Energy
Crisis
Marist is suffering from the fuel shortage along with the rest of the
nation. The forecast for the winter is not pleasant. We must conserve
or go without.
What does the fuel shortage mean to Marist, though? It means that
we must deny ourselves some of the creature comforts that we have
taken for granted all of our lives. Taking a drive is no longer a good
way to pass the time, now it stands to become a luxury. To see the
dormitories ablaze with lights is no longer a sight to be joked at.
It
is
a
memorial of our indescriminate waste of electricity.
Presently, we are merely uncomfot~ble walking in our dimmed
halls with sweaters on. The situation may become more acute. The
measures recommended by the Interdorm Council are good in theory.
However, it takes the concerted efforts of all to save.
The Circle does not advocate the closing of the college for an ad-
ditional four weeks, but it will take judicious use of energy by
everyone to prevent it. Before you turn anything on, think. Do you
really need three lights to locate a pencil?
Class
Of
'77
To the Editor:
Plans for an eventful second
semester have already been
begun by the freshman class of
1977. Under class officers Joseph
Aiello
(president),
• Robert
Morley (vice president), Rodney
Lemon (treasurer), and Fran
Fulling (secretary), committees
to work on the class constitution,
class senate, social events, and
cars-on-campus
have
been
established.
The class constitution is of
primary importance, and the
officers hope that a constitution
can be presented to the class for
ratification
immediately
following the semester break. Of
special significance in the con-
NYU
Conference
TO: Marist College
Your NewsPaper
On the weekend of November
17th, there occurred at New York
University a conference on
racism and the university. The
conference was called in order to
discuss the increasing attention
being paid to the "scientific"
racism flowing from the work of
people like Jensen, Herrnstein,
Eysenck, Shockley, Moynih~,
. and Banfield. About fifteen
workshops were held on topics
such as "IQ and Genetics" and
"Racism and Public Education."
The Circle is, by definition, the newspaper of the Marist College
community. Yet, without the writers from the Introduction to Jour-
nalism class, this semester the Circle would have been reduced to
printing a four page paper each week, or nothing at all, for sheer lack ·
of material and correspondents.
The result is that we must plead guilty to the charge that we
represent only a small segment of the college. It is not by choice. The
college newspaper is available to all members of the community, not
only as a bulletin board to announ~e com_ing
.eve?ts, but to· voice
opinions, to make comments or to bnng an mterestmg feature of the
school to the attention of the entire college.
In this the last issue of the fall semester, the editors would like to
commend the people who have contributed to the newspaper and those
who have helped through their constructive criticism. It has been said
before but it must unfortunately be said once more.
If
the college

the mechanical aspects of the paper. We need writers, we need people
skilled in layout and headline writing, as well as typists and
proofreaders.
If
the Circle is to achieve the status of b~ing ti:uly
representative of Marist College, more people must contribute time
and effort.
•
•
This is a plea -
if
we are to continue to move forward, we need help.
If
there is to be a newspaper in the future of the college, the
cam-
munity must contribute.

Becomes Electra."
I bit my tongue when Dr.
Lanning first told me of his and
the Theatre Guild's choice of this
massive and demanding classic
of this modern repertory. Given
the limited time and resources of
all involved, but especiallythat of
Dr. Lanning and the lead actors,
and given the size of the play, one
could only fairly have expected a
competent performance. But the

than that.

One of the major concerns of the
participants was the question of
what can be done to challenge the
claim made by these men that
their research is "scientific". A
second major concern was to
demonstrate the sociohistorical
significance of the increasing
propagation of ideas such as
"J ensenism." Finally, there was
general agreement that racism,
in whatever form it might take,
must be combatted .
To struggle towards these ends,
committees against racism have

• There is a definite problem for
the physically active women at
Marist; right now it is a lack of
facilities. This problem.is critical
during the winter months when
outdoor sports are hampered by
the weather; , The gym is either
being used by th~ J.V. or Varsity
basketball teams in the af-
ternoon, or intramur;:il games in
the evening, when ' nothing is
scheduled at the gym it is usually
full of guys playing pick-up
games on every court. How does
a woman get to play? Call win-
ners of shoot for sides? The
problem is a real one for the girls
at Marist. Even though they can
join intramurals, the most they
get to play is one hour a week,
which is hardly enough exercise
for a young woman. -_

Your NewsPaper
On the weekend of November
17th, there occurred at New York
University a conference on
racism and the university. The
conference was called in order to
discuss the increasing attention
being paid to the "scientific"
racism flowing from the work of
people like Jensen, Herrnstein,
Eysenck, Shockley, Moynih~,
. and Banfield. About fifteen
workshops were held on topics
such as "IQ and Genetics" and
"Racism and Public Education."
The Circle is, by definition, the newspaper of the Marist College
community. Yet, without the writers from the Introduction to Jour-
nalism class, this semester the Circle would have been reduced to
printing a four page paper each week, or nothing at all, for sheer lack ·
of material and correspondents.
The result is that we must plead guilty to the charge that we
represent only a small segment of the college. It is not by choice. The
college newspaper is available to all members of the community, not
only as a bulletin board to announ~e com_ing
.eve?ts, but to· voice
opinions, to make comments or to bnng an mterestmg feature of the
school to the attention of the entire college.
