· TIie Death Of A Pontia(
by Tom Hackett
·· • The

drum
·
is
·
· cracked on the left - side. The manifold · pipes are also
cracked. Lately, · the transmission has been
skipping.
The radio
stutters and the static is more salient than the music. Some time-ago ·
the bac~ window collapsed from the rest of the convertible top. The_.
· · blue monster . now gets ten gallons to the mile • .When it rains, the
trunk becomes filled with water. In the trunk, soaked with water
.is
a
spare that still
is
flat. And when it rains, the windshield wipers work,·
but when it
stops
raining, they won't stop. ·
.
·.
·
It.
was.
one of those
cars
that you never thought of cleaning. There
· . are still beer cans urider the seat, the ash trays have been overflowing
for months, and an inch of dirt covers
tlie
floor. At one time there
_were foot mats, but that was long ago. Occasionally, you would have
to
wipe the :Windshield since the dust and stains made it impossible
. to see. However, rain usually did the job nicely. There are things in ·
the glove compartmentthat could tell unique tales. A flashlight with
_ o_nly one battery; empty cigarette packs, match books, parking '
tickets, can openers, pop tops, pens that don't write and maps that
go _somewhere where we've never been. Among this debris, you may
also find such cherished things as a Carol's wrapper, a strnwthat: was
use_d only twice, broken sunglasses, a screwdriver that doesn't fit any
screw in the car and a cigarette lighter that hasn't lit a cigarette in ·
years.
·
Sitting in the chario~, youthful memories bring a tear to the eye,
like • the Philadelphia bolt! A-year or so ago, six people piled into
the Pontiac with six cases of beer: it was a long trip! There was no
·logical reason for-the excursion, except, of course, that the city has
always existed and the occupants had never been there. Not
believing in ecology then, they left a trail of beer cans along the
· highway as they sped on at a rapid rate. The car overheated about six
times. Upon arriving, they picked up a Jriend and proceeded on to
Boston. Why not?
.
·
-
Other fond memories come to mind.
It
was early morning about
five o'clock. The pontiac had just journeyed from Albany in .
ablinding blizzard. Just as the blue monster pulled into the toll both,
:it began to sputter and moan. It stopp_ed. Not until · about eleven
o'clock did it wake up and allow ~tself to start again.
The tales of. happiness and woe are endless. But now the blue
monster will crawl into the· memory of many; not~ until a
melancholic moment in the future when reminiscing is the order of
the hour will the car live again. Right now, the Pontiac rides no
more.

. After the Jazz-Rock Mass, one student told me: "That was
a

hell of a good Mass. (So was Andre Albert's requested mass held in

ex-Marist students, followed by a birthday party for Dennis Alwon

: .: : · · ·. The
early
Greek ·Fathers. of the Church contended that the
.. ·creation ·of the world was a form of play. God did it out of freedom
· · (not because he had
to)
spontaneously and not in obedience to some
.. inexorable law of necessity. Harvey Cox puts it more up-to-date: He
did it." for the hell of it." Maybe a bit of that attitude at Mass will .
unite us ·to a human Christ who knew how to laugh and enjoy life.
Harvey Cox speaks .of "Christian hope that suggests that man is
· destined for a •city where injustice
is
abolished and there is no more
· crying, a city in which a delightful feast is in progress, where· the
laughter rings out, the dance has just begun, and the best wine is still
to
be. served;" Could the Mass touch a bit on this Christain hope?
Harvey Cox in his Feast of Fools says: "Christianity asserts the
goodness of the world but also recognizes that the world is vexed
with_ ·imperfection, cruelty and contradiction. It
is
good but fallen. -
Christianity teaches the presence of the divine in human flesh' and,
therefore, cannot accept the derogation or destruction of the flesh.
It
also contains an essentially future orientation. It looks forward to
a' New Era, an epoch of peace and human fulfillment. In such a
· · vision
man creates the new, not because the world
is
evil but becasue
its vivacity stimulates
him
to dance, sing· and symbolize. He hopes
for the-·.future because under the
grini
surface of things he can
discern promise and possibility.'' Isn't this .what a living liturgy
brings out? ·
.
.
· .
·
This
song from
·up
With People also tells me something: "There is
something, something going, f9r a world that's in a fog, and it's
sweeping 'cross the country like a hurricane. But the sound that's
started blowing
is
a-deiving out the smog, cause there is something, ·
something going, and man, we've caught it too." ·

Other good news items this past week: Mike Ward's article in last
week's Circle
is
a
Il_lust.
ije
develops an insight that all of us should
be aware of. The -article- by . the If Man was very delicately and
sensitively written.·.
It ·
should arouse one's sympathy and -
understanding; but
·
the hopelessness of the whole situation
is so
·evident. Every ·day last .week was good news because it was filled
with people. . .

·
In
Action
A
few weeks ago, I wrote a satirical dialogue about the ·Division of
Vocational Rehabilitation.
It
was mentioned that a particular job of
_ «putting together ball point pens takes six weeks of· training and
paid twenty cents an hour". Several people approached me asking
if ..
this was an exaggeration. I must admit that it was • most people start
· at fifteen cents
an
hour. These token practices are sanctioned and
even financially supported by the government under the auspices of
sheltered workshops. .
_
• A sheltered workshop
is
directed by a, charitable organization to
employ those people who could not fit into
the
regular_Iabor market
because of a disability. Therapists are on the staff to determine,
through the use of special apparatus, the most efficient method by
which a disabled person can perform his job. The basic philosophy
(the only one I can deduce) behind a workshop is to take the
disabled person from the ·monotony of his home and give him a
monotonous job to keep
him
from
being bored.
What can I be complaining about, because
if
it were not for the
a
sheltered worksh~ps, tliese people wo~d have nothing
t~
do? ~ut

·
.
A workshop itself is discriminatory in that they o~y tak~ those
people who. can manage totally independent of aSS1stance. They
. must' be able to produce at a rate which is no~ t?o much ~ower than
the average worker. The severly disabled (this
is
a ,"lllue J~~~ement
based on the· visibility of the impairment and not on the ablliy~s), are ·
1
not found
in
a workshop because either they need their food cut for
them or they need help· in the bathroom. But ,these p~ople ~n do_ ·-
. useful and interesting work. A person doesn t have to. write to
- answer phones.

It seems to me that the disabled person
JS

lS
not mentally, and sometimes physically, suited fo!· I think th~t the
blame for undignified treatment rests equally wit~ t~e charitable
organizations and the disabled themse~ve~'.
\_V~Y
1s 1t that ?he~
something is being done, no matter how insignificant or degradmg 1t
is,
they take the attitude that "something is better than nothin~"? _
This something retards. the best possible alternative from ever bemg
considered. It
.is.
time for the disabled to stand up on two feet, or
four wheels and demand human dignity. They are being oppressed
by everyon~, even those organizations which are responsible for
welfare.
The answer
is
simple: The disabled must secure rights for -
themselves!
ATTITUDES: o:uTRAGEOUS
.
by BILL O'REILLY
.
The other day, I sat wondering what person _could give me the
secret of success before I graduate; Suddenly a thought hit me. Why
not go straight to the top and ask the President of the College. Yes,
ask Dr. Findus Joy.
I
knew that
if
I wantei:l to get in to see Dr. Joy,
I
would have to
· 1ook impressive and since I haven't looked too impressive in twenty
years, this was a tough order. Undaunted,
I
threw on my jacket and
approached the building where Dr. Joy's office allegedly was.
As I opened the door to the building, a kind of mini Windsor
Castle, a mysterious voice cried out: "WHO ARE YOU."
"I'm a student here and I'd like to see Dr. Findus Joy." I said.
"YOU - - YOU QUIVERING MASS OF INERTIA . __ YOU
WANT TO SEE DR. JOY. TAKE
A HIKE,"
the voice boomed.
"Look its real important," I said. "Its my last chance to find the·
secret of success."

CHANCE: IFYOlJ COMPLETE ..
THREE IMPOSSIBLE TASKS, YOU CAN- SEE DR. JOY, THE
FIRST TASK IS TO PURCHASE A TEXTBOOK IN THE
·
BOOKSTORE," the voice said.·. .
. .
-
. "That
i.s
an impossible task," I-noted.
_
..
- "YOU MUST BE BACK IN ONE HOUR. -GOOD LUCK,". the .
voice discontinued.
.
.
..
I. decided to take the direct approach, -so_ I immediately .,
approached the stout man behind the counter.
"I'd like to purchase a textbook sir." I said
__
"Let's be serious," ·he said. "What do you really want; socks, :
·· records, or a· sweatshirt."
"Look I've gc,t to buy a textbook. Any textbook, Don't you have
anything." I said.
.
, ·
·
"Of_ course we have things. Look at that bank with Marist College
written on it; and look at that electric toothbrush, and-look at that
-squirrel eating the candy. Those are things. We even have the-latest
L.P. Oldies You Don't Care About by B. Bumble and the Stingers,"
_ the salesman said. .
. . ·
. . ·
.
·
·
_
"I've got, to get a textbook. Look, if you get me a textbook, I'll
buy.one of those stuffed Redfoxes you've been trying to_get rid of
for- the past eight years," I offered.
.
· "If's · a deal,'' he said. "I've got one textbo<;>k hidd_en ay.ray for .
emergencies like this. Here it is-The Ancient History of Lapland by·
Anonymous."
.
"That's great, I'll take it," I said.
"Good, that's
79
cents for the book and eight dollars for the
Fox,'' he said smiling. ·
I immediately brought my-prize back to the voice.
As I entered the voice bellowed: "WHAT ARE YOU DOING
· BACK YOU INEPT CLOD." .
· "Uh, I've got the book,'' I said .
''ALRIGHT, THE SECOND IMPOSSIBLE TASK IS TO TAKE A
HOT SHOWER IN CHAMPAGNAT HALL," the voice said.-
-
"Oh my God," I added and immediatelyleft. · -
.
The. best way to · solve this _impossible taks, I reasoned~ was to
appeal to the man who is the driving force behind the maintenance
- dt:_partment at the college. I approached the short, stocky man and
said:
·
-
_
_ •:po you think its possible to get a hot shower in Champagnat,
SU'.
.
"Wha, a hot shower. When I was a boy in a de old country the
· ~>nly ~ay I could a get a J:iot shower was ta set my!elf on fire and
Jump mto a puddle. I don ta see a why it shouldn't a be a the same
for yous kids,'' he said.
·
!aking his advice I
did
just that and immediately returned to the
v01ce.
"YOU CHEATED ON THAT ONE CLOWN
BUT
I'LL LET
IT
GO," the voice said. "YOUR LAST TASK
IS
TO FORCE THE
CHAPLIN TO FROWN."
-
-
"That's impossible," I said. "The chaplain smiles so much if he
frowns his jaw will break.''
·
'
"THAT'S YOUR PROBLEM, CHIEF," the voice bellowed.
I went out and pretty soon found the chaplin singing to himself
"Everything is beautiful in its own waaayaa."
·
"Excuse me Father," I said.
"Oh this
is
good news," he said "Sit down, how are you you look
great. Everything
is
great." ·

Holding on
to
the high school criterion that validates academic
suc·cess, the juniors have added to the ring a prom, the last prom, to
be held at the Hedges, the Hotel Pierre of Poughkeepsie. The flashing
of rings, the prom, it all keeps the class representatives busy planning
every detail. Everything must be perfect, a prom experience is a once
in a lifetime affair, isn't it?
After the ring, most fears can be dismissed. Now all the juniors
have- to do
is
act like seniors_ It would be difficult for them to
remember back to high school in order to solve this problem
though, for they haven't been seniors for at l~ast four years. Th;
easiest solution then would be to follow the lead of this year's
seniors. It's a good idea to hide the fact that one couldn't find what
they expected of college in

Mr. President,
After what you have explained
to me, I don't feel guilty to have

the 25th of December by your
orders. You may be · god, but
you have always been a poor god
who has never been informed,
because, as minister of
_ information, I wanted, since, to
l~ve you with your foolishness.
When you ordered to shoot all
these · people, I thought it was
the best way to let you shoot
your own father who was a
subversive too, to learn what it is
to ignore sensitivity.
Like I new my father was
against your regime, I was sure

they're "frugally" using paper

(I

The last three years ofvarsity

for his · 1ast three varsity years
and· played
in ·
70 · consecutive
games. His .consistency and

was . earned in games

he will be the second leading

(1967). -
In analyzing the career of Ray
Manning coach Ron Petro feels,
.. Ray has been one of the most
