Lynn-Magee, a junior arid second' year resident assistant, organized the march because of the recent increase in violence on the Marist campus. Magee said that her intent was not to protest against the administration, but rather to give students an opportunity to show unity and send the message that violence is not welcome on campus. "I was thrilled with the number of-people showing unity and support," Magee said. "This proves that the Marist community cares." Approximately 400 students and faculty members who showed up either went individually or as representatives of the 35 different clubs and organizations which volunteered their support for the march. The march started at approximately 8 p:m., after a few Marchers gather at the McCann parking lot, Sunday volunteers handed out candles.

The second speaker was Kent security, was the first speaker of Quake rocks India; students, faculty find loved ones safe by PATRICIA FARRELL Staff Writer Fear and concern were soon put to rest as Indian students and faculty at Marist discovered that friends and family in India were safe and unharmed after last week's earthquake. The quake which hit the state of Maharashtra, India at 3:56 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 30, has now left an estimated 22,000 people dead and 150,000 people without food or shelter, Indian officals said. The most severe earthquake in more than SO years in India has left emotional reactions with Indian students and faculty at Marist with friends and family in India. Onkar Sharma, chairman of computer science and math, was relieved to find that none of his family or friends in the state of Bihar, approximately' 1,000 miles northeast, were harmed by the quake. He heard about the quake on his way to Marist the following morning, " I was first worried about my friends and family living over there when I heard it on the radio," Sharma said. "It was a great tragedy in India and I am thankful my family is okay." Sharma said that although the earthquake measured 6.4 on the Richier scale, there was considerable damage because of weak building structure and poor living arrangements in the mostly poor area of India. "Most of the people living there are poor," Sharma said. "They live in mud houses and homes with no rcinforements. The buildings have no foundations and there are many people living together." Sudhakar Menon, a graduate student in computer science, was watching CNN when he heard about the quake. He immediately called his friends and family in Madras, the capital of the southern state of Tamilnadu. Even though Madras is 400 to 500 miles away from where the quake occurred, Menon said friends and family felt shakes for 30 seconds afterwards. "1 felt a great relief that none of my family was injured," Menon said. "This is history for us, we never knew much about earthquakes." Similiar sighs of relief came from Shobha Chakrapani, a graduate student in computer science, who said she was "extremely shocked" and "very nervous" when she heard about the quake. CJiakrapani said she quickly called her parents, who live in Hyderabad, withing a hundred miles of the area immediately hit by the quake, to find that they were unharmed. "I have family living both in the Bombay's and in Hyderabad and was very relieved to hear no one was injured," Chakrapani said. "It is hard to be relieved though, when so many people have died." The last major earthquake of this magnitude to strike India was in October of 1991, in the Himalayas, leaving 1,600 people dead. It measured 6.2 on the Richter scale. Anthony Fusar, resident director of Gartland Commons, said in his speech that students should remember the lessons of the march, that the Marist community should not tolerate violence. The final speaker, Roberto Amato, director of the counseling center said that the march made a "powerful statement," and now that students are past the initial reaction of fear, education can prevent other occurences. Marist College President, Dennis Murray, spoke at the end of the march, saying that he was impressed with the event. '.'Not only was it a great turnout, but it was a resopnsible and elo-. quent statement," Murray said. Murray said that it proved that the students are committed to working together. Both students and faculty who marched agreed that the march showed unity in the Marist community. Daryl Ledyard, director of public relations for the event, said it was great to see so many people come together for one goal.

Internal reconfiguration Marist looks to academic structure by JEFFREY J. ROSE Staff Writer Marist's "physical appearance may not be the only aspect of the campus undergoing reconstruction in the future, according to a document released by Robert J. Grossman, associate professor of business, and Marc vanderHeyden, vice president for academic affairs. A report dated Sept. 9 from vanderHeyden and Grossman outlined options for a possible academic restructuring of the college by: — Dividing the college into five schools of concentration; — Developing three schools of concentration and keeping a divisional structure in four areas of study; — Keep the present configuration of six divisions and a school of of Adult Education. "The current divisional configuration has served the college well," said Grossman." We are now exploring ways to make ourselves better." The faculty has been brought up to date with the proposals through an academic organization document, written by Grossman arid vanderHeyden, and are currently expressing their thoughts through divisional meetings, colloquiums and E-mail (electronic mail). The proposals are still in the early stages ofdiscussion and will be debated throughout the Marist community during the semester. According to the, academic organization document, the final proposal will be presented to the faculty on Dec. 15. The first option consists of a School (or College) being established for five specialized areas. Thescareas would be designated as: Liberal Arts and Sciences, Business Administration and Public Policy, Social and Behavioral Sciences, Communication Arts and Information Sciences, and Continuing Education. "The current divisional has served the college well. We are now exploring ways to make ourselves better." — Robert Grossman, associate professor of business The second option would establish three separate schools and keep the divisional structure for the Humanities, Natural Sciences, Mathematics and Social and Behavioral Sciences. The three schools established under this plan would be a School of Business Administration, School of Communication and the Arts and School of Continuing Education. Another area that is being debated is how the faculty should be governed. According to Grossman, many departments have advocated having the faculty members elect the department leaders. The current policy has the administration appointing the divisional chairs. The academic organization document says that if schools were established within the college, they would be led by appointed deans, who would be selected in accordance with the .college search procedures. This would allow faculty members to elect their department chairs and to play a substantive role in making decisions that affect them and the students. These decisions would concern curriculum, personnel and budget, according to the academic organization document. Departments have also wanted established schools within the college because academic structure would be consistent with configurations favored by accrediting authorities, the academic organization document says. It is very desirable to have accredited programs within the college," Grossman said. "It would open up what we can offer students. Every institution that has accredited programs has its own schools. "I think (the college setting up schools) is a wonderful idea,", Grossman said^ " I believe it will make the college even better, but the question now is what the faculty wants. There is no right way or wrong way here." "We are now discussing the positives and the negatives of each option," Edward Springer, assistant professor of communication, said. "With only one faculty meeting so far, it. is not clear as to what option would best suit the Communication and the Arts division." .2 THE CIRCLE, OCTOBER 7,1993 Sledding goes from Jamaica to Hollywood by ANDREW BORIS and COLLEEN MURPHY Colleen: This week, the spirit of the "Rocky'* movies has been captured by Disney and director Jon Turteltaub in "Cool Runnings." How can you not root for a Jamaican bobsled team? Andrew: Going to see this movie, I was expecting a silly romp through the beaches of Jamaica to the slopes of Calgary. That's basically what I got, but surprisingly, I liked it. I think this film is a little inane for the adult movie-goer, but children should have no problem finding its appeal.

They then meet skeptical former slider Irv Blitzer (John Candy), who thinks they're a younger market. Plus, it was fun.

A: Well, they basically are a joke. That's the main thrust of this movie. It's a few hours of making fun of big Jamaican men crammed into a bobsled. Of course, this is Disney; it's a family film.

Sappy sentiment seems to make its way into this film just when the fun really starts to roll.. -... To me it was a little drawn out and misplaced.

Get 'Cuckoo' by experiencing Curve's sonic cold front by DANA BUONICONTI Most of the shoegazer bands of recent years, bands named so for playing swirly guitar pop while gazing at their shoes, seem to have fallen by the wayside. Maybe it's record downtime, who knows? One band that has stuck around, though they're technically not shoegazers, but have been lumped into that category, is Curve. Hailing from England, Curve has been around for about two years. Their new record, "Cuckoo," on Anxious/Charisma records, finds them expanding their musical direction. At heart, Curve is Toni Halliday and Dean Garcia. They write the songs and play most of the material in the studio themselves, fleshing out their live shows with additional musicians. What sets them apart from shoegazer bands is that there is really nothing swirly about their guitar parts at all. Bands like Lush, Ride, and My Bloody Valentine are all fairly warm-sounding bands. Curve is the ice queen. What's so striking about "Cuckoo" is how cold the record compare an entire record to an EP, There is something recognizably the hooks were better on ..--''. forebodding and macabre about "Frozen." / Some might argue that their songs.

Steroids and other current football issues confronted in 'Program' by JENNIFER GIANDALONE Staff Writer What's more important to the administration of a big university: producing well-educated students who will go out in society and make a difference, or a winning football team whose players will eventually sign NFL contracts? Touchstone Pictures' latest release "The Program" attempts to answer this question along with many others regarding sports on the college and professional levels. The alumni and administration of Eastern State University are upset that their school hasn't had a winning football team in a few years. So they start to put the pressure on head coach Sam Winters (James Caan, "Misery"). Coach Winters is given an ultimatum: put together a team that will make it to a bowl game at the end of the season or look for another job after 12 years with the university.

Poughkeepsie: Arlington Q Marist is Ron Levine, the first head . coach. "He was the perfect man for the job," said Finn. "Levine was an active member of the community, was a qualified coach, and liked the idea of getting involved with Marist. He took a very active interest and was determined to creating a successful program at the college." The club soon gathered momentum and recognition, Finn said, and there was a definite direction in the club's activities. By the fall of 1965, Marist fielded its first football team. The football team was named the Marist Vikings at the time because it was a club activity and was not permitted to take on the Red Fox logo. The Vikings suited up 51 players and lost their first game to Seton Hall, but went on to post a respectable 3-3 record for the year. More importantly for the club, Finn said, was the fact that they created an excitement, " a movement that wouldn't stop." Finn arranged for the club to rent Riverview Field on Friday nights for home games. "The games were very well attended by the students and the community," said Finn. "There were only a couple hundred students at the school in 1965, but we would have around 2,000 people at our home games." All of the Vikings' games were carried over a commercial radio station, and soon everyone wanted to become a part of the football club. "We became very selfsufficient," said Finn. "After our first season I was able to hand over $8,000 to the next club president." Finn said that the club took up a full year of his life, but "it was a better experience then all my classes combined. It was like being a president of a company at the age of 20."

Built of a lattice weave of steel and wood in 1888, the Poughkeepsie Railroad Bridge is the dinosaur of all of the structures that it leaves in its shadow. Its dominating appearance characterizes early Hudson River Valley life at the turn of the century, giving today's passerby a retrospective of an earlier time 104 years ago. Yet, as the 90's ease into 2000, the bridge remains in its original form,' untouched by modern improvements. According to land records, the bridge is owned by Vito Moreno, a resident of King of Prussia, who bought the bridge for $1 in April of 1990. for demolishing the landmark bridge, as well as plans for turning it into a mallarea. A pair of men actually bungee jumped off the span on'Nov. 13, 1991. Since then, it seems that everyone from Poughkeepsie to the Coast Guard wants money for back taxes, fines and navigation lights. These plans are a far cry from the bridge's former duties as a rail link from industrial New England to the coalfields of Pennsylvania in the early 1900's. In the meantime, no one can reach Moreno. William Sepe, a resident of Poughkeepsie, proposed that the span be converted into a walkway across the Hudson back in March of 1992, and has been fighting for funds ever since.

If the current path continues, there will be nothing left of the bridge, but a listing on the National Register of Historic Places.

Seven steps, stop. . Five steps, stop. The pattern continues as I walk along the trestle on top of the 104-year-old railroad bridge that crosses the.Hudson River between Poughkeepsie and Highland. The walk mimics the clattering of a freight train that would have made its way across the one and a quarter miles of wrought-iron latticework years ago. I can hear the waves of the river lapping at the base of the columns that hold up the massive structure, 212 feet beiow the wooden trestle. My steps continue between the rails, taking two ties-a-stride, finally taking me to a platform, onethird of a mile from the Highland side of the bridge. From that vantage point, the Hudson Valley glimmers in a green glow as the leaves are just beginning to change below. The wind picks up over the rusted railings in their turn of the century detail. Breathtaking. Decades ago, my great grandfather may have stood at this point as he surveyed the land he was to turn into the rail bed on the Poughkeepsie side of the river. He was a railroad engineer and lived in Poughkeepsie far before I was even born, even before Marist ever existed. Back then, the bridge was known as "Old Wobbly," because it was designed to flex under the weight of a freight train, heavily laden with coal from Pennsylvania. You can still smell the grease from the locomotives on the ties. Now, as I take what some may call a semi-illegal trip across this landmark, I can see why this bridge should be demolished, but I can see more reasons why it should stay. I am a strong believer in history, and you shouldn't destroy the past. Especially if it costs $7 million to do so. For the same money, the bridge could be restored as a walkway, and I could walk across it legally. All that needs to be done, is to cut through bureaucracy. This isn't a new term in Poughkeepsie. Just look at the executive office building that has finally been completed. Now, give the bridge to the group that will do the most for it: The Poughkeepsie-Highland Railroad Bridge Co. and the Hudson Valley Greenway, before it falls into the river. And you thought that we had gridlock now.

Approximately 400 students, faculty and public-conscious administrators marched from the McCann Center to the Gartland Commons Apartments last Sunday to protest the violence on campus so far this year. Liberal estimates say only one third of those finished the trek as it retraced its steps to McCann. Next topic: parking. Several concessions have been made to on campus students, but many still believe this entire fiasco was unnecessary. Look how much time was wasted on this trivial topic. After a general meeting with Joe Leary, director of the Office of Safety and Security, students shifted their complaints to the real source.of this chaos: the administration. Many students expressed displeasure and even disillusionments with Mark Adin, the assistant vice president, after this meeting claiming Adin did not know of the vandalism in Hoop Lot over the past few years. Shannon Roper, a senior, said: "I didn't think he knew what he was talking about." The clueless administrator ploy is old and not very reliable, though. As usual the parking problems were taken care of but not much changed. Watching this issue progress it is easy to draw tangents to issues of past years. Last year the C-vvord was condoms; this year it's cars. The fervor with which students attacked this cause almost rivaled that of the Great Condom Debate in the spring of 1993. Of course, that debate remains unresolved, too. Where do things stand now? Exactly where they began, that's where. Nothing's changed. Status quo may as well be Marist's motto. Now what do protest marches, parking woes, and condom controversies have in common? All three are examples of situations where students could have taken control of an issue but let the administration or their own lackadaisical nature put them off. Most of the blame here does lie with the students for a change. Granted there wasn't much they could do about changing parking. A petition was started on the first day upper classmen began arriving. So what happened to it? Commuters now find themselves banished to Beck Place without being consulted, much like residents students when they arrived at Marist in September. As for the protest march, to many it looked like an administrative P.R. job. That's debatable, but irrelevant considering many students didn't bother to see it through to the end. Why? Are mild, clear, Sunday nights so unbearable that a stroll around the campus is too much to take? Those who did march to the end are to be commended. Those who dropped off should question why they bothered to begin the walk in the first place. They didn't see it through to the end. Condoms are no different. Kent Rinehaft ran for Student Government Association president last spring. His supporters called him Condom Man. So what has he done about condoms? Well, there's a committee in the works. The pros and cons of committees have been discussed in this space many times. Now the fun begins. What will this committee do, and will it needed other committees to help it commit to any action? It all comes down to continuity. Marist, generally, is not so good with this concept, especially the students. We get all fired up over a cause and play with it until it gets a little old or something flashier comes along. Then we shelf it. While the College starts to restructure itself physically, why don't we students try a bit of reconfiguration ourselves? If a cause titillates us, enrages us, or simply interests us, why don't we sincerely make an effort to make a difference? Editor's notebook by MATT MARTIN Want to solve a problem? Have a march. • March for AIDS, gays, women, men, flea collars and more toys in your cereal boxes. A march is worthless unless it is followed up with continued actions. It's a tribute to the organizers that they were able to draw between 350 and 450 marchers to "Take back the night," an event that has been previously associated with Rape Awareness Week, and usually poorly attended. To put this number into perspective, football didn't even pull that many students for their last home game. However, neither was able to hold their attention for the entire event. After the march rounded Gartland Commons, the number of participants had dwindled to around 100. Is this an indication of future involvement in protests and actions taken against campus violence? Will students refrain violent acts, while the other segment of the population takes the appropriate measures so that they won't place themselves in unneeded danger? Let's rephrase the question, how many have reformed their actions based on the AIDS epidemic? Thought so. A march is a great first step to recognizing the problem. However, much more must be done than placing a Band-Aid over the wound. According to Marist Security statistics that are available to all students, this is the first "rape" on campus since these statistics were required to be published. Ask to see their numbers on date rapes... There aren't any. That doesn't mean this campus is safe from this activity. If it did, Marist would be a cosmic phenomenon. One-in-five women are raped every year. Marist had one, and it will happen again. What are you going to do about that? Mr. or Mrs. President? The changing role of the first lady has been a major topic of discussion this year. Some believe Hillary is making too many decisions and should ^stick to the traditional roles; while others beiieve this is the year of the woman. I said it before and I will say it again: •Americans did not vote for Hillary or any first lady, for that matter. They voted for their husbands. It seems to me Hillary is too much involved politically. I realize her role is very political, but the committees she is in charge of are really not the responsibilities of the first lady. Hillary is most recognized for her involvement with forming a plan for national health care. Don't we elect congressmen, as well as senators, for that? Who can hold her accountable for her actions? If she makes a mistake, we cannot fire her. The only person she has to answer to is her,boss; which jiist happens,to be her husband. It seems to me the role of the first lady has also changed, just as the role of the woman has changed. He said Scott Sullens More and more, we are seeing women move up the corporate ladder, as well as receiving recognition in different types of fields. This could have a direct effect on the way the role of the first lady is viewed. I do not care if the first lady is a lawyer, corporate executive, or a doctor — I did not vote for her. I am not trying to sound sexist because I feel the same way if we had a woman presidents ; The first man should not be making the big decisions or heading committees that are going to affect the country. So what is the role of the first lady? Should she just be supportive.of her husband, a ceremonial figure, or just a wife? The president, I mean Hillary, has been given more coverage than the vice-president. What does this say to the American public? . Hillary is more important than Al "the stiff Gore? Some say without Hillary, Bill would not be president. I truly believe the spouse is very important in a political career, but that does not mean her reward is a cabinet position, head of a national committee of health care, or defense secretary. What this basically comes down to is the fact that this is dangerous. When any unelected person is put into a political role that determines the outcome of the entire nation, there are some definite problems. The problem is there is no checks and . balances between the president, I mean Bill, and his wife. Scott Sullens is one of The Circle's political columnists. VIEWPOINT Since the first days of the campaign for the Oval Office, America thought if Bill Clinton was elected president, Hillary would not be the typical first lady. They were right. Although the role of the modern first lady has greatly expanded, America has not seen, since Elanor Roosevelt, such a strong and powerful first lady as Hillary Rodham Clinton. Not to say that other first ladies did not have important roles-they did. Perhaps one of the most powerful women in politics was the wife of President Wilson. It is said that after the president's stroke in 1919, Mrs. Wilson made all the decisions on behalf of her husband. Rumor has it that after the president's stroke, whenever there was a situation that demanded Wilson's attention, the first lady would go into the president's room alone, and come out a few minutes later with what was said to be the president's order. It was this incident that provided one" of the main arguments for the 25th'Amendment - allowing the president to yield power to the vice-president and giving Congress the ability to do so. i Editor: A funny thing happened to me when I pulled into a spot in the North end parking lot at 7:45 a.m. on Sept. 27i 1993." I was handed a flyer stating that as of October 4, I was no longer allowed to park in this area. Now I am expected to park in the off-campus inconvenience called Beck Place. It seems as though a few oncampus residents have created a big fuss about commuter students parking on campus, while residents were asked to park in Beck Place and other distant lots. Apparently, these resident students felt that it was more important that they be able to park closer to their buildings than for commuter students to park there. Well, the change has been made, and they got what they wanted. No one even considered to ask commuter students how they felt about the situation or seemed to consider the effects of how this would affect commuters. So, I would like to take this opportunity to do just so. I am a full-time resident of Marist College who lives in Canter'bury Gardens. Many of us did not choose to live out here. Many would have liked the luxury of living on campus. Who want" t« drive 2n minute: President Clinton gave the first lady what will probably be one of the most important tasks in his administration: drafting the first national health care plan. While Mrs. Clinton has received tremendous praise this past week after several congressional hearings on her health care plan, she will continue to be criticized by her opponents. First, it was cookies and now health care, but are these the real reasons people do not like the first lady? No. Even today, some Americans fear a woman in charge. Some argue that Hillary is the one making all the decisions in the White House. All that comment indicates is that people do not have much faith in their president. What is wrong with a husband listening to his wife; especially if she is one of the best lawyers in the country. But this is not a new controversy. When Franklin Roosevelt was running for office, pins surfaced saying, "We don't want Eleanor either." Like Hillary, Eleanor was a leader. A woman ahead of her time, Eleanor fought for civil, human, and children's rights. She lobbied hard outside the White House while caring for her five children and a husband with polio. Eleanor had her own newspaper column and held her own press conferences; allowing only female reporters to attend. Hillary Rodham Clinton should be treated as any other member of of the administration. Caroline Jonah is one of The Circle's political columnists. I also realize that safety is a concern of on-campus residents, having to park and then walk to their homes when it is dark. Well, commuters come to campus at night also. We do not just disappear when the sun goes down. Many off-campus residents have night classes and come to use the library at night. What about our safety? I realize that with all the construction going on at the present time, it is difficult to find a parking situation that pleases everyone. That is my reason for this letter. I see an opportunity for a compromise that could make many people's lives a little easier. I feel that there is a better solution to the present parking situation, and there should be something done about it.

I do not think that on-campus residents realize that every time we have a! class, we have to drive to campus. Now residents, how long does it take you to drive to campus to get to class?. I know that I am not alone when I say that I do not see the rational of having residents park on campus when practically the only time they leave campus is for recreational activities or shopping. As a former on-campus resident, I know that many times residents go for days without even driving their cars. I also found that the main time period that residents use their cars is on weekends. So why can't commuters and residents arrange a compromise in this situation? Allowing commuters to park on campus during the week, and oncampus residents to park near their homes on weekends seems to be a viable solution. The major thing that angers me about this situation is the fact that I was given the right to park on campus, and now it is being taken away. I have done nothing to lose this right, except being a commuter. Association, Ciunmul .lu&liie Societ\, Politici'l Sciciici' Club.

Daryl Ledyard, director of public relations, worked hard in all the public relations dealing with the event. On behalf of everyone who participated, I would like to say thank you to Lynn Magee for her hard work in organizing this memorable event. As I said on Sunday, it is now important for students to take the second step. If there is some way that the students feel that this campus can be made safer, please contact us in Student Government. The ad-hoc Safety and Security committee is being chaired by Jennifer Nocella (Class of 1996 President), and is working diligently on a proposal that will be submitted to me and forwarded to the administration. As many of you know, the guest pass policy was changed in the freshmen areas. This change makes it such that there is a limit on the number of guest passes in Leo, Sheahan, Marian, and lower Champagnat. I am meeting with Dean Cox this week regarding to a change in this policy. The results of freshmen elections are in. Congratulations to the following: Class of 1997; President - Scott T. Graves; Vice-President Teri-Ann Carrozzo; Secretary Jennifer L.
