Mr.Lewis
Brooklyn, New York has sent
Marist a new English teacher
in
the
person of Mr
.-
Robert Lewis.
His
.
high school education was obtained at
St. Augustine's in Brooklyn.
From
high
school Mr. Lewis went to Man-
hattan College on a New York State Re-
gents Scholarship.
While
·
at Manhat-
tan he was editor of the yearbook in
his junior year. After graduation with
a B. A.
in
·
English, his next step was
to enter Columbia University where he
majored in Contemporary Literature,
and was awarded an
-
M.A. in English.
His Master• s thesis
·
was· on Robert
Lowell, a cont
_
emporary American poet.
When asked his opinion of Marist,
Mr. Lewis
·
commer.ited that 'he felt
thP
campus had an open
ana
mdustnous at-
mosphere that was
:
quite stimulating.
.
He also said that he appreciated all the
.
help
.
that
·
had been given
Jum
by. the
faculty
with his many problems since
this was his first real teaching assign-
ment.
Besides being a vroctor on the
sixth floor or Leo Haµ]., Mr. Lewis also
teaches several courses;

He has two
freshman courses, Composition and
Introduction to Literature and a major
.
English course, Contemporary English
aad
_
.
American Literature.
Mr. White
A new
.
member of the increasing
nucleus of faculty members at Marist
is Mr. John G. White, a native of
Brooklyn, New York.
After complet-
ing his secondary education, he enrol-
led at Belmont Abbey College, North
Carolina where he received
·
his B. A.
in History. He then served his country
for a period of "Five years, one month
and eleven days" as
a
member of the
U. S. Navy.
He held the ranks of
.
Hospital Corpman, Navigator Bombar-
• dier, Ensign, and in
1958
was assigned
to the Lexingtc,n VAH Squadron
6
as
;
Lieutenant, J. G.
Shortly after his term in the
Armed Forces, he pursued the further-
ine of his education at Fordham Univer-
sity, where in
1961
he was awarded his
M.A. in History. Mr. White hopes to
.
obtain his Ph.D. by next year, and is
currenUy writing a thesis about Seventh
Ce,ntury Monastic History.
·rn
reference to Marist, he is very
impressed by th.e intellectual respon-
siveness
of
the student body,
.
which he
feels stems from the better interchange
·
of ideas among them. This he claims
'
is
a
definite advantage Marist has,
coming from an environment of small
college life himself. Its campus
is
a
;
reflection of the students who occupy
:
To begin the

Dear Edi tor:
THE RECORD·
Editor: George Hallam
Asst. Editor: Ger~armion
Moderator: Dr. Geordie SommP.r
Yesterday two of my friends and I were talking about
our school and we came to one question which we were_ unable
to answer. Since you ere the editor,
we ere
asking-you.
Ur. F.oitor, is there a student Council?
Of course I said there is a student Cb~il,.._ They, how-
ever, pointed out that the regular meeting.that was schedu~ed
for SUnday October 6th had to be cancelleq,-_because there wes·
not a q_uorum. They said that
at
5:30 FM (,fthat •s what,<:time ·
the poster said the meeting would be ) the only peo:lll~ at
Adrian Lounge ( that's where the poster said the meeting
would be) were that kind man
Mr.
Donald nolleri and also
Messrs. m.1rphy, Sheehan, Morrissey and Townsend which of·
course was not enough to have a meeting, so i t was ?_???.????
Again, my friends pointed out, there was a poster call-
ing a special meeting for SUnday October 13th, also at Adrian
LOunge, but this time at 7:30
PM:.
However, when my friends
appeared for this meeting all they found was that same kind,
patient and understanding man - Mr. Itolleri - but this time
he was joined by Messrs. Verrico, O'Neill and Barisonek
( that•s right, the missing ones :from the 6th). Needless to
say once again there were not enough to have a meeting, so i t
was????????
Now I WOI,Ild not bother you, Mr. Editor, but my friends
insist that this is what happened and I just cannot, no sir
I just cannot believe this. My friends tell me that the
student Council has yet to act on the Allocations ( ·that's
the money, that is ) and we all knov, thet our student council.
wouJ.d not do such a thing as that, would they sir?
So Mr. Editor will you please tell my friends and I, that
ther~ is a student Council. There is, isn't there?
William Treanor
Dear W-illiam,
Yes, there is a Student Council.
So .far Mr. Rolleri,
our president has been very patient with the laxidacical
attitude o.f some o.f our council members.
Lets hope that
sometime soon in the future his patience is not tried again
and that we have a Student Council.meeting.
It's true that
they have not acted on Allocations and many of the clubs
such as the Reynard and the Record are beginning to feel
that there isn't a Student Council.
·
I know that l-lr. Rolleri will continue his nne efforts
towards having a first meeting·of the Student Council on
illocations.
Let's hope that somehow Messrs. Murphy,
;;heai1an, · ..
orr1.ssey, ·rownshend, Verrico, 0 'Neill and Barisonek
.t11i<i
it-,ithin" tneir power ·-co atten<.t'-·a·weeting of the Student
Council all at the same time.
I nope this is not too much
to a,k of responsible college.students.

.The Plebiscite
by
_Cbe.rlee <uaidy
Everyone will recognize the impor-
tance of the spoken or written word in
our society. As a means of communi-
cation it surpasses any other_ devised
by man. The written word as Words-
worth once put it; "is man speaking to
man". The history of humanity bears
witness to the fact that the written word
has shapped and molded cultures, erec-
ted and toppled governments, and in
general determined the destiny of man.
In
the wrong hands it has become at
times a vicious tool to enslave and
terrorize a populace. , In "the hands of
men of conscience it has served a higher
purpose, elevating mankind from the
muck and slime of a primordial exist-
ence to a position of nobility and godli-
ness. Today:we face a problem much
like that of the crisis-patriot who stirs
from the dusty cobwebs of a living room
chair only in time to meet his own· per-
,;;onal emergency. This world condition
has ·become cine "or··rn:c1ifretence to
times, people, and events and which
incidentally is reflected in the lack of
"response by the individual.to the world.
' around him through . appointed organs
of communication. Suchaproblem con-
fronts us at Marist.
For three years the Literary Club
of Marist has served as an outlet of
expression for students. Entitled The
Mosaic, the publication has served
asa
mirror of the thoughts of our students
and indirectly a picture of active minds
exploring the past and future for those
outside the campus.
This year· the
Literary· Club once again opens its
doors to those students wishing to
communicate to . others outside their
own sphere. Wi~ student cooperation
the club is focusing upon the publica-_
tion of two "Mosaics" and,
if
the mate-
rial warrants, : the. insti.tution of the
original conception· of the magazine on
a quarterly basis.
_ The objectives of this club can be
realized by only one means -- student
cooperation. The problems faced by
the Literary Club have been reduced
to one and that is outlined · at the be-
ginning of this .article, inactivity. To
survive · as an active and potent voice
of the student body of _Marist we must
have contributions, not from.the ·fellow
sitting riext to you but from you. We
therefore ask for contributions in the
form of short stories, poetry, and
essays covering a multitude of subjects.
Such material can -be delivered to the
club by presenting it to Brothers James
Heaney and William Cowie, or to Mr.
Charles Cassidy, or by submitting it
directly to the English Department.
. Your response will form the answer to
the following plebiscite: Shall the Liter_-
ary Club die at the hands of_ an indiffe-
rent Stl,\d~nt body: or shall j.t_ b"e a. re:
·mnt.

·The · Metro (subway) stations are
Pl\Ofitable places for these people to
be;-·as well as at the doors of churches.
But they are not limited to these places,
A sidewalk along the Seine is even better
for some types'..

·
The poor· of Paris can be broken
down roughly into five classes. First,
there are the religious. . These are
mostly Sisters who beg by the churches.
Then there are _the blind and the lame
who can be broken down further into
two· classes, the workers and the non-
workers. The workers are those who
offer you something in return for a
coin. Some of them sing. but most of
them play~accordian. The non-work-
ers are either the very old or the very
lazy; These just stand;.there allowirtg

With wine being as important and as
cheap as it is here, there are many of
these.
·
The last class is that of the starv--
ine artist.
Truly,
there are many
people with talent here, so many in
fact, that they
all
can•t· make a goc.·of
it. The artists are the Seine-eiders.
Find a nice day, arid along the Seine
you will find these people with their
paints, or in some cases, with their
chalk. The chalkers are the,. beggars.
They mark off a block on the walk. but
a cup or a hat next to it to collect the
tips, and they are set for the day. There
are many fine things done this way - too
bad they can't be picked up and sold.
There is a song in The States called
"The Poor People of Paris.

I have
yet to hear it here, but as I remember ·
ititis rather on the lively side. At any
rate it is a lot more lively and much
happier than the unique and · colorful
. breed of people"tkat it honors.

The Return of

isi·
tor
Marist College is shuddering at
the return of "The Visitor." She--our
illustrious Madame Claire Zachanass-
ian, has returned to our campus, but
with a noticeable decline in her rage
.arid revengeful attitude.
In
fact the attitude of Carol Dzui-
pan, alias Madame Zachanassian, has
changed so much that she has been
"chosen to play the role of Emilie Duco-
te!, a comic character in the. Theatre
Guild's production this fall.
I think that we will all agree that
it
is interesting to see how human
nature changes.
An
excellent way to
obse:rve these changes is to enter a
stranger• s
house and observe
the
family. This is fine for an angel, but
it is quite unacceptable for humans.
