Shaping The
Shapeless
Into CommunitJ
By Fr. Leo Gallant
Anyone for tennis? In Texas? Dean Wade passed me a
brochure which might interest some seniors. "A new lay
volunteer organization has been created to strengthen the
.
struggling Catholic school system and boost CCD programs in
needy Texas parishes. Called Volunteers for· Educational
Services <VES> the group will place teachers, secretaries,
administrators in both Catholic schools and religious education
programs where parishes are unable to supply or pay their own.
Volunteers are asked to give two years in exchange for sixty
dollars a month, room and board, a round trip bus fare and paid
group health insurance. They'will live in a team situation with
group liturgy, prayer, inservice training, needed to maintain the
morale and effectiveness of numbers.
•
"Dedication includes being willing to spend more energy than
normally required by a job, being able to tolerate frustration,
.
wanting to establish a more intimate relationship with others
and with Christ. Interested persons may contact Archie Gress,
Coordinator of VES, Texas Catholic Conferences, 800 Brazos,
Room 702, Austin, Texas, 78701."
I would like very much
to
see graduates forget about making
money for a couple of years and go helpthe very poor in other
sections of the country. I would like to see young people loyal to
their Church help spread the message of Christ to the very poor
and uneducated. But how much more I would like to see this
done at home, in Poughkeepsie, in New York. Young people
would live in communes, receive token support and help build
community among the very poor, while living in a team
situation with group prayer and inservice training.
How I would like to see here at Marist more students "being
w:lling to spend more energy than normally required, being able
to tolerate frustration, wanting to establish a more intimate
relationship with others" in order to make Marist alive, a
com~unity of love where no one has a chance to be sad, lonely,
frustrated too long. And doing all this for nothing.
Maybe Joni Mitchell's "For Free' says so well what I'm trying
to say.

The Price
by Morna Moore
It
was
dusk. The celebration
.
was noisy with the laughter of the
guests. It was an out of door
gathering, by the riverside. Gay
colored lights sparkled all about.
,people
milled through the crowd,
looking • for excitement.· There
•
was one attraction in particular,
around which most of the guests
had gathered. It was very close
to
the riverside, on the grassy hill
that gently sloped down
to
the
water. It consisted of a rope,
.
stretched above the ground and
·parallel
to the river. Beneath the
rope stood an old white haired
man. He was the caretaker of the
event. It was a contest. To enter,
one paid a fee. Then he hoisted
himselfupontothe rope and tried
to stand on it. When he had
pro:ven his ability to balance
himself, thenthe caretaker would
help him back
.
down to the
ground. Many men, mostly the
older men, were entering the·
contest.-
A
great many
'of
the
guests were watching wiU1 in-
•
terest: The men did well, each
one standing erect
.
and never
once faltering in his position. And
the old caretaker, who looked too
fragile to be in such
a
position,
also did admirably in helping the
men down - letting them step to
,·
his shoulders before going down
to the ground. It was not as ex-
citing
•
an
.
event as it had
promised to be and
.
the people
began to grow weary of it. As the
older ones left, the youngsters
were allowed to play at it. One
young boy seemed most eager.
He payed his fee and then stepped
up to the rope. He hoisted himself
up, but just as he was about to
stand, he fell. He fell onto the soft
grass, so he was not bodily hurt .
But his soul was.<:!rus4ed
.• People
stood about and criticized him for
having failed. He did not know
what to do.
A
kind· woman who
had observed tbe affair walked
over to him. She wished to
comfort him. She helped him up
from the ground and said to him
and the hecklers, "It is no
disgrace fall. Many people are
not able to stand upon the rope."
•
She turned
to
the boy, "You may
try again." Now the boy, who had
begun to feel less sad, began to
cry. "I have no more money to
pay the fee," he said. The woman
looked at him, and with a wide
smile on her face she said, ''You
only have to pay once. For that
price you are allowed to try as
many
.times
as
·you

Secondly, it is important to realize that records are kept not only of
negative things, but also of positive achievements. All of these things
allow professional administrators to put each student into proper
perspective in dealing with him or her. The records are for intramural
use only, for assisting in development of the student

On Abortion
The Supreme Court (whose duties it is to uphold and interpret the
Constitution of the U.S.) voted 7
to
2
against most anti-abortion
statutes, finding that they were denying a woman her constitutional
rights. The Court stated that because theologians and scientists could
not agree on when life began all abortions were to remain a private
matter between a woman and a doctor before the sixth· month of
pregnancy. Anytime after the sixth. month the state may intervene.
• Many proponents of anti-abortion legislatioo have only one. avenue
leftforthem to pursue, which would be a constitutional amendment. It
would seem doubtful that this course of action will be followed.
. I personally was surprised and elated at the decision. Surprised
because the decision was reached by the Burger Court (which was
considered conservative), when suppression of individual freedoms
seems to be on the decline. Elation inevitably followed with my
awareness of the far reaching effect the decision would have on the
Rights of Women in American society. It is hoped by this writer that
1973 be filled with constant reaffirmations of individual rights and
choices endowed by the Constitution.

Dear Sir:
I would be most appreciative
if
you would let me have a few lines
in The
l'irde
to express my
deepest thanks to all of those in
the Marist Community who
showed such genuine concern for
me when I suffered a heart attack
on the last day of class last
semester. I was astounded by the
number of cards, visitors, ex-
pressions of concern, and even
flowers and gifts from so many of
the students, administration,
staff, and faculty. A whole page
of this newspaper would not
permit sufficient space to list just
those of whom I am aware.
Thank you everyone, and
please forgive me for carrying a
lightened schedule of classes and
office hours during the coming
semester. You have no idea how
happy I am to be back so soon
wiqi all of you.
Sincerely,
George J. Sommer

.
Mr. James Britt has a dual role
at Marist.
As
well as teaching
C'>urses in the development of
speech and th_eatrical skills, Mr.
Britt is one of the two directors of
the Marist Co}\ege Theatre Guild,
the other director • being . Dr.
Jeptha Lanning, Chairman of the
English Department. While his
classes are novel in their ap-
proach and also fulfill the
required
study
in speech
production, his defense lies in his
work with the Theatre Guild. Mr.
Britt's technical skill in the
theatre
is unparalleled
on
campus. The past successes of
productions under his direction
·are
proof
enough
of his
capabilities.
Those connected with the Guild .
know the almost impossible task
of directing a play at. Marist.
Limited facilities and funds place
a huge burden on the shoulders of
the director. No o~e can imagine
Champagnat Hall caused by
decreased registrations. Neither
can one question the desireable
impact that a successful per-
formance of the Guild has on the
i
Poughkeepsie area. Also, even
though the Childrens Theatre will
not be touring this year due to the
Student Government's cut in
funding their performances
reach
several
thousand
prospective students throughout
the Hudson Valley, and in
previous years, thr~>Ughout
the
East coast region. Without Mr.
Britt. the outlook for a successful
theatre season is hopelessly
grim, as well as the possibility for
free area publicity and a gC>od
image for Marist College in the
eyes of many potential students.
Like Casper, Mr. Britt has the_
rare ability to draw from
students feelings and skills. that
would normally remain hidden
and unused. Marist College
cannot afford to los~ . two such
talented
instructors.
As . a
solution, I suggest that these two
men either be made
full
time
instructors, or that. they remain
salaried
at
their
present
positions. The students ·or the
English Department must not
allow these two gentlemen to
be
dropped. Therefore, I urge tha~
before the removal of Mr. ·easper
and
Mr.
Britt
becomes
irrevocable the ·opinions of
theEnglfsh majors be heard and
respectfully considered. I also
urge that in any case of faculty
removal, the students of the
department involved be con-
sulted. For indeed,
if
the students.
are to benefit from their at-
tendance at Marist, the College
must be responsive to the needs
and desires of the students in all
matters. In this way, perhaps
such crass illustrations of dollar
logic can be avoided.
Sincerely,
Kevin Laffin

Dear Mrs. Fisher and· friends of
Art,
Having spent my third school
year in England I was originally
deprived of the privilege of
witnessin~. the rebirth of the
Marist Coliege Campus. Much to
my dismay, as I boarded my
Boeing for the beaches of Britain,
I left Marist behind with the
rather dull opinion that it was a
quaint little college, bordered by
boring trees, carpeted
with
common grass, and adorned with
the unsightly natural phenomena
so typical of a small college
setting. After all, in this day and
age one comes to expect more
than simply natural scenery in
the way of decoration. To my
grateful surprise, however, my
return was celebrated by the
birth of a new and scintillating
Marist College. No longer were
my eyes insulted by com-
monplace green .. Never again
would I be forced to walk among
awkward trees· and bushes with
the same monotonous color
patterns as the ground they stood
upon. At last my need for iden-
. tification with my environment
could climb out of the dense
forest _that was its· cage into the
sunshine of an ·aesthetic dawn ..
Now as I pace. the • previously
tedious steps between Cham-
pagnat and Donnelly I simply
gaze to my left where I view a
giant mammary-shaped bubble
that reminds me of universal
motherhood and of fat people in
striped shirts, and I can identify •
with the strife. of human
existence, the anguish of the
overweight,
the
pangs
of
pregnancy. A little further down
the same sentient • street I can
• find deeper communication with
my fellow man
by
glancing at a
... mnstruction of what appears to .
be spigot and faucets, but what
symbolically represents thirst;
the thirst for knowledge in all
men, the thirst of those who know
·nothing but salty foods, and thl:l
thirst for a better understanding
of conglamorated spigots and
faucets. And before I reach the
end of my journey my eyes fall
• once again to the left where I am
]!let by the formidable shape of a
giant· wish :bone, expressing our
idealistic desires to better the
real
world,
and
perhaps
biblically
representative
of
David's slingshot,. aimed toward
the business office, the world of
economic. reality, which is in
Marxian terms the source of
human bondage. I am . grateful
. , that! now can see myself.and my
fellow man in my surroundings~
• Through your select choice of
natural coloring I can feel warm
.and secure in an environment
that is no longer hostile to me. I
feel . I owe you and your
masterpieces a debt that is best
expressable in the language of .
. rhyme.

Six Attend Drug Education
Program At Adelphi
WHY B UYTOOTHP
ASTE AND MOUTHWASH?
New York, N.Y. (AFS)
-As
a result of a survey of more than
500 commercial tooth pastes, powders and mouthwashes, the
American Dental Association
(ADA)
has concluded that for the
average
person the most suitable inexpensive dentifrice is
probably baking
soda
(sodhnn bicarbonate), and the most
suitable
mouthwash
is
water with a little baking soda
m
it.
A
few
dentifrices
contain
sugar, the ADA
says, and
many
contain
phosphates.
If
stains
accumulate on the
teeth despite
the use of baking
soda, a commercial
dentifrice
can be
used
occasionally.
The ADA rated
21
popular
dentifrices
on the
basis
of their
abrasiveness in
wearing away tooth
enamel:
Plus White
and
Vote were among
the worst
offenders,
Llsterine and
Pepsodent
among the safest.
As
to mouthwashes,
it said it
"does not
presently
recognize
rmy
substantial contribution to oral health in the unsupervised
use of medicated mouthwashes by the general public. Even
claims that mouthwashes overcome mouth odors should be
viewed with some reserve .. Breath odors may result
from poor
oral hygiene, or oral or systemic disease which may be a serious
concern."

"I
am willing to attend a two-
week
preliminary
training
session and to work in my
community with other members
of the team to develop preventive
drug education programs when I
return".
With these
words,
Fred
Lambert, Brian Donnelly, Bob
Sammon, James Keegan; Gerald
Hooks and Joseph Molinaro have
agreed to take part in Drug
Education Workshop which will
take place from January
22
to
February
2, 1973,
at the New
York Institute of Technology. The
workshop is made possible
through a•mini-grant awarded to
Marist College last spring and the
program is conducted under the
auspices of Adelphi University.
There are two chief concerns in
working
with
a
student
population today in the area of
drug use: the education of the
non-user and the occasional user,
and the 131:k of credibility in
dealing with the regular user.
There arc rumors and myths
clouding many of the drugs that
are around these days. The
peop]e involved in the workshop
will
be gathering knowledge with
the purpose of receiving accurate
drug information, i.e., psycho-
social and legal aspects pf drug
abuse and effective treatment,
rehabilitation
and preventive
programs analyzing attitues,
values
and feeling, which may
relate to the
_pr~blem
~!
~ug.
abuse:
developing ett~cti.e
community teams through the
use of innovative communication
techniques and smaH group
training, and finally, developing
skills and techniques for use in
program planning, identifying
and utilizing resources initiating
community action programs.
They will be involved in lectures
and group dynamic sessions with
the goal of becoming viable
resources for drug-education
within the Marist community and
the Poughkeepsie community as
well.
A definite need is felt these
days for an up-to-date knowledge
in the fie]d of drng use. With such
statistics being quoted as
50
p !rcent of college students using
"soft drugs",
20
percent. am-
phetamines and I,,SD users, ~nd a
minimal number of people in-
volved with hard drugs, this need
is evidenced more and more.
Hopefully, this workshop will
equip these six people with the
facts and knowledge• that is
within Marist College. Another
avenue that can.
be
taken to best
use this knowledge will be when
the six team members move out
of the Marist College circle and
expanding their programs to
include Poughkeepsie, for in-
formative
drug-education
sessions geared towards the high
school level. Their efforts would
hopefully make a significant
impact on incidents of drug use
and reduction in the
use
of drugs
for those who are now involved.
The training program lasts for
two weeks. During these days,
Lambert Donnelly, Sammon,
Molinaro, Keegan and Hooks will
be involved in many facets of the
drug-education
program.
Whether or not the program is a
success can only be determined
•
after the two week program is
finished, and the participants can

Why
On To Washington?
. By Artie Turkington
In writing this article I am trying to convey the seriousness and
sincerity of a group of people who went
lo
Washington to voice their
views only to find deaf ears. During Christmas vacation the most
devastating bombing in history took place in North Vietnam. How long
can people sit back and let thousands of human beings die while one
man in the White House plays his little games in the belief that he is a
god and cannot be questioned.
For this reason a group of Marist students organized to go to
Washington and be heard. Thinking that our views were shared by
many, meetings were held to make arrangements to go to Washington.
It was a bit disillusioni1,g however to only see about sixty people out of
some eight hundred on campus show up and show some concern. I can
say however that at least the people who did show up were truly
concerned and serious in their intent and that those who were not
willing to goto Washington themselves gave us financial support.
The largest group from Marist, consist;ng of forty one people on a
chartered bus, arrived in Washington around six o'clock Saturday
morning, Coronation day. Being apprehensive as to how many people
to expect in Washington we waited all morning on the steps of the
Lincoln Memorial and by ten o'clock some of us were becoming rather
depressed over the fact that there were only a few thousand people
present. On hearing that the march would not start till one o'clock we
took off for a while to have some coffee. When we returned for the
march a welcome sight greeted us. Out of nowhere tens of thousands of
people had arrived and a spirit of joy and hope was once again instilled
in us. It was hard to get any idea as to how many people there real!)
were until we reached the Washington Monumef1t where the march
ended. To see a hundred thousand people gathered around to show tha1
they cared about the lives of others was truly
a
remarkable sight
fo;.
those present; but. as we were to find out later it was something tha:
went virtually unnoticed by anyone outside ourselves. After hearing
various speakers talk about the injustices being done not only to the
Vietnamese but to people throughout the world and within our own
country. we began our trip home to Marist feeling that we were suc-
cessful
in
having
a
peaceful demonstration which could not possible
go unheard. We made it back just in time to see the eleven o'clock
news and watch our efforts fly out the window. As opposed to Nixon's
coronation. attended by 15,000 people, our demonstration of 100,000
received barely a mention except for a few instances of violence. What
was it all for? To look around and see people who were filled with hope
and enthusiasm just moments before sitting in disbelief and shock was
heartbreaking. How could _this be possible? Maybe the threat of
monopoly suits. against the networks was enough to cause them to
:ignore us. In that case it seems that Nixon has truly been successful in
stiffling any semblance of the rights.granted under the first amend
0
merit and it' seems we might soon witness Nixon's dream. of
programmed news and television.
So where to. now? It is hard to recover from such a blow but we
cannot give -up now. If a 100,,000 people aren't enough to gain
' recognition maybe
300,000
or even more are. In the near future con-
cerned Marist students will be organizing to be ready to reacte and to
protest to Nixon's against his lies and deception. We need your help ...

Is This Wrestling's Last Year?
By Ed O'Connell
Dedication and self sacrifice
are two qualities that wrestlers
can attribute more than anything
else to their success as athletes.
After this season, it appears that
wrestlers
won't
attribute
anything to. their success
_
as
athletes at Marist. For it may be
the time when wrestling may
finally be pinned as ari In-
'
tercollegiate spert here.
Surprisingly, the reason is not
financial. The budget has not
been cut and new equipment is
constantly being added. But.
Currently there ~e only six
members on the team.
Three
of
them are seniors. So what does
that leave.for next year. Silllple,
_
no team. The six memberi; are
dedicated wrestlers. Also. they
are dedicated to keeping the
sport alive.
It
could be done.
"Right now," according
.
to
John Redmond
•
and Lance Lip-
•
scomb,
"there
is enough pure
wrestling talent in this school_
to
fill the roster. There are at least
twenty people who have com-
peted before.''. This year, fifteen
nien have quit the team since the

Shaping The
Shapeless
Into CommunitJ
By Fr. Leo Gallant
Anyone for tennis? In Texas? Dean Wade passed me a
brochure which might interest some seniors. "A new lay
volunteer organization has been created to strengthen the
.
struggling Catholic school system and boost CCD programs in
needy Texas parishes. Called Volunteers for· Educational
Services <VES> the group will place teachers, secretaries,
administrators in both Catholic schools and religious education
programs where parishes are unable to supply or pay their own.
Volunteers are asked to give two years in exchange for sixty
dollars a month, room and board, a round trip bus fare and paid
group health insurance. They'will live in a team situation with
group liturgy, prayer, inservice training, needed to maintain the
morale and effectiveness of numbers.
•
"Dedication includes being willing to spend more energy than
normally required by a job, being able to tolerate frustration,
.
wanting to establish a more intimate relationship with others
and with Christ. Interested persons may contact Archie Gress,
Coordinator of VES, Texas Catholic Conferences, 800 Brazos,
Room 702, Austin, Texas, 78701."
I would like very much
to
see graduates forget about making
money for a couple of years and go helpthe very poor in other
sections of the country. I would like to see young people loyal to
their Church help spread the message of Christ to the very poor
and uneducated. But how much more I would like to see this
done at home, in Poughkeepsie, in New York. Young people
would live in communes, receive token support and help build
community among the very poor, while living in a team
situation with group prayer and inservice training.
How I would like to see here at Marist more students "being
w:lling to spend more energy than normally required, being able
to tolerate frustration, wanting to establish a more intimate
relationship with others" in order to make Marist alive, a
com~unity of love where no one has a chance to be sad, lonely,
frustrated too long. And doing all this for nothing.
Maybe Joni Mitchell's "For Free' says so well what I'm trying
to say.

The Price
by Morna Moore
It
was
dusk. The celebration
.
was noisy with the laughter of the
guests. It was an out of door
gathering, by the riverside. Gay
colored lights sparkled all about.
,people
milled through the crowd,
looking • for excitement.· There
•
was one attraction in particular,
around which most of the guests
had gathered. It was very close
to
the riverside, on the grassy hill
that gently sloped down
to
the
water. It consisted of a rope,
.
stretched above the ground and
·parallel
to the river. Beneath the
rope stood an old white haired
man. He was the caretaker of the
event. It was a contest. To enter,
one paid a fee. Then he hoisted
himselfupontothe rope and tried
to stand on it. When he had
pro:ven his ability to balance
himself, thenthe caretaker would
help him back
.
down to the
ground. Many men, mostly the
older men, were entering the·
contest.-
A

guests were watching wiU1 in-

one standing erect

and never
once faltering in his position. And
the old caretaker, who looked too
fragile to be in such
a
position,
also did admirably in helping the
men down - letting them step to

his shoulders before going down
to the ground. It was not as ex-

an

event as it had
promised to be and
.
the people
began to grow weary of it. As the
older ones left, the youngsters
were allowed to play at it. One
young boy seemed most eager.
He payed his fee and then stepped
up to the rope. He hoisted himself
up, but just as he was about to
stand, he fell. He fell onto the soft
grass, so he was not bodily hurt .
But his soul was.<:!rus4ed
.• People
stood about and criticized him for
having failed. He did not know
what to do.
A
kind· woman who
had observed tbe affair walked
over to him. She wished to
comfort him. She helped him up
from the ground and said to him
and the hecklers, "It is no
disgrace fall. Many people are
not able to stand upon the rope."
•
She turned
to
the boy, "You may
try again." Now the boy, who had
begun to feel less sad, began to
cry. "I have no more money to
pay the fee," he said. The woman
looked at him, and with a wide
smile on her face she said, ''You
only have to pay once. For that
price you are allowed to try as
many
.times
as

of things about s_tudent recor<:}s,
and to publish those findings in the

Thus I went
to Dean Wade's office. He

a]l the questions
and gave me more information on the subject. First of all, he noted
that any student may request to see his records· at any time; The
records are kept in the Dean of Students' office.

.
Secondly, it is important to realize that records are kept not only of
negative things, but also of positive achievements. All of these things
allow professional administrators to put each student into proper
perspective in dealing with him or her. The records are for intramural
use only, for assisting in development of the student
.

One of the most important things about these records, is the fact that
in order for any document to go into the records, the student must first
receive a copy of that document.

America has left its role as War-Maker and become a Peace-Maker.
Hopefully we will now go forward by re-directing the energies in-

the neglected problems and aspects of our Society, TODAY.

On Abortion
The Supreme Court (whose duties it is to uphold and interpret the
Constitution of the U.S.) voted 7
to
2
against most anti-abortion
statutes, finding that they were denying a woman her constitutional
rights. The Court stated that because theologians and scientists could
not agree on when life began all abortions were to remain a private
matter between a woman and a doctor before the sixth· month of
pregnancy. Anytime after the sixth. month the state may intervene.
• Many proponents of anti-abortion legislatioo have only one. avenue
leftforthem to pursue, which would be a constitutional amendment. It
would seem doubtful that this course of action will be followed.
. I personally was surprised and elated at the decision. Surprised
because the decision was reached by the Burger Court (which was
considered conservative), when suppression of individual freedoms
seems to be on the decline. Elation inevitably followed with my
awareness of the far reaching effect the decision would have on the
Rights of Women in American society. It is hoped by this writer that
1973 be filled with constant reaffirmations of individual rights and
choices endowed by the Constitution.

Dear Sir:
I would be most appreciative
if
you would let me have a few lines
in The
l'irde
to express my
deepest thanks to all of those in
the Marist Community who
showed such genuine concern for
me when I suffered a heart attack
on the last day of class last
semester. I was astounded by the
number of cards, visitors, ex-
pressions of concern, and even
flowers and gifts from so many of
the students, administration,
staff, and faculty. A whole page
of this newspaper would not
permit sufficient space to list just
those of whom I am aware.
Thank you everyone, and
please forgive me for carrying a
lightened schedule of classes and
office hours during the coming
semester. You have no idea how
happy I am to be back so soon
wiqi all of you.
Sincerely,
George J. Sommer

To the distress

Mr. James Britt has a dual role
at Marist.
As

C'>urses in the development of
speech and th_eatrical skills, Mr.
Britt is one of the two directors of
the Marist Co}\ege Theatre Guild,
the other director • being . Dr.
Jeptha Lanning, Chairman of the
English Department. While his
classes are novel in their ap-
proach and also fulfill the
required
study

production, his defense lies in his
work with the Theatre Guild. Mr.
Britt's technical skill in the
theatre
is unparalleled
on
campus. The past successes of
productions under his direction
·are
proof
enough
of his
capabilities.
Those connected with the Guild .
know the almost impossible task
of directing a play at. Marist.
Limited facilities and funds place
a huge burden on the shoulders of
the director. No o~e can imagine
Champagnat Hall caused by
decreased registrations. Neither
can one question the desireable
impact that a successful per-
formance of the Guild has on the
i
Poughkeepsie area. Also, even

East coast region. Without Mr.
Britt. the outlook for a successful
theatre season is hopelessly
grim, as well as the possibility for
free area publicity and a gC>od
image for Marist College in the
eyes of many potential students.
Like Casper, Mr. Britt has the_
rare ability to draw from
students feelings and skills. that
would normally remain hidden
and unused. Marist College
cannot afford to los~ . two such

instructors.
As . a
solution, I suggest that these two
men either be made

instructors, or that. they remain
salaried
at
their

positions. The students ·or the
English Department must not

respectfully considered. I also
urge that in any case of faculty
removal, the students of the
department involved be con-
sulted. For indeed,
if
the students.
are to benefit from their at-
tendance at Marist, the College
must be responsive to the needs
and desires of the students in all
matters. In this way, perhaps
such crass illustrations of dollar
logic can be avoided.
Sincerely,

Aesthetic
Art
Dear Mrs. Fisher and· friends of
Art,
Having spent my third school
year in England I was originally
deprived of the privilege of
witnessin~. the rebirth of the
Marist Coliege Campus. Much to
my dismay, as I boarded my
Boeing for the beaches of Britain,
I left Marist behind with the
rather dull opinion that it was a
quaint little college, bordered by
boring trees, carpeted
with
common grass, and adorned with
the unsightly natural phenomena
so typical of a small college
setting. After all, in this day and
age one comes to expect more
than simply natural scenery in
the way of decoration. To my
grateful surprise, however, my
return was celebrated by the
birth of a new and scintillating
Marist College. No longer were
my eyes insulted by com-
monplace green .. Never again
would I be forced to walk among
awkward trees· and bushes with
the same monotonous color
patterns as the ground they stood
upon. At last my need for iden-
. tification with my environment
could climb out of the dense
forest _that was its· cage into the
sunshine of an ·aesthetic dawn ..
Now as I pace. the • previously
tedious steps between Cham-
pagnat and Donnelly I simply
gaze to my left where I view a
giant mammary-shaped bubble
that reminds me of universal
motherhood and of fat people in
striped shirts, and I can identify •
with the strife. of human
existence, the anguish of the
overweight,
the
pangs
of
pregnancy. A little further down
the same sentient • street I can
• find deeper communication with
my fellow man
by
glancing at a
... mnstruction of what appears to .
be spigot and faucets, but what
symbolically represents thirst;
the thirst for knowledge in all
men, the thirst of those who know
·nothing but salty foods, and thl:l
thirst for a better understanding
of conglamorated spigots and
faucets. And before I reach the
end of my journey my eyes fall
• once again to the left where I am
]!let by the formidable shape of a
giant· wish :bone, expressing our
idealistic desires to better the
real
world,
and
perhaps
biblically
representative
of
David's slingshot,. aimed toward
the business office, the world of
economic. reality, which is in
Marxian terms the source of
human bondage. I am . grateful
. , that! now can see myself.and my
fellow man in my surroundings~
• Through your select choice of
natural coloring I can feel warm
.and secure in an environment
that is no longer hostile to me. I
feel . I owe you and your
masterpieces a debt that is best
expressable in the language of .
. rhyme.

Six Attend Drug Education
Program At Adelphi
WHY B UYTOOTHP
ASTE AND MOUTHWASH?
New York, N.Y. (AFS)
-As
a result of a survey of more than
500 commercial tooth pastes, powders and mouthwashes, the
American Dental Association
(ADA)
has concluded that for the
average
person the most suitable inexpensive dentifrice is
probably baking
soda
(sodhnn bicarbonate), and the most
suitable
mouthwash
is
water with a little baking soda
m
it.
A
few
dentifrices
contain
sugar, the ADA
says, and
many
contain
phosphates.
If
stains
accumulate on the
teeth despite
the use of baking
soda, a commercial
dentifrice
can be
used
occasionally.
The ADA rated
21
popular
dentifrices
on the
basis
of their
abrasiveness in
wearing away tooth
enamel:
Plus White
and
Vote were among
the worst
offenders,
Llsterine and
Pepsodent
among the safest.
As
to mouthwashes,
it said it
"does not
presently
recognize
rmy
substantial contribution to oral health in the unsupervised
use of medicated mouthwashes by the general public. Even
claims that mouthwashes overcome mouth odors should be
viewed with some reserve .. Breath odors may result
from poor
oral hygiene, or oral or systemic disease which may be a serious
concern."

"I
am willing to attend a two-
week
preliminary
training
session and to work in my
community with other members
of the team to develop preventive
drug education programs when I
return".
With these
words,
Fred
Lambert, Brian Donnelly, Bob
Sammon, James Keegan; Gerald
Hooks and Joseph Molinaro have
agreed to take part in Drug
Education Workshop which will
take place from January
22
to
February
2, 1973,
at the New
York Institute of Technology. The
workshop is made possible
through a•mini-grant awarded to
Marist College last spring and the
program is conducted under the
auspices of Adelphi University.
There are two chief concerns in
working
with
a
student
population today in the area of
drug use: the education of the
non-user and the occasional user,
and the 131:k of credibility in
dealing with the regular user.
There arc rumors and myths
clouding many of the drugs that
are around these days. The
peop]e involved in the workshop
will
be gathering knowledge with
the purpose of receiving accurate
drug information, i.e., psycho-
social and legal aspects pf drug
abuse and effective treatment,
rehabilitation
and preventive
programs analyzing attitues,
values
and feeling, which may
relate to the
_pr~blem
~!
~ug.
abuse:
developing ett~cti.e
community teams through the
use of innovative communication
techniques and smaH group
training, and finally, developing
skills and techniques for use in
program planning, identifying
and utilizing resources initiating
community action programs.
They will be involved in lectures
and group dynamic sessions with
the goal of becoming viable
resources for drug-education
within the Marist community and
the Poughkeepsie community as
well.
A definite need is felt these
days for an up-to-date knowledge
in the fie]d of drng use. With such
statistics being quoted as
50
p !rcent of college students using
"soft drugs",
20
percent. am-
phetamines and I,,SD users, ~nd a
minimal number of people in-
volved with hard drugs, this need
is evidenced more and more.
Hopefully, this workshop will
equip these six people with the
facts and knowledge• that is
within Marist College. Another
avenue that can.
be
taken to best
use this knowledge will be when
the six team members move out
of the Marist College circle and
expanding their programs to
include Poughkeepsie, for in-
formative
drug-education
sessions geared towards the high
school level. Their efforts would
hopefully make a significant
impact on incidents of drug use
and reduction in the
use
of drugs
for those who are now involved.
The training program lasts for
two weeks. During these days,
Lambert Donnelly, Sammon,
Molinaro, Keegan and Hooks will
be involved in many facets of the
drug-education
program.
Whether or not the program is a
success can only be determined

after the two week program is
finished, and the participants can

Why
On To Washington?
. By Artie Turkington
In writing this article I am trying to convey the seriousness and
sincerity of a group of people who went
lo
Washington to voice their
views only to find deaf ears. During Christmas vacation the most
devastating bombing in history took place in North Vietnam. How long
can people sit back and let thousands of human beings die while one
man in the White House plays his little games in the belief that he is a
god and cannot be questioned.
For this reason a group of Marist students organized to go to
Washington and be heard. Thinking that our views were shared by
many, meetings were held to make arrangements to go to Washington.
It was a bit disillusioni1,g however to only see about sixty people out of
some eight hundred on campus show up and show some concern. I can
say however that at least the people who did show up were truly
concerned and serious in their intent and that those who were not
willing to goto Washington themselves gave us financial support.
The largest group from Marist, consist;ng of forty one people on a
chartered bus, arrived in Washington around six o'clock Saturday
morning, Coronation day. Being apprehensive as to how many people
to expect in Washington we waited all morning on the steps of the
Lincoln Memorial and by ten o'clock some of us were becoming rather
depressed over the fact that there were only a few thousand people
present. On hearing that the march would not start till one o'clock we
took off for a while to have some coffee. When we returned for the
march a welcome sight greeted us. Out of nowhere tens of thousands of
people had arrived and a spirit of joy and hope was once again instilled
in us. It was hard to get any idea as to how many people there real!)
were until we reached the Washington Monumef1t where the march
ended. To see a hundred thousand people gathered around to show tha1
they cared about the lives of others was truly
a
remarkable sight
fo;.
those present; but. as we were to find out later it was something tha:
went virtually unnoticed by anyone outside ourselves. After hearing
various speakers talk about the injustices being done not only to the
Vietnamese but to people throughout the world and within our own
country. we began our trip home to Marist feeling that we were suc-
cessful
in
having
a
peaceful demonstration which could not possible
go unheard. We made it back just in time to see the eleven o'clock
news and watch our efforts fly out the window. As opposed to Nixon's
coronation. attended by 15,000 people, our demonstration of 100,000
received barely a mention except for a few instances of violence. What
was it all for? To look around and see people who were filled with hope
and enthusiasm just moments before sitting in disbelief and shock was
heartbreaking. How could _this be possible? Maybe the threat of
monopoly suits. against the networks was enough to cause them to
:ignore us. In that case it seems that Nixon has truly been successful in
stiffling any semblance of the rights.granted under the first amend
0
merit and it' seems we might soon witness Nixon's dream. of
programmed news and television.
So where to. now? It is hard to recover from such a blow but we
cannot give -up now. If a 100,,000 people aren't enough to gain
' recognition maybe
300,000
or even more are. In the near future con-
cerned Marist students will be organizing to be ready to reacte and to
protest to Nixon's against his lies and deception. We need your help ...

Is This Wrestling's Last Year?
By Ed O'Connell
Dedication and self sacrifice
are two qualities that wrestlers
can attribute more than anything
else to their success as athletes.
After this season, it appears that
wrestlers
won't
attribute
anything to. their success
_
as
athletes at Marist. For it may be
the time when wrestling may
finally be pinned as ari In-
'
tercollegiate spert here.
Surprisingly, the reason is not
financial. The budget has not
been cut and new equipment is
constantly being added. But.
Currently there ~e only six
members on the team.
Three
of
them are seniors. So what does
that leave.for next year. Silllple,
_
no team. The six memberi; are
dedicated wrestlers. Also. they
are dedicated to keeping the
sport alive.
It
could be done.
"Right now," according
.
to
John Redmond
•
and Lance Lip-
•
scomb,
"there
is enough pure
wrestling talent in this school_
to
fill the roster. There are at least
twenty people who have com-
peted before.''. This year, fifteen
nien have quit the team since the
1
beginning of, the year and Pat
Iavelle was knocked off by a knee
injury. Why they leave is hard to
determine.
Why
others don't joh~
