The Marist
College
Crew
is on its
way to wrapping
up a very
successful
season.
At this writing
the crew
stands
three
and one in dual
meets
and
shows
a third
place
in the Rusty
Callow
Regat-
ta against
a strong
field.
The high point
of the year for the crew
came
last Satur -
day in Philadelphia
when they
rowed
in
the
Dad
Vail
Regatta.
Looking
back
over
the past weeks'
showings
we might
say
that
it would
be more
appropriate
to call the crew
"The Saturday
Afternoon
Travelling
and
Paddling
Club".
Thus
far this
year
the crew
has
logged
over
a thousand
miles
travelling
to and from
races.
The
year
opened
with
the boys
making
a fine
debut
at Travers
Island
against
St.
John's
University.
The
Marist
varsity
came
of with.a
length
and three
quarter
victory.
The junior
varsity
wasn't
quite
up to the taks and
was
downed
by a
substantial
margin.
In its home
opener,
on the
15thof
April,
Marist
was defe.ated
by a strong
Fordham
University
Crew
which
has
since
gone on to lose
only one
race this
year.
The margin
of defeat
was about
two and a half lengths.
The junior
var-
sity
showed
that they
had
improvedin
that
past
week and looked
exceptional
in their
race
that Sunday,
losing
only
on the
last
two strokes
of the
race.
The devotion
and
spirit
which
sur -
rounds
crew
was
shown
when the boys
gave up their
Easter
Recess
to practice.
This practice
paid off and on the day be-
fore
Easter
the "Magenta
Knights
of the
Hudson"
swept American
International
College
on the Connecticut
River.
Dur -
ing the week that followed
the crew
was
blessed
with good weather
and plenty
of
time
to work out.
Taking
their
shell
to
Oyster
Bay,
on the 28th
of April
the
crew
rowed
und1c:r very rough
conditions
Walter
Herbst,
new Council
President
over
a course·
that
had to be shortened
because
of this.
The Marist
crew again
came
away with a sweep
of the opposi-
tion.
TheJunior
Varsity
came
from
be-
hind in their
event
for ·their
second
straight
victory.
The JuniorVar
.. 1ty has been plagued
with
changes
in its
line-up
the entire
season
and a lot of cr~dit
goes
to John
McLaughlin,
Keith
Convery,
Bob Mead
andStan
Waryas
for working
under
these
circumstances.
A special
merit
should
be given to Coxy Larry
Plover
for keep-
ing the boys together,
regardless
of who
they were.
CoachJoeCatanzaro
has again made
changes
in his varsity
boat in an attempt
to come
up with
the
combination
that
will do the best.
The crew has its last
race
this Satur -
day at Hartford,
Connecticut
against
Trinity
College
who beat
them
out by a
length and a quarter
in the Rusty
Callow.
It
should
be a fine race.
Walter

The recent
dispute
between
the President
and the steel
industry
received
a wealth
and variety
of comment,
and has been a prime
source
of issue
be -
tween
campus
liberals
and conservatives.
One Charles
A. Reich
of Yale University's
law faculty,
has set down a
particularly
valuable
set of observations
in a national
magazine.
After
summarizing
the events
of the past
several
weeks,
emphasizing
the role
of Presidential
pressures,
Professor
Reich
offers
a thesis
the gist of which
can be grasped
from
a handful
of questions
he raises
about
the President's
tactics.
Concerning
allegations
of criminal
activities
on the part
of the steei
corporations:
"Why did the Administration
lose
its prosecutorial
zeal just
as soon as the companies
capitulated?
Can acts
or conditions
that are
criminal
on Tuesday
become
less
criminal
by the following
Mo~day?
Are
crimes
by steel
and other
industries
permitted
so long as the criminals
"cooperate
with the Administration?"
"The use of investigations
to harass
people
and businesses
and to subject
them to pressure
is well known.
Strangely,
those
who usually
protest
such misuse
of legislative
investigatory
power
raised
no objection
when it was proposed
to put the steel
companies
on
the congressional
rack.
"
On the propriety
of the Administration
1
s methods:
"Income
tax investi-
gations
are legitimate,
but should
they be undertaken
specially,
with
dramatic
fanfare
to frighten
someone
who opposes
Administration
policies?
Should
a man's
passport
be delayed
if he does not fall into line on some
economic
issue?
Should
the goodwill
of a business
be destroyed
by official
denunciation
if it proves
stubborn
in collective
bargaining?
People
offend
the President
at their
peril."
Professor
Reich
continues
by insisting
on a
fact which
is rapidly
becoming
an absurdity:
"The Congress
alone has the
power
to require
citizens
and businesses
to conform
to publicly
set policies.
in the area
of economic
private
business
and the public
have
the right
to act
according
to their
notion
of the public
good,
until the people's
elected
repre-
sentatives
tell them otherwise".
He definitely
emphasizes
the fact that,
legally
speaking,
the President
has no more
right
than a private
citizen
to
force
his views
on economic
policy
and the best public
interest
on anyone
else.
On the other
hand,
it is obvious
that the President
was able to, and
actually
did,
impress
his own will upon one of the largest
and strongest
units
in the country,
one which
is even less
beholden
than most
other
in-
dustries
to governmental
favors
(contracts,
legislation,
etc.).
The climax
of this argument,
which
is probably
now obvious,
is this:
"Private
citizens,
having
seen giants
felled,
are not likely
to take on the winner.
President
Kennedy's
victory
may have advanced
peace
and plenty,
but it did not
service
to freedom
11
•
Professor
Reich's
conclusion
has probably
occurred
to a great
number
of people
-- it is comething
those
same
campus
conservatives
mentioned
above
could have read
in William
Buckley's
National
Review
and offered
up for c\ebate
with their
liberal
counterparts.
But,
and this is its most
interesting
aspect,
the article
did not appear
out of Buckley's
minions;
if was printed
in the New Republic.
Liberalism,
of the form
advocated
by the New Republic,
often boasts
of i_ts ultra-objective
consideration
of all possible
sides
of an argument,
but seldom
practices
its own policy.
If the college
student
is supposed
to
develop
and maintain
throughout
his life a certain
intellectual
attitude,
it
is probably
an attitude
of liberalism,
but not of the "ban the bomb
- fair
play for Cuba"
variety;
rather,
it is the essence
of the liberal
spirit,
of
the filling
of the. mind from
its bounds
of intellectual
parochialism.
May 15,· 1962
One day not_ too long ago a group
of
American
Indians
came
together
from
all over the country
for the purpose
of
visiting
President
Kennedy.
They
as -
sembled
in Washington
for
the purpose
of giving
the President
some
vital
in -
formation
concerning
nuclear
testing.
The group
gathered
and marched
to
the White
House.
At the White
House
they
encountered
the
usual
hostility;
only
the
President's
secretary
whom
they were finally
able to speak
to didn't
quite
understand
the gathering.
Per-
haps it was a protest
against
lastnight's
Late,
Late Show; he had ·no idea.
The
spokesman
for
the
group
introduced
himself
and explained
that
there
was
a
great
deal of concern
about
the upcom -
ing nuclear
tests.
He
also
explained·
that
there
were
a great
many
Indians
living
in the New Mexico
area
and
al-
though
the bomb wasn't
going
to fall in
the center
of their
community
they
did
feel
that
a little
fallout
might
come
seeping
down the chimney
..
They
informed
the
secretary
that
they wanted
the President
to know that
this
bomb
would
kill
all the
wild
life
and vegetation
in the area.
The
sec-
retary
replied
that the
President
was
aware
of these
things.
The
spokesman
for
the Indians
in-
formed
his fellow
countrymen
that
the
President
was fully aware
of the conse-
quences
of these
tests.
The Indians
all
looked
at each other
in a state
of confu -
sion and gasped,
"What?
? He KNOWS?
Let's
get the hell out of here."
Four
present
day English
humorists
do a routine
in which they interview
the
Prime
Minister.
The
Prime
Minister
speaks
about the wonderful
alert
system
that Britain
has and the Prime
Minister
adds
that his
country
will
be
warned
four minutes
before
,the
bomb
strikes.
Well,
I know you may
not think
of that
as an awful lot of time,
but the
Prime
Minister
replied,
"But you must
remem-
ber,
because
it is apparent,
.
at least
in
informed
circles,
that there
are a great
many people
in the world
today who can
run one mile
in four minutes."

"We

"
Dr.
Bartholemew
Nagy,
Associate
Professor
of Chemistry
at Fordham
Uni-
versity,
made
this
statement
with two
other
Fordham
chemists
on March
16th
of last year.
They
were
speaking
of a
meteorite
which fell in France
98 years
ago.
The statement
a year ago marked
the beginning
of one of the largest
con-
troversies
in modern
science.
Dr. Nagy
p~esented
his
scientific
findings,
complete
with slides
in an ap-
pearance
at the Marist
gymnasiwn
on
Wednesday,
.May
9th,
at 8:15 PM.
Dr.
Nagy,along
with Ors.
Warren
G. Mein-
schein
of Esso
and Douglas
J. Hennessy
of Fordham
presented
their
work before
the New York
Academy
of Sciences
in
analyzing
the organic
compounds
found
in
the meteorite
:which fell
close
to a
century
ago.
The
scientists
found
a
number
of complex,
wax-like
hydro-car-
bons,
identical
to those
found
in
terres-
trial petroleum
deposits
which are
gene
-
rally accepted
as being chemical
f~ssils.
Since last year,
the same
team
with the
addition
of Dr.
George
Claus
of N. Y. U.
has identified
microscopic
particles
in
four
different
meteorites,
which
re,-
semble
fossilized
one-cell
organisms
some
packed
forty
million
to
the
cubic
inch!
Dr.
Nagy's
talk
was
spon-
sored
by the da Vinci
Society
of the
College.
The
speaker
received
his B.S.
from
Pazmany
(Hungary);
his
M.A.
from
Columbia
and
his
Ph.D.
from
Penn-
sylvania
State
University.
He
is
re-
cognized
as one of the
leaders
in his
field.
His talk,

slides,
is
called
"Life Forms

THE RECORD
Lighthouse
by PETER
HANLEY
John Fitzgerald
Kennedy,
the Presi-
dent of the United States,
has
reopened
nuclear
atmospheric
testing
and
this
writer
can only sigh--at
long last.
The
order
to go ahead
was made
amidst
many
promises
not to test
if
the
Russians,
those-
-those
sweet
people
would
only
agree
to a program
of disarmament.
Of
course,
Mr.
Kennedy's
advisors
have
warned
our
young
President
that public
opinion
leaned
greatly
toward
the
re -
newal
of these
tests,
seeing
that
most
people
feared
being
left
too far
behind
in this
race
of militant
strength,
and
the White House
found
itself
faced
with
no other
alternative
but to
issue
the go
ahead.
There
is however,
another
form
of
appeasement
that has been created
with
only the intelligence
that Mr.
Kennedy
can offer.
This program,
presented
by
Secretary
of State
Rusk
at the Geneva
Conferences,
would
gradually
decrease
the size of the United
States'
forces
un-
til, sometime
in the 1970's,
the remain-
der would be given over to United
Nations
con~rol.
Of course
other
nations,
Rus-
sia included,
would
be expected
to do
the same.
We would therefore
stand
as
a nation
without
a
Navy,
without
an
Army,
without
an Air
Force--a
nation
completely
defenseless
and a pawn
of a
United
World
Court.
Do we want to disarm?
Do we want
to surrender
the only thing
that
makes
alien
nations
think twice
before
attack-
ing us?
Dear
Mr.
President,
the
United
States
has prided
itself
on its military
strength
and
its
ability
to
shun
its
enemies
for close
to two hundred
years.
From
a mere
handful
of patriotic
citi-
zens,
it
has grown to be the most
power-
ful nation
on the face
of this
globe.
It
is now superior
in most
every
field of
human
endeavor.
So let
us holdonto
that national
pride
which
has
been built
by our
forefathers~
Let us
no longer
continue
to appease,
pamper
and pet
those
who seek
our
future
destruction.
Let
our
actions
reflect
the greatness
which
is truly
a part
of us.
Let us con-
tinue
nuclear
testing,
forget
disarma-
ment
and
withdraw
those
fools
from
Geneva.
Let
us be a free
people
and
act like a free people
by striving
to re -
main
free.

by WILLIAM
McINTYRE
President
l\.enneay
exp'iained
to the
American
people
via a national
telecast
on March
2, 1962 that the United
States
would resume
atmospheric
nuclear.tests
if
the Soviets
did not agree
to an open
nuclear
inspection
system
by the middle
of
the following
April.
The
Russians
broke
the October
31,
1958
test
mora-
torium
when they launched
a two -month
50-explosion
series
of nuclear
weapons
in September,
1961.
As a result
of these
Russian
tests,
the President
was informed
by his
nuc-
lear
specialists
that Russia
may
have
advanced
her
nuc.lear
stockpiles
and
knowledge
to
such
a degree
that
our
superiority
might
well be
in
danger.
At the
Geneva
conference
Russia
turned
down the President's
offer
of an
open inspection
system.
This
rejection
was expected
by everyone.
So on April
25,
1962 the United
States
resc:med
at-
mospheric
testing,
which
will
cause
only
a
fraction
of radio-activity
as
com
-
pared
to the Russian
tests
of last
fall.
I am sure
that the President
was re-
gretful
that he had to make· such
a
deci-
sion.
There
is no denying
the fact that
radioactivity
from
these
testings
will
cause
some pollution
of the atmosphere.
President
Kennedy
made
this
decision
for the ultimate
good of the free
world.
The Communists
are
determined
to
rule the earth.
They respect
only force.
Force·
has
enabled
them
to
rule
one-
third
of the world
so
far.
The military
strength
of the United
States
and
her
Allies
are the only
obstacle
in the way
of the Cornrnunist.
Once
Russia
thinks
she
has the military
advantage
over
us,
I have
no doubt
that
she
would
try
to
destroy
us.
Some
Americans
are
inclined
to
think that Russia
is now using
peaceful
infiltration
instead
of military
force
in
order
to spread
her
communistic
sys -
tern.
Then
what
does Russia
have
to
fear
from
an open inspection
system,
if
she is using
other
means
of conquest
in-
stead
of military
might?
The
answer
is that the Russians
still consider
mili-
tary
force
their
most
important
weapon
for spreading
their
way of life.
An open
inspection
system
would
defeat
their
purpose.
The President's
decision
to resume
nuclear
tests
has
the
support
of the
American
people
and most
of the free
world.
It was the only responsible

THE RECORD
and
ANNUAL
SPRING
WEEKEND
by GEORGE
HALLAM
On Friday
evening May 4th the social
event of the year
swung
into high
gea1
as the Second Annual Marist
Spring Week-
end
started
off with
a bang.
At the
Polish
Club. the Storm
Kings blasted
out
the ·music
and the Weekenders
twisted
and swung
into the night.
One
of the
highlights
of the
dance
that
all
the
twisters
seemed
to enjoy was the mara-
thon that seemed
to be going
on to the
refrain
of "Shout;,.
This first
offering
under
the sponsorship
of the freshmen
was a real
success,
in fact
so much
so
that the band which had been contracted
till midnight
was
contracted
an addi-
tional
hour till one o'clock.
With more music
on tap
·for
Sat:urday
night the Maristers
made
their
way to
the Mount
Carmel
Auditorium,
where
they danced
to
the music
of Gene Bartle.
This
dance,
sponsored
by the juniors
featured
pizza
and hot dogs
to
satisfy
the hunger
pains
of the
group.
The hall
was decorated
in an oriental
decor
with
umbrellas
serving
as seuvenirs
of the·
memorable
occasion,
During
the even-
ing the winners
in the college
elections
were
announced.
Miss

of Spring
Weekend.
Earlier
in the evening
a private·buffet
dinner
at
Norrie
Point Inn was attended
by many
of the Weekenders.
Chicken
and Charr.-
pagne
punch
served
only
slightly
to
relieve
the hunger
of these
wanderers.
On Sunday
aft~rnoon
the weekenders
took on the nomadic
spirit
and travelled
over to Plattekill
to attend
