the
Bureau
of Educational
Research
at the
University
of Illinois.
and author
of two
textbooks
used here
at Marist,
was the
guest. speaker
at a lecture
sponsored
by
the Psychology
Department
on Wednes-
day evening,
February
Zlst.
The topic
of Dr.
Ausabel's
lecture
was
conform-
ity
to
peer
group norms
as an aspect
of
modern
urban
civilization.
For
this
p~se
he
presented
a
comparative
study
of the.
characteristics
of adoles-
cence
in New Zealand
and America.
Dr.
Ausabel
began
by pointmg
out
that the peer
group
is more
important
in urban
areas.than
in
rural
areas.
He
explained
that
the
major
personality
change
in
adolescence
is
desatelliza-
tion from
parents
accompanied
by a ten-
dency
to satellize
with
the peer
group.
The attributed
status
provided
by par -
ents is no longer
needed
as much as the
earned
status
which. the
home
usually
cannot
sufficiently
supply.
With pubes-
cence
come·s
increasing
pressure
on
youth
to control
hedonistic
tendencies
formore
important
long
range
goals.
Adolescents-
begin
to
place
greater
stress
on expediency
and ego enhance-
ment.
As
they
participate
in
older
peer
groups
in
which.
they
heip
to for-
mulate
laws,
a functional
rather
than
axiomatic
concept
of moral
law
de-
velops.
Since
the modern
urban
home
can
not usually
provide
for the earned
sta-
tus desired
by adolescents,
the adoles-
cent peer
group
is constituted
to pro-
vide it,
This is the only cultural
insti-
tution
where
youth's
position
is not
marginal;
here
they are equals
and here
they are trained,
The
peer
group
also
displace·s
parents
as the major
source
of attributed
status
during
adolescence.
The most
influential
force
in forming
the action
of adolescents
is
the
peer
group.
The peer
group
attempts
to make
itself
distinct
from
the
adult
society
which
will not accept
it.
In
order
to
present
a unified
front
all
members
must
conform.
Often,
however,
group
approval
giv.es one a feeling
that
tends
to keep him conforming
and ridicule
by
~eer
group
memoers
tend to diminish
unconformity
so much
that many
con-
form
more
than necessary.
We should
not.
however,
consider
the transfer
of allegiance
from
pa.rents
to peers
merely
a changing
of masters.
Adolescents
thus take a great
stride
to-
ward
emancipation.
The
peer
group
provides
approval
of moral
behavior
which
makes
the
adolescent
conscious
of expediency
and less
confined
to mere
axiomatic
acceptance.
On the whole,
though,
Dr.
Ausabel
pointed
out that
there
is less
room
for
deviance
in our
culture
now,
and
that
the safest
and most
respected
road
to
travel
is that of uncritical
subservience
of thought
as typified
in ~any
public
re-
lations
men.
administrators,
etc.
Five
reasons
were
given for uniqueness

sently

unwanted:
I) The overem-
phasisof
psychiatry
and psychology
on
the idea
that
introversion
is abnormal
Z) weakening
of morality
by many
psy:
chologists
who disclaim
moral
guilt
if
the basis
for the action
can be explain-
ed,
3) the
material
abundance
which
makes
many
satisfied
with the
"status
quo",
4)
the
clamp
on

which existed
around
the
time

trials

sonal freedoms,
and 5) the influence

A Statement
of Policy
With the increased
size of the newspaper,
and_especially
its
role afl a medium
of public_ expression
and communication
among
the students,
the "To the-editor"
column
has taken on an impor-
tance-held
only,
from the reader's
viewpoint,
by last year's
·"On
Campus';
feature.
The increased
attention
given to general
comment
from the student
body, and from the· reading
audience
at large
has brought
about the need for an enunciation
of The
Record's
policy
toward
unsolicited
critical
material.
--
Briefly,
letters
in good taste,
from any reader
of the news-
paper
who identifies
himself,
will be considered
for publication.
Anonymous
letters
will not be published;
however,
names
on
signed letters
will be withheld
upon req~est,
although
the
newspaper,
responsible
as it is to the school's
administration,
neither
has the intention
nor the desire
to conceal
from
the
administration
the authorship
of any letter
published
unsigned
or with a pseudonym.
This decision
the editorial
board
has
reached
solely
on its own, and is meant
to protect
the newspaper
from becoming
a springboard
for irrational
and irresponsible
invectives.
A letter
recently
received
by the edito:r,
and in fact,
literally
'.'slipped
under the door!',
by a person
identified
only as "a
lethargic
night student"
refers
to the last editorial
and reads
as follows:
From
whence
does Mr. Herbst
get the authority
to insult
and challenge
the student
body?
What
· has he done to show his own responsibility?
It
seems
to me that anyone who so brazenly
challenges
the responsibility
of his fellow
students
should
first
have the qualifications
to criticize.
To begin to answ_er the questions
raised
by "Lethargic",
and probably
asked by man.y others,
it may be pointed
out that
no one needs
authority
to insult
or challenge
--
what is
"Lethargic's"
authority.
However,
as an editor
of The Record,
Mr. Herbst
certainly
has the authority
to utilize
its editorial
space.
In showing
his own responsibility,
Mr. Herbst
can
exhibit
a record
of activity,
both curricular
and extra,
that
is second
to none.
At present,
in addition
to his duties
with
the newspaper,
he serves
as Gorrespon_ding
Secretary
to the
Student
Council,
president
of the Varsity
Club,
a-varsity
oarsman,
a former
varsity
basketball
player,
acting
delegate
to the NFGCS,
and a member
of the Fleur
de Lis.
The responsibility
of Mr. Herbst
is apparent;
that of
"Lethargic"
is not.
His anonymity
has destroyed
whatever
force his comment
could have had; the worthlessness
of this
letter
logically
explains
the pape·r' s position
on the- matter
of
anonymity.
Letters
and comment
will always
be encouraged
by the editors.
They are an essential
part of the service
that
a newspaper
performs
as an informer
of fact and a former
of
opinion.
THE RECORD
is published
every
Tuesday
of the school

of

To The
Editor:
As an individual
who attended
a
Catholic
College
for three
years,
and
who has in the past several
years
tried
to keep an awareness
of our
National
well-being,
I was floored
by the article
in your
February
13th
issue,
entitled
"What's
What?"
I would like to inform
you that you have excellent
material
on
your campus
in the personages
of M.
Faherty,
M. Laffin,
G. DeWitt
and P.
Bruno "for reporters
and columnists
for
Pravda
or the
Daily
Worker.
These
gentlemen
showed
a complete
lack
of
imagination,
foresight
and
sense
of
reality
in their
comments
on nuclear,
or total,
disarmament.
In
the first place,
the immediate
ob-
jective
of the Geneva
talks
is nuclear
disarmament.
Any
consideration
of
total.
disarmament
is
so
far
in the
future
that it is hardly
worth
consider-
ing in a "forum"
article
at this
time.
The above
mentioned
"scholars"
have
used
the old hackneyed
argument
that
the economy
of the U.S.
is a war
eco-
nomy that depends
on continual
defense
spending.
It sounds
like
they
were
quoting Marx,
Lenin
and Stalin,
not to
mention
Castro
and Khrushchev.
I hope these
gentlemen
are not say'-
ing that they
cannot
think
of anything
else
our -government
could
spend
its
money on.
Outside
of tbe fact
that
de-
fense
spending
is running
the U.S.
debt
ceilin·g
up and
up until
conservatives
fear the roof will fall in, defense
spend-
ing has
not
spurr!='d
the
economy
as
much as many would believe.
Certain-
ly nationwide
urban
renewal
programs
would do as much ••• so would
accelera-
ted space exploration
••• so would an all-
out attack
on disease.
These
are just
three
projects
which
would
s_erve hu-
manity
much more
than nuclear
stock-
piling.
Now from these
remarks,
you might
gather
that I am a pacifist.
Not
so.
Not at all.
I, too, am opposed
to nuc-
lear disarmament,
but for an entirely
different
reason.
I don't
for a minute
believe
our economy
would
collapse
if
we discontinued
our high defense
spenc'.-
ing, because,
as I said,
there
are
too
many
other
worthwhile
projects
into
which
the
economy-spurring
revenue
could be channeled.
My
reason
for objection
to nuclear
disarmament
was
stated
very
clearly
ina column
some months
ago by George
E. Sokolsky,
who writes
"These
Days"
for King Features
Syndicate.
I don't
recall
the
exact quote ••• but
it
went
something
like this:
If
complete
nuc-
lear disarmament
••• with an acceptable
enforcement
clause ••• was
achieved,
what
would
prevent
Red
China
from
sweeping
the
world
with
bayonets?
Think it over.
A. R. Robitaille
Woodstock,
N. Y.
Feb.
2.7, 1962.
To the editor
(cont'd.)
"Would a total disarming
injure
the
United States?
If
so, how?
11
This ques --
tion,
which
is of primary
importance
today,
was well raised
in
the
February
13th issue
of The Record,
Economically,
the
effects
of dis-
armament·
would be great.
Considering
that approximately
1
/Z
the national
bud-
get or $46 billion
is spent
on defense,
disarmament
is
not·
feasible
without
planning.
But,
is our
economic
system
s~s -
tained
beyond
hope
by these
massive
outlays?
If this expense
were
removed
would
our
economic
structure
collapse
like a pyramid
of playing
cards?
This fear
that the U,S,
economy
is
dependent
upon defense
spending
is re-
inforced
by the fluctuations
in the stock
market
every
time another
sputnik
goes
over head or there
is another
postpone-
ment of testing
due to inclement
weather.
And
certainly
this
situation
has
other
ramifications
on the internation-
al scene.
What is a foreign
country
to
think when the economy
of one of its s0 -
called
neighbors
is so dependent
on de -
fense
expenditures
for
its
existence?
But,
I think
the U.S.
could
bring
about
this
transition.
For
example,
between
1945 and 1947 there
was a
re-
duction
in arms
spending
from $80
bil-
lion to $14 billion.
The prices
of com-
modities
has almost
doubled
since
then
so that
the
real
reduction
was about
Z 1 /2
times
the
present
total
defense
expenditures.
.
Certainly
this
transition
would
not
be an easy
one but it is certainly
fea-
sible if there
is forethought
on the part
of .the government.
Joseph
Brennen
Our congratulations
to Mr.
Herbst,
at last
someone
has unmasked
the can-
cer which has
stifled
student
initiative
and which has cultivated
a climate,
any-
thing but collegiate.
We, generally
speaking,
have
cho-
sennotto
teach but to learn ••• academi-
cally,
socially,
physically
and spiritu-
ally.
Does Marist
afford
a well
round-
ed education?
We
say
yes!
-with
limitations.
Why?
Because
here
at
Marist
College
we learn
how to think
but we are not given a chance
to imple-
ment our thinking
with some kind of re -
sponsible
action.
If
initiative
was intel-
ligently
received
the
present
fifteen
percent
would soon approach
the ideal.
In any collegiate
institution,
new or old,
large
or small,
one finds
an ambitious
nucleus,
these
lead
the indifferent
and
the apathetic
follow.
However,
in this
"liberal
arts"
institution
the
leaders
find themselves
hampered
by our
"pro-
gressive
guides,"
T,HE RECORD
To the editor
(cont'd.)
Mister
Herbst
speaks
of irresponsi-
bility
in his editorial.
But does
domi-
nance
breed
responsibility?
We
say
no!.
To support
our case
we would like
to
cite
some
outstanding
examples.
1.
Why was the
sophomore
class
so
hampered
in trying
to• bring
a controver-
sial speaker
on campus.
Controversy
belongs
on a college
campus.
(Aren't
they responsible
enough?)
Z,
Why
did the
administration
feel
that
the
students
weren
1
t responsible
enough
to throw
a,
Christmas
party,
which· we might
add was a most
suc-
cessful
social
event,
even though
the
students
themselves
did
run
it after
much petty quibbling.
3.
Why wasn't
the Booster
Club noti-
fied before
their
dance
that they needed
a liquor
permit.
Did they
need
it?
4.
Why was the Varsity
Club
refused
the date
of February
9th for
a mixer
when the Seniors
requested
the date
of
February
10th without
even having
ob-
tained
a hall.
Which as a matter
of in-
terest
fell through.
Par for the course?
5,
If a student
or the student
body wish
to appeal,
who can they appeal
to?
For
to appeal
to the Student
Council
is to ap-
peal to the Administration.
6.
How can you expect
spirit
on the
part
of students
when the
coach
sup-
presses
the spirit
of the players.
7.
Why is it that every
time a group
of
students
try
to organize
a dance
or
ss,cial
function
for
student
enjoyment
they place
their
enrollment
in jeopardy?
We feel
that
in order
for
Marist
College
students
to be true
college
stu-
dents
they must
be given
the opportu-
nity
to actualize
what
they
learn
into
responsible
action
and
not
constantly
walk in the shadow
of quasi-responsibi-
lity.
The Fifteen
Percent
As one of "The
15%" who wrote
the
above letter
I would like to take this
op-
portunity
to clear
my position.
I do not
suggest
that there
is need for the aban-
donment
of authority
or
regulations.
On the contrary
I believe
that this neces -
sary for the society
which we choose
to
place
ourselves.
As mature
men
I
be-
lieve
we have
the intelligence
and
re -
sponsibility
capable
of mature
action,
What I object
to
is the regimentation
of
our
actions
concerning,
for
example,
study,
extra-curricular
time,
the
seemly
lack of faith
of college
officials
in their
own students.
I sincerely
be-
lieve
that
by the
time
a student
has
reached
his junior
or senior
year
that
it be taken for granted
that he is mature
enough
to be capable
of unrestricted
responsible
action.

To the editor
(cont'd,)
The editorial
of February
13,
1962
said " ••• the intramural
program
is on
the verge
of collapse",
This
statement
i
is false.
The intramural
program
is
on the verge
of success.
Here
are
the
, facts.
The touch football
schedule
was
hin-'
dered
by two main
setbacks
which
were
a late start
and a few rainy
days,
Nev-
ertheless,
a majority
of the
students
who signed
up for the sport
did partici-
pate in the games.
This is a fact.
We had a succesi;;ful
track
meet
a
couple
of months
ago.
Another
meet
willprobablybe
scheduled
in the spring.
Bowling
was initiated
into the intra-
mural
program
despite
the
lack of
_bowlers.
Brother
William
knew
that
this sport
would
probably
suffer
in the
beginning,
There
are
solid
facts
to
confirm
this
judgment.
We
have
a
petite
student
body of 250.
The major-
ity are day-hops
who commute
from as
far north
as Kingston,
as far
south
as
Peekskill,
as far east as Hopewell
Junc-
tion,
and as
far
west
as
Newburgh.
These
students
cannot
participate
in
bowling
because
it ,takes
place
after
school
and
it
takes
place
a few
miles
off campus.
Ninety
resident
students
are not a significant
number
to support
a six
team
bowling
league.
Bowling
was started
with an eye for the future
when the Red Foxes
can boast
of a stu-
dent body that is in the thousands,
Finally,
the
intramural
basketball
program
is the most astonishing
of all.
Four
games
have been completed
as of
February
14th.
I personally
have view-
ed wholes
and
parts
of
these
high
. spirited
games.
Participation
is lOOo/o,
Brother
William
has made
a check
to
see
if
the students
who signed
up for
this
sport
are
participating.
The
re-
sults
are affirmative.
Although
the intramural
program
is
not 100% successful,
nevertheless,
I am
positive
that it is on the verge
pf suc-
cess,
The facts
confirm
this statement,
Bill McIntyre
Student
Moderator
of
Intramurals
-You
state
that
the Intramural
pro-
gram is on the "verge
of success".
Ob-
viously
you agree
with me that
it has
not reached
success.
Even
though
you have
posited
this
statement,
you
defend
the
absolute
failure
of the football
program
by
ra-
tionalizing
it into
atmospheric
condi-
tions.
There
were four
games
a week:
would a few rainy
days
account
for the
FACT that there
were only enough
men
for two complete
teams
to be fielded
(8 men each) on several
occasions?
It may very well be that
a majority
of those
who signed
up did play
intra-
mural
football:
Would it be impertinent

children

also the town,

four reasons
are facts.
This
is a depressing
picture
of America.
It might be suspected
that New Zea-
land,
a liberal
welfare
state,
would
be
radically
different
in its trend
of con-
formity.
However,
liberal,
non-con-
formist
thinking
is even
less
respec-
table in New Zealand.
There
the situa-
tion is a result
of a very authoritive
at-
mosphere
on the
part
of the
adults.
Parents
and teachers
are
very
strict
and authoritive.
Discipline
is
sought
for itself.
There
is a very
harsh
at-
mosphere
in which
self-discipline
is
not promoted.
There
is a very wide
social
distance
between
children
·
and
adults.
There
is no liberalization
to
meet
changing
needs,
In America
the
secondary
schools
almost
bring
the
teacher
and children
to the same
level;
in New Zealand,
the secondary
schools
widen the gap between
the teacher
and
pupil.
Unlike
the American
who overcon-
forms
for expediency,
the adolescent
New Zealander
seems
to believe
in the
sup·eriority
of his
elders.
However,
when the New Zealand
adolescent
does
tasts
freedom
he often goes "hog-wild".
Insufficient
tr'ainiug
in self-discipline
makes
them feel
justified
in breaking
unenforcible
rules.
Many of New Zea-
land's
youth bear a resemblance
to our
"beatniks"
except
that the former
are
younger,
more
aggressive,
and
less
intellectual.

Faculty Tops Varsity
Club
66-56
in
Baslcetball Contest
by WALTER
HERBST
A
frenzied
crowd
exhuberantly
cheered
the faculty
to a smooth
victory
over
the
Varsity
Club
last
Saturday
night
in the Marist
gym,
to the score
of 66-56.
The
Varsity
Club
dropped
in the
first two points
of the game but the "old
boys"
retaliated
quickly
to tie
up the
score.
Astonishingly
enought,
the
youngsters
never
again
kept
up
with
the spirited
faculty
club,
The Varsity
Club players
were
in a state
of shock
as
the
minutes
ticked
away
and
the
faculty
ran them
ragged,
The
faculty
certainly
deserves
a great
deal
of cre-
dit for their
-performance.
They
show-
ed an amazing
endurance
thr.oughout
the
game
and the spirit
was bubbling
over
into the crowd.
Individual
scoring
honors
went
to
Ed Skiko of the faculty.
He was
strong-
ly backed up by Brother
Kevin Donaghue,
"Hungry"
Hooper,
"Sauntering"
Som-
mer,
"OK"
Thomas,
"Handy"
Brother
Andrew
and ''Romping"
Brother
Ronald
who also contributed
greatly
to the vic-
tory.
The Varsity
Club
mainstays
were
Denny
Tierney
and
Tom
McAndrew,
WaltHerbst,
Dan Verrico,
Jim Pizzani,
Phil Bruno
and Gary
Smith also
saw a
great
deal of action.
It
was a very
hilarious
and enjoy-
able
game
and we all are
looking
for -
ward
to
another
series
of "fac.ulty
frolics"
next season.
Brother
Daniel
Kirk,
the
host
of the
lecture,
was
forced
to terminate
the
gathering.
One of the questions,
raised
by Jim Coombs,
was to ask whether
the
conformity
of individuals
to a
group
such
as
an
administrative
group in
which no one wished
to be unique
alone
did not
often
lead
to "brainstorming"
tactics
which often bring
original
ideas
out.
Dr. Ausabel
tended
to agree
with
this observation.
Another
very interes-
ting question
raised
by Dr.
Ausabel
's
statements
conc.erning
a_cademic
free-
dom in colleges
and universities.
Dr.
Balch asked
if there
had been_
any· em-
pirical
study
made
of the
actuality
of
academic
freedom
in large
educational
institutions.
Dr. Balch added that from
his own personal
experiences
he found
the atmosphere
at large
state
univer-
sities
very
conforming
as compared
to
the "intellectual
Donnybrook"
he found
at a small
liberal
arts
college,
These
and the other
numerous
questions
and
observations
reflected
the
intellectual
stimulation
caused
by the lecture.

Mr.

To lhe editor
(cont'd.)
to ask how many
signea
up out of 250?
If
100 signed
up and 51 played,
you do
indeed
have
a right
to say a majority
played,
51% is a majority
but
not a
success,
The Don House,
football
champions,
faced two complete
teams
(the first
two
games);
the
remammg
games
were·
played
with as few as 12 men,
out of the
required
16, on the field,
For
the last
two games,
.no
one showed
up at all,
Were
the
opponents
awe-struck
at the
pseudo-might
of the
champions?
I'll
take eight men to six men any day.
You
sp.eak
of a successful
track
meet!
Ten partkipants
out of
·250
is
hardly
success.
They
were
supposed
to receive
a prize
of some
kind
for
their
efforts,
As yet,
they haven't
re -
ceived.them,
Thfs is a fact,
You have
an excellent
point
on the
issue
of bowling,
However,
as you
im;
ply through
your rationalization,
it wfr,
not be a success
for years,
·
You also
state
that
the majority
of
students
are from
Kingsto~,
Peekskill,
Hopewell
Junction,
and Newburgh.
You
fail
to mention
that
some
students
do
live
in Poughkeepsie;
A_nd that
there
areninety-five
resident
students.
It
is
·not
a fact
that there
are
ninety
re -
sid~~t student,
Mr, McIntyre.
Howmany
other
"facts"
have
you checked?
My
point is that there
are forty-five
stu-
dents residing
in the Poughkeepsie
area,
Mayl
also ask why the resident
stu-
dents
should have to support
a six team
bowling
league?
My point is that the
day students
are,
in fact,
more
lethar-
gic than
dorm
students,
I might also
add that the dorm
students
are
rigidly
restricted
as
far
as
transportation
goes.
The day hops
must
have
a ride
to get to school;
what
is their
problem
in relation
to transportation
for
bowl-
ing?
THE RECORD
literary
Club
Postpones
Quarterly
The Literary
·club
has
decided
not
to publish a winter
issue
of the Quarter-
ly.
The reason
for
this
is a general
lack of interest
on the part
of the stu-
dent body,
The Editorial
Board
reluc-
tantly
acunitted
that an issue
was
not
feasible
because
there
were
not enough
sub.missions
of acceptable
quality.
The
Board
believes
that
it is better
not to
publi_sh a Quarterly
at all rather
than
print
an inferior
journal,
The Club has
altered
its plans
and
will publish
the Quarterly
in May.
The
articles
submitted
for the winter
issue
will
be considered
for
this
issue,
as
well as any nevi material.
The
spring
issue
will
feature
the
best
original
writings
that the students
of Marist
Col-
lege
have
composed
during
the
school
year.
The Editorial
Board
stated
that sev-
eral
lengthy
prose
pieces
are
needed.
An essay
and a short
story
of at least
ten pages
each
are
necessary
to com-
plete
the issue.
Submissions
of other
literary
types
will also
be considered.
Articles
may be given
to Mr.
Sommer
or left in the publications
room.
Another
fact
is that
the Intramural
basketball
program
had not as yet star-
ted three
weeks
late
when the editorial
was written,
The article
had been
sub-
mitted
weeks
before
it appeared
in the
paper
simply
because
the paper
is not
printed
during
semester
break.
You say the facts
confirm
the state-
ment that the intramural
program
is on
the verge
of success,
Wh~re do_YOU get
·your
facts?
Do you sincerely
thmk
that
because
the basketball
program
has not
had any forfeits
in its first
two and one
half weeks,
that it is a success?
Do
you feel that because
five men
show up
for a team,
·participation
is 100%,
Four
men present
means
a forfeit
for a team
--Success?
I think
perhaps
you mean
(by the st'!:tement
11
I have viewed
wholes
and parts
of these
high
spirited
games,
Participation
is
l0Oo/o) that
lOOo/o of
thob~ playing
are
participating
and I
must agree
with you on that point
since
you certainly
oouldn't
mean
that
100%
of each
team
is participating,
There
are about thirty
men in each house
and
I think the .floor would be awfully
crowd-
ed.
Finally
may I quote you --
Decem-
ber
14th at approximately
Z:30
P. M,
When discussing
with you whether
1
as
President
of the Varsity
Club could
ob-
tain
·from
you a schedule
of Intramural

games
in order
that I might
make
up a schedule
for
referees
you
said
"We may not have
basketball
be-
cause , Brother
William
is so dissatis-
fied with the football
program.
No guys
showed up, you know,
So I don't
know;
I can't make

Ph.D.•
presently
associated
with
the
Bureau
of Educational
Research
at the
University
of Illinois.
and author
of two
textbooks
used here
at Marist,
was the
guest. speaker
at a lecture
sponsored
by
the Psychology
Department
on Wednes-
day evening,
February
Zlst.
The topic
of Dr.
Ausabel's
lecture
was
conform-
ity
to
peer
group norms
as an aspect
of
modern
urban
civilization.
For
this
p~se
he
presented
a
comparative
study
of the.
characteristics
of adoles-
cence
in New Zealand
and America.
Dr.
Ausabel
began
by pointmg
out
that the peer
group
is more
important
in urban
areas.than
in
rural
areas.
He
explained
that
the
major
personality
change
in
adolescence
is
desatelliza-
tion from
parents
accompanied
by a ten-
dency
to satellize
with
the peer
group.
The attributed
status
provided
by par -
ents is no longer
needed
as much as the
earned
status
which. the
home
usually
cannot
sufficiently
supply.
With pubes-
cence
come·s
increasing
pressure
on
youth
to control
hedonistic
tendencies
formore
important
long
range
goals.
Adolescents-
begin
to
place
greater
stress
on expediency
and ego enhance-
ment.
As
they
participate
in
older
peer
groups
in
which.
they
heip
to for-
mulate
laws,
a functional
rather
than
axiomatic
concept
of moral
law
de-
velops.
Since
the modern
urban
home
can
not usually
provide
for the earned
sta-
tus desired
by adolescents,
the adoles-
cent peer
group
is constituted
to pro-
vide it,
This is the only cultural
insti-
tution
where
youth's
position
is not
marginal;
here
they are equals
and here
they are trained,
The
peer
group
also
displace·s
parents
as the major
source
of attributed
status
during
adolescence.
The most
influential
force
in forming
the action
of adolescents
is
the
peer
group.
The peer
group
attempts
to make
itself
distinct
from
the
adult
society
which
will not accept
it.
In
order
to
present
a unified
front
all
members
must
conform.
Often,
however,
group
approval
giv.es one a feeling
that
tends
to keep him conforming
and ridicule
by
~eer
group
memoers
tend to diminish
unconformity
so much
that many
con-
form
more
than necessary.
We should
not.
however,
consider
the transfer
of allegiance
from
pa.rents
to peers
merely
a changing
of masters.
Adolescents
thus take a great
stride
to-
ward
emancipation.
The
peer
group
provides
approval
of moral
behavior
which
makes
the
adolescent
conscious
of expediency
and less
confined
to mere
axiomatic
acceptance.
On the whole,
though,
Dr.
Ausabel
pointed
out that
there
is less
room
for
deviance
in our
culture
now,
and
that
the safest
and most
respected
road
to
travel
is that of uncritical
subservience
of thought
as typified
in ~any
public
re-
lations
men.
administrators,
etc.
Five
reasons
were
given for uniqueness

sently
being
unwanted:
I) The overem-
phasisof
psychiatry
and psychology
on
the idea
that
introversion
is abnormal
Z) weakening
of morality
by many
psy:
chologists
who disclaim
moral
guilt
if
the basis
for the action
can be explain-
ed,
3) the
material
abundance
which
makes
many
satisfied
with the
"status
quo",
4)
the
clamp
on
communism
which existed
around
the
time
of
the
McCarthy
trials

many
per-
sonal freedoms,
and 5) the influence

A Statement
of Policy
With the increased
size of the newspaper,
and_especially
its
role afl a medium
of public_ expression
and communication
among
the students,
the "To the-editor"
column
has taken on an impor-
tance-held
only,
from the reader's
viewpoint,
by last year's
·"On
Campus';
feature.
The increased
attention
given to general
comment
from the student
body, and from the· reading
audience
at large
has brought
about the need for an enunciation
of The
Record's
policy
toward
unsolicited
critical
material.
--
Briefly,
letters
in good taste,
from any reader
of the news-
paper
who identifies
himself,
will be considered
for publication.
Anonymous
letters
will not be published;
however,
names
on
signed letters
will be withheld
upon req~est,
although
the
newspaper,
responsible
as it is to the school's
administration,
neither
has the intention
nor the desire
to conceal
from
the
administration
the authorship
of any letter
published
unsigned
or with a pseudonym.
This decision
the editorial
board
has
reached
solely
on its own, and is meant
to protect
the newspaper
from becoming
a springboard
for irrational
and irresponsible
invectives.
A letter
recently
received
by the edito:r,
and in fact,
literally
'.'slipped
under the door!',
by a person
identified
only as "a
lethargic
night student"
refers
to the last editorial
and reads
as follows:
From
whence
does Mr. Herbst
get the authority
to insult
and challenge
the student
body?
What
· has he done to show his own responsibility?
It
seems
to me that anyone who so brazenly
challenges
the responsibility
of his fellow
students
should
first
have the qualifications
to criticize.
To begin to answ_er the questions
raised
by "Lethargic",
and probably
asked by man.y others,
it may be pointed
out that
no one needs
authority
to insult
or challenge
--
what is
"Lethargic's"
authority.
However,
as an editor
of The Record,
Mr. Herbst
certainly
has the authority
to utilize
its editorial
space.
In showing
his own responsibility,
Mr. Herbst
can
exhibit
a record
of activity,
both curricular
and extra,
that
is second
to none.
At present,
in addition
to his duties
with
the newspaper,
he serves
as Gorrespon_ding
Secretary
to the
Student
Council,
president
of the Varsity
Club,
a-varsity
oarsman,
a former
varsity
basketball
player,
acting
delegate
to the NFGCS,
and a member
of the Fleur
de Lis.
The responsibility
of Mr. Herbst
is apparent;
that of
"Lethargic"
is not.
His anonymity
has destroyed
whatever
force his comment
could have had; the worthlessness
of this
letter
logically
explains
the pape·r' s position
on the- matter
of
anonymity.
Letters
and comment
will always
be encouraged
by the editors.
They are an essential
part of the service
that
a newspaper
performs
as an informer
of fact and a former
of
opinion.
THE RECORD
is published
every
Tuesday
of the school
year,
exclusive
of
vacation
and examination
periods,
by the students
of...Marist
College.

To The
Editor:
As an individual
who attended
a
Catholic
College
for three
years,
and
who has in the past several
years
tried
to keep an awareness
of our
National
well-being,
I was floored
by the article
in your
February
13th
issue,
entitled
"What's
What?"
I would like to inform
you that you have excellent
material
on
your campus
in the personages
of M.
Faherty,
M. Laffin,
G. DeWitt
and P.
Bruno "for reporters
and columnists
for
Pravda
or the
Daily
Worker.
These
gentlemen
showed
a complete
lack
of
imagination,
foresight
and
sense
of
reality
in their
comments
on nuclear,
or total,
disarmament.
In
the first place,
the immediate
ob-
jective
of the Geneva
talks
is nuclear
disarmament.
Any
consideration
of
total.
disarmament
is
so
far
in the
future
that it is hardly
worth
consider-
ing in a "forum"
article
at this
time.
The above
mentioned
"scholars"
have
used
the old hackneyed
argument
that
the economy
of the U.S.
is a war
eco-
nomy that depends
on continual
defense
spending.
It sounds
like
they
were
quoting Marx,
Lenin
and Stalin,
not to
mention
Castro
and Khrushchev.
I hope these
gentlemen
are not say'-
ing that they
cannot
think
of anything
else
our -government
could
spend
its
money on.
Outside
of tbe fact
that
de-
fense
spending
is running
the U.S.
debt
ceilin·g
up and
up until
conservatives
fear the roof will fall in, defense
spend-
ing has
not
spurr!='d
the
economy
as
much as many would believe.
Certain-
ly nationwide
urban
renewal
programs
would do as much ••• so would
accelera-
ted space exploration
••• so would an all-
out attack
on disease.
These
are just
three
projects
which
would
s_erve hu-
manity
much more
than nuclear
stock-
piling.
Now from these
remarks,
you might
gather
that I am a pacifist.
Not
so.
Not at all.
I, too, am opposed
to nuc-
lear disarmament,
but for an entirely
different
reason.
I don't
for a minute
believe
our economy
would
collapse
if
we discontinued
our high defense
spenc'.-
ing, because,
as I said,
there
are
too
many
other
worthwhile
projects
into
which
the
economy-spurring
revenue
could be channeled.
My
reason
for objection
to nuclear
disarmament
was
stated
very
clearly
ina column
some months
ago by George
E. Sokolsky,
who writes
"These
Days"
for King Features
Syndicate.
I don't
recall
the
exact quote ••• but
it
went
something
like this:
If
complete
nuc-
lear disarmament
••• with an acceptable
enforcement
clause ••• was
achieved,
what
would
prevent
Red
China
from
sweeping
the
world
with
bayonets?
Think it over.
A. R. Robitaille
Woodstock,
N. Y.
Feb.
2.7, 1962.
To the editor
(cont'd.)
"Would a total disarming
injure
the
United States?
If
so, how?
11
This ques --
tion,
which
is of primary
importance
today,
was well raised
in
the
February
13th issue
of The Record,
Economically,
the
effects
of dis-
armament·
would be great.
Considering
that approximately
1
/Z
the national
bud-
get or $46 billion
is spent
on defense,
disarmament
is
not·
feasible
without
planning.
But,
is our
economic
system
s~s -
tained
beyond
hope
by these
massive
outlays?
If this expense
were
removed
would
our
economic
structure
collapse
like a pyramid
of playing
cards?
This fear
that the U,S,
economy
is
dependent
upon defense
spending
is re-
inforced
by the fluctuations
in the stock
market
every
time another
sputnik
goes
over head or there
is another
postpone-
ment of testing
due to inclement
weather.
And
certainly
this
situation
has
other
ramifications
on the internation-
al scene.
What is a foreign
country
to
think when the economy
of one of its s0 -
called
neighbors
is so dependent
on de -
fense
expenditures
for
its
existence?
But,
I think
the U.S.
could
bring
about
this
transition.
For
example,
between
1945 and 1947 there
was a
re-
duction
in arms
spending
from $80
bil-
lion to $14 billion.
The prices
of com-
modities
has almost
doubled
since
then
so that
the
real
reduction
was about
Z 1 /2
times
the
present
total
defense
expenditures.
.
Certainly
this
transition
would
not
be an easy
one but it is certainly
fea-
sible if there
is forethought
on the part
of .the government.
Joseph
Brennen
Our congratulations
to Mr.
Herbst,
at last
someone
has unmasked
the can-
cer which has
stifled
student
initiative
and which has cultivated
a climate,
any-
thing but collegiate.
We, generally
speaking,
have
cho-
sennotto
teach but to learn ••• academi-
cally,
socially,
physically
and spiritu-
ally.
Does Marist
afford
a well
round-
ed education?
We
say
yes!
-with
limitations.
Why?
Because
here
at
Marist
College
we learn
how to think
but we are not given a chance
to imple-
ment our thinking
with some kind of re -
sponsible
action.
If
initiative
was intel-
ligently
received
the
present
fifteen
percent
would soon approach
the ideal.
In any collegiate
institution,
new or old,
large
or small,
one finds
an ambitious
nucleus,
these
lead
the indifferent
and
the apathetic
follow.
However,
in this
"liberal
arts"
institution
the
leaders
find themselves
hampered
by our
"pro-
gressive
guides,"
T,HE RECORD
To the editor
(cont'd.)
Mister
Herbst
speaks
of irresponsi-
bility
in his editorial.
But does
domi-
nance
breed
responsibility?
We
say
no!.
To support
our case
we would like
to
cite
some
outstanding
examples.
1.
Why was the
sophomore
class
so
hampered
in trying
to• bring
a controver-
sial speaker
on campus.
Controversy
belongs
on a college
campus.
(Aren't
they responsible
enough?)
Z,
Why
did the
administration
feel
that
the
students
weren
1
t responsible
enough
to throw
a,
Christmas
party,
which· we might
add was a most
suc-
cessful
social
event,
even though
the
students
themselves
did
run
it after
much petty quibbling.
3.
Why wasn't
the Booster
Club noti-
fied before
their
dance
that they needed
a liquor
permit.
Did they
need
it?
4.
Why was the Varsity
Club
refused
the date
of February
9th for
a mixer
when the Seniors
requested
the date
of
February
10th without
even having
ob-
tained
a hall.
Which as a matter
of in-
terest
fell through.
Par for the course?
5,
If a student
or the student
body wish
to appeal,
who can they appeal
to?
For
to appeal
to the Student
Council
is to ap-
peal to the Administration.
6.
How can you expect
spirit
on the
part
of students
when the
coach
sup-
presses
the spirit
of the players.
7.
Why is it that every
time a group
of
students
try
to organize
a dance
or
ss,cial
function
for
student
enjoyment
they place
their
enrollment
in jeopardy?
We feel
that
in order
for
Marist
College
students
to be true
college
stu-
dents
they must
be given
the opportu-
nity
to actualize
what
they
learn
into
responsible
action
and
not
constantly
walk in the shadow
of quasi-responsibi-
lity.
The Fifteen
Percent
As one of "The
15%" who wrote
the
above letter
I would like to take this
op-
portunity
to clear
my position.
I do not
suggest
that there
is need for the aban-
donment
of authority
or
regulations.
On the contrary
I believe
that this neces -
sary for the society
which we choose
to
place
ourselves.
As mature
men
I
be-
lieve
we have
the intelligence
and
re -
sponsibility
capable
of mature
action,
What I object
to
is the regimentation
of
our
actions
concerning,
for
example,
study,
extra-curricular
time,
the
seemly
lack of faith
of college
officials
in their
own students.
I sincerely
be-
lieve
that
by the
time
a student
has
reached
his junior
or senior
year
that
it be taken for granted
that he is mature
enough
to be capable
of unrestricted
responsible
action.

To the editor
(cont'd,)
The editorial
of February
13,
1962
said " ••• the intramural
program
is on
the verge
of collapse",
This
statement
i
is false.
The intramural
program
is
on the verge
of success.
Here
are
the
, facts.
The touch football
schedule
was
hin-'
dered
by two main
setbacks
which
were
a late start
and a few rainy
days,
Nev-
ertheless,
a majority
of the
students
who signed
up for the sport
did partici-
pate in the games.
This is a fact.
We had a succesi;;ful
track
meet
a
couple
of months
ago.
Another
meet
willprobablybe
scheduled
in the spring.
Bowling
was initiated
into the intra-
mural
program
despite
the
lack of
_bowlers.
Brother
William
knew
that
this sport
would
probably
suffer
in the
beginning,
There
are
solid
facts
to
confirm
this
judgment.
We
have
a
petite
student
body of 250.
The major-
ity are day-hops
who commute
from as
far north
as Kingston,
as far

The
re-
sults
are affirmative.
Although
the intramural
program
is
not 100% successful,
nevertheless,
I am
positive
that it is on the verge
pf suc-
cess,
The facts
confirm
this statement,
Bill McIntyre
Student
Moderator
of
Intramurals
-You
state
that
the Intramural
pro-
gram is on the "verge
of success".
Ob-
viously
you agree
with me that
it has
not reached
success.
Even
though
you have
posited
this
statement,
you
defend
the
absolute
failure
of the football
program
by
ra-
tionalizing
it into
atmospheric
condi-
tions.
There
were four
games
a week:
would a few rainy
days
account
for the
FACT that there
were only enough
men
for two complete
teams
to be fielded
(8 men each) on several
occasions?
It may very well be that
a majority
of those
who signed
up did play
intra-
mural
football:

Shown
by
Ffeur
delis
On February
20th the film "Passion
For Life"
was shown to.a group of stu-
dents whose
main
interests
were
Psy-
chology
and French.
The
film
which
was in French
with English
sub-titles
dealt
with the
Psychological
problems
which
a
teacher
with
modern
ideas
faces
in trying
to teach
school
in
a
small
French
town.
It showed
how he
dealt
with
the
problem
children
and
also the town,
which was very
wary
of
his new methods
of teaching,
The film
however,
ends with the innovator
resol-
ving most
of his problems
and teaching
the way he feels
is best.
The
movie
shown
to a group
of about
35 students
was
acclaimed
as
being
a fine
film
bringing
out a problem
which
is
often
encountered
by many
people
when
they
try to present
new ideas.

four reasons
are facts.
This
is a depressing
picture
of America.
It might be suspected
that New Zea-
land,
a liberal
welfare
state,
would
be
radically
different
in its trend
of con-
formity.
However,
liberal,
non-con-
formist
thinking
is even
less
respec-
table in New Zealand.
There
the situa-
tion is a result
of a very authoritive
at-
mosphere
on the
part
of the
adults.
Parents
and teachers
are
very
strict
and authoritive.
Discipline
is
sought
for itself.
There
is a very
harsh
at-
mosphere
in which
self-discipline
is
not promoted.
There
is a very wide
social
distance
between
children
·
and
adults.
There
is no liberalization
to
meet
changing
needs,
In America
the
secondary
schools
almost
bring
the
teacher
and children
to the same
level;
in New Zealand,
the secondary
schools
widen the gap between
the teacher
and
pupil.
Unlike
the American
who overcon-
forms
for expediency,
the adolescent
New Zealander
seems
to believe
in the
sup·eriority
of his
elders.
However,
when the New Zealand
adolescent
does
tasts
freedom
he often goes "hog-wild".
Insufficient
tr'ainiug
in self-discipline
makes
them feel
justified
in breaking
unenforcible
rules.
Many of New Zea-
land's
youth bear a resemblance
to our
"beatniks"
except
that the former
are
younger,
more
aggressive,
and
less
intellectual.

Faculty Tops Varsity
Club
66-56
in
Baslcetball Contest
by WALTER
HERBST
A
frenzied
crowd
exhuberantly
cheered
the faculty
to a smooth
victory
over
the
Varsity
Club
last
Saturday
night
in the Marist
gym,
to the score
of 66-56.
The
Varsity
Club
dropped
in the
first two points
of the game but the "old
boys"
retaliated
quickly
to tie
up the
score.
Astonishingly
enought,
the
youngsters
never
again
kept
up
with
the spirited
faculty
club,
The Varsity
Club players
were
in a state
of shock
as
the
minutes
ticked
away
and
the
faculty
ran them
ragged,
The
faculty
certainly
deserves
a great
deal
of cre-
dit for their
-performance.
They
show-
ed an amazing
endurance
thr.oughout
the
game
and the spirit
was bubbling
over
into the crowd.
Individual
scoring
honors
went
to
Ed Skiko of the faculty.
He was
strong-
ly backed up by Brother
Kevin Donaghue,
"Hungry"
Hooper,
"Sauntering"
Som-
mer,
"OK"
Thomas,
"Handy"
Brother
Andrew
and ''Romping"
Brother
Ronald
who also contributed
greatly
to the vic-
tory.
The Varsity
Club
mainstays
were
Denny
Tierney
and
Tom
McAndrew,
WaltHerbst,
Dan Verrico,
Jim Pizzani,
Phil Bruno
and Gary
Smith also
saw a
great
deal of action.
It
was a very
hilarious
and enjoy-
able
game
and we all are
looking
for -
ward
to
another
series
of "fac.ulty
frolics"
next season.
Brother
Daniel
Kirk,
the
host
of the
lecture,
was
forced
to terminate
the
gathering.
One of the questions,
raised
by Jim Coombs,
was to ask whether
the
conformity
of individuals
to a
group
such
as
an
administrative
group in
which no one wished
to be unique
alone
did not
often
lead
to "brainstorming"
tactics
which often bring
original
ideas
out.
Dr. Ausabel
tended
to agree
with
this observation.
Another
very interes-
ting question
raised
by Dr.
Ausabel
's
statements
conc.erning
a_cademic
free-
dom in colleges
and universities.
Dr.
Balch asked
if there
had been_
any· em-
pirical
study
made
of the
actuality
of
academic
freedom
in large
educational
institutions.
Dr. Balch added that from
his own personal
experiences
he found
the atmosphere
at large
state
univer-
sities
very
conforming
as compared
to
the "intellectual
Donnybrook"
he found
at a small
liberal
arts
college,
These
and the other
numerous
questions
and
observations
reflected
the
intellectual
stimulation
caused
by the lecture.

To lhe editor
(cont'd.)
to ask how many
signea
up out of 250?
If
100 signed
up and 51 played,
you do
indeed
have
a right
to say a majority
played,
51% is a majority
but
not a
success,
The Don House,
football
champions,
faced two complete
teams
(the first
two
games);
the
remammg
games
were·
played
with as few as 12 men,
out of the
required
16, on the field,
For
the last
two games,
.no
one showed
up at all,
Were
the
opponents
awe-struck
at the
pseudo-might
of the
champions?
I'll
take eight men to six men any day.
You
sp.eak
of a successful
track
meet!
Ten partkipants
out of
·250
is
hardly
success.
They
were
supposed
to receive
a prize
of some
kind
for
their
efforts,
As yet,
they haven't
re -
ceived.them,
Thfs is a fact,
You have
an excellent
point
on the
issue
of bowling,
However,
as you
im;
ply through
your rationalization,
it wfr,
not be a success
for years,
·
You also
state
that
the majority
of
students
are from
Kingsto~,
Peekskill,
Hopewell
Junction,
and Newburgh.
You
fail
to mention
that
some
students
do
live
in Poughkeepsie;
A_nd that
there
areninety-five
resident
students.
It
is
·not
a fact
that there
are
ninety
re -
sid~~t student,
Mr, McIntyre.
Howmany
other
"facts"
have
you checked?
My
point is that there
are forty-five
stu-
dents residing
in the Poughkeepsie
area,
Mayl
also ask why the resident
stu-
dents
should have to support
a six team
bowling
league?
My point is that the
day students
are,
in fact,
more
lethar-
gic than
dorm
students,
I might also
add that the dorm
students
are
rigidly
restricted
as
far
as
transportation
goes.
The day hops
must
have
a ride
to get to school;
what
is their
problem
in relation
to transportation
for
bowl-
ing?
THE RECORD
literary
Club
Postpones
Quarterly
The Literary
·club
has
decided
not
to publish a winter
issue
of the Quarter-
ly.
The reason
for
this
is a general
lack of interest
on the part
of the stu-
dent body,
The Editorial
Board
reluc-
tantly
acunitted
that an issue
was
not
feasible
because
there
were
not enough
sub.missions
of acceptable
quality.
The
Board
believes
that
it is better
not to
publi_sh a Quarterly
at all rather
than
an inferior
journal,
The Club has
altered
its plans
and
will publish
the Quarterly
in May.
The
articles
submitted
for the winter
issue
will
be considered
for
this
issue,
as
well as any nevi material.
The
spring
issue
will
feature
the
best
original
writings
that the students
of Marist
Col-
lege
have
composed
during
the
school
year.
The Editorial
Board
stated
that sev-
eral
lengthy
prose
pieces
are
needed.
An essay
and a short
story
of at least
ten pages
each
are
necessary
to com-
plete
the issue.
Submissions
of other
literary
types
will also
be considered.
Articles
may be given
to Mr.
Sommer
or left in the publications
room.
Another
fact
is that
the Intramural
basketball
program
had not as yet star-
ted three
weeks
late
when the editorial
was written,
The article
had been
sub-
mitted
weeks
before
it appeared
in the
paper
simply
because
the paper
is not
printed
during
semester
break.
You say the facts
confirm
the state-
ment that the intramural
program
is on
the verge
of success,
Wh~re do_YOU get
·your
facts?
Do you sincerely
thmk
that
because
the basketball
program
has not
had any forfeits
in its first
two and one
half weeks,
that it is a success?
Do
you feel that because
five men
show up
for a team,
·participation
is 100%,
Four
men present
means
a forfeit
for a team
--Success?
I think
perhaps
you mean
(by the st'!:tement
11
I have viewed
wholes
and parts
of these
high
spirited
games,
Participation
is
l0Oo/o) that
lOOo/o of
thob~ playing
are
participating
and I
must agree
with you on that point
since
you certainly
oouldn't
mean
that
100%
of each
team
is participating,
There
are about thirty
men in each house
and
I think the .floor would be awfully
crowd-
ed.
Finally
may I quote you --
Decem-
ber
14th at approximately
Z:30
P. M,
When discussing
with you whether
1
as
President
of the Varsity
Club could
ob-
tain

you
said
"We may not have

fied with the football
program.
No guys

So I don't
