work, such as stage construction, set
·
designing, lighting, props, etc.
Mr. Britt, the Guild's Director,
and Brother Joseph Belanger, the Mode-

tion at the apparent good choice of
young actors.
"The play itself is a masterpiece
and will require good acting, hard work
and
perseverance. But if everyone does
his or her part, it will be a giant suc-
cess for the actors and for Marist Col-

Aprft 1st Set For Scholar
Incentive Applications
Scholarship, fellowship and scholar
incentive claims for the spring 1963
semester are being forwarded to the
colleges at this time. The claims will
include the
·
names of
all
students who
filed complete and approvable applica-
tions prior to January
1,
1963.
Stu-
dents whose applications are approved
after that date will be included
in
sup-
plementary vouchers.
Please note that only one applica-
tion serves for
.
both the fall and spring
semesters. Students who have already
filed for the fall semester should not
file again, even if payment for the fall
has not yet been processed. Similarly,
only one notification of maximum award
is issued each year.
Thenotification
issued to students in September applies
to both semesters. New notifications
for the spring will be issued only to
those students who did not file an appli-
cation for the fall term.
Special attention is called to the
cut-off date of April 1, 1963 for filing
applications for the spring semester.
Applications filed after that date cannot
be accepted. Yourcooperationis asked
in assuring the widest possible public-
ity
to
this cut-off date by announcements,
prominent posting, inclusion in student
publications, and other appropriate cam-

Student Council Announces
New Election Procedures
The elections for the student coun-
cil of 1963-64 will be held on Friday,
April 26, 1963. Underthe new election
rules all nominations must be submitted
to the election commissioner on or be-
fore Friday, MARCH 15, 1963. This
gives any student considering nomina-
tion approximately one month
to
make
up his mind.
During the interval be-
tween the nomination date and the elec-
tion
date all nominees are required to
attend all council meetings and to act
on at least one committee of the coun-
cil; this is tc:> familiarize them with the
workings of the council before they enter
office.
The positions open to each class
are
as
follows: senior class - presi-
dent, vice-president and a representa-
tive; junior class - recording and cor-
responding secretaries and a class re-
presentative; sophomore class - treasu-
rer and a class representative.
The class into which a student en-
ters
in
September of 1963 determines
the offices which are open to him; for
example a student entering as a junior,
even if he
is
a junir this semester,
may run for the posts available to that
class.
A
summary of the pertinent elec-
tion rules follows:
1.
For council offices representing the
entire student body nominees must ob-
tain the signatures of 1 /loth of the day,
full
time, student body on a nominating
petition.
2. For class office on the council nomi-
nees must secure the signatures of
1/lOth of the members of their class.
3.
No student maynominate more than
one candidate for the same post.
4.
If more than three people are nomi-
nated for the same office, a primary
will be held on Friday April 5th, and
the names of the top three candidates
will be entered in the final election.
5.
All
candidates must have a minimum
2. 00
cumulative index.
6. All nominating petitions must be
given directly to Bob Snyder, election
commissioner.
7. All nominees for president of the
council must have attended Marist for
at least THREE full semesters.

Success Equals?
Success in
college is often equated with the grades orereceives.
It
is my opinion, however, that these are not valid criteria
if
one
considers the purpose of a college education. If the aim of college
is to teach one how to learn, how to educate oneself, then marks
cannot be the sole basis of evaluating success.
Of
course, tests and grades are a necessary evil for the pur-
pose of stimulation, but they should not be the norm by which a
college student judges himself. Memorization and application of
facts do not constitute the entirety
·
of or
even
greater part of self-
education. Good grades may indicate that one is learning to learn,
and poor grades may indicate the opposite, but this is not neces-
sarily so.
A
more accurate measurement
for
self-evaluation
is
reading,
or more precisely, proper reading. This is perhaps the greatest
means by which one can
educate
himself; and therefore, the amount
of proper reading a student does is the true test of his success in
college.
For those who need facts and proof of material as well as ab-
stract advantages I wish to add the following quote from International
Paper's booklet The Reading Explosion.
"There is an expected parallel between the increase in educa-
tion and the increase in reading .....
Correlation between success and reading can actually be ex-
pressed in terms of dollars. We asked one hundred company offi-
cers earning over $7500 a year 'How many magazines, books, and
newspapers have you read in the past week?'
·
The total of their
answers:
338
magazines; 53 books;
1,
490 newspapers.
Then we asked one hundred men in the same age group whose
salaries had never reached $7500 a year. The total for them:
229
magazines; 28 books; 1, 177 newspapers .....
Evidence that men who read more achieve more. "

February 19, 1963
The spirited meeting of the Even-
ing Division Student Council, held on
February 9th, resembled nothing quite
so much as an action-packed Western.
First the Conservatives came charging
into the fray, brandishing their argu-
ments like cavalry sabers. The lines
of the Liberals held firm, and when the
force of the Conservative charge was
spent, the Liberals mounted their own
charge.
Back and forth
surged the
battle, and in the center of the battle-
field
was
the
moderator - Brother
Cornelius, who, whenever he attempted
to rise, was forced back into cover by
the renewed charge of one group or the
other. When the bullets stopped rico-
chetting and the cloud of dust had sett-
led down, the matter had still not been
fully settled. What wa
·
s the controver-
sial issue? The Dean's Honor List for
the Evening Division!
The Liberals maintained that the
requirements of the Dean's list were
overly prohibitive when applied to the
Evening Division. (The requirements
are that a student, in order to get ap-
pointed to the list, must carry a mini-
mum of
12
credits for the semester and
attain a minimum of B average. ) The
Liberals argued that most of the night
students could not carry
12
credits, so,
even if they were doing academic work
worthy of honors,
they could never
make the Dean's list because of the
credit requirement.
On the other side, the Conserva-
tives held that any lessening of the
Dean's list requirements would effectu-
ally devaluate the worth of achieving a
position on the
list.
The honor
a
stu-
dent achieves is considerably dimmed
if
it
does not take a considerably more
_
than average effort to qualify for the
iist. Further, they argued, that lower-
ing of the requirements would penalize
the Honors student who did carry a
minimum of
12
credits; because, itis
far more difficult to earn a B average
with a
12
credit load than a
2,
4,
6
or
8
credit load.
A
compromise, of sorts, was achi-
eved.
A
recommendation will be made
to Dr. Schroeder that an Evening Divi-
sion Dean• s List be posted, commenc-
ing with the Fall semester of '63. The
proposed list will be divided into two
sections.
The first will name those
students who, carrying
12
credits or
more, have completed the most recent
serre ster with a B
(3.
0)
average or
above. The second part of the list will
consist of the posted names of
those
students who have earned 30 or more
credits at Marist, and have
an
average
of B or above.
It
will be
a
cumulative
index, that is, as long as
a
night stu-
dent has earned 30 or more credit~
maintaining a minimum B average~ re-
gardless of his credit load, he will re-
cant. on p. 3

Second Semester Alters
F
acuity and Student Body
by Peter Kearney
The new semester of 1963 has
brought a number of transfer students
and new teachers to Marist. However,
students have felt the temporary loss of
Brother Andrew Molloy, who has gone
to Switzerland. 1he purpose
-
of Brother
Andrew's departure is to attend his
second novitiate, a period of spiritual
retraining for those who have been
Marist Brothers for a number of years.
Brother Andrew will be gone for appro-
ximately six months.
Replacing Brot-
her Andrew as head of the Chemistry
Department will be Brother Richard La
Pietra.
Returning as head of the Psychology
Department is Brother Daniel Kirk, who
has just returned from his second novi-
tiate in Switzerland.
Brother Daniel
is former acting president and dormi-
tory proctor.
A new history instructor, Brother
Edward Cashin, has also come to Mar-
ist.
He has a doctorate degree in Ame-
rican history and formerly taught at Mt.
St. Michael, Bronx, N. Y.
Replacing Mr. Sommer in some of
his literature and composition classes
is Mr. Patrick Vitacco. He is a gradu-
ate (summa cum laude} of St. Mary's
College of Winona, Minnesota.
Mr.
Vitacco has also received a master's
degree in English from Columbia Uni-
versity.
cont. from p. 2
main on the list. A new posting will be
·
made at the end of each semester, and
any student who, having attained thP
list, fails to maintain these require-
ments will be promptly removed.
Another, less controversial topic,
was the subject of class rings for the
Evening Division.
To qualify for a
class ring (which costs about forty dol-
lars} a day student must have earned 80
credits and be in the second half of
his junior year. Meeting this require-
ment alone will not suffice for the
night
student
because each class ring
has the student• s graduating year em-
bossed upon its side. A nigh student
may well have 80 credits or more,
but because of his rate of credit earn-
ing, will not graduate for another two
or three years. The solution seems
to be that any night student, desiring
a class ring, will decide the matter
for himself. Practically speaking,
the night student will probably have
earned well in excess of I 00 credits
before the ring is ordered.
The last, and most interesting,
topic of discussion concerns the Spring
Social Activity. Committee Chairman
Lou Lewis stated that, although he
had received several bizarre sugges-
THE RECORD
Request Made by Reynard
for Student Assistance
We of the Senior Class invite all
underclassmen to be patrons in our
Yearbook.
The main purpose of this
is to aid in keeping down our expenses
for the Yearbook production. However,
this will also give the "silent men" on
campus an opportunity to have their
say in the
1
63 Reynard by giving us their
names and salutations.
Any group of student may
work
out their salutations. Any class of stu-
dents may give us their
II
confidential"
secrets.
All the students in the dormi-
tories
may all participate by floor,
friend, or foe. The cost of a patron is
ten dollars.
We do not expect single
students to be individual patrons.
We
would rather see groups often or so
who are "power blocs" to join with our
feelings.
Ten dollars for a group of
students is not much. We would, as we
said, prefer to see all classes repre-
sented in the Yearbook.
Any senior will be glad to take
your money. We usually do most of the
time anyway! In particular, men like
Phil Bruno, Wally Bunten, Gene Spada
or Tom Oulton would be glad to explain
what a patron is and why the Yearbook
needs them.
The above names are the
main segment of the Business Staff.
But we promise they will not give you
the"business". We will be on our busi-
ness campaign in February, March and
April. If a senior approaches you don't
stone him, give him your support.

tions, the activity most favored seem-
ed to be a picnic. Before making a
final decision on the matter, the Coun-
cil voted to look into the matter of se-
curing a suitable picnic site, one with
swimming and athletic facilities. The
picnic will be designed for the whole
famile, especially for children, so top
attendance is expected.
Free beer,
soft drinks, and hot dogs will be pro-
vided. There
will be supervised re-
creational activities for all the children,
a planned group of athletic activities
for those adults who wish to participate
(softball, volleyball, etc.), and ample
grassy areas for those who prefer to
simply laze away the warm June after-
noon.
By the way, the proposed date
for the event is June 23rd, a few weeks
after the final exams. It will be a great
opportunity for the wives, not only an
afternoon out, but the chance to meet
other students' wives, all having at
least one thing in common -- husbands
who, it must seem to them,
spend
most
of their time at home studying. Need-
less to say, the kids should love it.

lnTight83-798attle
by James Wright
On Sunday evening, February 10th
a group of freshmen played host to a
strong Student Brother Squad.
The
freshmen came out on top of the nip-
and-tuck contest 83-79.
The end of the first half found the
Brothers leading by an eight point mar-
gin.
This lead was J;iuilt up due to a
phenomenal 65o/o field goal shooting per-
centage, strong rebounding by Brother
Francis

Rourke, and the fine play-
making of Brother Michael O'Neill.
Early in the second half the frosh
switched their defense and came on
strong.
They built up an eight point
lead with less than four minutes to go
only to have it cut down to one with a
minute and a half left.
Clutch
foul
shooting by Dennis O'Brien and the
strong rebounding of Jim Clancy brought
the
margin back
up to four. This
proved to be the decisive factor in
giving the freshmen a well-deserved
victory.

The Marist cagers invaded New
York City in mid=January and complete-
ly wrapped up a Brooklyn Poly team
while setting a Red Fox scoring record,
103-69.
The entire story of the game was
told in the opening half. At the inter-
mission Marist led 62-29. The Red
Fox quintet trailed at one time 1-0,
and that was it!
While setting the 33
point half time lead Marist hit on 23
shots in 33 attempts.
Jim Daly was the hero of the game
as he tapped in the 100th point of the
rout.
The Marist cagers played hot to the
Bloomfield College team on January 29
at Poughkeepsie High School gym and
came out on the short end of a 67-59
score.
John Ouellet was the bright point in
the Red Fox line up for that night. "Big
O" popped in a 23 point barrage for his
year high.
Randy
Trawick led
all
scores with 24 points.
After the game Marist maintained
