Local
Party
Leaders
Speak
to Republicans
by JOHN DWORAK
"Teamwork"
and "party
unity"
were
the
words
with
which
William
Thomas
used
to describe
political
organization.
-Thomas,
Chairman
of the First
Ward
Republican
Club
of Poughkeepsie
and
Thomas
Milano,
Republican
Alderman
from
the First
Ward
in Poughkeepsie,
were
guests
at the meeting
of
the newly
formed
Young
Republicans
Club
of
Marist
College,
Thursday
evening
on
campus.
The
meeting
was
opened
by presi-
dent Peter
Hanley,
who
introduced
Dr.
Balch,
club
moderator.
Dr.
Balch's
opening
remarks
concerned
the
"unmis-
takable
trend"
which
is
sweeping
the
American
campuses.
This
"unmistak-
able trend",
conservatism,
he
said,
was still
undefined.
Calling
on his
own
observations
of similar
movements,
he
stated
that
the Democratic
partyof
the
early
forties
had an enthusiastic
follow-
ing of the same proportions
as the Re -
publican
movement
has today.
It is the
influence
of these
people,
in certain
ideal
and
responsible
positions
that is
giving the Democratic
party
the recent
victories
that
it
has
enjoyed.
He
went
on to mention
that
it
only a matter
of
time before
the nation
will feel
a simi-
lar
effect
from
this
Republican
move-
ment.
Thomas
was then
called
on to de -
scribe
the activities
of the local organi-
zation.
He
stated
that his
club was
in-
terested
in getting
in personal
touch
with the residents
of his ward.
Work-
ing in conjunction
with the larger
city
organization
the club could give
service
on city-wide
issues.

Juniors
Receive
Rings
In Chapel
Ceremony
by JAMES
MOLONEY
On Saturday
evening,
March
l 0th,
the plans
of the Junior
Class
for
the
Ring Ceremony
and
formal
dance
com-
bined
with
the Senior
Class
efforts
for
a prom
~esulted
in the most
impressive
social
event
of the
school
year,
the
fir st formal
dance
ever
held by the Col-
lege.
The night began
with
the Ring
Pre -
sentation
which
was
conducted
in
the
College
Chapel.
A proces•sion
to the
altar
initiated
this
1+on-liturgical
cere-
mony.
It was contfoued
with a prayer
and a short·
talk
on the significance
of
,
the
college
ring by Father
Driscoll,
the
coue·ge
chaplain.
The
rings
were
then
blessed
and
each
of
the twenty-one
juniors
receiving
a ring walked
forward
and knelt at the foot of
the
altar
to have
his ring placed
on his finger
by Father
Driscoll.
The ceremony
concluded
with
Benediction
of the Most
Blessed
Sacra-
ment during
which
a choir
of brothers
made
up from
the Junior
Class
sang
the
hymns.
The
juniors
and
their
dates
then
drove
out to the
Poughkeepsie
Tennis
Club where they were met by the seniors
for the formal
dance.
Here,
tuxedos,
gowns,
and elaborate
dresses
supple-
mented
the already
well-decorated
hall.
The most
spectacular
decoration,
how-
ever,
was the
8
foot
square
model
of
base of the senior
ring,
which enhanced
the center
of the dance
floor.
It had
been constructed
by Howie Marcou
with
the aid of other
members
of the junior
class,
The majority
of the two classes
at-
tended the event and danced
to the music
of the Matt
Jordan
Band.
Members
of
both the religious
and lay faculty
also
enjoyed
themselves
at
this
College
func-
tion.

The Source
of Ends
We live today in the twilight
of purpose,
without
the glaring
reality
of need.
Our basic,
and even peripheral,
wants are
satisfied,
without
our having
done much to obtain them by our own
ingenuity.
But in the eyes of certain
others,
it seems
as if there
is
still
much to be done.
College
newspapers
are always
running
implicit
crusades
to get their
student
bodies
to join and to act.
Class
officers
periodically
look around
for things
to do to promote
class
unity.
Athletic
directors
·and
athletes
are constantly
ex-
tolling
the benefits
of intramural
programs
and
·the
need for
physical
fitness.
Literary
clubs are constantly
urging
an increase
of expression
through
the written
word.
Student
governments
(see
letter)
time and again are urging
students
to govern
themselves.
The NFCCS
and the NSA are quick to point out the utility
and
disutility,
respectively,
of the HUAC.
And finally.,
students
will
infrequently
be urged
to improve
their
grades
by responsible
voices
from all quarters.
However,
these
responsible
voices,
when ignored
by the
students
they are attempting
to ignite,
often become
themselves
volatile
and irate,
tacitly
assuming
that what they see as necessity
the students
do as well.
But the truth
is that: need and purpose
arise
from within
the individual.
Schools
-themselves
arose
out of
the need to learn;
if the need is disappearing,
no matter
how much
effort
the Rickovers
put into telling
how bad a job we're
doing in
education,
and that we need to do better,
the schools
must and will
disappear.
If there
are no students,
we must
give them the dignity
of having
been able to freely
chose,
in effect,
ignorance.
If
there
are no athletes
or writers,
it is most important
to realize
that
they have chosen
physical
and mental
flaccidity.
Much worse
than the Rickovers,
who. are concerned
with the
growing
lack of purpose
in action,
are those
with the "let's
do
something---anything"
attitude,
because
they are denying
in so
many words
that man can really
act for a purpose
at all; activity
for them is its own reason
for existence;
there
is no ultimate
goal.
Probably
the best,
in the sense
of most
effective
as well
as most worthwhile,
argument
that the responsible
voices
can
make
is
that aimlessness
is a putrefaction
of the human
spirit.
The student,
one who realizes
and acknowledges
that he is now
str.iving
to grow in mind and body to a mature
completeness,
must,
because
of his own inner
driving
need for fulfillment,
and will demand
of himself
action,
action
that will lead to the
attainment
of his goals.
And he alone can impose
these
demands
and purposes
and needs.

To The
Editor:
(To Brother
Daniel:)
I want to thank you and Mr.
O'Keefe
for your kindness
and hospitality
to me
during
my visit.
The lecture
was a
very
stimulating
experience.
I was
very
favorably
im-
pressed
by the earnestness
and
intel-
lectual
curiosity
of the
student
body
and by the general
morale
and spirit
of
the College.
It
is obviously
being
di-
rected
with vigor,
imagination,
and en-
thusiasm.
The
ingenuity,
beauty
and
practicality
of the architectural
arrange-
ments
are also impressive.
When! returned
to my hotel on Wed-
nesday
night I was
so stimulated
intel-
lectuallythatl
stayed
awake
reading
un-
til 2 AM despite
having
to get up in the
morning
at 5:15 AM.
With best wishes
for the future
suc-
cess of the College,
and warmest
per-
sonal regards.
Sincerely,
D. P. Ausubel
Professor
of Education
It is to be hoped
that Mr.
McAnd-
rew's
interview
with Mrs.
Fisher
can be
made,
in some
way,
a permanent
pos-
sessionofthe
College
as are
the
murals
which the article
so helpfully
explicates.
One of the most
difficult
tasks
of
college
journalism
lies
in helping
the
readers
to understand
the
significance
of the news
that
all
are
already
ob-
viously
aware
of.
I think
that the front
page of last week's
Record
did this
in a
rather
distinguished
way.
Sincerely,
Roscoe
Balch
It has been brought
to the attention
of the Student
Council,
that a number
of
Marist
College
Students
have
displayed
poor taste
in mixed
compan%
by sing-
ing ribald
songs.
It should be noted that the complaints
were registered
by their
fellow
students
who had seen
fit to note
their
unwise,
boisterous,
immature
behavior.
Fur-
ther,
their
bad
taste
was
such
that it
caused
several
students,
who were
ac-
companied
by dates,
considerable
em-
barrassment.
While
the
Student
Council
has
no
wish to assume
the role of "Father
Con-
fessor"
it does
see
fit
to advise
all
whom this notice
may
in anyway
effect,
that they are
at all
times
and
in all
places,
representatives
of the school;
that wherever
they present
themselves
in public
they have
a very
real
obliga-
tion to the school
as well as to them -

to make
them aware

At the present

Marist

in order
to eventually
determine
whether
Marist
would
continue
its

in
the
future.
The purpose
of the convocation
Nill be to familiarize
the
students
with
these
two national
organizations
and to
determine
whether

will
benefit
from
enrolbnent
in either
one of these
organizations.

The

by John

on March

at Vassar

Mr.

is
the American
Economic
Advisor

REPUBLICANS
(cont.
from
p.
1)
was this working
together
with
the city
that made
it possible
for the Republican
party
to have a
5-4
majority
on the city
council
despite
the fact
that
there
is a
Democratic
mayor
in
Poughkeepsie.
He said that the club
will try to interest
college
girls
in the
area
to work
with
them.
Thomas
said that the women
as -
sociated
with
his
group
can
always
be
relied
upon
to do a ''hundred
percent
job",
and he has
found
this
to
be
the
case
with
other
larger
groups
of the
party.
Alderman
Milano
then spoke
on some
of the practical
aspects
that he has wit -
nessed
concerning
the work of the club.
He gave as an outstanding
example
this
past
campaign.
Milano
was
elected
by
a mere
13 votes.
The work
of the· club
:members
in getting
the
people
out
to
vote
at the last
minute,
he
said,
was
definitely
the
deciding
factor.
One
of
the big jobs
on the local
level,
it was
mentioned,
is getting
the people
to re -
gister.
Milano
also
stated
that
per -
sonal
contact
with the voters
is invalu-
able later
at elections.
The "bell-ring-
ing"
aspect
of a campaign
may
sound
like a waste
of tune
at first,
but it pays
off on election
day.
Both men then
said
that
they
would
be very happy
to assist
the
club
in any
way possible.
They
both
said
that
they
would
welcome
any
assistance
that
the
club
would
like
to give
them
and
that
members
were free
to attend
their
club
meetings
at any tinie.

INTRA
MURALS
by TERRY
MACKEN
In this week's
intramurals
the Manor
House
tightened
its
grip
on first
place
with a 45-41
victory
over
the
Hudson
House
while
the
Seniors
who were
in
second
place
dropped
a decision
to the
Park
House
49-26.
The Manor
House
had
a tough
time
in earning
their
victory.
The Hudson
House
jumped
out
into
a quick
lead
which
it held
until
the
fourth
quarter
leading
by 12 at halftime,
and
at
the
end of the third
quarter.
In the
second
half the Manor
came
back and managed
to take the lead
early
in the final
quar-
ter with Denny
Tierney
and
their
lead-
ing
scorer
Larry
Plover
doing
most
of the work.
They
managed
to hold
onto
the lead
for
their
fourth
victory.
Larry
Plover
had
12 for
the
winners
while
Denny
Tierney
had
10. Paul
Nigra
paced
the losers
with 19.
The
Park
House
gradually
built
up a big lead
in the
first
half
which
proved
too
much
to overcome.
The
Seniors
even
so made
it
interesting
led by Tom
McAndrew
and Jim
Calla-
han.
The Park's
lead however
couldn't
be dwindled
and
the
final
score
read
Park
House
49 and
Seniors
26.
The
Spada
House
or rather
the Park
House
was led by their
top scorer
and chucker
Joe Spada
with 28.
Tom McAndrew
led
the Seniors
·with
15.

THE RECORD
Applications
Up Over
La~t
Year
Brother
John
Mal<1-chy,
Registrar,
made
known last week the following
in-
formation
concerning
the rate of appli-
cations
for next year's
freshmen
class,
As of March
1, 1962 there
are
286 ap-
plications
on file; this compares
favor -
ably to 90 applications
as of March
1,
1961.
He went on to state,
"If
the flow
of applications
follows
last year's
trend,
we. should
have
approximately
500 ap-
plicants
from
which
we will be taking
200 freshmen".
This will represent
an
increase
of 68 students
over last year's
freshmen
class
of 142.
With the completion
of Sheehan
Hall,
the new dormitory,
the Registrar
indi-
cated
that
120 of the successful
appli-
cants
will be resident
students.
Accordingly,
another
indication
of
the
rapid
development
the
school
is
undergoing
is the number
of inquiries
the Registrar's
Office
has received
this
year to date.
As of March
1, 1962 there
has been 700 inquiries
compared
to 200
asofMarch
1, 1961.
Among th_e various
reasons
for
this
phenomenal
growth,
Brother
John hastened
to add,
is the ad-
vertisement
we have
been
receiving
from
our contented
student
body.

· Bowling News
After
several
setbacks,
the intra-
mural
bowling
program
is getting
a new
start.
Brother
William
Murphy
made
it
known
that
enough
interest
has
been
shown through
his recent
survey
to war-
rant getting
a bus to transport
interest-
ed bowlers
to
and from
the lanes.
The same house
system
will be used.
Ed_ Shanahan
has been
working
all year
as moderator
of the group
and it was
only through
his
efforts
that
there
is
an established
organization,
Bowling
is at the Hoe-Bowl
Lanes
in Hyde Park
and takes
place
on Monday
afternoons
at 3:45.
The bus will leave
the school
at 3:30 and return
when the
session
is over.
A
schedule
has been
worked
out.by
Brother
Murphy
and Mr.
' Shanahan.
The league
will not work
on
a handicap
basis
so you can see the im-
portance
of individual
support
of your
houses.
It
is important
that we have an
interest
in bowling
at this time
because
on the basis
of the averages
compiled
now,
an
intercollegiate
team
will
be
formed
in the fall.
NOTICE:
