October
15, an open

The event
was sponsored
by the Student
Council
of
_the
Evening• Division
School
under
the
chairmanship
of
Mr.

~o
acquaint

The event was held on a very in-
formal
basis;
visito£"s were
invited
to
walk
about
at their_ leisure,
inspecting
the various
buildings.
Questions
concerning
any area
of
education
were
answered
by
a
panel
composed
of teachers
from
the various
deparbnents
of study.
Proving
most
popular
on the visi-

were
the various
labora-·

?
Several
weeks ago the Student
Council
approved
the idea of a
semi-formal
dance,
to be held in··the new Spellman.Library
after
construction
is completed,
but before
the books are moved
in from
Greystone,
This plan restricted
the Council
to choosing
Novem-
ber 18th as the date of the dance,
a scant
six weeks from idea to
Prom
night.
The pressure
of a tight time schedule
was further
intensified
by
throwing
sponsorship
of the affair
open to the highest
bidder.
Only
the junior
class,
and two unrecognized
{by the Student
Council)
or -
ganizations,
The Varsity
Club and the Booster
Club,
responded
to
this in,ritation.
To make their bidding
idea sensible,
they had to
recognize
these
groups
pronto.
To do this,
they
had to shut their
.
eyes momentarily
to the sacred
Robert's
Rules of Order
(Revised),'
which says somewhere,
that
in
any meeting,
old
business
(bids)
comes
before
new business
(granting
of charters).
In any event,
three
bids were presented
to the Council
on October
11th, five
minutes
after
two new campus
organizations
had been granted
their
provisional
charters,
Immedi.ately
prior
to this time,
however,
the Council
had chosen
to shut its eyes to its own Con.stitution,
which
·state
s
that its Corre -
sponging
Secretary
shall be "elected
by the .•. senior,
junior,
and
sophomore
classes
from
among the members
of the.,.
sophomore
class".
To
fill
the vacancy
of the post by Joseph
Hattley,
an elec-
tion,
conformirig
to the Constitution,
was announced,
and Walter
.
Herbst,
a most deserving
.and
capable
man,
expressed
his inten-
.
tions o~ running
£or the office.
The Council,
assuming
that no one
else
.wanted
the job, decided. to appoint
Mr.
Herbst
on the spot.
_Now
all of this would have been disregarded,
except
that the
junior
cla,ss didn't obtail)- th.e prom bid, because
Mr.
Herbst,
newly
appointed
co.uncil member,
voted for the Booster-.Club's
entry.
Now,
self-interest
being the powerful
force
that it is, the juniors
wer~
drawn into a state of
wrathful
anger,
and a protest
was lodged last
Friday
in an extraordinary
session
of the Student
Council,
in which
it was given an opportunity
to judge the legality
of its own actions.
After protracted
quibbling
over the admissibility
of -:...rite -in
·ballots,
virtually
ignoring
at the same time the fact that Mr.
Herbst
simply
was not elected
by the members
of°the senior,
junior,
and sopho-
more
classes,·
the Student
Council,
for reasons
that could not have
been clear
to itself,
decides
to.censure-its
action by a 3-2 vote,
To remove
any remaining
doubts in this whole affair,
it reas-
serted
its
·selection
of the prom· b_id of the Bo6ster
Club,
and dis -
miss_ed any fear of its own inability
to serve
as exemplar
for all
student
organizations.
The ·troubles
of the Student
~ouncil
extend beyond these
still
unresolved
incidents,
which have only served
to highlight
more

What's what?
by JOSEPH
MITCHELL
With the
world
situation
the way it
is, there seems to be greater
emphasis
on p_atriotism,
nationalism,
or loyalty
to your
country.
This
grings
to focus
the question,
"What is a goad American?
11
Keeping
in mind
the fact
that
our
faculty should have much more
knowledge
of what would or would not make
a goo~
American,
I put the question
to them.
I
received
the following
replies:
From
Mr.
Sommer:
"lt seems
to me
that knowledge,
awareness,
and respon-
sibility
are
signs
of maturity
in any
given
set
of circumstances.
In
·this
case,
they provide
touchstones
by which
to evaluate
the "good American".
The
"good
American"
is he who studies
the
principles
upon which
this
government
is built; this,in
turn,
provides
him
with
an awareness
of himself,
his
society,
and his relation
to that
society.
Luigo
Sturzo,
in his book Church
and State,
emphasizes
the fact th~
i;-;-
g~-
rious being; that he is created
to live in
a society:
the family,
the
community,
and the
state.
How well
he lives
in
these societies
and abides
by their
rules
depend
upon
his
maturity-
-knowledge,
awareness
and responsibility.
From Mr. Robert
Norman:
A good American
is one who wears
his country
in his heart
and not on his
sleeve.
From Brother
Richard
Anselm:
A
good American
is that person
who
consciously
recognizes
that the inalien-
able rights
of man are
essential
con-
stituents
of an adequate
understanding
of the human person.
From
Dr. Roscoe
Balch:
He is one who gives
to his family,
work,
community,
and when the oppor-
tunity
arises,
country ••• more
than he
has any reasonable
expectation
of get-
ting ba.ck.

ment,
Brother
Richard
La Pietra.
Our new faculty
addition
was born in
NewYorkCity,
where he attended

After
doing
some
undergra-
duate work
in Chemistry
at Fordham
University,
he attended
Catholic
Uni-
versity
and received
his _Ph.D. in Chem-
istry
in June,
1960 to embark
on his

career.
For his first
assignment,
Brother
Richard
taught for one year
at
Catholic
University.
Brother's
lifelong
dreams
were realized
when
in
1961 he was as-
signed to teach at Mari.st

His duties
here
include
instructing
both in the Chemistry

noted SJ>eaker
s
in a variety
of fields,
has been scheduled
for the present
college
year,
according
to an ;1.nnouncement
made

The lectures,
a newly-ordained
func-
tion of the faculty,
are
primarily
de -
signed
for
the benefit_
of the

cussed,
Announcements

via radio,
newspaper
and special
invi"-
. tation will be made to the community

For these
two reasons
the lectures
will
be aimed
at presenting
scholarly
sub-
jects
with a broad
interest
base,
The first

PARK 12-6 OVER GUARD
by Bob VanAernum
On October

Shamrock
Field
was
the site
of a fierce
battle
betweeti,
the
Park
House and the Guard
House,
with
the former
coming
out· on top
12-6.
Tne first
gal£ saw both .teams
battling
hard for the first
tally
01
the game,
and
contained
all the scoring.
·The Park
House
scored
first
on a
Bob YanAernem
pass
to Levi
Carri_er.
The Guard
House
came
back down the
field after
the kickoff behind
the efforts
of John Romeo,
Bill Moran,
and Ernie
Miscione,
only to be stopped
short
of
the
gnal
by the fine
efforts
of
Greg
Tucci,
Dan Verrico,
and Ronnie
Franks.
The Park
House rallied
strongly,
led
by
the fine pass -catching
of Bill Heller
and
Mike Koenig.
With about three
minutes
to go, Bob VanAernem
raced
into the end
zone behind the bone-crushing
blocks
of
Dan Verrico
and Ed Heller.
The Guard House marched
dovvn the
field
behind
Romeo,
Miscione,
Moran
and Margentino.
A long
pass
from
Miscione
to Moran for six points
ended
the scoring
for the first half,
vvith Park
in the lead.
The second
half
saw much
action,
but neither
team could muster
up enough
momentum
for a score.
DONS 12 - SENIORS 6
· by
Terry
Machen
This year's
third intramural
football
game wasprobably·
the roughest
one thus
far this season.
The final whistle
saw
the Don House squeak
out a 12 to 6 vie -
tory
over
the seniors,
but not
before
many cuts and b;uises
had been inflicted,
The game was a defensive
battle
un-
. til midway·
through
the first
half
when
Tom McDermott
fired
a 40 yard
pass
to end John Langleoh,
who took it from
30 yards
out and raced
in for the score.
Their lead did not
last
too long however,
as the seniors
bounced
back when Jim
Callahan
hit Butch
Lenahan
in the
end
zone with a 25 yard pass.
At
halftime
the score
was knotted
at 6-6,.
In the second
half the Dons
scored
again
when McDermott
once again found
his target,
this time
in the
person
of
speedy
scatback
Jimmy
Pizzani.
The
Dons
defense
dug in and the
seniors
could not get off the big play before
the
clock ran out,

Questions
concerning

Several
weeks ago the Student
Council
approved
the idea of a
semi-formal
dance,
to be held in··the new Spellman.Library
after
construction
is completed,
but before
the books are moved
in from
Greystone,
This plan restricted
the Council
to choosing
Novem-
ber 18th as the date of the dance,
a scant
six weeks from idea to
Prom
night.
The pressure
of a tight time schedule
was further
intensified
by
throwing
sponsorship
of the affair
open to the highest
bidder.
Only
the junior
class,
and two unrecognized
{by the Student
Council)
or -
ganizations,
The Varsity
Club and the Booster
Club,
responded
to
this in,ritation.
To make their bidding
idea sensible,
they had to
recognize
these
groups
pronto.
To do this,
they
had to shut their
.
eyes momentarily
to the sacred
Robert's
Rules of Order
(Revised),'
which says somewhere,
that
in
any meeting,
old
business
(bids)
comes
before
new business
(granting
of charters).
In any event,
three
bids were presented
to the Council
on October
11th, five
minutes
after
two new campus
organizations
had been granted
their
provisional
charters,
Immedi.ately
prior
to this time,
however,
the Council
had chosen
to shut its eyes to its own Con.stitution,
which
·state
s
that its Corre -
sponging
Secretary
shall be "elected
by the .•. senior,
junior,
and
sophomore
classes
from
among the members
of the.,.
sophomore
class".
To
fill
the vacancy
of the post by Joseph
Hattley,
an elec-
tion,
conformirig
to the Constitution,
was announced,
and Walter
.
Herbst,
a most deserving
.and
capable
man,
expressed
his inten-
.
tions o~ running
£or the office.
The Council,
assuming
that no one
else
.wanted
the job, decided. to appoint
Mr.
Herbst
on the spot.
_Now
all of this would have been disregarded,
except
that the
junior
cla,ss didn't obtail)- th.e prom bid, because
Mr.
Herbst,
newly
appointed
co.uncil member,
voted for the Booster-.Club's
entry.
Now,
self-interest
being the powerful
force
that it is, the juniors
wer~
drawn into a state of
wrathful
anger,
and a protest
was lodged last
Friday
in an extraordinary
session
of the Student
Council,
in which
it was given an opportunity
to judge the legality
of its own actions.
After protracted
quibbling
over the admissibility
of -:...rite -in
·ballots,
virtually
ignoring
at the same time the fact that Mr.
Herbst
simply
was not elected
by the members
of°the senior,
junior,
and sopho-
more
classes,·
the Student
Council,
for reasons
that could not have
been clear
to itself,
decides
to.censure-its
action by a 3-2 vote,
To remove
any remaining
doubts in this whole affair,
it reas-
serted
its

of the prom· b_id of the Bo6ster

miss_ed any fear of its own inability
to serve
as exemplar

What's what?
by JOSEPH
MITCHELL
With the
world
situation
the way it
is, there seems to be greater
emphasis
on p_atriotism,
nationalism,
or loyalty
to your
country.
This
grings
to focus
the question,
"What is a goad American?
11
Keeping
in mind
the fact
that
our
faculty should have much more
knowledge
of what would or would not make
a goo~
American,
I put the question
to them.
I
received
the following
replies:
From
Mr.
Sommer:
"lt seems
to me
that knowledge,
awareness,
and respon-
sibility
are
signs
of maturity
in any
given
set
of circumstances.
In
·this
case,
they provide
touchstones
by which
to evaluate
the "good American".
The
"good
American"
is he who studies
the
principles
upon which
this
government
is built; this,in
turn,
provides
him
with
an awareness
of himself,
his
society,
and his relation
to that
society.
Luigo
Sturzo,
in his book Church
and State,
emphasizes
the fact th~
i;-;-
g~-
rious being; that he is created
to live in
a society:
the family,
the
community,
and the
state.
How well
he lives
in
these societies
and abides
by their
rules
depend
upon
his
maturity-
-knowledge,
awareness
and responsibility.
From Mr. Robert
Norman:
A good American
is one who wears
his country
in his heart
and not on his
sleeve.
From Brother
Richard
Anselm:
A
good American
is that person
who
consciously
recognizes
that the inalien-
able rights
of man are
essential
con-
stituents
of an adequate
understanding
of the human person.
From
Dr. Roscoe
Balch:
He is one who gives
to his family,
work,
community,
and when the oppor-
tunity
arises,
country ••• more
than he
has any reasonable
expectation
of get-
ting ba.ck.

For the curious
here
is a little
bit
of information
about that ubiquitous
and
popular
addition
to our Science
Depart-
ment,
Brother
Richard
La Pietra.
Our new faculty
addition
was born in
NewYorkCity,
where he attended
gram-
mar school and was a member
of Mount
Saint Michael,
Class
of '49,
Upon graduation,
he entered
Marian
College
where
he obtained
a B. A,
in
Spanish.
After
doing
some
undergra-
duate work
in Chemistry
at Fordham
University,
he attended
Catholic
Uni-
versity
and received
his _Ph.D. in Chem-
istry
in June,
1960 to embark
on his
teaching
career.
For his first
assignment,
Brother
Richard
taught for one year
at
Catholic
University.
Brother's
lifelong
dreams
were realized
when
in
1961 he was as-
signed to teach at Mari.st
College.
His duties
here
include
instructing
both in the Chemistry
and Math
Depart-

A series
of seven
lectures,
intent
on bringing
to the campus
noted SJ>eaker
s
in a variety
of fields,
has been scheduled
for the present
college
year,
according
to an ;1.nnouncement
made
this
week by
Mr.
George
Sommer.
The lectures,
a newly-ordained
func-
tion of the faculty,
are
primarily
de -
signed
for
the benefit_
of the
student
body,
and will not be limited
to those
majoring
in the area
of the
topic
dis-
cussed,
Announcements
of each lecture
via radio,
newspaper
and special
invi"-
. tation will be made to the community
in
order
to promote
an interest
and
an
awareness
in the activities
of the college.
For these
two reasons
the lectures
will
be aimed
at presenting
scholarly
sub-
jects
with a broad
interest
base,
The first
lecture,_
under· the auspices
of the English
Department,
was held two
weeks agn and featured
the Irish -lecturer
Eilis
Dillon,
who spoke
on the obscure
novelist,
Frederick
Baron
Corvo.
No
tentative
date has been
set for the next
lectur~.
but it will be under
the direc-
tion of Dr.
George
Hooper,
who plans
to invite a speaker
to talk on s_ome phase
of 20th century
science.
Mr.
Sommer,
who is responsible
for the program,
also ·made
knovvn that
a faculty
symposium
later
in .the year
will be included

Machen
This year's
third intramural
football
game wasprobably·
the roughest
one thus
far this season.
The final whistle
saw
the Don House squeak
out a 12 to 6 vie -
tory
over
the seniors,
but not
before
many cuts and b;uises
had been inflicted,
The game was a defensive
battle
un-
. til midway·
through
the first
half
when
Tom McDermott
fired
a 40 yard
pass
to end John Langleoh,
who took it from
30 yards
out and raced
in for the score.
Their lead did not
last
too long however,
as the seniors
bounced
back when Jim
Callahan
hit Butch
Lenahan
in the
end
zone with a 25 yard pass.
At
halftime
the score
was knotted
at 6-6,.
In the second
half the Dons
scored
again
when McDermott
once again found
his target,
this time
in the
person
of
speedy
scatback
Jimmy
Pizzani.
The
Dons
defense
dug in and the
seniors
could not get off the big play before
the
clock ran out,
