an NCAA violation.
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

Murray also said that he expects to name a successor to 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

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

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.

Homecoming '84, the annual alumni and
student event set to take place this weekend, will
be marked by stricter campus security than in
past years, according to the Rev. 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

be in effect for the weekend.

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.

Equal on paper
With all the action in Marist basketball
last week, it's natural that the spotlight
would be on the men's team, but the college
should have noticed that its women were
doing something . embarrassing: selling
raffle tickets to raise money for their
uniforms. 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 ,

their needs are met: men support men.

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

Dear Editor:
Aiming to help students cast a
better informed vote on Nov.-6th,
the National Student Campaign
for Voter Registration (NSCVR)
is organizing simultaneous
forums on the Presidential
elections at over 100 campuses on
Oct. 21.
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.

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

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,

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.

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

situation of little or no extra

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.

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.

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.

. Dolan explained that the function o f . a residence director is
"three-fold." She said that the
R.D. must serve as a role model
for the students, to see that their
environment is safe, clean and
healthy, and to facilitate programming and activities which encourage learning and group
development. "College years are
a lime when students and people
learn a lot about themselves. The
director is there to help foster that
kind of environment," she said.
- Dolan also said she is planning
to enter the MPA program here in
the near future, and would like to

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.

T h e p l a n n e d sale of
Poughkeepsie's
Western
Publishing plant has fallen
through, but Marist College will
remain as a tenant.
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.

of Mike Perry

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. Perry accepted the offer
and resigned his post at Ulster: „-,-""
•~ Sweden finished a very respectable seventh out of twelve teams
in the 1980, .Olympics. Perry then went-onto West Germany,
where he washead of a youth training program'for a year before
being hired; to coach Stade-Francais-Paris, one .of France's top
professional teams. After two seasons in Paris', Perry landed,the
Marist job, being chosen over 71 other candidates in the
nationwide search.

After running two fairly
disappointing meets at Van
Cortlandt Park in the Bronx, the
Marist Cross • Country team
traveled to South Bend, Ind., and
last Friday ran what coach Steve
Lurie called, "the best team
performance of a Marist team
since I've been here." At the National Catholic Cross
Country Championship • held at
- Notre .Dame's.. University Golf
Course, Marist placed 12th out of
a field of 23. and four of.the.Red
Fox harriers ran personal best
times for five miles.
The finishing order for the
Marist seven were: Pete Pazik
24th, 25:02 (p.r.); Mike Mueller

27:48. Marist's total points were
305; host Notre Dame won the
meet with 57 points.
Lurie expressed satisfaction for
his team's, performance saying:
"We are gaining in this com-
petition. We've been after them to
get out faster and six of them got.
out in under five (minutes)."
As an indication of his team's
improvement, Lurie pointed out
that those returning to the Notre.
Dame meet had improved their
respective times markedly.
Pazik's time had dropped by 84
seconds, Mueller's by 87 and
Morrison's by 103. 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

Soccer team to face Hofstra Sunday

. 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.

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.

As the position of head
coach of tl.o the Marist men's
basketball team is once again
open,, two internal candidates
should get a good look.
Red Fox assistants John
Quattrocchi and Jim Todd are
quality coaches, either of
whom ccjld "serve as astabilizing force as the head
man. If Marist decides" to take
its search outside the college,
bet on Al Skinner getting the
job.
The former Fox aide is
currently at Rhode Island, but
he might jump at the chance to
take the post he almost got last
year. Skinner knows the

players, and the . a d ministration :••'•; would -feel

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.

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

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.
