by Dr.
Edward·

'Keefe -(Psychology
Department) a:nd of Dr. -L.
Zuccarello (Department
of
History and Political· Science),
Dean . La Pietra awarded two
curriculum .development grants
in support
of
an interdisciplinary
approach to psychology and
political science. The summer
of
U170
was spent in planning the
topics. f()r · the c.ourse and in
reviewing the materials and
methodologies which would
be
used.·
The original plan attempted to
combine · the introductory level
coµrses in political science and
psychology, with two aims. in
mind: coverage of the · basic
principles of each of the two
disciplines and presentation
of
an
integrated, interdisciplinary
experience. During the
70-71
academic year, the course was
offered both semesters; Each
class
was
composed of sixty
students,
thirty of whom
registered for psychology credit
and thirty of wnom sought
political science credit. In
reality, therefore, each class was
actually the equivalent
of
two
full
sized classes. The latter was
thought necessary so that the
"leaching loads" of each
professor would not
be
sharply
diminished.
During that first year, the
major topics of the course cen-
tered on basic principles
of
p:;ychology. After each of the
principles was developed, ap-
plications were made directly to
areas
of
concern to political
scientists. Class lectures were

As lecture chainnan of the College Union Board,
I would like to
respond to Dr. Louis Zuccarello's guest
editcrial
of
last
week's
CIR~
CLE. Let me clarify and explain the lecture series. The C.U.B.
has
alloted
$6000.
for lectures of the fall and spring semesters 1971-1972;
after one semester $4700 remains, that
'is
a
total of
six
lectures for
$1300.
Since my budget
is
obtained from student fees,
I
have tried not
to
work with agencies, thus not
having
to
charge admission.
A
famous
name speaker will cost about $1500 - $2000 through an agency; for
example. the largest lecture agency American Program Bureau
signs
contracts ranging from $500
to
$4000.
And most colleges and tmiversi-
ties pay large sizeable amounts to

agencies to have super big names

Fr

Groppi. William Kunstler, Dave Dellinger spoke at Marist
during three different semesters as part of each semester's lecture
series; Elizabeth McAllister was not sponsored by the College Unim
Board--Let me also note that each
one
of these speakers
was
offered
to
me at
.
one third of their agency fees .
It
is very difficult
to
get a well known person with opposing views
that is comprable to William Kunstler for instance. During the
Thanksgiving recess I wrote and sent telegrams
to
James Buckley,
George Meany.
George
McGovern, Hubert Humphrey, and Geraldo
Rivera inviting each to speak at Marist;
I received
a
word of response
from the last three with the latter being definite
.
·
·
Let me recollect last semester's lecturers and their topics: William
Kunstler-"Prison Reform"; Dorothy Day-"Her Trip to Russia"; Dr.
Yosef ben-Jochannon--"Africa's Contribution to World Civilizations";
Sebastian Temple-"The Phenomenon of Man"; Dr. Martin
Lang-
"Consciousness IX"; Miss Judy Heuman-"Rights for the Disabled".
And a glance at this semester's series looks like the following: Dave
Dellinger. Geraldo Rivera
<ABC
Eyewitness News), Dr. Franz Polgar
(hypnotist>. and a
10
week video tape series entitled "The New Con-
sciousness".
I
do agree that the big name speakers have been similar in point of
view, however for the past few years
tbs
market for alternative
speakers has been for movement speakers
.
Since opposing views are
not in demand by the college and university campus, agencies
see
it
·
unnecessary to represent lecturers wi.th "moderate approaches to the
problems under discussion." On the other hand
,
I
personally see a
fluctuation in the lecturing market, for the pendulum is beginning
to
swing the other way. An immediate illustration is demonstrated by the
.
fact that an editorial was written

with constructive criticism

an interdisciplinary
approach to psychology and
political science. The summer
of
U170
was spent in planning the
topics. f()r · the c.ourse and in
reviewing the materials and
methodologies which would
be
used.·
The original plan attempted to
combine · the introductory level
coµrses in political science and
psychology, with two aims. in
mind: coverage of the · basic
principles of each of the two
disciplines and presentation
of
an
integrated, interdisciplinary
experience. During the
70-71
academic year, the course was
offered both semesters; Each
class
was
composed of sixty
students,
thirty of whom
registered for psychology credit
and thirty of wnom sought
political science credit. In
reality, therefore, each class was
actually the equivalent
of
two
full
sized classes. The latter was
thought necessary so that the
"leaching loads" of each
professor would not
be
sharply
diminished.
During that first year, the
major topics of the course cen-
tered on basic principles
of
p:;ychology. After each of the
principles was developed, ap-
plications were made directly to
areas
of
concern to political
scientists. Class lectures were

As lecture chainnan of the College Union Board,
I would like to
respond to Dr. Louis Zuccarello's guest
editcrial
of
last
week's
CIR~
CLE. Let me clarify and explain the lecture series. The C.U.B.
has
alloted
$6000.
for lectures of the fall and spring semesters 1971-1972;
after one semester $4700 remains, that
'is
a
total of
six
lectures for
$1300.
Since my budget
is
obtained from student fees,
I
have tried not
to
work with agencies, thus not
having
to
charge admission.
A
famous
name speaker will cost about $1500 - $2000 through an agency; for
example. the largest lecture agency American Program Bureau
signs
contracts ranging from $500
to
$4000.
And most colleges and tmiversi-
ties pay large sizeable amounts to
·
agencies to have super big names
on campus. but not out college union board. I only book
a

if I feel that
this
particular person
·
would cmtribute
stimulating discussion and that he is a necessary part of the lecture

series. however all other possible ways must be

Fr
.
Groppi. William Kunstler, Dave Dellinger spoke at Marist
during three different semesters as part of each semester's lecture
series; Elizabeth McAllister was not sponsored by the College Unim
Board--Let me also note that each
one
of these speakers
was
offered
to
me at
.
one third of their agency fees .
It
is very difficult
to
get a well known person with opposing views
that is comprable to William Kunstler for instance. During the
Thanksgiving recess I wrote and sent telegrams
to
James Buckley,
George Meany.
George
McGovern, Hubert Humphrey, and Geraldo
Rivera inviting each to speak at Marist;
I received
a
word of response
from the last three with the latter being definite
.
·
·
Let me recollect last semester's lecturers and their topics: William
Kunstler-"Prison Reform"; Dorothy Day-"Her Trip to Russia"; Dr.
Yosef ben-Jochannon--"Africa's Contribution to World Civilizations";
Sebastian Temple-"The Phenomenon of Man"; Dr. Martin
Lang-
"Consciousness IX"; Miss Judy Heuman-"Rights for the Disabled".
And a glance at this semester's series looks like the following: Dave
Dellinger. Geraldo Rivera
<ABC
Eyewitness News), Dr. Franz Polgar
(hypnotist>. and a
10
week video tape series entitled "The New Con-
sciousness".
I
do agree that the big name speakers have been similar in point of
view, however for the past few years
tbs
market for alternative
speakers has been for movement speakers
.
Since opposing views are
not in demand by the college and university campus, agencies
see
it
·
unnecessary to represent lecturers wi.th "moderate approaches to the
problems under discussion." On the other hand
,
I
personally see a
fluctuation in the lecturing market, for the pendulum is beginning
to
swing the other way. An immediate illustration is demonstrated by the
.
fact that an editorial was written
·
with constructive criticism
