Response
and
Responsibility
At least
eight members
of the Guard House,
and in fact many
more,
had agreed
to participate
in the intramural
football
program.
Last
Wednesday,
three
of them appeared
for a football
game,
a
game which had been scheduled
as early
as six weeks ago.
The truly unfortunate
circumstances
are not that these men
have
shirked
a responsibility
but that they have acted just as the
student
body for the most part has always
acted.
Their
inacti,on
can only be condemned
as being typical.
Irresponsibility
towards
fulfilling
commitments
extends
far beyond this program,
an ath-
letic
one in which student
participation
has generally
surpassed
that of other
activities.
For example,
the Literary
Club,
still
trying
to get its Quarterly
off the ground,
has failed
to receive
anything
approaching
a sufficient
quantity
of written
material
suitable
for publication
from a group of English
majors
at least
as large
as the group mentioned
above.
The English
major
should
be writing
not because
he must but because
he has something
to
say and in fact he cannot
write
unless
he has something
to say.
Norbert
Wiener,
in his book,
The liuman
Use of Human Beings,
says,
"Properly
speaking
the artist,
the writer
and the scientist
should be moved by such an irresistible
impulse
to create
that,
even if they were
not being paid for their
work (and at Marist
they certainly
aren't),
they would be willing
to pay to get the
chance
to do it'{but
at Marist
they don't have to).
This is another
aspect
of the problem.
Here we are not deal-
ing with student
irresponsibility
as much as with student
incapa-
bility,
with intellectual
as well as social
immaturity.
Irrespon-
sibility
moves
in the direction
opposite
to that of apathy
also.
There
are probably
just as many
students
who have committed
themselves
very unrealistically
to too many activities
and find
themselves
being hounded
by club presidents,
editors,
intra-
mural
house
captains
and the like.
A re-evaluation
of the student's
interests
and goals and an
increasing
sense
of responsibility
are necessary
if the quite
realistic
dilemma
that has been presented
to the faculty
advi-
sors
and student
organization
heads
is _to _be properly
resolved.
The Administration
may soon become
hesitant
m giving what
has been an abundance
of financial
and moral
backing
to any and
all student
endeavor.
Thanksgiving
It is fitting
indeed
and just,
right and helpful
to salvation,
for
us always
and everywhere
to give thanks
to You,
0
Holy
Lord,
Father
Almighty,
Everlasting
God, Who with your Only-begotten
Son and the Holy Spirit
are one God, one Lord;
not in the unity of
a single
person,
but in the trinity
of a single nature.
For that
which we believe
on Your revelation
concerning
Your glory,
that
same
we believe
of Your Son, that same of the Holy Spirit,
with-
out difference
or discrimination.
So that in confessing
the
true
and everlasting
Godhead,
we shall adore
distinction
in persons,
oneness
in being,
and equality
in Majesty.
This the Angels
and
Archangels,
the Cherubim,
too, and the Seraphim
do praise;
day
by day they cease -not to cry out as with one voice.

It is
important
to remember
that
everyone
can begin
his preparation
by
maintaining
a good
scholastic
rec:ord.
However,
a 3. 0 index

while
it most
definitely
does
help,
is not
necessarily
essential.
Many
factors
enter
into the judging
of these
awards
which may offset

ence in index.
Participation
in extra-

activities
is
considered
in
evaluating
an applicant's
qualifications.
Even the location
from
,which
the appli•
cant comes
may
influence
the decision
of the judges
since
there
is an attempt
made
to
distribute
these
awards
throughout
the country.
Those
students

or
Mr.

November

the
fourth
in
a series
of lectures
presented
by the
Literary

Hooper
head
of the Biology
Department.
His
talk
was concerned
with
his
graduate
work
at Princeton
University
with
Drosophila,
alias
"fruit
flies",
in
relation
to ecological
balances.
The problem
was
first
brought
to
light
in
1859 with
the
publication
of
Darwin's
"Thesis
On Natural
Selec-
tion".
In 1934
Gause,

postulated
that closely
related
species
cannot
exist
in the same
ecological
or
environmental
systems..
As
a
J"esult
of
his
study
he
made three
observations:
( 1)
The

Dr. Hooper

labors.
The
Doctor
graphically

his lec-
ture with instruments
which he had con-

himself

of diverse
and
seemingly

materials;

The general

Blood
Bank·
Planned
for Mari
st
Faculty,
Students, and Families
The
faculty
and
the
students
of
Mariat
Coilege
have been invited to join
in establishing
a College
Blood Bank in
cooperation
with St. Francis
Hospital.
The purpose
of the Blood
Bank
is
to
make blood available
in
times
of Medi-
cal emergency
to faculty
and
students
and
members
of
their
immediate
family
at
a
considerable
financial
saving.
The average
cost of blood
is
$40
a pint
with
an additional
$5
service
charge
for
the
technical
aspects
of
typing,
storing
and
transfusing
the
blood.'
Under the Blood Bank plan,
the
cost
is
reduced
to
the $5 service
charge
per
pint
of
blood.
The
$30
cost per pint is eliminated
because
the
hospital
takes
two pints
of blood from
the college
Blood Bank; one pint for
the
patient,
-the second
for the use of the
hospital.
The above plan is practical
with the
hospitals
in the Mid-Hudson
area
which
maintain
their ·own blood banks in coop-
eration
with St. Francis
Hospital.
These

The use of blood from our Blood Bank in
Hospitals
other
than
the
above
is
feasible
but may not be financially
prac-·
tical.
Blood may be transported
to any
hospital
but the patient pays for all trans -
portation
and extra
sel:"vice charges
in-
volved.
Inmost
cases
these total charges
mayaverageoutto
~
than$30
a pint.
Thus it would be more
practical
to buy
the blood at the hospital
concerned
or ask
donors to travel
to the hospital
to donate
blood.
