Bro.· Linus- Foy brought-the
two-year and long range plans
for
,the
college into -the dorms
last week when he spoke to a
group
of
Freshmen and later in
the week to a group of Seniors.
The Freshmen meeting which
took place on the
first floor of
Champagnat proved to be a most
informative
affair,
Bro. Foy
presented
the
plan to the
students and then opened the
meeting to questions.
~
general
discussion
ensued with Bro,
Belanger, Mr. O'Keefe and Bro.
Fred Lambert contributing.
The
freshmen
expressed
concern
·with
the relevancy of
the curriculum and advocated a
"system'.'
in
whi.ch
their
creativity
would be respected.
Basic questions concerning t~e
educational
process and
its
purpose were raised.
An immediate
result
of the
meeting was the affirmation by a
student group to evaluate the
History Department and make
recommendations
regarding
subjects and requirements.
The
freshmen's
primary.
interest was in the curriculum.
They questioned the content- of
courses, their organization and
the necessi!; ,f a required core.
In commenting on the school
plant, particularly in the future,
they felt the need for expansion
of library facilities.
Bro. Belanger_ stated that if
indeed students had criticisms of
the core or the plant that they
should
make
their
feelin~
known, either individually ot
collectively. Bro. Belanger ~lated
that the
type
of education they
receive is a result of their own

Ten Marist students willleave
in the early part of January to
do volunteer work

region
of the

Those going will be traveling
by car or plane, depending on
when they leave. The cost of the
entire trip is being paid for by
the · Appalachian Reaction on
campus. Thanks to a grant of
fourteen hundred dollars by the
present student administration,
the participating volunteers will
be given all transportation
and
living expenses.
A total of sixteen weeks of
Maiist volunteer work will be

the discussion.
The Seniors pointed to the
need for an advisory system
dealing
with the professions
after
graduation
(i.e.
law,
medicine,
etc.) and graduate
schools.
The
Seniors
also
expressed the opinion that as the

Christian
Appalachian Project
Inc.
(CAP),
during the first half
of January. This poverty project
is run by Father Ralph Beiting,
two other priests and permanent
as well
as temporary
lay
volunteers. The principal aim of
the project, which has its center
in Lancaster Kentucky, is not
the making of converts but the
setting ofa Christian
example
by
zealous efforts to rid Appalachia
of its poverty.

The eastern Kentucky region
is the poorest area in the United
States.
The

Appalachian
Project operates
out of four counties which make
up an area about the size of
Rhode
Island.
The

volunteers will. be staying in one
of the
four
counties,
each
county has a CAP center located
in it. The work the volunteers
will be doing

facts·
and
situations that. have evolved and

. These goals or the attempt to

with
the
President

as to how this sport's interest~

Track

priority as to be one of the next
major sports to be developed at
Marist. A board or outdoor track
had been promised in the near

To sum 1,1p, let us view the

perspective of history. To give
overwhelming
value to the
technologies, would be to think
that man lives by bread alone.
To give overbearing emphasis on
the

would
be
unrealistic and would do cruel
harm to our students. Let us not
succumb to the mirage that what
is immediate and local is always
the most important. Let us not ·
think that immediate utility is
the chief desideratum. Above all,
let us not forget that we can
have a very affluent society and
· at the same time, a very sick

The football team didn't seem
to better their own problem any,
by dumping their used boxes of
athletic
supplies such as the
mountain of tape roll containers.
By the way, how about a little
renovation of St. Mary's itself -
the team deserves it.
Next time you're taking the
parents for a tour of the campus,
be sure to stop at the M.C.

A Christmas Carol
This is the time of year when many of us are caught up in a spirit
of giving. To some, giving is only -that which follows reciprocally
from receiving.
T9
some, giving is that which is done after something is bought.
Buying
becomes intertwined with giving, and buying becomes the
principle act. Money is exchanged for goods, goods are exchanged
for other goods and Christmas becomes the capitalists' dream •
These notions of giving are of doubtful value. They in no way
contribute· to man's humanity.
Perhaps it is time to call for a
re-dedication to human principles and to act humanly without the
notion of reward stimulation.
Let us abandon. materialism for
something more basic, more lasting, more human.
If
indeed one is caught up in a spirit of giving the Circle can
suggest
some
organizations
whose purposes are immediately
recognizable.
These organizations
are not the
"traditional"
charitable -groups one hears about during Christmas, but they do
carry out important work throughout the year.
They
are:
Black
Afro-American
Brothers
Association,
Poughkeepsie Storefront (see Rudy Silas); American Friends Service
Committee,

Cowboys and Viet Cong
Cowboys and Indians. Cops and Robbers. Batman vs. the Riddler.
The guys in the white hats vs. the guys in the black hats. The great
American ethos - there is sharp division between good and evil.
There is no room for any gray matter. Because of this sharp division,
· because evil is so readily distinguishable is can easily be legislated
into oblivion.
Poverty, Hitler and racism - obviously black hat wearers - could all
be dissected rationally and crushed by the forces of those who don
white hats.
"It
has always seemed puzzling," says Time magazine (Dec.
5,
1969), "how the essentially pessimistic theology of Puritanism could
become the underpinning of a buoyant, almost recklessly optimistic
civilization," such as the American nation. A nation with a gnawing
obsession in claiming to wear the white hat no matter what the
circumstances
as evidenced by Stephen Decauter's
gem, "My
country, in her intercourse with foreign nations, may she always be
right, but my country rigl1t or wrong."
But there is another doctrine to the Puritan ethic- besides its
pessimistic observance of humility and the admission of man as
basically evil.
It postulates the existence of the Elect of God or his
Chosen People. The American people with their abundant wealth
superior technology, natural idealism and flawless combat record
have come to see themselves more as the chosen few rather than
common
-sinners.
This along with that peculiarly
American
philosophy of· pragmatism, which sees evil as existing in mans
institutions but not in man himself, accounts for this profound Daily
Newsish philosophy so pathetically prevalent in America.
· "In the light of My
Lai,"
chides Time, "Americans have little cause
for feeling self-righteous and much reason for self-reflection."-
Make
no inistake-iibout
it.
We arenot the chosen people of God. We are
capable of evil and American gray matter does exist. Some cops do
take
graft and some robbers are capable
of
Jove. My
Lai
was not the
first American atrocity and not the first betrayal of the American
ethos, although the others were cloaked in a veil of justice.
Hiroshima, _Nagasaki, Indian genocide and black enslavement all
belong to American history. Sherman's march on the South was no
Macy's Day parade either. Vietnam is the grayest matter of
all
American ventures and it exists on the darker side of the spectrum.
It
.is a warning that America must swallow the lump in its
self-righteous throat and prevent its children from playing cowboys
and Viet Cong. In the words of Thomas Merton, "Thos~ whom the
gods would _ destory, they first make mad with self-righteous
confidence and unquestioning self-esteem."
_From Nurnberg to
My
Lai
The MyLai incident did occur. This is an harsh, cruel fact. Now
the problem is how to try the men involved in the massacre when, in
fact, the majority of them are now civilians. Too, when it is decided
how to try the m~n, what verdict shall the court render?
The situation
bring; to mind the infamous Numberg Trials.
.Twenty-two Nazi leaders were tried for "War Crimes" of which
nineteen were convicted and ten were hanged in lieu of their defense
that they were "just following orders." The basis for the convictions
(later endorsed by the U.N.)
was the great American Ethos - good
always presides over evil. The following is the reasoning
as
presented
by the U.N.: ''The fact that a person acted pursuant t.o orders of his
government or a superior does not relieve him of responsibility
under international law, provided a moral choice was in fact possible
to him." There is no room allowed for gray matter.
But if the ruling on the My Lai incidient is to be fair than it must
be contingent upon the precedent set at Numberg and by the U.N.
statement. If it is not, than ten Nazi officials were hung unjustly -
which is
a
nice way of saying murdered,lt is quite obvious in the case
of My
Lai
that the correct moral judgement was to disobey orders
if
orders were given.
If no ordeis were given than it is a case of blatent
mass murder. In either case, the defendents must be judged guilty .Or
should they?
The
ruling
would be unfair
if the black-white Nurnberg precedent
was an atrocity
within
itself. Perhaps there
is gray matter
circumventing
MyLai. From
the minute a soldier enters boot camp
he is brainwashed to obey orders. More than one soldier has been
shot or imprisoned for refusing
to obey orders
on
moral
grounds. No
less
than
30,000
Americans
bedeck our prisons for disobeying an
induction order
for moral reasons.
This, of course, implies
that the
courts
are
determining what
is
moral for
an
individual, which is
·opposed
to
the American ethic!! This is definitely gray matter.
Then
again,
we must remember that
Charlie
Company is not-the
only company to
kill
civilians in VietNam, it happens
every day.
Since
the
1949 Geneva Convention
prohibits the deliberate
mistreatment of non-combatants
in
a
war zone, then nuclear
weapons themselves are the greatest of
all
war
crimes
for they
most
assuredly shall mistreat non-combatants in a
war
zone. More
gray
matter.
There is no solution. There is no way to give Charlie
Company
a
fair
trial. There is no way to judge these people There
is no
way to
bring
back the dead. There is only one thing to do
~
get out of

The Gaels of Iona, by virtue of
an overwhelming first half, went·
on to defeat the Red Foxes last
Wednesday night by the score of
72-58.
.
. In the first half, the.Foxes had
two
major
problems -which
proved -to be · their downfall.
Their main problem was the lack
of a shooting eye as they shot
less than 25% from the floor.
· This was complicated by the fact
that Iona was dominating the
backboards. Marist was getting
only· one shot · every time they
had_possession, and on the vast
majority
of their possessions
. they could not cash in.
Conversely, at the other end
of the court, Iona was as hot as a
pistol, and, on the rare occasions
that they missed, they inyariably
got a second and. third chance.
As a result, Coach Petro's men
went to the locker room· down,
· 38-19.

· became apparent to everyone
that

had
the more
talented team, and that it was
only a matte_r of time before

from their weaker foes. At the

were just
starting-to come alive.
The second half was quickly

But the subs sparked by the play
of Jack Whalen, ceuld not help
but run it up and the final
buzzer sourided mercifully on
Bloomfield as the score read
Marist 127, Bloomfield 67. The
team effort involved was obvious
in that there were eight players
in double figures. Sacchi (21

followed by Landy (19 pts.),
Pezzutti (16 pts.), Bauer (14
pts.), Whalen (12 pts.), Bob
