Murray stated that the player involved in the alleged incident did not accept any benefits offered by Perry. If the player had accepted any benefits, he would have been declared ineligible to play basketball until an NCAA investigation was conducted. "We do not-believe the player participated in any violation," Murray said. "The violation was by the coach and the player did not participate." ' After meeting with the players twice before Friday's announcement, Murray said that all ll scholarship members of the team plan to remain at Marist. "They all seem to be in strong spirits and realize this is an obstacle to be overcome," Murray said. "They are turning an adversarial situation into a positive one. They are ready to go on with the season." Murray also said that full-time assistants John Quattrochi and Jim Todd will be retained, as will part-time assistant Mark Cook and academic advisor Bogdan Jovicic. "We are committed • to . them and have assured them that they should proceed with their duties," he said. Murray also said that he expects to name a successor to Perry "within a week."- "Obviously there's concern that a quick decision is not one that can be analyzed with great deliberation," he said. "But basketball practice starts Oct. 15, and we intend to get someone here to move the program along." The decision to request Perry's resignation has "ended the Kingston native's controversial six-month stay at Marist. Perry took the coaching post last March after being chosen over 71 other candidates':" iri'^'tiie • higfily'fv'; publicized-, nationwide search* which lasted two months. Perry replaced Ron Petro, who after 18 years as head of the Red Foxes resigned to become the full-time athletic directer. Petro, who was forced to choose between-being coach or athletic director when the college decided to separate the two positions last year, has since taken the post of athletic director at the University of Alaska at Anchorage. Perry was chosen by a 14member search committee composed of faculty members, trustees and alumni, and headed by Marist alumnus Thomas McKicrnan. The ex-Marist coach was the first to apply for the job and the last to be interviewed and was interviewed in both Europe and the United States during the search. The first two months on the job were busy ones for Perry. He was on the recruiting trail looking for potential prospects to help him with his big plans for the program. "If we are going to be a legitimate Division One team this gym (McCann Center) won't be sufficient," he told The Circle last year. "We- should get to about 6,000 seats." The remainder of Perry's term was marked with controversy, as there was a big turnover in the athletic administration at the James J. McCann Center. The school currently has no athletic director and, because of this recent situation, Marist no longer has a basketball coach. " I t was one of the most thorough search processes I've ever seen," Murray said of Perry's hiring. " T h e r e were a wide variety of recommendations for Perry and .they always gave him the highest ratings." Murray said that Perry was no longer on the college payroll and that there would be no separate administrative or judicial action taken against the coach. " I t ' s just unfortunate," Murray said.

Richard A. LaMorte, assistant dean of student affairs. One event causing the tightened security is the alumni tailgating party in the McCann fieldhouse parking lot, an event where alcohol is present, said LaMorte. "The" number of problems seems to increase each year, but what we do to stop them doesn't increase in proportion," LaMorte said in reference to difficulties caused by students attending the tailgating party along with the alumni. • In a hand-out for all Marist students, LaMorte outlined college norms and procedures that will be in effect for the weekend. t h e hand-out remindedstudents of the need to carry Marist I.D. at all times and to present it if approached by a college official, the regulation against alcohol consumption in outside areas of i Free popcorn ooocorn ava'\\atle: a\\ nicest .*.».' .m\. *.--v "V~\ t-,^ . ^ . ^ . 7 . % i. yz'i'.'. ~r,' i. -. • Lee Miringoff funds was resubmitted and professor of communications. reviewed at the end of September, The Beirne-Spellman Media the cabinet saw the need for extra Center owns and operates apfunds and made the allocation. proximately $300,000 of equipSince the college opened in ment, including a television September, the media center has - studio, radio production area and been under criticism by several a full control room, which serves faculty members because of the primarily the communication arts subsequent delays in set-ups and classes.

In addition, Waters said, that an underpass would create security problems and a guard would have to be hired. The college is not considering using buses to transport students to and from Marist East because, according to Waters, "that would only create more traffic." Waters said that students may use the parking lot at the south side of Marist East but that parking is prohibited in the circle at the front of the building. The college "will eventually be giving out tickets" to cars parked in the circle, he said. Waters emphasized the need for students to use caution when crossing the intersection and said that the situation "is not unusual." "A lot of colleges and universities have this situation — where a road goes right through the campus. I am hoping that students will be careful," he said.

Not surprisingly, Marist didn't pay much attention to its women athletes. It seldom does. But if Marist wasn't embarrassed by the, raffle tickets, it should have been. In its chauvinistic ignorance, however,, the college never even-- blushed, because it noticed nothing out of the ordinary.' Beginning this year, Marist women's basketball is entitled to all the benefits of the NCAA, and, on paper-they are exactly equal to the men. So why weren't the men selling raffle tickets'? Because they have the , . Red Fox Club, boosters from the local area, to raise money for them. The Marist men • don't have to demean themselves. They don't have to worry about money for uniforms. The Red Fox Club makes sure their needs are met: men support men. The women don't have a booster club because Marist doesn't think they'll produce any revenue. And they don't because for the past three years they've been forced to play their home games at 5:30 p.m., while the potential spectators were eating dinner. But then, even if these people wanted to eat later in order to attend . a game, chances are they wouldn't know the women were playing because Marist doesn't advertise for them. If the women want advertising, the players have to hang the signs themselves. The truth is that Marist clings to a chauvinistic attitude towards women's sports: that they don't count and people won't pay to see them. .. But the fact is that women's sports do count and people do pay to watch them. Montclair State in New Jersey, for instance;' has a women's basketball team that consistently sells out their gym. Marist has beaten Montclair. This year, perhaps the women have more of a chance than they've had in the past, but they suffer from the administration's shortsightedness. This year's women have good scholarships and a team of quality players, but-they're working with an underpaid coach and a part-time assistant, so their incentive may not be there. It may never be until the college readjusts its thinking. Marist needs an attitude adjustment toward women's sports, and if it's done right, one day the college will have the sense to be embarrassed if its women athletes have to sell raffle tickets. Sobering thoughts John Rosowski was 22 years old when he died. That's not much older than most of the people reading this editorial. But the saddest thing about John's death is that it was so senseless; it did not have to happen. He was killed last Saturday night, just north of the Marist campus, in an automobile accident .which involved someone drinking and driving. : Until we realize that something this horrible can happen to us, things will not change; indeed, they will more than likely getworse. The laws against driving while intoxicated are on the books, and they've .done some good. Since the drinking age in New York State was raised to 19, there have been 25 Editor The Circle Associate Editor* percent fewer alcohol-related automobile fatalities. That is an improvement. . But it's not enough. Until we come to understand that human life is worth more than a beer run to a deli or a joy ride after a party, people will still die. If a liberal arts education is what we are getting at Marist; one of the things it should teach.us is the value of human life; the importance of each one of us. •; ;.:•"• -.- r- . , :/: The fact is that a large percent of alcoholrelated accidents involve people within the college age level. If lives are going to be spared, then, it is we who. must fake on the responsibility of ensuring other people's safety.

The campus debates, collectively titled "Showdown '84," will be held immediately before or after the . nationally televised debate between Walter Mondale and Ronald Reagan. The Presidential debate will also be aired on large screen televisions during the events. The campus debates will feature prominent individuals analyzing campaign issues such as the arms race, the economy, civil rights, the environment, women's issues, and education policy. Co-sponsors with NSCVR of . the debate include Project Vote, Southwest Voter Registration Education Project, Human- MargoKuclch Christine Dempsey John Bakke SERVE, United States - Public Interest Research - Group (U.S.PIR'j), United States Student Association, The Difference, American Association of University Women, Public Citizen, Democracy Project, Public Citizen, Environmental Safety, and the Children's Foundation.

Laura Reichert Buslnsss Manager Laura Relchert Advertising Manager PeteColaizzo Faculty Advisor by Gary A . Davis It's 1984. It's the year of "Big Brotherly" importance which also happens to contain another Election Day. Millions of people will flock to the polls with the belief that they are electing a man to the most powerful democratic office in the world. Americans cast their ballots with a feeling of authority as their opinions are recorded. The voters leave the booth with the thought that their vote is directly giving a man the presidency of the United States. The president and vice-president, however, are not elected by the people. They are given the office by a group of special Americans known as the Electoral College. This group, which may have had a practical purpose during the early years of this nation, is now an archaic institution that should Bemte Heer David McCraw I Can I talk at you for a couple of minutes? If this year's election is the first one you'll be voting in, I think you should stop and consider the candidates a bit before you pull the lever. Sometimes people vote for the lesser of two evils. Sometimes people vote for a candidate's promises. Mostly, though, people vote the way those around them vote. Before I go on I would like to say that I have no alternate candidate to promote, nor do I see much chance of a change in the • presidency in the next four years. But I obviously don't like Reagan or the prospect that he'll be in office until 1989. The purpose of this "ranting" is simply to show that there really may be some flaws in this administration that should make us think twice about allowing Reagan to continue his reign. •''•••"> y'-x Reaganomics is a word that has become a part of the English language in the past four years. What exactly does it mean? Obviously it is the economic policies which the Reagan administration has instituted.. But how has this affected the people of the nation? -Well, we know that a lot of budgets have been.cut, and that The smoker, on the other hand, \ s always content because he never tastes the glop his old lady puts on the table anyway. Boiled shoes or - filet'of sole are all the same to his taste buds, which like those annoying seat belt buzzers,' have long been disconnected. The smoker is happier for it, and so is his wife. Another important domestic use of smoking is to avoid answering embarrassing - questions. Say, for example, your wife asks you where that blonde wig in the back of.the car came from. If you're a'hbn-smoker, you'll probably panic and tell the truth'. But all a smoker has to do is reach into his shirt pocket for a cigarette, light up and inhale thoughtfully as if the question is of great interest to him. the, exhaling in a thin, sincere stream in the best Hollywood tradition, he looks around frantically for an ashtray. Up until this point, the wife's anger has been directed at the husband, but now it's magically transferred to his cigarette. Hei mind is awhirl with possibilities, not of infidelity, but of how to keep that ash from falling and burning the carpet, the sofa or the dog. An adept smoker, with a few abrupt turns, can emotionally exhaust his spouse in a short time. She'll forget all about the wig, happy that her home hasn't burned, down, and they'll both trot happily off to beddy-bye. Meanwhile, the non-smoker is spending a hot night in the back seat of a Toyota with that blonde wig. Smoking is also an easy way to let people know you're busy, and it comes in very handy at the office. While non-smokers might do more work than smokers, the boss can't possibly notice a wastebasket full of crumpled papers or a typing blister as he flies through the office between golf games. He only has time for snap judgments, and in the nonsmoker's case it's "goofing off." But when the boss sees an overflowing ashtray, a secret smile flickers in the corner of his managerial heart. He thinks, "activity." If the butts are hurriedly crushed, he thinks, "dedication." If there's one cigarette that's burned all the way down without being touched, he thinks, "promotion." The non-smoker, on the other hand, is never promoted because he show neither the smoke nor fire that bosses love to see. Only the janitors who empty ashtrays appreciate a non-smoker, and even they think there's something a little weird about anyone who so flagrantly disregards his personal well-being. And makes no butts about it. . Lewis Eisenberg teaches Fiction workshop, and is an adjunct faculty member who lives in New Paltz. more money has been directed, towards the arms race. Does that scare anyone? There seems to be a tendency to think that the U.S. is coming out of an economic slump. Big business is doing very well these days, creating jobsand funneling profits into the economy. But low and middle income families are still caught in a situation of little or no extra capital. As usual the rich get richer and the rest of the country stays the same.

It has twice shown - itself completely country. unrepresentative of the. people's Since the ratification of the desire. In 1876, Samuel J. Tilden. received over 250,000 more votes than Rutherford B. Hayes, yet Hayes won the election because he received one more electoral vote than Tilden. Twelve years later, Grover Cleveland received almost 100,000 more votes than Benjamin Harrison, yet Harrison won the election, because the Electrical College awarded him dozens more electoral votes. The main problem with the Electoral College is that it awards the votes unproportionate to the popular vote within each state. For example, if. Walter Mondale happens to win by just one vote in New York State, he would most likely get all of the state's 41 electoral votes. It's possible for a presidential candidate to win a simple majority in just 11 key electoral states and win the election even if the opponent won every single vote in all of the remaining 39 states. The Electoral College is obviously a ridiculous, inequitable way to elect a president in our modern age. In the weeks to come, the media will be flooded with messages that will try to get you to vote one way or the other. The candidates will be out on the campaign trail asking people to vote for them. They would both say that the American people have the ability to make the choice that is best for the country. The government should give the people the true power to make this choice. We are now in a highly technological, well educated society. It is an insult to our intelligence to maintain the Electoral College and allow only 538 special people out of a nation of a quarter billion to vote for the president. It's 1984. It's about time that the American people told "Big Brother" that we demand the right to vote.

Like President-turned-hippie Reagan, Flower Child Walter Mondale has expressed an eloquent plea for peace. When the campaign aides for Gary Hart and Jesse Jackson asked for a nofirst-use of nuclear weapons plank in the Democratic Party platform, Mondale's aides struck the idea down. And wasn't it refreshing to hear Gov. Mario Cuomo telling the country that the Democrats like a good fight just as much as the next guy? However, it is clearly Reagan who stands on the moral high ground in the war for peace. His calls for implementation of the Peacekeeper missile, the spacebased laser weapons, and the deployment of Cruise and Pershing missiles in Europe are all causes for a war-weary world to rest easy. And Reagan's belligerent proposals for armscontrol talks lend the proper dose of blatant hypocrisy necessary to keep the peace. Ronald Reagan's "Make love, not war." motto: It was during his speech to the United Nations that old double-R showed his true face. After all, he doesn't always spend his time lighting hot-foots at Cabinet meetings. At the U.N., Reagan's words shone brighter than his Teleprompter. He closed by quoting Thomas Paine: "We have it in our power to change the world."

Singers plan medievel banquet An evening of medieval adventure, appealing to the "eye, ear and palate" will be hosted by the Marist College music department and its Chansonniers singing ensemble on Sunday, Oct. 28, on the college campus. The third annual "Madrigal Banquet" will begin at 5 p.m. with a traditional Wassaib Bowl and Boar's Head Procession in the campus Center's Fireside Lounge, transformed for the occasion into "Castell Champagnat." The public is invited to attend. According to DorothyAnn Davis, Marist's choral director, this annual reenactment of a medieval banquet by college singers, faculty, members and students is a popular event. "The Madrigal Banquet is the highlight of Marist's fall cultural season," said Davis. "The medieval atmosphere so realistically recreated by many members of the Marist community make this banquet a highly anticipated tradition at the college." The highlight of the celebration will be a five-course banquet feast of Wassail with hors d'oeurvres, Esau's Pottage (hearty lentil soup), Henne Dorre (Golden Cardamon Chicken), Mawmenye (Lentils and Lamb), Carrottes a la Flamande (carrots in beef broth, butter and parsley), and other dishes based on authentic medieval recipes including Flaming Flum Pudding. The Marist Singers and Les Chansionners will perform madrigals and baletts from a medieval repertoire including: "The Wassail Song;" "The Boar's Head Carol;" "Lirum, Lirum;" "Green Grow'th the Holly" and "Nova, Nova." The dancers will also demonstrate the Galliard, the Pavane, and the Branle, popular dances of the day. A professional brass ensemble will fill the hall with airs and fanfares.

Richard Zirinsky, an investment builder from New York City, tentatively bought the building late last year. His contract to buy the plant recently expired with him unable to make suitable financial arrangements, and the building is for sale again, according to an article in last week's Poughkeepsie Journal. • Currently, Marist and Roe Movers, Inc. rent space in the building. According to Edward P. Waters, vice president for administration and finance, Marist's lease is with Western Publishing, and any buyer of the building must adhere to the contract. The lease is for three years with a three year option to renew. "Anybody taking over has to take the building over subject to the condition to the lease," he said. As part of the lease, Waters said Marist takes care of the grounds, and has the first right of refusal on other possible tenants. "We have control over who can rent in case there is a conflict. We would not want a noisy manufacturer next to us," he said. Waters said Marist would like to buy the building, but it is not their plans at the moment. Marist East, as the Western building is now referred to, is used for 13 classrooms, the art department rooms, and offices. Waters said the Western Publishing people have been very cooperative. "They like us because we've raised the tone of the building," he said. i Page 10 - THE CIRCLE - Oct. 4,19841 Oct 4,1984 • THE CIRCLE - Page 11 Thursday Morning Quarterback The dynasty that never was Fox hunt is on again after Perry's departure by Ian O'Connor "Jim (Todd) and myself were hired by Marist College and we will remain loyal," Quattrocchi said.

The coaching career of Mike Perry by Ian O'Connor Pete Pazik strides to a personal best performance at Notre Dame, (photo by Kevin Staulz) Mike Perry's resignation under fire last week has ended the Kingston native's six-month stint as the head coach of the Marist College Division One basketball program. Perry, after 21 winning seasons as a head coach in programs ranging from Ulster County Community College to'the 1980 Swedish Olympic team, was named Marist's new coach in midMarch. The decision ended a two-month search for a successor to Ron Petro, who after 18 years as head coach of the Red Foxes resigned to devote full time to his position as athletic director. Petro has since left Marist to become athletic director at the University of Alaska at Anchorage. A graduate of Marist arch-rival Siena College, Perry started his college coaching career at Ulster in 1965 after coaching two .years in the military. With the Senators he compiled a 220-64 record over eight years and led the team to the junior college national tournament twice. After being granted a sabbatical in , 1973, Perry headed overseas to coach the Swedish national team. - Perry returned to Ulster in 1975 and coached one more season before serving a" brief stint in Saudi Arabia. In 1977, Sweden's national basketball committee offered the coach a contract to take over the country's.Olympic team.

Also, Lurie said that the average finish time had. dropped from last year's 27:08 to 26:01 this year. Co-captain Pazik said he was "psyched to run against good competition that was there." / .

After-playing to two ties last week against St. Francis-College and St. John's University, "the Marist men's soccer team is preparingjbr its upcoming home game against Hofstra University On Sunday. Marist will entertain an improving Hofstra team, which has strengthened its soccer program over the past few years. After a dismal 2-14 season, back in 1981, the Flying Dutchmen of Hofstra turned the tides last year and ended up a respectable 9-4-2 team mark. One of those Hofstra victories last season came at the_hands~of the Red Foxes, as HU defeated Marist 1-0 in overtime. This year, the Flying Dutchmen are led by senior co-captains Alan Bodenstein and Bill Metzler. Bodenstein, a, small forward at 5'6', netted 12 goals last season and has led Hofstra in scoring for the past two years. Metzler is considered to be Hofstra's steadiest player and plays the sweeper position on the team. Marist is heading into its nonconferCnce game with Hofstra after playing to a tough 1-1 tie last Saturday .against -St. John's University at Leonidoff field. Andy Ross scored the lone Marist goal at 22:21 of the second half, with an assist from Mike Terwilliger. St. John'j had taken a 1-0 lead earlier in the second half, after the two teams had played to a scoreless first half. The tie. against the/Redmen followed the scoreless tie that Marist and St. Francis had played last Wednesday. With the two ties last week," the Red Foxes. moved its overall record to 1-4-2 on the . season. The Foxes look to be heading in the right direction after a shaky start this season. Coach,Howard Goldman and the players will be looking to continue on their winning ways when the Red Foxes face Hofstra on Sunday at Leonidoff Field. Game time js 1 p.m. Fielder of California,. and the disappointment spread. There was new hope,. though, as three European recruits arrived over the summer". Perry wasn't bluffing. He did have contacts overseas as advertised. Very late in the summer the inevitable happened. Petro headed up to Alaska taking a $64,000 athletic director's post, completing a major turnover in the athletic department. Gone were assistant Al Skinner arid Don Kelbick, who were joined in the departure by Sports Information Director Jay Williams, now at Fairfield. . Perry brought in his people, and a natural friction was created between the established McCann officials and the new arrivals. There was a split in the department and without an athletic director to supply strong leadership, things did not get better. Perry's outspoken manner continued to rub people the wrong way. There was the day when he closed the curtain in the gym on some women players who were watching the guys practice. "Stay away from my players," he declared without a smile. There was also the time he spoke aloud in the McCann lobby of turning a major college coach in for NCAA violations, eventually what he himself was turned in for. "The fall of Mike Perry has been attributed to his alleged illegal offering of extra benefits to a member of the basketball team. Perry termed these reported violations "inadvert ." It's not hard to see why the mentor didn't know the rules, considering he never coached , under the regulations of the NCAA. It is hard to see though, why Perry didn't learn the rules, considering how active the NCAA has been investigating violations in recent years. But the main question people are asking is whether or not there - was something- else involved in Perry's departure. Rumors are buzzing around campus, and they keep getting uglier. It is the time for the college to speak out and clear up this current misunderstanding. It would be the wise thing to do, for this problem is likely to linger. To get this over with would enable the'basketball team to get on with its season. That should be top priority right now. This incident was, as Marist president, Dr. Dennis J. Murray described it "a tragic event." With Mike Perry gone, it's up to a group of 11 young men to hurdle this obstacle and make the upcoming season a success. . Then maybe this story will have a happy ending after all.

Red Fox assistants John Quattrocchi and Jim Todd are quality coaches, either of whom ccjld "serve as astabilizing force as the head man.

Two of the finalists in that department are Dr. Howard Goldman, Red Fox soccer coach and Marist A-D. from 1963-r76, and .Assistant Athletic Director Dick Quinn, who's been here for a little more than .four years. '•••'• Gridders ready for Kingsmen by Thorn Crosier ; After being shutout 21-0 by Iona last Friday night the;Marist College football team looks to bounce back this Saturday against Brooklyn College in this season's homecoming game. The Red Foxes hold a 4-2 series lead over Brooklyn after last year's 19-14 win, which should please Fox fanatics because Brooklyn is the only team on the schedule against whom Marist holds a series lead. Another encouraging fact for Red Fox fans is that this year's homecoming opponent is 0-4 this season. However,. Brooklyn's record may be deceiving. After an opening day 14-0 loss to Kean College, they lost to Pace, 3-1, and Jersey City, 4-1. Marist cross-country squaet improves at Notre Dame byJoeDidziulis outspoken manner did not sit well with some of the McCann employees. No one!s job was safe and no one felt secure. A turnover was expected. Then came an article in the April 8, 1984, edition of the Poughkeepsie Journal. Perry was at the All Sport Fitness and Racquetball Club and had a brief discussion with one of the waitresses. "I hope you're here when I bring recruits- in," the coach said. "Are you working Saturday? I'm bringing some players in for brunch. I'd like them to meet you. You could help nie a lot." As. Perry went on with, the interview; he, talked about the different European mores and how he. enjoyed the lifestyle. A high-ranking . administrator reportedly then made a lunch date with the coach to talk it over in the spirit of our school's Judeo Christian heritage of course. Perry went to hit the recruiting trails hard, but at first, came up empty. He talked of landing 7-4 West German ' center Gunther footwork The soccer team battles St. Francis (N.Y.) to a 3-3 tie last week. ? (photo by Margo Kucich) The Kingsmen are a p.ood passing team with returning starters at quarterback in junior Craig LaCadre and at wide receiver in Victor Williams, but the heart of the team's single back offense is running back Jim Wilson. The strongest element of the Brooklyn squad, according to Marist Head Coach Mike Malet, is the defense, especially the secondary. "It's an emerging program," Malet has said. "It's the first time in five years that they.have had the same coach two years in a row. It's a city school, and they get a lot of athletes. They could be surprising." Last Friday at Mount Vernon's Memorial Field Gael quarterback Jim Lombardi passed for one touchdown and ran for another as Iona white-washed Marist for the second time in two years. Last year Iona ruined Marist's homecoming by shutting out the -Foxes 27-0. Lombardi was 7-17 with 168 yards passing on the day and had a 95-yard touchdown run called back because of a penalty. Marist junior Jim Van Cura came from the opposite side of the line of scrimmage from his regular cornerback position to step in at quarterback for the injured Jim Fedigan. Fedigan underwent surgery last Saturday for a convulsion fracture of his thumb, which is a fracture that occurs where the ligaments are attached to the bone. Fedigan will be out of action for a minimum of four weeks and possibly the rest of the season. Friday night Van Cura went 1019 with 95 yards passing and earned the praise of Malet. "He played an excellent game considering it was the first time he's played quarterback since high school," he said. Marist never made a serious offensive threat and made numerous mistakes on defense. Malet said, "We just couldn't get our offense in gear and played sloppy on defense." The loss drops Marist's record to 2-2 going into Saturday's homecoming game. - _ - - _ » . . . , * . - » f c V » * » r » * * * » . t^f *.«•*"* i*a*l*r*+.v'~** *4**"*W>'--t** , **•+*•* *•?.**+•« > M > J * f »*j*f«»^.Jb»*«>A < *'•\«^*.
