Program mixup disillusions one senior

by Larry Striegel

For Fran Hurley, college has turned into a disillusionment - and a drain on the bankbook.

Because of what she says was a broken assurance by members of the Department of Religious and Sociology Study, Hurley will have to pay for about 20 more credits than she would nor­mally need to graduate and spend an. extra year in college to get them.~

She was one of a handful of students scheduled to graduate in 1979 who three years ago enrolled in a program to earn a Bachelors degree in Sociology "and Social-Work. •

However, with -the students' knowledge, the program did not then have the necessary state approval. It still doesn't, even though the students say theyVere led to believe it" would by graduation time. ., ". ,

%HurleyVis . officially", listed as -a . Psychology rMajor-by-the, colleger—but i could not graduate" witlvthe degree this year because she has taken so many sociology credit's and does not have the requirements needed ' -for the psychology degree.

Hurley, who is one of 16 children, says she has worked her way through school and.even taken loans to pay tuition. -

"The only thing that's going to hold me back is the financial situation," she says, adding that she now grabs, any part-time work she can get.

The situation confronting her and two other seniors came to light after she spoke to the Circle. Two other students' said they feared action against them if they were quoted by name. However, Hurley says she spoke up because she was disgusted.

"I regret what has happened," she says. "This degree means a great deal to me, and I want to be able to look back on what I went through and say it was all worthwhile."-; Meanwhile, faculty members associated with the program say they will know whether or not it will be approved sometime this spring.

"I want to hear a definite date and no more maybe's," Hurley, says.

Uncertain 'Sociology major' leaves 3 seniors stranded

1979-80 budget

seen

ByLinaCirlgliano

Three Marist seniors who expected to earn Bachelor of Sociology and Social Work degrees this May will need an extra year in college because the program has not gained state approval this year as the students claim they were led'to believe.

Further, the students, who admit they took a chance by, getting into a program three years ago even though It -had no certain accreditation, still have no„ concrete ~ assurance that- the .program" wilLever"gain "the .necessarjr approVair ^~ r-~* ' . ' " -

'-They (faculty""with the. program) 'talked so high about it and were so positive about it that they gave us a' real hope that the program "would be ap­proved by our graduation time," says Frances Hurley, one of the three.

"If I had known it wouldn't have come off I would have left it long ago."

However, Dr. Donald Calista of the Department of Religious and Sociology Studies, denies the students were overassured that the degrees would be accredited.

"We have nothing in writing," Hurley says of the alleged faculty statements. "It's like our word against his (Calista)."

Hurley, who says she only found out about the situation 'from a fellow student early in the fall, 1978, semester, says the seniors feel like they were used to get the "program started.

"We were the guinea pigs and now it-really doesn't matter," she says. " The two other seniors declined to talk about the situation with the Circle. They said they feared reprisal by the

-faculty.

"Grade-wise we could really get screwed if we talk," one said.

- However, a junior in the program, Jim Feeley, says he was told by an Admissions Department counselor during the summer that Marist would have the fully accredited program during the 1978 fall semester.

Feeley says - he was considering transferring to another school with a legitimate program-but decided to commit himself to Marist~after getting the assurance... _ . , - „"My whole future depends.on that

' program,", the-junior" says;_adding'that "he is upset but "will, stayat Marist and hope the program gains approval. "

Also, the students have charged that the program of studies, prescribed to earn the degree has differed- for each student and has not been uniform. They also said bickering among-faculty in the program, particularly Calista and Dr. Flo Michels, has ^added to the un­certainty of the situation.

According to Calista, the state Department of Education perused Marist's application in 1978 and asked . for more information, which he says has been provided.

He says he expects the program to be approved and expects to hear from the state later this semester.

'According to Hurley, even if the program gains approval this semester, she and the two other seniors will have to take the extra Marist credits because of another appendage to the situation. -She says the "Social Work" part of

the prospective degree was not part of the program until this school year. The students, she says, were' not told

- beforehand of the addition and now must fulfill the new requirements.

out of red

for next year . byDaveShaw'

Projections reveal for the first time in three years, Marist won't have a deficit in 1979-80 due to. a "well-planned budget" that has "hit the target" set last year, says a campus official. . - ''

The official,: Gerry Kelly, Assistant Dean of Students, cited two major reasons for the projected success in meeting the approximately $10 million budget: the college nearly met its goal of-875 full-time students on campus each semester; the tuition quota of 1600 full-time students for the fall semester and 1500 for the spring has been reached.

A budget item expected to exceed its allocation is the-, new' computer which Business Manager Anthony Campilii says will cost an estimated $100,000 more than its original $130,000 allocation: - -

However, Campilii says Marist hopes to offset this deficit with income other than rental fees for the computer's services. These sources include a donation from the Greenhaven Correctonal facility. .

Campilii said many factors, including the weather and-rising fuel costs, can affect budget spending. He said there have already been three increases in heating prices since last month.

Last year's $100,000 deficit caused staff cuts and service changes for _ the1 fall semester. Several administration positions were phased out as a result of the deficit, Service changes included hiring a new food service because Marist' Food Services caused losses due to.food service cost overruns. ••'""

Marist finished the fiscal year 1976-77 with a deficit of approximately $250,000 due" to overprojectionsih the budget. One of the overprojections was in enrollment. To accommodate that deficit department spending leyels were cut up to 85 percent.

Marist has been in the red three times in its 33 years;

Leo may be all freshmen by.Patti Morrison

Gerry Kelly, Assistant Dean of Students, plans to change Leo into an all freshman dorm next year unless Interhouse Council (IHC) can reach a satisfactory alternative says IHC President Chris Faille: -

Faille said some students are-upset with - the plan of changing Leo .into an all fresh­men dorm. At a Feb. 1 meeting of the IHC, Leo representative Karen Kirkwood said that the 6th floor Leo'girls are very close and do not want to move..According- to Faille, Kelly said 15-20 of the closest girls may live as a group elsewhere. ' . -. >

At a meeting of the Student Life Com­mittee to the Board of Trustees, Faille expressed opposition to the proposed freshmen dorms. "Ask upperclassmen if they were helped by upperclassmen when they were freshmen and the answer will be

yes. I think the proposed plan would be counter-productive," said Faille.

A review of the success of the new storage policy was also discussed at the firstmeeting by Kelly,'Residence Director Fred Gainer,"and members of the Council. •According to Faille, Kelly" said he saw minimal problems with storage over Christmas. However, Gainer said it" was unsatisfactory because many students left food in their drawers. ;

Faille also said some of the .Champagnat representatives want more specific dorm norms, saying the present ones' are too vague. This,item will,';be 'discussed'-at future meetings. "

Because two members of the Council have moved off' campus and a third is working on a full time internship.-three replacements will be named by February 15, theTnext'IHC meeting, said Fafller -

No food service

director chosen

Marriot Food Services has yet to hire a permanent food director, according to Tom Tanglos, district manager. Tanglos is acting as temporary director for former director Barry Cheatham, who was transferred by Marriot to Wheeling, West Virginia.

"We have several individuals on the east coast in mind for the job," said Tanglos. For now, added Tanglos, he is acting as -temporary director until a replacement can be found for Cheatham. He is con­sidering a Washington, D.C.-based em­ployee, as a possible substitute, but says ".she is married and her husband works in Washington, which means she would only be hired on a temporary basis.

Qualifications for a replacement include a "good track record and experience of operating a cafeteria" and will probably be someone within the Marriot chain rather than a restaurant manager because "we do 3 or 4 times the volume.. a restaurant does using mostly student employees," said Tanglos.

Presidential job description complete by David Potter

Marist's presidential job description has been drawn up by the board of trustees and members of the selection committee have been named, according to trustee Gary L. Smith.

Smith says, however, that no priorities have been assigned to specific presidential duties and criteria that will be used in selecting the new executive has not been established.

Smith says faculty, administrators and alumni aided in compiling the description which will be available to the college community. :

The committee will establish the per­sonal and professional criteria for can­didates, according to Smith. He adds no selection deadline Has been set, and says the trustees "will take as much time as we possibly can" to select the new president because the trustees are "not in a pressure

situation." . Linus Foy, Marist's current president,

plans to leave office within three years. Smith said basic presidential duties

would include: recommending policies to the trustees; setting goals for Marist and organizing college resources to meet those goals; short and long range financial and academic planning; projecting an image of the college off-campus to attract future students, and represent Marist to academic organizations, financial leaders and businessmen in the outside com­munity. Also, the president must establish positive relationships between the college and the outside community, communicate the goals of the institution on and off campus and reflect Marist's goals in his management style. Smith also said the president would report and be accountable to the trustees and should inspire faculty and student participation on campus.

The selection committee is considering

some members of the outside community for the presidency, said Smith, but he would not release any names. Smith also says members of the Marist community might be candidates,'but added no one had officially applied for the job.

The majority of the faculty, says Smith; and the administration have recom­mended Foy's successor be chosen from the outside community.

Smith also says the trustees passed a resolution to advertise for the job of president in "various chronicles."

Members of the selection committee include H. Clifton Wilson, chairman of the board of trustees, trustee members Jesse Bontecou, Richard Cole, John Gartland, Jr., Dr; Henrietta Smith and Gary Smith. Aiso, on the committee are Thomas Casey, Chairman of the faculty, John Ritschdorf,

RA's: Mixed reactions on

Dorm room inspections By Christopher Hogan

Dormitory norms will be enforced ac­cording to resident advisor's in­terpretations, arid discretion, say seven RA's and one residence "coordinator. Six housing staff members questioned asked not to be identified.

"I use my own discretion and in­terpretation," said Leo third floor resident advisor Pete McFadden.- "For instance, rule two states that intoxication will not be permitted. I'll enforce the norm depending on what the students do when they're in­toxicated."

Another resident advisor said, ."It's impossiblel,to:.enforce the,. intoxication norm. How can you tell; an eighteen or twenty year old he can't drink? The other norms are enforceable and I do the best I can." ;.

All seven housing" staff members said that norms concerning noise, throwing objects out windows, and prosecution of individuals-involved in criminal activity will be enforced. But there was mixed reaction concerning the right of a housing staff member to conduct additional, "walk-in" inspections.

"I wouldn't go in someone's room without them around," said another resident advisor. "But if I happened to see something in a room I'd say to get rid of it. I'm not a. cop."

"Enforcing inspections depends on what. the student supposedly would have in the room," said a resident advisor. "If there was contraband that could inconvenience

others in the building I would search." . Another resident advisor said that the

Resident Director is supposed to conduct "walk-ins" and not the resident advisor.

. The new freshmen,monitoring system also received mixed reaction from housing staff members. „

"I think it's insulting to the student," said a resident advisor. "If by college they can't watch themselves, they shouldn't be there."

"I'm not sure monitoring is the answer," said another resident advisor. "The job of an RA is more of an advisor. I think acting like a policeman puts my job in jeopardy with the students."

Another resident advisor, "I think it's a good" idea. I wouldn't want- someone watching me, but something has to be d o n e : " " • •"

All staff members added that they would enforce the freshmen monitoring system and complete a record five times weekly concerning students who are on academic probation. These reports would then be given to Associate Dean of Student Affairs Gerard Cox for review on Feb. 9.

Finally, mixed reactions were voiced by staff members about the norms.

"In general, it was good that they were emphasized in lieu of the fact that the freshman class did not do too well and that there's been a lot of damage," said a resident coordinator.

- "They're a good step but it might be a leap," said Pete McFadden. "I think they've stepped too far." "

chairman of the academic affairs com­mittee, Gerard Cox, associate dean of academic affairs, Thomas McKieman, president of the alumni association and Jeff Blanchard, representing the Council of Student leaders.

According to Smith, the trustees wanted to have a majority on the committee because they will ultimately select the new president. Other members on the com­mittee, said Smith, were selected by their representative groups.

Cox was chosen by the trustees from a list of five people picked by the ad­ministration. The alumni selected McKiernan. The faculty selected three members and the trustees picked Casey and Ritschdorf. The Council of Student Leaders chose Blanchard.

Marist students arrested by Joan Seergy

Two 7th floor Champagnat residents were arrested in separate incidents during the past week, one was charged with ar­son; the other with burglary, police say.

John Bentley, 18, was arrested along with a Great Neck man Sunday morning in connection with a house burglary in Esopus earlier that day, police said.

According to police, Bentley and his companion, Thomas Kolonick, were ap­prehended on Route 9 by town of Poughkeepsie police officers and later

turned over to state troopers in Highland. . The pair was arraigned on charges of second degree burglary and bail was set at $75 each. They are scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 13.

The other Marist student, Gerard Matrott, was arrested Friday for allegedly setting two shower curtains on fire in the 5th and 7th floor men's bathrooms in Champagnat, according to police.

Matrott was arraigned on two arson charges and bail was set at $1,000. Police said he is scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 7.

Alcohol policy up for review

by Jim Townsend and Jane Neighbors

Dean Perez will review a new alcohol policy submitted to him by the Social-Alcohol Committee combining existing alcohol policies on campus, according to Linda Dickerson, coordinator of public information.

This policy combines the different policies of the dining services, those in the dormitories and written in the student handbook says Dickerson. k

After Perez' review, the committee will submit their final recommendations on the changes they see fit, says Dickerson.

Until the policy is complete campus organizations which serve alcoholic beverages at a party must get a permit from the New York State Alcoholic Beverages Control, says Kathy Gentile, coordinator „of the Social Alcohol Com­mittee.

Marist was violating their license by not requiring the permits for parties held anywhere besides the new dining room, candlelight room and the Rathskellar.

Beer and wine permits cost $24 for each event and can be obtained at the Poughkeepsie ABC office. Other liquor requires a one-day catering permit which must be requested in writing to the Albany. ABC office and costs $35 plus a $5 filing fee.The recommendations come from the

three sub-committees that have been formed from the Social-Alcohol Com­mittee. These groups studied policies from other colleges, the price list being used by Marriot against the norms of New York state and the three other ' policies, Dickerson says.

According to Dickerson, other colleges have the' same problems defining their alcohol policies and asked for the findings that come out of the ' Marist recom­mendations. These colleges include Mercy, Loyola, Iona, Siena, Stonehill, Assumption, and Old Dominion. According to Dickerson, these schools have the same type rules regarding alcohol except that many of them require that soft drinks be served at events as well as alcohol.

The committee that dealt with the price list Marriot was using found out that they were close with competing New York state guidelines and in many cases within two or three cents of the state prices, according to Dickerson.

Dickerson says that after the final recommendations and policy reorganization is finalized the policy will be submitted to the school attorney to check legal aspects. The final policy will then be put into the student handbook, although, according to Dickerson, they do not know when the policy will go into ef­fect.

Senior's niCjhtmare A nightmare for any college student is fin­

ding out after four years of passing courses and paying close to.$20.000 that your school doesn't have a diploma in vour area of study— EKK!

This has happened to three Marist seniors, who were led to" believe a.bachelor of science degree in sociology and social work would be approved by the time they were supposed t o . graduate.' • •,

Because of lack of communication between faculty in that department' and between students and facility these, students must add up to another year of school to their lives.

Sociology instructors told our reporter that these students were "not promised" the program would be approved by the slate. However, we cannot imagine a responsible administration or faculty member allowing these students to continue, their studies if a diploma was not in sight.

We wonder how many other students in this area of study have also been misled?.*

As a form of retribution for those three seniors, :>ve suggest Marist offer financial ;

assistance for them to continue their studies. We also urge an investigation into this

disgraceful and inexcusable situation.

stereotypes By Richard LaMorte

As thinking beings, all of us hold assumptions concerning the nature of people. We operate from a frame of reference that helps us structure bur world and add meaning to it, It is highly improbable that any of us can enter a situation or an encounter with people without forming im­pressions consistent with our.own experiences and values. The fact that a person is dressed in a suit or wears jeans is a man or woman, or is of a different race will likely affect our assumptions about him or he*. First impressions will be formed that fit our own interpretations and generalizations of human- behavior. It is necessary for us to use generalizations. Without them we would, become inefficient creatures. They are guidelines for.behaviors that are tentatively applied in a situation, but open to change and challenge.

It is precisely at this stage that generalizations remain generalizations or become stereotypes. Stereotypes may be defined as preconceptions we hold about all people who are members of a particular group whether it be defined along racial, sexual,' functional or religious .lines. Belief in a perceived characteristic of the group is applied to all members, without,regard for individual variations. The danger of stereotypes is that they are. impervious-to logic or; ex­

perience. All incoming information is distorted to fit preconceived notions. This generally makes people highly oppressive, negative and uncooperative.

The confusion that surrounds the- terms "generalizations" and "stereotypes"' both in conceptualization and manifestation of same is frightening especially in an environment such as ours. Generalizations from which the figure emerges. For example, belonging to a particular group may mean sharing common values and experiences, athletics, academics, ad­ministration etc. Individuals within the group, however, also differ. The background offers a contrast for us to see more clearly individual differences. It should not submerge but increase the visibility of the figure. This is the figure -background relationship that should aid us .to recognize the uniqueness of people more readily. To the extent' that we attempt to be more sen­sitive^ this, to that extend we accomplish more as a group7Utilizing the common points we bind ourselves together and seeing the differences as parts of a whole we broaden our effectiveness. All too often we simply^ stereotype and we not only stereotype "But often live but our lives ac­cording , to stereotype.

Frosh Stats

To the Editors: I want to make clearer to your

readers the statistics on low indices reported in the Feb.l > 1979 issue of The Circle.

To understand the questions raised concerning the overall atmosphere in the residence halls and its relation to the lower level of achievement recorded for first semester students, it is helpful to consider the contrasting levels of achievement for new,- full-time commuters with those of new, full-time resident students.

The_ ratio of; first semester commuters to first semester residents is roughly 2 to 3. These commuters had 9 percent of their. number below. 1.7, .with; only. 3 percent of their niimbervbelow 1.35; The first semester residents had 42 percent of their number below 1.7, with 27 percent of their number below ,1.35. These, significantly different levels of achievement have helped to bring into focus the questions which have been raised about the dormitories. -

As I had indicated to the reporter, I believe that it is important to tcv to .give as com­plete a picture as possible. If we are reporting the low levels of achievement, - we should give equal attention to the fact that 15 percent of the new -commuters and 16 percent of the new residents earned a place on the Dean's List of Honor Students for their achievements in their first semester.

I also believe that the editorial

Disappointed To the Editors:

"Allright, already!...enough is enough." This statement is taken from your recent editorial to which I would like to respond. I have become discouraged, frustrated and disappointed by your irresponsible attitude toward the social and academic problems > that exist on our campus.

You admit that the freshman grades- are .a disgrace and that, vandalism due to alcohol and drug use is increasing. However, you continue to thwart all efforts to deal with or improve the anti-intellectual environment which is beginning to emerge at Marist.

The pretense for this position is

statement (1 February 1979) "some 135 students moved off campus" is misleading. Data at hand leads me to conclude that "135" refers to the number of resident students who either withdrew . from the college or moved off campus after the fall-semester. -.'"-•''•";

; Approximately 80 percent of the withdrawals from the college after; fall 1978- were; indeed, resident students. These students "have been heard"-in exit in­terviews, in correspondence by letter, or by telephone. As varied as their reasons are for leaving Marist, their reasons do not in­clude "infringement on their

-social activities." Nor has the Housing Office reported that the other population (those who remained at Marist but moved off campus) has left the residence halls for the reason suggested in the editorial.

What' our current resident students' reaction will be to present or future efforts to maintain an atmosphere con­ducive to academic achievement is unknown, as our editorial suggests. But we do know that the cooperation of every student is important. No matter how anyone looks at conditions (past, present or future) the students; individually and collectively, have the greatest input' into deciding "what is."

_^ Sincerely yours, Gerard A. Cox

Associate Dean for Student Academic Affairs

lack of student input..Input can come in many forms. The student newspaper could and should be a constructive force. It could and should identify important problems and actively work toward their solution.

The Circle, however, seems content to wave the banner of students' rights while the dor­mitories come crashing down about its; ears. Furthermore,

jthere would- be -no:'need for restrictive legislation if the students demonstrated their ability to govern their own lives and correct their own problems.

Annie and Eddie Hunter

Student changes seen by newly weds

__ ByJohnMeCutcheon

When Eddie and Anna Hunter aren't watching- TV, visiting friends, or keeping their own home clean, they'll be found on Marist campus sporting a dust rag or a mop. '•

The Hunters -are hewlyweds who were married in October and work as custodians for the college.

Eddie, 43, who works in Sheahan Hall,' and Anna, 33, who works in the Campus Center, first met each other when Eddie came to Marist five years ago.

"We just started talking and then he asked me out," said a smiling Anna. She has worked at Marist for the past

-eight years. , _ • -The couple might never have met,

though, if it hadn't been for Eddie's father. While Eddie was driving a cab in Queens, his father, who worked in Donnelly Hall was having a heart problem at the time. He called Eddie and told him to put in an application for a job. He was.hired and moved to the Poughkeepsie area. "I make more money now and the hours are better," said Eddie.

Anna has seen many students come

and go during her eight years at Marist and feels that the. students are "not as polite as when I first came." She adds, "They were much-more mature eight years ago than today."

Her husband says he finds no change in the students from when he first came to Marist.

Anna? who went to school in Virginia up to the 12th grade, also says students.. today waste their education. "They have to pick-up and stop partying. With the money they're paying I'd never stop learning," she says. - Eddie and Anna are well known to many students at-Marist and are in­terested in what happens in the college community. ; ' T ^

Stanley Kieltyka, -Resident Advisor on the 1st floor. Leo says "Anna is an exceptional and unique personality who;

always has something.either nice or funny to say." .

The Hunters live in Poughkeepsie with Anna's 13-year-old daughter from a previous marriage. '

Eddie drives with Anna to work every morning and says he likes "working with my wife everyday." He adds with a grin, "We always get along together."

Departments may combine by. Dianna Jones

Combining departments into larger divisions as a means of securing more full­

-time teachers and instituting new programs faster is being discussed by the Faculty Policy Committee, according to Dr. John Kelly, chairman of the business department. '•-

"We are just studying the possibility of divisions rather than departments. Rather than having ten departments, for example, there would only be three or four divisions," said Kelly.,

Kelly said the departments of ac­counting, business*, and economics have already been scheduled to be combined into the Division of Management Studies as of July 1.

Rather than the present; system of having a chairman for each department

who acts as part-time teacher and part-time administration, there will be only one chairman for each division who will act as full-time administrator, said Kelly.

This in turn will free the other acting chairmen to become full time teachers, Kelly said.

Kelly also said the discussed revision would aid in starting such bachelor's degree programs in Sociology and the Fine Arts and a masters in Public Ad­ministration by cutting through ad­ministrative red tape.

The major-problem will be deciding which departments will go into what divisions if the discussed revision is adopted, said Kelly.

"The: faculty itself has become very lethargic, very slow moving. We are trying to streamline it so we can deal with issues faster and more efficiently," said Kelly.

All damages fixed By Chris Barnes;

Last semester's residence hall damages charged to students have been repaired, according to Director-of- Maintenance, Andrew Pavelko. Fred Janus, main­tenance supervisor; added that- 30 doors in Champagnat that had been damaged were replaced, or sanded and refinished, by

"maintenance. > Pavelko said continuous-vandalism

makes itnearly impossible to repair all the damages that occur. He cited 3rd floor Leo

' Hall as an example saying that the lounge required replacement of ceiling-tile-six

Jimes and repainting of the walls three times since the start of the fall semester. "This sort of thing is keeping us from doing our work," said Pavelko. •Requests for. room painting without Housing authorization will not be filled if the request comes about because students simply want a change of color, said Pavelko. He also said maintenance complaints should be reported to him immediately.

Old gym

to get

new face By LarkLandon

Marist mural on the wall; fifty bucks for the fairest of all - and you don't have to be an artist to win.

The Fine Arts department and the Student Government are sponsoring a mural competition and the winning entry will be painted by students on four south windows . of the - old gym, says Butch Joseph, contest student coordinator.

The best portrayal of the theme - Marist and the Hudson River - and not the most artistic, will decide the winner picked by Joseph and two other students, who have not yet been named.

The picture will then be adapted after the entry deadline of Feb. 26, and drawn to scale by faculty member, Ron Collier and John Werenko, fine arts chairman.

All students, regardless of artistic ability will then be able to help in the painting of the final mural, says Joseph.

The finished product will be some 60 feet long by nine feet high, allowing everyone to paint a stroke, he said.

Entrys, which must be in color, may be submitted by any group, club, class, or individual on campus, excluding Fine Arts teachers, says Joseph.

The purpose of the community effort is so a "student can say - Hay! that's me up there" Joseph says, and will help boost morale among everyone.

Specifications on the entry size, may be obtained in the Art department, office, Champagnat Hall.

Better justice for rich says

Supreme Court judge By Chris Egan

There are "two systems of justice currently existing in New York State - one for the rich and one for the poor" - ac­cording to State Supreme Court Justice John Carro, who spoke at a symposium Monday night at Marist.

Carro, of the First Judicial Department,; spoke with State Parole Board Com­missioner Dasil E. Velez on "the impact of me criminal justice system on the socio-economically disadvantaged." -

New York's criminal justice system "affects the poor and minorities" Carro said. He cited a 1972 study which stated 63 percent of the inmates at Riker's Island "were in jail because they were too poor to afford bail." -•-••; "•

Carro said public figures like former U.S. Attorney General John Mitchell and former Nixon aide.H.R.Haldeman "go to nice jails" and get better treatment, while the disadvantaged "go to Attica and places like that." •

Carro, who has sat on the state Supreme Court bench for almost ten years, said "the poor and minorities see crimes as the only way to get one's fair share in an un­fair world." " • / ' v

Velez, a 1971 Marist graduate, described

the role of the parole board as "functional and important," because, "it determines the number of years before a person is considered for release" from prison.

Velez added "the present state of affairs in_parole is quite good" and pointed out "92-93 percent of all people paroled from sentences for homicide and violent crimes never commit another crime."

A parole board is necessary, he said, because "there js no way one can define a particular crime. No two crimes are alike," and "each one lias to be evaluated "differently." .

Approximately 110 people came to the theatre for the event sponsored by the Community Action Student Organization (CASO) and Black. Student Union (BSU) with the cooperation of the Criminal-Jiivenile Justice Department and the College Union Board (CUB) Lecture Committee.

The sumposium was the first of a possible series of events co-sponsored by the CASO and BSU, according,to Victor Fragosa, CASO president. He .said a possible lecture and film presentations about the life of Malcolm X are being discussed, and tentative dates have, been set in February. This, however, is still in the planning stages.

Marathoners will eye

secretaries in relay By Christopher Hogan -

Your chance has arrived to see the secretaries in the campus business office "run for fun" in the Marist Running Club's first 24-hour relay marathon at the McCann Center.

The secretaries, who plan to run for four hours, will run alongside teams from. Vassar, Dutchess Community College,-and Marist.

Booters reach finals

By Michael Delia Donna

The Marist indoor soccer team will try to win the Poughkeepsie Blue and White Tournament on Sunday after shutting out two opponents Saturday at • Dutchess Community College. •

The Red Foxes struggled defensively with the Poughkeepsie BUje and White

._• until Tommy;Hamola scored at twelve minutes in the game to give Marist a 1-0 victory. ' -'•'".-

In the second game of the double elimination tournament, Marist defeated the Poughkeepsie Blue and White Oldtimers 4-0. Two quick scores in the first two minutes by Julio Rostran and Matt Lovecchib enabled Marist to take a quick lead. Other goals were scored by Joe Curthoys and Jimmy Downs.

Head coach Howard Goldman said the team had "good movement and displayed good passing and excellent teamwork."

The final game is scheduled for Sunday at one o'clock at Dutchess Community College.

Swimming... from page 8

Tom Dunais, Jim Cash, Pat Rush, and Steve Hopson who each captured a third place in their individual events.

Cronin suffered his first loss in 6 meets when he was beaten in the 1000 yd. freestyle by Conrad Weiden of Manhattan College. Weiden took first in 10:53.1 and Cronin followed second in 11:19.6.

Cronin remained undefeated in the 200 yd. butterfly, with a victory in 2:15.9 just two seconds off his personal record of 2:13.1. Cronin said "This was no indication of the kind of performance I am used to. I was swimming very tired." Coach Larry Van Wagner agrees with Cronin. Van Wagner saidj "He's very tired. I hope he's not getting sick."

Marist captured two more first place finishes in the meet. Both wins came in the diving events which were won by John Cutillo.Cutillo scored 132.30 points in the one meter event and 136.25 points in the three meter springboard competition. Cutillo was un-opposed in both events.

Other swimmers whov placed in in­dividual events were Steve Hopson, second in both the 200 Individual Medley and the breast stroke. Tom Dunais captured a second in the 500 freestyle and a third in the 200 free. Pat Rush took second place in the 50 freestyle. -

Coach.Van Wagner's biggest fear is that Cronin may, become sick by the Metropolitan Swim Conference Cham­pionships on F,eb. 22j 23; and 24th. Van Wagner said he expects Cronin to do well in the Championships. "He'll do very well, if he doesn't get sick. Van Wagner also said, "Only Steve Cronin has the right attitude for a college program." Van Wagner does not stress team winning or comparing individual times to other swimmers times.

"We do not dwell on team goals.'.', he said. "We try to associate the swimmer's, feelings with their own individual per­formance. We try. to get the swimmer to better his own time and to perform better as an individual."; r " - .

Marist' final home meet is Feb. 10 at 1 p.m. against US MMA on Saturday, Feb. ;10.at 1 p,jn.yn th? McCann center pool.^ '

President Joe Burleski, all revenue from sponsors for every mile that the runners add up will be donated to the new. club.

The club was founded in December by head cross country coach Rich Stevens to provide an alternative for those who do not participate in track and field. According to Burleski, the club is open to anyone who likes to run. Previous experience is not necessary. Currently, the club has approximately 15 to 20 runners, most of whom have some previous experience in running.

Among them is Kevin O'Brien, a senior Spanish major from Marist, who

. will miss the meet due to a broken bone in his left foot. O'Brien has finished the New York City Marathon in 2 hours and 52 minutes and hopes to continue with the club later.

"I enjoy it so much," he said. "In a^ way I'm.addicted. Everybody is run-' ning it together. I know I'll be back eventually." v

Burleski has similar feelings toward marathon running.

"I don't know what it is that makes me run," he said. "I guess it's something deep within me. It's fun to take your time and run. You feel great doing it." '

According to Burleski, goals of the club are to send members to the Boston Marathon and to eventually host a marathon race in the Poughkeepsie area.

This Week in Sports By John Mayer

Kris McDonald, a freshman point guard averaging over 18 points a game for the Women's basketball team, has been named athlete of the week for the week ending February 5th.

In her last two outings, McDonald has scored 18 points against Russell Sage, and chipped in 22 points when the women took on Stonybrook. In both contests she also pulled down seven rebounds.

"I've been playing okay," said McDonald, "I'm learning more and more each game, and then using it in the next game. The major thing I have learned at point guard is to adjust our offense depending on their defense."

McDonald, who is from Montrose, N. Y., was named to the All Westchester County team as a senior at Hendrick Hudson High School, and also played for the victorious American All Stars when they defeated the Czechoslovakian National team last December.

As a political science major Mc­Donald hopes to either go on to law school or into public administration.

When not on the basketball court, McDonald said that she plays tennis and hopes to take up skiing in the near future. • - - . ' • -

Now Petro has more than just! morale problems to cope with. Due to injuries, dissatisfaction with coaching methods, and academic problems the Red Fox; squad has dwindled from 14 to 9 active players.

"There's a lot of problems with the team right now," said forward John Lusa. "There's a lot of different personalities on the team and we haven't been able to really ut it together. I guess it's our fault too."

Foxes lose 8th straight

DeWinne and Hasler hurt By Christopher Hogan

Injuries to center Bill DeWinne and guard Todd Hasler were additional losses suffered by the Marist basketball team as it dropped its eighth-straight game.

The Monmouth Hawks defeated the Red Foxes Saturday by -72-70 and dumped the Marist season record to 5-11. "

A fractured thumb for DeWinne on Jan. 27 against Loyola and a fractured elbow for Hasler last Saturday against Monmouth leaves Marist only nine active players for the remaining nine games.

The Red Foxes felt the absence of six-foot-seven, 220- pound DeWinne Saturday at home when Monmouth grabbed 10 more rebounds than Marist. The Red Foxes took their first com­manding lead of the game with 4:23 remaining in the first half when John Lusa sunk two free throws to put Marist ahead 30-26.

The Marist lead was consistent as guard Ian Davidson and forward Joe Waters closed out the first half with two consecutive field goals to put Marist ahead 38-33.

John Boylan sparked the Red Foxes to a nine-point lead in the opening of the second half by scoring six consecutive points as Marist went ahead 46-37.

The lead bounced back and forth until an argument between Ian Davidson and Monmouth guard Mike King led to one Marist and two Monmouth technical fouls. Todd Hasler converted on one of the technical fouls, giving Marist a 55-43 lead. . But Monmouth fought back with'' uncontested rebounding performances by center Don Wiley. He collected ;27 points and 17 rebounds for Monmouth to

. bring the Hawks back with 7:04 remaining in the game. Both teams exchanged points and the lead until 3:26 when Monmouth scored four points to take a 68-65 lead. -

Marist came back to within two points in the last 38,seconds_of the game

- when Hasler "drove to-the hoop and scored two points and drew a foul. Hasler injured his wrist on the drive and was replaced by reserve guard Rick Barretta. Barretta was unable to -convert a free throw from the previous foul and the Hawks went into- a stall • offense. Monmouth forward Steve Homan converted on "two-free throws after a Marist foul to push the lead to 72-68. The Red Foxes came back with a~ George Martin score to cut the lead within two points.

After a Marist timeout>-Hasler ~ replaced Barretta and a full court press stifled the Monmouth offense. Marist

~ regained possession but missed a jump ' shot as the buzzer sounded.

Marist suffered two other losses in the past week. Last Thursday, the Red Foxes lost to Monmouth in their first meeting of the season by 98-81.. Todd Hasler compiled 16 field goals and four free throws for 36 points, but Monmouth center Don Wiley and forward' Mike King combined for 45 points and handed " Marist their seventh straight loss.

On Tuesday, Southhamton routed Marist 86-67. The Red Foxes were stopped offensively in the second half with 35 points compared to Southhamton's 47 points. High scorer for Marist was John Boylan with twelve points. Sophomore Dave Shaw crashed the boards-with 14 rebounds.

" Next week the Red Foxes-will travel to Sacred Heart on Friday and host Dowling College on Saturday night.

Patty Powers and Kris McDonald combined for 38 points to lead the Women's Basketball team to a con­vincing 86-49 victory over Russell Sage Monday night at the McCann Center. The victory raises the Red Foxrecbrd to 10-4.

"We played very well tonight," said Marist head coach Linda Rogers. "We are getting our shooting percentage back up, and the passing tonight was excellent. We must have scored about half our points on layups." \ ._;.-,

Anita Marano chipped in 14 points in the victory. The rebounding effortwas led by Maureen Morrow with 11, Pam Green and Powers added 10 each; Kathy Farley and Beth Kolb scored 17-and 14 -points respectively to lead Russell Sage in the losing effort, r

Saturday night,. Powers' scored-- 38 points, the most ever by a woman at the McCann Center, to lead the women to a 106-53 thrashing; over Stonybrook. '

"I was very-pleased jwitir our; per­formance," said-Rogers. "Patty (Powers) had a super,: game, and we

- had five of our six players in double figures; which indicates we had a.very balanced attack. I really "don't like to beat a team that bad, but with no bench I had to leave the starters in."; ">;

. The Red:Foxes jumped buttb a quick 8-0 leadm just oyer two minutes, and maintained a comfortable: edge therest of the way. Twenty first half points by Powers led Marist to a 51-25 lead at the half.'.:" •.;;-"-"

:-">.v.:j--,-;>..- •.^•...\AV.;-: In the second half Powers poured in

another 18 points and. McDonald added

16 to break the contest wide open. Other double figure scorers for Marist were Marano, Green and Helen Salmon with 14,11 and 10 points respectively. Green pulled down. 13 rebounds and Powers nine in the winning campaign.

Last Thursday, the women didn't fair as well when they were upset on the road by Dominican College 81-76-

"This is the firstgame in my seven years of coaching that I am blaming the loss on the officials," said Rogers, "We had 37 fouls called against us and only twenty were called against them. The favoritism was very obvious."

Rogers said that the official who was mainly to blame got such a bad rating by high school coaches that she has been banned from doing P.S.A..L. (Public School Athletic League) games in Rockland County where this contest Was played.
