The following
is the introduction
to an artic;:le by Dorothy
Barclay
appearing
in The New York Times
magazine
section
for January
7th.
"In many ahouseho~hrn"school-age
children
dwell,
the
excitement
of year-end
holidays
has no sooner
abated
than a new kind
of madness
erupts,
the madness
of term-end
'wrap-up'
time.
Suddenly
the heretofore
mindless
young remember
neglected
assignments
to be tracked
down and completed,
notebooks
to be put in order,
science
proje"ts
to finish--and
examinations
to prepare
for.
"Some--principally
the competent
or.the
not-too-much-caring--
take it in stride,
of course.
But many others
show unmistakable
symptoms
of tension.
11
The author
continues
by describing
the mental
anquish
suffered
by the student
and suggests,
as she must,
various
resolutions
of the
child's
anxiety.
But all that she prescribes
is meaningless,
for her
mentality
and perspective,
erupting
in the last sentence
quoted,
indicate
that she is speaking
of the incompetent.
The assurance
of the
author
that it is the competent
(and, of course,
the not-too-much-
caring;
the two in our increasing~y
isostatic
society
are being more
frequently
equated)
who is able to take the test "in stride"
should in
itself instill
in
the normal
person
experiencing
the normal
reactions
to normal
challenges
an irrational
fear_ that his :reactions
do mark
him
as an incompetent.
But the fact that Dorothy
Barclay
is contributing
to terrible,
terrible
traumas
which she is so nobly seeking
to soothe is of little
importanc~
when it is weighed
against
her knowledge.of
the nature
of tests.
Instead
of leading
a crusade
against
the forces
of evil who are trying
to badger,
irritate,
·stymie,
and crush
the child who-is powerless
against
such
overwhelming
odds,' the child who is certainly
incompetent
in this
:regard,
here understanding
and presentation
of tests_ as first,
a
fundamental
part of the educational
system;
and second,
as a factor
in a much larger
type of education,
as a challenge
to be met and
conquered.
Those who would attempt
to counsel
others
without
manifesting
a
degree
of understanding
of the fundamentals
of a subject
are fools.
Today reasons
have become
obscure
as we have receded
in
time from
the origination
of concepts.
To many men mankind
exists
to be
organized--the
State is master
of man--;
and understanding
of the
reason
for the State has been lost,
through
an inc:reasing·temporal
remoteness
of causes.
We on this campus
sense that sometimes
the
cause of law governing
us is lost sight of; that the ultimate
primacy
of the student
~n any college
is the one cause of all direction
given to
the college
and himself.
It is a distorted
view of man that solicits
the certain
sympathies
·
of the Dorothy
Barclays,
for it is a man fundamentally
unable
to
conquer
himself
or his exterior
that they
see.

To The
Editor:
Recently,
a student
here
at Marist
College
was stricken
with a serious
ill -
ness.
Al Williams,
a Junior,
is now re;:
covering
from,
major
surgery.
To help
Al on the road to recovery
the members
of the Junior
class
have inaugurated
the
Al Williams
Fund.
Each member
of the
Junior
Class
has
given
$5. 00, in
the
hope that
this
initial
impetous
will
set
the example
for the rest
of the school.
Sincemuchmore
surgery
will be neces-
sary to pull Al through
we know Al can
use all the help we can give him,
In order
that all who wish to may
give to this worthy
cause,
there
will be
envelopes
available
in the Student
Lounge
Monday,
Tuesday
and - Wednesday
of
this week.
The envelopes
may be re-
turned
to those distributing
them.
Any
and all contributions
will be gratefuliy
accepted.
It is up to the
individual
donor to decide
if he wishes
to sign the
envelope
or not.
The gift will be pre -
sented
in _the name
of Marist
College.
We Juniors
feel that
this
drive
can
serve
as an excellent
reminder
that we
do have a Blood Bank
and it does need
donors,
and it also serves
as an excel-
lent chance
for us to demonstrate
the
unity and brotherhood
that
is a part
of
Marist
College.

This letter
was written
before
the
results
of the freshman
election
were
known,
and regardless
of the outcome
let us go on record
as regarding
it as
a farce.
Let us here
recommend
Mr.
John
Christie
for
a
Pulitzer
Prize,
for indeed
he is
surely
deserving
of
one,
in lieu
of his
phenomenal
me -
mory.
For
indeed,
Mr.
John
Christie
could easily
recognize
every
voter,
thus prohibiting
the
possibility
of
some
slight,
less
than
honest,
character
from
voting
twice
or
three
or four- times.-
This
certainly
has
a
great
deal
to offer,
as
regards
the
futurf'. · reputation
of our
upright
and
honest
College.
~d
so,
as long as we are
in the
mood
to pass
out
accolades,
let us
commend
all
those
responsible
for
our knowing
of the election
an entire
day ahead
of time.
This
is indeed
conducive
to a thorough
soul
search-
ing.
And so,· in our first
official
stand,
let the under -signed
group
commend
all
.those responsible
for this perfectly
flaw-
less
election.
We look
fol'ward
to a
year,
almost
completely
free of-any
dis:-
astrous
events.

S3 To Danbury State
.
.
by TERENCE
MACKEN
The Marist
College
basketball
team
was beaten
by a very
strong
Danbury
State club at Danbury
last week.
The de -
feat was
by
no means
humiliating
to the
Marist
quintet
as the fans in attendance
can testify.
The Red Foxes,
although
outclassed
by the
Indians
fought
until
the final buzzer.
Thefirsthalf
saw Marist
get off to a
very
slow· start
and it was not until
the
ten minute mark that the club hit its sec-
ond field goal.
Danbury
on the
other
hand wasted
no time and jumped
off to a
quick fifteen
point lead with their
three
big men Jack
Gregory,
Tom
Gorman,
and Bill Repp
doing most
t:>f
the work.
When Marist
did begin
to hit,
the be.st
they could
do was just
match
the
In-
dians and the halftime
score
read

Seniors Elected
To Varsity Club
The Varsity
Club of Marist
College
announced
today
the acceptance
of five
seniors
into
the
Club.
Ordinarily,
membership
is· exclusive
to
students.
who have played
a
Varsity
sport.
Given
this
prerequisite
they
are
invited
to
join the Varsity
Club.
In this
instance,
however,
the Club
members
felt
that
the senior
class
bad no real opportunity
·
to participate
in intercollegiate
athleti':s
even though
they were
instrumental
m
bringing
intercollegiate
athletics
to
Marist.
The general·coneensus
of mem-
b'er
s was that Marist
could not have had.
Intercollegiate
Athletics
at this time with-·
out
the
enthusiasm
generated
by
the
seniors.
Those nominated
were:
Frank
Swetz,
James
Callahan,
Charles
Counsil,
Wil-
liam
Lenehan
and Tho!l1~!!_¥~~<irew.
'Contour

Drawri.
Up
Am~ric~,:;.Air
'Surveys Inc.,
of Pitts-
burgh,
Penn.,
has recently
made.an
aerial
survey of the College
and a large
contour
map of the
·campus
has been drawn.
This
map not only indicates
the position
and
size of the buildings
and roads
but also
the various
elevations
of the
ground.
The primary
purpose
of the map is
toaidinplanning
the future
construction
and development
on the
campus.
· At
present
the major
use of the map
is in
determining
the most
suitable
site for
the new athletic
·field
which will
con-
sist of a quarter-mile
track· surround-
ing a soccer
field.
Construction_
of the
field will begin this i::pring approximately
100 yards south of Donnelly
Hall· and it
.
will
be
availabiefor
football intramural&
and soccer
during the nest
scholastic
year.
Itis as yet undetermined
whether
it will ruii: in a north-south
or east-west·
direction
and the contour map is facili-
tating the judging of
which
site will re-
quire
the most
leveling
and filling.
The second
half was almost
a re -
peat performance
of the first
half
as
Danbury
pulled
aw.ay in the early
part
and built up a 28-point
lead.
The Foxes
put on a press
later
on in the half and
cut the Indians
lead
to 18.
Big
Fred
Weiss,
Tom
Trojanowski,
and
John
Romeo led the quintet
in the surge.
The
size of the Danbury
team
proved
to
be
the deciding
factor
in the
contest
as
they
controlled
the
boards
and
when
Dave Flynn and Weiss fouled out it was
all over but the shouting.
The last five minutes
saw the Marist
bench emptied
and a completely
new ball
club entered
the game.
This team
also
showed
the same
fight
as the
starting
five and definitely
held their
own.
When
the final buzzer
sounded
the scoreboard
read Danbury
71
and Marist
53.
High
man for Danbury
was Tom Gorman
with
24 points followed
by Bill Repp with
lo
and Jack Gregory
with
14.
Marist
was
paced by Tom Trojanowski
with 15, Fred
Weiss
with
13
and
"Bomber"
Romeo
with
10.
The Marist
cagers
now sport a
2
and
3 record
on the season;
however,
it is
this writer's
opinion
that
the picture
will change.
The club in sufferingthe
defeat looked
better
than they
have all
season
and had it been
any other
club
they· have played
thus
far
they. would
have walked
away with
a victory.
If
this is any hint of the kind of ball they
wil~
be playing
for the rest
of
th•.-
fear
my advice
to you is to come out and see
this
club
because
they
will
likely
be
pulling
some surprises.

The following
is the introduction
to an artic;:le by Dorothy
Barclay
appearing
in The New York Times
magazine
section
for January
7th.
"In many ahouseho~hrn"school-age
children
dwell,
the
excitement
of year-end
holidays
has no sooner
abated
than a new kind
of madness
erupts,
the madness
of term-end
'wrap-up'
time.
Suddenly
the heretofore
mindless
young remember
neglected
assignments
to be tracked
down and completed,
notebooks
to be put in order,
science
proje"ts
to finish--and
examinations
to prepare
for.
"Some--principally
the competent
or.the
not-too-much-caring--
take it in stride,
of course.
But many others
show unmistakable
symptoms
of tension.
11
The author
continues
by describing
the mental
anquish
suffered
by the student
and suggests,
as she must,
various
resolutions
of the
child's
anxiety.
But all that she prescribes
is meaningless,
for her
mentality
and perspective,
erupting
in the last sentence
quoted,
indicate
that she is speaking
of the incompetent.
The assurance
of the
author
that it is the competent
(and, of course,
the not-too-much-
caring;
the two in our increasing~y
isostatic
society
are being more
frequently
equated)
who is able to take the test "in stride"
should in
itself instill
in
the normal
person
experiencing
the normal
reactions
to normal
challenges
an irrational
fear_ that his :reactions
do mark
him
as an incompetent.
But the fact that Dorothy
Barclay
is contributing
to terrible,
terrible
traumas
which she is so nobly seeking
to soothe is of little
importanc~
when it is weighed
against
her knowledge.of
the nature
of tests.
Instead
of leading
a crusade
against
the forces
of evil who are trying
to badger,
irritate,
·stymie,
and crush
the child who-is powerless
against
such
overwhelming
odds,' the child who is certainly
incompetent
in this
:regard,
here understanding
and presentation
of tests_ as first,
a
fundamental
part of the educational
system;
and second,
as a factor
in a much larger
type of education,
as a challenge
to be met and
conquered.
Those who would attempt
to counsel
others
without
manifesting
a
degree
of understanding
of the fundamentals
of a subject
are fools.
Today reasons
have become
obscure
as we have receded
in
time from
the origination
of concepts.
To many men mankind
exists
to be
organized--the
State is master
of man--;
and understanding
of the
reason
for the State has been lost,
through
an inc:reasing·temporal
remoteness
of causes.
We on this campus
sense that sometimes
the
cause of law governing
us is lost sight of; that the ultimate
primacy
of the student
~n any college
is the one cause of all direction
given to
the college
and himself.
It is a distorted
view of man that solicits
the certain
sympathies
·
of the Dorothy
Barclays,
for it is a man fundamentally
unable
to
conquer
himself
or his exterior
that they
see.

To The
Editor:
Recently,
a student
here
at Marist
College
was stricken
with a serious
ill -
ness.
Al Williams,
a Junior,
is now re;:
covering
from,
major
surgery.
To help
Al on the road to recovery
the members
of the Junior
class
have inaugurated
the
Al Williams
Fund.
Each member
of the
Junior
Class
has
given
$5. 00, in
the
hope that
this
initial
impetous
will
set
the example
for the rest
of the school.
Sincemuchmore
surgery
will be neces-
sary to pull Al through
we know Al can
use all the help we can give him,
In order
that all who wish to may
give to this worthy
cause,
there
will be
envelopes
available
in the Student
Lounge
Monday,
Tuesday
and - Wednesday
of
this week.
The envelopes
may be re-
turned
to those distributing
them.
Any
and all contributions
will be gratefuliy
accepted.
It is up to the
individual
donor to decide
if he wishes
to sign the
envelope
or not.
The gift will be pre -
sented
in _the name
of Marist
College.
We Juniors
feel that
this
drive
can
serve
as an excellent
reminder
that we
do have a Blood Bank
and it does need
donors,
and it also serves
as an excel-
lent chance
for us to demonstrate
the
unity and brotherhood
that
is a part
of
Marist
College.

This letter
was written
before
the
results
of the freshman
election
were
known,
and regardless
of the outcome
let us go on record
as regarding
it as
a farce.
Let us here
recommend
Mr.
John
Christie
for
a
Pulitzer
Prize,
for indeed
he is
surely
deserving
of
one,
in lieu
of his
phenomenal
me -
mory.
For
indeed,
Mr.
John
Christie
could easily
recognize
every
voter,
thus prohibiting
the
possibility
of
some
slight,
less
than
honest,
character
from
voting
twice
or
three
or four- times.-
This
certainly
has
a
great
deal
to offer,
as
regards
the
futurf'. · reputation
of our
upright
and
honest
College.
~d
so,
as long as we are
in the
mood
to pass
out
accolades,
let us
commend
all
those
responsible
for
our knowing
of the election
an entire
day ahead
of time.
This
is indeed
conducive
to a thorough
soul
search-
ing.
And so,· in our first
official
stand,
let the under -signed
group
commend
all
.those responsible
for this perfectly
flaw-
less
election.
We look
fol'ward
to a
year,
almost
completely
free of-any
dis:-
astrous
events.

S3 To Danbury State
.
.
by TERENCE
MACKEN
The Marist
College
basketball
team
was beaten
by a very
strong
Danbury
State club at Danbury
last week.
The de -
feat was
by
no means
humiliating
to the
Marist
quintet
as the fans in attendance
can testify.
The Red Foxes,
although
outclassed
by the
Indians
fought
until
the final buzzer.
Thefirsthalf
saw Marist
get off to a
very
slow· start
and it was not until
the
ten minute mark that the club hit its sec-
ond field goal.
Danbury
on the
other
hand wasted
no time and jumped
off to a
quick fifteen
point lead with their
three
big men Jack
Gregory,
Tom
Gorman,
and Bill Repp
doing most
t:>f
the work.
When Marist
did begin
to hit,
the be.st
they could
do was just
match
the
In-
dians and the halftime
score
read

bury 38 a11d Marist

Seniors Elected
To Varsity Club
The Varsity
Club of Marist
College
announced
today
the acceptance
of five
seniors
into
the
Club.
Ordinarily,
membership
is· exclusive
to
students.
who have played
a
Varsity
sport.
Given
this
prerequisite
they
are
invited
to
join the Varsity
Club.
In this
instance,
however,
the Club
members
felt
that
the senior
class
bad no real opportunity
·
to participate
in intercollegiate
athleti':s
even though
they were
instrumental
m
bringing
intercollegiate
athletics
to
Marist.
The general·coneensus
of mem-
b'er
s was that Marist
could not have had.
Intercollegiate
Athletics
at this time with-·
out
the
enthusiasm
generated
by
the
seniors.
Those nominated
were:
Frank
Swetz,
James
Callahan,
Charles
Counsil,
Wil-
liam
Lenehan
and Tho!l1~!!_¥~~<irew.
'Contour

Up
Am~ric~,:;.Air
'Surveys Inc.,
of Pitts-
burgh,
Penn.,
has recently
made.an
aerial
survey of the College
and a large
contour
map of the
·campus
has been drawn.
This
map not only indicates
the position
and
size of the buildings
and roads
but also
the various
elevations
of the
ground.
The primary
purpose
of the map is
toaidinplanning
the future
construction
and development
on the
campus.
· At
present
the major
use of the map
is in
determining
the most
suitable
site for
the new athletic
·field
which will
con-
sist of a quarter-mile
track· surround-
ing a soccer
field.
Construction_
of the
field will begin this i::pring approximately
100 yards south of Donnelly
Hall· and it
.
will
be
availabiefor
football intramural&
and soccer
during the nest
scholastic
year.
Itis as yet undetermined
whether
it will ruii: in a north-south
or east-west·
direction
and the contour map is facili-
tating the judging of
which
site will re-
quire
the most
leveling
and filling.
The second
half was almost
a re -
peat performance
of the first
half
as
Danbury
pulled
aw.ay in the early
part
and built up a 28-point
lead.
The Foxes
put on a press
later
on in the half and
cut the Indians
lead
to 18.
Big
Fred
Weiss,
Tom
Trojanowski,
and
John
Romeo led the quintet
in the surge.
The
size of the Danbury
team
proved
to
be
the deciding
factor
in the
contest
as
they
controlled
the
boards
and
when
Dave Flynn and Weiss fouled out it was
all over but the shouting.
The last five minutes
saw the Marist
bench emptied
and a completely
new ball
club entered
the game.
This team
also
showed
the same
fight
as the
starting
five and definitely
held their
own.
When
the final buzzer
sounded
the scoreboard
read Danbury
71
and Marist
53.
High
man for Danbury
was Tom Gorman
with
24 points followed
by Bill Repp with
lo
and Jack Gregory
with
14.
Marist
was
paced by Tom Trojanowski
with 15, Fred
Weiss
with
13
and
"Bomber"
Romeo
with
10.
The Marist
cagers
now sport a
2
and
3 record
on the season;
however,
it is
this writer's
opinion
that
the picture
will change.
The club in sufferingthe
defeat looked
better
than they
have all
season
and had it been
any other
club
they· have played
thus
far
they. would
have walked
away with
a victory.
If
this is any hint of the kind of ball they
wil~
be playing
for the rest
of
th•.-
fear
my advice
to you is to come out and see
this
club
because
they
will
likely
be
pulling
some surprises.
