· march to the Internal Revenue
Service to protest use of tax
money in an illegal war. After
the invasion of Cambodia and
the murder of students at Kent
State
and
Jackson
State, a
Mother's Day Rally was held in
Poughkeepsie,·
with President
Linus Foy of Marist · as main
speaker.
The Committee held its . first
meeting of the fall on September
30, At that time, it was decided
to
emphasize
community
education about the war rather
than
to
sponsor
further
demonstrations at this time. The
·twenty-eighth
Congressional
district, of which Poughkeepsie
is now a part, has a good chance
to elect a peace candidate to
Congress. Fonner Representative
John Dow, one of the
first
seven
Congressmen to oppose the War,
is·running against Representative
Martin
MacNeally,
former
Commander
of the American
Legion
and
one
of the
staunchest
supporters
of the
Johnson-Nixon War in Vietnam.
The
Committee
decided that
demonstrations
might
hurt
Dow's chances of election.
As part of the observance of
the nationwide campaign against
the war planned for the last
week in October, the Committee
is planning a concerted drive of
leafleting
· throughout
the
Poughkeepsie
area,
with
different
leaflets prepared on
The War and Students, The Cost
of War, amd Ecology and the
War.
.
The
Committee
welcomes
students
from Marist to plan
future acitivities and to work on
the campaign against the War on
the
local
level.

industrial plants, Wall Street and
other firms will be organ~zed. to
get a first hand look at the
internal
operations
of these
companies
and the problems
which confront them every day.
There would of course be many
social events to go along with
these other activities. The above
are only some of the things that
the
Business and Economics
Club are going to offer and there
will be much more. However,
none
of
these
will
ever
materialize
if
the Business and

don't
respond and support the Club.
There is a lot of work which will
have
to be done
in the
reformation of this club, and in
keeping it operating and growing
afterwards. It can't be done with
ten or fifteen students alone.
The opportunity is now here to
do it, th~ question is: Do you
want it?
If
you are interested,
and we hope you are, please
express your interest to your

Student Body President
During the summer, members
of the student body, faculty and
administration were represented
at Planning Committee Meetings
to discuss_ the
problem of
governii.nce at Marist. After two
day-long
conferences
the
Planning
Committee
decided
that the best way to deal with
this
question
would be the
formulation
of a Presidential
Advisory Council. The Council
would
be named
by the
President and would take over
the functions of the Budget and
Planning
Committees.
No
specific
number of members
were recommended nor was any
specific agenda formulated for it
was thought that this should be
left up to the President to work
out. It -was understood that the
question of governance would be
· undertaken by the Committee.
The Committee hoped that this
Council could take shape as a
sort
of internal
Board of
Trustees
with
no
duly
authorized power but in effect
. the same type of authority that
the old Budget and Planning
Committees had. In other words,
nowhere would it say that this
Council's report meant anything
but because of its make-up and
because it was formulated by the
president it would have a great
deal of power.
This
week
President
Foy
announced the members of the
Presidential
Advisory
Committee. (see page 4). This
committee is proposed and those
named will have to notify the
president of their acceptance.
The Committee was named by
Foy after serious consultation
with
student,
faculty
and
administration and staff leaders.
Members
of the
Student
Government,
College Union
Board,
Student
Academic
. Committee
and
the
Circle
editors were asked to submit
names to the students along with
student
recommendations
for
faculty
and
administration
representatives. After consulting
with various members of the
student body the names were
announced. President Foy tried
to keep
a balance between
seniors
and
underclassmen
because
of the problem of
continuity
that could develop
when graduation comes upon us
in May.
Foy
named
7 seniors,
2
juniors, 2 sophomores and 2
freshmen
giving
a balance
between
experience
and
continuity.
In the students
selected we have a wide range of
opinion that should serve to see
that
students
are
well
represented
at the Advisory
Council.
Hopefully this Council will
begin work on some of the
problems that affect the college.
The students, along with the
faculty and administration are
anxious to see some constructive
changes formulated by this very
important Council.

It appears that as time goes on
we are becomir.g much more
complex in our ways of living.
Have they changed that much
over the past four years? Many
students, this writer included,
feel that the responsibilities of
these people are quite nebulous
and . this makes us wonder just
how necessary each position is.
This viewpoint proposes the
following
questions:
Are
resident advisors in fact resident
babysitters? What are the duties
of the resident coordinators? To
what point does the authority of
the housemaster extend?_ How
does the graduate assistant aid in
the running of a residence hall'?
These and many other questions
are
in
the minds of Leo House
residents. Maybe, it would be a
good idea to form a committee
of interested
students
to
examine
in
detail the structure
of Leo House. They could speak
to
all
people involved, make a
. report
of their findings and
suggest
recommendations
for
change. In this project, many
individuals
could
become
involved. A good starting point
_ is to attend the House Council
meetings personall. A resolution
was just passed that the Leo
House Council meetings will be.
open. Go with your questions
and ask to be heard. It is your
house and you have the. right,
if
not the responsibility to be a
prrt of the decision making.

community .so that we can all be prepared when the hard rain falls
on any individual.
.
.
· This first . article
will
deal with being arrested.
Before being
arrested.'you
should have the name and number of a good lawyer
somewhere
cm
·your person. You should keep this 'with your at all
times. Right after you· are ·put under arrest you should ask to see
your"lawyer.
: _· ·
.
,
·
--The arrest itself:. A cop does not have to tell. you t11at you arc
under._.a:rtesVIf he stops You to question" you ask if you're undt:r
·arrest.ff. he says
}'cs then he will !lave to inform you of your rights.
If he says no then ask him
if
you can go
fi:cc.
If he answcrc no to_
· that then you are in fact tinder arrest. You should keep-asking him if
you· ·:rre under a~rest, and if not then you should be let fre·e.
If
he
. finally ~ays you are under-arrest ask him what for.·
It
is very important
to
remember everything that the
cop
does and
· tell it exactly to your lawyer as soon as you sec him.
·· · Don't
talk when• you're busted .. You have to. tell your name,
address, school and who you live with: Besides that the only thing
you. should say is that you want you_r lawyer ..
Don't fight - resisting arrest, even if ifs an illegal arrest, is a crime.
· There is also the chance of getting you head busted anyway.
Don't lie - Tell them your real name and address etc. lying will just
have you bail raised,
If
,your house has drugs or anything else in it it
would be wise
fo
call theh1 arid let them clean the house.
. , Reme_mber the badge numbers of the arresting •:op - don't write it
·down
because iL will be confiscated anyway and it will antagonize
the cops which isn't going to help you. .
'
If you can't reach your lawyer then call a fr~end and tell him to
, get a good lawyer. Then ask the court to appoint a lawyer, you can
; always change lawyers wht;:n yours get to the station.
·
.
Finally one must realize· tl1at having a right to do something and
being able to do it aren't' always the same thing in Ameril:a. Don't
. force your rights because everytime one is vfolated you have a better
· chance to win your
.
case. You must take in everything exactly to
assure the judge that you're telling the truth. •
Most of all realize that the prople do have power. We should all
know this and use it to keep us together. As Eldridge Cleaver says,
"We all are either the oppressor or the oppressed." Maybe together
we _can beat the Monster which is engulfing this Country.

Meditations On
A Bleak Day
. by
Anthony Direnzo
Sitting silently in a class room,
I. find
myself
extremely
depressed.
As
·1
look out the window
I
see,
I
see grass, leaves, trees and
cars passing by,
I
see God's House; it appears
empty.
The borders on the windows
of the classroom,
Remind me of a
fram"
on a
painting.
The painting
is
real-very real.
It
tells us the story of adreary
day.
A day which reflects people·s
sins and sorrows.
A day which prohibits one to
go outdoors.
A day in which you cannot
play or sleep,
For fear of acquiring a chill.
The people
J
have greeted
today,
Do not
have that
certain
politeness and cheer,·
Like one notices on sunny
days
I just heard a bird from a tree,
It
sounds happy,
I wonder
why?
Maybe it has just giv\!n life.
I
believe a God has given us
this day
This is the sign of his hcing
unhappy with his flock.
I sec God's House, it appears
empty.

It
turned out to be the Club of the

due to the lack of effective
leadership, the club dissolved.
However, there are many around
who are interested in seeing this

The Mid-Hudson Committee
to End the War in Vietnam has
been coordinating activities to
protest the involvement of the
United States in Indochina. It
is
composed
of representatives
from
area high schools and
colleges,
political
groups,
Vietnam
veterans, and other
peace organizations.
It
came into
being to plan Poughkeepsie's
observance of the October 15
Moratorium, which included a
march
and two community
rallies, featuring Pete Seeger and
Senator Charles Goodell.
At the time of the November
March on Washington,
the
Committee
organized
transportation
·and
also
sponsored
a 40-hour
Vigil
Against the War at the Post
Office.
·In
December
it
supported
a two-day
vigil
organized by local high school
students held at Christ Church,
and in February organized a
demonstration outside the.Court
House to protest the conspiracy
by
John Kater
trial of the Chicago Seven.
On April 15, the day on which
income tax returns are due, the
Committee sponsored a rally and
· march to the Internal Revenue
Service to protest use of tax
money in an illegal war. After
the invasion of Cambodia and
the murder of students at Kent
State
and
Jackson
State, a
Mother's Day Rally was held in
Poughkeepsie,·
with President
Linus Foy of Marist · as main
speaker.
The Committee held its . first
meeting of the fall on September
30, At that time, it was decided
to
emphasize
community
education about the war rather
than
to
sponsor
further
demonstrations at this time. The
·twenty-eighth
Congressional
district, of which Poughkeepsie
is now a part, has a good chance
to elect a peace candidate to
Congress. Fonner Representative
John Dow, one of the
first
seven
Congressmen to oppose the War,
is·running against Representative
Martin
MacNeally,
former
Commander
of the American
Legion
and
one
of the
staunchest
supporters
of the
Johnson-Nixon War in Vietnam.
The
Committee
decided that
demonstrations
might
hurt
Dow's chances of election.
As part of the observance of
the nationwide campaign against
the war planned for the last
week in October, the Committee
is planning a concerted drive of
leafleting
· throughout
the
Poughkeepsie
area,
with
different
leaflets prepared on
The War and Students, The Cost
of War, amd Ecology and the
War.
.
The
Committee
welcomes
students
from Marist to plan
future acitivities and to work on
the campaign against the War on
the
local
level.

interest to the student. Trips to
industrial plants, Wall Street and
other firms will be organ~zed. to
get a first hand look at the
internal
operations
of these
companies
and the problems
which confront them every day.
There would of course be many
social events to go along with
these other activities. The above
are only some of the things that
the
Business and Economics
Club are going to offer and there
will be much more. However,
none
of
these
will
ever
materialize
if
the Business and
Economics
students
don't
respond and support the Club.
There is a lot of work which will
have
to be done
in the
reformation of this club, and in
keeping it operating and growing
afterwards. It can't be done with
ten or fifteen students alone.
The opportunity is now here to
do it, th~ question is: Do you
want it?
If
you are interested,
and we hope you are, please
express your interest to your
professors.

Student Body President
During the summer, members
of the student body, faculty and
administration were represented
at Planning Committee Meetings
to discuss_ the
problem of
governii.nce at Marist. After two
day-long
conferences
the
Planning
Committee
decided
that the best way to deal with
this
question
would be the
formulation
of a Presidential
Advisory Council. The Council
would
be named
by the
President and would take over
the functions of the Budget and
Planning
Committees.
No
specific
number of members
were recommended nor was any
specific agenda formulated for it
was thought that this should be
left up to the President to work
out. It -was understood that the
question of governance would be
· undertaken by the Committee.
The Committee hoped that this
Council could take shape as a
sort
of internal
Board of
Trustees
with
no
duly
authorized power but in effect
. the same type of authority that
the old Budget and Planning
Committees had. In other words,
nowhere would it say that this
Council's report meant anything
but because of its make-up and
because it was formulated by the
president it would have a great
deal of power.
This
week
President
Foy
announced the members of the
Presidential
Advisory
Committee. (see page 4). This
committee is proposed and those
named will have to notify the
president of their acceptance.
The Committee was named by
Foy after serious consultation
with
student,
faculty
and
administration and staff leaders.
Members
of the
Student
Government,
College Union
Board,
Student
Academic
. Committee
and
the
Circle
editors were asked to submit
names to the students along with
student
recommendations
for
faculty
and
administration
representatives. After consulting
with various members of the
student body the names were
announced. President Foy tried
to keep
a balance between
seniors
and
underclassmen
because
of the problem of
continuity
that could develop
when graduation comes upon us
in May.
Foy
named
7 seniors,
2
juniors, 2 sophomores and 2
freshmen
giving
a balance
between
experience
and
continuity.
In the students
selected we have a wide range of
opinion that should serve to see
that
students
are
well
represented
at the Advisory
Council.
Hopefully this Council will
begin work on some of the
problems that affect the college.
The students, along with the
faculty and administration are
anxious to see some constructive
changes formulated by this very
important Council.

It appears that as time goes on

Have they changed that much
over the past four years? Many
students, this writer included,
feel that the responsibilities of
these people are quite nebulous
and . this makes us wonder just
how necessary each position is.
This viewpoint proposes the
following
questions:
Are
resident advisors in fact resident
babysitters? What are the duties
of the resident coordinators? To
what point does the authority of
the housemaster extend?_ How
does the graduate assistant aid in
the running of a residence hall'?
These and many other questions
are
in
the minds of Leo House
residents. Maybe, it would be a
good idea to form a committee
of interested
students
to
examine
in

of Leo House. They could speak
to
all

of their findings and
suggest

_ is to attend the House Council

.. Aftertalk:ing

·
too, many people are. uninformed of their rights. With the fascism
. that exists in . Amerika . today_ each and every person must . be
equipped
with knowledge · so that he can fight back when the ·
oppressor ·strike .. The purpose of this column will be to inform the
community .so that we can all be prepared when the hard rain falls
on any individual.
.
.
· This first . article
will
deal with being arrested.
Before being
arrested.'you
should have the name and number of a good lawyer
somewhere
cm
·your person. You should keep this 'with your at all
times. Right after you· are ·put under arrest you should ask to see
your"lawyer.
: _· ·
.
,
·
--The arrest itself:. A cop does not have to tell. you t11at you arc
under._.a:rtesVIf he stops You to question" you ask if you're undt:r
·arrest.ff. he says
}'cs then he will !lave to inform you of your rights.
If he says no then ask him
if
you can go
fi:cc.
If he answcrc no to_
· that then you are in fact tinder arrest. You should keep-asking him if
you· ·:rre under a~rest, and if not then you should be let fre·e.
If
he
. finally ~ays you are under-arrest ask him what for.·
It
is very important
to
remember everything that the
cop
does and
· tell it exactly to your lawyer as soon as you sec him.
·· · Don't
talk when• you're busted .. You have to. tell your name,
address, school and who you live with: Besides that the only thing
you. should say is that you want you_r lawyer ..
Don't fight - resisting arrest, even if ifs an illegal arrest, is a crime.
· There is also the chance of getting you head busted anyway.
Don't lie - Tell them your real name and address etc. lying will just
have you bail raised,
If
,your house has drugs or anything else in it it
would be wise
fo
call theh1 arid let them clean the house.
. , Reme_mber the badge numbers of the arresting •:op - don't write it
·down
because iL will be confiscated anyway and it will antagonize
the cops which isn't going to help you. .
'
If you can't reach your lawyer then call a fr~end and tell him to
, get a good lawyer. Then ask the court to appoint a lawyer, you can
; always change lawyers wht;:n yours get to the station.
·
.
Finally one must realize· tl1at having a right to do something and
being able to do it aren't' always the same thing in Ameril:a. Don't
. force your rights because everytime one is vfolated you have a better
· chance to win your
.
case. You must take in everything exactly to
assure the judge that you're telling the truth. •
Most of all realize that the prople do have power. We should all
know this and use it to keep us together. As Eldridge Cleaver says,
"We all are either the oppressor or the oppressed." Maybe together
we _can beat the Monster which is engulfing this Country.

I

The painting
is
real-very real.
It
tells us the story of adreary
day.
A day which reflects people·s
sins and sorrows.
A day which prohibits one to
go outdoors.
A day in which you cannot

For fear of acquiring a chill.

Do not

Like one notices on sunny

Maybe it has just giv\!n life.

This is the sign of his hcing
