A
Local .Gu'tu
As in the previous edition which denounced much of the liberal
arts core
as
being irrelevant or absurd, this issue will suggest a few
possible solutions to this abiding enigma. •
·
· .
The Circle woulq like' to comment on a few thoughts of Paul
Goodman (noted author of Compulsory Mis-Edut;ation and Growing
Up
Absurd) expressed in his critical article "Thoughts on Berkely ."
It is almost striking at fll'St to realize that college students
throughout the nation are demanding reform from administrations
in the areas of academic freedom." Goodman writes, "Students want
to extend the concept of Academic Freedom from the 'Lehrfreiheit'
(freedom of professors to teach according to their lights) to include
"Lemfreiheit' (freedom of student~ to .ask for what they need to be ·
taught, and
if
necessary to invite teachers, including advocates of
causes)."
·
Some progressive faculty ,members with undergraduate support ,
should be able to regain perrogatives that were formerly lost to the
administration, e.g., discipline. Core courses in the humanities might
be better communicated if the teacher did not have to operate under
the limits and designs of the course.Teachers might refuse to handle
apnormally large classes· forcing the college to hire more specialized
faculty. Another possibility might be that teachers would refuse to
give grades in their core· subjects,
so· as to derive more student
·participation than competion.

staff plans to study the election with more depth and hopefully
more clarity.
.·
·
At the moment three candidates have thrown their hats. in the
ring; Joseph Francese, Daniel McCleary, and Steven Nohe. As it
looks now, the battle
will
be between Francese and Nohe -
undoubtably a tough, friend-losing t.one. McCleary appears as a dark
horse, with everi darker chances

succeeding with Hulett as his
campaign manager.
' It
would be unreasonable, at this moment, for the Circle to lean
toward any one candidate at this moment. However, by March the
choice of who to vote for (or against) should be reasonably clear. At
that time we will endorse a candidate.
With only a week of campaigning, it is doubtful that the
candidates will be able to respond (in print) to our editorial decision.
However, the Staff is scheduling a "meet the press," hopefully on
the eve of election week. At this time members from within and
outside of the Circle will question the candidates in an open seminar.
Rather than debate among themselves, the candidates will have to
respond to face our questions and those floored from the audience.
We hope to raise questions that will demand well-informed,
precise, an intelligent candidates to answer them. Perhaps fire from
the Circle will result in a clearer picture of each candidate as
· president.
For More
Of
Les
Electing a vice president to the Student Government is a
·consideration to be taken most seriously, especially after the '68-'69
experience of "leadership."
, The major consideration that should pervade the constitituents• ·
minds is the liability of a president's inability to continue in office ..
Although t~e possibilities of a student government president talcing
ill while in office are remote, the possibilities of his being incapable
of leadership are not. This
is
clearly in evidence today.
However, MOTH was fortunate to have elected Les Lombardi as
their Veep. The constitutional responsibilities of the vice president
are more-or-less (no pun intended) restricted to the organization of
campus clubs and the blood bank drive. In these respects Lombardi
bas
fulfilled his commitments. . To date he
has
called seven
mandatory meetings with club presidents, and the blood drive
is
succeeding.
In
addition, he
is
the sole officer who is available,
as
promised, in the student government office.
When leadership
is
failing. it
is
hoped - if not expected - that one
strong government member will respond. Lombardi did. He took on
tasks that had been delegated, but not enacted, to other Student·
Government officers or their appointees. For example, Lombardi
shouldered the task of publishing the Student Directory, which is
the immediate responsibility of the Secretariat - a presidential
appointee who has failed to produce. Another example - President
Hulett was directed to appoint two SG members to the King
Committee. After Hulett failed to do
so,
Lombardi took to the task
by working on the Committee himself.
There are other examples of the initiative of our present V.P., but
what remains for us to ponder is not his accomplishments but the
reminder that the office of vice president can be most effective, and
perhaps the only saving qualitf ~f_a.f~g
student government.

Dear Sir:
I have just managed to obtain
a copy
of . your interesting
nuJ\}ber of 19 December, and
would like to comment on one
article to which you gave
Page
One prominence.
You announced that two
public-spirited
citizens have
volunteered to help staff,. for
one hour each week, a Draft
Counseling Servic.e on the Marist
campus, thanks to the efforts of
. TAC. Knowing how progressive
and
broad-minded

gurus.
are, I am a bit surprised
that
they did not think of
rounding out their Counseling
Service by inviting me to serve
along with Messrs Schalk and
Stover. I have no doubt that
these gentlemen, whom I do not
know,
· possess
impressive.
qualifications for their task of
advising their juniors how best
to
fulfill
the obligations of
. citizenship.
Let it be known,. however;
that right here at Marist, on
campus four days a. week, there
is available in my person a
friendly guide and advisor who
has had perhaps more first-hand
experience
with the military
service than most others of our
community. Mr. Schalk taught
at M.I.T.? I taught and advised
cadets at West Point for ten
years, during my two tours of
duty there. Mr. Stover was at
Vassar? I have two daughters
there now - their older
sister
is
Vassar '62.
Of
course,
there
is an
embarrassing
asp_ect to my
involvement
in this
draft
business,
a rather
personal
thing,but I might as well confess .
- I
A VOIDED-THE DRAFT! I·
volunteered.
; . Since
I
was ·
married, it wasn't_ simple, and 1-
h ad
to have the
written·
permission of my . wife. Gosh,
how
square
can you get?
Anyway,
over
a period of
twenty-one
years, I had the
highly educational experience of
being on the Aimy Team, of
which I am proud still to be a
member (retired).
Since I have not been asked by
TAC to join their Counseling
Service, I think I'll just swallow
my disappointment and set up
shop on my own, over here in
209 Donnelly. Let all interested .
members
of
the
Marist
community
know that those
having questions relating to the
military
services which Mrs.
O'Brien's
office.
and Mr.
Mortensen cannot answer are
cordially invited to drop in and
talk the problem over with me.
I haven't been to Canada for
years,
though,

what I see now and· then in the

Another Star
Letter to
the
Editor:
· I personally find it pleasurable
to discover within myself the
desire to comment on
an
article
in the 31 January issue of The
Circle. I want to congratulate
the
editorial
staff and Mr. ·
Vincent
Buonora
for the.
concern and charity which
has
been exlul>ited in dealing with
changes
within
our campus
community
and within the
Church.
Mr.
Buonora's
article,
«Institutional
Darwinism"
(31/1/69), attempts to explain
many difficult
issues
which
are
being
faced
by members of the
people of God, both individually
and collectively. But I fear that
there
is an unintentional
oversimplication in making th~
issues
particularly
American.
This
is
true of the issues
raised
in
the article dealing with the
hierarchy.
Church structure,
ecclesiastical authority, celibacy. ·
and
the

Brother. The Spirit which moves.
the hearts of men has not been
limited to the American
scene;
it
is a ground-swell
which is
international.
·
named by
Mr.
Buonora are his
examples:
Tom Dooley and
Thomas Merton. Tom Dooley
is
an example of the layman who
chooses to lead a celibate life;
Thomas Merton illustrates the
decision to change status from
layman to contemplative priest
in a religi~us community.
.
It would be too easy for a
member
of
the
English
Department to comment here on
Frost's "Road Not Taken," or
even on Tom Dooley's favorite,
"Stopping
by Woods on a
Snowy Evening."
I
refrain from
reflecting on either. In place I
offer
for your consideration
Robert
Frost's
"Choose
Something Like a Star."
It

of men who do make a free,

Mr. Buonora seems to imply
that if the traditional European
influence
is
sloughed off . by
either the· Church or by the
Marist Brothers, in the United
States or elsewhere, we will be
left with something which is not
the Church of Christ or the
· Marist
Brothers of Marcellin
Champagnat. The only choice
which he seems to offer to the
Brothers-
is to retain
the
traditional
image or · to be

capitalist

author poses a question, moves
on to answer
it,
and then negates

life
as
laymen.
·It
may help to

If there
is
validity to the
statement made by the author
that ". : .celi~acy as a way o'f life
is beaµtiful,"
and if the
examples of men . ennumerated
are valid examples of such a·
choice, then we do have the
distinctive ''life style" which
evolves from something other
than European tradition. It is
evidence of a free, personal
choice to love the many through·
dedication to Christ.
It
is
a
commitment made by- men to
innervate the lives of ,many,
rather
.
than to propagate the
lives of a few. The two men

the Christian . commitment as. to

existence.·
It ·
might· ev~n say
something about ·. the questions
which the people of God are .
trying to answer in their own
, -human way. The decision is
beyoµd the question of what is
good; it is a question of what is
best for each man. Read Frost,
and try to understand why some
do ch~ose something like a star.
Peace.

fouled out on the freshman
team, the tall blond cheerleader
was
practicing
her jump
shot .... I'd like to congratulate
Carrot on his fabulous article
last
week. His style is clever and
his
jok_es were very humorous.
(Okay, I said it. Now do I get
my raise?) His title was really
clever, too, but unoriginal; he
stole it from another magazine,
•'Home
and
Garden"-
lead in the
first
.period
and
wasted only 30
seconds in the
second stanza
before
pinning
Carmine Tabacco
to
give
Marist
a 25-8 lead. Jack Walsh and Bill
McGarr won
by forfeit
in the
177 lb. and heavyweight classes,
respectively.
It
was
McGarr's
third forfeit win
in
a row. The
win pegged
.
Marist's record at
2-5.

Now that Bill Gowen is the
man of the hour, it
is
fitting that
he be the first to take the
spotlight in the new feature of

"In

to focus attention on a Senior

By the time this issue
reaches print, the Siena game
will be a thing of the past - I
hope that the bus is better
supported
than the one that
went
to
the Iona game; it should
.be,
if the
psyche
at the
Bloomfield
game
is any
indication!.

Did everyC>ne
.
notice at the Bloomfield game
how the golden foot of Doc
Goldman instinctively returned
the ball from out of bounds into
the arms of the ref
(I
guess he
didn't want to have to take a
lap) ... Kenny Thompson had
no trouble at all guarding his
man in the Danbury game - he
just
followed
the
"blue
sneaks" ... It looks like Bobby
Krenn
is
really coming into his
own
as a wrestler.._ after
struggling through the early part
of the season, he now has won
his last three matches in a
row ... With the recent addition
of three experienced grapplers -
Pete Masterson - 137 lbs., John
Lomitola - 167, and Hill Dourdis ·
- 177, the team should put on an
even
stronger

The crew team
seems
to
be getting
that
all-important imrredient. variety,
into their
workouts. They've
been playing basketbatr(at times
it could be mistaken for rugby)
to keep in shape and loosen up,
and last week they made a trip
trip to Kent High School in
Connecticut for an evening of
valuable rowing practice in the
tanks
there ...
