Lecturer
Discusses
Frederick
Baron Coruo
The first
in a. series
of seven
lec-
tures·
featuring
prominent
people
in
their
respective
fields
began
Friday
evening
in the college
gymnasiwn.
The
guest
speaker
for the initial
lecture
was
Eilis
Dillon,
who is widely known in her,
native
Irel1µ1d.
She
has
lectured
and
broadcasted
frequently
in Ireland,
re-
ceiving
rave notides
in the Irish
press,
but this
id her first
visit
to the United
States.
Miss
Dillon usually
lectures
on
literary
subjacts
and also to the country
groups on the art of public
speaking.
She
is also
the author
of a n1Dnber of books,
among
them being
·
The House on the
Shore and The Island of Horses.
In pri-
·,ate
life,
Eilis
Dillon is Mrs. Corma c
O'Cuilleanain.
Her husband
is a liter-
ature
professor
at University
College,
Cork.
The subject
of
Miss
Dillon's
lecture
was "Frederick
Baron
Co2·vo".
This ex-
/traordinary
Englishman,
a genius
oflate
Victorian
age, fell in love with the color
and pageantry
of the
Catholic
Chhrcl·
and made several
unsuccessful
attempts
to become
a priest.
Instead,
lie made a
close
s·tudy of life
in Medieval
times
and included
in his writings
are detailed
descriptions
of ceremonies
of tbat age.
Baron
Corvo•s
final
migration
to Italy,
and his tragic
death there make
a story
as romantic
as he himself
would
have
loved.
This
.trend
toward
increased
enroll-
ment
.is
expected
to continue,
provided
that the college
can still furnish
its stu-
dents with an education
in the best tradi-
tions of the Marist
Order.
It is tenta-
tively planned
that the Day Division
en-
rollment
should
reach
·soo
students
at
full capacity.

order
to accommodate
the
addi-
tional

in the size
of th~

THE RECORD
The
RE-CO;RD
Preface:
The Year
One
In an important
sense,
this is "the year one" for The Re-
cord,
Last year's
journal
did not attempt,
as this editiondoes,
to establish.itself
as a structural
and contextual
basis--a
van-
guard--for
succeeding
issues
and continuing
volwnes.
Last
year's
work was not an end in itself;
its consuming
purpose
was
to engender
a publication
worthy
of Marist
College.
The Record
w_e fee!•
is ;;. partial
'fulfillment
of that hope; it, howe~
recog:
n1zes its own measure
of transience,
and too strives
for its
founders
now somewhat
nearer
goal,
.
Changes,
or better,
innovations,
are everywhere
apparent.
Offset
printing
has replaced
mimeographing;
half tone reproduc-
.
tion,
photography,
and
·a
two -color
masthead
are all new.
Adver _
tising
has arrived,
and an all-out
campaign
is planned
for this
fall.
Likewise,
a-definite
four-page
format
has been established
and expansion
to eight pages
·could become
a reality
before
the
school
year
is ended.
The Record,
succeeding
Reynard's
Record,
the creation
of
two ~eniors,
Charles
Counsil
and James
Coombs,
owes a debt of
gratitude
that can only slightly
be repaid
by mention.
The staff
o~ last year's
paper,
which literally
labored
into the early mor-
ning hours
to meet their
schedule,
insured
the continuing
exis-
tence
of the paper,
Mr.
George
Sommer
and Brother
Corne-
lius Russell,
faculty
advisors
last year and this year,
respecti-
vely,
have given much of their
time in furthering
the paper's
in-
terests,
mostly
financial,
with the Administration,
The Adminis-
tration
itself,
in supporting
the paper,
has encouraged
it in its
efforts.
The final appearance
of the paper
is the result
of many out-
side. contributions.
Mrs,
E, Rimai

made invaluable
sug-
g_estions ~or maflthead

Perhaps
the most

_
and cer-
tainly
the most

is· the work done by the Marist

Brother
Tarcissius,
in printing

type of col-

is being

Each

I will be around

questions
concerning
anything

the

Crew.
Fa II
Begins
Workouts
This
fall· the campus
is filled
with
the usual
sport
talk,
but there
is
one
major
exception.
One of the main topics
is crew.
A sport
generally
considered
reservedfor
the spring
has aroused
new
interest
with the introduction,
by Coach
Catanzaro,
of fall practice.
The interest
stems
from two sources,
the purchase
of a new
shell
and last
year's
fine
showing.
Mr.
Catanzaro
feels that this i,; the year
that
will de-
velop crew into a major
sport
on cam-
pus.
And
the
turnout
of
candidates
seems
to bear
this out.
Of last
year's
crew
only
Tom Erts
is missing.
This leaves
a nucleus
of
experienced
men to work
with,
Stroke
Ken Knapp
is back
at that position
this
year.
Tony Campilli,
Walt Herbst,
Ed
DiSanto,
Jim Callahan
and Stan Waryas
have all shown great
promise
and impro-
vement
over last year,
A combination
of this talent
with the
new recruits
is definitely
encouraging.
Among these
new men there
are
several
with
prior
rowing
experience,
either
high
school
or college.
Jim Daley,
a
transfer
student
from
Columbia,
where
he rowed in the first
freshmen
boat,
is
a great
asset.
Ray
Labiberte,
Bob
Mead,
Mike
Chiriatti,
Frank
Lloyd
and Ray Baratta
all have
rowed
in high
school under
Mr,
Catanzaro,
Other
freshmen
who have turned
out
are: Pat Moynihan,
John Parpora,
James

Ron

Tony

and

of return-
ing varsity
coxswain
Gary
Smith.
Jack
Dworak,
a transfer
student,
has taken
over as field manager
and Phil Bruno
is
handling
the paper
work of the crew.
Gary
Smith
and Stan
Waryas
have
been extremely
helpful
to Coach
Catan-
zaro in
working
witli the new recruits,
Weather
conditions
in this
area
make
spring
workouts
limited
to a short
time
before
the first
race,
The fall practice
allows
the coach to teach the fundamen-
tals to the crew and thus in the spring
a
more
intensive
training
program
on the
finer points of rowing
can be carried
out.

THE RECORD
Frosh Hazing:
A Reuiew
by DANIEL
VERRICO
& JOHN CAREY
On September
18,
1961,
the hazing
program
for
the
class
of 1965 began,
The freshmen
were not only required
to
memorize
the purposes
of the organiza-
tions
of the school,
but also,
upon re-
quest of a sophomore,
had to recite
the
"Frosh"
pledge;
1am a lowly frosh.,.,
During
the week many of the fresh-
men
were
called
upon to paint the ,wall
outside
the college.
On Saturday,
Sept,
23rd,
a dance
was held
to signify
the
close
of hazing,
These
are the external
factors;
but after
all is said and done,
the question
of what hazing
really
is and
what it accomplished
remains,
Hazing,
as we planned
it, was a per-
iod of unification
of the freshman
class,
recognition
of Marist
College,
respect
for
and
from
the upperclassmen,
and
fun for all who participated
wholehear-
tedly,
The unification
of the class
was
brought
about by the painting
of the college
wall,
Yes,
many
were
filled
with paint
up to their necks,
but each group marched
to and from
the job, for Marist
and for
their
class,
When the freshmen
complied
with the
rules
of hazing,
they helped
the forma-
tion of a tradition
in the name of Marist
College,
and we are sure that any fresh-
man
who
was
pulling
the
sophomores
through
the mud,
or scrambling
for
a
pencil
to gwfthat
girl's
address
has
no
question
in his mind as to the furn le had
during
hazing
week,
How
did the
freshmen
feel
about
hazing?
Here
are
a few
views
from
"hazed"
freshmen.
Edward
Moetzinger:
Thehazingprogram
helped to bring me to a better
under stan-
ding of,. as well as a unification
with,
my fellow
classmen
of 1965,
and those
of theclass
of
'64,
Greg Tucci:
The hazing
program,
in my
opunon,
made
most
of the
freshmen
feel at home,
and brought
a lot of laughs
for all those
concerned.
John O'Neill:
I appreciated
the hazing
program
for two reasons,
One was be-
cause
it was a lot of laughs,
and thereby
eased
most
of the tensions
of the first
week at school,
and secondly,
it enabled
the
freshmen
to
make
acquaintances
with many
of the
upperclassmen
in a
relatively
short
period
of time.
Should
hazing
be
continued?
We
think
that
hazung
manifests
the spirit
and tradition
of Marist
College,
How-
ever,
as in every
program
there
must
be a controlling
factor.
U the program
continues
to be built
upon by those
who
accept
its
responsibilities
( complying
with the administration
and Student
Coun-
cil),
we are sure that hazing,
and Mar-
ist College,
can be made to benefit
all
who are involved
in
it.

Nilus Discusses
i n A r c h i t e ct u re"
Last Monday,
October
3rd,
Brother
Nilus
Donnelly,
widely
known
for
his
work
in designing
and constructing
the
group
of modern
buildings
on campus,
gave· some of his opinions
and observa-
tions on modern
art and ari:;hitecture
in
the first
of the Literary
Club-sponsored
Faculty
Lecture
Series,
Many in the large
audience
were
in-
troduced
for the first
time
to Brother
Nilus'
mildly
sardonic
wit when
he
uttered
statements
like:
"There
is many
an intelligent
man
who has never
been
guilty of an aesthetic
emotion".
He went
on to review,
in a few succinct
phrases,
the merits
of some of his more
notable
contemporaries,
Concerning
Edward
Stone,
he said "he is beginning
to
make
a mess
of his profession
by putting
up
grillworkin
front of his buildings";Mies
van der Rohe manages
to design
the most
expensive
buildings
using
his
principle
of 'the less,
the more"';
"Frank
Lloyd
Wright
made
many
mistakes--the
Gug-
genheim
Musetun
was one of them--but
he had the virtue
of never
imitating
him -
self";
"Gaudi
was a unique
architect";
and finally,
Le Corbusier's
montunental
monastery
"looks like a whale sitting
up
on top of a hill; a whale
looks
beautiful,
but nobody
likes
to see one
sitting
on
top of a hill, " It is interesting
to observe,
knowing
Brother
Nilus'
extensive
use
of
concrete
in construction,
that he made
no mention
of Pier
Luigi
Nervi,
Italy's
master
architect
in the ferro-concrete
medium,
The Faculty
Lecture
Series
will
con-
tinue throughout
the year,
and instruc-
·tors
will be brought
in from

campuses
of the
college
to speak
on
t_opics of their
special
interests,

One other
physical
aspect
of the expan-
sion is in the increased
size and number
of the parking
lots.
Intellectual
expansion
has not failed
to keep pace
with
the
physical,
Nine
professors
have
been
added
to the
fa-
culty;
a new library
is
in
the process
of
completion;
and two more
major
fields
of study
have
been
added
to the nearly
completed
liberal
arts
curriculum,
The
two new fields
are
Teacher
Certifica-
tion and Business
Administration,
To prepare
for
the future
Marist
College
is fast completing
its metamor-
phosis,
More classrooms
and new dor-
mitories
are in the process
of construc-
tion,
Increased
enrollment
has
also-
brought
with it a large
host of extra-
curricular
activities.
This year
a glee
club has joined
the many campus
clubs,
along
with
weightlifting
and plans
for
tennis,
gol~ etc. All these aspects
con-
tribute
to the molding
of the
college's
future,
and to a large
and more
varied
educational
and cultural
background
for
the men of Marist
College.
