By Ray Frontain
The Fifth Annual Franklin D.
Roosevelt
Symposium
took
place Saturday, Oct. 18, in ihe
Campus Center. The theme was
:"FDR
as
a Diplomatist."
.
· In
his
opening remarks; Bro ..
Linus
Foy,
President of Marist
College, . welcomed
the , 200
guests
and called the Symposium
"a little Marist miracle," in that
so small a college as Marist could
attract so reputable and large a
community of scholars.
Joining
Bro.
Linus
in
welcoming · the group was Dr.
George H. Skau, Chairman of
the Marist History. and Political
Science
Department
and
moderator of the Symposium,
Dr. Skau
pointed
out the
relevancy of the theme in that,
twenty-five
years
later, the
problems offending a war and
securing a lasting peace (FDR's
goals· as a diplomatist) are still
very much significant. He also
expressed the hope that other
colleges and presidential libraries
would join together and produce
other events of this sort.
Presenting a , paper entitled
"Roosevelt:
Perils of · Second
Front
Diplomacy,''
was Mr.
Lloyd
Gardner, Professor of
History at Rutgers University
and
author
of· ECONOMIC
ASPECTS OF THE NEW DEAL.
In a panel discussion following
the paper,
Mr.
James MacGregor
Burns,
Professor of Political
Science at Williams College and
author of
THE
LION AND THE
FOX, stressed the point that
Roosevelt was tom between
his
own desires · and
those of
Churchill and Stalin, and
was
again divided by his desire to
be
a good commander-in-chief who
. would lose as few American lives
as
possible, and
~
desires to
win the
war as quickly
as
possible. and bring about his
Four Freedoms for the world.
Panelist John Tolan, author of
THE
LAST
I 00
DAYS,
commented
on Roosevelt's
tragic
naiveness of Japanese
problems and of our blunder of
entering into
a war
with Japan.·
He also spoke of the racial
implications of the war, how
they influenced the diplomacy
of the war, and how they still
affect
us today: "We do still not
believe in the self-determination
of nations unless they are white
nations."

Is this a lead feature of a series

If
what you say is true about

They'll need to read our own

What you are really saying is
you acknowledge the inferiority
of the small college in deference
to the "big name" college.
If
Marist College needs this
kind of publicity to pat itself on

inferior. We have the complex,

As reported in THE CIRCLE of October 9, the McCann Foundation
has endowed Marist_ with a grant to develop a long range master plan
for Marist College. Dr. Lawrence Menapace of. the Chemistry
Department was appointed by Brother Linus Foy to serve as the
director of this research grant. The third draft of the master plan will
· be under. discussion by the faculty and administration all day Friday,
October 24. Within this plan
is
a long range plan for the improvement
of maintenance-and a very plausible one at that ..
THE CIRCLE calls upon Dr. Menapace and the master plan seminar
to remove the maintenance section of the "long range plan" and place
-it on the "immediate action list" before it is too late.
Finally, we would like to quote from the goals set by the long range
development seminar under the goal entitled, "Learn to Live in a
Technological Age." : "These recent and rapid changes in science make
it necessary for an individual to be informed and knowledgeable about
these developments if he is to function in our society." We cannot
expect to reach the other goals set by the committee until we nieet this

· The · moratorium was an orderly attempt to·· work within the

in
a lawful manner this growing impatience.
- It was an attempt made by the governed; the government however
seems Ull_!esponsive.
This is evidenced by recent statements made by
, . the administration, particularly the incredible speech made by Vice
President Agnew last week. ·.
- Mr.· Agnew before a . Republican fund 'raising dinner in New

"encouraged by an effete corps of impudent snobs who characterize
themselves as _intellectuals.'' He also stated· that "the young, at the

In all sincerity we ask, · who is M;. Agnew kidding? The
moratorium was the ·execution of_ an Ameri~an right by a large and

is either
ill-advised orill, or both.

If

how long will the public remain patient? It is unfortunate that Mr .

I would
hope
that
the
CIRCLE would do more "to
accentuate
the
positive." I
would have . hoped for a fairer
representation of my views by
publishing
my reasons
for
coming to the college, for my
optimism about its future, for
my opinion about theexcellence
of its administration (remember
I
stated that this• one point was
Marist's greatest asset), and for
my thoughts
on education.
These would have represented
me. The interview as such did
not.
In the course of an hour and a
half interview, I would have
hoped
for a more positive,
balanced treatment rather than
the incorrect and very negative
one printed in THE CIRCLE.
Finally,
l
would hope that
all
this_ brouhaha
would
only
highlight the power and impact
of the written word and the

If
you take time to read the
EAST's lead article, you'll find
propaganda not worthy of a
college admissions catalogue. It
reads as follows:
"It
(Marist
College) is relatively unknown,
seldom publicized, and virtually
disregarded in college opinion
polls." Sound familiar?
Our saving grace, ho'!Vever, is
Marist "representative
of •. the
many small colleges throughout
the country." Editorial opinion,
Mr. Begley?
"It, (Marist) recently opened
its doors
to
four
hundred
freshman,
Marist's
twelfth
graduating class."
I
call attention
to the
1969-70
admissions
catalogue, and point out the
twenty-fourth
commencement
in
which
your
class
will
participate May 23, 1970.
One further point should be

As
in
the Bible, this was an occasion when someone rose to great
heights. This time it was our football team. We looked good, they
looked bad,
in
a game that was more of a ·"scrimmage before the
game"· than anything else. Not many people really_ cared ab~ut
·
Assumption everybody knew they stunk. Most were sunpJy. looking
ahead to St. John's .. .
The
game, however, did have many good
·
developments. The main one was obviously the fine performance by
freshman Q.B. Ron Very. His cool ball-handling and passing was very
encouraging, and since he
is
only a first -year. man,_ he should develop
greatly with more experience. Sophomore Jim Wilkens played most
·
of.the second half performing quite well also, this showing that the
Viking5 have fine depth in the Q.B. ~lot ... E~sily the best. area of the
Viking team
is
the defensive backfield. Cameramen Jumor Rooney
and Jack McDonnell, Safety Dean Gestal and Monster Bill Iccobellis
do
a
tremendous job considering the time that opposing Q.B.'s have
to throw the ball. They're all fast, have good hands and ~re deadly
tacklers. Dan Faison, a freshman, adds depth to t~
already
well-stocked backfield
..
.Junior Rooney has proved to. be one-of the
most improved players on the team this year. He
is
possibly the best
on the team in the art of pass coverage, an9
is
a deadly tackler on
sweeps. He, along with Benjy; returns all kicks and, not only ru~s
well,: but.
is
a greii_t. blo~ker :when .¥.cDQnnell _has. the. ~all .. His
constant,' headi;.up·.perfQrmances have·been a big factor in the strong
Vikirig .. defense this year; He's
a
class ball-player ... Still another
good showing was turned in by Cotton Nash, Marist's answer
-to
Deacon Jones, Gino Marchetti, and Gerry Philbin. He is a promising·

FROM 1
St.
John's
University
and
specialist
on
the
Vice
Presidency, delved in part on the
point
that
in the
months
preceeding his death, Roosevelt's
decision making power was far
weaker than it had been
·in
earlier years, and this, then, had
much to do with the diplomacy
of this time.
A humanistic view of FDR
was given
by the luncheon
speaker,
Mr. Joseph Lash, a
personal friend of the Roosevelt
family and author of ELEANOR
ROOSEVELT:
A FRIEND'S
MEMOIR. According to Mr.
Lash,
Franklin
and Eleanor
Roosevelt worked as a team, and
though
they
had
great
differences in their method of
approach,
they
continually
complimented each other. This
was exemplified by their fight
over
a world
court, where
Eleanor wouldn't speak· to him
for three days when she thought
he
had
abandoned
his
convictions for a vote, and he,
subsequently, making one of the
most serious mistakes of his
political
career
in later
supporting it.
Mr.
Lash concluded his talk

Campus

By Don Duffy
My first three· columns were a lot of fun. I really haven't had the
time to write anything serious. Now
is
the time. I'm devoting
this
part of my column to the campus jerks who don't do anything but
talk. There seems to be something lacking
in
this campus concernin&
non-participating students over athletics. The people who don't give
a damn about sports on this campus usually are the people who are
the first to criticize a team that loses. I'm sick and tired of hearing
the dumbells say why don't they win,
is
it the coach, do the players
stink, don't they ever win. Well here it
is
lame brain, I have had it
with you and I believe all the athletes feel the same way.
If
you
don't like what the teams are doing why don't you get off your
rear-end and try and do better. Don't run around flying off with that
big mouth unless you can·do better. To participate in a college sport
takes a lot more then just playing a game once or twice a week. It
means practicing for hours each day, sacrificing a lot of social life,
· what
it all boils down to
is
that they b_reak their backs to compete
for Marist. And the funny part about
it
is that they are playing for
jerks like you who are so quick to criticize. So that is the set up at
Marist, a bunch of clowns try to low level our boys with no
knowledge of what's going on. One last reminder, don't talk first and
think later. Remember what these guys go through for four months
before you talk about losing. Bits-N-Pieces

On Saturday, October 18th
the Cross-Country team was at
full strength for the first time
this season. Greatly bolstered by
the return of Phil Cappio and
with a strong race by co-captain
Bob Mayerhofer, the team came
: through
with - a strong solid
showing.
Beating
Brooklyn
College 27-28, Drew University
21-37
and
·sacred
Heart
University, 20-43, the harriers_
ran ,together· as a team and ·
constantly
pushed each other
throughout the race. These three
opponents were actually better
than the three that defeated our
injury ridden squad last week.
· . After the first four places were
taken by runners from the other
-
schools, Marist came across with
a strong block of runners to gain
victory. Fifth, sixth and seventh
places were taken by Phil Cappio
30: 11, Bob ·Mayerhofer 30:43
and Steve Sawicki 31:01. The
scoring was rounded out by Jim
Corbett 31: 16 in the ninth slot
and John Petroglia 31 : 17 in the
tenth slot. The sixth and seventh
who helped
displace
were
co-captain Joe McMahon 32:20
and Jim Ambry 34:06. Mike
Smith 35: 15 and Tom Geraghty
36:33 ran well as eighth and
ninth men.
On Wednesday October 15, a
. much depleted Marist team was
soundly . defeated 16-41 by a
strong Siena team at Siena. The
course was shorter than most
covering only
-4.2
miles. The
scorers
from
Marist
were
Mayer ho fer
24: 11, Petraglia
24:34, Tom. Mahoney 25:25,

Early Saturday morning the
Marist College Crew challenged
Syracuse on the wind swept
2000 -meter course, on Lake
Onondago. The two teams lined
-up with
a strong stairboard
crosswind .. The Marist eight on
the starting command came off
the
line
at 33 strokes per minute
in'stead of the normal 38 that
they are accustomed to .. At the
end of the 20 strokes start, the
Marist College stroke Joe Ryan
dropped the beat to a
28. The
lanky Syracuse crew rowing at a
. higher rate jumped to a
4
seat
advantage but the strong Marist
team began to gradually close
the gap, and at 750 meters
Marist cox Pete Masterson called
for · a power 10 and his crew
took a slight lead. At this time
the Marist
eight was rowing as
-low as 25 strokes per minute to
Syracuse's 31. For the next 500
meters the two crews were· neck
and neck as t.hey sliced through
the choppy water. ·but then the
Syracuse eight, still· overstroking
Marist, gradually began to pull
away and going into the last 500
meters· had pulled out to a half
length lead .. About 20 strokes ·
later . Marist .stroke Joe Ryan
raised the .beat, but the Marist
eight was unable .to make up the
difference. Syracuse crossed the
line in 5:59 with Marist clocked
at
6:04. · ,
The
H. V.
boat came off the
line
strong
against a more
experienced Syracuse crew at 36
strokes per minute. Stroked by
John Weis and coxed by
Harry
Manley the boat settled to
32
and stayed with them for the
first 1,000 meters, but could not
hold off Syracuse's final sprint
to finish 2½ lengths behind.
