Alan Hulett, President of. the Stude_nt Council, was .acquited of
charges of negligence-in a mock council trial at 1 a.m. on Friday
February 14, 1969.·
·
..
In· the early .morning fiasco,·held only -by waving parliamentary
procedure, two council members sought to have Mr. Hulett removed
froni office for accusations stemming out of gross ·negligence. After
charges were · formally pressed testimony by .. the prosecution was
heard:

.
.
John
Daley, Representative_•72~ related incidents of Mr. :Hulett's
failure to keep appointments. Mike Shanley, Representative '69, told
the court of the Presidenes- failure to designate students to fill
committee jobs; Tom'1!aszewtiz, Representative '70, questioned-the
witnesses for the prosecution.
·
· . Mr.
Hulett's defense was sparked by the impassioned rhetoric of
Peter Tortorici class representative for sophomores. Most of the
evidence for the defense centered around general lack of student
participation. Jack Corcoran ·atmost succeeded in placing the entire
student body on trial rather than Alan Hulett.
When asked about the future of the Student Council Mr. Hulett ·
said he did not foresee much change. However, he felt proud to
inherit the sound council left by Joe Brosnan ..
Before a vote was taken the President announced that he would
resign
if
not impeached. Later Mr. Hulett reneged on this plea,
explaining it as an act minor irrational behavior.

effectiveness. In answer to the
question - "Do you think it
would be advisable for the newly
.elected President of the Student
Government
-to appoint an
ad-hoc commission to study the
constitution,
structure
and
effectiveness
of the Student
Government?" - over
80%
of the
students
responded
affirmatively. While it is true
that
the present constitution

newly
elected
government
to review
the
constitution at the beginning of
its administration, this ad-hoc
commission
would provide a
deeper

effectiveness.
It
would be
advisable, in our opinion, for the
new administration to appoint a
commission comprised of past
government officials and newly
elected members to the council
in order to benefit from past
experience and to present new
insights into the workings of the
government. A re-evaluation of
the committee, budgetary, and
representative
concepts could
prove
extremely
valuable.
Candidates might do well to
consider proposals on this issue
which undeniably carries student
support.
In response to the question -
"What issues do you feel should
play
a major
role
in the
upcoming student government
campaign?"
- those

that

Friday Night
~n- Perspective
Diainond .liin Brady
Our recent victory over Siena.
College, which was probably the
high
point
in
an already
successful,basketball season, was
the scene of a great performance
by unheralded co-captain Jim
Brady. Siena, our arch rivals,
again had a tall, tough, good
shooting team.
It
had to take a
good shooting performance for
Marist to pull out a victory.
However, in the first half, Ken
Thompson and Bill Gowen, our
two top shooters, were ice cold.
The team as a whole was playing
only me4iocre ball and they
trailed
by 6 with about
10
minutes gone. But then · Jim
Brady began to hit.
He hit four long jumpers in a
row, and
six
in the entire first
half. He was the one who kept
Marist in the game in the first
, half and, largely through
his.
efforts, Marist left the court
with a two point half time lead.
In the second half, however,
Thompson got hot and took care
of the
scoring, while Brady
continued
his excellent ball
handling and defense.
His accomplishment
reaches
even greater dimensions when
one realizes how important his
performance was. Ray Charlton,
our
high
scoring guard, was snow
bound in Long Island and was
unable to make the game. Thus
Jim was forced to go the route
for the
f]!St
time all year. But he
came through with as clutch a
performance
as
we have seen all
year, and, in the final seconds, it
was he who froze the ball
despite the frenzied efforts of
the beaten Siena tribe.
Thus, a ball player, whose all
around efforts had not been
justly recognized so farthis year,
showed that, when he had to; he
had the guts to come through
with
a great
performance.
Although he hasn't received the
glory that goes to the high
scorers, Jim has always turned in
steady,
solid . performances
throughout his four year career,
and in this sense, he has been a
,strong asset to the team.
Spiked
Shoe Club
Plans Triathalon
The Spiked Shoe Club plans
to
hold two triathalons this spring,
one for the Varsity and one for
Intramural entrants. The Varsity
meet will be held on Sat. March
2 2,
while
the
Intramural
competition
will
take place on
Sat. April 19.
Each entrant must participate
in 3 events to be chosen from
four categories - sprints, distance
races,
throwing
events, and
jumping events. Only one event
can
be chosen
from· each
category.
The specific events
that one can choose from are the
shot,
discus, or javelin; long
jump or
high
jump; 100, 220, or
440 yard dash; and the half, the
mile, or the two-mile.
Both "of the meets
will
be run
on one of the tracks at either
Arlington
High
School, Dutcliess
College, or New Paltz C::ollege.
The performances will be rated
by
the

system
and
awards will be
presented to the top five scorers.
Last

Although
Queens has the
definite advantage of practicing
on a track, they are not strong in
the middle-distance or· distance
races, as was proven by the fact
that Marist almost shut them out
in cross-country. However, they

races and the field events, and,
because of this, the meet seems

After nine straight wins, our
Marist freshman team . lost to
Siena's frosh, 68-64, Wednesday;

game, Ray Crarke led Marist
scores with 16 points. Brian

with

McGowan
had 8, and Schmid, 7. Along
with his high scoring, Clarke also
led in assists with
8:
Siena had a distinct height
advantage. Even though a tall
team, they only outrebounded
Marist 41-39. However, with
good outside shooting, and a
couple
of guards who were
better than average ball handlers,
Siena came out ahead in the end
of a good, close game.
· Saturday night, February 15,
saw the freshman return to their

ways.

over

tremendous game as illustrated
