossing Route 9 to get to Marian's laundry room. It would seem to be an easy choice, but you probably haven't seen the basement where North Road's washer and dryer are located. Complete with such homey touches as a creaking staircase, cobwebs and a lone 50 watt bulb, that room could unnerve Norman Bates.

Once you reach the laundry room in safety, which is easier said thari done, the worst is over. Now all you have to do is find a free washer, load your clothes and your quarters in, and wait. Of course you'll probably end up running back and forth between your room and the laundry room five or six times to check on your clothes, and there's no guarantee that the machine won't eat your money, but nothing is perfect. And there's naturally a good chance it will take you longer to find a free dryer than it has taken to build Lowell Thomas, but no one ever said life was easy. And so what if the dryer ingests three of your quarters and still won't work, or if your clothes are more damp coming out of the dryer than when they went into it. Remember, this is what college is all about.

Reel impressions 'The Jagged Edge'

by Maria Gordon

' "When a murder case is this shocking, which do you trust, your emotions or your evidence?" After both sides are presented, "Jagged Edge" says neither is trustworthy.

In this suspense film, a woman and her maid are brutally and graphically slain by a man with a jagged-edged knife. The husband, John Forrester, is arrested for this "crime of lust for power and greed for money."

His attorney, Teddy Barnes, comes out of retirement to work on this case. They have an affair while working on his. case. Barnes is always under attack by District At­torney Krasny, her ex-partner.

As brutally as Marquand films the slaying of Forrester's wife and maid, "Jagged Edge" bluntly ex­poses our unjudicious judicial system, the biased press and the battle of the sexes.

"Jagged Edge" makes no at­tempt to make women look good. Other than Barnes, the only women we see are those who were used and then abused by Forrester. Although Barnes has an affair with Forrester, we often wonder what her motive is. "You just want to get closer to get a better look." Forrester, Krasny and Slade are all aggressors and physically and verbally abuse women throughout the film. Only Barnes survives the " a b u s e " because she learned how to use be­ing a woman to her advantage, yet is masculine, inferred by her name, Teddy.

The main characters all have something on one another. For­

rester writes slanderous editorials about Krasny and his race for the Senate. Barnes knows about Krasny's illegal use of the legal system. Krasny uses Barnes' guilt over her last case to keep her from defending Forrester. The witnesses are only pawns to be used and abused by these three to get back at one another.

Forrester is the editor of a San Francisco paper. His wife would not divorce him because he had "a million dollar image." She used him to sell her newspapers. For­rester used smear tactics in his col­umn to hinder Krasny's campaign. The press was always around waiting "for a word so they can write their stories." Many times Forrester and Krasny refuse to make statements to the press, not "wanting to be part of the circus," and through that action, become the news.

Like the press, the courts are stages of manipulation. Barnes retired because she did not want to use or be used by anyone again.

"This is going to be a show trial." There are cases in which elections are won and careers are made. Forrester's is one. The other is a case in which an innocent man dies for the sake of Krasny's career.

Barnes constantly questions For­rester's innocence. She concludes that he is guilty, but to win her case a n d - b e a t Krasny, she finds witnesses that will fit the testimony. "How can you defend me if you think I'm guilty?" She replies, "That 's how the legal system works." It works on fact, not feeling.

It is all manipulation. Barnes plays on the jury's emotions. Krasny controls Barnes through guilt. Witnesses are found as need­ed. Forrester uses love to trap Barnes. The manipulation goes on and on. Forrester was just the best at it. " H e is an ice man." Teddy Barnes, portrayed brilliantly by Glenn Close, is a real person. She is not just a lawyer, but a single mother with personal problems. We can more readily sympathize with her because she is not one-dimensional. Close's actions and facial expressions tell us what the dialogue does not.

Jeff Bridges does an excellent job as John Forrester. His natural­ly cool demeanor mirrors the cold interior of a ruthless man. For­rester's personality warms you, as his web of deceit cuts you.

Although "Jagged Edge" is not an action-packed suspense film, it is full of twists. Just when you think you know who did it, Krasny or Barnes calls their next witness. It leaves a lot of unanswered ques­tions throughout, but like a good suspense film, all are answered in the end.

"Jagged Edge" is a "sit-on-the-end-of-your-seat" film. The characters are intriguing and the cast is strong. The action moves along at a steady pace and little is wasted. It is a good suspense film.

Do you trust your emotions or your evidence? Everything and everyone is open to manipulation. Facts, as well as feelings, are used and distorted for our own benefit. "The only thing we can do is hope we don't drown in the dirt and slime."

A View From Abroad

A trans-Atlantic tragedy by Christine A. Klein

Editor's note: Christine A. Klein, a junior majoring in com­munication arts, is studying at Trinity and All Saints College in in England as part of the Marist Abroad Program. She is among 23 students placed in various parts of Europe this semester. This column will chronicle her trans-atlantic experiences.

Upon arriving here in England I was told I'd be temporarily doubl­

ing up in a room because of over­crowding. But I figure, hey, I'm from Marist and I understand these things can happen. But come nightfall somthing seemed odd. There were no, lights in other dorms, no radios playing, no voices and no people.

"Overcrowding?" I asked. "The freshman don't arrive un­

til next week," they replied. It seems we're at summer camp dur­ing the off-season.

At times it can be difficult ad­justing to changes in culture and

customs. In fact, at times even man ' s basic necessities are threatened. So the time to help is now.

For a mere $18 per month, you can sponsor a Marist student overseas. Just think, your spare change can help save the life of any number of._ starving college students. There are hundreds of them in various parts of Europe. Your tax-deductable contribution will go towards providing such necessities as pizza, hot dogs, cheeseburgers, cold soda and beer.

In return you will receive a col­or, passport-sized photo of your student as well as monthly progress reports. These reports will keep you up to date on the advances your student is making. This opportuni­ty can give you the chance to learn about a foreign country through the eyes of a starving 20-year-old American.

Other relief efforts are current­ly underway. One working organization is USA for HELP (Unified Students of America for Hungry European Landed People). These students have come up with the unique idea of putting together a song and video, with possibly an album to follow. All proceeds will go toward college student relief. The single will be titled "Everyone Needs a Big Mac and Coke."

A representative from USA for HELP said, "These students need help desperately. Their food makes American college cafeterias look like culinary retaurants. The poor kids don't even have ice cubes."

Unfortunately, USA for HELP is not enough. Their funds will not be available for some time yet. Sponsoring a student will bring quicker relief.

Please do your part to end this horrible trans-Atlantic tragedy.

Halloween '85: Originality is in by Fred Dever

Today is the day when make believe personalities come alive:

The art of dressing up relies on the imagination. And in recent years, the art of costume creating has become an annual Halloween craze.

Various stores in the Poughkeep-sie area accommodate this new breed of creative costume shopper.

The Salvation Army Thrift Store on Main Street in Poughkeepsie, may not sound like a costume store but according to volunteer Alice Kaba, all the necessary ingredients are there. "We carry a lot of unusual and odd clothing that can make great Halloween costumes," Kaba said.

Although the thrift store sells the traditional types of childrens costumes, Kaba says these are not best sellers; "Because parents are becoming more safety conscious, they are not buying their children face masks," she said.

Kaba said she feels purchasing a packaged costume is a waste of money because no originality or imagination is involved. "You can dress your kid in a popular store-bought costume character such as Strawberry Shortcake, and I'll bet you see 20 kids with the same costume," she said.

Even department stores such as Jamesway in Hyde Park are begin­ning to cater to the creative costume buyer.

Don Dermody, assistant manager at Jamesway in Hyde Park, said people are getting away from buying the full costume. Rather, they're buying more make up and costume accessories. "Full costume sales have been declining for the past three years," Dermody said.

Another costume store on Main Street is the M and M.army-navy store where a true to life costume can be created.

M and M carries a full line of police and military clothing. "You can get a full police outfit and make yourself up to be G. I. Joe," said salesperson Liz Rogers.

Madame Bovary, a vintage clothing store on Garden Street has also capitalized on the creative costume trend.

Karen Fishgold, manager and owner of Madam Bovary, said she orders vintage clothing that would make good costumes.

She said her store is different from others because she can offer authentic period clothing. Madam Bovary also has a professional tailor who can turn garments into costumes. "I bought a heavy black robe that we turned into a wizard's cape by adding moon and star shapes," Fishgold said.

Madame Bovary also has Hallo­ween accessories. " I buy my masks, canes and hats from a secret source in New York City, no body in the area has masks like these," Fishgold said.

Kaba and Fishgold agreed that the oldies look along with the clown and bag lady are popular. They said most men want to dress as women and most women want to dress as men.

The range of prices for a com­plete costume vary from store to store. Some prices may be higher if the creative imagination is more elaborate.

The cheapest costume was found at Jamesway where a commercial costume costs between $2.44 to S5.99.

At the Salvation Army Thrift Store, the average cost of a costume is Si5 to S20 depending on what is needed.

The most expensive costumes were found at Madame Bovary and M and M Army-Navy Store. At Madame Bovary, the average cost to rent a vintage clothing combina­tion is S20 to S25 for one day. The cost to own a created costume can be as much as three times the ren­tal price, Fishgold said.

Because the garments are used everyday by persons in goyemment

jobs, many of the full costumes • that can be created at the army-navy store are higher in price. A full police outfit might run about $100.

Almost all of the store person­nel interviewed said Halloween costurne sales are at their peak this week.

Rogers said, the army-navy store does not see any drastic increase in sales because of costume buying.

Kaba and Fishgold said they will

, get a' lot of last minute costume searchers but so far it seems to be a slow month for sales. "People seem to be under a lot of pressure

and they don't have the time or money to spend on a Halloween costume," Fishgold said.

Regardless of who comes into the store, a perfect costume can be found. Kaba said, "Halloween lets people release a lot of tension.

Saturday night at the Halloween Masquerade Ball in the cafeteria. Freaky figures were seen dancing to the music of the Touch, a Long Island band. Costumes ranged from the grotesque to the humorous. But even those without a bizarre outfit enjoyed the evening trying to guess who was behind all those masks. Prizes were given for the best costume. First prize, $50 went to Janine Smith for her costume as a light-up Christmas tree. Elaine Losee won second prize, $25, as Dr. Seuss' "cat in the hat." Susan Lc .Vlanc, a guest visiting Marisl for the weekend, won third prize, $10, dressed as the Statue of Liberty. The event was sponsored by the Student League and College Union Board.

Speaker: Apartheid hits closer

by Brian O'Keefe

The demonstrations at colleges and universities across the nation during the past year have played a major role in divestiture of economic interests in South Africa, according to Dr. Henry Jackson, an expert on U.S. policy towards South Africa.

Jackson recently spoke at Marist about U.S. policy toward South Africa The event, held October 9 in the campus theatre, was spon­sored by the College Union Board. Jackson outlined the policy of apartheid and the conflagration of violence in South Africa.

Jackson discussed the economic composition of the predominantly black South African population. "87 percent of the land is owned by the minority of whites," he said. The land owned by blacks, he add­ed, is a mere 13 percent and of undesirable terrain.

"Apartheid hurts all the popula­tion more than divestment ever could," Jackson said in an inter­view with the Circle. "Disinvest­ment is not what has partitioned that society into warring camps." He predicted that apartheid will be dismantled in a few years.

Jackson, who received a master's degree in International Affairs and a Ph.D. from Columbia Universi­ty, is Chairman of the Department . of Black and Puerto Rican Studies at Hunter College in New York Ci­ty. He has had "articles printed on the Op-ed page in the New York Times and many journals of political science;. 3 acksoh has also appeared on •'television"news'pro­grams, including PBS' Frontline.

Jackson commented on how the the Reverend Jesse Jackson, the former Democratic presidential candidate, stooped to "low politics" when he debated the disinvestment issue with the Rev. Jerry Falwell, leader of the Moral Majority.

"He associated himself with Falwell in name calling appeals to the basest instincts of American political thinking," said Jackson. "They both ended up in the gutter."

The debate took place on the ABC television program "Nightline" in September.

College communities helped raise the consciousness of the na­tion, said Jackson. He said he ex­pects the college demonstrations to continue. / • ' . " . '

Immediately following the lec­ture, a student in the audience an­nounced a Vassar College demonstration and one that was to take place at the Main Mall in Poughkeepsie on Friday, October 11. That event was held in conjunc­tion with the Committee Against Profits for Oppression of Dutchess County.

In the interview, Jackson said that the Weicker-Kennedy Bill that was pre-empted by President Reagan's executive order imposing limited economic sanctions was just the beginning of new legislation.

"It's simply the first step of a long term plan," said Jackson. He said the ultimate goal of newer legislation will be to end all trade with the Republic of South Africa.

10 state governments have divested stock in companies in South Africa. 29 U.S. cities have done this, including New York Ci­ty and Poughkeepsie, and colleges and universities across the country have made motions to divest stock in companies doing business in South Africa in recent months.

Additional security guards were also called in by Marist Security from Pinkerton Security Systems Inc. and Command Security. Guards were on campus both Sun­day and Monday.

Leo, Sheahan, Champagnat and Marian halls were guarded and locked to prevent seniors from entering the dorms during the Monday morning wake-up call at 5 a.m., Waters said.

"They made no attempt to storm the dorms," he said. "We had guards on duty from 2 a.m. on."

Gerard Cox, vice president for student affairs, was also present at River Day's new location. He was to have met with senior class of­ficers at 5:30 p.m. Monday to discuss the seniors' responsibilities at the gathering, he said, but only Michael Mueller, the class presi­dent, showed up.

"There was absolutely no com­munication with the organizers of this River Day and the staff of the college," Cox said.

Several seniors criticized the ad­ministration for moving the event off campus, saying the change en­dangered students travelling bet­ween campus and the VFW hall.

Football team

logs 5th shutout;

plays Pace Sat. by Dan Pietrafesa

After Siena became the fifth' shutout victim of the Marist defense, the football team will seek to turn the tides against Pace University in the final home game of the season on Saturday.

Marist will be entering the game with a 5-2 record coming off the 23-0 romp of Siena. The victory secured Marist its first winning season as a Division Three football team.

Pace will come to Poughkeepsie with a 2-5 record and is coming off a 15-6 victory over arch rival Iona. The Setter season also included a tough 30-27 defeat at the hands of the top ten ranked Merchant Marine Academy.

Setter Head Coach George Maier.will bring a top-notched air game to Marist led by quarterback Kevin Enterlein, who has thrown for 688 yards and four touchdowns so^far this season; Rich Johnson and Rob Fenrenbach lead the receiving team-with 332 and .21.3 yards respectively. Senior Bruce Kenison leads the running attack with 427 yards on 142 carries.

The Marist offense may have some problems establishing a run­ning game with the Setters only allowing 723 yards rushing in their first seven games. The defense is led by Rich Middlebrook who has

72 tackles and 7.5 sacks to his credit.

In last week's 23-0 win against arch rival Siena, Ed Christensen led Marist with three touchdown runs.

Siena's loss dropped its playoff bound record to 6-2.

The Foxes went to work early in the contest by scoring on their first two possessions. Poor punts by Siena punter Mike Montaigne started the Marist drives in Siena territory.

Marist struck gold midway in the first quarter on a 19-yard power sweep to the right side by Christensen.. Late in the first quarter, Christensen scored on a 37-yard power sweep to the left side.

Christensen, who gained 172 yards on 24 carries a week earlier in a loss against Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute finished the Siena game with 110 yards on 18 carries.

Christensen capped off the scor­ing with a two-yard plunge in the

. fourthiquarter..,\? ; ,;. . ;S-. ,,

- The Marist defense was effective in stopping the powerful running attack of Siena. The defense was led by Larry Cavazza,who record­ed a safety in the third quarter, and Franklin Davisjwho had two in­terceptions. Davis also booted a 63-yard punt,breaking the previous school record of 62 yards.

Women's tennis takes tourney by Ken Foye

The Marist women's tennis team closed out its 1985 season on a win­ning note with a powerful perfor­mance at the Hudson Valley Women's Tennis Invitational Tournament on Oct. 19.

The Foxes won the team com­petition and were also able to take seven out of a possible nine first place trophies in individual play.

The rietters ended the season with a 6-5°record, droppingtheir two final tegular season matches to

SUNY Purchase and Quinnipiac prior to the tournament.

Winning first place trophies in Invitational singles play were Joelle Stephenson, Alison Block, Paula Stinson and Laura Murray. The doubles teams of Stephenson-Stinson, Block-Shelia Bradley, and Murray-Beth Ann Saunders also took first place trophies for Marist.

In team play, the Foxes, en route to winning the first-place team trophy, knocked off SUNY Pur­chase to avenge the earlier 4-5 loss.

The. Foxes number one player,

sophomore Stephenson, won a singles and a doubles match each against Purchase and Quinnipiac despite the losses. Block won twice against Purchase as well.taking her singles match and teaming up with Stephenson to win a doubles

.match. The squad won its last home

match of the season back on Oct. 8 by crushing Ramapo College 8-1. Murray, Saunders, Stinson, Block and Stephenson each won twice in that match, with Bradley dropping in singles but picking up a victory in doubles action.

Volleyball team finishes 3rd

Booters face Manhattan by Ellen Ballou

The Marist College soccer team will try to better its record when it travels Saturday to play Manhattan College in the last East Coast Athletic Conference game of the year.

In games played last week, the booters were shut out in both games. The team lost to Pace University by the score of 1-0, and the booters lost to Adelphi Univer­sity 3-0. Marist is now 8-9 overall, 4-3 in the Tri-State Conference, and 2-2 in the ECAC Metro Conference.

by. Kathy Pappas

The Marist women's volleyball team improved its record again last week, defeating both New Paltz, 15-9, 15-3, and.Skidmore, 15-9, 15-10. The Red Foxes now hold a 26-8 overall record.

The volleyball team also took third place in Division One at the University of Hartford Tourna­ment, winning three of four mat­ches as well the consolation final against Central Connecticut.

The Red Foxes beat Siena at the Hartford games, as well as St. Francis of New York. They lost to

Hartford and Brown. Marist was one of only two teams at the tour­nament not composed entirely of scholarship players.

Even though Marist was lacking the defensive force of junior Kathy Murphy, who sprained her ankle in a previous game, the team was able to put down both New Paltz and Skidmore in two matches. Jeanne Pernice filled in-for the injured Murphy. Senior captian Marie Ber-nhard spiked and served well in-both games and sophomore Marion McBride played well offen­sively in the Skidmore^match.

In the five years before Head Coach Vic VanCarpels took the

reins the Lady Foxes had a combin­ed 13 victories. When VanCarpels started in 1984, the squad went 24-4. Last year's record held the position of most victories in a season by any Marist athletic team. VanCarpels' two-year stint with the Foxes now stands at 50-12.

VanCarpels is optimistic about the future. "We seem to have a good nucleus for next year," he said. The team will be losing Ber-nhard, who has played outstanding games all season despite injuries to her elbows and wrists. Sophomore Patty Billen and Murphy will be the key forces on next year's team.

Thursday Morning Quarterback

Hoops, intramurals and 'Doc' by Brian O'Connor

Yes, it is true. For all you peo­ple who thought it was just a rumor, the Marist men's basketball team was the feature of NBC-TV (in New York City) last Thursday. Sportscaster Marv Albert introduc­ed a five minute segment showing the Red Foxes in practice and some comments by the players and Head Coach Matt Furjanic. The clip was aired on Channel 4 during the news at 6 p.m., 11 p.m. and 1:30 p.m.

But if you missed it don't get too upset; the way this team looks after just two weeks of practice, the Foxes will be sure to make the news again.

The team is coming off its first winning season since 1976. Fur­janic coached the Foxes to a 17-12

overall record and an 11-3 ECAC Metro Conference Championship season. Furjanic held the helm of rival Robert Morris from 1979 to 1984 and was twice Conference-coach-of-the-year. Entering his seventh season as an ECAC head coach, Furjanic has compiled a 90-83 record and has won the regular season crown the past four years.

He will be assisted by Jim Todd and Bogdan Jovcic for the second straight year.

As for the players, four let-termen were lost (Johnson, Eggink, Taylor and Padilla) and only two starters are returning (Smits and Davis). Also,three men have left the squad this season. Freshman Reg­gie McNeil, sophomore Ken Galloway and freshman Bob Fran­

cis exited for personal reasons. There are no seniors among the »

11 scholarship players, but youth and Euorpeans should carry the team far. This is not the basketball preview but merely a glimpse of what's to come. Be patient and hold onto your socks. They're on a roll.

I 'm stopping there with the hoop scoop just so I can tell you what else is happening down at the McCann Center.

For all you students who sit around complaining there's nothing to do, take a look at the new intramurals. It's been re-juvinated from that "off" semester during the last school year. Mike Malet and Bob Lynch, the in­tramural directors, have set up more than you'd think they could

properly handle. They, have a fantastic bowling

squad, volleyball teams that re­defined the word competition, football leagues with more teams than the USFL, (I think some have been in existence longer also), racquet- ball players with schedules three feet long, five-man and three-man basketball squads popping up all over, co-ed soccer and trophies and T-shirts from various local sponsors.

Lynch even spoke of relay tub­ing races in the pool, softball in the spring, water polo and even mak­ing some of the sports INTER-mural. That is playing against other colleges like Vassar, the Culinary, New Paltz and Ulster.

So if you're bored,get down to McCann and get involved. New

seasons are always starting. In­tramurals are on a roll.

Also at McCann, Howard "Doc" Goldman, the soccer head coach, won his 200th game in his 29th season when his team beat Army on Oct. 15 by the score of 2-1 in the second overtime period. - Congatulations to Doc and I wish him 200 more here at Marist. Only 199 more to go.

Goldman started at Marist in 1963 and has had only one losing season since 1974 (in '79 the team was 6-8-1). He won his 100th game in 1976 against Ramapo. That's an average of 11 wins a season. That's great considering Marist does not use full scholarships and plays many teams that do. Goldman's on a roll.

So, to all you people at McCann, keep rolling.
