people but what they want to
hear. Instead of insisting upon
revealing man's true identity, he
will put up all kinds of facades
to make himself more attractive
to each individual. And also to
each individual, there may be a
different facade. We can't go on
lfmg to each. other. We have to
see and feel the necessity for
man to relate to each other on a
real basis, for unless we do so, I
fear man will destroy himself.
Man will
inevitably
destroy
himself by trying in vain to
become someone he
is
not. This
is
inevitable unless man can learn
to control his self to the point of
understanding and truth. Each
of us sees life through his own
windows, however, we must be
certain that the windows are
open.
Once .a person enters the drug scene he comes into contact with
, drug oriented people and, with that, harder drugs. The person using
marijuana may be mature enough not to go any farther but what

But as long as the campus harbors people who $ell drugs, people
who live drugs,
.there
will
be
people who flip out;
As
long as the
administration of the college looks the_ other way, th~re will be
people using drugs who can't handle them. It is up to the college
community itself to set the tone on drugs.
·
I now
aim
my remarks at the people who are caught up in
this
drug scene which leads nowhere.
If you must use your drugs do it in
private - get out. of the dormitories~ and for God's sake don't push
your wares. Have enough decency.in you to realize that you have a
responsibility. to other people. The guy who sold the L.S.D.
to'
the
person flipped is responsible for that person's condition because it
was he who made it possible. The person who introduces another
person. to drugs
is
in some way responsible for what happens to that
person in the future.
·
This cQlumn·
will
have little effect on the person who is heavily
into the drug scene. But I hope it makes people who are thinking
about doing drugs think and I hope it makes people who detest
.the
contagious drug scene, as I do, want to act. Act against the people
who cultivate and spread this disease: the pushers.

Reminder
To
C.O.'s
The following resolution waa presented to tne faculty and Student
Government for their approval last spring.In a closed ballot vote the
faculty approved the measure by a· 27 to 20 majority and the
Student Government passed it by
a
substantial majority.
·
·
"Whereas it
is
the unalterable duty and inalienable right of each
man· under God to obey his conscience; and whereas the teaching of
students at Maris~ College helps to develop. a sense of social and.
moral awareness which will guide him in the service of his fellow
man: therefore be it resolved that Marist College recognizes that
young men who .seek alternatives to military service for reasons of
conscience have taken a position that is honest and above reproach
and that Marist College supports these people in their conscientious
act."

Reform Not.Rearrangement
At the recent faculty colloquium concerning curriculum revision
a
number of innovative and worthwhile ideas were presented by Dr.
Malvin Michelson. (page
1)
There was an attempt to dismiss Dr.
Michelson's proposals
as
interesting but not relevant to the business
of the colloquium. However, Michelson was told that he was able to
· draw up a program and submit it to Dean LaPietra for ratification.
We regard the Third Year At Home program and Dr. Michelson's
entire
·
presentation
as
the most relevant proposal discussed on
·
Friday. The Third Year at Home program
is
an efficient means of
·
ending the lipservice given to community action on the part of
students, faculty, and administration of Marist.
However, the concept of a bookstore at Marist would truly be
an
innovative act. The unreasonable facsimile of a bookstore that exists,
·does reveal many unfortunate aspects of the atmosphere here.
Perhaps stud.ents don't read. Perhaps the faculty-doesn't read outside
their respective fields or specialization. Both, if true, are damaging to
the concept of a well-rounded student body and faculty.
The CIRCLE feels it necessary that an alternative operation of the
bookstore
be established. We recommend that the student
government designate
an
individual to work with
Mr.
D'
Angelo in
the establishment of a bookstore rather than what now exist!:. A
·cooperative bookstore
is
a.
possibility. However, such a venture
requires the assistance
and
cooperation of
all
segments of the
college.
/
Circle Policy
Some time.last year, the editors of THE CIRCLE reasoned that
a
.. news•• paper at Marist had become obsolete; Since we
are
a small
college
-community,
plus the fact that the paper is printed several
days after an event's occurrence, lt seemed fruitless to try to report
on something
that almost everyone already knew about.
·
THE CIRCLE~ therefore,
underwent a gradual change into what
was called "a sounding J>oard for the opinions and thoughts of the
.Marist community.'' It became and still is a feature type paper which
often, but not always, treats topics subjectively i:ather than
obje'ctively. We do not claim to be an objective group of-"news"
minded reporters (N.B.
-nowhere
in our·maslhead does it say ''The
Marist College Newspaper", but rather we
are
interested in offering
to anyone
·
the chance to express his or her opinion regarding any
subject of their choosing.
Thus, the staff
·
of THE CIRLCE
is
the college community in
general. We believe that the best way to represent the thoughts of
the entire campus is to give everyone the opportunity to represent
.themselves.
THE CIRCLE has, in the past, been accused of slanting
its stories anabeing too one sided. To this we can only say that THE
.
CIRCLE will be only
as
slanted
as
the people who write for it.
Though our editorials will be dictated by our own consciences,
the
rest
of the paper belongs to the opinions of the community at large.
You have your chance. Use it.
REFORM OR POLITICS
from
I
throu.gh
the
APC.
Dr.
Zuccarello, chairman of the APC
said this was a matter for the
dean's
office. Dean LaPietra
affirmed Dr. Zuccarello's remark
but qualified it by saying Dr .
.
Mi chalson
needed
faculty
approval
The
buck
had sufficiently
been passed and those at the
colloquium had reaffirmed the
student's belief that curriculum
reform had been reduced once
again
._to
a "buck
passing"
political
exercise.
Quite
,
obviously this is designed to
confuse
the
observer
and
ferment the other interests. It
is
a common institutional gimmick
used to eliminate the probability
of one locating the true decision
maker.
·
If
for no other reason- the
students must vote on·
this
new
curriculum to protect themselves
from
those
who do not
understand them and from those
who
have
forgotten
that
-education
is
what's it all about.

The
Soldier's
Question
..
By Ralph New!,oy
Where are the soft breasts of my mother
upon whose lap
I
used t_o lie
in the springtime of my spirit
when I only cared for ice-cream trucks,
summer sounds, winter white, Christmas bells -
and those smells: Sunday dinner, popcorn
living room fireplaces surrounded by familiar faces ...
Where
are
the soft breasts of those girls,
upon whose laps
I
used to lie -
They'd stroke my brow
- and
I
their thigh.
./
Where of those firm breasts of love
from which I'd drink the milk of life
when the world was good to me
many
centuries
ago?
Where
are
the soft br~
of my mother,
as
I
lay reaching for
a bust
.
sucking the dust
· czying for my bleeding life
which
was
stabbed by the knife
of my military wife.
