1 VOLUME 42, NUMBER 8 Marst College, Poughkeepse, N.Y, Cuomcy vsts and jons economc thnk-tank by ANASTASlA B. CUSTER and MATT MARTN Edtoral Staff Maro Cuomo was all ears as he chared a round-table dscusson on economc reform n the HudsonValley at Marst College, Monday. Approxmately 100 area busness and poltcal leaders partcpated n the sesson trggered by the recent cutbacks at BM. "You've (the Hudson Valley) never had to be super energetc about fndng hew opportuntes. Ths s the frst tme you've been challenged ths way," sad Cuomo, who stressed that the area has been relant on BM for, "sold, predctable strength." n the closed-door meetng, topcs ranged from enterprse zones to stmulatng small busnesses amed at dversfyng the area's economy. "Number one we have to stay true to BM, and be supportve of t. Second, we have to prolferate every other small opportunty you have," sad Cuomo n a press conference followng the meetng. "That offers tremendous hope to the Hudson Valley." Local representatves were encouraged by the vst, and hope that state money wll follow. "He s commtted to provdng state resources to help expedte deas n the Hudson Valley to brng development," sad Shaleen Kopec, Vce- Presdent for Advancement at Marst, who attended the meetng as an observer. "The people of the Md-Hudson have the talent to solve these problems, and the state government s wllng to work vgorously for solutons." "You have some of the best educated people, some of the best nsttutons, some of the fnest lvng condtons n the state and n the country," sad Cuomo. "f you can't do t here, you can't do t'anywhere." "You can turn the current stran and tenson and concern nto a whole new postve era of development n the Valley," he. Cuomo plans to see development through, as he ntends to return next month for_a smlar meetng. "There s nothng more mportant than the chance to earn your own bread. Therefore, my commtment to the Hudson Valley tryng to restore a postve local envronment s a prmary commtment,'' sad Cuomo. Many Marst students queston the state's commtment to prvate educaton, as Bundy and Tuton Assstance Program: (TAP) ad have been drastcally cut n ths year's budget.../": -,- ^- ~«.-- "" XrthFprdssconference, one student-addressed the governorabout these.'."see CUOMO page 8 ^ BM cuts trgger Marst to expand educatonal servces by JOHN LLOYD Marst College not only offers the communty ts academc programs, but wth the current local economc stuaton, the college has started a general effort that wll also provde communty servce and counselng. As a result of the thousands of lay offs at BM's three local plants, the Marst Fshkll Extenson Center wll expand ts offerngs. The center wll be benefcal to those formerly of BM and other unemployed professonals n ths area, sad Marc vanderheyden, vce presdent of Academc Affars. - VanderHeyden sad the effort wll not only consst of academc programs to retran the professonals, but also wll nclude workshops n career counselng and specfc workshops for obtanng certfcates. "t s our thoughtful reacton to the current stuaton n the county and to a neghbor (BM)-who has always been generous to Marst," vanderheyden Although ths effort s drected toward former BMers, t's avalable to anyone because the effects of the cutbacks at BM trckle down through the whole economy. The college has developed these programs and servces wth exstng staff members who are ready to ntroduce what Marst has to offer. VanderHeyden sad Marst s the only nsttuton n ths regon that can provde professonal graduate and corporate educaton. "The college (Marst) should be recognzed as the most comprehensve nsttuton of hgher learnng n the Md-Hudson regon," he Local students also feel the brunt of the current economc stuaton and how t can affect ther future as students at Marst.. Mke Murray, a- junor from Hyde Park, N.Y., sad he s affected by the stuaton and s not sure f he wll be able to afford lvng. on campus next semester because of hs father's recent retrement from BM. Amy Vogt, a junor commuter from Hyde Park, works at a restaurant next to a recently closed BM satellte buldng. "t actually affects me because how busness has dropped a lot," she Upon Marst's recent announcement of ts openng of an extenson center n Goshen, N.Y..there was a "phenomenal response" to the "open house" held n Goshen where 175 people turned out for the event. The Center for Graduate and Professonal Educaton wll be open n September. Academc V P: no addtonal faculty next year by CAROLNE JONAH A three-year hrng freeze of new full-tme faculty contnues to stran some dvsons at Marst College. "We have a hrng freeze at the college and we're not hrng anyone new," sad Vncent Toscano, charman of the Dvson of Humantes. "We don't have enough fulltme faculty for a college of ths sze." The only new faculty beng hred ths year are to fll vacant postons n the upcomng school year, sad Marc vanderheyden, vce presdent of Academc Affars. "We are not hrng any addtonal faculty," vanderheyden "Only replacements of faculty." n the past, hrng new full-tme faculty has occurred wth sgnfcant ncreases n enrollment, vanderheyden "We don't have the funds to add new faculty lnes," vanderheyden "The ncreases n enrollment are not so dramatc." But ncreases have occurred wthn the Scence Dvson, accordng to Andrew Molloy, charman of the dvson. "n the scence department there s a growng need to add another full-tme faculty member to support the growng number of majors," Molloy " thnk t's the fastest growng major at the tme." Molloy sad wth only 13 full-tme faculty members, ncludng only one n physcal scence, the dvson has to rely more on adjunct faculty. "We're forced to turn more and more to the use of adjunct faculty, whch s dffcult n courses wth laboratores," he "We've tred to have only full-tme faculty nvolved n laboratory course;" There s the lack of tme they have to spend n the laboratores and wth students. Ths lack of tme has meant that full-tme faculty have less opportunty to teach core courses. "All of our programs need new faculty. Clearly the reason we don't hre new faculty s because of constrants on the budget. - Marc vanderheyden Vce Presdent of Academc Affars "Over the last three years fewer and fewer faculty were nvolved n teachng core courses," Molloy "As the number of students n the major go up, you may have to have the full-tme faculty teach more and more full-tme courses. tseverely lmts the number of full-tme faculty nvolved n teachng scence core courses." Molloy sad t has become harder to respond to the "mountng" number of students n the departments of envronmental scence and bology.. "There has been no new faculty, but mantenance of the same full-tme faculty," Molloy "There s a genune need for a new faculty member." VanderHeyden sad he recognzes the growng enrollment n the Scence Dvson. "All of our programs need new faculty," vanderheyden "Clearly the reason we don't hre new faculty s because of constrants on the budget.". n 1982, Marst had 79 full-tme faculty members. By 1992, that number had ncreased to 153, accordng to vanderheyden. strants on the budget." n 1982, Marst had 79 full-tme faculty members. By 1992, that number had ncreased to 153, accordng to vanderheyden. "Over the last fve years we have hred 23 addtonal faculty," VanderHeyden "We have not grown at the same rate (as that of past years.)" Onkar Sharma, charman of the Dvson of Computer Scence and Math, sad about four years ago the school came up wth a plan to hre fve new faculty members every year. Snce the three-year budget freeze, ths has not occurred. "We should have hred 15 new faculty members," Sharma "That we have not done.'' Sharma sad he dd not expect to gan any addtonal faculty wthn hs dvson due to stable enrollment. Toscano sad addtonal faculty s needed "We have a pretty heavy teachng load. t's a jugglng act." - Vncent Toscano, Dvson of Humantes Charman n the Dvson of Humantes. n the department of poltcal scence there are only four full-tme professors and 145 majors, he "We have a pretty heavy teachng load," Toscano "t's a jugglng act." Toscano sad one effect of the few fulltme faculty s the dependence on adjunct and part-tme faculty. "More and more (core courses) are beng taught by adjuncts and they don't have enough tme," Toscano "We'd really strengthen the dvson wth more faculty." Toscano sad ths ssue rases a "red flag" over the long-term qualty at Marst. "Compared to nsttutons of the same sze our faculty s low," Toscano "We need...see FACULTY page 4 *

2 ' Remember the televson show "thrtysomethng," where everyone had a problem and people rarely lved happly ever after? Well, ts drector, Marshall Herskovtz, makes hs frst flm work the same way. "Jack the Bear" s a hghly emotonal, flm about a father tryng to rase hs two young sons alone after the death of hs wfe. Danny DeVto ("Batman Returns," "Jewel of the Nle") plays John Leary, the host of a late-nght televson horror show. John moves wth hs two sons, Jack and Dylan, to Oakland, Ca., nto what seems lke a normal neghborhood. He s a favorte of the neghborhood kds who are fans of hs show and occasonally ask Jack f hs father can come out and play. John s the knd of person who wll always be a kd at heart. He s not wthout hs problems thought A martn wth every meal, dreams of hs wfe who ded a few years earler, and n-laws breathng down hs neck tellng hm to straghten out, add to what he has to deal wth concernng hs chldren. THE CRCLE, APRL 22* 199a pours On sap As the move progresses, John realzes that there s a tme when everyone has to grow The Reel Story Jennfer Gandalone up. Ths role was a nce change for DeVto who gves a warm, sncere performance as a father who wants what s best for hs chldren, who were robbed of ther mother at an early age. Robert Stenmller Jr., a 14-year-old, plays Jack. Jack, lke hs father, s troubled by dreamsof hs mother., He s also responsble for hs 3-year-old brother (Mko Hughes, ^'Kndergarten Cop"), whch forces hm to grow up too fast. ' Stenmller does a good job wth some of the'more movng scenes, but for the most part, hs performance s forced: Ths kd s an actor n every sense of the word and s not always belevable. Jula Lqus-Dreyfuss (Elane from the TV show "Senfeld") hasa small role as a frend of John's who works on hs televson show: Her part s pontless and thnk her talents are wasted on an nsgnfcant, unmportant character.- -. '-'Jack the Bear" tres to access every possble emoton from ts characters. When someone s sad, there s a great outpourng of tears. Happness usually means loud orchestra musc accompaned by tears of joy and laughter. Anger s shown n one of the more exctng scenes wth a baseball bat. - When t's all over,-you?re just an emotonal v mess and are not sure what you are'supposed to be feelng. The drector, wants.you to thnk that the famly wll be okay, whch s what thought, but others may thnk dfferently. The fnal 'scene; whch seems very upsettng, s also a bt uplftng. t'shows that, when a famly stcks together, anythng s possble. Lke the message of "Crss Cross," Golde Hawn's bomb from" last year, "Jack the Bear" demonstrates the mportance of famly and that monsters, do rot only exst n the magnaton of on TV. Unfortunately, ths s not enough to carry a flm for two hours and keen the nterest of the audence. So, f you want to see a move that wll cheer you up, don't see ths one. Asa matter of fact, you should wat for the vdeo..f you really want to see Danny DeVto, go to your' nearest- vdeo store because what "Jack the Bear" needs s a better scrpt to :ve t a lttle more substance. Band comradery and good cheer erupt on campus by DANA BUONCONT And the rockets' red glare, the bombs burstng n ar, gave proof through the nght...that after the dust had settled n the theater last Frday evenng, somethng loud and muscal had happened. The fve bands that partcpated n the Battle of the Bands contest proved to be as dverse as the talent they demonstrated, wth muscal styles rangng from jazz mprovsaton to classc rock. The event, whch drew a farly large number of enthusastc people, was hosted by comedan Kevn James, who provded betweenband laughter. The bands, n order of performance, ncluded: Woodpecker, Sally Mudball, Dry Wall, The Brownstone Tro, and Rff Raff. The Brownstone Tro took frst place n the competton, followed by Dry Wall and Sally Mudball n second and thrd places, respectvely. Przes were studo-recordng tme for frst olace. 50 percent off Yamaha muscal equpment for second, and a 50 gft certfcate at Strawberres for thrd. Woodpecker's set conssted of three covers and two orgnals. Openng wth "Porch," bv Pearl n your ear Musc revew Jam, they also played "Zggy Stardust," by Davd Bowe and "Sex Type Thng," by Stone Temple Plots. One of the orgnals featured a rff remnscent of the musc to the vdeo game "Castlevana." Sally Mudball's fery performance conssted of two upbeat " orgnals, ttled "Cauton" and "Advl," as well as covers of "State of Love and Trust," by Pearl Jam and "Mustang Sally," most recently done by The Commtments. n addton to the usual fve-pece band, Sally brought out two female back-up sngers and a sax player for "Mustang." They were also able to overcome some sound problems durng "State" to come off wth a bg fnsh. Dry Wall, who performed wthout a snger, turned n several tght nstrumental, ncludng: "Spy of Socety," "Open Me Up And...," and "Trust n Me." Though they ran over the allotted tme of 20 mnutes, on an extended mprovsatoral jam, they appeared wllng to play;all* nght, even when the stage curtan closed! or~them. " Snpes contnues to pck dud 'Bolng Pont' generates lttle by KRA1G DeMATTES Wesley, Wesley, Wesley! What s wrong? Are you ths desperate to get nto acton flms that you wll settle for any move wth a gun n t? "Bolng Pont" s a.mstake, not a career move. We love you n "Jungle Fever." We love you n "Whte Men Can't Jump." But these strng of low-rate acton flcks have got to go. They are kllng you! n case you are wonderng, that s my letter" to Wesley Snpes, whose new move, "Bolne Pont," pad for two of my frends to see wth me. Please, do not get me wrong, dd not go nto the move wth hgh expectatons, so t s not lke am dsapponted because wanted somethng bg. just wanted an entertanng- acton move wth some good stunts, bg explosons, a funny one-lner or two, and lots of cool- lookng guns wth laree calber bullets. You know, somethng to keep me occuped and not have to thnk about all the work have to do. But Fate would not let me rest. Nope, sat through ths one hour and a half enema, dumbfounded that ths move had to be passed by some executve board at Warner Brothers, currently the most powerful. group n ' Hollywood. Ths move dd not know whether to be an acton flck, a tragc story, a dark comedv, or whatever. The story s from the book "Money Men," and ths s how the story unfolds, lke a book. But moves are not books, as everyone s so quck to pont out, so there s a lot of thoughts and acton left out. frst thought that although the move was slow and choppy, that t was leadng up to some clever endng or surprse twst. Unfortunately, nothng dd. soon recalled my Ebert and the Oscar Brotman's Law- "f nothng has happened by the end of the frst reel, nothng s gong to happen." Before long, found ths to be too true. The move never unfolds- t just happens, as Wesley Snpes tracks down the kller of hs partner. Of course, you know ths euv s eong to de because he sad the fateful words, "Hey, tell your kd hs Godfather s gong to take hm out tomorrow." He mght as well sad ths was hs last day on the job before he retres, or some other corny phrase that puts the crosshars on hm. Anyway, Snpes runs around tryng to act tough, tryng to act, and smokng cgars lke Arnold Schwarzenegger, but t all fals horrbly. Even the catch phrase of the move, that one-lner lke "'ll be back" or "Welcome to the party, pal" does not even ft nto the already dull acton. Perhaps you have seen t on TV already when Snpes says, "When fnd that (guy), 'll put hm n a box... by the book." wsh could tell the wrter to get a grp... by the book: The only orgnal aspect to Snpes' character s that hes not a cop, not a FB nor CA agent, and was not even n. Vetnam, but a Treasury Agent. But they do not bother to explan that untl much later on nto the move, just lke everythng else. The only element planned on to at least provde me wth somethng to genunely laugh at was Denns Hopper, who ever snce "Blue Velvet" has been the only actor snce Crspn Glover ("Back to the Future", "Wld at Heart") to crack me up just by actng. mean t n the upmost respect, as any of you who have seen and love "Blue Velvet" know what mean. Hopper s crazy, but a genus n any role, from "Apocalypse Now" to hs drectng career. Sadly, however, even he could not tread the qucksand of the scrpt, but there were tmes where could see the humor tryng to get out and t was enough for me and my frends, fellow Hopper-lovers, to enjoy t. The Brownstone Tro offered up a healthy dose of mprovsatonal jazz to the audence. Ther performance was extremely flud and the nteracton between sax, bass, and drums was tght. Towards the end of ther set, ther jazz exploraton segued nto a crowd pleasng verson of "Dazed and Confused," by Led Zeppeln. Rff Raff, the fnal band of the nght, seemed ready to case the entre classc rock songbook f necessary, wth versons of "Snce Been Lovng You," by Led Zeppeln, as well as "Day Trpper" and "Lttle Wng," by Jm Hen-. drx. They also trotted out a cover. of "Man n The Box," by Alce n Chans^. The.mood.backstage, both before and after the performances, was ; decdedly postve, though rather compettve. '! Bands dd, however, gve one another encouragng words before gong on stage. Pror to the announcement of the awards, they wshed each other luck. But there are postve aspects to ths move, as ever cloud, even as dark as ths one, has a slver lnng. For the frst tme n a move, except "Malcolm X," a character, sad, "'ll park (the getaway car) on Hollywood Boulevard. The cops wll thnk an Afrcan- Amercan stole t and left t there." Well, OK, there s a lot to work on,. but t s a start. euess. A whte character talkng to another whte character sayng "Afrcan- Amercan" nstead of all the racal slurs that appear n these moves s dfferent, no matter how forced the character had to say t. Dd Snpes have a hand n ths? would not be surprsed. So here s another one for my lst of bad moves, but then agan have not had the chance to really pan one n a whle, you know wth the Oscars and all. But here s the surprse twst to my artcle- ths was the worst move ever had to revew, even "Sneakers" and "The Last of the Mohcans." "Bolng Pont" s an awful move of scams and con-artsts that has the amazng effect of connng the vewers. You thnk wth a ttle lke "Bolng Pont" that the acton would be good, but the only bolng pont you wll fnd s n the audence. Ths move should be sued for false advertsng, and the drector, James Harrs, boled n ol. At the begnnng of last semester, there ddn't seem to be too much nterest n campus bands, but over the past couple of weeks, there have been several coffeehouses Where a few of these bands, as well as other muscal acts, have been able to perform n front of anywhere from 50 to 100 people. Ths s a good thng, and should contnue, because there s an awful lot of muscal talent at Marst. One of the best aspects of the musc scene oh ths.campus s that the majorty of the muscans know each, other and whle they mght not all be the best of frends, t was evdent Frday nght that there's..' respect.among them...

Some optons that were looked nto nstead of the current, nonrecyclable plastcs Marst uses were nsttutonal plastc, paper and chna, but wth each posed problem, sad Dan Lews, drector of dnng servces who dd research and background work on recyclng. nsttutonal plastc, whchds a washable and reusable hard plastc, was "cost prohbtve" because t would take 8000 to purchase. Paper products become nons n sync on recyclng ssue 'recyclable" once "they are contamnated wth; food, and chna products.are:breakable and for ndoor use only, sad Lews. The fnal decson, made by SEGA and Seler's, was to use 100 percent recyclable plastcs from a local paper company. Ths decson wll cost Seler's double the orgnal budget allocaton. - Accordng to Lews, the bggest problem wth recyclng s Dutchess County because t only recycles numbers 1 and 2 plastcs. "'ve been gong to the cafetera. for three years now and when see Seler's'usng plastcs am dsapponted because know they are not beng recycled," sad Mke Gordon, a 20-year-old Englsh/secondary educaton major from Attleboro, Mass.

The 30-year-old Turek may lose hs busness when Route 9 s wdened, so hs plan s to move Sknner's farther back from the road. " just want to put up the same operaton, and t would bascally be the same sze." However, Turek must wat to hear from board members n the Town of Poughkeepse. " have to go through the zonng ordnance, but don't know f the members wll gve t to me," sad the Hyde Park natve. " sent the proposed plan to the zonng board last week, and t wll probably take a couple of months before know," Turek Turek has owned Sknner's for 13 years and s fndng the realty, of loosng a busness to be dffcult. " have served the publc for many years now. am hopng to get the OK\ can start rebuldng rght-away, but f not, 'm stuck," Turek --' "Especally the way the economy s. And lookng at the way thngs are wth BM. become nervous." He has receved money from the state, but even that was not enough. "Ownng a busness s dffcult. wll eventually have to take loans n order to save mv busness." Sknner's has been the norm for many people, and the thought of destructon s not taken lghtly. Bll Brown, a senor from Ptt- ' sfeld, Mass., does not want to see Sknner's flattened. "1 am hopng Sknner's can be moved ether farther back from the road, or to a new locaton," he "Not only because t s a landmark, but because Sknner's has always been a good tme." For Turek, however, Sknner's s not only hs busness-, but an mportant part of hs lfe. " have put everythng nto Sknners," Turek "The argument / have s that 'm a taxpayer, for the state and for the county. Plus feel 1 help the college. "'m rght across the street and my locaton s convenent." Now Turek can only do one thng, and that s to wat and hear from the zonng board. And f thngs do not go as planned, say students and locals alke, a busness, as well as a tradton, wll be lost. BM repercussons may affect sports program by KRSTNA WELLS The Marst College athletc program may be affected by the recent BM lay-offs.. Eugene Dors, drector of athletcs, sad the department's greatest concern s how to attract people to the entertanment offered by Marst sports so that tcket sales reman steady. ''The ablty of people to purchase tckets on a regular bass mght be hampered," Dors " thnk every famly that ends up n a stuaton such as BM wll have to assess ther money more. The competton for that amount of money wll be greater than before." Gerard Cox, dean of student affars, sad the athletc department wll have to create an atmosphere that wll make people n the area aware of the entertanment avalable to them at Marst. "An evenng at a basketball game s one of the best buys n town. People wll fnd out the entertanment potental n ther own back yards and hopefully take advantage/of t," Cox Cox added that the school expects, the season tcket sales to decrease, but these losses wll be balanced by an ncrease n ndvdual tcket sales. "n more dffcult economc tmes people are less nclned to put out all of the money requred for season tckets at one tme," Cox "They may be more wllng to put up the money for an ndvdual tcket to a game." The cost for two season tckets to basketball home games through the Red Fox Club s 200, and ths ncludes membershp n the club, choce seatng, nvtaton to specal events, and tckets to the tournament at Madson Square Garden. The prce for two regular season tckets vares, dependng upon how many home games the team has durng the season, but last year's cost was 73, whch ncluded tckets to all home games and to the tournament at the Garden. Dors sad the college wll have to package ts goods n such a way that attracts people to buy ndvdual tckets to the games to keep the money flow stable. "We are gong to have to be much more aggressve n terms of marketng ourselves as a product," he "The competton for revenue wll be much more severe than t has been n past years." The Red Fox Club has gven Marst 450,000 n sponsorshp money spread out over a perod of twelve years. Dors sad fnancal support gven to the school by the Red Fox Club wll not change provded the sx members on the board affected by the cutbacks reman n the area. "Out of 20 members, sx have been affected. f they stay ther nvolvement won't change, but f not we have to fnd a way to replace them," Dors Cox sad Marst s not concerned wth whether t wll be able to attract the same calber of studentathletes n terms of scholarshp money. "We are gvng out scholarshps n numbers whch equal what s requred by the NCAA and the NEC to mantan membershp," he "The number wll only decrease f the NCAA decreases the requred amount of scholarshps." Dors sad the cuts n budget wll not affect the area of scholarshps because, Marst s at the mnmum end of the scholarshp amount avalable. The normal operatonal budget of the athletc department ncludes fundng already allocated to scholarshps and to the fees requred to be a member n the NCAA. Dors sad there are enough revenues that come nto the school to offset the spendng for varous thngs such as recrutng and scholarshp. "Most of the revenues that do come back to the school are prmarly from the NCAA," Dors The NCAA's Academc Enhancement Program brought Marst 20,000 last year and may ncrease to 30,000 next year. Marst also receves a share n the addtonal money brought n on the Dvson champonshp. Also, a percentage of the scholarshp money s gven back to Marst. Dors sad he s unsure how the BM cutbacks wll affect Marst's ablty to recrut n future years. "The amount of money to recrut a prospect vares form sport to sport," he "t s not that expensve when you look at the amount of people we are (ultmately) gvng our attenton to." On the average, the total amount of money spent on recrutng n one year for 20 sports s approxmately 80,000, accordng to Dors. "n terms of the total 580,000 represented, you are lookng at about 1,000 per student-athlete after we have narrowed down the recrutng lst," he The total number of students n the outreach for football s 200 prospects to get an average of a 40 to 50 sze class. Basketball outreach s approxmately 25 prospects to get a class of four to fve potental athletes. The man concern of the athletc department, as well as the whole school, s how t can attract publcty and stll help the area out of the economc crss. Cox sad n terms of the Tracey Patterson boxng match, held at the McCann Center on March 13, the most mportant thng was publcty. "We were on a natonal broadcast from coast-to-coast.

VanderHeyden sad he s concerned wth the students beng well served and keepng the 21:1 student to teacher rato..;;.' "The faculty has to spend more tme wth the students," he "The faculty should probably be less nvolved wth sone other (projects)." Another "red-flag" rased by Toscano was the nadequate resources gven to academcs. "We've always been a shoestrng operaton," Toscano "We don't have a bg endowment. Our money comes from student tuton. We're very conscous and we're not an elaborate place." VanderHeyden sad a balance between tuton and prortes has to be met, especally wth exstng budget constrants..*'_ "There are -choces," VanderHeyden "Over the last fve years the college has bult Lowell Thomas and Dyson for academc purposes. (We) refurbshed Donnelly and now new dorms." VanderHeyden sad the emphass has been on academcs before other prortes. "We bult academc buldngs The Powerhouse Theater at Vassar and New York Stage and Flm Company 1_ before dorms," he " can't be unhappy about that." Tuton s the largest part of Marst's ncome and s a determnant n the decson makng, vanderheyden. "You can't exaggerate tuton or you lose students," vanderheyden " T h e problem wth hrng faculty at Marst College, or at any college, s havng the funds to do so." To hre new full-tme faculty, other prortes would have to-be pushed back or students would have to pay more tuton, vanderheyden "You could double tuton, but don't thnk we want to do that," he "We want to make sure our college has the rght tuton for students and parents to brng them to Marst College." Toscano sad, the ssue s the dstrbuton of exstng funds. '' t goes to the heart of a large queston - allocaton of resources," Toscano "Where are the resources gong? Should they be spent elsewhere?

"The waste, the human treasure that we gave up for a goal whch no one understood and whch no one understands to ths day," sad Marc Adn, 45, an assstant vcepresdent at Marst who also teaches a class on the Vetnam experence. Hs sentment s shared by many of hs fellow vets on campus. "What a waste. What a complete waste," sad Greg Hamlton, 43, an assocate professor of, economcs. "58,000 Amercans ded for what?" t s a queston that vets grapple wth everyday. "Most vets don't have a day pass wthout thnkng about ther experence n Vetnam," sad Dan Okada, 44, a professor of crmnal justce, who teaches the Vetnam class wth Adn. "Vetnam was the sngular defnng moment n my lfe, because t permeates everythng do," sad Okada. He was 21 n Vetnam. The vsons that these vets recount are as vvd as they were 20 years ago, and stll ther questons le unanswered. "Not all the moves combned can gve you an accurate account of what Vetnam was lke, a mllon thngs gong on at once, tracer bullets comng at you n the nght, but none betray the butchery that occurred," sad Adn. "We often ddn't know what we were dong, where we were gong, or what we would fnd when we get there," sad Okada, a member of the Army's Frst cavalry dvson. roncally, the squad leader of Custer's fabled unt. "Vetnam was lke a fatal auto accdent everyday," Adn "You know t's comng, you just don't know n what way." "People, men, frends, were turned nto peces no bgger than a quart." sad Adn, who served n LASERPHOTO) The contnung conflct the Army's forth nfantry dvson n the hotly contested central hghlands of Vetnam. "t becomes part of your personal hstory, ths trauma that you have experenced. t's all too panful," Adn "t s a common thread that runs through all vets words can't descrbe the.emotons," sad Adn. For every vet, the experence s dfferent. Each carryng hs own burden of memores. Each wth hs own reacton. "My son s named after my best frend from Vetnam, Greg Thomas," sad Okada. " was talkng wth hm when he was ht by a rocket or mortar round. My son s a lvng memoral to hm, a man ntensely knew for fve months." "The pan and anger have taken years to work through," Okada n Vetnam, you ddn't know a man for long, sometmes only a day's tme. "We lost 80 of 110. men durng one year. You only knew a guy by hs last name or a nckname," sad Adn, who acqured the name Voodoo-chld from a popular Jm Hendrx song. Every msson was dfferent for each vet. "We swam n the daytme, and ambushed charle at nght," sad Hamlton, who was part of a Marne combned acton group that worked wth the local mlta near Hamlton H Phong Pass, 30 mles North of Da Nang. "They sad that Charle (the North Vetnamese) owned the nght, well, we were contestng t wth them," Hamlton "Three months of snoopn' and poopn' protectng those rce pattes." For Adn and Okada, ther tme was spent hackng through the dense jungle that makes up the terran of most of Vetnam. Both receved Purple Hearts for wounds n acton. For Adn, that meant a couple hundred splnters from a fragmentary grenade lodged n hs back. They both realzed that the war was fghtng aganst them. " beleved that the war was unwnnable, gven the way we were fghtng," sad Okada. " thought my government knew what they were dong. Gven that Nxon was Presdent, that seems rdculous now." " always realzed that ths was all for nothng, we all dd. Just look at the vocabulary. You ddn't get klled, you got wasted," Adn "f had a choce, would've gone to Canada." Returnng from ther tours of duty, each dstanced themselves from the war. Hamlton returned to school and Adn and Okada joned VVAW, Vetnam Veterans Aganst the War and were among the many who returned ther medals. Okada gave hs two bronze stars (acts of courage) and Purple heart to a frend to take to the Captal n Washngton D. C, whle Adn turned hs three bronze, stars and two purple hearts to Kngston's Daly Freeman newspaper, callng the medals, "medals of shame." roncally, Okada receved another medal, a Combat nfantry Badge, n the mal not too long after. Okada's wfe was also protestng Amerca's nvolvement n the war. "Apparently, she lad down n the path of a B-52, and chaned herself to the gate of a Naval Staton," sad Okada. Hamlton's return to the academa that he left at 19, he enlsted n the Marnes because he wasn't happy n college, ptted hm n the mdst of turmol once agan. "t bothered me that people were wavng the North Vetnamese flag. Protesters ralled around that flag, when a year before could have shot them for t," Hamlton However, Hamlton stuck wth hs studes, eventually earnng a PhD n economcs, credtng t to the maturty he found n Vetnam. That was hs way of dealng wth the anger and angush. "For many people, the war sn't over, the casualtes are stll comng n," sad Adn. Casualtes that Amerca fnds mrrored n the wall. The wall, a monument to the pan and tre sufferng of 58,000 men and women who were Amerca's sacrfce n Vetnam to a hopeless cause. n Washngton, n the shape of a ggantc V, the aura of the shrne overwhelms most vstors.

"My mother has a frend who works at a Veterans's Hosptal," sad Roper, a junor from Southngton, Conn. "She just asked me f wanted one one day." " sad yes because my father was a vet and ddn't want them to be forgotten," Roper Roper's father, an Ar Force mechanc, stopped eatng Chnese food untl two years ago because of the thngs he wtnessed n Vetnam. "He just doesn't talk about t," sad Roper. " always thnk t could have been hm on my wrst." Bshop, an Army Staff Sargent from Hartford, Conn., was lsted as Mssng n Acton two years before Roper was even born. The bracelet, to be worn untl the subject s found or f nformaton s dscovered about ther death s obtaned, only leaves Roper's wrst for a shower. "t sn't much, but t means somethng to me and to hs famly," sad Roper. On a hgh school band trp her junor year, Roper made a trp to the wall. "The black monument overwhelms you," sad Roper. "You see famly members and frends sometmes talkng to the wall as f the person was behnd the name, caressng the name as f t was the person. "t's so quet and personal. t's amazng that so many people can have so much respect," Roper "t made wearng ths bracelet so much more sgnfcant." Roper used the computers at the ste to pn-pont Bshop's name. She took an etchng of hs name from the wall. "People ask me f he s a boyfrend, relatve, frend, or from my town, or ask me f can get them a bracelet," Roper "t's good that they ask, because t creates awareness. t makes them curous and t makes them thnk about the war," sad Roper. At Let's Dance her freshman year, Roper was pulled asde by the bouncer to talk about hs bracelet. "He was surprsed to see someone my age wearng one," sad Roper. "t's only the memory that counts."

So be t. Let's contnue that tradton. Whle Rver Day s hardly a pressng topc, t does lend tself to controversy. Some say Rver Day makes Marst College look hypocrtcal. How can a college wth an alcohol polcy strcter than that of the Betty Ford Clnc provde ts students wth opportunty and the substances whch they crusade aganst?, they ask. There s no real answer of course. There's lots of justfcaton, but no answer. That too s a tradton at Marst. Rver Day s restrcted to those 21 and older. t's the law, after all. Whle the senors begn to celebrate ther fnal days of college, some of ther frends wll be left standng outsde the fence to stare forlornly at ther frends all because they were born too late. s ths far? The College wll enforce ts strct alcohol polcy ths Frday down near the Hoop Lot. Meanwhle, freshmen wll be sttng n ther rooms rooms n dry resdence halls fracturng these very polces wth lttle worry of gettng caught. Why get tough for one day?,.' :- o «./ ;!: t's as rdculous as thnkng that bendng the rules for one day s gong to somehow damage Marst's mpeccable record and standng as a predomnantly dry campus. Sure, maybe t's not 100 percent logcal. So what? Students should be allowed to assocate wth ther frends at all college-sanctoned actvtes. The amout of alcohol consumed by students could be controlled, just as the the students who can drnk t legally can be dentfed. Just ask the people who run the bars and clubs n the area that allow patrons under 21 how they do t. Some places use a rubber stamp, others use bracelets to sgnfy who can and who can't drnk. Sure, there would be some who could get by ths system. Bg deal, securty wll be there to keep the peace. Thnk of the alternatves. Students shut but of ths supervsed event wll have ther own partes whch wll probably go unnotced because of Rver Day.

Fndng the rght job that could utlze the 60,000 worth of educaton we have receved these last four years would be rewardng and allevate some of my job anxety. Most students r know are not nterested n "gettng rch" or "strkng a gold mne." At ths pont, they just want to fnd a job n ther feld of expertse. Borng ' Lfe changes you Perhaps all college students go through changes n ther poltcal development. They become less dealstc about poltcs and more realstc as they grow ntellectually and emotonally wth age. Suddenly the realty of fndng a job has occuped the mnds of today's youth. Ths has left poltcal ssues to smmer on the back burners of the "knowledge stoves" n our mnds. Ths may not necessarly be a bad thng. Those ssues, those potent poltcal agendas we once thought we should and could fulfll and affect become less mportant. Rasng famles, payng taxes, buyng homes and makng car payments become daly realtes that requre our mmedate and more passonate attenton. As we age, we become more confdent n the belefs we hold to be true. We rely less on others to valdate and approve of those belefs and tell us they are correct. Age has a way of temperng dealstc young mnds. Those late nght rap sessons about poltcs may contnue and your passon for belefs never totally leaves you but t seems for now the dealsm of today's youth can take a break. Busness as usual Electon '92 saw ts share of student actvsm ths past year. My housemate and (KUrt6t?eotl,l>»»>r\D-r Of fvm7jtoz-uaa:1r «*/*>«! even moderated a mock presdental debate. At the tme, poltcs seemed lke everyone's "cause celebre." Now, t seems lke "busness as usual." Maybe the meda plays a large role n "creatng exctement" and enhancng the "emotonal exctement" of an event lke an electon. The "power of the people" was a commonly heard phrase these past months, yet Washngton seems lke t s conductng busness as usual. Healthcare Hllary s conductng close negotatons on health care reform. t would be a nce gesture on her part f the publc were nformed n detal on those negotatons. After all, Bll promsed the publc would be nformed of all nformaton partcularly oh health care reform. The latest New York Tmes artcle s not so encouragng about the cost of unversal health care. Some of the proposals that could be mplemented would cause people to pay more for health care. The problem wth the proposed "Value Added Tax" or VAT s t places the tax burden on the poor and mddle class. "Mddle ncome famles could pay more than,000 a year n addtonal taxes wth a VAT as low as 4 percent, even wth exclusons for food, shelter and medcal care," accordng to the New York Tmes. We do need health care reform, but we do. not need more taxes. Do not expect employers to take on more of thefnancalstran they already would pay more for unversal care. Small and medum-szed busnesses wll not be able to survve f they are swapped wth taxes on top of more taxes for health care. Where s t all gong? Tax, tax, tax have heard enough about taxes. What the hell s the government dong wth the money they rase now? How about a new word from the democrats, how about "cut." Keep cuttng the reform package or cut excesses nternal government spendng untl health care s more affordable to the poor and mddle class wthout broad expansve new taxes that punsh those classes n socety who already bare the majorty of the tax burden. just hope those poltcans n Washngton do "change" because as a spectator, watchng these clowns go at one another and attempt to save money n the poltcal arena s just plan frustratng..

How the future" wll be, cannot know, but know my past. thnk about my past wth joy and tears. have changed. have acheved. have mproved myself. However, what has compelled me to wrte ths letter s ths gult have carred for a whle. The story began when frst arrved at'marst four years ago"from Hong Kong, some 8,000 mles away,'where was born and rased. t-was hard for me to deal wth everyday events wth a second language, but managed to handle t qute well. t was hard for me to understand the Amercan culture, but gave myself tme to learn t. know that the past s the past and s not changeable, but just cannot help to thnk that could have done more. could have done more than one major. could have made more frends. could have confronted people who made slurs to my face. confront them now, but feel gulty had let some of them go^ At Marst College, t s very mportant to have a very strong sense of one's self, especally when you happen to be dfferent. Yes, you can conform, but the consequences'. are frghtenng. am a lvng proof, and am sure there are more lvng proofs lke me at Marst. Some of them have spoken out, some have not. t s hard to have to lve through all the les and fear. t s hard to lve wth ntolerance. The other day 1, pcked up a copy of The Crcle (Aprl 8,1993), there was that artcle on page 6, ttled "Some faculty: dversty can reduce ntolerance". After readng the artcle, thought, "Where has Fr. Luke McCann been for the past decade?" He s quoted n the artcle sayng, " don't thnk there s a (tolerance) problem here (at Marst)." t s lke hearng someone sayng to me that my past four years here was a deja vu. had always thought of Fr. Luke as an ntellgent man, how come ths statement? am qute perplexed. Another thng read n the artcle was equally ronc. n the artcle, Br. Joseph L.R. Belanger suggests pushng forth global studes as a method to reduce ntolerance. How can you teach students to learn about dfferent peoples on the globe whle a lot of them cannot even deal wth the facts that there are dfferent knds of people n the Unted States, n Poughkeepse, or even at Marst? Br. Joe s also quoted n the artcle as sayng, "Human nature does not lke anythng dfferent, whether you are gay or black." 1 am terrfed to be told that do not have a human nature. s t really nhumane of me not to dslke anyone? lke blacks, whtes, hspancs, Asans, gays, straghts, bsexuals, men, women, old or young people, Catholcs, Muslms, Buddhsts, all races, relgous backgrounds, age groups and sexual orentatons. lke people who are what they. are wthout hurtng or harmng others. There s only one category that dslke, or even hate, and t s people who hurt others. Bgots and rapsts fall nto' ths category. Tell me, am nhumane to love people, or s t nhumane of those who fnd excuses to hate? Regge Ho, senor Here's the ptch from Alzy Back from the dead and scared ths tme am really scared. always enjoy, readng the letters to the edtor each week because they reflect what s really gong on n the feeble mnds of the general publc.

The.thng that shocked me was that rght above her long-wndedbabblng of nonsense was a defense of the poltcal columnst, whose phone lnes have been under sege. Also there was an open challenge to the musc columnst by someone who was "shocked, surprsed, and angered" over an artcle that he had wrtten. A week later, a letter from the entre staff of the advancement offce n Adran Hall s launched aganst The Crcle's recent lampoonng of the World Trade Center bombng. The staff went on to offer the example of a mock-athlete (and there are plenty of them here) reported by the Poughkeepse Journal wth the name "Sloof Lrpa" (Aprl Fools backward) as ther dea of what funny s. have to admt, those guys down at the Journal know how to dspense ther own brand of garbage from tme to tme.

5 MP 8 THE CRCLE, APRL 22,1993 New currculum; Students get more clout by CLAUDNE M. MARTN. The Marst College Dvson of Communcaton Arts s lookng for ways to reorganze and redefne ts currculum for the future. The changes beng dscussed mght elmnate the current track-based currculum and offer a more general approach to to areas of communcaton study. ' ".-';.....;. Takng nto consderaton that communcaton arts s the largest pro-"- grams at Marst, wth close to 750 students, any chane ncurred would undoubtedly effect many students, say some admnstrators. Currently, subcommttees of the communcaton arts faculty are lookng for deas wthn three broad categores: general communcaton; mass communcaton and organzatonal communcaton..*'". J-.'", Accordng to Dr. Edward Sprnger, who was; charman of the commttee when t began last Fall, the comng changes should not-be\a surprse for anyone.''f the faculty are dong ther job, the currculum shptld constantly be revewed." "'.-" "- : : Dr. Sarah S. Kng, charwoman of the Dvson of Communcaton and the Arts, argues the possble currculum changes' wll offer faculty, as well as students, a renewed sense of prde and dentty about the program. ' V "We need to assess what we have," sad Kng. " was hred.to do ths." Sprnger, however, expressed concern about makng possble changes: "There's always some anxety about what we should change," he "The currculum should reflect not only student nterest, but what the students should have." Up to ths pont, students had no formal role n the plannng process, Sprnger mantans. "Students are a prme concern," he sad, although questonng the mportance of ther role at ths pont. "'m not sure f we are far enough along n the process to have student nput," ndcatng that a an approprate tme may arsewhen a fnal draft has been offered. Although Kng dd not dsclose any specfc plans for student nvolvement at ths tme, she dd ndcate that student nput may be consdered n the future. And as specfcs for the new currculum are yet undecded, some ad-- mnstrators are stressng that the changes would be more generalzed. " personally would lke to see the opportunty for more generalzed study," sad Sprnger. thnk an ntroducton to communcatons course" would be benefcal for all students, whether they are specalzed or not." Kng, however, focused more on the mportance of the changes themselves, rather than delve nto specfcs. r "You must remember that the feld of study s not gong to stay the same.
