Marist College received a
bomb threat early Tuesday
evening as night classes began.
Beverly Kuhn, the switchboard
operator on duty, said a young
female caller phoned the campus
at approximately 6:20 and said
"There
are explosives in Don-
nelly and they're going to go off
tonight."
Marist security was notified
and classes were cancelled,
forcing
approximately
250
students and teachers to leave
the building. Some instructors
moved their classes to other
buildings on campus.
A 45-minute search by town
police and Marist security found
nothing.

By

Sev's Pizzeria and TJ's J(iz-
zeria have raised their prices
from $3 last year to $4 this year.
However, according to Fred
Dalia, an employee of TJ's, they
made an agreement with Sev's.
"It
wasn't. worth delivering
pies to Marist (at th~ old J?rices)
so we decided to raise pnces ....
Everything has been talked about
between the two pizza places - it's
all been settled," he said.
Severio Vona, owner of Sev's,
said his prices went up due to
rising costs of supplies and the
added cost of paying delivery
boys.
Vona denied any coroboration
between his pizzeria and TJ's,
stating - "He asked us to do that,
but we were going to raise the
price anyway."
Josephine Dalia, the owner of
TJ's, also denied there was any
coroboration between the two
pizzerias. She said "We raised
prices because we have to pay for
deliveries.!'

According to the proposal, all
areas of the campus will be made
available for reservation for the
next academic year each spring.
Groups living in exclusive areas
who have met their stated goals

will
automatically be
given a renewal for another year.
Groups interested in securing a
floor, house or wing must submit
a proposal to interhouse council,
which will vote on the proposal at
a public meeting. Special
requests for living areas, with the
exception of fraternities, must
allow space for a certain amount
of freshman, and must help
recruit freshman to live in the
special areas. Groups must have
a minimum of25 and a maximum
of 50 people.

The traditional theology of spirituality,
Protestant and Catholic, defend itself as relating
to the real thing, that is to God. Based (as its
best) on presuppositions, it taught that one must
separate oneself from distractions, in order to
enter into relationship with the "real."
So active
Christians of whatever type, have had to
struggle constantly against the assumption that
while what they were doing was okay, it was still
not the "real thing."

we begin to think of authentic prayer as having
the expectation and consequence that one's
nature is changed, that one is called out of
oneself into another way of being, "not merely
receiving a form imposed on me by external
forces of forming my own life according to an
approved social pattern, but directing my love to
the personal reality of my brother or sister and
embracing God's· will, in its naked often un-
penetrable mystery." (Thomas Merton, 'Con-
templative Prayer')
These days everyone seems to be excited about

Ought we not to be asking what the consequences
of such ethical study are? What happens? What
does it look like? Have you ever seen a value

knowledge, as Christians and Jews, don't we
always have to ask what the consequences of this
knowledge is in the light of the future which God
has prepared for the world and which he carries
FRAl'JKLY·SPEAKING

Prayer, listening for and struggling with the
Word of God, ought always to point us in the
direction of the new creation which is the work of
God in and through men and women - you and
me. Like Jacole, in prayer, we do not let the Lord
go until we discover the blessing he-she has for
us now dawning just in his refusal to let us go.
Prayer is the event through which we discover
our part in the future and we pray out of the
tension in which God finds us struggling toward
the new creation. In the academic institution our
failure to connect theory and practice leaves us
open to a sort of schlzophrenia resulting in a
failure to understand and control the corrupting
influence of the principalities and powers at
work in our institution.
Both theology i;if spirituality and theory of
higher education deserve to be treated by all who
refuse to accept what convention calls the real
thing and who . struggle to achieve unity of
thought, purpose, and action.
What is being raised here is the questiol) of the
consequences of prayer and meditation. We tend
quite naturally to shy away from such con-
siderations because in our time prayer is
inevitably seen as having results ~xpressed in

Similar questions must be raised with regard
to prayer and spirituality. What are the con-
sequences of prayer? Do . we do it because
somehow it

right and just? Well, to some ex-
tent but perhaps we must also be clear that we do
it because encounter with the living God moves
us.forward into the future as different people;
people who .know ourselves because we know
that we are known. The consequences· of our
prayer should be: change in human nature; ~he·
non-acceptance of the self as. defined by the
social system; and. the .development of self as
self-in-coffiTTlunity.
.
Just as we insist that people come. to college to
be developed or formed into something not-yet-
krtown by exposure to what is known, we should
insist for ourselves. that prayer and spirituality
have the same character. Our thinking about
prayer and- spirituality must bear the same
responsibility for,the future on which we have
learned to insist in other aspects of life. We, the ·
members of this college, must be as concerned

\>resident Linus Foy said the attitudes of ad-
mmistrators caused breakdowns in communication
between students and administrators which led to the
forming of the "committee of
21"
and the march on his
office last year.
.
"One problem last year was we just didn't have a•'
united team administratively." Foy said in order to
change this administrators must be more sensitive .. to -
student input. Foy believes the relationship between
students and administrators is on a more normalized
basis now.
One year ago, a group of
21
students met with Foy
and other administrators to discuss a list of grievances
presented by the students. Although the groups met
several times, the student committee broke up. Foy
blames the students, "One of the problems with this
whole situation has been who is in charge." Foy said he
told the group to name representatives who would
speak for the students but they never did.

about "an explosion of individual contacts" between
students and administrators. He said exposure to the
committee "gave us a base to work from.'1 He said
there was a ':certain sense that students were being
taken advantage of". Because of the committee most
administrators have become sensitive to students. He
cited one example, "I think the academic dean was
particularly sensitive about student input on the time
schedule." .
"What really happened was it made a lot of people in
administrative positions listen to you a lot more," said
Peter Baudouin. He said he sees "vast changes in
attitudes on both sides", the situation is "on the whole
a more relaxed and better aµnosphere."
Foy· said he has tried to comply with most of the
grievances. "I agreed that finances of the dining
services be made available." He said all college ex-
penditures could be discussed with Anthony Campilii,
Jim Dasher said, "You didn't see decisions being
handed down by administrators without student
consent after the
'21'
met with them." But added the
committee fell short
in
some areas, "We gained, but
not as much as we hoped we gained." Dasher said the
committee did not follow up because "everybody's
grades suffered". Baudouin agreed, "We met every
night for a week and a half, you can't keep up that
pace, we would have all failed out."
. business manager. Foy said summer decisions have
been delayed until students ·returned or administrators _
have tried for prior consultation;
_
"Administrators should have as their aim that it not
happen again" said Foy. "This year the ad-
ministrators realize they have to be working at it", he
said, referring to communication.
It
doesn't work to
rely on formal communication channels only said Foy.
"It's a two way street."
Foy said he will try to announce any tuition increases
in April and believes this is adequate time to inform
students. He noted last year there was "a certain
amount of unhappiness at the spottiness of the activity
schedule." Foy said C.U.B. was asked to spread their
activities more evenly.
Kevin
Wolfe, a former
Champagnat
RC,
said his
involvement was worthwhile, "They seem to be a lot
more open than they were." He said new staff mem-
bers like Fred Gainer, Champagnat resident director,
are more concerned than former housing staff
members were.
"We really got used to running a very lax ship", in
the dormitories said Foy. He said last year there was a
problem with personnel and that has been changed.
