GRDUNDBREAKING
CEREMONY
by
Ted
Flynn
The groundbreaiting we witnessed
tJ:'hursday was the dedication not
so
much
of a building, though it is this,
but of a
man,
bis
work, and his dream;
. The
man
is the Marist priest, Father
Marcellin Champagnat born:near Lyons,
·France, in 1789 and raised during the
French Revolution and Napoleanic. Era
iin
France. His work is the. inception
of
a community of men committed to
the Christian education
of
youth, a
group whose life and work were to have
· a
special relevance to th~ needs of a
persecuted and suppressed Christianity.
.For many years, Father Champagnat :
'observed and lamented the condition of
'Christianity,
plagues by ignorance,
superstition, and indifference. but he
could not 'decide in which direction to
channel
his
energies. History tells us
•that a mountainside encounter with a
;dying
boy who did not even know of the
existence of God, convinced Father
Champagnat that the most ~portant
task for him was to _ed.ucate ,the young,
.the future leaders of the Church. The
community he founded to urltiate this
'task has since become known to the·
world as the Marist Brothers of the
Schools.
·The dream of Father Champagnat .
was the eventual propagation of his
community., its message andlivingwit-
ness, to every nation and people. To-
day, this dream is fulfilled in your
sight. This groundbreaking ceremony
. of Chainpagnat Hall signifies 10,000
Marist Brothers continuing Father
.Champagriat•s work in 57 countries
throughout the world.
After an introduction by the Master
of Ceremonies, Dr. John Schroeder,
Dean of the Evening Division, there
was the Invocation given by Rt. Rev.
Msgr. Leo J. Gregg, Dean of Clergy
of Dutchess and Putnam counties.

Critics of our society have been saying, for several y~ars, that Ameri-:
cans, and every country they influence, are grossly conformity oriented. Each
one has shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that man feels an innate desire to
.
identify hims.elf with a mode of life, a
.
political
party,
,a manner of dress, a
philosophy, and above all to conform to the mores of
an
economic level
·
slightly above him. These same critics also attack the college student for
wearing khakis; sneakers (socks optional); having short hair, usually parted
and combed to the side; donning striped, short sleeved, shirts; driving a
sports car; and smoking a pipe that often looks like
a
blemish on his face,
He, the student, wholeheartedly supports the most radical political party
which, in recent years, has been conservative; is willing to condemn the
long upheld tenets of society, often refuses
·
to obey authority, k_eeps horrible
hours, consumes far too much alcohol, and would have made a
\,~ry
imposing
trophy above Freud's mantle.
·
"Welcome to the Museum of Stuffed Students. On your left we have the
Yale exhibit. Notice the tie rakishly cast over his shoulder, the large black
glasses resting half-way down his thin nose, and the myopic, bloodshot eyes,
peering from behind the smoke screen sent up by the extra
limb
protruding
from his mouth. Here ladies and gentlemen, is the universal college student.
Fear him. "
It
would seem out of place if that Do Not Feed Wild Life sign
were not covering the front of his Genuine India Madras sports jacket.
While this paroqy is perhaps far-fetched, it still produces what seems to
be a consensus of a gr-eat many of our pseudo-sociologists. They feel that:
(1 )
.
the college student is potentially dangerous; (2) those who do not like Madras
Barry, Brown loafers, Briar, Booze, Broads, and Big Business should re-
ceive some recognition for non-conformity beyond
.
the call cif duty; and (3) they
must avoid any contact with college thought and when confronted by it must be
·
indifferent. Yet they do play upon the college mind for the sale of products.
We have increal\leq sales of Viceroy and Marlboro, nominated Barry Goldwater,
expanded college fashions into a booming industry, and made Burt and Harry,
Shultz and Dooley very·happy indeed.
All
.
this we have accomplished by sheer
numbers. Does that not
·
in itself demonstrate that we, the college students,
are thinking for ourselves. We have m~aged to have our own story printed in
-
almost every major publication
.
in Amer~·ca, each year. A whole survey was
devoted to determine our sex life and se>c linked factors, such as drinking
habits and ideas
·
of beauty. If every college student was to associate himself
with the Civil Rights Movement; the pr<,grain would have to be changed to
-
eliminate the derogotony connotations ~cquired because of our
.
contact. This
is the power we wield. This is the evil of college. So say the critics.
. ·
Yet, we are
in
coll~ge to learn. Some would disagree and say we are
here to increase our financial success after graduation. However, they can-
not rEJfute the fact that some knowledge must be attained in order to receive
a diploma. Therefore, the college students are the embryonic intelligentia.
It
is from this embryo that the thinking of the future world will be formed.
The critics, these pseudo-sociologists, are placing too much emphasis upon
the externals. They are generalizing too much when they say colleges sup-
port a radical
·political
policy. All students dress the same and this dress
does necessarily influence .the so'-called regimented thinking as much as the
critics would have us believe. The
_fact
that we tend to question the tenets of
society; the established norms of behavior, does not stem from an external
source. Rather, it comes from within the thinking student. It rises natural
-
ly from his position as a junior partner in the Intelligentia Co. He places him-
self outside society and looks inward instead of around. His comments are
sometimes radical, sometimes meaningless, but he does investigate. This is
what our country needs, a true spirit, a real ideal. So to the critics of the
college student we say, that externals, while holding a
minimuµi
importance
are riot the heart of college life. We are the ones who will make or break this
world. We now have a feeling of pride
in
the institution we attend and the way

fUE: RECORD
Swallow
Your
by Brenda Breadsticks
For the first time in a number of
decades the people of the United States
are to be given a definite choice in the
selection of the President. The domina-
tion of liberal policy has been threaten-
ed by a conservative upsurge on the
national level. The incumbent Demo-
crats are resting their hopes on Lyn-
don Baines Johnson and Hubert Hump-
hrey, while the Republicans are foster-
ing theirs in the candidacy of Barry
Goldwater and William Miller. In the
interest of fair play, the political candi-
dates will be assessed in a carefulper-
spective for any of the Marist College
faculty or students who remain unalign-
ed to a national candidate. In conclu-
sion, we will endorse the more worthy
candidates, not as the College news-
paer, but as independent columnists.
Barry Goldwater, whose stands on
major issues have been greatly misin-
terpreted, is representative of the new
bloo~ in the Republican Party. The
catchy slogan "the old frontier" is said
to be sweeping the states by storm.
Senator Goldwater has stated "that it
is possible for him to carry every
.
state
in the Union-all thirteen of them."
Standing firmly on the sound traditions
of our Nation, the Senator is openly cri-
tical of several national problems and
has taken these stands with absolutely
no vacillation:
National Defense - Senator Gold-
water has stated that the Democrats
have placed too much faith in modern
military mechanisms. If he is elected
he has promised to completely revise
the Department of Defense, A definite
measure suggested by the Senator is an
immediate increase in the production
of our ironclads of the Monitor class.
There have been hints in several other
speeches that he has already chosen the
man to lead in this major shakedown.
It
is apparent that the relatively unknown
silversmith from Massachusetts, Paul
Revere, will become the new Secretary
of Defense. The Democrats have chal-
lenged that if the worthy. senator were
to select this warmonger we will once
more be involved in a war with "Mother
England" before 1813.
Foreign Policy -
A series of em-
barrassing incidents have proved advan-
tageous to the cry for reform. The in-'
effectual blockade of Cuba is undoubted-
ly a thorn in the side of the Democrats.
Senator Goldwater stated "that a firm
policy towards the Cuban regime is es-
sential to the defense of the United States
and Latin America." Barry advocates
a complP.te blockade in order to achieve
the necessary security against the
(Jpaniards. The threat toLatinAmeric-
October 12, 1964
President
and
Carrie Nation
an Republics posed by the Cuban situa-
tion can only be alleviated by the com-
plete endorsement of the democratic
states, such as the ones presently con-
trolled by Simon Bolivar and Bernardo
O'Higgins.
On the Oriental scene, Communist
China poses a paramount threat to our
well-being.
The rapid expansion of
their totalitarian and atheistic doctrine
·
has brought sharp criticism from the
Senator. "Their hostile acts cannot be
tolerated.
If
they continue I would be
forced to revoke the Open Door Policy. "
When the Senator was asked if a summit
meeting with the Red Chinese leader
would be possible he answered in his
own inimitable style that "under no
circumstances will I meet with that
warmonger, Genghis Khan.
"Close relations with our allies
will be most advantageous in these try-
ing years."
In
order to fulfill this
statement, the Senator has made it
quite clear that he will meet with the
Allied leaders - Lloyd George, and
Georges Clemenceau - to discuss the
ticklish situation of Berlin. In order
to better relations with Russia Gold-
water has suggested the appointment of
Seward as Secretary of State.
Domestic Policy - The domestic
policy has been one of creeping social-
ism in the eyes of the Arizonian.
The
Liberal Child Labor Law has been
challenged
·
as unconstitutional by the
conservative Senator.
"A complete
change in our agricultural policy must
be made. The industrial development
of the New England area is completely
wasted energy. The New England states
are destined to become a thriving agri-
cultural region.
Although opposed to
Federal Aid I would be infavorof price
supports to the New England rice in-
dustry."
Another major domestic topic is
that of the Eastern financial power and
bossism.
A financial shift has been
suggested from New York and J.
p.
Morgan to the more conservative Far
West (New Jersey). As for the ques-
tion of democratic bosses it is appar-
ent that the Senator intends to release
the urban areas from the throes of
Peter Stuyvesant, whose graft and dic-
tatorial powers have halted the expan-
sion q11d growth of New York City.
Crime has appeared as a new issue
on
the political scene. Over more re-
cent years, there has been a new crime
wave. "A beefing up of our Federal
law enforcement agencies should halt
the actions of such notorious figures
as the James Brothers, Dalton Boys,
and Wyatt Earp. "

The Inconsistent
Candidate
Bill Driscoll
Barry Goldwater,
the recently
nominated Republican candidate, has,
of late, shown some marked inconsis-
tencies with his basic philosophy
.
He
is not a raving, demogogic maniac but
he does have a political philosophy
, which is basically opposed to the tradi-
' tional
mode of American thinking.
Senator Goldwater, obviously is a
strict constructionist; that is, he be-
lieves that the constitution should be
.interpreted strictly and the Federal
'Government should assume only those
specific duties which are reserved to it
in the constitution.
What
the Senator
does not understand is that the constitu-
tion is a flexible institution and the
F'ederal Government is only able to as-
sume that power which the states are
either unable or unwilling to assume.
If
we, therefore, agree that all
citizens• rights and privileges should
be guaranteed--and if a state is unable
or unwilling to assume those rights or
privileges than it is left to the Federal ·
Government to guarantee these to all
citizens. Senator Goldwater is c;:,pposed
to this--he believes that all states
should be left alone to cope with their
ovm problems even if they are unable or
unwilling to carry out their duties.
The Goldwater philosophy, there-
fore, becomes even more inaccurate
when one compares some of his public
statements in this light. On March 16,
1962 in an article in Continental Class-
room he wrote, "I think people will ac-
cept that the Federal Government has
had an historical role in ... interstate
education;" yet Goldwater voted to cur-
tail funds for vocational needs.
He claims to be against poverty
but he voted against the poverty bill.
In
the Der Spiegel Interview on June 30
1964
-
Goldwater stated" ... at this mom-•
ent I would say that the United States
is strong enough militarily to do pretty
muchwhatshewants to do with Russia;"
yet a few short weeks ago Senator Gold-
water claimed that the Kennedy-John-
son administration hadn't gained in the
military field.
Furthermore,
despite stating in
the Goldwater for President Committee
Position paper on April 14, 1964, that
"Foreign military and technical assist-
ance are valuable adjuncts to our over-
all program of military security

Crowded
Campus Conditions
by Bob Hacke-er
Insufficient space is currently a
problem facing Marist as it does col-
leges and universities across the coun-
try. However, the roots of our present
dilemma do not spring from the post-
war baby boom which caused other
colleges to admit the largest freshman
class ever. Our problem was not due
to
an
increase of the freshman class,
but to an overall increase in the student
body.
In fact, this year's freshman
class is actually some thirty students
3maller than the class of 1967
.
A con-
siderable reduction of the freshman
class would have led to an imbalance
in the future
.
Therefore, to preserve
the balance it was necessary to tem.;
porarily overcrowd this year. However,
this problem will be alleviated when
the new dormitory is completed next
year.
Paul Nigra, a residt'lnt ofLeo1fa11~
complained about the lack of quiet

placed to study, since the conversion

of the study rooms in

ted areas, outside of his room where a
student can

nd
quiet, which is necessary for concen-
tration. It is unfortunate, because one
is not always able to
.
study in one's
room, and now there is simply no
place to go. Of course, there is the
library, but that is usually
quite
crowded and also is not available for
use afte; 1
O

·
the student has
only the choice of either not studying
at all or perhaps studying under adverse
conditions •
Another observation was made by
Michael Perry, who stated that it
seemed unfair that people who lived in
the converted room had to pay the same
amount for accommodations as others.
I'his thought seems especially acute
when one considers the people who are
living
in
the infirmary
in
Leo Hall.
In
CANDIDATE· (cont. )
of the campaign, Goldwater was quoted
by the New York Times Magazine of
D~cember 24, 1963.as saying "I do not
think any decision of the Supreme Court
is necessarily the law of the land. "
Despite this, on July 21, 1964 in a re-
corded interview in the Milwaukee Jour-
nal he said of his opposition tothe Civil
Rights Bill on Constitutional grounds,
"It's up to the Supreme Court to decide
whether I was right or wrong."
.
This obviously supports my conten-
tion that s·enator Goldwater istoofickle
and inconsistent to. be the leader of the
ff":;-t
powerful country in the worl!i,
one
of"These
rooms, there are
eiglit

the fact
that
it
is

room,

It
is
especially
disturbing
forthese
re-
sidents. because their room contains
:
the single sink, shower,
and
toilet
which is supposed to serve 16 people.
·
Moreover, the recreation area
is
loca-
ted right next to
this
room, and the
noise froni the pool tables and players
make it nearly impossible to study.
By the reactivation
of
the Donnelly
residence area, some of the faculty are
1eprived of
_
their private offices.
A
classroom was
-supposed
to have been
·
divided up into cubicles as a substitute
,but
when the schedule was finished,
·
it
was found that
·
there were no extra
classrooms.
Instead, the lounge
in
Donnelly was designated for
this
pur-
pose.
·
Upon interviewing thefacultymem-
oers in this office, it was found that
while th lounge
··
is
_
spacious,
airy
and
a place to work, it
-
does have disadvan-
tages. First, it lacks privacy, being
too open for solitude, which
is
neces-
.
sary for concentration.
Secondly, it
is an inconvenience to the
student
who
.
NOuld seek from the faculty member
advice or counsel. ]for the student it

not likely to go to
this
open area to
review his problems with his instructor.

cre in the process. seem to be taking it
;uite well.
Generally• it

is an inconvenience,

they still
have Adrian Lounge,
in
which to pursue
their various activities.
Actually, it
is
useless to complain
about the overcrowded conditions, be-
cause there is nothing we can do to
change them. We should, instead, use
our initiative to lessen the inconveni-
ences and learn

to endure with qui.et

believe. the

In

often, either consciously

Yet Marist, although an extreme]y

places the individual above

else,
and rightfully so. For it
is
the student
population which comprises the founda-
tion of a college; the foundation upon
which the eventual faith, success or

failure, of said school
is
determined.
Perhaps I should clarify the term
liberties
of
which I have spoken. It
does not exclusively encompass that of

1y the work of Red agitators who are in-

The Senator has taken pains
to disavow himself from radical groups
and has publicly denounced the summer
antics of the hoodlums who rioted and

destroyed goods in P
_

quaintly disguised as Indians.
Conclusion -
Although Senator
Goldwater has met with opposit
i
on from
_
the members of his own party, lie ig-
nores the threats of Joseph Smith of
New York, whoclaimstobeinthemain-
stream of Republican thought, to move
to Utah, if the Senator- is
·
elected. A
-
consensus shows a bipartisan support
lrom various religious
·
and
.
..
ethnic
•
groups. The liberal Catholic thinker,
Martin Luther, has openly endorsed the
Arizona Senator as well as the renowned
:
leader of the Jewish community-, George
Lincoln Rockwell. The support of such
.
notables
greatly
enhances Senator
Goldwater's chances in October (Julian
Calendar).
The incumbent Lyndon Johnson
·
who is now famous for his "Misdeal'',
is letting his liberal record of· the past
year speak for itself.
The charge of
creeping Socialism has been rep
e
atedly
denied as a threat to the nationalized
factory worker and the American far-
mer down on the commune.
Standing
on his Democratic predecessor's re-
cord in foreign policy, President John-
son can safely say that all is quiet at
.
Hiroshima. During his term of office
the United states has not once been in-
vaded, a new record and noteworthy
achievement
.
for a Democrat. In order
to i.Inprove relations between our govern-
ment and the Communists the President
recently announced the engagement of
his daughter Luci to
·
Charley Chaplin.
In order to enchance his love for
free enterprise and
.
conservation, Lyn-
·
don has suggested the possibility of a
Rio Grande and Mississippi River Val-
ley Authority constructed by the Feder-
al Government and placed in
·
the hands
of a private interest.
Many nam
e
s
have been mentioned as aspiring to own-
ership, among them three Texans -

Lynda Bird, Lady Bird, and Myna Bird

The imcumbent President Lyndon

No, there isn't any misprint in the
above statement. These are the words
of Coach Arold as he dismisses his
::rew candidates for the day. The next
morning he drives up to the boathouse
and sees twenty or more yawning faces
ready to continue their battle for posi-
tions in the Marist shell.
Since September 23rd the battle
has raged; it will not cease until the
select few are chosen.
There is no
l
e
tup on anyone's part; even former
:
varsity oarsmen have to put out or risk
_losing their seat .
.
li'ROSH TURNOUT EXCELLENT
Coach Arold, in his first year here
at Marist
,
is pleased with the turnout,
especially those aspirants from the
class of •
68.
It is of importance to
note that freshmen are eligible not
only
for
one of two freshmen boats,
but also for the junior varsity shell.
Only in this way can Marist build for
the future and still turn out fine
'
crews
for the season at hand.
The faculty
and students of the college can be just-
ly proud of these men who are wider

g
oing an intense training program for
,
the chance to repres
e
nt them.
This year's crew will be ledbytwo

Odd-shoed Freshmen,
burdened
with
their six inch rocks, their five by

bow ties, stamped rabidly about the
(ampus.
Their fervid participation
matched the soon to be drenched enthu-
siasm that was projected by the Sophs.
Th
e
familiar Freshman beanies did not
arrive until later in the week, but Frosh
neads were filled with the droning sound
·
of their voices after the command of
"air raid" had been muttered. Som
e
of
•
the voices, the loudest to date, denote
the e
x
istence of a terrific booster
,
group for athletic events. It was ob-
vious by Saturday that the frantic cries
of "We' re the top cats" might bear
3ome truth as the Sophs were escorted
to
their Waterloo.
The Frosh have begun their move-
nent toward becoming. They partook
:>fa common tremor that formerfresh-
1men had endured and enjoyed.
The
movement is fluid and durable; the be-
gi11.lting of becoming lends itself to the
process of doing.

GRDUNDBREAKING
CEREMONY
by
Ted
Flynn
The groundbreaiting we witnessed
tJ:'hursday was the dedication not
so
much
of a building, though it is this,
but of a
man,
bis
work, and his dream;
. The
man
is the Marist priest, Father
Marcellin Champagnat born:near Lyons,
·France, in 1789 and raised during the
French Revolution and Napoleanic. Era
iin
France. His work is the. inception
of
a community of men committed to
the Christian education
of
youth, a
group whose life and work were to have
· a
special relevance to th~ needs of a
persecuted and suppressed Christianity.
.For many years, Father Champagnat :
'observed and lamented the condition of
'Christianity,
plagues by ignorance,
superstition, and indifference. but he
could not 'decide in which direction to
channel
his
energies. History tells us
•that a mountainside encounter with a
;dying
boy who did not even know of the
existence of God, convinced Father
Champagnat that the most ~portant
task for him was to _ed.ucate ,the young,
.the future leaders of the Church. The
community he founded to urltiate this
'task has since become known to the·
world as the Marist Brothers of the
Schools.
·The dream of Father Champagnat .
was the eventual propagation of his
community., its message andlivingwit-
ness, to every nation and people. To-
day, this dream is fulfilled in your
sight. This groundbreaking ceremony
. of Chainpagnat Hall signifies 10,000
Marist Brothers continuing Father
.Champagriat•s work in 57 countries
throughout the world.
After an introduction by the Master
of Ceremonies, Dr. John Schroeder,
Dean of the Evening Division, there
was the Invocation given by Rt. Rev.
Msgr. Leo J. Gregg, Dean of Clergy
of Dutchess and Putnam counties.

13eware of
Colleg~
Students
Critics of our society have been saying, for several y~ars, that Ameri-:
cans, and every country they influence, are grossly conformity oriented. Each
one has shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that man feels an innate desire to
.
identify hims.elf with a mode of life, a
.
political
party,
,a manner of dress, a
philosophy, and above all to conform to the mores of
an
economic level
·
slightly above him. These same critics also attack the college student for
wearing khakis; sneakers (socks optional); having short hair, usually parted
and combed to the side; donning striped, short sleeved, shirts; driving a
sports car; and smoking a pipe that often looks like
a
blemish on his face,
He, the student, wholeheartedly supports the most radical political party
which, in recent years, has been conservative; is willing to condemn the
long upheld tenets of society, often refuses
·
to obey authority, k_eeps horrible
hours, consumes far too much alcohol, and would have made a
\,~ry
imposing
trophy above Freud's mantle.
·
"Welcome to the Museum of Stuffed Students. On your left we have the
Yale exhibit. Notice the tie rakishly cast over his shoulder, the large black
glasses resting half-way down his thin nose, and the myopic, bloodshot eyes,
peering from behind the smoke screen sent up by the extra
limb
protruding
from his mouth. Here ladies and gentlemen, is the universal college student.
Fear him. "
It
would seem out of place if that Do Not Feed Wild Life sign
were not covering the front of his Genuine India Madras sports jacket.
While this paroqy is perhaps far-fetched, it still produces what seems to
be a consensus of a gr-eat many of our pseudo-sociologists. They feel that:
(1 )
.
the college student is potentially dangerous; (2) those who do not like Madras
Barry, Brown loafers, Briar, Booze, Broads, and Big Business should re-
ceive some recognition for non-conformity beyond
.
the call cif duty; and (3) they
must avoid any contact with college thought and when confronted by it must be
·
indifferent. Yet they do play upon the college mind for the sale of products.
We have increal\leq sales of Viceroy and Marlboro, nominated Barry Goldwater,
expanded college fashions into a booming industry, and made Burt and Harry,
Shultz and Dooley very·happy indeed.
All
.
this we have accomplished by sheer
numbers. Does that not
·
in itself demonstrate that we, the college students,
are thinking for ourselves. We have m~aged to have our own story printed in
-
almost every major publication
.
in Amer~·ca, each year. A whole survey was
devoted to determine our sex life and se>c linked factors, such as drinking
habits and ideas
·
of beauty. If every college student was to associate himself
with the Civil Rights Movement; the pr<,grain would have to be changed to
-
eliminate the derogotony connotations ~cquired because of our
.
contact. This
is the power we wield. This is the evil of college. So say the critics.
. ·
Yet, we are
in
coll~ge to learn. Some would disagree and say we are
here to increase our financial success after graduation. However, they can-
not rEJfute the fact that some knowledge must be attained in order to receive
a diploma. Therefore, the college students are the embryonic intelligentia.
It
is from this embryo that the thinking of the future world will be formed.
The critics, these pseudo-sociologists, are placing too much emphasis upon
the externals. They are generalizing too much when they say colleges sup-
port a radical
·political
policy. All students dress the same and this dress
does necessarily influence .the so'-called regimented thinking as much as the
critics would have us believe. The
_fact
that we tend to question the tenets of
society; the established norms of behavior, does not stem from an external
source. Rather, it comes from within the thinking student. It rises natural
-
ly from his position as a junior partner in the Intelligentia Co. He places him-
self outside society and looks inward instead of around. His comments are
sometimes radical, sometimes meaningless, but he does investigate. This is
what our country needs, a true spirit, a real ideal. So to the critics of the
college student we say, that externals, while holding a
minimuµi
importance
are riot the heart of college life. We are the ones who will make or break this
world. We now have a feeling of pride
in
the institution we attend and the way

Swallow

by Brenda Breadsticks
For the first time in a number of
decades the people of the United States
are to be given a definite choice in the
selection of the President. The domina-
tion of liberal policy has been threaten-
ed by a conservative upsurge on the
national level. The incumbent Demo-
crats are resting their hopes on Lyn-
don Baines Johnson and Hubert Hump-
hrey, while the Republicans are foster-
ing theirs in the candidacy of Barry
Goldwater and William Miller. In the
interest of fair play, the political candi-
dates will be assessed in a carefulper-
spective for any of the Marist College
faculty or students who remain unalign-
ed to a national candidate. In conclu-
sion, we will endorse the more worthy
candidates, not as the College news-
paer, but as independent columnists.
Barry Goldwater, whose stands on
major issues have been greatly misin-
terpreted, is representative of the new
bloo~ in the Republican Party. The
catchy slogan "the old frontier" is said
to be sweeping the states by storm.
Senator Goldwater has stated "that it
is possible for him to carry every
.
state
in the Union-all thirteen of them."
Standing firmly on the sound traditions
of our Nation, the Senator is openly cri-
tical of several national problems and
has taken these stands with absolutely
no vacillation:
National Defense - Senator Gold-
water has stated that the Democrats
have placed too much faith in modern
military mechanisms. If he is elected
he has promised to completely revise
the Department of Defense, A definite
measure suggested by the Senator is an
immediate increase in the production
of our ironclads of the Monitor class.
There have been hints in several other
speeches that he has already chosen the
man to lead in this major shakedown.
It
is apparent that the relatively unknown
silversmith from Massachusetts, Paul
Revere, will become the new Secretary
of Defense. The Democrats have chal-
lenged that if the worthy. senator were
to select this warmonger we will once
more be involved in a war with "Mother
England" before 1813.
Foreign Policy -
A series of em-
barrassing incidents have proved advan-
tageous to the cry for reform. The in-'
effectual blockade of Cuba is undoubted-
ly a thorn in the side of the Democrats.
Senator Goldwater stated "that a firm
policy towards the Cuban regime is es-
sential to the defense of the United States
and Latin America." Barry advocates
a complP.te blockade in order to achieve
the necessary security against the
(Jpaniards. The threat toLatinAmeric-

and
Carrie Nation
an Republics posed by the Cuban situa-
tion can only be alleviated by the com-
plete endorsement of the democratic
states, such as the ones presently con-
trolled by Simon Bolivar and Bernardo
O'Higgins.
On the Oriental scene, Communist
China poses a paramount threat to our
well-being.
The rapid expansion of
their totalitarian and atheistic doctrine
·
has brought sharp criticism from the
Senator. "Their hostile acts cannot be
tolerated.
If
they continue I would be
forced to revoke the Open Door Policy. "
When the Senator was asked if a summit
meeting with the Red Chinese leader
would be possible he answered in his
own inimitable style that "under no
circumstances will I meet with that
warmonger, Genghis Khan.
"Close relations with our allies
will be most advantageous in these try-
ing years."
In
order to fulfill this
statement, the Senator has made it
quite clear that he will meet with the
Allied leaders - Lloyd George, and
Georges Clemenceau - to discuss the
ticklish situation of Berlin. In order
to better relations with Russia Gold-
water has suggested the appointment of
Seward as Secretary of State.
Domestic Policy - The domestic
policy has been one of creeping social-
ism in the eyes of the Arizonian.
The
Liberal Child Labor Law has been
challenged
·
as unconstitutional by the
conservative Senator.
"A complete
change in our agricultural policy must
be made. The industrial development
of the New England area is completely
wasted energy. The New England states
are destined to become a thriving agri-
cultural region.
Although opposed to
Federal Aid I would be infavorof price
supports to the New England rice in-
dustry."
Another major domestic topic is
that of the Eastern financial power and
bossism.
A financial shift has been
suggested from New York and J.
p.
Morgan to the more conservative Far
West (New Jersey). As for the ques-
tion of democratic bosses it is appar-
ent that the Senator intends to release
the urban areas from the throes of
Peter Stuyvesant, whose graft and dic-
tatorial powers have halted the expan-
sion q11d growth of New York City.
Crime has appeared as a new issue
on
the political scene. Over more re-
cent years, there has been a new crime
wave. "A beefing up of our Federal
law enforcement agencies should halt
the actions of such notorious figures
as the James Brothers, Dalton Boys,
and Wyatt Earp. "

The Inconsistent
Candidate
Bill Driscoll
Barry Goldwater,
the recently
nominated Republican candidate, has,
of late, shown some marked inconsis-
tencies with his basic philosophy
.
He
is not a raving, demogogic maniac but
he does have a political philosophy
, which is basically opposed to the tradi-
' tional
mode of American thinking.
Senator Goldwater, obviously is a
strict constructionist; that is, he be-
lieves that the constitution should be
.interpreted strictly and the Federal
'Government should assume only those
specific duties which are reserved to it
in the constitution.
What
the Senator
does not understand is that the constitu-
tion is a flexible institution and the
F'ederal Government is only able to as-
sume that power which the states are
either unable or unwilling to assume.
If
we, therefore, agree that all
citizens• rights and privileges should
be guaranteed--and if a state is unable
or unwilling to assume those rights or
privileges than it is left to the Federal ·
Government to guarantee these to all
citizens. Senator Goldwater is c;:,pposed
to this--he believes that all states
should be left alone to cope with their
ovm problems even if they are unable or
unwilling to carry out their duties.
The Goldwater philosophy, there-
fore, becomes even more inaccurate
when one compares some of his public
statements in this light. On March 16,
1962 in an article in Continental Class-
room he wrote, "I think people will ac-
cept that the Federal Government has
had an historical role in ... interstate
education;" yet Goldwater voted to cur-
tail funds for vocational needs.
He claims to be against poverty
but he voted against the poverty bill.
In
the Der Spiegel Interview on June 30
1964
-
Goldwater stated" ... at this mom-•
ent I would say that the United States
is strong enough militarily to do pretty
muchwhatshewants to do with Russia;"
yet a few short weeks ago Senator Gold-
water claimed that the Kennedy-John-
son administration hadn't gained in the
military field.
Furthermore,
despite stating in
the Goldwater for President Committee
Position paper on April 14, 1964, that
"Foreign military and technical assist-
ance are valuable adjuncts to our over-
all program of military security
'

Crowded
Campus Conditions
by Bob Hacke-er
Insufficient space is currently a
problem facing Marist as it does col-
leges and universities across the coun-
try. However, the roots of our present
dilemma do not spring from the post-
war baby boom which caused other
colleges to admit the largest freshman
class ever. Our problem was not due
to
an
increase of the freshman class,
but to an overall increase in the student
body.
In fact, this year's freshman
class is actually some thirty students
3maller than the class of 1967
.
A con-
siderable reduction of the freshman
class would have led to an imbalance
in the future
.
Therefore, to preserve
the balance it was necessary to tem.;
porarily overcrowd this year. However,
this problem will be alleviated when
the new dormitory is completed next
year.
Paul Nigra, a residt'lnt ofLeo1fa11~
complained about the lack of quiet

ted areas, outside of his room where a
student can

nd
quiet, which is necessary for concen-
tration. It is unfortunate, because one
is not always able to
.
study in one's
room, and now there is simply no
place to go. Of course, there is the
library, but that is usually
quite
crowded and also is not available for
use afte; 1
O
P. M. So
·
the student has
only the choice of either not studying
at all or perhaps studying under adverse
conditions •
Another observation was made by
Michael Perry, who stated that it
seemed unfair that people who lived in
the converted room had to pay the same
amount for accommodations as others.
I'his thought seems especially acute
when one considers the people who are
living
in
the infirmary
in
Leo Hall.
In
CANDIDATE· (cont. )
of the campaign, Goldwater was quoted
by the New York Times Magazine of
D~cember 24, 1963.as saying "I do not
think any decision of the Supreme Court
is necessarily the law of the land. "
Despite this, on July 21, 1964 in a re-
corded interview in the Milwaukee Jour-
nal he said of his opposition tothe Civil
Rights Bill on Constitutional grounds,
"It's up to the Supreme Court to decide
whether I was right or wrong."
.
This obviously supports my conten-
tion that s·enator Goldwater istoofickle
and inconsistent to. be the leader of the
ff":;-t
powerful country in the worl!i,
one
of"These

the fact
that

It
is
especially
disturbing
forthese
re-
sidents. because their room contains
:
the single sink, shower,
and
toilet
which is supposed to serve 16 people.
·
Moreover, the recreation area
is
loca-
ted right next to
this
room, and the
noise froni the pool tables and players
make it nearly impossible to study.
By the reactivation
of
the Donnelly
residence area, some of the faculty are
1eprived of
_
their private offices.
A
classroom was
-supposed
to have been
·
divided up into cubicles as a substitute
,but
when the schedule was finished,
·
it
was found that
·
there were no extra
classrooms.
Instead, the lounge
in
Donnelly was designated for
this
pur-
pose.
·
Upon interviewing thefacultymem-
oers in this office, it was found that
while th lounge
··
is
_
spacious,
airy
and
a place to work, it
-
does have disadvan-
tages. First, it lacks privacy, being
too open for solitude, which
is
neces-
.
sary for concentration.
Secondly, it
is an inconvenience to the
student
who

College
Seniors preparing to teach

school may take the National Teacher
Examination on four different test dates
:!ach year instead of one, Educational
_
Testing Service announced today.
_
New dates set for the testing of
prospective teachers are: December 21,
1964; and March 20, July 17, and Octo-
ber 2, 1965. The tests will be given at
more than 550 locations
in
the 50 states,
ETS said.
.
Scores on the National Teacher
Examinations are used by many large
school districts for employment of new
teachers and by several States for cer-
tification or licensing of teachers.
Some colleges require
all seniors pre-
paring to teach to take the examination.

aspects
of
life
at
Marist is, I
believe. the
great
. amount of freedom
which
the
student
body
enjoys.
In
a
college our size, one
would
expect
the opposite
to
be
the case, for
a
small school is,
in
many cases,
a
young
·
school.
a
school aspiring
to a
higher
strata
of
significance and fame.
.In this
quest for a loftier rating. 1he
institution
too
often, either consciously
_
or unconsciously, places the liberties
of
its students
in
a
secoodary position.
'
while conformity
and
restrictiveness
·occupies
the primacy station.
·
Yet Marist, although an extreme]y
,young college and one which most de-
.
finitely desires a greater recognition,.
places the individual above
all
else,
and rightfully so. For it
is
the student
population which comprises the founda-
tion of a college; the foundation upon
which the eventual faith, success or
'
failure, of said school
is
determined.
Perhaps I should clarify the term
liberties
of
which I have spoken. It
does not exclusively encompass that of
a late curlew or an unquestioned social
·
life, but
_
does consist
_
of
a different
type
of
freedom, a freedom which per-

all students to a voice, one

The Senator has taken pains
to disavow himself from radical groups
and has publicly denounced the summer
antics of the hoodlums who rioted and
·
destroyed goods in P
_
oston harbor,
quaintly disguised as Indians.
Conclusion -
Although Senator
Goldwater has met with opposit
i
on from
_
the members of his own party, lie ig-
nores the threats of Joseph Smith of
New York, whoclaimstobeinthemain-
stream of Republican thought, to move
to Utah, if the Senator- is
·
elected. A
-
consensus shows a bipartisan support
lrom various religious
·
and
.
..
ethnic
•
groups. The liberal Catholic thinker,
Martin Luther, has openly endorsed the
Arizona Senator as well as the renowned
:
leader of the Jewish community-, George
Lincoln Rockwell. The support of such
.
notables
greatly
enhances Senator
Goldwater's chances in October (Julian
Calendar).
The incumbent Lyndon Johnson
·
who is now famous for his "Misdeal'',
is letting his liberal record of· the past
year speak for itself.
The charge of
creeping Socialism has been rep
e
atedly
denied as a threat to the nationalized
factory worker and the American far-
mer down on the commune.
Standing
on his Democratic predecessor's re-
cord in foreign policy, President John-
son can safely say that all is quiet at
.
Hiroshima. During his term of office
the United states has not once been in-
vaded, a new record and noteworthy
achievement
.
for a Democrat. In order
to i.Inprove relations between our govern-
ment and the Communists the President
recently announced the engagement of
his daughter Luci to
·
Charley Chaplin.
In order to enchance his love for
free enterprise and
.
conservation, Lyn-
·
don has suggested the possibility of a
Rio Grande and Mississippi River Val-
ley Authority constructed by the Feder-
al Government and placed in
·
the hands
of a private interest.
Many nam
e
s
have been mentioned as aspiring to own-
ership, among them three Texans -

Lynda Bird, Lady Bird, and Myna Bird

The imcumbent President Lyndon

No, there isn't any misprint in the

of Coach Arold as he dismisses his

morning he drives up to the boathouse
and sees twenty or more yawning faces
ready to continue their battle for posi-
tions in the Marist shell.
Since September 23rd the battle
has raged; it will not cease until the
select few are chosen.
There is no

It is of importance to
note that freshmen are eligible not

for
one of two freshmen boats,
but also for the junior varsity shell.
Only in this way can Marist build for
the future and still turn out fine

for the season at hand.
