Spheres
When,
in
1957, the Marist
Brothers
opened
the gates
of this college
to the
general
public,
they solved
many problems
that had faced
the local high school
graduate
desiring
further
education
but unable
or unwilling
to travel
far in pursuit
of it.
And during
the first
couple
of years
the lay student
population
did form a
relatively
insignificant,
both numerically
and academically
speaking,
part of the
college
community,
But,
as a result
of a vigorous,
and for the general
public,
a most
welcome
program
of expansion,
lay student
enrollment
has grown to be the single
most
sig-
nificant
element
on campus,
With this growth
there
has been a growing
awareness
of a fact which ha9 always
been true:
that there
are at the college
two separate
spheres
of activity,
two separate
forms
of life - the student
brothers
on the one
hand,
and the lay students
on the other.
The boundaries
of these
spheres
have al-
ways been hazy;
they overlap
in the classroom
and in certain
activities
(the Liter-
ary Club).
But for the most
part,
separation
is the rule.
The brothers
observe
the same daily life of study,
work,
prayer,
and relaxation
that they always
have,
years
before
any expansion
was contemplated.
And the laymen,
by the same token
appear
as typical
college
students,
doing,
thinking
and enjoying
as the majority
of
their
counterparts
on campuses
across
the country.
As these
conditions,
which are certainly
most natural,
continue
and are ampli-
fied in the years
to come,
there
is one question
which will ultimately
have to be
answered
-- Whose college
is this?
At the moment
a workable
compromise
is
being employed,
with neither
the brothers
nor the laymen
receiving
a preponder-
ance of attention.
But can this school
offer
its facilities
to an annual
enrollment
of between
500 and 1500 men and guarantee
them the same
consideration
and auto-
nomy that any other
institution
could offer
them?
And certainly
just as perplex-
ing,
can this school's
administration
guarantee
the Marist
Order
the quality
of
preparation
and continued
consideration
of those brothers
it is training
for a
teaching
career,
men which the members
of the administration
are united
with
truly by a bond of brotherhood?
Resolution
of these
dilemmas
ultimately
hinge
on further
clarification
of the extent
and boundary
of the two disparate
spheres
of activity.
There
are at present
a number
of questions
in the minds
of the students
that
essentially
relate
to this problem
of separation
and definition,
the problem
of
mutual
obligation
of the Marist
Order
and the student
body.
In the annual
publi-
cation
of the lay students--their
"yearbook"--should
the student
brothers
be in
any way included?
Should this newspaper
serve
as a publicity
vehicle
for the
Marist
Order
in contradistinction
to Marist
College
itself?
Should it refrain
from
broaching
subjects
and treating
matter
which,
while innocuous
in itself,
might
cause
some difficulties
of interpretation
to those of a different
cultural
background
in the worldwide
organization
of the Marist
Brother?
Should
the supervision
of
student
activities
be in the form of direction
or moderation;
that is,
should
the
adrninistration
and its representatives
"run the show" or merely
"keep the show
from
running
away
.with
itself"?
In a slightly
different
vein,
but one in which the
resident
student
population
is very sensitive,
is there
any added obligation
on the
part
of the school
to provide
an appetizing
diet for those
paying
board;
would an
increase
in fees be necessary
to satisfy
those
desiring
greater
variety
and quan-
tity of food?
These
questions
are not meant
to imply
lack of action
by the administration.
On
the contrary,
the very fact of such progress
and expansion
of educational
programs,
and activities
and athletics
that are an integral
part of the preparation
provided
by a
college,
that has taken place
certainly
indicates
concern
for the student.
However,
dilemmas
of a very
general
nature
are constantly
appearing
as specific
problems
and attempts
to resolve
them often are enhanced
by public
airings.

(To the student

A few months

College
Campus
Booster
Club
came
into being
here
at Marist,
and the hopes
that
it
would turn into one of the key organiza-
tions
on campus
was
almost
realized,
I say almost
because
after
the
dance
held in the Cardinal
Spellman
Library
the
club
rapidly
began
to fade
from
view on campus.
has advanced
these
questions
knowingly
partial
to the interests
of the lay student
body.
Many say that the sole
purpose
in
founding
it was to obtain
the bid for
the
said dance
of Nover.,ber
18th.
In many
respects
this
was true,
however,
the
club
did
have
other
major
purposes
within its young
framework
and due to
the
definite
lackadaisical
attitude
of
several
key members
its purposes
were
only half-heartedly
undertaken.
With
the threat
of dissolution
at the hands
of
the Council
the few remaining
members
have awakened
to the fact that a valuable
asset
to our
rapidly
maturing
College
was almost
unconsciously
let
slip
by.

SOCIAL
AND ECONOMIC
WELFARE
by JOHN BUSCEMI
In the background
of any discussion
of social
- economic
problems
two points
must
be kept in mind.
(1)
The freedom
of individual
citizens
and groups
of citi-
zens to act autonomously,
while coopera-
ting one with the other.
(2) The activity
of the state
whereby
the undertakings
of
private
individuals
and groups
are
suit-
ably
regulated
and fostered.
Inherent
in these
points
is the basic
philosophy
of the Democratic
Party;
that
the
con-
stitution
and its
effects
exist
for
the
rights
of the
people.
Somewhat
to a
lesser
degree,
Republicans
have looked
at social-economic
problems
with
a
view
of the rights
of properties,
viz.
corporations.
It was
the
Democratic
Party
which
proceeded
forward,
and
were
capable
of facing
up to the
new
responsibilities
of government
for
social
welfare
and economic
health,
especially
under
Presidents
Wilson
and Roosevelt.
The best evidence
of this point
is in
the voting
records
of both
parties
in
Congress.
Democrats
were
mainly
responsible
for passage
of the
T. V.A.
bill in 1933; Federal
Housing
in 1937,
and Rent Control
in 1949,
despite
Re-
publican
opposition.
Conversely,
the
Republicans
have
constantly
voted
for
issues
that pertained
to property
rights,
viz.
Tidelands
Oil Act (1952),
Tax
Re-
duction
Act of the same
year.
The best
example
is the
Harris-Fulbright
Bill
which would exempt
natural
gas produc-
ers
from
direct
federal
rate
control.
Republicans
voted
136 for
it,
and for -
tunately
136 Democrats
voted
against
it.
The position
I would
tend
to take is
best
described
as "Mater
et Magistra";
social
systems
are organized
in accor-
dance
with legal
norms
and moral
laws,
their
extension
does
not
necessarily
mean
that
individual
citizens
will
be
gravely
discriminated
against
or exten-
sively
burdened.
Rather,
we can hope
that this will enable
man not only to de-
velop
and perfect
his
natural
talents,
but
also
will
lead
to
an
appropriate
structuring
of the
human
community.
National
Defense
Loans
Students
who have
applied
for
Nat-
ional Defense
Student
Loans
will be noti-
fied by letter
by May 15th of the amount
granted
for the loan.
This amount
will be provisional
and
subject
to change
since
the College
will
be informed
by the Department
of Health,
Education
and Welfare
of its
allotment
for these
loans
only after
June
15th.
by PETER
HANLEY
As a civilized
society
we must
neces-
sarily
consider
it our
duty
to care
for
the sick,
the handicapped
and the aged
who are unable
to care
for
themselves.
But why must
hard-working,
tax-paying
citizens
be forced
to contribute
to the
support
of able -bodied
men
and women
who simply
refuse
to obtain
employ-
ment?
Why
should
women
who
con-
tinuously
bear
illegitimate
children
be
rewarded
with more
and more
welfare?
In these
two cases
we can
see
where
welfare
has
become
an
incentive
for
people
to break
with
the
natural
and
moral
codes
of working
for
a living
and
living
within
the
law.
After
all,
prostitution
is against
the law;
yet we
continually
aid in the support
of women
who desire
to live
in such
a state
and
who
are
permitted
to flout
our
cur -
rent
welfare
laws.
I realize
that machinery
has
forced
many
people
out
of work,
but
I also
realize
that
there
are
many
positions
for both skilled
and unskilled
labor
ad-
vertised
in every
newspaper
in every
city
in every
state
in the union.
Are
our
welfare
hounds
unable
to
read
or
are they
so poverty
stricken
that
they
are unable
to afford
a five-cent
news -
paper?
I tend
to think
otherwise,
be-
lieving
many
are
content
living
on their
welfare
checks
while holding
other
jobs
in which
they are paid "under
the table."
Newburgh
has received
nation
wide
attention
due to their
welfare
program.
This
city,
which
pays almost
one-third
($983, 000) of its $3 million
annual
bud-
get on welfare
expenses,
came
up with
a 13 point program
to check
relief.
Re-
cently
New York
State
declared
12 of
these
points
unconstitutional.
If you
read
over
their
program,
you can only
come
to the conclusion
that
Newburgh
was not trying
to harm
the unfortunate
people
who are unable
to care
for them-
selves
but were
instead
attempting
to
rid
themselves
of the
deadbeats
who
drive
196 l Buicks
to the welfare
agen-
cies to pick
up their
checks.
Are
we
to assume
then
t\at Ne·w York
enjoys
squandering
our
tax
money
and
cares
nothing
about
spending
it wisely?
We must
extract
from
our
relief
rolls
those
who
continually
infringe
upon
their
welfare
rights.
We
must
also
realize
that
welfare
is
not
an
answer
to
unemployment
and
must
strive
to obtain
employment
for
those
who have been forced
out of work by the
age we are
in.
Welfare
is merely
an-
other
stone
in the path of socialism.

THE RECORD
Brother Tarcisius Printer for
25
Yea
rs
by GEORGE
HALLAM
Probably
one of the oldest
institu-
tions on the campus
is the Print
Shop.
In charge
since
its beginning
in
1928,
when it was located·
in the St.
Peter's
faculty
building,
has been Brother
Tar-
_cissius.
In fact,
Brother
celebrates
his silver
jubilee
as printer
on March
28th.
Brother,
before
going
into
the
Marist
Brothers
on March
1, 1925, was
a resident
of Haverhill,
Massachusetts,
in the Boston
area.
Since
entering
the
brothers,
his permanent
address
has
been Poughkeepsie.
When Brother
Tarcissius
was
given
the job of printer
he was completely
in-
experienced
at this trade!
With a small
printing
press
and
two
instruction
manuels,
he began his work and has en-
larged
the print
shop to its present
size.
Actually,
its primary
purpose
of insti-
tution
was to print
the Monthly
Bulletin
of the
U.S.
Province
of
the
Marist
Brothers.
In
1948 the move to the present
loca-
tion was begun
with the
completion
of
the gymnasium.
In 1956 offset
process
was begun and most
of today's
work
is
done in this fashion.
In his 25 years
on
the job Brother
has had several
occupa-
tional
accidents,
one time breaking
five
hand bones;
but each time has continued
to meet
deadlines
even
if only with one
hand!
Brother
does
most
of the
printing
for the College
including
The
Record,
the Province
and
some
of the
Marist
schools.
The Print
Shop takes
care
of
most
of the St.
Francis
Hospital
prin-
ting needs,
In addition
to this,
Brother
also prints
a yearly
religious
calender
and
several
vocational
pamphlets.

Advertising
Campaign
for "Reynard"
at 3/4
by CHARLES
COUNSIL
Mark
Work on the 1962 edition
of The Key-
~
is progressing
according
to schedule.
One third
of the book in final copy form
has been forwarded
to the O'Toole
Pub-
lishing
Company.
The remaining
por-
tions
of the book will be completed
by
June
15th with
distribution
to the stu-
dent. body
slated
for the early
part
of
September.
The advertising
campaign
which was
inauguratedin
January
is three
quarters
of the way to its
goal
of $2,000.00.
Business
Managers
Larry
O'Brien
and
Ed Shanahan
report
that despite
the fine
showing of their department
the campaign
is not receiving
the necessary
support
of
the entire
student
body.
There
are still
many
potential
advertisers
who have
not
been approached.
Such unsolicited
ad-
vertisers
present
a substantial
loss,
not only in funds but also in the
finished
product,
the yearbook.
As an added
in-
ducement
The Reynard
staff is a warding
two prizes,
consisting
of portable
tran-
sistor
radios.
One radio
will go to that
individual
who has submitted
the largest
amountinadvertisingfunds.
The second
radio
will be awarded
on the basis
of a
drawing,
it is necessary
only to have
submitted
one advertisement,
business,
professional
or personal
