Re·sident
Students to
hold Christmas
Party
by Daniel Verrico
·
The
Second
Annual
Christmas
party for the resident
students
has
been
planned
for December
13th and work
is now being done by the various
com-
mittees
whach have been set up.
Al-
though
the
actual
organization
did not
begin until Sunday, Dece:inber
2nd, all
resident
students
can be assured
of
a
very enjoyable
evening.
Under
the
direction
of
Brother
Andrew
Molloy
and
Walter Herbst,
there
have
been representatives
appoint-
ed from
each
floor of each dormitory
to
get help and to
collect
the nominal
fee
.
of one dollar.
A tentative
program
has
been set up and the
evening
of festivi-
ties will
include:
a cocktail
hour
at
5:00 P. M. with an alcoholic
punch
and
hors
d'oeurves,
followed
by
dinner.
During the meal,
music will be provided
for
by
the
student
brothers
band.
Waiters
will serve the meal to provide
for a more domestic
atmosphere.
After the meal, there will be enter-
tainment
provided
for by the students
and
our
most
entertaining
Brother
Proctors
with Paul 1\IIargentino as Em-
cee.
This then will be followed
by a
movie
in
the auditorium
and to close
the evening,
Christmas
carols
will be
sung at various
points on the campus.
To those men who went last year,
they can remember
the good time
all
had,
and for new resident
students,
please be assured
of a good time.
One
of the most important
aspects
of this
party
is
that-
everyone
participate.
With the spirit
of Christmas
in mind,
all should remember
that the more you
put into this party,
the more you will
get out of it.

inspection
team
sent
by
the
Middle
States
Association
of Colleges.
The purpose
of
the self-survey
and
the
investigation
by the inspection
team
is
to obtain
membership
in
the
Middle
States Association.
If the timetable
proposed
by the
college
is accepted,
the visit by the
ac-
creditation
team will take place
some-
time in the Fall of 1963.
Intensive
work will begin on De-
cember
17th, when the Accreditation
Committee
will
meet on campus
with
F.
Taylor
Jones,
Executive
Secretary
of the Middle

At
this meeting
Mr. Jones will approve
or
alter

of work drawn
up uy the

One of the most spectacular
social
weekends
of the school year took place
on December
1st with
the

and basket-

losing.
In the afternoon
at

from St.

New Paltz,
and several
other schools were
repre-
sented at the dance.
In the later
evening another
mixer
was held after the hard fighting
Marist
team lost its game to New
Paltz.
The
same
groups
of girls,
many
of whom
also attended
the game,
were there for
this dance.

a similar
committee
at
St.
Mary's
College,
Minnesota,
during
their
evaluation
process.
Miss Tabor
was
Dean at Pratt
College
during
two in-
spection
visits of Middle States teams.
Membership
in this association
is
ageneral
guarantee
to students,
faculty
and community
that the college
is ful-
filling
its purposes
as
an
educational
institutfon.
More
concretely,
member-
ship will enable
students
to transfer
more
easily
to
other
colleges
and to
enter
graduate
schools
particularly
those
in the
Middle
and Far
West which
have
no
previous
experience
with
Marist
graduates.
During
a
self-evaluation,
the
in-
stitution
determines
its purposes
in re-
ceiving
students
and its objectives
in
offering
them
the
experiences
of its
particular
educational
program.
Once
the
college has defined its purposes
and
objectives,
it
examines
how well it is
succeeding
in
achieving
these
ends.
General
organization,
administration,
faculty,
physical
plant,
educational
program,
sports,
extracurricular
acti-
vities
---
every
aspect
of the college
is studied
carefully.
Such
a
study in-
volves the assistance
of administrators,
faculty and students.
The
college
considered
applying
for Middle States membership
in 1957,
but decided
to wait until such time as
the eventual
pattern
of religious
stu-
dents,
commuters,
boarders,
and
even-
ing school became
clear.
However,
in
its rapid expansion
program
it
has at-
tempted
to achieve
the
excellence
necessary
for membership.
In
evaluating
a college,
the Middle
States
Association
does not attempt
to
force the college
into any set pattern.
However,
it does insist
that there
are
certain
characteristics
and
qualities
which are common
to all superior
in-
stitutions
of higher
education.
Among
these common denominators
are:
Curricula
which provide,
emphas-
ize, or rest
upon
general
or liberal
education.

Just for the record,
James
Meredith,
the controversial
University
of Mississippi
student,
was
not the first qualified
negro
to attempt
admission
to
that school.
Clyde Ken-
nard,
a native of Hattiesburg,
Missis-
sippi,
had tried earlier
to enroll at the
University
of Southern
Mississippi.
Clyde had studied at the University
of Chicago for three years,
but in 1955
he returned
home to assist
his parents.
The small
family
farm
was located
within 15 minutes
driving time from the
University
of Southern
Mississippi,
where Clyde hoped to continue his edu-
cation.
He first applied for admission
in 1958 whereupon
he was summoned
to
Jackson,
the state capital,
for a meet-
ing with the Governor
and the Univer-
sity president.
Kennard
was told that
if
he withdrew
his application
he could
select
any college
in America
that
would
admit
him,
and
the
State
of
Mississippi
would pay his
expenses.
He refused.
He was then requested
to
withhold his application
until after
the
fall elections,
which he did.
The following
fall,
1959,
Clyde
formally
applied
for
admission.
He
was rejected
on the grounds
of "defi-
ciencies
and irregularities"
in his ap-
plication.
From the interview,
headed
by the state's
chief investigator
for the
segregation
enforcing
Sovereignty
Commission,
.
Clyde
returned
to
his
parked
car.
Waiting for him were two
constables.
He was arrested
for reek-
Just for the
Record
by Roger Sullivan
less
driving,
and hauled
off to
the
police station.
At
,;he
station house
he
was confronted
with five
pints
of whis-
key, claimed
to have been found in a
search
of his car.
Illegal
possession
of liquor was added to the charges.
A
justice
of the
peace
found
Kennard
guilty, fined him 600 dollars
and costs.
An appeal was denied.
After rejecting
the application,
the
then
Governor
Coleman
reportedly
stated,
"If Clyde did reapply,
there'd
be no way of holding him out, because
his record
was sufficient.
The only al-
ternative
would be to close the school. "
That proved unnecessary.
On September
25,
1960,
a local
warehouse
was burglarized
of five sacks
of chicken
feed,
valued
at 5 dollars
each.
An illiterate
19=year old negro,
Johnny Roberts,
confessed
to the theft.
He turned
state's
evidence,
claiming
the job had been instigated
and planned
by Clyde.
At the trial,
conflicting
facts were elicited
from Roberts,
and
a safe
inference
can be drawn
that
Clyde
had no way of knowing
the in-
formation
imputed
to him by Roberts.
In short,
the whole
affair
reeked
of
collusion,
collusion
between
the State
and Roberts.
Nevertheless,
Roberts
and Kennard
were
both
found guilty.
Roberts
received
a five year suspended
sentence.
Kennard,
convicted
bf being
an accessory,
received
a seven
year
sentence
to the penitentiary.
In a year and a half, James
Mere-
dith may receive
his degree
from the
University
of Mississippi.
Clyde Ken-
nard will never receive
any degree from
any university
in Mississippi,
for state
law prohibits
anyone
convicted
of a
felony from enrolling
in a state institu-
tion.
Kennard'
s reward
will be another
five years in the Parchman
Penitentiary·.
Just
one more
comment
on the
Mississippi
situation
appears
to be in
order.
Recently,
three students
of the
University
of Mississippi
were expelled
forbeinginpossession
of private
armo-
ries.
How long they
will
be out is
an-
other question.
This appears
to have
been a token gesture
to satisfy
public
opinion.
Colleges
and universities
are
amongthe
few institutions
in
this coun-
trywhere
ideals are placed before mate-
rial standards.
In
view
of the Missi-
ssippi rioting,
one wonders
precisely
what ideals are being taught at the Uni-
versity of Mississippi,
and the students
are by no means the only ones at fault.
The faculty,
by their
very
silence,
condoned
the affair.
In our
opinion,
they deserve
the strongest
castigation.
By skillful machination,
as in the
case of Clyde Kennard,
controversial
issues are often prevented
from reach-
ing public attention.
Mississippi
seems
to be a long way from here,
or is it?
What do you think you would have done
if you had been
a student
or faculty
member
of the University
of Mississi-
ppi?
Would you have
ventured
your
neck for Kennard
or Meredith?

'Students'
Dear Editor:
The Literary
Guild is going to pub-
lish this year's
first issue of The Mos-
aic early in February.
Many articles
have been submitted
and in general
in-
terest
has been shown.
Unfortunately,
the passage
above
contains
half-truths.
The statements
arc what are technically
called "mental
reservations".
The
passage
should
read as follows:
The Literary
Guild is
going to publish this year's
first
issue
of The Mosaic
early
in February.
IF
THE STUDENT BODY REVERSES
ITS
APATHETIC
ATTITUDE
ON STUDENT
PUBL!CA TIONS.
Many articles
have
been
submitted
BY THE
STUDENT
BROTHERS
and in general
great
in-
terest
has
been
shown
by NO ONE.
These last statements
relate
the situa-
tion as it actually
is.
Your answerto
Mr.
Verrico'
s letter
aptly
described
the situation.
The Record
and the Mosaic
are
student publications.
The key word
is
STUDENT.
I will not give a detailed
definition
of what a student
is because
I am not sure that
there
are
any at
Marist
College.
If
there
are,
I hope
they will forgive
me for
making
this
"rash"
statement.
It is best that I de-
fine "student"
as "anyone
who walks
the halls of and sits in the classrooms
of the Donnelly
Building."
It is the
responsibility
of these
people
to pro-
vide the material
for the newspaper
and the literary
magazine.
Certainly
not every student is cap-
able
of writing
for these
activities.
But there
must be more people at Mar-
ist who are qualified
than have shown
themselves.
Perhaps
they are modest.
Perhaps
they are afraid
of recognition.
Perhaps
they are lazy.
Perhaps
I could
go on saying "perhaps
......
", but all
of this rationalization
does not change
the fact that the students
do not give a
rap.
Anything
that you or I write on
this topic will probably
be ignored
by
the majority,
but there
is always
the
hope that our appeals
will incite
a few
to action.
This is the purpose
of my
letter.
I am appealing
to any student
who
has the DESIRE to write.
All I ask is
that he type his material
and submit
it.
We (the students)
need short
stories,
essays,
and poems
if
we are to publish
an issue of The Mosaic
this semester.
The prose
material
should b_e at least
five pages in length.
The deadline
has
been extended
until January
4, 1963.
I
needallofthe
cooperation
WE can give.
I would like to thank
Mr.

from

for his constant

If

A comment
seems
to be in order
concerning
attendance
at the Evening

Council meetings.
The num-
ber of representatives
attending
these
meetings
appears
to be steadily
dwin-
dling. At the last meeting
only eight re-
presentatives
appeared.
(Your repor-
ter was one
of the many

)
This is a bad sign, not only because
it
shows a lack of interest,
but more im-
portant,
the zealous
members
who do
attend haven't
the slightest
aversion
to
introducing
unusual resolutions.
One of
these days,
when the haze kicked up by
ricochetting
resolutions
clears
away,
you just might find that a measure
has
been passed
requiring
Evening

sion students
to wear

One of the Council

Lou

Xmas
to
the Bookstore
Dear Editor:
Now that we are
entering
the sea-
son of Christmas,
a season
celebrating
the birth of Christ,
we often see signs
along the roads reminding
us to "Keep
Christ
in Christmas".
The reason
be-
hind these signs is that his Holy Day is
losing its religious
meaning.
Christ
is being overshadowed
by the material
aspect
of this feast.
Last
year
your
bookstore
had
a
window display
which centered
its
at-
tention
upon the main figures
of Christ-
mas;
Christ,
His Mother
and foster
father.
This
year the snow has drifted
in another
direction.
Your
bookstore
is featuring
me as the main character.
This
would be fine
in an
institution
where religion
was not taught
and fos-
tered.
But, yours is a Catholic
college.
I owe a great deal to the Holy Fam-
ily of Bethlehem;
I owe them my job.
While it is fine that I bring
the
gifts
under
the tree
to the
children
of the
United States,
I cannot
in all justice
let myself
be portrayed
as Christmas•
central
figure.
This fact must
remain
in my mind, with all the praise
that I
getatt>his
time of the year,
and it must
remain in the minds of all people every-
where -- Christ
is Christmas.
May I urge
that
your
bookstore
keep Him in mind.
Wishing you a very happy Christ-
mas.
I remain

THE RECORD
Marist
Cagers
Lose 60-49, to
New
Paftz
Edge Kings College
58-56,
by John Barry
Before
an aroused,
noisy,
crowd
of
1,200
fans the New Paltz
Hawks
dropped
the Marist
cagers
from
the
ranks
of the undefeated,
60-49.
The
game was played
on December
1st in
the New Paltz High School gym.
During the opening segment
of the
contest
the Red Foxes
connected
with
only 23 percent
of their
attempts.
In
the meantime
the Hawks bombed through
15 out of 19
!
This,
added to the lack
of rebounds,
accounted
for our defeat.
While we shot our
dismal
percentage
from the floor the home town hoopsters
ran up a 31-18 half time lead.
The second
half of the game saw
Fred Weiss
break
loose for
19
of his
26
points.
This was the only reason
the final score was
as
close as it turned
out.
Den O'Brien
drew the distinction
of being the first Marist
cager
to foul
out of a game this season.
This situa-
tion didn't
help out the rebounding
in
any way,
and mainly
that's
why we
lost,
not O'Brien
but the rebounding.

the second
half the Red Foxes
opened
an 11 point lead only to see the invaders
come back to a 40-40 tie.
Before the game could be drawn to
a close the Kings
quintet
committed
four intentional
fouls
within
the last
minute of play.
At the time of these
infractions
the score
was 57-56
but
the only one able to
cash in was Tom
Trojanowski.
The Monarchs
fired off
one last shot after this,
but it failed.
The starting
lineup saw one change
from earlier
games.
Jim Clancy
re-
placed Dave Flynn in the back court,
a
change for height.

Brien
kept
his string
going by fouling out of his
second straight

This time

The
Marist
College
Basketball
team
lost the first
pressure
game
of
its young life, if for no other
reason
then the team is young.
The display at
New Paltz
Saturday
night proved
only
that there is no substitute
for experi-
ence.
True,
that this game may have
seen the opposition
shoot with uncanny
luck in the opening
twenty
minutes
of
the tilt,
but there
was no excuse
for
Marist' s failure
to pull down rebounds
and shoot with a slightly better
accuracy.
The Hawks were not forcing
Marist
to
take the "bad" shot,
the Foxes took it
themselves.
The next time
the two
clubs
meet
it will
be fifteen
games
later
and the story may be different.
Our sailors
"beat"
Fordham,
Iona,
RPI and Columbia
in the first
frostbite
regatta.
The races
were
handicapped
by
the lack of wind.
On one occasion
as
the boats
neared
the finish
line
they
were
becalmed
and the tide
carried
them back upriver.
It is official
now that the paunchy
half of this noted reporting
team
has
taken the golden
rod
on his
Eastern
conference
prediction
of a Cleveland
Brown victory.
Well, at least we were
half right
in the East.
Being a man
who doesn't
know when he is well off,
the taller
half of this team will try for
two straight
correct
picks
and go with
the Giants
again.
The paunchy
half
disagrees
and picks
Green
Bay over
the Eastern
division
champions.

Thoughts:
What
was
it
that the New Paltz team had for a mas-
cot last
Saturday?
And what was that
mess it made on the floor?
.•.. We see
that Poughkeepsieite
Al Butts is a cap-
tain of the Columbia
University
football
team and now it must be time to pick
the captain of the Marist bowling
team.
The
intramural
basketball
campaign
seems
to be shaping
up to be quite
a
battle. . • .
What happened
to potential
matman
Jim Pizzani?
Could it be he
has moved out to make room for Splin-
ter
Gilman?
• . . . It certainly
was a
pleasure
to hear
a real
professional
announcer
at New Paltz last week.
