The bid submitted
by the

Company
of Stamford,
Con-
necticut
has be_en approved
and accepted
for the printing
of Volume
II of The Rey-
nard,
the College's
yearbook
for
1961 -
1962.
The Reynard
is
compiled
and
edited by the senior
class
and serves
as
a record
of the scholastic
year's
acade -
mic,
athletic,
and social
events.
Co-editors
James
Callahan
and
Charles
Counsil
report
that
the basic
work on The Reynard
was begun
early
in
October
and
is
progressing
well.
Since the yearbook
_is the sp~cial
pro-
ject of each and every
senior,
the en-
tire
class
is
pledged
to its
support.
The art and layout
department
is head-
ed by Thomas
Connolly_
while
Thomas
McAndrew,
Thomas
Davitt
and
James
Werber
are
in cha.rge
of the
literary
department.
Martin
Faherty
and Wil-
liam
Supple,
with the able
assistance
of Freshman
Martin
Mara,
are
busy
collecting
the necessary
photos
to pro-
vide a pictorial
record
_of the past
year
in review.
Lawrence
O'Brien
and Ed-
ward Shanahan
are
acting
as
business
managers
and they are particularly
in-
terested
in promoting
a successful
ad-
vertising
campaign.
All members
of
the
underclasses
are
invited
to work
in any of these
departments.
They
are
urged
to do so,
not
only
to provide
much
needed
help,
but to gain
invalu-
able
experience
through
which they
might
contribute
to their
own
senior
publication
in years
to come.
Help
from
the underclassmen
is
especially
needed
by the business
staff
for
their
advertising
campaign.
Because
the
money
derived
from
advertising
covers
an important
part
of the basic
cost
of
the book it is quite necessary
to be as-
sured
of this
income.

on
a Constitution
The Student
Council
has recently
empowered
a standing
com -
mittee
to review
its Constitution
and by-laws,
and recommend
amendation
in the light of every-changing
circumstances.
To re-
cognize
the.need
for such a group is in itself
a means
of main-
taining
dynamic
contact
with the student
body which it represents.
Events
of the past year have in fact borne
on the Council's
actions
in such a way as to affect
the students
in general
and in-
terest
the Constitution
committee.
The incident
of the November
semi-formal
dance,
in which the Council
declared
itself
as having
acted illegally,
enunciated
the need for a permanent
and official
body to hear
g~ie'.'ances
of individuals
or groups
of students
against
the Council.
The officers
of the school's
administration
have, of course,
an absolut~
veto power
over any Council
action,
but the student
does not generally
have direct
contact
with these
people
for this sort of affair.
(In
fact,
the contact
he does have,.
indirect,
is through
the Student-Council,
which,
in future
years,
could certainly
become
oblique
to any student
will other
than its
own mandates,
and ·hesitate
to present
opinion· opposed
to its own
to higher
authorities,
simply. in an instinct
of
self preservation.)
The Council
moderator,
it
seems,
could be given the power
to ad-
judicate
disputes
between
students
and the Council.
This arrange-
ment in fact is provided
for in the Constitution
of the evening
divi-
sion's
governing
body.
·
The Council
by-laws
concerning
elections,
while covering
leli_.;.
gibility
requirements;
fail to indicate
and· specify
any details
of
election
procedure.
For instance,
is a unanimous
consent
of
the voting body necessary
for a person
to be elected,
or merely
two-thirds
assent,
or a ·simple
majority,
or finally,
does nothing
more
than a plur_a_gty of votes iifsure
election?
In practice,
the
last-mentioned
ha:eagen~rally
been observed,
but in no pla1,e made
publicly
known is• there
any indication
that this is in fact the elec -
tion formula;
Lastly,
the present
Constitution
places
the approval
of con-
stitutional
amendments
in the hands
of the Council
members.
It
seems
logical
to suppose,
however,
that since the Council
Con-
stitution
was originally
approved
not by tqe · Council
itself,
but by
the student
body,
that any changes
in that document
would be sub-
ject not merely
to
the Council,
but to the same
student
body.
It
is interesting
to note that since this proposal,
aii_,an
a.niendment
would,
under
the present
rules,
be voted on by the ·council
alone,
and if approved,
would eliminate
the right ·that it had just exer-
cised.
Arguments
in favor of this amendment
be-come more
powerful
to those who conside_r the Council
as primarily
the voice
and representative
of the student,
rather
than,
primarily,
his un-
questionable
leader.
There
is a very good ·argument
against
any of these
proposals;
they seek unnecessary
precision.
The same can be said of any
form of organization.

The neighbor

re-
membered
Ma.rist College and the com-
munity as well this Christmas.
Western Printing,
North Road neigh-
bor of Marist
has given $Z~ 000 to the
· school,
following
a
similar
gift
last
Christmas.
The initial
gift helped,
in
part, to establish
a language
laboratory
at Marist.
The room
was named
"Wes-
tern
Communications
Laboratory"
in
honor
of the donor.·
In thanking
Richard
Small,
Vice-
President
of -Western
Printing
and
Lithographing
Company,
Brother
Daniel
Kirk,
F.M.S.,
Acting
Preeident
of
Marist
College
made
known
the
latest
gift will
again
be used
to defray
the
total
cost
of the
27 ·
unit lab valued
in
excess
of $10, 000.
In its first
year
of operation,
the
lab has
been
utilized
for
the
study
of
the
Romance
languages
as
well
as
German
and
Russian.
English
tapes
were
also
purchased
to aid
twelve
Cuban
student
brothers
who
fled
Castro's
Cuba to this country.
Brother
Joseph
Belanger,
F.M.S.,
in charge
of the Laboratory,
indicated
that "Western
Communications
Labora-
tory"
has unlimited
possibilities
because
of the
diversity
of
foreign
language
tapes
available
and th~ student
is able
to set his
own
pace
while
studying
a
language
in his individual
unit.
Brother
Joseph·
also
said
that
additional
tapes
·
will
be added
tc
the
languages
now
covered
and
new
language
tapes
will
supplement
those
presently
used by stu-
dents.
Local
high school
students
and area
residents
not enrolled
at Marist
have
also made

Guild
enter-
tained
the faculty
and students
recently
in the
fifth
of
the
Faculty
Lecture
Series.
Drawing
on his
diverse
experience
in the theatre,
Mr.
Britt
spoke
on the
"Director
as an Interpretative
Artist".
The director,
he pointed
out,
stoo'~ be-
tween
the
actor
and
the
playwright.
Taking the word of the playwright,
which
is the
manifestation
of
his
concepts
and
feelings,
the
director
interprets
them
in his
own mode
of conceptuali
-
zation
and
gives
them
"expression".
At this point,
Mr.
Britt
stated
that
the
director
and only the director
who can
interpret
the work
to be presented
and
his freedom
of expression
cannot
be in-
vaded by the playwright.
Expression,
Mr.
Britt
continued,
deals with an intellectual
facility,
which
he
labelled
as
"Vivid
Imagination".
This. "Vivid Imagination"
is implemented
by the mastery
of the tools
of his trade;
namely,
stage,
lighting,
and actor.
The
director
takes
a limited
area
and has to
use space for an optimum
level
of visual
perception.
For what you hear
is no way
augmented
by what you see.
The theatre
of old was
in sunlight,
but with the advent of artificial
and e spec -
ially ~lectric
lighting,
it is possible
to
adjust
the amount
of light and thus ·give
the stage more power
over the audience.
Lighting
can be made to accentuate
what-
ever
stage
area
the director
is working
with.
Finally
the director
has
to make
use of all his experience
in coping
with
the actor,
who,
Mr.
Britt
explained,
are human
beings.
The director
has to
elicit
from
them
sincerity,
respect
and
an intellectual
curiosity.
Also,
V. I. of
the director
cannot
invade
the V. I. of
the actor.

Now that the Marist

to get some picture

how
we have fared.
After

In their

n1oer,
the team· was
defeated
in New York City by Cathedral

In the opener
at Lenox,
the Marist
five was hampered
by the loss
of Fred
Weiss,
the 6-5 center,
who had frac-
tured
a finger
on his
right
hand
in
practice._
The attack
in the firsthalf
was sustained
largely
by Jack
Calla-
han,
Tom Trojanowski
and John
"Bom-
ber"
Romeo.
Romeo's
quick
five
points
as the half
ended was
the
only
reason
that
Marist
stayed

they were

Fred
Weiss.
The
former
Roosevelt
High School
star from
Hyde Park,
New York has accounted
for
68 points
in the three
games
in which he
has appeared.
T·om Trojanowski
should
not be sold
short
as
a
scorer
either.
The
fine
all-round
play
of "Bomber"
Romeo
and
Bob VanAernem
have
·not
gone unnoticed.
The great
ball hawku,i;
of VanAernem
and Dave
Flynn's
excel-
lence
on defense
have been the decisive
factors
in several
games.
Coach George
Strba,

deser-
ves much credit

of the
team_ to date.
