by JAMES MOLONEY
In September
of 1961 the facu~ty
of
Marist
College
was enhanced
by the ad-
dition of Brother
William
J.
Murphy.
Brother's
qualifications
almost
equal
his
record
of
achievements
here
at
Marist.
He holds the following
degrees:
a B.S.
in
Education
from
Fordham
University
an S. T.M.
from
the
Uni-
versity
of Notre
Dame,
an
M.S.
in
Psychology
from
St.
John's
Univer-
sity,
a.n Associateship
in
Education
from
the University
of London,
and a
diploma
from
the Sorbonne
in Paris.
This
is a very
impressive
·background,
especially
when we add
to it his
ad-
ministrative
experience
derived
from
such
diverse
positions
as teaching
at
the Marist
Brothers'
Novitiate,
edi-
ting
the Maristella
(religious
news -
paper),
and
teaching
assignments
at
the numerous
Marist
high schools.
A glance
at the previous
listings
makes
it obvious
that
Brother
Wil-
liam has led a rather
active
life.
Re-
siding
here
at Marist
has not changed
this any.
Brother
is now involved
in
as
many activities
as is possible.
He is the
headofthe
Education
Department
and he
has recently
been appointed
to animate
and direct theTeacher
Training
Program,
which
requires
adept
and
experienced
· guidance.
Brother
William
is also
the
director
of
intercollegiate
activities
and in this
capacity
he is responsible
for scheduling
the
games,
meeting
the
representatives
from
other
colleges,
arranging
transportation,
etc.
Active
with the intramural
sports
program,
·. Brother
is assisting
Dr.
Hooper
by
planning
the
future
athletic
events.
Another
highlight
of Brother.
William's
career
here
was
the
preparing
of
the brochure
used
to
publicize
the
college.
These
positions
are
all above and
beyond his essential
call to duty as in-
structor
in three
courses:
Fundamen-
tals of Catholic
Belief,
Catholic
Mora-
lity and Marriage,
and the
Education
Seminar.
In
his
spare
time
Brother
William
is writing
·lie
thesis
entitled
"Prologue
to the Gospel
of St. John: A
Comparative
Study."

Eight Seniors
Are
Presently
Teaching
by THOMAS McANDREW
A new field
of study leading
to the
attainment
of a New York State
provi-
sional teacher's
certificate
has been in-
augurated
at Marist
College.
The
pro-
gram which qualifies
the student
to teach
on the secondary
school level
should
be
in full swing by next year,
and will be
offered to those in third and fourth
year.
The program
does
not lead
to a
bachelor's
degree
in education,
but is
designed
rather
to equip the liberal
arts
student with the necessary
qualifications
for teaching,
without losing
the value of
their
arts degree.
Those
students
en-
rolled
in the
courses,
which
will
be
over and above those required
to gra-
duate,
will have to have more
than the
regular
128 credits;
however
some may
be taken as electives.
The courses
to
be offered
include;
philosophy
of Edu-
cation,
Test
and Measurement,
Public
Speaking,
Educational
Psychology,
Fun-
damental
Sociology,
and New York State
Government.
There will also be courses
given on teaching
methods
in
English,
HistoryandMathematics.
Brother
Wil-
liam Murphy,
who is director
of the de-
partment,
plans to have outside
teachers
renown in their respective
fields
to lec-
ture
and conduct
some
of the method
classes.
Along with the courses,
the
student
is
required
to
spend
eighty
hours
in
observation
and
practice
teaching
which will take place
in
the
£all semester
of their
senior
year.
Students
will also be given the bene-
fit of a placement
service;
however,
a
position
is usually
offered
at the· school
where
the practice
teaching
is done.
The advantage
of the certificate
is two -
fold;

Curricular
and
Extra
To those of us who arrived
on canipus
in the fall of '58, and
to
less extent,
to each succe·eding
class,
the c;ollege has presen-
ted an external
facade
much different
from that which we see to-
day.
What was then a hole in the ground
is today Donnelly
Hall,
the hub of all student
activity.
A
once empty parking
lot has
twice been expanded
to meet
the needs
of an increased
student
population.
But even more
important,
there
is
a force
of change acting
below this aurface,
and with results
far more
important,
The
liberal
arts
college
has in the space of one year enlarged
itself
into Business
Administration
and Teacher
Education.
Faculty
numbers
have increased,
and curriculum
has been appended,
at
least
as rapidly
as student
enrollment
has filled out.
And most
important,
the. vital role of extra-curricular
activity
has been
sensed
and acted upon by the administration.
What at first
was
mere
classroom
instruction
of the college
man has expanded
to
approach
more
nearly
the full development
of the well-rounded
man,
In any school,
any institution
of higher
learning,
probably
the outstanding
extra-curricular
means
for acc~mplishing
its
end are its lecture
series.
In
fact,
not only ar~ its students
benefitted,
but the school,
in this activity,
is
serving
more
fully,
more
directly,
as a prime
cultural
and intellectual
force
in the community,
Here,
the lecture
as a tool for instruction
and as an effortless
educator
has developed
to an impelling
·force,
-probably
second
only to the classroom
itself,
in
serving
to broaden
one's
knowledge
and experience,
It must
certainly
be rewarding
to those responsible
for the
formation
of.the lecture
programs
to see the response
in atten-
dance given by
_the
student
Brothers,
and it must be even more
disheartening
for them to notice
the absence
of other
students.
Any lecture
serving
to augment
curricular
educati_on is probably
least
meant
fo:t. those studying
in that major
field covered
by the
lecture.·
It is for the science
man to here learn
of Lincoln,
the
mathematician
to
.understand
0
1
Neill,
and all of us to become
aware
of the p:tesent
·trends
in architecture,
Especially
in a
liberal
arts
coilege,
no man can lay claim
to one area as the
sou:rce of his own knowledge,
and it is the lecture
that most
certainly
brings
to hiJn, with facility,
a knowledge
of more
of
the-world
that surrounds
him,
Unless
a college
man
seek out what he has passively
re-
ceived for a dozen yea:ts,
his education
has been aborted
short
of its goal,

To
The Editor:
Dear Sir:
In view of the
recent
.pilgrimages
which have been made
to the
college,
I
feel that it ;is the duty of the students
to
take an interest
in the school's
physical
well-being.
The
good
Brothers
have
done a commendable
job in maintaining
the buildings,
lawns,
and other
facili-
ties.
However,
there
is one major
de-
traction
to the otherwise
fine appearance
those ridiculous
signs.
Let's
face it, how wrong
can a per-
son go when he is looking
for
someone
or something
on this
campus.
Granted
there is a traffic problem
and these
signs
are needed.
But the sight of two or three
signs one after
another
telling
you that
you cannot park,
cannot
go, cannot turn
or cannot cannot.
We
may have a serious
mental
problem
on our hands
soon.
Do
you realize
the effect
that this
ridicu-
lous mental lapse can cause
our students
.
to become
hopelessly
neurotic?
Hopelessly
neurotic,

What's what
?
by JOSEPH
MITCHELL
There
are thousands
of questions
un-
answered
in
many American
minds
con-
cerning
political
affairs.
I
think
that
one of the more
pressing
questions
is
this:
Would You vote
for or
against
a
four
year
term
of office
of Supreme
Court Justices?
When
asked,
these
six people
re-
plied thusly:
Against,
because
the Supreme
Court
would tend to be packed.
We can see
the plausibility
of that with our experi-
ence
under
Roosevelt.
If,
however,
the term
of office
were
to be length-
ened to a longer
period
of time,
·
for
exan1ple,
ten or twelve
years,
and
if
these
terms
were
staggered
in
a
·man-
.
ner similar
to that used
in
the Senate,
it might
be
possible
to
combat
ex-
cess
conservativism
and
yet maintain
the stability
that
is necessary
for
the
c'ourt to function
properly.
Jim Coombs
Against,
because
the
court
would
be
used
as a tool.
Bill
Lenehan
Against,
because
I think
they should not
shorten
the term
for the Supreme
Court
Justices
due to the
possibility
that
a
member
of our highest
court may tend to
have his decisions
influenced
by a par-
ticular
group.
This would, in a sense,
rende:t
the court
ineffective,
somewhat
like our present
House
of Representa-
tives which spends
the first
part
of its
term
beco·ming
accustomed
to the job,
and the latter
part in running for reelec-
tion,
This would therefore
produce
a con-
flict of interest
in
the courte,

Dept.
Robert
Norman
began his
career
at
Marist
College
in the spring
of 1959 as
a part-time
instructor
in Speech,
Radio
and Television.
The school
year
of 1961
now finds him a full time
instructor
in
the English
Department
while
adroitly
directing
the
public
relations
for
the
school.
After
his three
year
tour
of
duty with
the UnitedStates
Army
in the Phillipines
during the Second World War, he return-
ed to the United States
and obtained
a B. A.
degree inJournalismfrom
the University
of St. Bonaventure.
Upon graduation,
he
attended
Syracuse
University,
receiving
his M. S. in Communications.
Mr.
Nor -
man is a well known local
radio
announ-
cer.
He has
participated
in many type
programs
and is known in this
area
for
his announcing
and administrative
work
at WEOK.
Though bearing
the brunt
of a
heavy schedule,
he still
reserves
time
to broadcast
the

because
as a result

Have
you ever stopped to think about the ques-

HUDSON 20-6
by Terry

Two teams
fresh
from
first
game
victories
on the
intramural
gridiron
met last Wednesday.
A strong Don House
team
dumped
the Hudson
House by a 20
to 6 margin.
The first
half was
all Don House.
The game was only minutes
old when end
John Langeloh
took a 30 yard pass
from
quarterbackTommy
McDermott
and loped
into the end zone.
Minutes
later
flashy
Jimmy
Pizzani
grabbed
a bullet
from
McDermott
and hit pay-dirt.
The Dons rolled
on as the combina-
tion of McDermott
and Pizzani
clicked
again
when Pizzani
took a screen
pass
and scampered
40 yards
down the side -
line untouched.
The
Dons
added
insult
to injury:
when their
big defensive
line
dug
in with
tlie
Hudsons
backed
up
against
the goal and Cy Collins
caught
Stan Waryas
in the end zone for a safety.
The second
half was a little
more
of
a contest.
The Huds came back when big
Fred Weiss jumped up between
two defen-
ders to snag Pat Berardi
's chuck.
At times
the Hudson House started
to move
but the
Dons'
defensive
line,
sparked
by such
terrors
as John O'Neill,
Cy Collins,
Don
Rolleri,
Pete
Hanley,
and Bob Kuffman,
quickly
quelled
any threat
and the Don

THE RECORD
Frank Swetz Named Coach· of Wrestling
Intercollegiate
Activity Planned
for
Fall of 1962
·
by JOHN DWORAK
Brother
William··Murphy,
Athletic
Director
of Marist
College,
has announ-
ced that the post of wrestling
and weight
lifting
coach
has
bee_n filled.
Frank
Swetz, a senior
at th,e college,
has been
appointed,
and the assignment
is
-effec-
tive immediat~ly.
Mr. Swetz is a native
of New York
City and attended
Marist
High School.
He has been
associated
with members
of the administration
at "the college
for
the past
six years.
He-
attended
City
College
of New York
after
graduation
from
high
school.
Here
he gained
an
intensive
knowledge
of the two sports.
During
his attendance
at City Col-
lege hehad
an opportunity
to work under
Joe Sapora,
one of the finest
wrestling
and weight lifting coaches
in
the
country.
It was Sapora
who coached
America's
first
heavyweight
wrestling
champion.
This was in the 19480lympics
·at
London.
Mr. Swetz's
record
in college
bears
out
the fact that he is not only a good teacher
but also
a
good
student.
During
his
freshman
year he wrestled
first
man in
his division,
middleweight,
on the fresh-
man team.
He continued
to hold
this
position
for the next three
year•
on the
varsity
and junior
varsity
teams.
His
experience
with
weight-lifting
merited
him
an offer
to join the
team
which was to go on to
win
the East Coast
championship.
He
was
forced
to refuse
this
offer,
unfortunately.
He also won
second
place
in the middleweight
boxing
intermural
meet.
On the
strength
of
his performances
he took
the
post
of
coach of weight-lifting
which :he held for
two years.
In
an interviewSwetz
outlined
the pro-
gram which he has planned
for the up-
coming months.
He made a point to show
that many men
at Marist
feel
that
be -
cause they have no experience
in either
wrestling
or weight-lifiing
they
should
not bother
going out for the team.
_No-
thing could be farther
fro:hl true.
Both
of the sports
are primarily
reserved
for
the college
level and there
are very
few
college
wrestlers
and weight lifters
to -
day
who ever die! 1t before
college.
The
inte·rest_in
the sports
has been increas-
ing
but he feels
a greater
response
should be had.
As the program
is set up now, any
student
can come and work out with the
weights
and learn
the fundamentals
of
wrestling.
The sessions
are
held
each
class
day in
the
gym.
During
the
win-
ter months
there
will be an introduction
to the methods
in
weight lifting
that
can
SALE

and
Weightlifting
develop
a person's
capabilities.
There
has been an appropriation
for
the purchase
of a full set of weights
and
mate
and
these
should be along soon. In
the
spring,
intramural
competition
in
both
sports
is
planned
and
there
are
plans
to begin
intercollegiate
activity
the following
fall.
To cultivate
interest
on cainpus,
the
coach
said
that an exhibition
is being
planned.
He has invited
the noted
area
wrestler,
Carl
