"Atomic Theory Past and Present",
the subject
of a lecture
by Dr.
Karl
Herzfeld
of Catholic
University
is one
of the most important
subjects
in the
world today.
Dr. Herzfeld,
who has
received
the Mendel Medal from Villa-
nova,
the Angelo Secchi
Award
from
Georgetown,
and has the degrees
of
Doctor of Science,
Honoris
Causa from
Loyola College

covered
the field
of atomic
theory
from
its
first beginnings
in ancient
Greece
to
the present
day advanced experiments.
Mr.
Teichman
Guest Speaker
At
Second
Literary
Guild
Lecture
by W. Moran
"Many of the books of the Bible are
equal in artistry
to the works of Homer,
Shakespeare,
and Milton."
said Mr.
Milton Teichman,
guest speaker
at the
second lecture
in the series
sponsored
by the Literary
Guild.
On Thursday
about 65 students
heard Mr. Teichman
discuss
the story
of Joseph
and his
brothers
from a purely literary
point
of view.
Mr. Teichman
pointed out that al-
though the story was intended primarily
as a religious
work, it is an entertain-
ing
and creative
work of art
in
the
secular
world.
He showed that it is
true literature;
that it transcends
the
limits of time,
The following is a summary
of Mr.
Teichman' s talk.
The story of Joseph deals with the
a!fventures of a boy sold into slavery
by
his jealous brothers
and his rise to the
second most powerful position in Egypt.
The
plot
is
very
interesting.
Throughout
the entire
narrative
sus-
pense is generated.
We anticipate
the
emotional
reactions
of Joseph
and the
other
characters.
The personal
con-
flict between the characters
also helps
to hold our interest.
"
Though the plot is excellent,
we
would not enjoy reading
the story re-
peatedly
if the style was not equally
great.
The author
makes
very good
use of suggestion.
He does not give de-
tailed descriptions
of the characters
or
their emotional
responses.
This style
is quite
unlike
that
of the
Greeks.
Homer,
writing
at approximately
the
same
time,
gives
every
detail;
he
leaves nothing to the imagination.
It is this
absence
of detail
that
gives a story
universality.
An author
always
risks
becoming
sentimental
when he relates
each character's
emo-
tional response
in detail.
The biblical
author allows the reader to expand his
cont. on p. 4
The atomic
theory
had its begin-
nings with the Greeks who saw that the
material
world was made up of parti-
cles that were unchangeable,
indivisible
hard,. small,
present
in large numbers
and moving through empty space.
Aris-
totle came up with several
objections
to this theory
based
mainly
on two
points,
one that there was no necessity
for the existence
of indivisible
matter
and secondly
that empty space cannot
exist by itself.
He
felt
that there
was
a continuity in the world.
As time went on many other people
began to give their ideas on an atomic
theory.
The first. theory was not really
widely accepted
because
of the moral
character
of one of its founders,
Epi-
curius.
St. Thomas agreed for the most
part with Aristotle
but said that matter
could be continually
broken
down but
there might be a particle
of minimum
size which cannot
be proken
down.
Some ridiculous
theories
also came
out
and one of these was Descartes',
who
had a particle
as big as a star
and
friction
breaking
it
down into the
smaller
particles.
Further
attempts
were
made
on
the part
of scientists
to reintroduce
the atomic
theory
such as the effort
of the .priest Garsendi,
who tried to re-
habilitate
the life
of Epicurius
and
therefore
make the theory more accept-
able.
Another important
figure at this
time was Roger
Boscovitch
who saw
atoms as points without dimensions·
and
as the center of a field of force.
This
answered
part of the problem
that the
atomic theory had to answer in that now
the particles
repelled each other where-
as before people felt they would collide
and lose velocity therefore
going against.
the law of continuity.
Around 1800 Hauy made his dis-

Help

Dear Editor:
If
I may quote the first
sentence
of your last editorial,
"The
Record is not only a medium
of communication
by which news and
opinions of the editor may be transmitted.
11
What else is The Re-
cord?
I begin this little critique
by asking by whose criteria
is
your sentence
a sentence?
I am not going through a long list of
grammatical
mistakes
found in our paper because
this might take
up twelve columns.
This would indeed be a great catastrophe
since it would mean the elimination
of such things as:
1. A wonderful
column-and-a-half
review on a play which can
be considered
a financial
"flop" for the Marist
College Student
Council.
This play was not even a Marist
College production.
Is
someone
plugging for Vassar
College?
2.
A "Sports
Spot" which includes
such random thoughts
as
"Willie Mays
is better
than Mickey Mantle",
but even better,
"Foxes
out, Vikings in, •• " I believe this is the first time the men
of the College have seen the latter
statement
in print.
It
might
have been a good idea
if
The Record would have been aware of the
official Student Council action (and I compliment
Mr. Fogarty• s
column,
it is a step in the right direction)
rather
than change its
foundation.
If
this would have been done, maybe a little article
might have been included about this grave matter
of changing the
athletic
teams'
mascot.
I also failed to see an article
concerning
"one of", and I quote
a
faculty member,
"the largest
campus functions
of the school
year"
Parents'
Day.
Last year's
Record had ante and post articles
about this most successful,
best attended
function.
Gentlemen
of The Record and fellow students,
I
have not offered
these observations
as material
for mere criticism,
rather
with a
purpose.
I have heard that The Record is failing in its promises
for bigger and better
editions,
and even those weekly editions be-
cause of lack of student participation,
If
this is so, then may I
suggest you also include a want ad in the next edition to read "Help
Wanted".
ff
twenty-seven
staff
members
are not enough,
swallow
your pride and advertise.
If
they are sufficient,
then I simply ask,
Why?
Sincerely
yours,
Daniel Verrico
In the letter
above Mr, Verrico
asked a question.
The other
night he unwittingly
answered
this question.
When asked to write
a short preview
of the proposed
Resident
Student Christmas
Party,
Mr. Verrico
replied that he might.but
that he would not promise
anything.
This is the attitude which is so detrimental
to the func-
tioning of not only the newspaper,
but also of many other campus
activities.

I THINK.I?
by A. Sapp
Question -
What
improvement
would
you most like to see on campus?
John Sullivan - What
I
would like to see
most is a decent football field.
Where
we have to play
now isn• t a
proper
place.
John Callahan
- We need some recrea-
tional facilities,
some kind of a student
union,
with pool tables,
ping pong and
a place to play cards.
Ray Bacchi -
The student
parking
lot
should be bigger
or else set up so that
you don't have to park so far away.
Walter
Bunten -
We
need a student
union.
The
cafeteria
should be
for
eating.
Dan Fogarty
- There
should be expan-
ded recreational
facilities
for both day
and dorm
students.
A student
union
and more activities
are what I would
like to see.
Pete Hanley - I'd like to see a student
union with a snack bar so that students
would have a place to go and just take
it easy.
Question
-
Did the President
handle
the Meredith
case well?
·
Tony Rotolo
=
He did not.
In the
firat
place it was not the President,
but
hie
brother
who handled it.
He did not
use
much discretion
in calling out the troops.
Anyway
Meredith
was backed
-by
the
NAAC
P
and
responsible
for inciting
the riot.
The President
should
have
showed more tact and finesse.
Joe
Sendra -
I
thought
he handled
it
right.
The courts
made the decision
and it was the law of the land.
He had
no choice but to enforce
the law or else
let the mobs in Mississippi
rule,
which
is
against
our whole
tradition
as a
nation.
Oddly enough Meredith
gives
the appearance
of not seeming
to appre-
ciate fully what is being done for him.
Herman
Boldrin
-
The
choice
was
forced upon the President,
but he acted
too late.
He did not take the initiative
and this is the reason why the situation
got out of hand.
James
O'Neill
- More emphasis
should
have been placed
upon the morality
of
denying a negro• s admission
than upon
the legality
of the issue.
The use of
troops
and talk about state
rights
vs.
constitutional
rights
is actually
cloud-
ing the real moral issue.

Glee CI ub lnvi tes
New Membership
by J. Markett
Where are the musicians
of Marist
College?
We have
been
asking
this
question for two years and still have not
found an answer.
Are the only musi-
cians
the "Eastern
Trio".
an excellent
trio of folk singers?
Is it just the jazz
combo
on campus?
There
must
cer-
tainly be others who like to sing or play
instruments.
The Marist
College
Glee Club in-
vites, exhorts,
even politely begs those
who are interested
in singing to join
their
group.
We know there
must be
more than twelve people who like group
smging.
We also know there is strength
in numbers.
As an organization
the
Glee Club on campus
can accomplish
much for- a sc;hool but it needs wheels
to move.
For
those
who like
diversity
we
have already
been asked to sing jointly
with
St.
Francis
and Mt. St. Mary• s
Glee Club.
This cannot be done without
men.
We are not twelve apostles
who
can go around converting
others.
But
we sincerely
hope that those who are
interested
in group
singing
join us.

THE RECORD
NOCTURNE
This
is the
first
appearance
of
what henceforth
will be a regular
column
in this
paper.
Its purpose
is to set
forth
items
which may be of interest
to the entire
student body, but which
will particularly
interest
members
of
the
Evening
Division.
Contributions
and comments
are welcome.
Submit-
ted articles
can reach us through your
class representative.
On· October
27th,
a meeting of the
Evening Division
Student Council
was
held,
and the following
officers
were
nominated
and elected:
Chairman:
William Filomena
Vice-Chairman:
John Gallagher
Recording
Secretary:
Arthur Butts
Treasurer:
Charles
Newcomb
Brother
Cornelius,
sitting with the
Council'as moderator
and faculty repre-
sentative,
addressed
the Council
on
matters
of importance
to the College
and the student body.
After
delibera-
tion,
the Council decided on the follow-
~g
disbursements
from
the Evening
Division treasury:
A. The Record
-- $360. 00
These
funds were subscribed
for
the purpose
of defraying
the cost
of
making
copies
of the paper
available
to evening school students.
The dona-
tion also includes the cost of adding an
extra page to The Record,
occasioned
by the addition of this column.
B.
The New Boathouse
-- $500. 00
The new boathouse
will contain
a
gymnasium
on. its second floor which
will be used by the evening students
for
their
social
programs,
such as
dances,
films,
and
guest
lectures.
The regular
facilities
of the boathouse
will be available
to all students,
Eve-
ning
Division
included,
and after
a
cautious appraisal
of the physical
con-
dition of many of the night school mem-
bers,
it was agreed
they needed the
use of the athletic facilities
more than
the day students.
C. Cultural
Program
-- $300. 00
A cultural
film program
was pro-
posed
and a committee
nominated
to
recommend
films of merit.
When·the
schedule
is drawn,
it will be posted on
the bulletin
board.
Additional
notice
together
with content
comment,
will'
appear
in this
column
in the
week
prior to scheduled
showing.
All stu-
dents, their wives and friends,
will be
admitted
without
admission
charge,
and
as long as seats are available,
the
general public is also welcome.
One of the unfortunate
aspects
of
the Evening
Division
is the apparent
lack
of class or college spirit.
This is
understandable,
considering
normal
business
and family interests,
coupled
1rith an academic
program.
On this,
the comment might be made that some
people,
no matter
how busy they are
_can find time to add something

Parents Day
by P. Kearney
On
Sunday,
November
4th,
the
Third Annual Parents
Day of Marist
College was held.
It
was organized
by
the freshman
class under the direction
of Daniel Verrico
and John Christie,
co- chairmen of the program.
The pur-
pose of Freshman
Parents'
Day is to
give parents
of the freshmen
a know-
ledge of the campus
and functions
of
the college.
The day commenced
with a Mass
for freshmen
and their
parents
in Our
Lady Seat of Wisdom
Chapel
at ten
o'clock.
Due to the large
number
of
persons
attending
the Mass,
all other
resident
students were required
to at-
tend a later
Mass
at eleven
o'clock.
Clebrant
of the Mass for parents
was
the school chaplain,
Father
Driscoll.
Inhis sermon Father Driscoll
stressed
the point that parents
have entrusted
the care of their sons to the faculty
of
cont. from p. 1
coveries about the crystals
and this led
to the theory of elasticity.
There
was
a consequential
look taken at the
re-
gularity
of crystals
and also the regu-
larity of molecular
structure.
Dalton is responsible
for the growth
oi atomic theory
in chemistry
with a
constant
relationship
being
shown
in
compounds.
For a while there was a lull in the
development
because
of philosophical
views of positivism,
nothing new
was
discovered,
and also the electromag-
netic theory
was now coming into its
own.
Faraday
had mainly
a continuum
theory at this time.
The next impor-
tant step was the showing of detailed
arrangement
in the atom and how many
different compounds
could exist, by the
scientist
Frankoff.
About 1900 the
feeling
changes
about atoms and they felt that the atom
couldnowbe
charged and possess
more
energy than an uncharged
one.
How-
ever, there is still a non-,acceptable
on
the part of some people
such as the
philosophers
who were no scientists.
With the move
into the modern
period new questions
faced and still do
face the scientists.
Not really
new
questions
but the same
old ones ob-
served in a different
way.
Are parti-
cles divisible?
Some scientists
insist
that you cannot say it just depends
on
the means you use.
Another important
problem
relates
to empty
space.
Is
the force field which exists in the empty
space of the atom material?
This ques-
tion has not been answered
conclusively,
but depends
on definition
of
ierms.
The final problem
is that of fluctuations
and how to account for them
We have arrived
in the modern era
with more knowledge
of atomic theory
but we also have more
unanswered
questions.
THE RECORD
the college and that each student
must
sacrifice
His time,
and study what is
necessary
for his success,
though
it
may mean some suffering
on his part.
After Mass a continental
breakfast
of
coff_ee and buns was served in the gym-
nasium.
Following
the breakfast,
families
of the freshmen
were permitted
to tour
the entire campus.
At 3: 30 P. M. in the gymnasium,
. two members
of the faculty were intro-
duced to parents
by Walter
Herbst,
President
of the Student Coun.cil. They
were
Br.
Paul
Stokes,
Dean,
who
welcomed
parents
to Marist
and Br.
Linus Foy,
President
of the college.
Brother
Linus gave a concise
history
of Marist
from its beginnings
in 1946
to its present
status.
Discussed
were
the rapid growth of the college
in the
future.
Also concerned
with Brother
Linus'
speech
was the role
of each
freshman
as in integral
part
of the
student enrollment.
He said that each
freshman
must be willing to accept
the
successes
or failures
that he may en-
counter
and use
them
as
stepping
stones to the worth goal of a college
degree.
After
Brother
Paul
and Brother
Linus
had spoken,
an entertainment
program
began.
It was entitled
"This
Is Your
Talent"
and was emceed
by
John Christie.
As the name
of
the
program
implies,
its purpose
was to
show parents
the accomplishments
of
their
sons in presenting
their
musi-
cal and vocal talents.
Preparation
of
the gymnasium
and stage for the pro-
gram were done by the student brothers.
.
Entertainme_nt
began with the sing-
ing of the Marist
song by the Glee Club
directed
byMr.
Carmen,
and accom~
panied by Alexander
Arena,
who later
played
a piano
solo.
Following
his
selections
was a solo by accordianist
Leonard
Ciacio,
assisted
by Terrence
Weber playing the drums
and Vincent
Amodeo,
bass fiddle.
Then the noted
"New Eastern
Trio" of Lawrence
Plo-
ver,
Frank
Nemitz
and Joe Mitchell
sang.
Joe Mitchell
later
sang
some
poems
for
which
he had
composed
music.
Following
a ten -minute
intermis-
sion,
Maris:t
College• s own "Bobby
Darin",
Dennis Feeney,
sang with the
aid of a six-piece
band.
The members
of the
band
were
Al Hartwell
and
Terrence
Becker
(guitars),
Leonard
Ciacio
(accordian),
Gerald
Fouche
(saxaphone),
Vincent
Amodeo
(bass
fiddle),
and Terrence
Weber (drums).
This concluded
the entertainment
pro-
gram.
As a conclusion
to the day, parents
were given the opportunity
of speaking
to their sons' teachers
and other mem-
bers
of the faculty who were present
for interviews.
This
meeting
estab-
lished

The topic of the debates
was the
resolution
that
"The

free
trade with non-Communist
nations.
11
Religious and laymen from the re-
presented
schools
served
as judges.
The moderators
were members
of
the
freshman
class.
Of the 17 schools represented,
the
Regis team,
coached by the Rev. Vin-

compiled
the low
score of 18 points while
suffering
only
one loss in six decisions.

as fans
cheer Red Fox team to 69-54 win.
The
evening
of November
20th
saw
the
Marist
quintet
open their
home season before an overflow crowd.
All the spectators
were treated
to a
show of power
as the home cagers
rolled over Rockland
69-54.
For
the major
part
of the first
half the game was a nip and tuck
af-
fair.
During
this
period
the lead
changed hands eight times.
As inter-
mission
came Marist
was on top by a
slim 28-25 score.
When the final period
opened the
invaders
never had a chance. · The Red-
Foxes
began
to press
as well as ball-
hawking which accounted
for our quick
spurt
into a big lead.
Rockland never
again came
close and at one point fell
behind by 26 points.
Pacing
the onslaught
was Captain
Fred
Weiss
with 18 points and 15 re-
bounds.
Behind
Weiss
in the scoring
time was Tom Finucane
with 14, Den

Brien
with 12 and Jim Clancy with
10.
The last one, Clancy,
rose from
the bench
to score
his points.
Tom
Trojanowski
pushed
in an additional
9 points.
Rounding
out the
scoring
attack
was Dave Flynn with 4 and Jim
Daley
with 2.
Tuesday
night,
November
27th
saw
the Marist
hardwood
crew engage
in their first
away tilt of the campaign.
Playing
host
to the Red Foxes
was
Shelton
College
and
Lakeland
High
School.
In the season
opener Shelton
met their demise
by getting routed
89-
·51 before
a house
half-filled
with
Marist
men.
After
the first
nine
minutes
of
play the score
was tied 13-13,
never
again was it close.
At this point the
Foxes
turned
on the press
and started
a quick pull away.
Finally
when half
time
rolled
around
the
home
club
trailed
by 16 points,
43-27.
The second
half attack was led by
Tom
Finucane
when he scored
15 of
his 21 points.
During this period the
ball was stolen
12 times
by Marist,
7 times
by Tom
Trojanowski.
Not
much more can be said about the game
that isn't
made clear by the box score
except
it was never
a close
game
and
let• s do it again.

court.
It was the third straight
victory
of
the new season
for
the cagers.
They
have yet to lose.
The game saw the home club jump
to an early lead and never be threaten-
ed.
From
the outset
of the game it
was apparent
that the lack of height on
the Berkshires
quad would be a factor.

Wade started
the same five men as
he did in the first
two contests
of the
year,
Weiss,
O'Brien,
Finucane,
Flynn
and Trojanowski.
With the contest
ten minutes
o.ld he
began substituting.
The defense
was as it had been in
the first
two tilts,
very solid.
Tom
Trojanowski,
one of the top scorers
on
last
year's
team
has
been serving
as
the playmaker
on the club and his de-
fense
has helped hold down the opposi-
tion's
total.
Denny O'Brien
has been
outstanding
on defense
also and his out-
side
shooting
has made him one of the
big threats
on the club.
Wade's
charges
rolled up a 44-24
lead
at the half and returned
after the
intermission
to pile up 54 points to the
hapless
Knights• total of 19.
The depth of the squad was shown
in the second half as John Ouellet
came
off the bench and tallied
five field goals
in six minutes.
Bernie
Dooley
also
came on to make a fine showing.
"Offi-
cer" Jim Daly, a veteran
of last year's
club,
played
most of the second stanza
and chipped in with several
fine scores.
Fizz
LaForge
and
Wally
Barisonek
made fine showing
and contributed
to
the fine all-round
team effort.
All the members
of the team saw
action in the game and all scored.
With
the showings
the team has made in its
initial outings,
prospects
are very good
for a very
successful
seadon.
The
bench
strength
and the high spirit
that
follows the team both point toward this.
Tom Wade has done a fine job with some
excellent
players.

gatta.
The races commenced
at 10: 30
A. M. , and the participants
were Ford-

Iona College and Mar-
ist College.
The results
were measur-
ed in points with Iona holding top posi-
tion with 20 points,
Fordham
second
with 15 points and Marist
third with 14
points.
One point is given for
every
boat you surpass
and 1 / 4 point for win-
ning.
Two different
courses
were follow-
ed.
First
was the windward-leeward;
then the triangular
course.
The
windward-leeward
encom-
passed
going from the starting
line to
just one mark in the triangular
pattern
and back to the starting
line,
which is
then the determined
finished line.
The
triangular
course
is a course
in which
all three
buoys are rounded
in a tri -
angular. pattern
and returning
to the
starting point.
The Marist
results
are as follows:
One first place by Tracy Flana-

At this writing
the hoop team has
made only one appearance
and we can
look
to the team
as improving
witq
time
as was shown in the initial outing
last week,
We certainly
hope that no
one left after the first
half because
it
was like two different
teams.
The club
worked
together
much
better
in the
second half but the lack of scrimmages
before
the opening game looked to be a
definite
handicap
in the first half of the
encounter.
Someone once said that the
best defense
was a good offense,
well
in the case of the Foxes it seems quite
different.
On
defense
the club leaves
little to be desired.
But their offensive
punch seemed
to be lacking in the first
half of the tilt.
We think that the work
of Tom. Finucane
and Denny O'Brien
will soon be changing this and combined
with the veteran
scoring
threat
of Fred
Weiss
could furnish
the needed scoring
drive.
The
Marist
inatmen
opened with
what, in the opinion of your two scribes,
was a very impressive
showing.
For
the handicaps
that the team had to put
up with they deserve
a great
deal of
credit.
A much more experienced
Rock-
land team had difficulty
in gaining its
23-15 win.
For many members
of the
Marist
swuad it was the_ir first taste of
the mat sport,

"Atomic Theory Past and Present",
the subject
of a lecture
by Dr.

Herzfeld

is one

in the

Dr. Herzfeld,

Mr.
Teichman
Guest Speaker
At
Second
Literary
Guild
Lecture
by W. Moran
"Many of the books of the Bible are
equal in artistry
to the works of Homer,
Shakespeare,
and Milton."
said Mr.
Milton Teichman,
guest speaker
at the
second lecture
in the series
sponsored
by the Literary
Guild.
On Thursday
about 65 students
heard Mr. Teichman
discuss
the story
of Joseph
and his
brothers
from a purely literary
point
of view.
Mr. Teichman
pointed out that al-
though the story was intended primarily
as a religious
work, it is an entertain-
ing
and creative
work of art
in
the
secular
world.
He showed that it is
true literature;
that it transcends
the
limits of time,
The following is a summary
of Mr.
Teichman' s talk.
The story of Joseph deals with the
a!fventures of a boy sold into slavery
by
his jealous brothers
and his rise to the
second most powerful position in Egypt.
The
plot
is
very
interesting.
Throughout
the entire
narrative
sus-
pense is generated.
We anticipate
the
emotional
reactions
of Joseph
and the
other
characters.
The personal
con-
flict between the characters
also helps
to hold our interest.
"
Though the plot is excellent,
we
would not enjoy reading
the story re-
peatedly
if the style was not equally
great.
The author
makes
very good
use of suggestion.
He does not give de-
tailed descriptions
of the characters
or
their emotional
responses.
This style
is quite
unlike
that
of the
Greeks.
Homer,
writing
at approximately
the
same
time,
gives
every
detail;
he
leaves nothing to the imagination.
It is this
absence
of detail
that
gives a story
universality.
An author
always
risks
becoming
sentimental
when he relates
each character's
emo-
tional response
in detail.
The biblical
author allows the reader to expand his
cont. on p. 4
The atomic
theory
had its begin-
nings with the Greeks who saw that the
material
world was made up of parti-
cles that were unchangeable,
indivisible
hard,. small,
present
in large numbers
and moving through empty space.
Aris-
totle came up with several
objections
to this theory
based
mainly
on two
points,
one that there was no necessity
for the existence
of indivisible
matter
and secondly
that empty space cannot
exist by itself.
He
felt
that there
was
a continuity in the world.
As time went on many other people
began to give their ideas on an atomic
theory.
The first. theory was not really
widely accepted
because
of the moral
character
of one of its founders,
Epi-
curius.
St. Thomas agreed for the most
part with Aristotle
but said that matter
could be continually
broken
down but
there might be a particle
of minimum
size which cannot
be proken
down.
Some ridiculous
theories
also came
out
and one of these was Descartes',
who
had a particle
as big as a star
and
friction
breaking
it
down into the
smaller
particles.
Further
attempts
were
made
on
the part
of scientists
to reintroduce
the atomic
theory
such as the effort
of the .priest Garsendi,
who tried to re-
habilitate
the life
of Epicurius
and
therefore
make the theory more accept-
able.
Another important
figure at this
time was Roger
Boscovitch
who saw
atoms as points without dimensions·
and
as the center of a field of force.
This
answered
part of the problem
that the
atomic theory had to answer in that now
the particles
repelled each other where-
as before people felt they would collide
and lose velocity therefore
going against.
the law of continuity.

Dear Editor:
If
I may quote the first

of your last editorial,
"The

of communication
by which news and
opinions of the editor may be transmitted.

What else is The Re-
cord?
I begin this little critique
by asking by whose criteria
is

I am not going through a long list of
grammatical
mistakes
found in our paper because
this might take
up twelve columns.
This would indeed be a great catastrophe
since it would mean the elimination
of such things as:
1. A wonderful
column-and-a-half
review on a play which can
be considered
a financial
"flop" for the Marist
College Student
Council.
This play was not even a Marist
College production.
Is

2.
A "Sports

such random thoughts
as
"Willie Mays
is better
than Mickey Mantle",
but even better,
"Foxes
out, Vikings in, •• " I believe this is the first time the men
of the College have seen the latter
statement
in print.
It
might
have been a good idea
if
The Record would have been aware of the
official Student Council action (and I compliment
Mr. Fogarty• s
column,
it is a step in the right direction)
rather
than change its
foundation.
If
this would have been done, maybe a little article
might have been included about this grave matter
of changing the

mascot.
I also failed to see an article
concerning
"one of", and I quote
a
faculty member,
"the largest

of the school
year"
Parents'
Day.
Last year's

about this most successful,
best attended
function.
Gentlemen
of The Record and fellow students,
I
have not offered
these observations
as material
for mere criticism,
rather
with a
purpose.
I have heard that The Record is failing in its promises
for bigger and better
editions,
and even those weekly editions be-
cause of lack of student participation,
If
this is so, then may I
suggest you also include a want ad in the next edition to read "Help

twenty-seven

If
they are sufficient,
then I simply ask,
Why?

In the letter

asked a question.
The other
night he unwittingly
answered
this question.
When asked to write
a short preview
of the proposed

Mr. Verrico
replied that he might.but
that he would not promise
anything.
This is the attitude which is so detrimental
to the func-

I THINK.I?
by A. Sapp
Question -
What
improvement
would
you most like to see on campus?
John Sullivan - What
I
would like to see
most is a decent football field.
Where
we have to play
now isn• t a
proper
place.
John Callahan
- We need some recrea-
tional facilities,
some kind of a student
union,
with pool tables,
ping pong and
a place to play cards.
Ray Bacchi -
The student
parking
lot
should be bigger
or else set up so that
you don't have to park so far away.
Walter
Bunten -
We
need a student
union.
The
cafeteria
should be
for
eating.
Dan Fogarty
- There
should be expan-
ded recreational
facilities
for both day
and dorm
students.
A student
union
and more activities
are what I would
like to see.
Pete Hanley - I'd like to see a student
union with a snack bar so that students
would have a place to go and just take
it easy.

handle
the Meredith
case well?

He did not.

place it was not the President,
but

Joe

I

he handled

The courts

He had
no choice but to enforce

He did not take the initiative

got out of hand.
James

Glee CI ub lnvi tes
New Membership
by J. Markett
Where are the musicians
of Marist
College?
We have
been
asking
this
question for two years and still have not
found an answer.
Are the only musi-
cians
the "Eastern
Trio".
an excellent
trio of folk singers?
Is it just the jazz
combo
on campus?
There
must
cer-
tainly be others who like to sing or play
instruments.
The Marist
College
Glee Club in-
vites, exhorts,
even politely begs those
who are interested
in singing to join
their
group.
We know there
must be
more than twelve people who like group
smging.
We also know there is strength
in numbers.
As an organization
the
Glee Club on campus
can accomplish
much for- a sc;hool but it needs wheels
to move.
For
those
who like
diversity
we
have already
been asked to sing jointly
with
St.
Francis
and Mt. St. Mary• s
Glee Club.
This cannot be done without
men.
We are not twelve apostles
who
can go around converting
others.
But
we sincerely
hope that those who are
interested
in group
singing
join us.

THE RECORD
NOCTURNE
This
is the
first
appearance
of
what henceforth
will be a regular
column
in this
paper.
Its purpose
is to set
forth
items
which may be of interest
to the entire
student body, but which
will particularly
interest
members
of
the
Evening
Division.
Contributions
and comments
are welcome.
Submit-
ted articles
can reach us through your
class representative.
On· October
27th,
a meeting of the
Evening Division
Student Council
was
held,
and the following
officers
were
nominated
and elected:
Chairman:
William Filomena
Vice-Chairman:
John Gallagher
Recording
Secretary:
Arthur Butts
Treasurer:
Charles
Newcomb
Brother
Cornelius,
sitting with the
Council'as moderator
and faculty repre-
sentative,
addressed
the Council
on
matters
of importance
to the College
and the student body.
After
delibera-
tion,
the Council decided on the follow-
~g
disbursements
from
the Evening
Division treasury:
A. The Record
-- $360. 00
These
funds were subscribed
for
the purpose
of defraying
the cost
of
making
copies
of the paper
available
to evening school students.
The dona-
tion also includes the cost of adding an
extra page to The Record,
occasioned
by the addition of this column.
B.
The New Boathouse
-- $500. 00
The new boathouse
will contain
a
gymnasium
on. its second floor which
will be used by the evening students
for
their
social
programs,
such as
dances,
films,
and
guest
lectures.
The regular
facilities
of the boathouse
will be available
to all students,
Eve-
ning
Division
included,
and after
a
cautious appraisal
of the physical
con-
dition of many of the night school mem-
bers,
it was agreed
they needed the
use of the athletic facilities
more than
the day students.
C. Cultural
Program
-- $300. 00
A cultural
film program
was pro-
posed
and a committee
nominated
to
recommend
films of merit.
When·the
schedule
is drawn,
it will be posted on
the bulletin
board.
Additional
notice
together
with content
comment,
will'
appear
in this
column
in the
week
prior to scheduled
showing.
All stu-
dents, their wives and friends,
will be
admitted
without
admission
charge,
and
as long as seats are available,
the
general public is also welcome.
One of the unfortunate
aspects
of
the Evening
Division
is the apparent
lack
of class or college spirit.
This is
understandable,
considering
normal
business
and family interests,
coupled
1rith an academic
program.
On this,
the comment might be made that some
people,
no matter
how busy they are
_can find time to add something
to their'

_Page 3
Saturday
night,
December
8th, the
Marist
Booster
Club will present
its
"Winter
Fantasy".
This semi-formal
dance,
featuring
the music
of a six
piece orchestra,
a cocktail hour,
and a
buffet dinner,
will be held in the college
cafeteria
from nine to one o• clock.
A dozen red roses will be presented
to the girl chosen as "Queen of the Win-
ter Fantasy".
Booster
President
Jim Pizzani
ex-
pressed
hope that 120 or more couples
will attend.
He predicts
that the "Win-
ter
Fantasy"
will
be "undoubtedly
the
most
successful
social
event
of
the
1-962 Fall semester."

Others,
no

can never find the
time to meet their schedule.
We hope
that you will find a little time to take
an interest
in the activities
of your
Student Council,
for its members
are
taking their time to consider
your in-
terests.
What they do is quite likely
to have a material
effect on your future
academic
program.
Right now, revi-
sions in the areas of curriculum,
even-
ing class
hours,
and credits
are being
discussed
with
the administration.
Your wishes
on any matter
can i:-each
the Council through the class represen-
tative
and if you didn't
consider
his
ability at election time,
now is the time
to begin
worrying.
Important
issues
will be submitted
to the general body of
students in a balloting
procedure
before
specific action is taken, but, many other .
matters
are
decided
solely
by the
Council when it is in session.
On matters

Parents Day
by P. Kearney
On
Sunday,
November
4th,
the
Third Annual Parents
Day of Marist
College was held.
It
was organized
by
the freshman
class under the direction
of Daniel Verrico
and John Christie,
co- chairmen of the program.
The pur-
pose of Freshman
Parents'
Day is to
give parents
of the freshmen
a know-
ledge of the campus
and functions
of
the college.
The day commenced
with a Mass
for freshmen
and their
parents
in Our
Lady Seat of Wisdom
Chapel
at ten
o'clock.
Due to the large
number
of
persons
attending
the Mass,
all other
resident
students were required
to at-
tend a later
Mass
at eleven
o'clock.
Clebrant
of the Mass for parents
was
the school chaplain,
Father
Driscoll.
Inhis sermon Father Driscoll
stressed
the point that parents
have entrusted
the care of their sons to the faculty
of
cont. from p. 1
coveries about the crystals
and this led
to the theory of elasticity.
There
was
a consequential
look taken at the
re-
gularity
of crystals
and also the regu-
larity of molecular
structure.
Dalton is responsible
for the growth
oi atomic theory
in chemistry
with a
constant
relationship
being
shown
in
compounds.
For a while there was a lull in the
development
because
of philosophical
views of positivism,
nothing new
was
discovered,
and also the electromag-
netic theory
was now coming into its
own.
Faraday
had mainly
a continuum
theory at this time.
The next impor-
tant step was the showing of detailed
arrangement
in the atom and how many
different compounds
could exist, by the
scientist
Frankoff.
About 1900 the
feeling
changes
about atoms and they felt that the atom
couldnowbe
charged and possess
more
energy than an uncharged
one.
How-
ever, there is still a non-,acceptable
on
the part of some people
such as the
philosophers
who were no scientists.
With the move
into the modern
period new questions
faced and still do
face the scientists.
Not really
new
questions
but the same
old ones ob-
served in a different
way.
Are parti-
cles divisible?
Some scientists
insist
that you cannot say it just depends
on
the means you use.
Another important
problem
relates
to empty
space.
Is
the force field which exists in the empty
space of the atom material?
This ques-
tion has not been answered
conclusively,
but depends
on definition
of
ierms.
The final problem
is that of fluctuations
and how to account for them
We have arrived
in the modern era
with more knowledge
of atomic theory
but we also have more
unanswered
questions.
THE RECORD
the college and that each student
must
sacrifice
His time,
and study what is
necessary
for his success,
though
it
may mean some suffering
on his part.
After Mass a continental
breakfast
of
coff_ee and buns was served in the gym-
nasium.
Following
the breakfast,
families
of the freshmen
were permitted
to tour
the entire campus.
At 3: 30 P. M. in the gymnasium,
. two members
of the faculty were intro-
duced to parents
by Walter
Herbst,
President
of the Student Coun.cil. They
were
Br.
Paul
Stokes,
Dean,
who
welcomed
parents
to Marist
and Br.
Linus Foy,
President
of the college.
Brother
Linus gave a concise
history
of Marist
from its beginnings
in 1946
to its present
status.
Discussed
were
the rapid growth of the college
in the
future.
Also concerned
with Brother
Linus'
speech
was the role
of each
freshman
as in integral
part
of the
student enrollment.
He said that each
freshman
must be willing to accept
the
successes
or failures
that he may en-
counter
and use
them
as
stepping
stones to the worth goal of a college
degree.
After
Brother
Paul
and Brother
Linus
had spoken,
an entertainment
program
began.
It was entitled
"This
Is Your
Talent"
and was emceed
by
John Christie.
As the name
of
the
program
implies,
its purpose
was to
show parents
the accomplishments
of
their
sons in presenting
their
musi-
cal and vocal talents.
Preparation
of
the gymnasium
and stage for the pro-
gram were done by the student brothers.
.
Entertainme_nt
began with the sing-
ing of the Marist
song by the Glee Club
directed
byMr.
Carmen,
and accom~
panied by Alexander
Arena,
who later
played
a piano
solo.
Following
his
selections
was a solo by accordianist
Leonard
Ciacio,
assisted
by Terrence
Weber playing the drums
and Vincent
Amodeo,
bass fiddle.
Then the noted
"New Eastern
Trio" of Lawrence
Plo-
ver,
Frank
Nemitz
and Joe Mitchell
sang.
Joe Mitchell
later
sang
some
poems
for
which
he had
composed
music.
Following
a ten -minute
intermis-
sion,
Maris:t
College• s own "Bobby
Darin",
Dennis Feeney,
sang with the
aid of a six-piece
band.
The members
of the
band
were
Al Hartwell
and
Terrence
Becker
(guitars),
Leonard
Ciacio
(accordian),
Gerald
Fouche
(saxaphone),
Vincent
Amodeo
(bass
fiddle),
and Terrence
Weber (drums).
This concluded
the entertainment
pro-
gram.
As a conclusion
to the day, parents
were given the opportunity
of speaking
to their sons' teachers
and other mem-
bers
of the faculty who were present
for interviews.
This
meeting
estab-
lished
a better
understanding
on the
part of piirents
of their
sons' teachers

Marist Conducts
Debate Tournament
by T. Troland
Regis
High School
of New
York
City captured
the first
place trophy
in
the Second Annual Marist
College
In-
vitational
Debate
Tournament
at the
college on November
10th.
The topic of the debates
was the
resolution
that
"The
United
States
should adopt a policy of reciprocal
free
trade with non-Communist
nations.
11
Religious and laymen from the re-
presented
schools
served
as judges.
The moderators
were members
of
the
freshman
class.
Of the 17 schools represented,
the
Regis team,
coached by the Rev. Vin-
cent Cooke,
S. J.,
compiled
the low
score of 18 points while
suffering
only
one loss in six decisions.
Second place
waG taken by Xavier
High,
whose
re-
cord was also
5-1,
scoring
23
points.
A tie between Brooklyn
Prep
and
St.
John's Prep was broken on the basis
of
speaking ability.
Each had scored
26
points
and had identical
5-1
records
but the third place trophy was awarded
to St. John's.
The first
place silver
trophy
was
awarded to Father
Cooke on behalf of
his victorious
team,
R.
Mannix,
J.
Koelte, R. Waltes,
and R. Merz,
amid
the applause
of all participants.
From
this enthusiasm
and the obviously great
amount of research
that went into each
argument,
it was apparent
that the de-
bate was a success.
It
should continue
to be such a success
for many years
to
come.

emotion

which this techni-
que allows enables
us to see the pro-

ists.

is open to a great deal of interpretation.

that the good man may suffer

as fans
cheer Red Fox team to 69-54 win.
The
evening
of November
20th
saw
the
Marist
quintet
open their
home season before an overflow crowd.
All the spectators
were treated
to a
show of power
as the home cagers
rolled over Rockland
69-54.
For
the major
part
of the first
half the game was a nip and tuck
af-
fair.
During
this
period
the lead
changed hands eight times.
As inter-
mission
came Marist
was on top by a
slim 28-25 score.
When the final period
opened the
invaders
never had a chance. · The Red-
Foxes
began
to press
as well as ball-
hawking which accounted
for our quick
spurt
into a big lead.
Rockland never
again came
close and at one point fell
behind by 26 points.
Pacing
the onslaught
was Captain
Fred
Weiss
with 18 points and 15 re-
bounds.
Behind
Weiss
in the scoring
time was Tom Finucane
with 14, Den

Brien
with 12 and Jim Clancy with
10.
The last one, Clancy,
rose from
the bench
to score
his points.
Tom
Trojanowski
pushed
in an additional
9 points.
Rounding
out the
scoring
attack
was Dave Flynn with 4 and Jim
Daley
with 2.
Tuesday
night,
November
27th
saw
the Marist
hardwood
crew engage
in their first
away tilt of the campaign.
Playing
host
to the Red Foxes
was
Shelton
College
and
Lakeland
High
School.
In the season
opener Shelton
met their demise
by getting routed
89-
·51 before
a house
half-filled
with
Marist
men.
After
the first
nine
minutes
of
play the score
was tied 13-13,
never
again was it close.
At this point the
Foxes
turned
on the press
and started
a quick pull away.
Finally
when half
time
rolled
around
the
home
club
trailed
by 16 points,
43-27.
The second
half attack was led by
Tom
Finucane
when he scored
15 of
his 21 points.
During this period the
ball was stolen
12 times
by Marist,
7 times
by Tom
Trojanowski.
Not
much more can be said about the game
that isn't
made clear by the box score
except
it was never
a close
game
and
let• s do it again.

Thursday
night
at the

court.
It was the third straight
victory
of
the new season
for
the cagers.
They
have yet to lose.
The game saw the home club jump
to an early lead and never be threaten-
ed.
From
the outset
of the game it
was apparent
that the lack of height on
the Berkshires
quad would be a factor.

Wade started
the same five men as
he did in the first
two contests
of the
year,
Weiss,
O'Brien,
Finucane,
Flynn
and Trojanowski.
With the contest
ten minutes
o.ld he
began substituting.
The defense
was as it had been in
the first
two tilts,
very solid.
Tom
Trojanowski,
one of the top scorers
on
last
year's
team
has
been serving
as
the playmaker
on the club and his de-
fense
has helped hold down the opposi-
tion's
total.
Denny O'Brien
has been
outstanding
on defense
also and his out-
side
shooting
has made him one of the
big threats
on the club.
Wade's
charges
rolled up a 44-24
lead
at the half and returned
after the
intermission
to pile up 54 points to the
hapless
Knights• total of 19.
The depth of the squad was shown
in the second half as John Ouellet
came
off the bench and tallied
five field goals
in six minutes.
Bernie
Dooley
also
came on to make a fine showing.
"Offi-
cer" Jim Daly, a veteran
of last year's
club,
played
most of the second stanza
and chipped in with several
fine scores.
Fizz
LaForge
and
Wally
Barisonek
made fine showing
and contributed
to
the fine all-round
team effort.
All the members
of the team saw
action in the game and all scored.
With
the showings
the team has made in its
initial outings,
prospects
are very good
for a very
successful
seadon.
The
bench
strength
and the high spirit
that
follows the team both point toward this.
Tom Wade has done a fine job with some
excellent
players.

On Saturday November
17th Marist
College
hosted
their
first
sailing
re-
gatta.
The races commenced
at 10: 30
A. M. , and the participants
were Ford-
ham University,
Iona College and Mar-
ist College.
The results
were measur-
ed in points with Iona holding top posi-
tion with 20 points,
Fordham
second
with 15 points and Marist
third with 14
points.
One point is given for
every
boat you surpass
and 1 / 4 point for win-
ning.
Two different
courses
were follow-
ed.
First
was the windward-leeward;
then the triangular
course.
The
windward-leeward
encom-
passed
going from the starting
line to
just one mark in the triangular
pattern
and back to the starting
line,
which is
then the determined
finished line.
The
triangular
course
is a course
in which
all three
buoys are rounded
in a tri -
angular. pattern
and returning
to the
starting point.
The Marist
results
are as follows:
One first place by Tracy Flana-

At this writing
the hoop team has
made only one appearance
and we can
look
to the team
as improving
witq
time
as was shown in the initial outing
last week,
We certainly
hope that no
one left after the first
half because
it
was like two different
teams.
The club
worked
together
much
better
in the
second half but the lack of scrimmages
before
the opening game looked to be a
definite
handicap
in the first half of the
encounter.
Someone once said that the
best defense
was a good offense,
well
in the case of the Foxes it seems quite
different.
On
defense
the club leaves
little to be desired.
But their offensive
punch seemed
to be lacking in the first
half of the tilt.
We think that the work
of Tom. Finucane
and Denny O'Brien
will soon be changing this and combined
with the veteran
scoring
threat
of Fred
Weiss
could furnish
the needed scoring
drive.
The
Marist
inatmen
opened with
what, in the opinion of your two scribes,
was a very impressive
showing.
For
the handicaps
that the team had to put
up with they deserve
a great
deal of
credit.
A much more experienced
Rock-
land team had difficulty
in gaining its
23-15 win.
For many members
of the
Marist
swuad it was the_ir first taste of
the mat sport,

hope that the college
will- soon have the
complete
facilities
to conduct
a full
program.
The team
has
a tentative
meet against the Arlington Barbell
Club,
a local organization,
We notice
that the ball is really
rolling
toward
the ground breaking
for
the new boathouse.
A model of the
structure
has
been
on display
in the
school
and reaction
to the building
is
very
favorable.
We hope that by the
time the crew begins its spring work ..
outs work will be under way.
Rumor
has
it that
Bill
Lenahan,
former
Marist
student,
will be moving
into a top position
with the Roosevelt
High School football team next fall.
Bill
had been
assisting
Ed
·
Donohue
at
Lourdes,
with their
highly
successful
grid program
this year.
Fred Weiss and John Romeo
have
undertaken
the highly unenviable
job
of
organizing
the intramural
basketball
program.
The program
is under the
sponsorship
of the Varsity
Club.
As
plans
have it, the slate begins on
the
4th of this month.

Thoughts:
Who won intramural
football?

Kudos to ex-cager
Ron Franks
on
his
engagement
•••• Nobody asked us,
but
it's
a shame
that Green Bay
will
go
out with a 1.3-1 record
this year.,
