Wade
Explains
New Role
of
·Dean
·
of Students
By Pat Grealy
Most
students
on campus
recognize Mr. Wade, and they
also know that the Dean of
Students office
is
no longer in
the Campus Center but is now
on the first floor in Champagnat
Hall.
However, few students
realize that Mr. Wade
is
the
single,
most important
man
concerned with their college life.
As Dean of Students, he is
involved
in the life of the
individuals
outside
of the
classroom, which constitutes the
greater part of the life of the
student.
It is his job
to
coordinate a logical schedule for
all
the various student functions
on campus.
This
is
Mr.
Wade's eighth year
at Marist College. He has been
Dean of Students for four years,
previously serving ag. Director of
Admissions. During these years
he has seen Marist College gro~
enormously.
Coinciding with
this progression,
his position as
Dean of Students has evolved.
There
was a time when the Dean
was responsible for the function
of the academic curriculum, the
function of the dormitories, the
budget and many other various
functions,
including that of
parking regulations. But this past
year has given way to
a
drastic
decentralization of the office of
Dean of Students. Responsibility
for the academic curriculum has
been
divided
among
the
Academic Dean and the two
Associate Deans. Responsibility
for
the
function
of
the
dormitories, in a way which is
conducive
·to
individual and
community growth, is the job of
the Residence Director and the
three
housemasters.
At the
present time, decentralization of
the responsibility of the budget
policy is being initiated and
as
Dean of Students, Mr. Wade
is
responsible
for coordinating
these functions.
.
Mr. Wade feels that now, with
these
revisions
in
his
administrative duties of office
he
will
be able to direct th;
entire system of Marist College
toward
a
significant relationship
to the student,
with specific
goals in mind. He believes that
Marist College should induce the
student to become involved with
the
world
around
him.

New Degrees
Addld
To·
Curriculum
By Richard Rossi
In
line
with
the
plans
announced
by Brother Linus
Foy in an article in last week's
edition of the CIRCLE, Marist
College
will
begin to offer a
·
Bachelor of Science Degree in
Business Administration to allow
for
·a
higher degree of major
course
concentration
for
business students,
Also plans
were
anriounced
to begin a
program of graduate studies in
business following the initiation
of the
Bachelor
of Science
program.
The
Bachelor
of Science
Degree will be offered beginning
in the
I 970-71 academic yearto
freshmen and sophomores who
plan to meet the requirements
for the degree.
This means that
the degree
wm
be out of reach
for most of the members of the
present junior class.
In order to qualify for the
Bachelor of Science degree, the
student will need between thirty
three and forty two credits in
major
field
courses.
Each
student will have to select a field
of concentrated study within the
overall required business courses.
The three fields of concentration
are marketing, accounting and
finance,
and
operations
management. To qualify for a
concentration
in one of these
areas, the student
must take
from nine to twelve credits in
..
any.one.of these areas...
_
.
The first of the new courses
·
related
to
the Bachelor o·f
Science Degree
is
Wage Theory
which was started this semester
and is
.
being taught by
Mr.
Preriting.
In the spring semester
two
more
courses
will be
offered,
namely,
Labor
Relations, and Cost Accounting.
Both will be field concentration
courses. Eight more-courses will
be initiated between now and
1972.
The non business core courses
for business students earning the
Bachelor of Science Degree will
be altered from the present
necessary
90 arts credits to
somewhere around
70 to 75
credits. The new degree will
therefore allow business students
a more
comprehensive
and
concentrated
study of
.
their
major field while still retai..
:ng
much of the arts background
that is offered with the Bachelor
of Arts degree.
,
The Business Departmeni nas
also introduced a formal request
to initiate graduate level business
courses leading to a Masters in
Business Administration Degree.
If
this proposal is accepted, Mr.
Kelly, Chairman of
the Business
and
Economics
Department
hopes to see the introduction of
several graduate courses by the
1971-72 or l 972- 7 3 academic
year. No definite courses have as
yet been proposed, however Mr.
Kelly stated that the decision of
the
Business
Department
to
offer
a Masters of Business
Administration
Degree was to
accommodate Albany's request
that the Hudson Valley produce
more students with a Masters in
Business Administration Degree.
This request by the State
Department
of Education was
part of
a general request that the
schools in the Mid Hudson area
produce graduate students in the
fields of Psychology, Business
Administration, Engineering and
Teacher Education.
Mr. Kelly
indicated
that
at present
graduate programs in the fields
of Teacher
Education
and
Engineering would be left to
Vassar and New Paltz while
Marist would initiate graduate
studies
in
the
field
of
Psychology as well as Business
Administration.

"Students must realize that they
can
change things, beginning
with campus life - they can
change things in the campus
community,
and
this
involvement
in the campus
community
will
carry over into
the community outside of Marist
College ... Students can't say that
they
will
wait until they are out
of college before they become
involved in the community, it is
too late then
...
They must realize
the quality of life; that your
own life
has an influence. on
other lives." Students must learn
to develop
an openness to the
issues
which
they· confront
judging what
is
good and what i~
not
good,
and
thereby
establishing
and re-evaluating
specific relative values. Students
must also learn to question that
which they are unsure about and
support that which they believe
in.
Marist College should provide
a stimulus to the communify
involvement of the students, but
the remainder of the endeavor
can only be accomplished by the
will of the student.
Mr. Wade also remarks that
the classroom experience
is
only
a part
of the total college
experience.
The greater part

EDITORIAL
B.A.B.A.
Last month, the Minister of Information of BABA (Black
Afro-American Brotherhood Association) distributed a leaflet to the
College Community entitled "Pigs on Campus.,. Since· that time
similar articles have found their ways into two . off campus
p1,1blications, namely THE GARGOYLE (a New Paltz underground
newspaper) and the Bard OBSERVER. Both of these journals are
widely read within their respective colleges.
Thus far THE CIRCLE has not taken issue with the editorial
content of the BABA article. We have. no right to do so since
editorial content is strictly opinion to which BABA
is
certainly
entitled. Had BABA submitted the article to THE CIRCLE it would
have been printed in its entirety according to the Circle policy stated
in our first edition.
But we do take issue with the credibility of the news reporting in
the article. Thus far, no evidence has been produced to corroborate
BABA's accusation that a number of white students jumped from a
blue convertible and chased two black girls off campus.
Because of the
air
of uncertainty surrounding this incident - an
incident which may never have occured - the hands of THE CIRCLE
editorial board are tied and we are not privileged, nor is any
individual of the College Community privileged, to form an opinion
in favor of or against the editorial content of the BABA article.
Further, it limits any response to either the GARGOYLE or the
OBSERVER who naturally accept that the incident
is
true . and
occured under the conditions specified by BABA. But the heaviest
damage caused by this credibility gap is that it ruins the purpose of
the article itself which was to tell the College Community how
BABA
felt
and let the people "take it for what it's worth." People
cannot do such when they do not know what it is worth.
Consequently, THE CIRCLE takes this opportunity to invite
BABA to clarify the circumstances regarding .. the incident" in the
CIRCLE itself. We also invite them to submit any further articles
which they wish published. This serves a two-fold purpose. First,
THE CIRCLE has a wider and more penetrating circulation than a
leaflet, and this circulation includes approximately thirty five other
colleges throughout
the nation including Bard and New Paltz.
Secondly, THE CIRCLE
is
an instrument of varied opinions thus
aiding people to accept any BABA article for what it is really worth.
. Hopefully, the Minister of Information of BABA will see this
invitation as an honest effort on the part of THE CIRCLE to aid him
in his job of distributing honest information concerning BABA.
After the Moratorium
The importance of October 15, 1969 transcends the cessation of
the Vietnam war. In the larger· sense. of the American way of life, it
poses some basic questions regarding the American political system.
It raises the question of the ability of the American polity to act in
accordance wi!h the majority will and to live up to the popular
mandate.
It suggests that perhaps authoritarian
rule
is ·
not
improbable and that alienation and frustration of the electorate and
citizenry and with it the inherant consequences of violence, even
anarchy could result. Concurrently it affords the American system
the potential for becoming an institution responsive to and in
agreement with the populace, according to its avowed democratic
principles.
It is within
this
context that recent statements by our president
are inexcusable and serve only to acerbate the public and diminish
their trust in the government. When
Mr.
Nixon states:
.
"Now I understand that there has been
and
continues to be
opposition to the war in Vietnam on the campuses and also in the
nation. As far as this kind of activity
is
concerned, we expect it -
how~ver, ·under no circumstances
will
I be· affected whatever by it."
he fails to acknowledge real value of democracy.
Let us hope that the president
is
indeed affected by the public
consensus. Let us hope that our political_maturity measures up to
the demands of today; that the president with the popular support
of the people ends a
war
which only militarists and fanatics support
and Americans inove on to more important issues of the day with a
firm belief and confidence in itself.
·
A Retraction
In the last issue of THE CIRCLE, Brother Patrick Gallagher was
quoted
as
having said, "The College
is ..
presently in a downward
spiral.'' Actually, Brother Gal}agher never made any such statement.
The quote should have read: "The College DORMITORIES
maintenance situation is presently in a downward spiral."- As
is
obvious from the· implications of both statements, they are
as
different
as day and night. We extend our deepest, heartfelt
apologies to Brother Gallagher for any and all inconveniences which
may have plagued him until this ret~actJon.
·
But even worse than the misquote itself is the fact that the entire
article on Brother Gallagher had an
"air" of negativity, whereas in
the actual interview he had expressed a very definite positive and
constructive reaction to
all
phases of ~arist College with particular
emphasis on what he considers to be the greatest asset to the College
at this time - the potential of the present administration.
The statement on the .. downward spiral" of the dormitories was
also · intended in a very positive light. Brother realizes that the
maintenance
department
has had to overcome some grave
difficulties. But he also realizes that the students have suffered
because of these same difficulties which has erringly caused them to
think that the maintenance department is not playing up to par, and
in tum causes more problems for the maintenance department etc.
Brother Gallagher then offered a very constructive approach to
reversing
the spiral by implying that the directors of the
maintenance department take the initial step in implementing such
a
reversal.
Again we offer Brother Gallagher our sincerest apologies for an
extreme, but totally unintended misrepresentation of his character.
We assure
him
that all possible steps shall
be
taken to prevent
rooccurenceis in the future .

Dear Editor: .
I would like to extend a note
of congratulations to
BABA
for
running
one of the
mo~t
successful mixers ever held on.
the Marist College campus.
The sophisticated jazz music
produced by the -Monte Carlo
Band was a refreshing experience
to this listener. It was this
feature, primarily, that left most
of the other Marist mixers
in
the ·
dust!
.
I am hopeful that the Marist
Student body will profit from
the excellent. music produced
here last Saturday night.
I look
forward to the day when Marist
College will outgrow the "high
school" variety of rock and roll
music at their mixers and get
with it!
Let. us not forget that the
better forms _of jazz 'music (and,
yes, rock- and - roll) are not the
exclusive possessions of any one
group on the Marist campus.
Remember "You don't have
to be· Jewish to eat Levy's
bread"

Dear Editor:
As a concerned member of the

of those, hopefully

the little grammar school game
of drawing and writing on the
desks in Donnelly.

immaturity as well. Just who are

J
was under the .,impression that
the people herfwere "students"
and by that I mean .. individuals"
who were here for a purpose,
. and wanted to leain, appreciate
the finer things in life and had
more constructive things to do
than sit and draw " a lot of
nonsense" on the desks.
Although this is a rather minor
incident, I still feel it merits
attention
so that individuals
might "learn" in the future to
direct their talents in a more
positive vein.
Many thanks!

Marist's only bright spot came
on the next series of downs.
It
was 3rd down and 13 to go on
the
Viking
1 9,
when
the
invincible Gerry Tyne latched on
to an aerial and "chugged" his
way down to the Kings 40.
This
drive then fizzled, and in the
fourth quarter, Kings ended the
scoring at 29-0 on an 18 yard
run by Mazzucchio.
The Vikings' line was sparked
by two first year men, Mickey
Cahill,
an offensive guard who is
a transfer from Maryland, and
Marty Keely, a freshman who
plays defensive end.

don't

OCTOBER 16. 1969
,
Faculty Focus
'
Verdi
By John G. White
Last
lliiday;
10
October, the
music world paused to mark the
one
hundred.
fifty-sixth
anniversary
of the birth of
Giusepp·e
•
Verdi. Perhaps with
·
this kind of opening statement I
have already Jost some of you,
since many might question the
relevance
of Verdi
today,
hopefully some of you will read
on.
In a sense Verdi's early years
read like some pages from a
novel - he was born to a poor
·
family,
was trained
in. the
rudiments of music by a local
priest, and then, through the
kindness (perhaps some today
would say· obligation) of a local
man of business, was able to go
on
to the Conservatory
and
acquire the foundations for his
musical life.
From here
his
life re·ads like
some of the themes that he used
in his operas - he married the
daughter of his benefactor and
eventually
the
two
had
a
daughter and-a son;but less than
four years after their marriage
Verdi had Jost his wife and two
children. To add to his problems
his first two operas had been
received rather coldly. To quote
one biographer: .. he went into a
bit' of a decline.''
Again, like some of those same
operatic themes his life after his
losses took a new

It
was
suggested that he might

to
write an opera for the Carnival
Season in Milan in 1842. The
opera, Nabucco, was a fantastic
success. Besides receiving the

rebellion arid eventual freedom·
of an oppressed peoples. The
Chorus of the
Hebrew Slaves
that is sung near the end of the
Third Act became something of
a song of liberty to the Italian
- people.
In the following ten years
Verdi turned out some fifteen
works,. some good, some great,
some no longer performed - they
were what he called his "Galley
Years." These were years of
training while at the same time
he earned enough money to
prepare for the periods of more

The
plots of some of these operas
were
more
often
than not
interpreted
by the patriots of
the
time
as supporting
the
revolution against the Austrians
in particular.
His very name
be·came
a
byword
in
revolutionary circles - the scrawl
Viva Verdi might appear as a
simple gesture of enthusiasm to
the Austrian government in Italy
- to the revolutionary it mearit
something
else indeed: Viva
Vittorio Emmanuele Re d'Italia,
Long Live Victor Emmanuel,
King of Italy.
The period after
1852 marks
what
some musicologists call
Verdi's Middle Period. During
these
years Verdi not only
continued to write but in
1861
he was called upon to sit in the
first Parliament of a united Italy
which met in Turin. This Middle
Period may be said to have
ended when his opera Aida was
first performed at the Khedival
Theater in Cairo in 1871. Along
with Aida
his
final years of
composition saw the appearance
of two operas and a Requiem.

The trip started on September
9th at 8:00 a.m, when I arrived
at the pier in New York to board
the S.S. Aurelia which was to
take me to England. (yawn). As
soon
as I was on· board a
photographer from Marist ran up
to me screaming "I got
.to
get a
group
·shot,
I got to get a group
shot."
"Blast off, Barney" I
replied. "No really, Bro. Joe sent
me to get -a group shot."
I
waited around until the
10
other
Marist guys were carried on
board
and
then
the
photographer got his picture of
the
eleven
Marist
a broad
students throwing up over the
side.
The cruise over . was really
exciting.
It
was supposed to take
8
days but it took nine because
they
gave
the galley· slaves
Sunday off.
I
knew we were in
trouble
.the
fust day when the
captain ran up to me waving his
rubber
sword
yelling "they
won't let me steer, they won't
let me steer.'' There was plenty
to do on board during the
9
days, there were Scrabble for
Juniors
tournaments,
bobbing
for apples, Hide 'n' seek, and
because we were extra good -
risque coloring books.
.
As I have mentioned there
were eleven
·
other guys from
Marist on board. Well actually
ten
because
Joe (would-be)
Thorsen was tied to the bow of
the ship because his luggage was
overweight.
(I
think it was the
salami in his suitcase.)
On September
18
we arrived
at
Southhampton,
England.
Southhampton
is really
a
swinging
place
if you like
smokestacks - otherwise cross
if
off your "must see" list. That
night we took a train to London.
We arrived there about 11 :30
p.m. and at
1 :00
a.m. we got a
cab. The cab took us to St.
Magereta Hotel where we got a
bed and breakfast for about
$3.50 a night. The hotel was
really nice except it didn't have
a roof.
The next few days were spent
getting
taken
and
getting
organized. Easy Edgar Royce
(Easy Edgar because he wants to
get a motorcycle) suggested we
take a tour of London.
John
Kaley
did a cartwheel, Joe
Thorsen threw his blanket down
and we were on our way.
The
tour
started with
us
getting on a bus. We each paid
S2.50, were given an apple and
told to shutup. Our guide was
Tom and the driver was Jim (or
was the guide Jim and the driver
Tom?) and Tom told
us
that
if
we wanted anything to yell. Not
wanting to disappoint Tom
I
promptly
told
him
I would
prefer a jelly apple to the green
one
which
he gave
me,
whereupon Tom told me what
I
could do with my jelly-apple.
The tour was real nifty. Tom

relevance comes up. This was a
nice story - so what!
Verdi was
an artist and if nothing else he
made his art a part of his times
and his times a part of his art, no
mean task,
I
might add. He fired
the imagination of his fellow
Italians with stories that might
be innocuous on the surface but
.
which
time and again· were
associated by his · countrymen
with
the
problem
of their
liberation. He caught the magic
and the despair of the life of the
Orleanist Courtesan in Traviata;
the paternal affection
denied
him by the death of his children
comes out in Rigoletto; he more
than
demonstrated
the
universality of music, let alone
the
Romantic
delight
in
Shakespeare,
with his three
operas:
Macbeth, Otello and
Falstaff, these last two being
among his final works.
Again
the
problem
of
relevance! What does this have
to do with today? Just this: one
does not have to be an opera fan
to be interested in the arts, but
regardless
of where
your
interests lie in the arts it is that
artistic interest that will indicate
your liberal education; not an
interest in art that graces the
fringes of your
life
but one
which is a very part of it. Most
of you will forget better than
ninety per cent of what you
thought you had learned in your
•
four-
-years-here
- but·what will
distinguish
you as liberally
educated
men
and women,
among
other things, is your
awareness of what is going on
and how
-
you make use of that
awareness. What
is
going on
is
invariably going on in the arts.
Perhaps a concrete example
may be suggested: no one will
deny that Television has had and
is
having a fantastic impact on
the world in general let alone art
in particular.
I
certainly think
that
it would
be a poor
commentary on this age if, as
has been suggested by some,
tl1..
most
interesting and perhaps
most significant contribution of
the
mid and late Twentieth
Century
TV
were
the
commercials.
It might well be
so! Can ones awareness of and
concern for art forms change
this? Can it change other things?
I for one not only like to think
that it can but that it
will!
I
would conclude with just a
comment
aoout the Roman
writer, Terence, who made the
observation: "Nothing human is
foreign to me." Certainly one of
the highest adventures, let alone
·endeavors
of mankind,
of
humankind, is the arts. As Verdi
realized
and commented
on
through his works, art is truly
one
of the· best
ways
to
understand men and that which
is
human - what a loss to be
ignorant of the arts and perhaps
be ignorant of ones own age!

Why
Not?
by
Pe!er Masterson
As everyone already knows,
Iona beat us 7-6. But we almost
beat Iona 8-7. Suppose we had
gained that one necessary yard?
Everyone
would
be happy.
Right? We didn't though - they
beat us. What
if we would have
SCORED earlier in the game,
then the score might have been
13-7 in favor of us. Why didn't
we SCORE?
This
is supposed to
be the great year of our· seniors.
Offensive
players
Dourdis,
McGarr, Hurley, Tyne, Towers,
Attonito,
Mc Namara,
and
Cooney have all been playing
since freshman or sophomore
year and
.have
been performing
their
individual
assignments
exceptionally well. But we still
don't SCORE!
We're lucky we have such a
great
defense,
don't
feel
however,
that
28-0
over
Plattsburgh
is
anything to brag
about.
One interception
by
Gestal, one recovered fumble by
McGarr,
and
Ritz's
safety
accounted for half the scoring.
Thus, and
if
you remember last
year when we lost three games
by a total of only five points,
the problem
is -
not enough
SCORING!
It's early in the
season, we're
(1)
and
(1).
Maybe
we'll SCORE
40
points in each
of the remining games.
If
we
don't we may have problems.
Perhaps, if we tried some new
offensive plans or formations,
something would happen. I'm
glad I'm not the coach, it's too
much responsibility
trying to
decide who plays what position,
what the next plan is, and to
whom the ball goes on the next
play.
I
know where it doesn't go
though!
It doesn't go to Tyne. I
wonder why?
When it's thrown to him, it's
caught... and he doesn't stop
there. His tremendous second
effort and consistent ability to
break tackles, always gets us the
valuable yardage we· need. It's
too bad Tyne doesn't get. the
ball more often, but then I'm
not
the
coach. Who knows
maybe they're · saving Tyne for
the last game of the year. By
then
it
will be too late. Come on
Coach, give the ball to Tyne.
P.S.
I just got back from the
Kings game.
Again,
we didn't
SCORE. I'm not going to say
that we would have won if
Tyne
had the ball a few times BUT,
during the second
half
our QB
threw
one
behind
him.
He
caught
it one
hand
and
proceeded a few more yards,
before being tackled for a
gain
of at least 30 yards - tile only
major yardage gain in the entire
game. Gee Coach, I wonder what
would happen if he (Tyne) got
the ball more often ... why not?
* * * * *
Welcome back Andy!
If
you
recall last Saturday's game, a
new
figure
appeared in the
lineup - Andy Herzing. Last
year's
star split end, Andy
Herzing
was unable to play
earlier due to a recent knee
operation. See the team's plight
during the Iona game, he donned
his
"88" and went on to the
field.
His
exceptional
competitive
spirit and team
loyalty
pushed
aside
any
indecision not to play, and as
Marist moved downfield toward
that crucial touchdown, Andy
was there again in his same old
galloping style, catching Hurley's
passes
for
the
needed
yardage ... Good luck the rest of
the season, Andy, and here's to a
true athlete.
In case you don't know it,
Marist
has another
fall sport
besides
football,
track, and
soccer - crew. The Marist Crew
Team which has its "official"
season in the spring, nonetheless
is practicing now. The team,
made up of mostly the school's
biggest and strongest athletes,
( except for those daring and
quick thinking coxswains, who
aren't
too
big)
has
been
practicing
on the beautiful
polluted Hudson since tile first
week of school, getting ready for
this Saturday when the Varsity,
J.V.,
and
Frosh teams
will
compete against Syracuse away.
But don't worry fans, there will
be a few home races this year.
Anyway,
the
crew team is·
practicing, and they are BIG,
and they are good and
I
hope to
see them outrow Syracuse by
several
boatlengths.
So how
about some applause for the
eight
able oarsmen and one
handsome coxswain in each of
Marist's boats. Okay?

Prophecy
Last Summer
By Jim Newman
LAST SUMMER
is a study of
the adolescent years. Emanuel
Wolf has created a vivid story
which should bring back at least
some memories for everyone.
Two boys (Peter and Dan) and
an over-ripe girl (Sandy), spend
an entire summer together at
Fire Island, devoid of an adult
world
or influence.
Each
character comes from a home
with a mixed up family life, and
all are pretty much on their
own.
Together, the trio discover the
warmth
of friendship,
the
pleasure of beer (which they call
truth serum), experience
sex,
both
in
a pleasurable as well as
painful
way,
and
share
a
common search to find their
true selves.
U pan
reflection,
LAST
SUMMER
abounds
in
symbolism,
too numerous
to
develop,
here,
as well
as
"How much is
a
coke," - "Are
you
an American" "yes."
-·
"Seven dollars.'' "How much is a
sandwich,"
«are
you
an
American." No, I'm a Portugese
sailor just in from Lapland" -
"2
francs.''
In Paris we met up with the
French crew from Marist and the
French crew from Mt. Saint
Vincents. They showed
us
the
Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, the
Arch of Triumph and the other
stuff. Edgar Royce got a swell
close up of a pigeon in heat at
different
in meaning
and
importance for each viewer.
LAST SUMMER is a beautiful
movie, with real people and a
contemporary
theme. I would
recommend it to everyone, as
I
feel all can profit as
well as
empathize
with
the
well
developed characters.
Perhaps its only fault
is
a
straining in certain parts to get
the point of the movie across.
The ending
I feel, puts too much
accent
on man's animalistic
tendencies, which is brought up
throughout the movie. ·
See LAST SUMMER** I feel
it is definitely a "relevant" and
rewarding movie, on the same
par, if not above the Graudate as
far
as scenery,
acting and
effectiveness are concerned.
LAST SUMMER stars Barbara
Hershey, Richard
Thomas, Bruce
Davidson, and Cathy Burns.

Should
an
athlete be forced to compete on a day such as
Wednesday's moratorium? Three runners chose not to, so they could
lend their support for the success of the march, and they have a valid
point. Others on the team held similar beliefs but chose to only
participate in the morning segments of the program, and then to
travel to Siena to take part in the 'race as a positive action ( while
wearing the black arm band): Two sincere ways of coping with a
problem. But should there have been any need for an alternative?
Vince Lombardi, at a Packer training camp one year, spoke of the
only· three things that should be of importance to his players• their
religion, their family, and football, •
in
that order.
If religious or
moral beliefs have a · priority even in the hard-nosed play-for-pay
world, then why should
a
day of moral concern to evezyone be
overlooked in the intercollegiate ranks. The fact is, the meet director
should
have
intervened
and
postponed
the
race until
Thursday ... Don't forget the swimming intramurals tonight, 9:00 at
the Poughkeepsie
Y.
Who knows, maybe in a few years it will be a
varsity sport? Face it, if there's going to be 250 coeds on campus,
they can't all be cheerleaders!. .. What do Steve Caiola, Don Duffy,
J.
Tkach, Barry La Combe, Tom Wilson, and Kevin Donnelly have in
common? Give up? None of them have managed to make the Varsity
Club ... And now to the big question - "Why eat donuts before the
race?" To begin with, you have to rule out fats -and proteins. Fats
supply most of the energy expended during mild exercise, but for an
ultimate effort they're nothing . but a hindrance • they delay the
emptying of the stomach. Proteins
aid
muscle growth in the early
weeks of training, but
if
you haven't gotten past that stage, you're
not ready for a big race anyway. Carbohydrates (especially donuts)
supply quick energy and, most important, burn as fuel in the
absence of°oxygen. This becomes vital when you feel the conquering
effects of fatique. Hard practice sessions drain the athlete's
· carbohydrate supply and therefore the most successful s.olution
(if
you consider Jim Ryun successful) is to eat as many donuts
as
possible during the 24 to 48 hour period prior to competition. Try
it, and
if you haven't tried it, don't knock it ... Erp!...that's from
eating too many donuts.
