y JUSTIN SEREMETOne might actually feel sorry for midgetsafter viewing the latest bad horror movie tocome out of Hollywood, "leprechaun 2."Warwick Davis, who has starred in"Return of the Jedi," "Willow," and ofcourse, the original classic "Leprechaun,"might be better employed if he was involvedin midget bowling; it might be morerespectable.Davis, who plays the repulsive, poorlymade-up leprechaun, attempts to frighten hisaudience by biting off fingers, hanging people,and jumping out from behind corners.Here's the story: after 1000 years of hibernating,the evil leprechaun emerges to finda bride and is willing to do whateverunspeakable acts that he can to find her.His desired female is named Bridget(played by the unknown Shevonne Dunkin),the typical dumb but beautiful blonde whodoesn't resist in showing off her bare chest.She is kidnapped by the leprechaun andendures his nauseating sexual advances, includinga scene you may have seen in theTHE CIRCLE, APRIL 21,1994s are people too, incommercial in which he gives Bridget a nicetongue kiss on her cheek, leaving a long lineof drool. .Of course, Bridget's boyfriend, a dorknamed Cody (Charlie Heath), will doeverything in his power to save his busty lovedone in every cliched way possible.He is assisted by his elderly friend Morty(Adam Biest), who advises Cody of the ancientpowers of the leprechaun.Biest gives the only somewhat convincingperformance since Davis's Irish tongue (punnot intended) really gets on your nerves.The film also showcases its abundance ofmidgets, who are seen in a scene at a bar onSt. Patrick's Day, conveniently theleprechaun's birthday.By the way, is it "midget," "dwarf," or"vertically challenged?"With all this talk of being politically correct,have midgets received their own fairshake?Let's give credit where credit is due.Surprisingly enough, there was a faircrowd of ethnic diversity at this Sunday eveningshowing of "Leprechaun 2."A man sitting near me had a tendency oflaughing throughout the film; giggling at theleprechaun's devious actions.During one scene in which the leprechaunyells out, "You can't escape! It's hopeless!",the man nearby repeated "he said it'shopeless!"The man also brought the wife and kidsalong for this geek show.Another scene involving Bridget punchinga man in the chest got a girl in the back rowto yell out "You go girl!"For a brief moment, I actually thought Iwas attending an advanced screening of MartinLawrence's NC-17 "You So Crazy."Maybe it was the midgets in the film thatbrought out the best in people.Maybe members of the audience are beginningto notice that there aren't enoughdwarfs in the movie/TV industry, especiallyafter the suicide of Herve Villechaize("Tattoo" of Fantasy Island) and since theWWF ended midget wrestling.B-grade horror movie fans usually viewfilms like this for the gore, yet the FX of themovie were very mediocre; the blood inuh-2""Leprechaun 2" seemed to be bordering onan orange tint. ;Not only were the FX not too good, butthe editing left something to be desired.There are scenes in which the actors'mouths are clearly not moving, yet the voicesseemed to come out of nowhere.The camera also appears to be bouncingin' some parts of the film.If you couldn't figure out by now, one canwatch "Leprechaun 2" even without watchingthe original.It's still hard to believe the first one madeenough money for there be a sequel.Nevertheless, "Leprechaun 2" is perfectfor viewing at 4 a.m. on "USA Up All Nite,"and might be more enjoyable under the influenceof drugs or alcohol while tellingmidget jokes.Otherwise, forget it.

CO, INC.MEMBERS S.YS.E.by JOHN DOUGHERTY; v Staff WriterDeath by hazing is nothonorable.Eileen Stevens lost her sonChuck Stenzel to a hazing incidentat Alfred University in upstate NewYork. On Feb. 24, 1978, her sonwas given a pint of bourbon, a fifthof wine and six-pack of beer andtold to finish it before he got outof the trunk of the car.The members of Klan Alpinefraternity drove around for 45minutes with three people in eachtrunk. When they stopped the cars,most of the boys were vomiting,Chuck was unconscious. He neverwoke-up.Eileen Stevens addressed thegreek organizations of Marist Collegeon Wednesday April 6. Shegave a speech about the events onthe night her son died.According to Kimberly Richard,THE CIRCLE, APRIL 21,1994hear story of mother's loss to hazingpresident of Kappa Kappa Gamma,hazing has no place in Greeklife. ;..':. -."You could lose a person whocould be an asset to your sororityor fraternity," she said.After being told by Alfred officialsthat her son died from "consumingtoo much alcohol," Stevensdecided she had to find out forherself.Stevens was told by a pathologistthat her son died of acute alcoholpoisoning. His lungs had filled upwith fluid and he drowned, accordingto Bruce Hornbuckle, authorof "Death By Hazing," a reportpublished by Sigma Alpha EpsilonFraternity.The pathologist said when theycut Chuck's body open he couldsmell the alcohol. His body wentinto shock because of his lack ofdrinking experience.Stevens said her son was not aheavy drinker and she had neverseen him abuse alcohol before. Thisis why she was suspicious of the excusethe school gave her about a ,drinking accident and that it was noone's fault.Stevens eventually got a callfrom Stenzel's roommate who wasin the fraternity that he was pledging.His roommate told Stevensabout the trunk incident and shetook over from there.Stevens has been campaigningever since, trying to convincelawmakers and greeks that hazinghas no place in society. Hazing isillegal in 32 states, including NewYork.Richard said Steven's speech waspowerful and moving."It was great how she couldmake a powerful statement out ofa terrible tragedy," she said.Hazing can be in the form ofmental or physical abuse and theeffects of both are damaging.The speech was sponsored byStudent one step closer to goalof becoming professional writerby RON JOHNSONStaff WriterIt was Andrea Murphy's firsttime. She had never before encounteredthis type of experience,but once she tried it she could notgo back."Oh, If only I could live off doingthis," Murphy said.Thanks, to her first publishedpoem she is indeed one step closertoward the ultimate goal of writingprofessionally.Murphy was recently notifiedthat her poem, "Father Time",would appear in a collection ofpoems entitled "A Far Off Place."Publication resulted from Murphy'ssemi-final placement within.a contest sponsored ; by thepublisher. Notification of furtheradvancement or lack thereof is stillpending.Whether she wins the contest ornot, Murphy said the contest aswell as the subsequent publicationhad a major impact on her life."It's very important to me'cause I'd like to keep on writingin the future," Murphy said."Before this, I didn't know I couldbe published."In fact, Murphy said this venturehas inspired her to submit morework to contests and publishers.Driven by this newfound sense ofpurpose Murphy said she nowwrites all the time.However, it takes more thandetermination to be a successfulwriter, it also requires talent.Which according to Tina Tortora,vice president of Reading andWriting Interactions, Murphy hasplenty."She pumps out metaphors likethere's no tomorrow," Tortorasaid, "I'm sure it's not the lastthing she'll have published."Tortora said Murphy's abilitiesextended beyond the mainstreamof college poetry, thus reaching ahigher level."Her poems are really effectivecause most poems of people her ageare just streaming of consciousness,yet she's, got poetrydown pat," Tortora said. .As a' founding member andsecretary for R.A.W. InteractionsMurphy also helps others to gettheir poetry down pat."She is a wonderful person, whoreally gives a lot of herself to people,"Tortora said.Murphy said that her formulafor success, which she passes on toothers, includes many revisions andpersonal reflection."You have to have your ownvoice,"Murphy said. "One greatway to do this is to revise, to besuccinct. It's good to go over itagain and again, until each word isin its proper place."I see what people write andmyself, and you know everyonedraws themes from their life."One theme that Murphy has extractedfrom her life, is the importanceof time. Murphy said timehas become doubly important toher following the death of her. father last year.' "A lot of the poetry I wrote wasabout him," Murphy said.She said her viewpoint of timehas become a bit more complexthan most people."I see time as a constraint likea drug and people are like, addictedto it," Murphy said, "I know, 1 amdefinitely a time junkie."Murphy is quick to note herwork is filled with the influences ofother writers. She states that sheappreciates the style of EmilyDickinson.Sigma Phi Epsilon and the GreekCouncil. In order to participate inGreek week activities new fraternityand sorority members had to attendthe speech by Stevens.Scott Haywood, a member ofTau Kappa Epsilon and GreekCouncil, said new members arewho keep the fraternity alive."You have to evaluate what youare doing," Haywood said. "Newmembers are the life blood of thefraternity." He said it's importantfor the new members to carry onthe un-tarnished tradition ofbrotherhood and they must do thisby example.Members of greek organizationsand Stevens said they find the issueof secrecy of fraternity initiationdifficult to discuss.

There isn't one.This is the best advancement in commencement exercises ever, though.Marist is truly on the cutting edge here.Think about it, remove the time taken to introduce, wait for applause,end the speech, applause again, and you have shortened graduation byat least an hour.What has the Class of 1994 done to deserve a commencement speakeranyway?The class had the audacity to feel slighted when the phone system wasinstalled in the dorms. They were told no phones were part of the"freshman experience." Being a frosh in 1991 is different from beingone in 1990. Apparently they didn't read the memo.They had the unmitigated gall to whine when their parking was takenaway.. Once again, they did not take change well.Somewhere they began to turn it around;The first sparks of enlightenmentcould be seen when they were awarded Class of the Year in 1993.Now, they are ready.Deprived and emaciated of privileges, they welcome the challenge ofbraving commencement without the oh-so-relevant words of a respectedindividual with wisdom to impart.They will suffer stoically through the banal dissertations of those administratorswith whom they have so much in common—namely a MaristCollege parking sticker and perhaps (for those more liberal authorities)a T-shirt with the Marist logo.After all what do seniors really want?. A classy ceremony worthyof the hard work, endless hours and colossal amounts of money theyhave poured into this institution of higher education?Hell no. They want out. It's that simple.While we're economizing on time for the exercises, why even call eachgraduate up individually? Why not just say: "All rise. If you paid yourbills, you can go. If hot, see the business office in Donnelly, then go."That's professional.It's time to thank all the little people who made this possible.Let's have a rousing round of applause for Shaileen Kopec for all thehard work she's put in on this endeavor. Why the Class officers mustbe beside themselves with gratitude for being excluded from this obviouslyarduous process.Of course, she is not alone in this innovative program for graduation.Still her uninformative style should not go without commendation.However, for those seniors who are so obstinate to change and arespoiled enough to hold to the delusion that they want a graduationspeaker, a quick word of advice: call mommy and daddy.We are not mature enough in the eyes of those in charge to participatein the format of our own commencement—you know the one which isgiven in our honor—much less important enough to the proceedings tomerit the occasional update on the non-speaker status.Let the 'rents do the talking. They are the only ones who count athere because they sign the checks. And you thought you weren't a numberat Marist.Wait a second. The Circle is about to revolutionize the new Maristnon-speaker format—make it more elegant if you will.

For the rest ofus, we have three weeks left with anotheryear under our belts.Scott Sullens is one of The Circle'spolitical columnists.Once upon a time, last Saturday night,there was a liberal columnist, aparty and,of course, there was a fight..As I stepped to the balcony to get somefresh air, I was cornered by a Republicanwho didn't have a care.'I know you,' he said with a smile. 'Youwere on that debate. Your behavior quitevile.''That was me,' I said and braced for theworst. 'And whatever you're thinking I can'tbe coerced.'•.'Oh it was fine,' he said with a conservativetone. 'Because I, of course, was supportingAnthony Mignone.'With that the conversation took quite aturn, from SGA elections to social concerns.He tells me the homeless all want to bethere. They're drunk and they're lazy gettingmanya glare.Of those who steal and rob, well there'ssimply no excuse. They should be out working- not drinking up booze.And those on welfare he could go on aboutforever. He'll never feel bad for them. Never.She saidHe goes on and on as I try to cut in. Buthis intent was so that no words of minewould persuade him.The. homeless I told him are not just lazyderelicts. Some are women and some arechildren - many just down oh their luck a bit.And those who steal and rob, well maybeit's not just for fun. Maybe it's becausethey're starving or living on the run.And the welfare system I admit has someflaws. It's not enough reason though, to banthe entire cause.But taxes he won't pay to support theseprograms. They're wasteful and expensive,at least that's how they seem to him.To him, sure, they all seem useless. He'llnever be homeless or on welfare. Middleclass,he'll always be there.At Marist here we often forget. For manyit's our parents who pay the bills and it's ourparents who get the respect.The problems of Marist he then tries to explain.But really Mr. Conservative can onlycomplain.It's too much money and too few chances.Opportunity he wants and it should be his.It's out there I tell him. It's yours for thetaking. Just open your eyes and ears - it'sphone calls you should be making.So the moral of the story (you must haveknown there'd be one): Stop complainingand open your eyes. College is about morethan just fun.Take advantage of opportunities and don'twait for offers.

And itis tragic.However, I do fully reserve theright to laugh at his life; it'ssomething I have been doing fornearly two years now.I reserve the right to laugh at aguy who was handed evety thing inlife (recording career, supermodelwife, beautiful baby girl, money,money, money, fame, fame, fame)and turned to drugs and then threwit all away."But he was a tormented artist,don't you feel for him?"Urn,...No.I've got two tests and threepapers due in the next seven days.You want to talk abouttormented?Also, I am very insulted that thisno talent punk, who should be flippingburgers and asking me whatsauce I'd like with my McNuggets,blows his brains out because life isso damn hard, while you and I arehere at Marist College busting ourasses, drug free, trying to earn agood career and a good life for ourfamilies.THE CIRCLE, VIEWPOINT APRIL 2i, 1994Kurt Cobain should have beenon his knees 24-7 thanking Godthat he knew people in the recordingbusiness four years ago.And while we're on the subjectof music, Dana, if Nirvana neverexisted?Yes, Pearl Jam would bepopular today; yes, Soundgardenwould be popular today.I'll let you in on a secret - Theyhave talent.Nirvana is just a really loud,really bad, high school band withreally good equipment."But they symbolize teen-angst,dude."Oh, great, something new."But Kurt brought back punk,dude."Good, maybe it will follow himto the grave.I do not respect Kurt Cobain.I do not lespect his MTV geaiedpop-punk music.I iespect all of you out there inMarist-land who struggle and toil.AH of you who do not havesupermodel wives but somehowpeisevere.I respect all ol you musicians oncampus who don't try to embodythat cliched "teen-angst," but tryto make good music.I don't respect Kurt Cobain, I pityhim.James Nagurncy, juniorColumnist endorses suicideEditor:Well, well, well, Mr. Buoniconti,it looks like you've earnedyourself yet another letter aboutyour amazing abilities as musiccritic'This time, our subject is KurtCobain.Allow me to start right off bysaying that different people dealwith grief in different ways. Noteveryone feels that wearing a blackarmband is the coiiect way to showyour loss.Some people do joke aboutdeath. If you don't care for thatstyle, fine, but please don't pushyour values on the rest of thiscampus.Just because you feel that suicideis not something to joke about docsnot give you the right to assumethat 1 feel that way as well.Now, about this little conlioversythat you have decided to stir upover Gabe & Jami's show Mondaynight. I have listened to the show(which was taped).Personally, I laughed my waythrough it.Our disc jockeys showed a lotmore piofessionalism than I'veheard from others, both onWMCR and in the "big leagues."Several times they invited opposingviewpoints, and in all cases(save one where the caller felt itnecessary to use an obscenity)allowed people to finish theirthoughts before moving on.In a lot of ways, the show wasnot a simple "Hey, this guy blewhis brains out, let's make fun ofhim" ordeal, despite how youmade it out.Would this show have even havebeen considered had MTV decidednot to (pardon the expression) beata dead horse?Somehow, I doubt it.Had the regular media not allrushed out to say how great of anartist and philosopher Kurt was, wcwould not have needed this show.But WMCR is an alternativemedia. As we arc not licensed bythe Federal Communications Commission,wc are able to offer a viewto the community that no othermedia in Poughkecpsic canprovide.In this case, it meant allowingpeople to say that "Hey, maybeMTV is going a bit overboard."because no one else was offering tohelp that section of the population.Before you say that that is not whatthe show was about, I'd like toquote from the show.• "That's one of the reasons we'redoing this show is we want peopleto be able to get on the air and expresshow they feci and you getboth sides...that's what we want."Several times lami and Gabe saidthat these were just their opinions,and that the station did notnecessarily share those views.While I'm quoting, may 1 remindyou of some things you said?When asked if you were offended,you said "Well, not really..I'mnot offended that you don't care."Your editorial (let's face it. that'swhat it was) doesn't give thatimpression.In your second call, you said that"If you can't appieciate Kurt Cobain'saccomplishments and theperson he was ... then I really don'tthink you can call youtsclves fansof alternative mu&ic."I seem to recall that earlier on inyour career, you were anything buta Nil vana supporter.Dots that mean that you justrecently became a "true" alternativefan? And what make KurtCobain the god of alternative, asidefrom the fact that he's dead?Alternative is more than justfeedback, Dana.How about They Might BeGiants? Ween? The Orb? These are.all alternative bands and just lookwhat Kurt's meteoric rise to the top, has done for them: nothing.One more quote and then I'm" done. "We can relate to Kurt."Oh yes. I'm sure that our entiregeneration can relate to ovcr-' whelming success, drug inducedcomas, and being colled the leaderof a generation.If you want to look up to a drugaddict who felt that killing himselfwas a good idea, go right ahead.But please, don't ask the rest of usto go along.I agree, suicide is a serious problem.However, those who chooseit should not be praised. In so doing,you yourself arc endorsingsuicide. Is that the stance you wantto take?Neil Kelly, juniorAddress diversityEditor: . \I would like to address the •.issue of cultural diversity on the -Marist College campus. • 'I was concerned over several 'comments made in last week'sCircle about how cultural diversityis unnecessary.From the time we took thisland away from the NativeAmericans, the U.S.A. has been -built up of many peoples fromdiffeicnt corners of the world.America has become amelting pot of differentcultures, but let us not forgetwhere we came from.This country gives us thefreedom to experience differentcultures in one place.Just look at" the differentareas of Manhattan alone.Why not take advantage ofthat and learn about other people?I highly recommend thebroadening of cultural diversityat Marist College.I was able to attend thecultural dinner dance the othei. week, and am pleased to saythatit was one of the best eventsI've attended on this campus.I just wish people would bemore open to cultures differentfrom then own.Jennifer Kraus, seniorDJ defenseon CobainEditor:We aie writing in response to thearticle Dana Buoniconti wroteabout us in last week's edition ofThe Circle. . .It was not our intention to insult"music fans" all over the countryor to be unfeeling, unconcernedstudents and disc jockeys.It was purely an act of publicity,which was mentioned numeroustimes o\er the air.We merely wanted morelisteners, and it worked.We in no way regret what wesaid oi did during our show.What we do regret is themisiepresentaiion Mi. Buonicontimade.We have both lost close relationsand neither one of us were rude andunappreciative towards our callers.We were willing to let themspeak their opinions on tne air andthen we would respond.We find it disturbing that peoplegot more upset over this oneradio show of problems that arc alittle more important.Maybe if Kurt Cobain had paidour way through college or foundthe cure for cancer we would havegiven him the praise he deserved,but we personally do not agree withthe act of suicide.Thoiefore, we would like tolthank everyone who listened and)called in to the show. \Gabrieilc Demmu, junior!Jami Fregosi, juniorNOTICE:Letters to the editorare the views ofthe authors only.These are not necessarilythe opinionsof The Circleeditors.Thanks for campus eventsEditor:There have been so many fineevents on campus recently that 1would like to congratulate andthank the people involved.First there was the entertainingSaturday evening of choral singinga few weeks ago.Sincere thanks to Dorothy AnnDavis, faculty, and students for amost relaxing evening.Then there was the exhilaratingand roisterous Taming of theSchrew.Masterful direction by SueLozinski and inspired studentperformances.Hopefully Shakespeare has nowbecome an annual fixture atMarist, following upon last year'sKing Lear and recalling The Miserand A Midsummer Night's Dreamof too many years ago.And just last week we had threevery fine Holocaust RemembranceDays and another heartwarmingChildren's Theatre production, thistime The Glass Slipper, rejoicingthe hearts of thousands ofyoungsters—and their teachers andparents.Thank you, one and all. Keep upthe good work.Bro. Joseph L.R. Belanger, fmsSororities are inclusiveEditor:I'm writing this letter in responseto two things written in the lastissue of The Circle.First is the article on the firstpage about the school denying thesorority Delta Sigma Theta.I personally think it's unfortunatethat this sorority can't bechartered but I strongly disagreewith the statement about blacksand Latinos being left out of greeklife.If there are blacks and andLatinos who feel left out it is bytheir own choice.There are eight very fine greekorganizations on this campus.I happen to be a member of oneof them and I am a Latina.The only reason that some blacksand Latinos don't join greek life isbecause in their eyes they see it as"white". The reason 1 know thisis because when I pledged myfreshmen year 1 was referred bymany as a sell out and an oreo.__,_: Not to mention .other names thatare riotfit to be printed.'I'm sorry but I personally wasoffended and disgusted by the factthat people who didn't even knowme were making judgments on mycharacter all because I pledged a"white" sorority.My response is grow up. I lovemy sisters and I don't ever regretpledging, in fact if I had to do itall over again 1 do it in a second.If accepting people for who theyare and not what they look like, ifjudging people for the content oftheir character and not the color oftheir skin makes me a sell out, thenmake me a big sign because I'llwear it with pride.The second thing 1 want to address,is the letter written by JonP. DeRise.First the only thing he proved inhis letter is how much of afreshmen he really is, because Ihave never read so much ignorancein my life.You believe that not recognizingBlack History Month and HispanicHeritage isn't a great loss?First of all you obviously haveno clue as to the struggles thatblacks and Latinos have had to endure,and still have to endure.I didn't appreciate your littlereference to Dominicans, I'mDominican and last time I checkedI didn't kill a cop nor did anyof my Dominican friends.You came more than close tosounding like a bigot.The first thing you need to do is'"go to' the library and educateyourself, then maybe you can writean intelligent letter to The Circle.A wise person is someone whoknows about many things not justthe things he believes he canunderstand.It is obvious that there are agreat many things you are incapableof understanding.Saggy Rudecindo, juniorLatina and proud memberof Sigma, Sigma, SigmaBlacks and Latinos notexcluded from greek lifeEditor:Recently there has been anumbei of incidents in which thewords diversity and respect ha\ebeen used quite often, however Ibelieve that the April 14 issue ofThe Circle and its article "Cap onclubs in way of proposed sorority"has taken these issues to bothmoronic and ignorant heights.The bottom line is that theschool has neither the moiu-} northe resources to allow more clubsand greek organizations than theones that already exist.That is why a cap exists.When the aiticle quotes that"they are effectively excludingblacks and Latinos from greek lifeon campus", that is simply nottrue.Any member of any minoritycan pledge a greek organization.The quote also fails to mentionthat not only can't minority clubsexist, but the cap also affects anyother possible candidates for newclubs.This is not any case ofdiscrimination against minoritieson campus, but the article sure attemptsto make that case.Another portion of the articleangered me greatly.Afena Cobham says that thesorority that Tara Parker and sheare trying to start at Marist is lookingfor "piedumiiMiitK women ofcolor with a epa of 3.0 oi Ivttei ..etc "If 1 was quoted in The Circle assaying that I was stjriinp a fiaternitywhich was lookin» forpredominate^ white males withblond hair and blue eyes.

Since when did sororitiesbecome honor societies?I was also gieatly offended by anincident which happened as a" resultof Jon P. DeRise's letter to theeditor also in the last issue of TheCircle.The same above-mentioned TaraParker, a mentor at Shcahan Hall,according to Jon called him an unconsciousracist.I believe that if the tables wereturned and Jon had said that toTara, he would have either beenremoved from his dorm or fromMarist all together.Tara wants to help start a sororitywhich Cobham says has "openmindedindividuals, tolerant of allraces, nationalities, and sexes."Maybe there should be a little\practicing of the preaching here, jKen Urben, freshman j
