Concerning the work of the
planning commission· we are
all
·
aware
·
that it has published a
long-range projection for Marist
College.
It
should be kept
in
mind, however; that a projection
is a statement
of goals and
.
desired outcomes. Rather than
being·
a
fai.t accompli it is
something
that is subject to
review, analysis and change. In
its
en tire ty it represents
a
statement of direction, but in
each of its component parts it
is
subject
to
the
scrutiny,
evaluation
and. approval or
rejection by the various sectors
of the: college community.
Also,
.
many things which
are
put
into
.a
long-range
projection
are put
there'
precisely · because such
directions
have already
·
been
indicated by what
is
happening
at the institution ..
•
A case in point, and one with
which
J
am
closely involved; is
the core
.
curriculum. The entire
college community is aware that
a study of the core curriculum
is
· in progress. Initiated
by the
Acaaemic Policy Committee last
.
:year,
it has been the proper
concern of
·every
segment· of the
college· community
since tqen.
Phase
.
one
consisted
of the
student~faculty
·discuss-ions
which took place in the- dorms
and lounges over a six-week
period la:;t spring. Phase two was .
the
self-evaluations
recently
c-onipleted by each academic
department. Phase three will be
a' report from various student
·
and
academic
offices ·or the
college. In view· of this, the
long-range projection makes two
statement
relative
to
the core
curriculum,
namely, that the
next year and a half should be a

.
of experimentation
and
minor
revisions
within the
framework of the existing core
and that in 197 I a revision of
the core curriculum should be
initiated;·These
two statements
are
.predicated
on the fact that
evaluation and study of the i::ore
have already been undertaken.
The second point that I would
like
to
make
concerns the
dissemination of the work of the
planning·
commission
to the
college community.
The APC
had suggested
a tw~ay
faculty
workshop this semester, so that
the faculty could discuss the
departmental
self-evaluation
reports and the problems of core
revision in much the same way
that
the
Student
Academic
Committee had done last spring.
However, it became evident at
the meetings of the APC this
semester that a discussion of the
departmental
reports
and the
core
curriculum
would
be
impossible
without
any
reference
to
the
academic
implications

sessions have qualities which are
·
characteristic
of the more

permanent
members
of.:the
community. For exampie,-in the
various discussion groups there
was an authentic, professional
concern regarding the language
of the Planning Committee's
statement of the extensions of
the goals of Marist College. In
short.
the
-faculty
called for
greater
concreteness
in the
wording of these extensions of
the traditional goals. The faculty
response indicated that in some
parts it was not a question of
vagueness·
but
rather
the
introduction
of terminology
which
connotatively
could_
produce
a negative response
unless
the
terminology

Bro. Ron Gagnon (SAC)
Mr.-T. Casey
Let me begin by expressing
my
appreciation
of the efforts
involved in giving birth to the
Marist College in the Seventies
document.
Such a document
represents
a
positive
accomplishment in the sense that
· it furnishes a point of departure
for community wide discussion
on the direction
that we ought to
pursue in the immediate and
remote future.
I
would hope that the Planning
Committee would take steps to
reconcile
the discrepancy
between . their intention and
substantial faculty interpretation
regarding the_ goals for Marist
College_
In my opinion,
2.2
of chapter
one treats the problem of student
motivation
in a limited
perspective_ As early as 1956.Paul
Goodman stated in his Growing
Up Absurd what proved to be
prophetic of the student of the.
late sixties_ .. Socialization to
·what? to what dominant society
· and available culture? And if this
question is asked, we must ask the .
other question, ls the harmonious
organization to which the young
· are
inadequately
socialized,
perhaps against human nature,
and not w,orthy of human nature,
and therefore there is a difficulty
in growing up?
If this is so, the
disaffection
of the young is
profound and
it
will not be finally
remediable by better techniques
of socializing. Instead, there will
have to be changes in our society
and its culture, so as to meet the
appetites and capacities of human
nature, in order to grow up."
. I submit that the student of the
seven ties
will
manifest
a
diminishing
concern
for
immediate career goals. His .(her)
focus will become more broadly
value oriented than individually
occupational. In short, the career
of humanity
itself is gaining .
ascendcy over the career 9f the
individual and it is precisely
technology which is elbowing this
question to the forefront.
Finally,
,a
few
random
observations of a more sr,ecific
nature_ 1.
1
am disappoint::d to
note that the second and third
largest departments (History and
English) were not represented on
the Planning Committee by either
a departmental
chairman
or
senior faculty member.

The 20-1 student-teacher
mean should be complimented by
information
regarding
the
standard deviation of this mean.

think
that such information
would assist us in isolating many
of
our problems.

Dr. D.A.
Drennen
In a recent interview with Dr.
D. A. Drennan, on the series of
faculty,
student
and
administration
colloquiums
concerning the future of Marist
College, he stated that he felt
somewhat
embarrassed
to
- initially comment in view of the
editoral in the Oct. 30 issue of
the Circle which seemed to stress
negative aspects of the meeting
more than the positive ones. He
stated that these meetings were
the start of something· which
should have been done some
time
ago. He indicated
that
students
weren't
deliberately
excluded from the meeting, and
that some students did attend.
Mr. J. Norton
Mr.
Joseph
M. Norton,
Instructor
in
History,
has
become a very active member of
the Marist community in the few
months he has been on campus.
Mr. Norton in speaking about
the
Presidential
Planning
Commission projects the ideals
of the rights of the individual
and
the need for an active
concern
for
the
social
revolutionary
problems of the
seventies - both themes that he is
particularly involved with.
Asked about
the need for
Marist.
It
was also requested that
other sections, such as that on
faculty
projections,
be
re-evaluated in the light of a new
statement
on goals.
It
is my
belief that this will be done; at
least, I shall be looking forward
to either a rewritten statement
of goals or else a statement from
the Planning Committee or the
Administration
on the subject.
I also am greatly concerned
about the teacher-student ratio
among the humanities. English,
history,
philosophy,
and
religious studies range between
30:1 to 50:1, while the overall
ratio in the college is 20:1. Since
the
departments
and faculty
were urged to be "inventive and
imaginative"
about
their
approaches
to
the
faculty-student
ratio, it would
seem,
in the
light
of the
projection that no new faculty
were
to be allotted
to the
humanities,
that
these
departments
should be
MORE
"inventive and imaginative" than
either Business or the Science
departments.
I shall be looking
for further developments on this
subject.
. A third area that
I
believe
should
be examined
is
the
overall allocation
of budgets.
The
$1,100.00
allocated to the
English
Department
for the
current academic year is but a
small fraction of that granted to
any one of the sciences. The 250
majors in English is about three
times that of chemistry and two
and
one-half
times that of
physics. I
full
well realize that
the natural sciences require very
costly equipment
and
I don't
begrudge it to them. However, ,
· $1,100.00
is a very small amount
for a department
with eleven
faculty
members and which
numbers about one-sixth of the
entire
student
body as its
majors.
To my knowledge students
were
neither encouraged
nor
discouraged from attending the
two-day
FACULTY workshop_
This two-day period was (again,
to my knowledge) planned as
Drennan stated that the plans
were
not considered
"master
plans" but rather "institutional
projections."
He said that the
main thrust is upon flexibility
and
technique,
and
that
everyoi:e should be interested in
the
ov:-irall
welfare. of the
college.
H?-also
felt
that the job
of the faculty and administrators
should be to lift and broaden the
sights of the students.
The meeting outlined various
directions and goals that Marist
hopes to eventually head for and
therefore
the views of the
faculty were likewise, many and
varied_
· Dr.
Drennan's
own
impression
of last
week's
meetings
was that
it
was
definitely
beneficial
to the
college and the first of many
steps in the right direction.
st
1
.1dent participation
regarding
long
range
planning of the
college, Mr. Norton, pointed to
the
necessity
of especially
recognizing the students view.
Mr_ Norton stated that teachers
can only give opinions of what
the students think but only the
·students
themselves
can
accurately -relate
to
the faculty
what
they feeL
Mr_ Norton
advocates
full
student
representation
on the Planning
Commission
-
namely total
equality
numerically
and in
terms
of influence
of the
students and faculty_ Thus the
notion of students "paid and
paying" evolves and the role of
the administration
should seek
to accomodate these forces_
The document
itself in Mr.
Norton's view displays a 19th
century utilitarianism which is
too emphatic
with regard to
technology.
Furthermore,
the
document seems not to be an
.. open minded" one that in the
future, teachers will be hired on
the basis of agreement with the
document,
whatever the terms
of the document might be at
that time. The document is also
too attuned to the student who
does not wish to immediately
advance his education but who is
looking for a job.
In
conclusion,
Mr. Norton
stated
that
although
the
PAGE3
faculty sessions on projections
for the future of the College and
the curriculum. The faculty
represents
about
fifteen
departments and numbers more
than eighty persons. Only very
infrequently can there be "cross
ventilation" of ideas on a large
scale among the faculty-and
almost never can the faculty be
alone. This is not meant as a
slighting of students; the fact
that
I am in the business of
education and the relationship
that
I have with students should
indicate that
I
like and respect
them. However,
I believe that
there should be occasions when
the
faculty
can exchange
thinking. Therefore,
I do not
believe that students should be
present at FACULTY meetings,
or FACULTY
colloquia,
of
FA CUL TY workshops.
I believe that students should
be apprised of administrative
and faculty
thinking
through
formal
memoranda
and and
meetings and through informal
discussions with them.
I believe
that faculty and administration
should
be tuned to student
thinking
through
the Student
Council, the SAC, the Circle,
and discussion_ I further believe
that
decisions,
whether
long-range or short, should be
made with the student viewpoint
and bias in mind.
But above all, I
do not believe that students
should have a vote in college
decisions.
The
faculty
and
administration
are specifically
charged
with
providing the
intellectual atmosphere in which
students grow but students are
neophytes to the academic life
and by the time that they begin
to understand some few of the
basics of this life they are gone.
Students are transients passing
through an academic institution.
Hopefully, the institution
will
make
a deep
and
lasting
impression on the total life of its
students, but the means that the
institution
employs to create
this
impression
is
the
responsibility of the faculty and
the administration,
NOT THE
STUDENTS.
document
seems
to
de-emphasize
the humanities,
the humanities
have thus far
failed to enunciate
its goals.
The humanities must therefore
be realigned.
In addition,
if
Marist is interested in long range
plans it should in the absence of
abundant finances and unhibited
by tradition, seek to observe and
adapt the changes that are seen
on other experimental campuses.
By
both student
and faculty
observation of other campuses,
Marist is brought out of the
''vacuum". By opening ourselves
up to other experiences,
Mr.
Norton
believes, we may be
better
able
to
become
continually relevant and to cope
with the problems
of mixed
education
in terms of race,
creed, sex, religion, and social
background.
ALPERT
from
2
that the "rapidly developing and
changing
technological
age",
alluded to in the
"first"
goal for
the seventies, would seem to
place more demands than ever
on the student for developing a
capacity
for independent
and
creative
thinking;
and this
capacity, paradoxically,
will
not
be increased by orienting our
curriculum to the technologies -
but rather by expanding and
broadening
our base in the
liberal arts and humanities_

The Fall
by George Papp
The Fall is a beautiful time of
the year. The leaves are changing
colors and falling to the ground.
When all the leaves fall you can
see the kids raking them up, and
making dummies, and jumping in
them, and just having a ball.
Soon all the leaves
will
be off
the trees, and then you can tell
that winter
is not far away. You
can see the kids getting ready for
-
winter, and so full of happiness
and laughter it looks like they are
about to burst. That is what is so
beautiful about this time of year.
(This composition was written by
a young girl from Highland,
N.Y.)
Well its nice, very sweet, and
very
sentimental, but what is
it
doing in 'a college
_
newspaper?
Let's not.be naive, leaves are not
the
only
things falling, and
somewhere
a G.l. is using a
dummy for bayonnet practice,
and every time he plunges his
weapon in it he yells, "KILL."

evoke the balance of emotion and

responsibilities to his brothers,
what are his loyalties, etc.
Dr. Teichman also stated that
he hoped tliat Marist would in
the future
be enriched by a
greater
diversification
of
students
in
terms of race, creed,
and
economic
and
social
background. Such diversification
makes for healthy intellectual
friction and ferment.

The battle is on. Ad Hoc Committees are forming, heads are rolling,
heated arguments are being waged and tension is at a maximum. The
Long Range Plan for Marist College in the Seventies has been releas~d.
The Presidential Planning Committee has released a document which
holds the potential to destroy Marist College if it
is
not properly
discussed and revised appropriately. But conversely,
if
the proper
adjustments are effected, the document holds a similar potential to
develop Marist into an institution with a reputation second to none.
THE CIRCLE has decided to ignore the former potential and has
concentrated on fostering the latter.
Looking at the actual docu!Ilent itself reveals five_ state~. goals of
which the most controversial 1s goal number 2.1 entitled,
Learn to
live in a technological age." Basically, this goal is marvelous and_ does
not hold any potential for turning Marist College into a community of
"technocrats". For besides proposing that the ind!vidl!al be infor1;11~d
of the technological advancements
in
modern society 1t als? spec1f1~s
that,
"A
vital program in the humanities is, the_refore, ~ssential 1f on~ 1s
to enter. this highly organized and tecqnological society as a creative
and critical individual: one who can articulate perspective and valu~s,
and one who can incarnate tradition." Consequently, all prospective
"technocrats" may cease worrying about the ST A TED GOAL - it does
provide a channel for maintaining your sanity.
There are mequmes within the plan. For example, section
2.4.2d) calls for the maintenance or slight increase of the 20: I student
faculty ratio. This proposal is fine but it makes no provision to correct
the
lopsided ratios of 130-50:
I
in English, History and Business as
compared with I 0-20:
1
ratios in Science majors. Let's face it. Some
students (and not the science students) are being cheated.
.
The CIRCLE realizes that it is much easier to censor the plan than 1t
is to laud the good points. But the good points will take care of
themselves: what we have to accomplish by
.this
issue and this editorial
is to provoke educated discussion of this vital document before any
decisions are made.
Finally, the CIRCLE leaves you with the foilowin~ w~nds from
Francis Bacon, (These words were found at the beginning of the
..:hapter entitled "Scientific Humanism" from Herbert
S.
Muller's book
Science and Criticism: The Humanistic Tradition in Contemporary
Thought).
·
"For the matter in hand is no mere felicity of speculation, but the
real business and fortunes of the human race, and all power of
operation. For man is but the servant
and
interpreter of nature: what
he does and what he knows
is
only what he has observed of nature's
order in fact or in thought; beyond this he knows nothing and can do
nothing."
Build U p ... Let Down.
Get Out ...
The first indication that Mr. Nixon would make a major speech on
Vietnam came from the White House shortly before the· day of
moratorium on October 15.'The scheduling of the address three weeks
in advance was unusual. It prompted speculation among the critics and
they then relaxed their attack in the hope of peace. In the fi~l?s of
Vietnam the soldiers waited for the Presidents address - the nuhtary
commanders reported that the soldiers were not responding to orders
as usual. They thought perhaps they were going home. Much of
"silent"
America waited
as
well
as
"vocal" America, for the
presidential speech.
Then on November
3
the President displayed a most profound lack
of political agility knowledge of history (Vietnam history), and
misunderstanding of his electorate. The speech was a let down. It
turned the clock back to the days of Johnson. The talk of rejection of
immediate withdrawal, the lack of progress at the negotiations, the call
for domestic support, and the implication of escalation to counter
enemy attack are all too familiar. The American people do not want to
hear it. They rejected it last November.
The American people do not want a "secret" timetable contingent
upon battlefield gains. The American people can not wait for the
South to take over the war. They want immediate withdrawal of
American forces; all of them.
It
remains for concerned Americans to work for the immediate
termination of the war. The Nixon government must be made to
understand;
Every available means of demonstrating
to this
government our disagreement with policy should be used. November
14th and 15th
will
afford us the opportunity to do so.
*****
The students, intellectuals, and financial leaders of America realize
that the war is over and that we have lost. We have lost the funds that
should have gone to the ailing cities, that should have been used for
eudcation, elimination of poverty, for control of pollution and many
many othetS. We have lost the peoples faith in the American
government. We can no longer talk to one another regarding racial
·
problems for we have
lost our patience. Finally we have lost lives, loo
many
lives,
too youthful, too far from home. We have lost the war -
let
us now bring the boys home.

I was asked if the long-range

the expense of the humanities.
This hypothesis is based on the
statement of goals developed by

which were printed

because of the wording of the

but instead beat two teams from the big city with ease. The football
team hasn't beat Siena in the last four years but that jinx ended with
a 2 7-13 victory. And then tthere is the soccer team. After lo~ing six
out of their first seven games, salvaging only a he, they didn't lose
faith and soon they were a three game win streak. Led by those
sparkling front liners of Walaszek (4 goals and 2 a~sists in ~hos~ three

.In
Perspective
Isidore
Sabeta
To anyone who has been to a
home soccer game in the last
three years, it is obvious that
one athlete stands out above the
rest. In the eyes of the spectator,
"Izzy" (as his soccer team-mates
call
him)
may not seem as the
most
colorful performer
nor
does he seem to have the flashy
moves. But no spectator has ever
seen a soccer player get the jo_b
don·e as he does. Izzy's «job"
is
to stop the opposing offensive
line and he does so with amazing
consistency. Br. Sabeta came to
the U.S.
·
four years ago from
Rhodesia. Soccer is close to a
national pastime in Rhodesia,
therefore, Brother Sabeta got his
start
playing
in elementary
school. He· began playing as a
goalie and continued as one until
he
reached
Marist.
After
considering the size and ability
of Br. Isidore, Doctor Goldman
decided that he would be more
valuable to the team on the field
rather confined to the goal, and
Izzy
has
been stand-out
at
fullback ever since. Br. Isidore
also has the ability to handle the
ball on offense as he proved
against Nyack this season. With
the score tied late in the game
Izzy came from his defensive
spot to continually feed the ball
to our offensive line and prevent
Nyack from clearing the ball
downfield. Doc. Goldman says it
best of the value of Br. Isidore
Sabeta: " •.. the only words to
describe him are cliches like
fantastic, and outstanding; he
has been more than just a soccer
player, he's been a symbol to the
rest of the team who are always
happy to see
him
out on the
field. For three years he has
been the bulk of our game;
unfortunately,
there is only one
of him; at a big school with the
proper publicity, he would be an
all-American."
Br. Isidore is
presentJy devoting most of his
studies to Chemistry and he says
although his future plans arc not
certain, he feels that he will
teach eventually.
