Since when does the work and -vitality of an entire student body rest on any one leader, president or not.· _It can be generally assumed that our student body has slightly more iniative than what Mr. Brunq assumes. , Finally it is this attitude of "sitting and waiting" and cynicism for . those who are not "sitting and waiting" that is particularly aggravating.

The case against the clamorous utopian. dissenters who seek to negate the present · system by means of an upheaval, represents the f~elings of what I may term as : "progressive conservative." There is evil in he world. The presence of evil accounts for the great amount of frustration encountered by idealists of all types. Revolutionaries and mass • movements have faith in the mfallibility of their cause to overcome some particular evil. , However, I have yet to see the synthesis of any revolution being a utopia. I also resign myself to . the fact that revolution and the violence of the impatient and frustrated chiliastic dissenters is a wide spread appearance in ·history. In fact, the dissenters need not be articulate philosophers ·against the status quo but simply tired and fed-up human beings who will grab what they can as soon as the opportunity presents itself. This is because they may never see the opportunity again in their lifetime. "Why be patient and wait only to let the next generation reap the fruits of change?" America has not been free of the turbulent internal protest against its system. Yet, violent · protests and revolutions often produce only a pittance of what they promise .. The American Civil War is a frightening example of the turmoil of by Vincent Buonora internal. disintegration, anarchy and lawlessness. The results were chaos, destruction and •.ruthlessness typified by the Reconstruction Era. The Civil· War marked the incipient debilitation and eventual demise of the system of the Old ·south. However, evils still persisted and new ones appeared. Eric Hoffer epitomized the salient characteristic of the revolutionary generation as "impatience." This is why we have provoked revolutions. It is quite_ unrealistic, possibly overdemanding, to expect everyone to "utilize the methods of a system which allow for constructive change," as it is to say, "Let's everyone think this way," or "Let's all do it like this," or "Let's all be the same." We live in a world of diverse perspectives, of individuals. It has been a frequent occurrence in history that this diversity brings about a confrontation, which may be violent, between the different individuals, nations, ideologies, etc ... struggling for self-actualization. It may seem that I am approaching Social Darwinism in my thinking - well, I guess you Jl'!aY call it that. Even the Christian pacifist must expect this confrontation; if he does not, he will be living in a very unreal fantasy of his imagination. It even says in the New Testament, "The kingdom of heaven· suffers violence.'. It would be ideal, comfortable, possibly utopian to have things "evolve relatively peacefully." However, history has shown that this may be another form of utopian SJ)ecu~ation.

GINNITY DO NOT PATROL ... THIS IS THE WAY IT SEEMS." •• And so ended my last column. By the looks of things, it was very successful: granted, some people were shaken up, (a lot of frosh learned a new. word), and I .was informed that two men in grey sutis are on the lo~kout for me, (ANONIMITY, PLEASE!!). But despite those things people are talking about the situation, discussions are taking place, and. I hear tell there will be a coloquium soon. This is better than "The·sounds. of Silence",_right? • There are a few things that must be.clarified from the last column. Point No. 1- The Junior feds referred to are not proctors, but people paid by the government, (county, state, orfederal), who inform on student smokers. They are here. The administration does not condone their activities. The. question put to them by yours truly was siinply, "Why are you doing this?" Point No. 2- There was no intimidation of any or all of the proctors. I just ask them to realize the lives they are dealing with. How can anyone assume the responsibility of h.urting a person's life if he doesn't · know that life? Know the people on your floor. Be a person, don't be a position. Point No. 3 - To all pot smokers:. a responsibility. Realize the fears that Ji9n~smokers have. Some are afraid that, in the event of a bust, you'll throw a joint under their door. Also, realize that if there is a .bust, and if there's so much as a roach on your floor, you and any visitor will be hauled in. Parties in the dorm are a BIG chance - for everyone. Use your HEAD! • Point No. 4.- . Will the administration please be open to the situation. As I said, most smokers are only doing a temporary thing: most aren't sick dope addicts. After your realization of this, we expect a little more than a quote in the Arrow. • ·In conclusion I would like to say that I hope that all of you out there who know me will keep your mouth· shut if two guys in grey suits should ask, "EXACTL.Y WHO IS THE IFMAN?" • The rar Left 'does not discuss on the same plateau or with the same perspective of the conservative; they are fed-up, disgusted, despairing of the present and almost totally uncompromising. Their quixotic idealism prevents them from tolerating evil in he world. In the presence of a reality with its omnipresent evils of suffering and death, idealists run straight into a brick wall of just as uncompromising, unbending, c.oli:,. and cruel world. They are the impatient ones, the true believers who will throw their temper tantrums of revolution as soon· as they get their chance. They may find themselves as complete misfits in society and consequently they despair. Maybe they will drop out of the system with the hope of establishing a new utopia on a new frontier. I sympathize with them in their desire for change. But, as long as people continue with such lofty dreams, they will be very frustrated. Idealism is something.anyone can create in his imagination. Unfortunately, the idealism of many is fruitless; they lack initiative and a realistic approach to the true-life situation and consequently have no tangible effect in remediating problems. People are suffering and frustrated but not as much as those who are told to "wait patiently for the completion of the natural process of change." This takes time! Someone told me, "Time is man's biggest hang-up.'' I think he has a point. by Joe Thorsen As shots rang out from the fifth floor of a book deposit~ry_jn Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963, the United-States lost its thirty-fifth President, Johri Fitzgerald Kennedy.

Were these acts by individuals of unbalanced and deranged minds or did they refle<;t the inherent sickness in our great society?

Outstanding, however, is the f_eeling that if we let racism and fear dominate our political thinking little can be done to emedy the present situation. In looking inside the contemporaries of John and Bob Kennedy and Martin Luther King, it seems their loss leaves a vacuum in political leadership. Lyndon· Johnson bravely followed the bold Civil Rights program outlined by John Kenne<ly as witnessed by the Civil Rights Act of 1964, though the vital economic funds needed to implement effective reform were diverted to an unnecessary war. The Rev. Ralph Abernathy, present director of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, is valiantly carrying on the work of the late Dr. King. Yet he lacks King's savoir faire in uniting the factional militant and moderate groups of his party. He probably faces more di~sent in t!1e ranks than when King began, but so far has had trouble m assummg the legacy of dynamism that King left behind. Ultimate success requires forceful leaders of intelligence and courage to confront the issues. Precious time is drifting away. The magnetism I saw in Bobby Kennedy's eyes can't ~e found anywhere today. Perhaps an era of political leadership has gone with the wind, witness the candidates in the Presidential election. The American public armed by television networks and informative magazines must find new faces to conquer the insurmountable injustices which plague us. It must carry the torches which were distinguished by assassin's bullets if it wishes to retain any respect by America's thinking generation for its authority. Open a New.Window A FOGGY VIEW I • am beginning to wonder whether or not I'll ever see the sun again. It seems that the English sun is '\'.ery self-conscious; if it happens to come out, you ignore its presence. The minute you say, "There's the sun!", it retreats never to be seen again. So that the lack of sun doesn't get you down, you have to turn to a more positive way of thinking, e.g. - "Aren't the clouds nice today" or "Boy, it's raining again.'' It really helps to lie a little: Oxford, where buildings are considered new if they were built any time after 1750, has a psychological thing, about it. You can take a walk around the city, visiting the various colleges (nobody really knows how many there are) with a briskness in your walk, but after a while your feet start dragging and you start to feel older. You look at the 12th century buildings and you almost feel as· old as they do. When the sun is out the city has a completely different look, but that's when the sun is out, a rare English phenomenon. Its an amazing city though; it gives a person a great sense of inferiority. Just a glance at the people who have been at Oxford puts a person in his place - some of the more familiar: Albert Einstein, William Golding, J. R.R. Tolkien, T. E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia), Cardinal Wolsey, Jean Paul Marat, Thomas Hobbes and Lewis Carroll to name just a few. Lewis Carroll taught Math in Oxford and modelled his "Alice in Wonderland" after curate's daughter of Christ Church. Alice's shop, which is mentioned in he book, is still open for business. American adjustment to the Oxford way of life is pretty difficult. The first problem is the language barrier; its confusing when Englishmen and Americans are speaking the same language, but not understanding each other. Say, for example, an American went to a store with the following imaginary list: by Vim:en~ ~eg\ey candy, cookies, napkins, potato chips, french fries, and thumbtacks. He would come home, with absolutely nothing, unless the store had dealings with Americans. His list should have read: sweets or chocolates, biscuits, servierettes, crispo, chips, and drawing pins. More confusion - when an Englishman talks about a private school, he really means its open to the public; a public school is a private institution. That's why they say they speak English and we speak American. Money conversion is a problem in itself, but English slang makes it worse. An American can go to a store feeling confident he understands the pound and the shilling, but sometimes it's not that easy. An oblect might cost one pound three shillings and three pence (American conversion - $2.79). You bravely walk up to the cashier with the anticipation of what to pay, when all of a sudden she says - "One quid, three bob and three penny.'' (Back to the Berlitz School of language.) The money system may be a Continued on page 6 Oriel Street, Oxford. Many historic buildings are to be seen in the streets of Oxford, and in the Oriel Street there are those of Oriel College, one of the oldest English Colleges which was rebuilt in Stuart times.

' The great .pink angel of Strasbourg standing between the Vosgcs and the Rhine, • contains many mysteries in his book and things that are not told • to the child who raises his eyes with good will towards his giant brother." The poem continues, written by Claude! at a time when he had found· his faith. religious and personal. The Cathedral, itself seems to breathe his faith on this city with the sheer pink immensity of stone . . From Cronenbourg, at night, looking over the_ monotony of the crosses in the military cemetery, you can see to the· south from this faubourg the light that always shines there. From the south, coming from Neudorf as you enter onto Place de la Bourse on a clear day the Cathedral-stands very impressively, powerful& very tall.There is nothing taller in Strasbourg than the Cathedral which you know is just a few streets away. But you feel it. The streets crowd closer as you walk to the Cathedral. It does not r-~st iri a giant square.

Today this could not be done. Souvenir shops, cafes, and restaurants have developed a lively business very close to the base. . The facade is high and decorated with intricate tracery with the tower passing from the left. There are the Wisc Virgins and the Foolish Virgins near the entrance which gives the Cathedral a touch of local legend The interior is dark and brooding and cold also, during the winter. One can light on important parts· of the Cathedral, such a.s the tower of angels and the Horloge Astronomique (astrononiical clock) by putting one franc in a coin machine. Walking down the main nave, particularly on a grey day, one can see the vibrant colours of the medium size stained-glass window,enhance<! by the darkness that ~urrounds it, behind the main altar depicting the Ascension of Mary mto heaven. On both sides of the aisle are two tiers of windows illustrating no less than 150 biblical stories. German • Bazin, Conscrvateur-en-Chef at the Louvre has said in his History of Art that a cathedral contains the history of the world. • Turning about half-way down the aisle you see the huge Rosette stained-glass window in the rear of th_e church,' it contains deep resonant purples that are more enhanced by less light.

Wind permeating the trees, T~c Cathedr~l means m~ch to the resident of Strasbourg.

They wer~ shouting, "They are trying to • destroy the Cathedral! They are going ·to bomb it!" By chan·ce; the Cathedral was not harmed. Today the Cathedral is a victim of what once could call the "sickness of the rock". It, was finished near the end of the f~~rteenth ··century and now the rock on the tower is starting to d1smtegrate and fall apart due to erosion. Architects, last summer erec!ed scaffolding to protect the tower till they decide on a way to repair the damage already done and prevent further breakages. It is hoped they solve the problem.

ITEM: Hockey enthusiasts fail in first try. A plan to inaugurate ice hockey into the ever expanding athletic program here at Marist U. suffered a setback at the hands of our Athletic Czar. A proposed plan to flood the lower soccer field and let it freeze was vetoed by our favorite gym teacher, but hopes for intra-mural hockey are still (maybe) alive. What could be the reason for the veto? Maybe by flooding the lower field some of the rocks would drown. How about our Esther Williams Olympic pool - maybe this could be used for hockey. I doubt it - rumor has it that Andy's gang is getting the pool in shape for scuba - diving intra murals in the spring. ITEM: Rip Van Winkle is alive and dozing through another day of Marist classes. What, fellow scholars, do the majority of classes at the ol' U. have in common? No, not swinging seminar sessions, but that's close. The truth is that th~ common denominator in many classes is· dullness. Who is responsible for our tedious adventures into non-knowledge; is it the teachers or the students? Looking at it from one point of view, we can say that the only thing exciting about some of the faculty are their nicknames. (Mr. Excitement, Sneezy, Tom Terrific, Mr. Moto, the Shadow, Rumplcstilskin, and the Blob; just to name a few -- these are fictional examples of • course.) But on the other hand, we can also say that for most students the thirst for knowledge is somewhat overshadowed by another thirst. All in all this problem makes Moth, outside the classroom and in, Rack City, U.S.A. ITEM: Cleaning ladies make guest appearances.

(Are the damsels on strike, or a work slowdown? Oh come now.) In closing I would like to relate another chapter in the battle between Mothmen and the automat of Poughkeepsie - Vicki's. The other night a starving and, I'm sure, per. •• ;s student bolted out of V1cK1's after downing a delicious cottage cheese sandwich (the specialty) to the utter dismay of Mr. Vicki. Mr. Vicki, thinking all the time, yelled "a free meal to the man who catches that whippersnapper", whereupon three noble Mothmen took up the challenge and raced after the scoundrel. Mr. Vicki's face brightened as he saw the three do-gooders gain on the fugitive but he soon became bewildered whe.n the three pursuers passed the fleeing rogue and all four disappeared into the night leaving nothing behind but their dirty dishes. COMING NEXT WEEK: A profile of the ski slope. serious faculty and student use, will enhance the learning experience and is not intended to depersonalize the student-teacher relationship but will effectively supplement existing instructional techniques. The potential of the system staggers even the technically oriented imagination. For example, the instructor can prepare a lecture on tape with informal discussion with students, insert relevent slides or 16 mm film within the tape itself. He can even go into the field and video-tape a "location" sequence with remote equipment, return to the main studio and ''.dub" in the field trip with his prepared •. taped . lecture. He can interview guests directly on tape or dub in guest lectures from 16 mm film to the video tape for preservation in a video tape library to. be established in the center. The remote camera can catch sports events for playback at high or low speeds. Teacher Education observers can go over classroom techniques with the student teacher. Social and cultural events can be preserved on video tape. Outstanding t eleveision documentaries and drama from commercial and educational channels can be taped while __ they are being transmitted:-" Tape exchanges with ·other schools and use of the New York State Video Library can be utilized. Next year, it is hoped programs can be "piped" to any major building on campus. This means that the transmission of live or taped productions can be done through two private channels wherever there is a receiving set whether it be in a classroom Conference room, or even to a dormitory room. The final state involves production originating from Marist for use by other individual or on a network of other colleges.· Work is already going on for the establishment of TV broadcast curricula in other area colleges. Television especially educational TV, is a growing field that desperately needs college trained producers, directors,· and writers. The Communications .. course at Marist will test theOfies in the Marist TV Center af>!ilart of it's second semester plaq:f No longer limited t~use in the sciences, closed circuit television has embraced all areas of higher education. The Marist 'rV Center has been painstakingly planned and installed without· fanfare. But it's there . and it's development will depend on all ,of us. One thing is certain, the fulfillment of the potential of television will revolutionalize the education process everywhere. .. , ,, .... ; _, ......... - <.•: PAGE 6_ • Speaker .

From Vassar he received aid in designing the girls room, at New Paltz a Fraternity contracted to do some work in order to raise money for their activities (booze). The only dub or group at Marist that are so desperate for bread that they would do almost anything, agreed to work. For three Saturday mornings starting at eight-thirty in October and November more than forty different students (?) volunteered to work all day for C.A.P. The jobs done were numerous; fixing a washed out road, painting ceilings and houses, cutting down trees, knocking down ceilings and walls, ripping up floors, cleaning out the barn, etc. The· pay was meager but C.A.P. was promised the profits from a beer blast at "The Creamery". We hope everyone shows up. All are welcome. Mr. Bennett does not approve of the use of discotheque as a title for his Creamery. He has said that it will have manv more features and a different. atmosphere than other joints. It has the appearance of a German beer hall with shields, coats of arms and seals, many from the local colleges, used as ornaments. The Creamery has two levels; the lower is a huge ratskeller and the equivalence of a ski resort is found upstairs, containing a circular fireplace in the center of the room. The Creamery should present one of the finest spots • to spend your time when it opens. The manager has even hinted at having a bus to make it easier to get there. Only college students will be admitted. The Christian Appalachian Project at Marist would like to thank all those following, for their time and effort. Dave King, Brendan Mooney, Terrence Mooney, Jim Daly, Bob Seibert, Glenn Lehman, Bob Morley, Neal Fenton, Jerry Eiseuman, Joe McDermott, Jerry Burns, Bill Deucher, Wayne Rohde, Pat Cherry, Rico, Paul Browne, Tony Vacca'relli, Kevin O'Brien,Chuck Bosco, Ezio Pringali, Kevin Doherty, Dennis Alwon, his roomate, Joe DeTura, John Glennon, Bob Volk, Matt Grady, and many many more who helped us so much.

The race featured many outstanding runners, a few of whom, I'm sure, got more than just a look-see from the X-country team ... the most ~olorful group of participants in the race was the team of Gary Sullivan, Rick Cordus, Randy Graeff, and Joe Grogan. They highlighted the race in many ways: I) their mod running attire; 2) stopping at Frank's halfway thru the fust lap to recharge; 3) stopping and posing for both team and individual pictures throughout the race; and 4) their finishing as a team, in last place ... Jim Morrison, who actually held the lead for the first ten - feet, surprised everyone by lasting well over 200 yards; until he stopped to light up another weed ... TOPIC - Buckets The Basketball team, contrary to past years; is generating much enthusiasm among campus yokels. It's amazing what a good team will do for a school. : .Perhaps the main strength of this year's squad is its rebounding ability.

Indoor Track-a new frontier For the first time at Marist, Indoor track meets· have been scheduled, in order to help fill the gap between the Cross - Country and Outdoor Track. The first four dates on the schedule are practice m~~ts, in that they are for the runners' personal benefit, and no team competition is scored. However, the competition _is first class: over • 1000 runners, including such standouts as Byron Dyce ~ N.Y.U., Steve Stageberg - Georgetown, Brian Kivlan - Manhattan, Charlie Mays - Grand St. Boys Club, Julio Meade - Kansas, and Barry Brown - New York A.C., just to mention a few. These meets are sponsored Sailors Salvage Success·ful Season With the running of the annual \ Frost-bite regatta, the fall sailing season drew to a close last week-end. Marist faced tough competition from {l.P.l., S.U.N.Y. at Albany, N.Y. Maritime Academy and Iona. The water was cold, the air biting, but the wind had left something to be desired. Marist was off to a good start placing first in the opeing race but then they seemed to drift from their initial victory. At the close of the first day Ken Quinn and Pete Hultzer had Marist in second place to R.P.I. Sunday, the second day of racing saw the dqwnfall of our sailors. Very light winds and strong tides crippled the contestants greatly along with these .Qrevailing conditions, experienced and a little luck aided S.U.N.Y. and Maritime to by pass Marist. At the days end the standing were; R.P.I. 51, Maritime - 49, S.U.N.Y. - 47, Marist - 44, Iona - 5. Ken Quinn and Art Jung capturing two first places to come within one point of forcing a runoff with S.U.N. Y.A. Cooper Union, Union and Queens finished respectively with a nice display of sailing. The sailors finished the fall season with a 9-9 slate; it was a very tough· season, with the skippers and crews putting in a tremendous effort to compensate for their inexperience. Mr. Remenicky said that he was "deeply gratified by the enthusiasm shown by the sailors" and is looking forward to a much better spring season. As with all teams there always are those people who operate behind the scene to build the morale, warm the spirit, and to fill the void of hunger of the Marist sailors. Impressed into the service was our own Nancy Johnson and friends Mary Anne Gorey, Anne Moser, and Donna Meier. This year the team fared well _____________ _ even with the loss of the experienced skippers by eith'er by the Met. Assn. A.A.U. and are held at the 168 St. Armory on Dec. 7, 13, and 21, and on Jan. S. Marist will have eleven runners entered in'. these meets: Greg Howe, Bill Kalish,- Joe McMahon, Steve Kopki, Phil Cappio, Bob Mayerhofer, Mike Bell, Jerry Wildner, . Tom Mahoney, Charlie Busterna and Tom Mccutchen. For the remainder of January, no meets are planned. Then, in February, the action picks up again. In the early part of the month, there is an invitational collegiate meet at Albany. On Feb. 22, Marist is pitted against Queens College in a dual meet on Queen's indoor track. There are also tentative plans for a dual meet with either Jersey City State or Montclair State at the New Jersey Armory. Aside from these races, it is hopeful that Marist will be able to enter its best relay in either the New.York K. of C. meet, the Federation meet, or the Millrose Games, all of which arc held at the new Madison Square Garden. Since there is no board track on campus yet, the runners will be training at neighboring tracks such as at .Lourdes High School, or possibly New Paltz College, when the weather is good. Unfortunately, the winter sometimes brings snow, and then it will be back to the roads for distance, and the lower parking lot for sprints .. ___________________________ • transfers or graduation. Mr. FACULTY PLENARY These indoor meets are for the benefit of the runners themselves - Track is a year round sport - and an indoor season is the necessary springboard to a more productive outdoor season. The added continuity to the program is a vital step, and will mean a lot, not only for this year, but for many Marist teams to come.

Shooting only 29% from the floor at the half, Marist looked sluggish and just not up to if when it came to the · fast break. The rebounds were coming fast and furious,. but so were the bad passes and every other kind of. turnover. Ten times the ballplayers gave the ball away to Bloomfield. To make matters worse, Bloomfield was deadly from the floor, hitting over fifty per cent of its shots. As the half approached, the Foxes spurted to take the lead, but a last ditch shot by a • Bloomfield guard pushed their total to 34 and the teams went to the dressing rooms deadlocked. • When the action resumed, Marist scored first but Bloomfield retaliated with a bucket of their own, and, for the most part, that is the way the second half went.
