Marist
College
has
taken
the
first
step
towards
the expansion
of
its
faci -
lities on the Hudson
River,
with
the
pro-
jected
construction
of a boat house
now
in
the
process
of achieving
actuality.
Since
the inauguration
of the rowing
team
here
at the College,
a definite
need for a boat house
has been
apparent.
to all
who
were
concerned
with
the
sport.
The
facility
considered
most
desirable
was to be a Butler
type
con-
struction
which
would
be utilized
for
the storage
of shells
and also
serve
as
a
dormitory
for visiting
crews.
During
the off-season,
the large
dormitory
area
could
be used
for
other
athletic
pur -
poses,
such
as
gymnastics,
weight-
lifting,
wrestling,
rowing
practice
on
the machines
and so forth.
Accordingly,
consulting
engineers
were called
in and a structure
65' X 70'
was
planned.
The
building
included
locker
rooms,
workrooms,
offices,
and
storage
space
for
small
equipment.
A
minimum
of sixteen
shells
can be stored
in
the
boat house,
ap.d dormitory
space
for over
sixty
oarsmen
is available,
Thus
regattas
involving
several
crews
can be scheduled,
The structur~
will
be approximately
16
feet
high,
with
windows
in the roof to provide
light
and
ventilation.
The actual
structure
will cost in the
neighborhood
of $40, 000,
one
quarter
of which will be expended
by the College.
A steering
committee
has been
appoint-
ed
under
the chairmanship
of Mr.
John
Rinaldi,
and they
are
presently
laying
plans
to secure
the
remaining
funds
through
the contributions
of people
and
organizations
who
are
interested
in
rowing.
The College
would
very
much
like
to begin
work
on the building
as
soon
as
possible,
so that there is some
chance
that it will be in use by the fall of next
year.
As
several
wrestling
matches
have been scheduled
for next year,

hoped that they will be held

The construction
of this
boat
house
should
solve many of the problems
now
facing our oarsmen,
Practice
will be-

in the spring
and
continue
later
in the fall.
Storage

will

Down
with
Paternalism!
In
the
absence
of
a
precisely
defined
relationship
between
the student
and the university,
there
exists
a traditional
relationship
summarized
in
the term
paternalism.
Paternalism
has sometimes
been erroneously
equated
with in loco parentis.
Paternalism
attributes
to the university
the
right
to restrict
arbi~rarily
the
activities
of
the
students,
whereas
the in
loco parentis
theory
defines
the responsibility
of
the
university
to provide
according
to its own
educational
aims
the most favorable
environment
for
the moral,
intellectual
and social
development
desired
by the student.
From
the tradition
of
paternalism
come these
conceptions:
the student
must
not be directly
involved
in the formation
of general
university
poli-
cies and the administration
may indiscriminately
circwnscribe
the peri-
meter
of a student's
actions.
In addition
to its effect
upon the individual
student,
the
university,
operating
within the framework
of paternalism,
may and does establis~
certain
restrictions
on the operation
of the student
government,
student
press,
and other
student
organizations.
The university
must
not restrict
.those
freedoms
.of
thought,
associations
and action
which are simultaneously
the prerequ'.isites
of a fully democratic
social
order
and personal
,ievelopment.
The vision
toward
which
we
strive
is that of
a
democratic
university
in which all share
certain
rights
of parti-
cipation
in matters
of common
concern,
and of fr.eedom
of inquiry,
asso-
ciation
and
development
and in which paternalism
is replaced
by fellowship
in the company
of scholars.
The New York-New
Jersey
Region
of the National
Federation
of Catholic
College
Students
condemns
the tradition
of paternalism
and the distorted
notion
of the educational
process
which it justifies.
It holds
·that
paternalism
permits
arbitrary
and extensive
repression
of
student
pursuits
and thereby
impairs
the total significance
of the university
as a center
for the pursuit
of truth.
It holds
that the effects
of paternalism
on the changing
student
are equally
important.
Paternalism
in any form
induces
or reinforces
immaturity,
con-
formity,
and disinterest
among
those
whose imagination,
critical
talent
and
capacities
for integrity
and growth
should
be encouraged
and given the
opportunity
for development.
The above
statement
1s a "Resolution
to Condemn
Paternalism"
offered
·
by the group of latter
-
day feminists
known as the National
Federation
of
Catholic
College
Students.
Its revelations
have undoubtedly
roused
the
wrath
and ire of all,
or at least
those
who
have not been imbued
with
"ilnmaturity,
conformity,
and disinterest"
as a result
of their
exposure
to the plague
of paternalism.
Apathy
especially
is the major
horror
of "our
system";
no matter
what else the college
student
is, he must
be an interested
college
student,
a college
student
fired
by "the burning
issues
of our Times".
He must
be a college
student
of action;
he must
do something
(together,
with others,
in a group)
--anything,
if·necessary.
It is not immediately
apparent
which "universities".the
resolution
is
alluding
to (in good
smear
fashion),
but implied
is an indictment
of all.
Now
this assumption
must
be immediately
rejected,
for there
is at least
one in-
stitution
which could not be accused
of being paternalistic
-- the one where
this resolution
was drawn
and from
which it was circulated.
An institution
which could be condemned
for "arbitrary
and extensive
repression
of student
pursuits"
would certainly
be missing
a fine chance
to paternalize
all over
the asinine
tripe
that this resolution
is.
It is most
likely
that there
is not
one "university"
which can be justly
accused
of paternalism.
It
is just as
likely
that the authors
of the above
document
have transformed
their
"pur-
suit of truth"
(whatever
that really
means)
into
a
mad scramble
for irra-
tionality.

CNY
by FRANK SWETZ
On Friday,
April
6th,
a squad
of
Marist
wrestlers
travelled
to City
Col-
lege to scrimmage
the Beavers.
It
was
Marist's
unofficial
debut,
and on a foam
rubber,
lavender
colored
mat,
inscribed
CCNY,
our wrestling
team
"cut
their
teeth".
Chris
Zacharski,
177 pounds,
in a
displayof
intelligent,
aggressive
wrest-
lingpinned
his man within one minute
of
the first
period.
Chris,
a novice,
be-
gan wrestling
at Marist
this year.
Glen Flor.es,
167 pounds,
gave
a
beautiful
exhibition
of skillful
wrestling
but went the limit
of six minutes
before
pinning
his man.
Glen,
the only expe -
rienced
man on the team had previously
wrestled
in high school.
Dennis
King,
heavyweight,
took his
opponent
down with a two-leg
pick-up
and gained
the
advantage
on the
mat
only to be reversed
and pinned.
Den-
nie's
wrestling
experience
consisted
of
one two-hour
practice
s.;ssion
on the
previous
Tuesday.
Dave Gerling,
Jim
Kelly
and
Pat
Moynihan
after
a valiant
struggle
were
pinned,
In the fury of the contest,
Jim
lost asneaker
and Dave his trunks,
both
situations
creating
obvious
impediments.
Ed
Krissler,
123 pounds,
disap-
pointing! y could not be matched
accor -
ding to rule.
Marist
would have
won
by.forfeit
if it had been an official
con-
test.
Pointwise,
we lost
the meet
15-20,
but as an experience
this
certainly
was
no defeat.
Every
man performed
ad-
mirably,
winning
the
praise
of
Joe
Sapora,
City's
coach.
Our wrestlers
greatest
surprise
was at the comrade-
ship exhibited
by potential
opponents,
a
paradox
of wrestling.
After
the meet,
Marist
and City worked
out
together;
City taught us new holds
and we taught
City some
new holds.
Another
scrim-
mage
has been
agreed
upon
for
next
November.
This
time
Goliath
took
David,
perhaps
next November,
David
will fell Goliath.

'fHE RECORD
Lighthouse
In a recent
symposium
heldatMary-
mount College,
Tarrytown,
Dr.
William
Thaler
of Georgetown
University
de -
plored
the lack
of interest
of college
students
in education
and the system
of
secondary
education
in the United States,
especially
as
regards
the
w.~despread
disparity
among
local
school
districts
in setting
educational
standards.
He went on to praise
the
Federal
Government's
sage
legislation
concern-
ing education.
Foremost
was the
Na-
tional
Defense
Act which
gave
and still
gives
incentive
to students
to major
in
Education,
particularly
in the fields
of
the sciences.
Although
the money
is exteuded
to
the students
in
the
form of loans,
these
are
repayable
at low interest
rates
or
in the case of students
who become
sec -
ondary
education
teachers,
one-half
of
t~e loan
is cancelled.
Also
under
this
act money is made
available
for colleges
to build
dormitories
under
long
range
low interest
loans.
The President
is now trying
to actu-
ate a bill in Congress
to provide
money
for classroom
space
for
colleges
and
high schools.
As we all remember,
this
was one of the President's
strong
points
during
his
campaign.
Basically,
the
President
would
like
to
see
Federal
money
spent through
state
agencies
for
education.
This,
to an extent,
obviates
the argument
expounded
by local
school
authorities
who feel that their local Juris -
diction
is being invaded.
It is interesting
to note that Dr.
Wil-
liam Stanton
of U.C.L.A.,
a noted
eco-
nomist,
points
out that
one of the rea -
sons
for
the
heterogeneous
conditions
of education
is the
disparity
of the
various
local
school
districts;
precisely
as to the capability
of the
people
who
serve
on them and the taxing
powers
of
the local
school
districts.
School
re -
venue is derived
from
sales
and proper-
ty taxes.
Thus a local
school
district
in a poor
farming
area
like
the South
cannot
raise
the same
amount
of money
as an industrial
area
in the North.
I
feel the only adequate
answer
which
is
within the framework
of the Constitution
which guarantees
equal opportunities,
is
to establish
Federal
Aid
to
Education
and make
full use of the personal
and
corporative
taxing
powers
of the
Feder-
al Government.
Incidentally,
if
anyone
has a spare
moment,
perhaps
he would thumb
a few
pages
in some
of my
brand
new
text
books.
It might
help me for finals
or
in my comprehensive
exams.

Education
is a state
program
now
and must
remain
a state
program
in the
future
in order
to retain
its
highest
point
of effectiveness.
Control
by the
Federal
Government
would
merely
en-
tangle
the distribution
of funds
in typi-
cal Washington
red tape.
The 1960 Education
Bill
was
based
on a politically
inspired
formula
and
was extremely
unjust.
Under
it,
the
state
of Texas
was to receive
the high -
est annual allotment
-$58 million.
How-
ever,
according
to the office
of Educa -
tion's
1960 survey,
Texas
had a deficit
of only 809 classrooms.
New York has
a deficit
of 10, 200 classrooms.
Texas
has 2 million
school
children
while
New
York
has
3 1/2 million.
Furthermore,
Texans
pay far
less
in state
and local
taxes
to support
their
schools
than
do
New Yorkers.
Bills
of this nature
seem
to have
no
basis
in logic.
There
are,
however,
two programs
which I find very
easy
to
support.
The first
was passed
in 1958
and was called the National
Defense
Edu-
cation Act.
This Act includes
provisions
for loans
to aid
students
in financial
need,
a graduate
fellowship
program,
summer
institutes
for
teachers
and
funds for th~ purchase
of needed
educa-
tional
equipment.
The
second,
a Bill
which has been
introduced
to
Congress
but which has
not had any action
taken
on it, would permit
the deduction
of edu-
cational
spendings
from
your
income
tax.
Basically
I favor
little
if
any
con-
trol of Education
by the Federal
Govern-
ment,
but I do think
that
they
can aid
the individual
student
in his
quest
for
knowledge.
Turning.
to another
aspect
of educa-
tion,
I believe
that
educators
should
raise
the standards
in both primal'y
and
secondary
schools.
I
believe
that
tea.chers
tend to underestimate
the learn-
ing capacity
of school
children
in the
eariy
grades
and
therefore
linger
on
unimportant
material
for
too
long
a
time.
Lastly,
I believe
that
the teachers
who went on strike
in New York
to ob-
tain better
wages
had
every
right
in
the world.
When a society
refuses
to
pay fair wages
to the very
people
upon
which the future
of that society
depends,
then this is the time
for extraordinary
action.
It has been known for years
that
our teachers
are
underpaid,
yet
very
little
has
been
done
to
remedy
the
situation.
It must
be very
depressing
to· these
people
to realize
that
the
men
tending
the
flowers
in
front
of the
school
are probably
earning
more
than
they are.

a

in try-

right
out on the

and this proved
to be too much
for
the
Johnnies.

held the
beat at a 36 for the first
forty
strokes

was away
by a half a boat
length
as
they began to bring
the count
down to
the
34 beat
which
they
main·-
tained
the
rest
of the race.
The Red Foxes
kept increasing
their
lead till they led by a length
and a quar -

to make
their
move
at this
point
and brought
the stroke
up from the

they had been
rowing
to a 36.

closed
the gap
a
